Came here and ordered coffee, a mocha, and caneles. Everything was delicious! Will definitely come again. Especially for caneles. Crunchy outside, soft inside. super delicious read more

I've been in search for croissants that reminds me of Paris. I know this is a difficult task. This place is recommended by my French friend, so it has to be good right? This place is amazing! I love the chocolate croissant, but the almond is my favorite. It's made from real almonds, and not that almond extract that I loath. I would have a croissant everyday if I could. read more

It's as delicious as everyone says it is!! Get there early for croissants because they sell out fast. I love stopping by this place after hitting up the Atwater farmer's market and getting myself a tart or an almond croissant. read more

This place deserves no less than 5 stars. If you close your eyes while you eat here you would think your in Paris. Everything coming from this kitchen is so on point. Best Bakery in LA hands down. Btw - we ordered the following: Ham & cheese croissant chocolate croissant vegetable quiche chocolate chip cookie read more

This place is awesome. The veggie quiche and all of their croissants are so delicious!!! The quiche is very light and tasty, and the crust is flaky. Their coffees (such as the lattes and pour overs) are also really good. I highly recommend this place!! I just wish they don't close so early. read more

Pastries are consistently super good. My fave: flourless chocolate cake. It's divine.

Tried the chocolate croissant, the financier, a fig tart, the drip coffee, an espresso, and a cortado, all in the last few days. In from out of town on business. Following my first visit, have gone back at least once a day. Service is fine, but they could be any which way and I'd still be back for the goods. read more

Nice hidden gem, this place is usually busy, has nice pastries and a great atmosphere. Worth a try if you venture into the area. read more

Fantastic baked goods, horrible coffee, thin and just bad. But EXCELLENT BAKED GOODS.

Today bough cup of coffee, soy cappuccino , I was so surprise when I got very small cup! For 4.50$!!! Nobody ask the size so usually it's normal cup for this price but this one! I was very very sad! Never bought coffee there again read more

One of best croissants I've had. Galette, quiche, morning bun and chocolate chip cookies are a few of my favs. A bit pricey though!!!

The place is nice. Really good cappuccino which is hard to come by. Had the ham and cheese croissant. Pretty tasty. On a hot day this place was nice and cool inside too. Plus they had a mellow soundtrack; really did put you at ease. read more

SO. GOOD. (If it had blue bottle coffee, it would be the best cafe in the WORLD). The scones are perfect, the pan au chocolat is stuntastic, everything there deserves to be worshipped. I had a Four Bottle Kenyan drip. If it had alcohol in it, I would probably marry it. One of the best coffees I've ever had. Smooth, a bit of citrus. Everything you could ask for. The staff is attentive and always welcomes you with a smile! So what are you waiting for? Just go. Now. It might be closed depending on when you read this, but you'll be early for tomorrow. Just go. Run. And happy nomming! read more

superb bakery. I defy you to find any better. Coffee, perfectly done, by fanatics. GET SOME!!

Perfect croissants. Perfect sandwiches. Proof is not afraid to use salt which is wonderful for my taste buds. Every sandwich, the arugula, the tortilla, the beet, etc. have been flavored right and are so delicious. If the owner wanted to throw in a side salad or small coffee for the 7dollars, I wouldn't complain, but other than that I don't have one, except I wish it was open on Monday. read more

Great Coffee and Snacks. I stop here on my way to work and I am always pleased. Food and service is always consistent. I just wish they were open every day. read more

Wow!! The breads/croissaints at this bakery were incredible. The best i've had outside of France. So light and flaky - hard to limit myself. I had the ham & cheese and loved it. Bought the chocolate one for hubby. Due to the great reviews on the sandwiches, I decided to get the beet & goat cheese. OMG!! The bread was so crunchy on the outside & not doughy at all. I usually dont get sandwiches as I dont like all that bread. I also had their chocolate chip cookie. Also to die for :)) The coffee sucked big time. I got an iced Americano & it tasted like water even though I had them limit the amt of water that was put into it. So, normally I would have given this place 5 stars as the food was so good but the bad coffee & prices were really out the roof for what you got. read more

The Chocolate cake with cherry filling (very light filling) just making the cake moist really. One of the better chocolate cakes I've even had. It was a birthday surprise and I'm eating the left-overs today and not feeling a whit guilty! How often do u run into a cake that is this good?? read more

Love this bakery! Probably not good for me that it is across from yoga because I just stuff my face after class. The layout is so refreshing and it boasts zero attitude. Don't make me fight you for the last vegan tea cake! read more

Went there after watching an Eye on LA episode, almost spent my whole paycheck, we spent over $30 for 2 almond croissants, 2 ham & cheese croissants, a macchiato and an oj. The almond croissant was small, good but a bit overdone in my opinion. I could've went to Porto's and spent less and got more for my hard-earned money. They had a Thanksgiving menu, they are offering a $40 pumpkin pie, $40!!!, a pumpkin pie cannot be worth that much money. I'm not a fan, you won't see me back here, sorry! read more

Whenever I need to stop in at the Racket Doctor in Atwater, I time my trip so that I can be at Proof Bakery just before noon. This gives me an outside chance to still get a few of the bakery's pains au chocolat, while at the same time snagging whatever just-made sandwiches are beginning to be passed through the kitchen door. One of the best pains au chocolat I've run across in Los Angeles was at the short-lived Bite Bar & Bakery in Santa Monica. There have been a number of disappointing pains au chocolat since then, but depending on what part of town I'm in, a pain au chocolat from Proof Bakery or Maison Giraud can almost fill the void. At Proof Bakery, you find light and flaky layers of perfection that give way to that bit of rich chocolate satisfaction in the middle. Not quite the pain au chocolat that lives on in my memory, but close enough to let the memory go long enough to enjoy what still deliciously exists in the present. Just like the pains au chocolat, the sandwiches at Proof Bakery also provide the possibility of a perfect bite. The crunch and chew of the bread and the bright and fresh flavors of the fillings are always a yummy, mouth-pleasing combination. Scones, tarts, cakes and other goodies are just OK. I haven't been tempted to give repeat tries, so don't want to make any firm judgements....so probably best to say that they're just not to my particular liking. In the end, it really doesn't matter because the pains au chocolate and sandwiches that always fill my bag leave little room for anything else. read more

Came here for first time yesterday at 8 a.m. opening time. 10 people gathered outside waiting! Bought almond croissant & currant scone, plus small coffee for total of $10 - pricey. But baked goods were the best. Service very attentive & courteous. read more

If you blink, you will miss this Atwater Village hole in the wall...so don't blink because the coffee and sweets are so damn good. Almond croissant is divine. Quiche is too. Iced Americano will wake your game up. Plus, staff is friendly and service is great. read more

For me everything is ridiculously priced. A small & thin chocolate chip cookie for $2.50 each? Small sandwiches for $7.00 each? Iced coffee so bitter for 3.50 each. I will definitely not coming back. This place is over rated. Sorry read more

Proof==6 stars for taste alone, 2 stars for your ham and cheese croissants and how they make my jeans fit...averaging to 4 stars!

Yum yum yum. Too many choices! So. Naturally. I had to pick two -financier and gougeres and both were truly scrumptious.

I'm SO lucky I get to work a block away from Proof. One of my favorite bakeries ever! Their croissants are easily some of the best I've ever had. They used to have these cheese rolls that were also amazing but I think they stopped serving them (please bring them back!). The croque monsieur, coconut macaroons, and freshly squeezed OJ are also some of my favorites. I'm not a huge fan of their sandwiches, but I've loved everything else I've tried so far. They usually have a line out the door on Saturday mornings but it moves pretty quick. Seating is also limited so come early. read more

Love this place! Simple and so wonderful. All their pastries are freshly made and baked to perfection. Their workers are extremely friendly and always make sure the bakery is kept clean. read more

Best chocolate espresso cake. That has been the only thing I've tried. I do recommend the cake it is delicious.

I've been wanting to try this bakery for quite a while but every time I passed by there was no parking . I happen to be driving by on a Saturday morning, right before 8am and there was plenty of parking. As soon as it hit 8, a short line began to form. First impression I got was great customer service! They move the line quite fast and the lady assisting me was all smiles. The place is small but not tiny. There are a few tables inside and a couple outside, although most people were taking their orders to go. I tried the chocolate croissant, carrot nut bread and latte. All were delicious!! I also noticed some low waste implementations, such as metal spoons instead of disposable stirrers and I noticed a customer that brought her stainless steel cup for coffee. I always get nervous doing that with long lines for fear of them saying no. But no questions asked they quickly filled the cup, I will defiantly be back as I also want to try the sandwiches which they don't serve until noon. read more

I came in for the espresso chocolate cake and left with an almond croissant and iced green tea. Everything was delicious. The almond croissant was amazing. I cant wait to try more of their baked goods! I'm from the Palm Springs area and will definitely make the trip out here again! read more

I love this bakery/coffee shop...insanely yummy baked goods. Pour-over coffee is always delicious, and the man behind the counter is a coffee expert. It was such a treat to go here...it's definitely not a run-of-the-mill place! read more

Hands down the best bakery/ coffee spot in LA...I am so happy that I live near this place because I plan to single handedly keep them in business, in turn I may become big as a house because their baked goods are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Sooooooo Goooooood!!!! A friend of mine ordered a cake for his birthday from Proof and it was the most beautiful and tasty cake I have ever eaten!!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I love this place!!! read more

Another great place to visit. Great coffee and awesome baked goods that will just add to overall experience. I'm was quite amazed with it the first time I visited. Going back ever since, but not as often as I'd like too. read more

Wow!!! Amazing coffee and food. Affordable, great people, awesome area, pets are allowed outside. It's just awesome! I ran into a few celebrities there, this makes it even more exciting for me. Btw celebs don't get special treatment lol they wait like everyone else. I go every Saturday with my fiancée and we have a great time meeting new people and walking around the various shops. read more

I actually prefer Kaldi for my iced coffee and espresso but they do have a delicious latte and the food is awesome.. sammies, quiche, cookies, their palate is always right up my alley!!!! Love it!! read more

Dear Children, I feel like I've been to Paris, but without losing my baggage or smelling that distinct "french smell". Nestled in the slightly slanty streets of Atwater Village is a little Parisian Palace. And I only go there if I'm being a bad bad very bad girl! So leave your diet at home, honey and just LIVE it UP! Their sandwiches are to die, they really are-- the fleur de sal on top just makes me salivate and frankly you could put a cat in there and I'd lick. it. up. Because those damn sandwiches are THAT delicious. Other things to adore: the galette with nectarines (or is it peaches), the croque monsieur, even the chocolate chip cookie makes me squirm. And wash it all down with their iced coffee, black, and proud, babies. xoxox Brandonna read more

Can't say much about the inside. Minimal black walls with metal furnishings. Cramped. Street parking. But the baked goods are amazing. Got the Chocolate Caramel Tart today. Chocolate wasn't too sweet and underneath was gooey caramel which went nicely with the bit of sea salt sprinkled on top. read more

everything here is amazing in my opinion - the ham and cheese croissants changed my world, the cookies, the coffee, the quiche, the people - i've never had anything I didn't just love from here. My only wish is that they would open at 7am instead of 8am!! Some day maybe. I moved to Monrovia and I'm constantly late to my job on the westside because I can't get my fix from this place before 8am. Love this place. read more

Dear Lord, this bakery is good. From the painstaking beauty of the crema art work on the mellow lattes to the Madeleines and French inspired pastries and the apricot-filled birthday cake that almost put the kid into a sugar coma, Proof is a worthwhile experience. It makes me miss Atwater Village a little. read more
