Cream Pan also carries house-baked milk bread wrapped and ready to go, plus there’s a solid cafe menu with everything from onigiri to curry buns to egg sandwiches. We’re partial to the pork katsu plate—it usually takes about 15 mins to fry up an order, but the tender, golden-brown cutlet is worth every second. If you leave Gjusta without bread and/or baked goods, you’re not to be trusted. In addition to a full food menu, this Venice establishment offers a huge variety of bialys, bagels, sourdough loaves, and baguettes. Their baguettes are hard to beat, but focus on the pumpernickel and olive loaves if they're in stock. Even the butter you spread on top will be in awe of their herby notes and spongy texture.

You’ll find beautiful seeded loaves, studded with sunflower, pumpkin, and poppy seeds that go nicely with a cup of coffee, or just a quick smear of butter. Semi-sweet pan loaves are made with house-milled yellow corn, and conchas come with a thick sugar cookie frosting that's the right amount of sweet. They also carry a rotating list of weekend-only specials, like jalapeño cheddar biscuits and strawberry jujube tamales, so plan on getting there early before they sell out. We laminate our croissants, puff pastry and danishes on site, and only use the highest quality butter that has no added "natural flavorings." Our bakery menu will change with the seasons. “Roth, who spent years perfecting the recipe, claims the moisture level in the cake coupled with the local ingredients make it addicting.

The Bub & Grandma’s cafe in Glassell Park is an homage to the early-morning American diner, complete with cushy white booths and a wrap-around counter. There’s so much to take in at this perennial Venice hotspot — but pause to look in the very first glass case of the bakery, where all of beautifully executed pastries, cakes, pies, galettes, and more reside. At breakfast, try a flaky tahini or ham and cheese croissant, and if the carrot cake is available, don’t miss out on a slice slathered in cream-cheese frosting. Sometimes, when the days get long and every night blurs together, we slip into a very specific daydream—one where we cut off all our hair, move to the Danish countryside, and go by a new name. The brightly lit bake shop in Culver City has more Danish goods than an IKEA showroom, from pretzel-shaped kringles to butter cakes to loaves of rye.

I was hooked and I did not expect to like the cake as much as I did. Like Roth said in the interview above, you will be addicted to it! A few days after, I went back for the medium-sized Bomb Ass Olive Oil Cake (pictured above). Through word-of-mouth, Little House Confections started getting their name out there. Big things didn’t really start happening until her friend Simone Harouche, a popular interior designer and stylist friend of Kim Kardashian’s, bought a cake for Kim. Founded by Liz Roth and Jaymie Wisneski, Little House Confections was born in April 2020 as a result of the pandemic.

They ordered a mask of Ford’s face and spent about 10 days perfecting his features, they said, fretting in particular over his “luscious” and “voluptuous” lips. In many bakeries there is a divide between the front and back of the house. We want our customers to know everything is made under "One House" and we want them to feel at home.

Her resume includes working at Bouchon Bakery and baking bread for the French Laundry, both in Yountville, Calif., and owned by Thomas Keller. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to make a 6-foot sculpture of “Star Wars” character Han Solo out of bread, well, a Bay Area bakery has risen to the occasion. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declared a state of emergency on homelessness shortly after she took office in December 2022.

For starters, they make the best mango sticky rice in the city (temperature and texture are always spot on). But they also have fresh coconut pancakes, jellies, puddings, cakes, and dumplings. Get some grilled sticky rice with banana or taro, and the gooey, bite-sized taro cakes studded with corn kernels. Boreks are $2.75 a piece, so loading up a bag full is always a good idea, but the must-order here is the lahmajune.

Both the original in Culver City and second in Pasadena offer fresh-baked flaky pastries. Shopping at Copenhagen is a treat in and of itself as the staff happily gives shoppers samples to aide in any indecision that might come about while deciding between the kringle or spandauer. Open for nearly 75 years, it doesn’t get more classic than La Mascota in Boyle Heights.

Named after a sweet custard-filled pastry, Cream Pan is the kind of French/Japanese bakery that understands the power of whipped dairy. The long glass cases inside their massive Lomita bakeshop are lined with things like melon buns, custard cups, and shortcakes covered in homemade icing. No trip here is complete with one of their strawberry croissants, too—it tastes like a cross between puff pastry and profiterole, with sweet cream and strawberry slices oozing from flaky laminated dough.

The order station up front is lined with packaged baked goods like bright red longganisa pandesal, a luscious meat-stuffed roll with the luscious fluff of a donut hole. Plus, they’ve got a hot bar in the back with rotating Filipino fast food—pick up pork adobo and a whole ube cheesecake in one go. If you’ve ever ordered anything bread-related from a place in LA with cutesy menu fonts and small-batch coffee, you're likely familiar with Bub & Grandma's. The wholesale bakery has been supplying amazing baked goods around town for years but had never had a space of its own—until now.

Stunning patisserie Artelice has some of the most beautiful, and technically sound, pastries and desserts in Los Angeles. With a full time patisserie in Burbank, as well as a weekend-focused outlet in Sawtelle Japantown, these are grand sweets that would elevate any afternoon tea or evening gathering. This Danish bakery has some of the best sweet treats in the city, with items like almondy kringles, raspberry Danishes, nougat crowns, braided cinnamon lines, and more, all for very fair prices.

Peter, along with Catherine's help, ran a successful contracting business in Canada for 30 years. “I’ve found some nice people here by the river and freeway,” she said as she walked along the channel, where river rocks poked through the concrete. Augusto’s shelter is not unique along the Arroyo Seco, as many other dwellings have sprouted along the channel. The growth of homeless communities in open spaces throughout the city speaks to that problem, whether they’re under freeway onramps, in RVs lining the curbs or in encampments in and around green spaces. Nearly 30% of the people in the U.S. who experienced homelessness for at least one night in January 2023 were in California, according to a federal point-in-time count released in December.

But one thing that’s not up for debate is Republique’s reputation as a pastry powerhouse. You won’t find a more attractive display case anywhere in LA, with tiered rows of custardy Basque cheesecakes, chocolate tarts with shiny ganache, and pain au chocolat piled on top of each other like fluffy pillows. They taste just as good as they look, and we suggest splurging on a box of these baked goods before they run out after the brunch rush.
