For a recent birthday, Karen (the owner) herself delivered two cakes and said, "When it's this important, I always hand-deliver!" The pastries and coffee are also wonderful. You just can't go wrong with anything at Copenhagen Pastry! It's a wonderful business owned by kind people who care about the quality of their cakes and pastries. They're magician bakers and they deserve ten stars! We're so lucky to have them in LA.

I have been wanting to try their princess cake for the longest time. Finally made it to the shop…read morethe other day. It was also the last day for a free sample cake slice. Service was great. Friendly and helpful staffs. We got some pastries to try. We didn't want to get too much since it was our first time. We were scared that the pastries might be too sweet for us. 2 out of 3 that we got were good. The coconut was a bit too sweet for us. The flavor was great tho. We got 2 free slices. I of course, got the princess cake. The other one was the raspberry. I didn't know the other one that they offered was hazelnut. I would have chose the hazelnut over the raspberry hehhe Both were delicious. Really enjoyed the princess cake. The top green part was pretty sweet if eating it by itself. Best to eat it with the cake. Would return when in the area. Thank you for the free cake slices.

We accidentally came across this place while we were out, and I'm so glad we did! The pastries are…read morelike little works of art. The box is also super cute! There are a few tables if you'd like to enjoy your food there, but we decided to get everything to go. The staff told us the pastries could stay out of the refrigerator for up to an hour, so we were worried the cakes might melt on the way home. Thankfully, they stayed in perfect condition. We especially loved the croissants. They were incredibly flavorful and surprisingly large, so I'd recommend getting a few different flavors to share. My favorites were the almond and Parisian croissants. They gave some free macarons at the end!

Background On Shop/Owners: Artelice Patisserie was founded by two brothers Farid and Saeed back in…read more2017 who wanted to share their passion for desserts and pastries. With their unwavering dedication to their customers and their commitment to using the best ingredients on the market, Farid and Saeed have raised the bar for quality seeking foodies in Los Angeles. By constantly challenging themselves to create the most delicious works of art, they have taken their love for the craft to a whole new level (From their website). Background On Visit: I was primarily going to RWT (Pokemon Card Shop) Collective on the second floor of the plaza, Something about the line and a average of 5 stars on their yelp page made me want to patronize the shop. So I did. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: Didn't see a restroom. :) Wait Time: Can be long. Luckily, I didn't wait long when I patronized the shop. Location/Parking: Located in a plaza on the NW corner of Sawtelle Blvd. and W. Olympic. There's a couple of shared 15 minute parking spots in the parking lot, paid parking structure, or meter parking along Olympic, Sawtelle, or surrounding streets. I did find a secret place with free 2 hour parking on the NE corner of Purdue Ave. and Olympic Blvd.. :) Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with a few modern furnishings to sit, eat, and enjoy ones company. Service: Service was great! Tera (staffer) was very nice, attentive, offered great suggestions, and was quite informative about the shop. She also informed me that I was able to get two complimentary macarons. Patisserie Of Choice: 1) Blossom: Consisted of vanilla mousse, pistachio/red berries insert, pistachio crunch, and pistachio sponge. It was too pretty to eat, but I ate it anyways. So good and soo yum! 2) Roche: Consisted of hazelnut mousse, house made praline combined with soft caramel, hazelnut sponge. Taste like a Ferrer Rocher! It's very dense and sweet, but great to eat. Not something I'll have all the time. Macarons Of Choice : I got the Cookies and Cream and pistacio. They were both good. Artelice Patisserie For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back. I'm coming for you almond croissant.

Chef Yang Soon began developing the reimagined classic Helms Bakery twelve years ago but could not have anticipated the huge changes that were to hit the dining landscape with the Covid pandemic. The decline of going out / dining out, changes in spending habits and the rise of delivery services made this Art Deco styled concept bakery financially unsustainable. Helms has a fascinating history. In 1932 their bread, Olympic Bread, was declared the official bread of the Olympic Games. This led to worldwide recognition. Delivery wagons, or coaches, brought bread, doughnuts and other baked goods to Angelenos' homes with their slogan, "Daily at Your Door." Helms was the bread that astronauts in Apollo 11 took to the moon. World Famous. I've sampled many items in my several visits (driving all the way to Culver City from the SF Valley.) *Breakfast burrito, $14 *Prosciutto/Persimmon sandwich, $17 *Coffee Cake, $5 *Cherry Pie slice, $12 *Nutella-stuffed cookie, $7 *Oat & Medjool Date cookie, $4.50 *Corn & Caramel cookie, $5 *Pistachio & chocolate cookie, $7 *Pecan Molasses, $5 On previous visits: *Olive Oil Cake *Corn Cake All of the above were made with high-quality ingredients, and thus sold at a high price point. All well-crafted and extremely delicious in my opinion. I will miss this place tremendously. I sincerely hope that Chef makes good on opening a Helms bakery in another location in the near future. I'll drive across town for that! R.I.P Helms original, 1931 - 1969 Helms reimagined, November 2024 / December 14, 2025

Ricotta & Jam Toast This speaks for itself. Just a yummy combination. Avocado Toast Comes thickly layered with chunky avocado bits and elegantly layered with the almost translucently sliced thin circled radishes that is decorated in a beautiful row on top...delish! There is plenty of seating inside and out. Inside has air conditioning. They also have a great selection on coffee, espresso, lattes, and more. You can't go wrong with whatever you decide to order. A must try!

They also had books and other fat + flour related merch for purchase. I think I'll have to get the recipe book!

My buddy went with a strawberries and cream pie or something like that. $20.00 for 2 slices of pie and a cookie. How was it? Pretty good. I make key lime pie at home sometimes, and this was as good as mine. So $7.00 for a smallish slice of pie is a bit steep. It WAS good, just wish it was a tad better? The cookie was alright. Very thin, and salty. Good chocolate chips...would have preferred it a little thicker and more crisp though. It was a soft cookie. Would I come back? If I was in the Venice area and needed a spot for something sweet, yes. Would I drive here on purpose for some sweets? Probably not.
