On Mother's day my daughter postmated 4 meals from lodge bread in Beverly Hills. Myself and 2 daughters had salads and my husband had a sandwich. My 2 daughters and I all got food poisoning and were throwing up all night. My husband who had the sandwich was fine. I called the establishment and they said they were sorry and would contact corporate and what a good number was to get back to me. No one reached out. Be careful. I would hate for someone else to get sick. read more

There are so many things that make Lodge amazing - great coffee, pastries and breakfast. Along with the ambiance, nice indoor and outdoor seating, and the founding story. They have unique things for purchase if you make it on the days they have them - pizza dough, sourdough starter. Tons of fresh loaf bread racked up and waiting to be taken home. Focaccia and cinnamon rolls the size of your face... come here! read more

I have been going there for year. at first it was great, good food, good portions and fair prices, but little by little the portions became smaller, prices increased tremendously and items from my regular salad started disappearing at first the salad was full of goodies lots of olives, cheese, tuna and nutritional yeast, as time passed by less olives, less cheese and even less leaves today hardly any cheese ( three pieces) NO OLIVES and NO nutritional yeast And hardly any tuna ( the scoop was about half the size of usual). Why even go to a restaurant if I leave hungry and angry at their cheating ? I am done with them! read more

I've driven by this place hundreds of times and whenever I pass by the line is out the door. My pup and I cruised by on Monday, Halloween day. We just received our food and it is 4 o'clock when they close. A lot less busy and I am definitely OK with that. We ordered the veggie pita sandwich and it arrived pretty quickly. I also really appreciated how they got me some water for my pup. Everyone was super nice & patient, as we have never been there before. Not to mention super welcoming. Their pita sandwich is ginormous, but is it worth the $15? Actually $17 + some change in total? Ehhhh... but I guess this is LA in 2022. They let me bring my drink and of course we ate outside. I appreciate how they gave me the top half of the sliced pita bread- no wasting food here! Minus one star because their to-go boxes are suuuuper shitty. I packaged up my food and about 10 feet down the sidewalk, the box dropped and the entire contents of my sandwich fell out. (!!!!!!) I was able to salvage at least 90% but at the same time it was covered with sidewalk cooties. Ugh. I closed the box again and from then on, it refused to close again. It box continues to reopen as I'm sitting here at home. I'm pretty upset about that. I suppose I that's another excuse to go? I'll just have to get there earlier so I don't have to pack up everything in a huge rush. read more

This morning, I was craving something new. I wanted to try a unique place and not like any other generic breakfast/brunch place. That is when I came across Lodge Bread. Super close by, I was surprised I hadn't been here before! I got in my car, parked in the super convenient parking lot (EV parking), and walked into the shop. I immediately noticed the smell of fresh bread and was greeted with smiles and handed a menu. The outdoor area was beautiful and had a good amount of seating, and the indoor area had views of the breadmaking. I ordered the vanilla latte and the shakshuka. Both items were delicious. The vanilla latte was flavorful and perfect for a morning of LA rain. I took my order to-go and enjoyed my shakshuka at home. The flavors of garlic, onion, and tomato were super robust and enjoyable. Dipping their homemade bread in the dish was a perfect combination and hit the spot for exactly what I wanted this morning. I recommend this place to anyone, and I wish I had found it sooner. Everyone inside was super hardworking and pleasant, and the food exceeded expectations. read more

Attention bread lovers, gluten enthusiasts, and lox aficionados alike! If you ever stumble upon a recommendation for Lodge Bread, you might find yourself sandwiched between the craving for carb goodness and the hesitation from customer service tales. I came upon Lodge Bread, a renowned hotspot that had my fellow netizens buzzing. Alas! They were not just about bread, they had a deli. Now, as a proper carb-and-lox lover, I had to indulge. The online experience? A tad crumby, if you ask me. But hey, for good bread, sacrifices can be made! Order Timeline: Promised: 40 minutes Delivered: 2x that! The Bread-y Revelations: Lox Lament: The lox was far from luxe! It looked like it had seen better days, maybe even decades. Now, I like my lox pink and fresh. What I got was something you'd mistake for an old family heirloom. Pickle Puddle: Ah, the pickle juice. How it swayed, swirled, and seeped right into my bread. Nothing like soggy bread to compliment your grizzly lox! Dairy Debacle: Unmentioned buttery flood and dairy-infested trout salad? Oops! Labeling faux pas alert! I guess, breader luck next time for the dairy-free community. Bread Beauty: I have to hand it to them; the unsliced bread was a sight to behold and taste. A saving grace, indeed! Feedback Fiasco: So, I took the liberty to drop some wisdom. Reaching out to the owner with constructive suggestions. After all, it's all about the loaf, not the loathe! The owner was delightful to talk to me but must have been kneading too much dough to remember the promised refund and gift for next order, ever though I never asked. It's been silent ever since Spetember 6th, that fateful day. I guess he has too many happy customers to worry about than me. Final Crust: The bread, divine. The service? Well, let's just say they might want to rise to the occasion next time. All in all, Lodge Bread, here's to hoping you become the toast of the town, in every sense! Rating: Bread: Service: Ambition to try again: Maybe, for the love of loaf! read more

Solid option for fresh bread in this part of town. It's near Kaiser so after my appt. I came in for lunch which consisted of a smoked salmon with cream cheese on a thick slice of Lodge Bread. Good and filling. The Vanilla Latte that came with it was SO HOT, I could not touch the glass -- and had to have it transferred to a paper cup (which revealed it was a very short pour -- only half a cup). For almost 6 bucks I would like a full cup of coffee please. read more

The food here is amazing but the customer service is really lacking. Staff have frequently been rude. And the food is usually mistimed when two people order something different. I always wanna go here bc the food is good but every time I go back the customer service lets me down and reminds me why I should stop trying with this place. read more

COVID-19 takeout experience: We got to Lodge Bread Co around 9:45am on a Saturday morning because my roommate wanted to get one of their giant cinnamon rolls. We ordered at the table in front of the cafe, as no one was allowed inside. Everyone was wearing a mask. The order was ready in 5mins and it was huge! The bread was light and airy and we popped it in the toaster oven when we got home. The whipped "frosting" was more like a citrusy floral whipped cream and it was a nice surprise from normal cinnamon roll glaze. If you're really hungry, I think 2 people could finish it, but would recommend splitting it between 3-4 people for a more reasonable amount. Also it was very affordable and cost around $7! read more

Lodge Bread - Fat Pita Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A friend and I arrived at this location on a Saturday morning. My goodness, the food was bland and the service was terrible . The servers were too busy to answer a question and made assumptions as if you've eaten there before. I ordered the breakfast plate and my friend ordered the pizza. Nothing special. We also ordered their famous cinnamon role, it was dry and didn't come with frosting on the side, apparently I was supposed to have asked for that. Maybe if you order to go it'll be better but, I won't be back read more

Walking into this place it definitely smells like a bakery. The staff is really nice and was very patient while I decided what to order. I came for the cinnamon roll, and was lucky enough to get the last one! The picture does not show the size of this roll. I don't even think it should be considered a roll, more like a loaf! Comes with a tub of cream cheese frosting on the side so you can add as much as you want. This thing is pretty good, and definitely enough to share between a couple people. I was also lucky enough to get the last almond croissant. It was one of the best croissants I have ever had. It was super crispy and flaky. Tons of almond filling and sliced almonds. I wanted to try their almond butter toast, but unfortunately they were sold out. Will definitely be returning. read more

Overall, it was a decent experience.Low key ambiance/ a West LA vibe. The pizza was a little sloppy, but not bad... definitely not special. The pesto turkey sandwich was good/ note worthy. The "everything" cookie and chocolate croissant were good. The cashier wasn't all that welcoming. Not rude, but very nonchalant. read more

Convenient stop if you need a Tesla charge! Few steps from the charging station is this little eatery open for coffee or quick bites. Holding onto the Venice Beach vibe couple miles way from the beach. Order inside. Sit outside on wooden picnic tables. Chocolate croissant promise to encapsulate two chocolate bars, actually did although slim bars. Breakfast sandwich looked nice and mouthwatering but mediocre. Service excellent. read more

The bread and food is absolutely amazing specifically the seeded country loaf, and the breakfast Sammy, with bacon, however, the high-quality of food is offset with extremely rude service. Waited about 30 minutes for my to go order patiently. Asked if I could have an iced coffee refill - no. Then when I went to ask how long it would be, the food was just sitting there like they forgot me even though I had a number and waiting. No apology. Just annoying- a smile and an apology goes a long way. read more

This place is a cute spot for a weekend brunch meet up with a friend or significant other. It's busy, but casual at the same time. Has a great selection of sandwiches, coffee and pizza. I went to lodge bread to grab a post halloween bender recovery meal. The food was excellent and quite quick. I really recommend the bacon at this place. It's pretty high quality and is amazing on the breakfast Sammie. The pastrami melt is amazing. Very savory and comforting. Get it. The tuna salad is nice and it's not too wet. Drip coffee is a standard decent cup read more

One of my customers was so sweet and ordered food for me since I had a busy work day. The pesto sandwich was delish! Pesto can be hit or miss and this one had a good amount of garlic and I'm not complaining. I did also try the Italian and I'm not as big of a fan. The dressing was vinegar forward and overpowered the sandwich. I'll def try other menu items soon. read more

I came back after not being wowed a few years ago. I'm still underwhelmed. I ordered the mushroom pizza. I didn't realize it was made with the same whole wheat dough as their country loaf. While the texture was great, chewy and charred, the flavor is kind of a whole-wheatey, joyless flavor... a chore to eat. I'm sure some people love it but not this guy. Their cinnamon roll looks way to big... so much dough in relation to frosting. I wonder if I would feel the same way about this, since I hate their breads! Alas, $22 down the drain... again. read more

Dear Lord - I knew inflation was a thing but it didn't hit me until I looked at the menu here. If you're charging $16.50 for a breakfast sandwich it better be pretty damn good - unfortunately this one is not. Dry bun, greasy eggs, bland sausage patty. Expected something really great and didn't even finish it because it was so heavy from all the oil and Mayo. Steer clear read more

Lodge Bread - Breakfast sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My sister frequents Lodge Bread often and after sampling that cinnamon roll she shared with us, I could understand why. It's ridiculously great.. Lodge Bread's version reminds me of Van De Camps version but super sized and no raisins. The icing is a bit different though which is light creamy based sweet slab of love. The cinnamon roll is moist, thick, with crevices of cinnamon within the bread. Definitely worth driving for. read more

If you ever find yourself in Venice / Culver City area at 8:00 AM on a Sunday when everyone is seemingly asleep and most business are still closed just follow the enticing aroma of baked goods to Lodge Bread where they will welcome you with open arms and you can eat a breakfast fit for champions and carb lovers alike. We started our morning off early with a Jambon Beurre, a seemingly simple sandwich with just 3 ingredients (bread, French ham, and Dijon mustard), but a sandwich that demands each respective ingredient to be able to stand out on its own. We figured that this sandwich would be the ultimate litmus test for Lodge's bread and the quality of ingredients they were using and it certainly passed. We followed up with the wild mushroom pizza and all I can say is WOW. The crust had great flavor, good chew, and the bottom was crisp. No soggy bottoms here! The variety of mushrooms paired with grated Parmesan packed a punch of umami and was nicely contrasted with the sharp freshness of chives. This is a must get if you're visiting. We also took a loaf of herb and olive bread home and it was a winner as well. A crusty loaf with an incredibly soft and airy crumb. This loaf delivers a pleasant nuttiness accented with a salty zing from olives, lemon zest, and herbs. This loaf honestly doesn't even need butter because of how well the salt, zing, and nutty flavors are balanced. Looking forward to the next time I'm in the area ! read more

I have been here twice, once just to stop in for an iced Vanilla Oat Latte (smalls are very small + thin paper straws), would rate this a 6/10 as it was pricey and nothing special and probably would not re-order. Second time, I came to grab food with some friends and ordered the Shakshuka and the Mint Lemonade, which was really refreshing and good value for $3 in a mason jar. The Shakshuka was good in flavor and portion, the bread was honestly pretty rough exterior and a little difficult for me to chew comfortbaly, something to keep in mind if you have more sensitive teeth like me to tougher textures. I ended up just peeling out the core of the bread and found the ratio of shakshuka to bread to be not enough bread! Maybe should have ordered more or would be great to have the option of different breads instead of the standard they give. I probably wouldn't come back. read more

In love with this place. The best thing to get was the fat pita. I wasn't going to order it but my sister insisted that I did. And it was the best suggestion ever. The pita was so fluffy and the salad had so many layers of flavor. Also enjoyed the pizza. The crust was perfect. Baguette was alright, a bit too hard. Can't wait to go back again. read more

My boyfriend doesn't usually consume a lot of dessert, which was nearly a dealbreaker for a sweets fanatic like me, but he's a sucker for cinnamon rolls. I made a mental note of this and always try to find good ones when we travel. It was quite fortuitous that the arguably best and definitely biggest cinnamon roll in LA was so close to where we were staying in Culver City. I had to secure one for my king. For breakfast one morning, I ordered the famous cinnamon roll, shaksuka, and ricotta toast to be delivered by Uber eats. Lodge Bread certainly didn't disappoint in the bread department. It's exactly what I want in a freshly baked slice- soft center and slightly crunchy crust. Pillowy lightness all around. The shakshuka was super flavorful and the ricotta toast was thiccc and indulgent. It's a pretty heavy meal before even getting to the enormous cinnamon roll. That thing was the size of my head and could easily feed 6 people. I thought for sure that the two of us would barely make a dent in it. Turns out I'd underestimated my bf's appetite for cinnamon rolls. By the end of the work day, he'd somehow finished most of it by himself. Every time I checked, the roll got smaller. I wanted to shame him for it but really I was just jealous. He's lucky he has high metabolism; we are not all so blessed to eat like swine and still look fine. read more

Amazing bread! I would drive here just for the bread. The food was good, but I thought the shakshukah was too sweet. Outdoor seating only - I recommend doing take out if it's chilly outside read more

This is a perfect brunch spot for anyone in the area! Love the portion sizes. I ordered the shakshuka and avocado toast to share with my boyfriend, we were comfortably full after demolishing each dish! This was my first time ever having shakshuka. I immediately fell in love after the first bite, it's that good! One issue I had was the eggs being slightly undercooked -- a portion of the egg whites were still clear underneath the tomato sauce Despite that, it was a good dish and would get it again!! read more

The food is excellent, but the drink preparation could be more sanitary. The staff doesn't wear gloves, which is concerning.

Came in for breakfast and ordered the Shakshuka and the Cinnamon Roll. The shakshuka was okay--a little too on the sweet side for me, and not enough savory to balance it, but the bread that was served with it was very good. Someone else in our group got the Baked Eggs and complained that it was flavorless. The big treat was the cinnamon roll. Big as your head, it wasn't the best cinnamon roll I've had in life, a little drier than I would have liked, but it's very Instagram-able and was fun to eat. I think in the future I'd stick to Lodge for pizza. read more

Came here as recommended by a local. Ordered eggs and pastrami and honestly, the food was very good with the exception of one thing: they charged me for butter. Not a vat or a huge stick of butter, but butter I needed to pat on my toast. For the price, I expected butter to be included. Would probably come here again with my own butter though. read more

Lodge has been one of my go to spots since I've moved over to the west side. I love their bread. It has a nice bounciness to it and tastes amazing served in all sorts of ways - dipped in the shakshuka, spread with nut butter, topped with ricotta and jam, and eaten simply with cinnamon and butter. It's the perfect vehicle. Every time I go I just end up ordering the shakshuka. It's the perfect combination of sweet, savory, and spicy. Bonus is they put CHEESE on top - I have never had a shakshuka with cheese but now I can never go back. I have not yet to try their pizzas or pastries, but plan to soon. read more

Such a mixed bag...I came here for brunch with a friend and I really wanted to love this place. You order at the counter and if you're dining in, wait for your food at your table, or if you're getting take out, wait for them to call your name. There seems to be a long line, but it moves quite fast. While waiting in line, I also grabbed a loaf of bread. Their bread is really delicious! I heard a group of women ahead of me raving about their shakshuka, so I decided to try that. But I got something quite disappointing instead. My shakshuka was missing the tomatoes! Of course, I only realized this after I had received my to-go order. Maybe because it was so busy that they somehow missed it? Is the shashuka supposed to be packaged in 2 separate containers: one for the egg and one with the tomato sauce? Or did they forget to pour the tomato sauce in? Regardless, I ended up eating a sad egg souffle thing that was burnt to the point of being inedible in parts :( read more

I came on someone's recommendation and was blown away by the delicacies I ordered. The outdoor area is comfortably decorated with plants, and around 9:45, was filled with people! The workers move quickly and efficiently here though, so don't worry about the wait. Breakfast Sammie- All the parts came together- arugula, crispy bacon, egg, and mayo- in a light, fresh bread. Monkey Bread- I've never had a hard monkey bread before, so I was very confused to start. After biting into the top crust, I can easily say this is the best monkey bread I have ever had. While it feels hard to touch, the texture is more like a crispy covering, similar to a croissant. The flavor is so light yet decadent, and at the bottom end, the butter and flavors collect for a just-as-good ending! Vanilla Latte- If I could have this everyday, I would. It's a perfect follow up to our monkey bread, so smooth and light! Our total was around $28 and worth every dollar. read more

Highly recommended. Mushroom pizza is fantastic. You gotta have the coffee too! If you brought the whole family --and they're ALL really hungry -- get a Cinnamon Roll. You'll get a clue how big they are when they hand you a humongous cardboard box. Instead of overly sweet icing, it comes with a light, maybe cream cheese type "icing" that you spread on yourself. read more

I've ordered from here twice. The first time I ordered from here we got the BLT and baked eggs. The BLT was pretty good, albeit, a little difficult to eat. The baked eggs were very over cooked and not great. We only took a few bites and decided that was all we needed, it lacked seasoning and the baked exterior wasn't very pleasing. The second time I ordered the pastrami melt and another BLT. The bacon on the BLT this time was very undercooked. Not raw, but extremely chewy, zero crisp. It also lacked much tomato. With 3 main ingredients, not having tomato kind of breaks the sandwich. The pastrami was delicious but extremely difficult to eat. My fault for not paying attention to the fact that it is open faced. I cannot understand why. The open face nature of this is a bit much, the portions and thickness of the crusty bread leave a lot to be desired. The flavors and cheese are there but it's a pain the ass and creating a mess, even with a fork and knife. Dear god please cut the thick bread in half and give it a top. read more

Lodge Bread - Pastrami Melt - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

lodge bread company | culver city, ca | $$ | 4.3/5 one of my favorite bakeries in the west side. i love coming here just to buy their fresh loafs (the seeded loaf is the best) and stop by for brunch. their brunch menu of course features their wonderful bread and pastry items. order at the counter and grab a seat in their indoor and outdoor seating area. shakshuka ($15) | 4/5 it's really hard to make a tomato, egg, and bread thing go wrong. but the spice mix and herb blend for this shakshuka was very tasty. they also give you slabs of their bread which is arguably the best part. the only sad bit was that my egg was just a tad bit overcooked since the hot pan it was served in was so hot. hope i would get my runny yolk moment next time. potato & leek ($19) 4.3/5 two toppings that sound like they dont belong on pizza but works so well. the potatoes are sliced very thinly and cooked lightly that it almost still has a crunch to it as it crisps up. the white cheddar adds to the savoriness that the potato carries well. of course the best part is the pizza dough that is baked too perfection. crispy, light, with no soggy bottoms. pastrami melt 12 inch ($19) | 4/5 a cheesy goodness with a generously amount of pastrami. a hearty choice for brunch. the bread again carried the dish as expected from a bread based brunch shop. overall, an excellent brunch place! their pastries, pizza, and bread are delicious, the service is wonderful, and i love sitting outside on a beautiful day. they also serve coffee which I can't complain! parking is slightly difficult but possible. you can also order online and pick up as wait times can be long. they are efficient with their online ordering system though. read more
