It's relatively busy but the line moved swiftly. The Larchmont store was pretty lively with the crowded and colorful wall deco! It's pretty fun to see that they came up with more seasonal items lately and most of them nailed it well when they came to cookies. Previously the lemon one and the most recent was the Raspberry Pistachio which I was impressed by as I just fancied sweet and refreshing combo of white chocolate and raspberry. The pistachio added more texture to it for sure. Same as any Levain cookies, best enjoyed warm and fresh out of oven. The Cookie Milk Latte was actually the main reason bringing me here, yet I was bit let down by it as I was expecting more malty cookie flavor in the drink. I felt it tasted not much different to regular cream top latte with some cookie crumbles in it.

Delicious drinks and creative pastries!…read more Tried Fondry LA and the matcha vanilla pistachio drink was definitely the highlight--so delicious and perfectly sweet without needing any sweetness adjustment. Easily my favorite thing I tried! The tofu cream croissant toast was airy and light, with a creamy topping that wasn't overly sweet. The mushroom béchamel was savory and good. I only got it because my brother suggested it. Normally I would not seek mushroom pastries even though I like mushrooms. The yuzu meringue croiffin was good, but I am not used to tart flavors in croissant/pastry combination. The cafe is very tiny, with only one table for seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. There are seats outside. I also wanted to try the black sesame pastry, but didn't see it available when I visited. I'd definitely go back to try it. The drink was the standout for me!

The key is to go on a weekday to avoid the line, as the weekend can definitely get busy. This last time I finally got to try the tofu cream topped croissant, which was ~to die for~. It was a little bit savory with the miso but still (not too) sweet. This felt super original and I would definitely recommend. I also tried the pistachio croissant and asparagus danish this time round and both were extremely good as well. I would have no qualms with re-ordering either. The only note is the pistachio cream is pretty runny, so it's hard to cut and share, as the cream just oozes out. The workers there are super friendly and kind. The drinks are also very good if you're looking to get a little extra treat as well.

Great pastries, and they're so pretty too!…read more I really enjoyed the mango pastry. It isn't overly sweet, which says a lot coming from an Asian! The mango had the perfect balance of tart and creamy. It wasn't too heavy, and it's easy to finish one by yourself. I also tried the pistachio, and it was really good too! It's nutty with a strong pistachio flavor, and again, not overly sweet. It even has little chunks of pistachio throughout, which adds a nice texture. If you love pistachio, this is definitely the one to get. I would definitely come back and try some of their other flavors!

She took me here. The place was very clean and tidy with a lot of different types of sweet treats. I was there for one thing only. I did ask the gal working if they were made that day and she said yes. We ordered a raspberry, an orange, a coffee bean and the popular mango. This was my 2nd time trying these and our hopes were high BUT the raspberry was just awful the filling was strange and it had just raspberry jam inside,I dint eat it. The mango was okay so we shared that. The coffee bean was just awful as well so we didn't finish that either. The orange was the best of the group but overall just a disappointing experience once again because these are not cheap. I'm starting to think I might just have to give up my journey to find these although there are some places in Vegas that look promising. I don't think Reno has any bakeries that make these. They look so beautiful but the taste is a let down.

We ended up with a chicken, pork and beef one. They were piping hot and the bread itself was nice and soft. But the filling was very mushy until the more meatloaf like texture that I'm used to with these types of buns. I was not a fan of any of the buns. The plain bread part was great, but the filling was just mush and salty. Out of the 3, I would say the pork one was the better one.

Honestly, I think it's even better than the famous spot everyone talks about. My favorite is the corn cheese, it's especially delicious when it's warm. I also tried the Korean chamoe (melon) smoothie, and it was very refreshing. It tasted like they used real melon, since there was a slight natural tanginess that made it even better.

On the other hand the service is great, the surroundings very comforting and the dessert display is not be missed. They have inside dining, a sunlit back area and shaded outdoor dining by the street. There are pricy parking lots nearby and, with luck, street parking is available. The lot next to the restaurant charged $20 on a Sunday, although we found a spot on a nearby side street. A hint - double check the parking signs before street parking because tickets can be very expensive and tow away is in effect at select spots. Other than parking, Bottega Louie is the place to be.

The cake was definitely quality we rented the fountain from them they delivered it set it up and we returned what we rented and got the deposit back. our cake was for 100 people and with the cost of the deposit and the delivery fee it was $400. Another important factor is the place where they delivered had no elevator and no escalator and there were stairs so the fact that they did all that too without charging us extra was such a relief. everywhere I went was at minimum $800 and that wasn't even for the amount of people that we asked for. The pictures are old school but that's what we were going for the fountains are definitely a day to think but they said you can give them a picture and they can do whatever you want. When I return the fountain I did see a really beautiful butterfly cake that someone designed I wish I would have taken a picture of it. Come here if you want a delicious cake for an affordable price in these crazy times!

After 20 plus years of buying 3/5 cakes per year, I will never go back to this bakery. How I miss…read morethe days when Tom still owned this bakery (before his family took over). His customer service and his attention to detail were outstanding! Even after he sold it to a family member, I continued buying my cakes there, as it's been a family tradition for decades. Birthdays, graduations, baby showers, congratulations cakes, and a few holidays throughout the year, we get our cakes here and would always send business their way. But, throughout the years after Tom left, we noticed the quality and quantity not only of their customer service, but also their cakes decline. The sponge got thinner and thinner, as the price steadily continued going up. Basically half the sponge for double the price, but the flavor we all had gotten accustomed to was still the same so we continued buying cakes there. Then a few years back we noticed even the favor and the most basic of decorations started to decline. A basic cake that once had a trim and a few colored flowers, were no longer. "Who wants an all white buttercream cake?? That looks unfinished??" Cakes are purchased for celebration, and instead they are now, with no effort AT ALL just providing these cakes with no decoration at all. Plain, with chocolate writing, that's it that's all. Nowadays, I can get a tastier, better decorated cake at Walmart, and for a 3rd of the price! They have completely destroyed Tom's legacy! And if that's not bad enough, the customer service is now horrendous! I went in to pick up a cake; When I arrived, I asked if the cake was ready as the ones in the fridge didn't look finished or like anything I had ordered. The young lady at the counter tells me it's ready and proceeded to pack up the most hideous plain cake I've ever seen. I paused and asked her, why wasn't it done as ordered? I stated for it to be done in blue (as it's always been done) blue writing, blue, trim, a few blue flowers, and of course the writing (a pretty basic and standard cake, nothing fancy). She looks at a note and tells me "well, we can fix the writing but it's going to look ugly" no apology for their mistake, just this look on her face, like it bothered her that it was brought to her attention. Then I showed her photos of previous purchased cakes (from there) and she stated well, I've never seen you here... well, I hadn't seen her either, still doesn't change the fact that... 1. It was done wrong and the cake was not what I had ordered... 2. That she had a horrible attitude. People like her is the reason small shops like this one go out of business. No one wants to have their time wasted, and give up their hard earned money for a "professional" service to be provided and met with mediocre service, the wrong order, and on top of that given an attitude and asked to pay extra to correct their mistakes and confusion; if I wanted as ordered! AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE WE'LL NEVER RETURN. WE'RE TAKING OUR BUSINESS AND OUR MONEY TO AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT TREATS THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH COURTESY AND RESPECT, THAT DOESNT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS WHEN INTRUSTING THEM WITH OUR BUSINESS ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS OR EVENTS. They should be ashamed of therselfs, and they should seriously look in to new hires! Save yourself the hassle of having to deal with the same kind of experience, and go elsewhere!
