Bakery LA is a French patisserie with beautifully made pastries in a comfortable, inviting space. The staff is consistently kind and attentive, which adds a lot to the overall experience. The pastries themselves stand out visually and feel thoughtfully prepared. Ordering is done through screens, which can feel a bit tedious, though it makes sense for how the space operates. Once ordered, everything runs smoothly. The seating works well for a bigger breakfast with family or for a quick stop, and it also functions as a solid place to sit and work for a while. The only small area that could be improved is the napkins, which feel a bit basic compared to everything extraordinary here., and of course, I love the bathrooms that are gender, neutral how great! read more

Was walking down Pico and saw Bakery.LA so I stopped to see what they had. There was a large assortment of pastries. I decided to get a croissant. (I'm not supposed to eat too much sugar.) The croissant was very big and very good. For those who may be looking for a nice place to sit awhile there are many nice places to sit at Bakery.LA. While there I noticed Bakery.LA was winner of the Los Angeles Best Baguette contest. The next time I am there I will get a baguette. read more

I've been to Bakery LA a few times now and I honestly can't say enough good things. Everything I've tried has been sooo good! The pastries are always fresh, super flavorful, and just hit every time. You can tell they really put care into what they make. Also, the owner and everyone working there are seriously the sweetest. Every time I come in, I'm greeted so warmly and treated with so much kindness and respect, it really makes a difference and keeps me coming back Make sure you check them out ASAP! read more

@bakery.la_ : you hold a special place in my TART! As someone who's tried so many LA brunch spots, I was actually so impressed by the newest location of this Paris-based brunch joint. Their diverse menu features handcrafted French pastries, artisanal bread (including baguette, which was awarded LA's best in 2022), hearty brunch dishes, and freshly served cafe drinks, which were all extremely reasonably priced (especially for LA). Service was very nice, but I would definitely be patient since the restaurant is new, and my table and several other parties had orders that were mistakenly delivered or charged (which the staff immediately fixed upon bringing it to their attention). Definitely check out this spot for some of the BEST and most affordable brunch/cafe dishes in West LA!

I think the croissant is very nice. Smoked salmon salad is also very fresh. Quiche is delicious too and it's quite European style I barely found it here. The servers are very friendly. They have spacious seatings. There was a fly bugging my table but maybe that's unavoidable for the weather here. read more

I guess ordering at Kiosk and getting charged a convenience fee is a thing nowadays. Walked in and the lady was very friendly. We clicked thru menu and read thru the details of items, and just order at the kiosk. Saw the little question mark next to taxes and fees and i clicked on it, letting me know they are charging a convenience fee. Oh well. Staff did say she's around if we need anything. BF ordered avocado toast and I ordered Croque Madame with a latte. I liked my food, was surprised there was caraway seeds in the sourdough. But BF was not happy about the portion of his avocado toast. This is same spot as Einstein Bros Bagels and Corner Bakery (which we did not even get a chance to visit before it closed). Quite and open space, much nicer place to hang out than Starbucks for sure. Combined rating for the two of us is 3 stars for our first visit, but I am sorta interested to return and try their pastries one day. read more

Bakery LA is one of those places that have coffee that I hadn't visited. I was excited to try out the iced coffee here, but the beans did not leave a good impression on me.

Brand new legit French bakery in town! Accidentally found it on Yelp and certainly it didn't take me long before I paid my initial visit. All the attendants were super sweet and it's not a rare view seeing they served people in French as well when I was there. They also mentioned that the owner had everything sold there baked in house. Plenty of seats available and it's not overly crowded, making it perfect spots to get work done. Street parking also wasn't hard to find on a Sunday noon. Bunch of options were served, from pastries to cakes to made-to-order sandwiches. As I went for quick munch, I tried their Chocolate Almond Croissant, which you might have correctly guessed, yes Pain Au Choc with extra happiness added from almond paste and that crunchy almond layer on top. I loved how theirs having the almond paste being so generous and came in right thickness as some usually bit too thin. The pastry base itself was greatly fragrant as well despite not reheated when served. Could be my new to-go! read more

Paris meets LA vibe! Bakery LA is a new French inspired eatery in Los Angeles known for its friendly service, fresh pastries and sandwiches. Their breakfast and lunch items are reasonable price. My favorites are the French omelettes, French baguette with chicken and croissant sandwich. They use fresh ingredients and house made sauces for that perfectly balanced flavor. I also like their fresh orange juice and pistachio latte. The ambience is clean and beautiful. The abundance pastries in the display case are inviting. The pastries are freshly made by their passionate owners. The delicious crème brûlée, strawberry tart and vanilla flan are must try items. Their friendly and prompt customer service makes the dining experience pleasant. You cannot leave here without taking their award winning baguette home. This is a must try spot for brunch. read more

Didn't have English Breakfast. Everything in the case looked great. We had the mille flour (sp?). A layered pastry and took home a pistachio flan. Both were great.

I went a friend's birthday party this past weekend, and her family ordered the cake from Baked Bar LA to celebrate the occasion. Not only was the cake absolutely beautiful, it was delicious. It was a white cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream filling. The cake was beautifully decorated with flowers; they looked real. I've had pastries, breads, and other cakes in the past, and everything there is so fresh and yummy. It's hard to say which pastries are my favorite. They also have the best vegan granola I've ever had. The staff is very friendly and take the time to describe what the pastries are if you have any questions. Here are some pictures of the amazing birthday cake. I highly recommend using Baked Bar LA for baking your special occasion cakes. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is my first Yelp review ever and I'm finally writing it because I'm obsessed with Bakery LA and really want to see them succeed! First off, let's talk about the Baguette. It's simply sublime. The perfect crustiness and softness and buttery taste will make you drive across the city to get another one again and again! I don't live on the Westside, and yet, I'm here about once a week to get these addictive baguettes. After I tried Bakery LA, I started telling my friends about it and how they should come here to get a real baguette. One told me that there was another French bakery closer to us so we checked it out to see how it was. It was literally inedible in comparison. We did not finish it, and my husband now refers to the baguette-not-finished as the "badguette." We will not make that mistake again. We've also tried the macarons! Such a good selection of lots of different flavors. The galette is also perfect! And the turkey and cheese croissant, veggie sandwich, and the beef patty sandwiches are all so good. It's made with the famous crusty baguette, so it's automatically delicious. They also have a homemade hot sauce of some kind that has a sweet taste to it and it's very good. I'm looking forward to making my way through the menu. Lastly, the staff here are wonderful. They're very friendly and welcoming. And if you want to practice your French, this is the place to go! read more

I was really excited to try this neighborhood bakery, especially since Artelice Patisserie doesn't sell baguettes. Given the glowing five-star reviews, my expectations were high--but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The so-called 'French' baguette didn't resemble an actual French baguette in taste or texture; it was more like a Vons sub roll. Not necessarily bad, but definitely not what I was hoping for. We also tried the cookie croissant, and unless you plan to take it home and let it set, the cookie dough inside remains raw--which some might enjoy, but personally, I didn't. While everything looks "mid", nothing really stood out, visually or taste-wise. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but overall, it didn't quite live up to the hype. read more

Zinc Café & Bar

I want to update my review about the location of Zinc that I wrote over a decade ago. Since my…read moreinitial review, I've continued to come to this restaurant. It remains a unique addition to the neighborhood, as well as a good place to grab some interesting dishes. Since the opening of this particular business, the Zinc chain has opened in a few other locations. Those locations are much newer in not only their establishment but their design. This is not to say that this is still not an interesting, well-designed business, but, with time, it has become a little bit rundown. I hate to say it, but that is the truth. This location could really use an update and perhaps a deep cleaning. I was, in fact, kind of surprised at the condition of this business, for example, on the way towards their restrooms. From my opinion, it needs an clean up and an update. Also, the litter that surrounded some of the outdoor tables where I was sitting at my most recent visit was very surprising. This is just something to keep in mind if you're coming here for your first visit. In terms of what they offer for food, though it has evolved a bit over the years, they still have a great, heath-based menu, with some very interesting choices. For all of you vegetarians and vegans out there, you will, for sure, be able to find some tasty food to eat. Once upon a time, this restaurant was impacted with tons and tons of people. It was constantly full with people either going to the bakery and/or sitting down for table service. Shortly past their opening each day, there would be a line of people waiting for service. This seems to have changed, however. Meaning, if you're looking for an interesting place to eat, with some good dishes, at the far Southeast side of DTLA, near the lofts district, and you want a place without a long wait to get a table and/or your food, this may still be your place to go.

This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had at Zinc. I've been coming here on and…read moreoff for the past four years and have never experienced customer service this bad. We started with coffee. My boyfriend ordered a mocha, and I ordered a salted caramel latte. His drink was fine, but mine had absolutely no flavoring. As a former barista, I could immediately tell it was just a plain iced latte. I politely asked the waitress if they had forgotten the syrup, and she insisted, "There is syrup in it, but I can ask them to add more." I knew there wasn't any syrup, but I didn't want to argue, so I said, "Sure, please add more." A few minutes later, the manager came over and told me they actually didn't have salted caramel. So I asked if I could just get a regular caramel latte instead. She then told me they couldn't make that either because they were out of caramel sauce, the very reason they couldn't make the salted caramel in the first place. So why hand me a plain iced latte and tell me it had syrup when you knew you didn't even have the ingredients? Why not simply come back and let me know you were out and ask if I'd like something else? Instead, I was given a regular latte at the price of a flavored one (plus they later charged me for the syrup they never even added). For context, I had originally ordered a dirty chai, which they also couldn't make. So that's two drinks they didn't have, yet no one thought to communicate that before serving me something completely different. When I told the manager I'd look back at the menu for another option, she responded, "Okay... are you going to tell the waitress what drink you want?" I just looked at her, confused, and said, "Well... yeah?" How else was I supposed to order a replacement? The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude. Then it was time to order food. My boyfriend ordered the truffle burger, and I ordered the French toast. The waitress came back a few minutes later and said they couldn't make the French toast. No problem, I told her I'd also have the truffle burger. She acknowledged it, wrote it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and what side I wanted. I ordered it medium-well with fries. So both burger orders were sent in at the same time. About 20 minutes later, the food arrived, but only my boyfriend's burger and an extra side of fries that we never ordered. At that point, we didn't even bother saying anything about the fries because we were trying to avoid making things more difficult. We waited another 20 minutes (even though it was so slow). My boyfriend finished eating, and my burger still hadn't come out. Finally, we asked for the check and requested that my burger be removed since it never arrived. That's when the waitress told us I had never ordered a second burger. I was honestly speechless. I reminded her that she had taken my order after telling me they couldn't make the French toast. She had written it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and asked what side I wanted. Her response was that she thought I meant only my boyfriend's burger. That explanation made no sense because my boyfriend's order had already been taken before she took mine. It honestly felt like we were being gaslit over something as simple as ordering a burger. To make matters worse, after we paid and were finally leaving, I looked at the receipt and realized I had been charged for the salted caramel latte that I never actually received. We had to go back yet again. Thankfully, a different employee, not the waitress or the manager helped us. They were friendly, understanding, and quickly corrected the charge. I'm not sure if management has changed, but this entire experience was unnecessarily frustrating from beginning to end. Everything that could have gone wrong did. Honestly, I should've taken the "B" health grade posted on the window as a warning. We ended up walking over to Blue Bottle next door for coffee instead, and I'd absolutely recommend going there if you're looking for a place that actually values customer service. After four years of coming to Zinc, this experience has me seriously questioning whether I'll ever be back.

There is a small seating area, and the seats weren't particularly comfortable, but the space seems intended more for a quick stop rather than a long sit-down meal. I ordered the beignet, breakfast po'boy sandwich, and chicken and waffles. - The beignet tasted good, but the portion was quite small. - The egg in the breakfast po'boy was burnt, which affected the overall flavor. - The chicken and waffles tasted like frozen food that had been reheated rather than freshly made. On the positive side, the service was very kind and friendly. However, overall the food was disappointing.

Sampa is located in the Arts District near the intersection of S Hewitt St and E 5th right next to Urth Cafe. There's a parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant but you can also park around the corner by Arts District Park for $5. If it's your first time visiting Sampa, you have to be open minded towards the concept itself. Yes, the dishes here are smaller in portion and costs more than your typical fast casual spot. All the servers here are attentive and offer to help with what to order if you're unsure. For dinner, the Crispy Pasta is their take on crispy pata but served with spinach tagliatelle. The crab fat fried rice is a no brainer and depending on the night you come, I highly recommend the Sinigang xiaolongbao special. You don't have to be Filipino to appreciate what Sampa is doing for the culture, just come by and see for yourself.

The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar.

For the main dishes, we shared the French toast, chilaquiles, and shrimp and grits, along with house-made bacon and butterball potatoes. The French toast and bacon were my favorites by far. My goodness. I am still thinking about them. The shrimp and grits were also perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. What made me laugh was that our group is usually very chatty.
