    The Helms Bakery District is a cool collection of vintage warehouses and building that have basically become an furniture area. There are multiple higher end furniture stores and places to eat. It is somewhat small so this is more of a stop rather than a whole day trip. There is a pedestrian only center street with benches and a small park. Not sure about parking as we got there at 10:30 AM on a Sunday so had no problem finding a spot.

    my mom has fond childhood memories of the helms truck. we were waiting for this bakery to be built and open for business. it did not disappoint. the nutella stuffed cookie is divine. the cinnamon roll is complete decadence. topped everything off with a lovely cherry blossom matcha latte. can't wait to come back for lunch and the cherry pie sundae

    I was totally expecting some delicious baked goods ... well I was completely wrong. Helms Bakery District is a plaza with various modern furniture and design retail shops as well as few well-known restaurants such as Father's Office. [Parking]: Free parking and there's enough parking spots (giant parking structure.) [Shops]: HD Buttercup/Coco Republic is the current occupant for the historic Helms Bakery building and there's a small museum about Helms Bakery inside of the furniture store. Other retail shops include Room & Board (modern furniture & home decor), Harbour Outdoor (furniture), Kohler Signature Store (kitchen and bath showroom), Arcana: Books on the Arts (bookstore), etc. Just like The Culver Steps, Helms Bakery District is a nice plaza to stop by for anyone who's visiting Culver City; however, I think this is one of those one-and-done spots unless you are super into interior design or modern furnitures. Think of this plaza as a mini version of SOCO & The OC Mix in Costa Mesa.

    Had the opportunity to check out the hip-hop architecture exhibit at Helms Bakery district.it was AMAZING!! The blend of architecture and hip-hop was very insightful. To view varying perspectives of the influences of sound and building design was pretty unique to see. Also, I was able to make out some song lyrics along the walls that featured graffiti artists' Prime's work. It was a quick walk through, and it was free. We didn't have reservations or tickets. We just walked in. I highly recommend checking this exhibit out. I appreciated the diversity of this being at Helms district.

    Guys, close to the metro, Culver City is renovating the area with new buildings, Art District where is in the historic Factory of Breads! Helms! Many friends have good memories from the delicious breads they did. Now, modern stores, restaurants and breweries. Take a day in the your weekend and enjoy the

    A few things to explore (e.g. bookstore, restaurants like Pasta Sisters) but the space is mostly filled with home/home designing stores. So if you're looking for that, this is the place for you! Plus there's 2 hours of free parking in their parking garage if you did want to stop by. Interestingly, there is a mini museum section in the store HD Buttercup on the old Helms Bakery District. If you stop by, be sure to look for the man on the bread bus :)

    For the eater-ays part of the trip, we decided to visit Pasta Sisters in the Helms Bakery plaza in Culver City. We used to live in the area many years ago, and back then there was only the HD Buttercup furniture store. Now there are several home stores, a book store, and a couple of restaurants. There is a small lot in the back of the plaza, and there is a good amount of street parking all around. You can access the plaza from 3 of the 4 sides, so it's easy to go there; despite the general busyness of the area.

    I was in Culver City and decided to check out this place. I have been here before in the evening for a Louis Poulsen event and did not get to look around. This is a great collection of stores offering furniture and interior furnishings. Like high end Ikeas, the price range is many times over that of Ikea but they offer a huge range of tasteful modern designs. If you are looking for higher end modern furnishings, this is the place to go.

    Out went one of the last jazz venues (Jazz Bakery) and in came even more furniture, fixture, and culinary supply shops, some of which are quite large, but dwarfed by the massive sprawl of the historic Helm's Bakery. This must have been one helluva operation whenever when was. At least the property didn't succumb to neglect and serve as a de facto homeless shelter. What is it now? Slightly removed from the revival effort in downtown, the Helm's District is a side tour, and on account of the size, I really saw nothing except the exterior driving by. It's true that I had lunch in one of the restaurants and was wowed by a vast furniture store, I didn't have time to explore, so this time it was a reconnaissance mission. Pros: open, clean and well organized with maps and pedestrian walkways. Cons: parking. If you're lucky to get a side street spot, set your timer on the low side of two-hours. This is another example of gentrification, but if that means clean and safe, so mote it be.

    Who knew?! Passed by the Helms Bakery District a number of times over the past few years. Didn't realize what it was about. Today we decided to check it out. After valet parking the car for free, we wandered through several of the furniture showrooms. Wow! Such an eclectic mix of design styles. What made it so fascinating for me was the high contrast of the old bakery buildings with the current interior design merchandise. Much of the lighting options are quite unique from what you'd see at a typical lamp store. There are decor styles for every taste among the different showrooms in the complex. Several restaurants are available along the pedestrian mall area, along with benches to take a break, and a whimsical water feature. Can't wait to take our niece there when she's in town again! There's so much to see.

    Very beautiful chandelier in the center of this awesome space.

    Lisa is a wonderfully experienced and expert designer whose creative input, aesthetic vision and…read moreprofessional contacts were instrumental for the success of our home remodeling project. We consulted Lisa once we had already embarked on the project although I wish we had done it sooner. From the beginning, Lisa made us feel welcome and comfortable even though this was not a million dollar project. We appreciated her positive attitude and generous spirit. She provided key input on layout, design and materials as well as expert vendor recommendations for window treatments, closet solutions, lighting, tiles, fixtures, wall coverings, furniture and decor. Her rates were fair and she was always mindful of our budget and time constraints when recommending ideas and solutions. Lisa took time to understand our aesthetic preferences. She worked tirelessly to make sure that the contractor/ vendors delivered high quality results and on time. When we had a small issue with the closet vendor, she immediately escalated it and made sure that the work was completed to our satisfaction. Her thoughtful recommendations and painstaking attention to detail were critical in delivering results which are beautiful, functional, and harmonize well with the rest of the house. Special kudos to her for the kids bedroom, bathroom and powder room- they are stunning thanks to her vision and selection of paint colors, wallpaper and / materials. Finally, we had a lot of fun working with Lisa. Her high energy, enthusiasm and sense of humor took a lot of the stress out of remodeling and made us feel good throughout the process. We really appreciated the opportunity to work with Lisa and hope we get to collaborate again with her in the future

Also, she watched for details and was able to get prices and secure resources I could never accomplish on my own. Lisa is an extremely talented designer with so many incredibly valuable industry connections to assist with whatever we needed, and assist with any glitches that might arise. She worked with me directly, and really listened to me and helped me develop ideas and vision. I am beyond thrilled with the project in my West Hollywood home. Her relaxed and friendly demeanor as well as her sense of style, made her seem like someone I would enjoy working with. I am absolutely in LOVE with everything. Her imagination, creativity and attention to detail was a very big help. She is professional, resourceful, trustworthy, and easy to work with. Her customer service and record keeping skills are first-rate. Also, she always had an eye on the contractor and workmanship details. I never would have known to watch for these things. Everything came in on time, on budget, and exceeded my expectations. The painters and assorted trades and workers she recommended were timely, considerate, and professional. The quality of all the design and construction work is excellent, and we saved on budget with beautiful results. I absolutely could not be more thrilled.

After he founded his own business Jonathan Wang Design, I was lucky to work with him as a structural consultant from 2019. It's a great pleasure to work with him because I like to take challenges for his creative design, great project management process. Even though sometimes his extraordinary ideas cost lots of time of engineering to make it happen. His custom-oriented approach and exceptional understanding of beauty have always been not comprised. I look forward to continuing work with Jonathan to build more timeless masterpiece projects!

Not only was the sofa delivered late, but the back cushions were the wrong size. After several calls back and forth they finally sent someone out who determined the cushions were indeed made too small and said they would replace them. Meanwhile, they LOST the throw pillows for several weeks and had no idea what happened with the order. Then, they NEVER REMADE the cushions. After months of going back and forth with no one knowing anything about the repair, they told us they were going out of business and cut off communication. I sent letters to their manager and CEO and got no response. Now, almost a year later, I come to find that they're still in business. I will be reporting them to consumer protection and the better business bureau.
