This place is truly a jewel in the crown of East Hollywood. Drove past it for years without ever stepping inside, what a loss! I am absolutely obsessed with the pastries and entire menu. Flavors of rose and honey mix with pistachio, cream, and cardamom, and insane delight for the pallet. And don't get me started on the lunch menu, the Lebanese burger is something to shout about from the mountaintop! I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to indulge in these incredible treats, without ever leaving the comfort of my beloved neighborhood. Although I would honestly suggest making the trek from any part of town to pick up some boxes of Turkish delight, baklava, or lunch. And for ANY special occasion, THIS is the place to go for cakes and catering if you want to wow and please your guests. Long live Le Goût! read more

I LOVE their Aish al Saraya and Halawet Jebneh! If you've never had them before, I highly recommend trying both. Pistachios with creamy soaked bread and cold cream all topped with rose water syrup! give me anything with rose water and I love it. As someone who grew up eating these desserts, it makes me so happy to find a place that does them right. There's a real sense of care and authenticity in every bite. The staff can get a little overwhelmed if it gets busy, maybe due to a small team working both the front and kitchen, but it's never been a major issue for me. There's plenty of seating inside if you want to stay, but I usually pick up my order and enjoy it at the park nearby. If you're a fan of Middle Eastern desserts or just want to try something new and delicious, Le Goût is a great. read more

Le Gout - aish al saraya - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Adding to my review from years ago, still my favorite bakery of all time. We ordered a pistachio cake with white fondant on top for my baby shower and it was a crowd favorite! I don't even like cake and I ate a slice of it, the inside was so delicious like ashta and had a very authentic pistachio flavor. I wouldn't have gotten this myself because it's usually something I don't go for but I'm glad I tried it, highly recommend getting a custom cake from here and trying the pistachio. read more

Le Gout - Custom pistachio cake so good (it got beat up during the photoshoot lol) - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I gotta say the egg sandwich here was the best I have had in a long time. Big, heavy, sturdy, some sort of nice sauce they added to it that gave it a nice zest. Chocolate croissant was great; beautifully golden on the outside and the chocolate inside was sweet and balanced. Ironically the coffee was just whatever; little bland but hey when in Hollywood I prob shoulda gotten a late or something. I'd say this is a great place to stop and eat and hang out if you need to kill an hour or so. read more

Le Gout is a solid bakery for which I have become a happy, repeat customer over the years. While a pastry shop with Armenian roots, Le Gout is as classic a patisserie as you can get, with a wide assortment of cakes in their entirety or by the slice, treats, and a dazzling array of cookies, about one third with a middle eastern vibe. I have ordered trays of their butter cookies ($13/lb, ~$0.65 per cookie) to several parties, and recently bought their larger red velvet cake (8" across, about 6" high, $30, served about 16). The cookies are delicious, rich, and come in a variety of flavors - a popular frosted and sprinkled butter in the shape of a pineapple, several disc and flower shaped with jam at the center, and several dipped sandwiches. Their red velvet cake was a true show-stopper at our recent party, with a rich, moist interior cut by buttery cream cheese frosting. The service is excellent; I always welcome recommendations and suggestions, and the associate who has helped me the last two visits has been consistently helpful, recommending cookies popular with children, and presenting a slightly smaller version of the cake I wanted in the back. The interior is clean and respectable. Where LeGout shines is value; while the cookies and cakes are great, their price is excellent, especially for the overpriced Hollywood area. To this end Le Gout is an especially appealing choice for anyone seeking catering or serving a party where a larger purchase is warranted. Truly, Le Gout is the taste of the town!

Lovely local family-owned Lebanese bakery with seriously amazing cakes and pastries. There are also butter cookies and baklava if that is more your style. "Gout" means "taste" in French, not to be confused with the health condition associated with rich diets, but the offerings here are so delicious you may want to get checked for gout also just to be safe! read more

Ordered a few different things and all nice presentation but honestly some of the worst bakery items I've ever had.... Like Ralph's cake taste better. These taste old and bland and the vanilla cake slice was actually completely frozen. Eclair tasted like cardboard and custard was cold, clumpy and tasted of nothing. Actually very very disappointing. Like items are almost inedible Chocolate cake tasted bland and was somehow chewy and had a grainy texture like a bad protein powder would read more

They're rude. Quality of sandwiches is not so great. If you want a cookie I guess they are ok, but will not be going back.

I was happy to find a place that has some hard to find Arabic deserts that you have to go to Anaheim for! I got shabiyat (Warbat), zatar, knafeh, mamoul, sarkis halva. They also had ice cream ashta and even aish al Saraya which I was surprised about! I didn't ask her name but an employee from Colombia who was very informative helped me. Good selection of baked goods. Cute storefront. Street parking. read more

I love this store, but today I was very disappointed when I ordered the Kenafeh. The crust was off the cheeses pretty much and when I asked the worker she went inside and added crumbs from they tray to the top. I was so embarrassed to offer to my visitors. I think the owner should be around more often to teach their workers how to serve. I promised I will go back and show the owner. read more

Good portion sandwiches and a great variety of breakfast and pastry options . Nice and cool inside on a super hot day!

Le Gout catered my engagement party and we were absolutely thrilled with their service and quality start to finish. First, the entire team arrived on time and began setting things up for our large event. They had also come a few days earlier to assess the placement and make sure everything will be arranged perfectly. As they set up they cleaned as they went and kept our home spotless. The food was placed out just in time for our guests to arrive while keeping everything hot. The serving trays they had everything in truly kept the food hot, fresh, and crispy as guests were served throughout the night. The food was absolutely delicious and we got lots of compliments on both the taste and presentation. Along with the traditional Mediterranean meal we also got knafe, coffee, and cake, which was all a huge hit. There was so much extra food at the end of the night and we worried about what the cleanup would look like, but Le Gout and their professional staff didn't leave us any work- they packed up the extra food into containers, put it all away properly, and disappeared like they were never there. Having Le Gout cater was such a fantastic decision- we got to just enjoy the party and not worry about setup, cooking, or cleaning up. The food was fantastic, service was five stars, and the entire experience was wonderful. I'd recommend to everyone I know! read more

An OG Armenian bakery in the Los Feliz area. They got so many pastries, cookies, and cakes on display in their store. All of them looked delicious. We selected a few cookies to try and our favorites were the shortbread shell-looking ones with jam filling. Super buttery and nice. The fried churros were also amazingly crispy even after being droused in syrup. They also do sandwiches so a great spot to grab a quick bite before some treats as well! read more

I can honestly say that the pastrami sandwiches I ( I bought three to take to my son who was recovering from a surgery at Kaiser) purchased today was the worst I have ever had. The pastrami slices were tough and included three slices on white bread and very little mayo and mustard. I did not finish the sandwich- nor did my son. The pastry looked great and the menu included many options. I may have picked the wrong one. read more

Owner, please take a note: Yesterday I went to pick up a cake that I ordered. The bakery was empty. I came in at the same time then a white older man, Gina asked more than 3 times who came first. The gentleman was looking around for pastries not even ready to order. I kept telling Gina that I was only there to pick up a cake. I expressed to her that I was in a rush because there was no parking available. Gina took forever to help me, getting the cake first, gettin the box next, getting tape next. When I please ask her to hurry that I was afraid that I was going to get a parking ticket because I parked in red, she kept taking her time and became slower. When I told her about needing a cake candle number 1, she started arguing and then went inside waiting for me to leave the bakery. The other lady was helping the other gentleman. Gina acted like a little kid arguing with me that she did not have to hurry up for any client. OWNER: GINA IS THE KIND OF EMPLOYEE THAT WILL RUN AWAY YOUR CUSTOMERS.....PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO HER CHILDISH BEHAVIOR. I AM ONLY WRITING THIS BECAUSE AS AN OWNER OF A BUSINESS I LIKE TO BE TOLD WHEN EMPLOYEES ARE PERFOMING A TERRIBLE JOB WITH MY CUSTOMERS AND RUNNING THEN AWAY. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOUR TERAMISU CAKE WAS DELICIOUS BUT GINA YOUR EMPLOYEE SOOOOOOO TERRIBLE. THE OTHER LADY WAS NICE. read more

The Knefe is legit!!! Highly recommend. Lebanese grand parent approved for authenticity.

Bakery is on point! So delicious! Bringing old world Pastry and cookies to a new level of perfection. The name 'Le Gout' means the taste-and the taste is well balanced with delicate flavors and texture. I love Italian cookies and cornettos, these Armenian cookies and croissants are fantastic! The coffee is so rich and balanced-not bitter. I don't need cream or sugar, black is perfect. Clean place, wide variety, FRESH!!! Friendly staff. I'm a fitness expert and I break my diet to enjoy these flavors! Soooo worth it! My dog loves it too! read more

We ordered cake based on the good reviews. We tried the chocolate mouse cake, coconut cake and a white cake with filling. I was so excited because the box looked so nice. The cake slices were perfect. Then we tasted them. Two had no flavor and that's three people trying it. The coconut cake was okay but it was wet. I have never been so disappointed in a box of cake. The texture was hard and the cake wasn't sweet and had to chocolate taste. I wouldn't order again. read more

I'm going to say straight up as an accomplished, food writer and someone who had a radio show on food on the FM dial in San Diego. I cannot recommend this place enough it's a great value with fantastic desserts once again with unbeatable prices.. I had a fresh made crêpe with Nutella, banana and strawberry with a caramel latte it was perfect it hit the spot on a winters day. My friend had a raspberry mousse cake with a coffee, it was absolutely delicious. My mother being from London England loves Turkish delight and nugget candies they happen to sell a beautiful box assortment of candies which we are taking home for $30 The owner is from Lebanon and the woman waiting on us from behind the counter is from Armenia and had fantastic customer service extremely friendly. It's a cute chic place in the heart of Hollywood. read more

A friend of mine gave me this wonderful pita-like bread that's shaped with a handle and sprinkled with sesame seeds. I absolutely loved and wanted to buy more for myself - she told me she bought it here. So I went looking for it, the bakery is in a more barren part of Hollywood Blvd near Vermont, on the north side. Parking is on the street - so depending on the time of day, it isn't easy. It's really a bit inconvenient. When I finally got to go, they did not have the bread I wanted, what a disappointment. They have a lot of different pastries, so I thought since I went out of the way to get here, I'd try a thing or two. But the lady in the counter was not very helpful in suggesting anything. I picked a couple of things that looked familiar- it's basically an Armenian bakery - but have no idea what anything is called or what they're made of and again, the lady was no help. What I did get, I enjoyed. But if you don't live in the vicinity (which I don't), it isn't really worth the trip. Sorry..... if they had better customer service, then maybe I'd try again, but they don't. read more

This was my first time here and I'm super impressed! From the outside of the building to the clean and bright inside, it was a treat coming here. I got an assortment of pastries and desserts and I wasn't disappointed with any of my choices. I couldn't tell you the names of the desserts I took home except for the baklava but picking them out just based on how delicious they looked was definitely exciting and fun. I love trying new things, especially other culture's food and Le Gout doesn't disappoint when it comes to their desserts. I'll have to come back for the food, it all looked very good. Service was friendly and I didn't feel rushed when making my decisions. read more
