    Cinnamon Swirl Croissant & Chocolate Turnover
    Eric T.

    Le Frenchie Café is a cute little French inspired spot with a nice patio, though be aware it's right on a busy main road, so it's not the most peaceful setting. Service was friendly and attentive, and prices are very reasonable. The pastries were the highlight--super flaky and fresh. They leaned on the sweeter side (a bit too sweet for me), but still really tasty. Pro tip: definitely ask them to warm them up, it makes a big difference. The coffee, unfortunately, was the biggest letdown. It tasted watered down and lacked depth or richness, which is disappointing since good coffee and pastries should go hand in hand. Overall, worth a stop if you're in the area and craving something sweet, but maybe grab your coffee elsewhere.

    Hands down, the most delicious mixed berry muffins ever!!! Plus side, they don't sent my glucose sky high. YAY!!!! Service is wonderful. Always friendly, smiling and happy to answer any questions. Indoor and outdoor door seating. Lots of sunlight. Calm and relaxing music that isn't too loud. Perfect place to catch up w friends or enjoy a good book.

    We hadn't known about this Café until we saw a "Too Good to Go" offer yesterday. I was greeted warmly at pick-up by the woman behind the counter. Even though I was a few minutes early, she readied my bag off savory and sweet goodies -- a Ham & Cheese Croissant (4/5) -- nice, flaky croissant but would like more ham and cheee filling -- Fruit Tarte (Croissant) (4/5), and Blueberry Muffin (3/5) -- needs more blueberries. The Café has a handful of tables indoors and a couple on the sidewalk. It seems to be geared more for take-away. The shop is bright and cheerful. Street parking only -- I found a space two doors away on Washington. Overall, a very good experience. We'll be back.

    my go to pastry stop at the torrance farmers market. all pastries are so delicious and beautiful. great service always.

    They have a regular booth at Playa Vista Farmers market every Saturday. For $17 you get a pretty decent size of quiche with a side of salad with balsamic dressing. They have different flavors of quiches and we picked the chive and goat cheese. A bit light on the chives but you can definitely taste plenty of goat cheese throughout. Pretty yummy when you are hungry!

    To go - chocolate chip muffin, fruit danish and berry danish.

    I found this cafe with "Too Good To Go" offer. It's relatively close from my place and I thought about give it try. In a paper bag, I got a chocolate chip muffin, a fruit (yellow peaches?) danish and a berry danish. Re-heated the danishes at home before I ate. They were decent, not bad. The muffin is the same. Not spectacular, but solid. Next time, I will try to dine in.

    Firstly exposed to Le Frenchie was when I found it on Too Good Too Go app. Then I figured it's super close to my home and ended up paying a visit. The cute cafe came in pretty simple design, interestingly decorated with some wall paintings which they did sell. They offered pretty rich options of brunch menu including pastries, egg-based ones, various quiches, crepes and waffles. It's nice that they even put some displays on the counter so you could visualize the dishes. I wasn't that hungry so went for quiche and croissant. The quiche came in pretty decent size given the affordable price. I was hooked by some of their quiches, but unfortunately the ones left at that time were Lorraine and Tomato, while others were just name tags. Ending up with the first, I found it bit too eggy and tad greasy for my liking. It still tasted pretty good and would say it's nice value for money, but would prefer it to be more on cheesy side. I also went for their Chocolate Almond Croissant and it's nice that they could reheat it for me. The pastry base was kinda dry and not as flaky as I expected. The almond paste and chocolate filling weren't much and nothing special to call out. As the canele was called out as one of the favorites, I did get it for to-go and reheated it myself at home. It tasted decent though I wouldn't call it best one in town. Would fancy bolder vanilla hint and more buttery aroma. Probably next I should go for the scrambled eggs or french toast which seemed to be their more popular ones.

    French toast (this picture does it no justice)

    $19.83 (Food: french toast - french croissant served with triple berry, whipped cream and syrup. Drink: water) Le Frenchie Cafe monologue: France came to Culver City, CA and I am so happy! The weather was perfect this past Friday morning. Sunny. About 60 ish. Light breeze from the east (well, not really sure but that just sounds good).  Immediately, when I arrived, the atmosphere invited me to sit and enjoy a meal or sip on some coffee, or tea, and take the moment in. I went inside and was excited about all of the delectable options. I asked the young lady at the counter about the toast...it was french. She directed me to the display case. The presentation activated my it's time to eat neurons and her explanation sent me over the moon. Yelp cousins, let me tell you something. This french toast was beyond amazing. The first bite made me think about all that is wonderful in this world. The second bite on thru the cleaning of any and every morsel of my plate put me in a world of gratitude. No syrup needed! As people arrived, I watched as Jamel made everyone comfy. Opening table umbrellas, putting tables together,  bringing over chairs; his actions put you in a position of wanting to come back and spread your experience...I'll be back and I'm telling/asking ya'll to go experience it too! Oh p.s. - I'm a tad confused. Several internet pages call this restaurant Laurent's "Le" Coffee Shop but Yelp has it titled Le Frenchie Cafe (which took a while for me to realize so I could leave this review). Could you shed some light on this?

    Unfortunately I was left with more to crave with this small breakfast place. Very cute on the outside and in a fairly quiet space. They have a few chairs and tables in the front and about three inside. They offer fresh pastries to grab and go. I dined in with my friend as she is local and is all about supporting small businesses. Let me tell you, no amount of sugar could fix the coffee I ordered. We both ordered an iced vanilla latte, one with whole milk and one with oat. Upon the first sip we both locked eyes and agreed we needed some type of sweetener as it was very bitter. We were both displeased to realize the sugar we added was not saving the coffee we desired. The food was decent, I realize there are no updates photos of the menu. They offer lunch sandwiches now which are decent. My friend ordered their pesto sandwich which is vegetarian and I just has cheese and tomatoes in between two bread slices coated in pesto. She only took about four bites if that speaks on how it tastes. I ordered the chicken sandwich on the menu which is described as chicken, mayo and mixed greens. Let me tell you, I am unfortunately one of those people who hate avocado. When I received my sandwich which was accompanied by fruit I was flabbergasted to see there was avocado and tomatoes in my sandwich as well, I immediately picked them off and would've appreciated them listed on the menu as I would've probably saved them time and produce if I would've known in advance. I also would have asked for a freshly made sandwich but I was starving and they took about 23 min to make two sandwiches (we were the only active table sitting there), I didn't feel like waiting any longer. Overall it didn't really seem like a place I'd voluntarily go back to.

    I've visited Café Dulce in Little Tokyo before, and I usually enjoy stopping in, especially when…read moreI'm in the area with my two kids. The drinks and pastries have always made it an easy place for us to grab a treat, so I'm not writing this based on one random first impression. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing enough that I felt I needed to say something. When we came in, the trash cans were overflowing, and the floor looked like it had not been cleaned in quite some time. I understand that cafés can get very busy, especially in Little Tokyo, and I never expect a place to look perfect every second of the day. However, the dining area felt noticeably neglected. With two children, cleanliness is something I pay closer attention to, and it was uncomfortable trying to find a clean area for us to stand and sit. The overall atmosphere also felt disorganized. We waited at the register for help, but it took a while before anyone acknowledged us. A simple "I'll be right with you" would have made a big difference. I have had better experiences here in the past, which is why this visit stood out so much. I'm hoping this was simply a bad day, because Café Dulce has always been a place I was happy to visit with my family. I'm sharing this because I would genuinely like to see the cleanliness and customer service return to the standard I remember. Private Feedback for Management I did not feel comfortable putting the full details of this experience in a public review, but I believe management needs to be aware of what happened. While I was standing at the register waiting to order, the male employee working there was engaged in a conversation with another person and appeared to be openly gloating about drinking while on the job. Based on what I heard and observed, he also appeared to be impaired or intoxicated. He continued the conversation while ignoring me, even though I was standing directly in front of the register waiting to place an order. The tone of the conversation was not subtle or professional. It created a much darker and more uncomfortable atmosphere than what I would ever expect from a family-friendly café. I was there with my two children, and hearing someone behind the register casually talking about drinking while working was deeply concerning. Someone who appears intoxicated while operating a register and handling customers' money creates a terrible narrative for the business. It raises concerns about judgment, accuracy with transactions, food-service safety, and the overall professionalism of the workplace. Even if the employee was exaggerating or joking, it was still completely inappropriate to have that conversation openly in front of customers. What bothered me most was not only the conversation, but the fact that I was being ignored while it continued. I was waiting to spend money at the business, yet the employee seemed more interested in talking about drinking than acknowledging a customer. As a mother standing there with two children, the situation felt uncomfortable, disrespectful, and honestly a little disturbing. This is not my first time visiting Café Dulce, and I have never felt compelled to complain before. I understand that employees are human and that businesses have difficult days. However, the combination of overflowing trash cans, a dirty floor, being ignored at the register, and an employee appearing impaired while discussing drinking on the job crossed a line for me. I am sharing this privately because I believe management should have the opportunity to address it directly. I hope the situation is taken seriously, not only for the reputation of the café, but for the safety and comfort of the customers and employees.

Here's a helpful tip: The bank next door allows 10 minutes of parking if you use their ATM and keep your receipt. There is security in the lot, so be sure to have your receipt as proof of the time. It's more than enough time to run next door and grab your treats. I ordered a slice of the lemon loaf, a gluten-free cookie, and the classic chocolate chip cookie. The lemon loaf slice is huge, I'd say it's the equivalent of two slices, so it's definitely big enough to share. As for the cookies, Levain is known for making them thick and rich. A small piece goes a long way, making them perfect for savoring over a couple of days (if you have that much self-control!). The moment you walk inside, you're greeted by the incredible aroma of freshly baked pastries, and the service was warm and welcoming.

They perfectly warmed both body and soul on a chilly LA morning. If I lived nearby, I'd eat these every day! We also tried the yuzu cream pan, which was also pretty epic. The topping was a little crunchy, complementing the soft bread and creamy and smooth tart filling. This is definitely my new favorite Japanese bakery in the US! I just wish I lived a little closer to it.

    I stopped by for a quick coffee and ended up spending way too much time deciding what to order…read morebecause the pastry selection looked so good. There were so many options, and everything in the display case looked fresh and tempting. The pastries I tried were really delicious -- soft, flavorful, and not overly sweet. It felt like the kind of bakery where people actually care about quality instead of just making things look pretty. The vibe inside was cozy and relaxed, which made it easy to slow down for a bit and enjoy everything. It's definitely the kind of place I'd come back to whenever I want good pastries and coffee without going somewhere overly trendy or complicated.

    This Korean-style bakery has a great variety of breads and traditional pastries, like red bean…read morebread and rice sulgi. They're also very on-trend, whenever a Korean dessert goes viral, they usually have it here. Recently, they even started selling butter tteok, and I heard it was one of the first places to have it in K-town. I highly recommend the salted bread. 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. There is free parking, though the lot is a bit small. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the seating area is somewhat limited too

    I used to stop by this bakery whenever I was in Ktown because I thought it was pretty solid. But…read moreafter today, I've definitely changed my mind. I got a sausage bbang, a chocopie, and a dalgona latte. The sausage bbang was soggy on the bottom and honestly tasted like it was from the day before. The chocopie barely had any filling, just a thin layer of marshmallow and jam. It honestly felt like they used most of the marshmallow for their Dubai choco cookie because it's probably more profitable, instead of properly filling the chocopie. If that's the case, it's better not to sell it at all than serve something like that. The dalgona latte was also disappointing. With ice, the drink only filled to the bottom third line of the cup marking. Clearly, they skimped on the milk. There was also a weird moment when I paid. My total was $15.25 and I paid cash, but I was given $4.75 in change. When I said it should be $5, she seemed confused and asked what I meant. I told her I literally gave you a quarter right now, and she questioned it before eventually giving me the correct change. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake. I understand times are hard, but charging more for products that clearly had corners cut doesn't sit right with me. It just comes across like there's no integrity. Clearly the quality and portions are going downhill. I wasn't even planning on writing this review. I was going to stay quiet, but the chocopie really ticked me off. I'm not going to pay for food that skims on ingredients and shortchanges customers by charging more for less, so this will be my last visit.

And I know that vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting is pretty easy to make, but sometimes I'd rather just buy baked goods than make them for myself, especially when I'm driving past what I thought was a popular (and presumably good) bake shop. I expected a high-quality cupcake. The cupcakes looked cute, but they were as dry as the Sahara. They should have been labeled as white cupcakes as I didn't detect any vanilla in them. I suspect that the "buttercream" was made with milk and margarine and powdered sugar.....so much powdered sugar. It was sickeningly sweet, and it was dry too. And a true bettercream doesn't even use powdered sugar. So not only were the cupcakes terrible, they were not even what they purported to be. This is like calling a cut of meat a filet mignon and serving a hamburger. Von's, Ralphs and Albertson's make better cupcakes than this for a fraction of othe price.
