Bottega Louie in DTLA was an absolute dream…read more Housed inside the historic Brockman Building, the space is soaring, beautiful, and buzzing with incredible energy, but the food and top-tier service truly make the experience. From the moment I walked in, every member of the staff was so kind, welcoming, and attentive. I visited during Restaurant Week and had an incredible meal starting with the black truffle arancini, followed by the carbonara (bucatini pasta, pancetta, peas, Grana Padano - perfection), and finishing with the opera cake which I really love and had not had in a really long time (it was rich and delicious). Every bite was phenomenal. I also couldn't resist ordering the squash blossoms off the menu (cooked tempura style), and they did not disappoint. On top of the restaurant experience, their famous cafe and bakery counter is packed with the most gorgeous pastries and sweets. The entire place is a vibe, and I already can't wait to go back!

Still disappointed. However, I will say that to go croc. Madame was much better and they put some…read morethought into it. Also, had the apple turnover which was enough to make me increased to start reading from one to me. I still think it was for customer service not address the undercooked for sandwich and then making us wait for such a long time to bring us the new dish. We ended up having to go to the event hungry. However, when we got back to the hotel, we were able to re-cook the sandwich and it turned out fine. I would still give this restaurant chance, especially since their baguettes and pastries are delicious. Disappointing. Sadly not what it used to be. Bottega Louis WAS our favorite go to restaurant when we visit LA. Unfortunately it has gone downhill. We came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We ordered the Louis Salad with blue crab and Croque Madame. While the salad was as delicious as I remembered, the Croque Madame was completely undercooked and the bread was soggy. We returned the sandwich as asked them to grill it longer. It took so long to recook that we had to leave and they gave it to us in a togo box without even an apology. Even the bread that they serve with the meal has gone downhill. We ended up buying a baguette. At least the baguettes are still decent. But overall a disappointing lunch.

It is located in the same business building as H Mart and is right across from the supermarket's check out area.

I ended up grabbing some custard bread and some salt breads. Everything tasted fresh, moist, cream was good, and not too sweet. I just love that they have a huge variety of everything and want to come back and try their berry cakes. Their matchas also looked good but I was just so full at the time.

It was creamy, had a good strong matcha flavor, and the salt added a nice touch! The drink was comparable to other popular matcha spots, and I'd definitely get it again. The tiramisu I got was also delicious - light, creamy, and not too sweet. The workers were helpful when I had called about the cake, although unfortunately their cake decorator had left for the day already so I wasn't able to get writing on my cake. They did provide complimentary candles which was nice. The bakery is inside of a shopping mall, but there are seats inside. I didn't stay to enjoy my drink, but you definitely have the option to. Would definitely come back again for both their drinks and the cake!

Everything smelled fresh the moment I walked in, which already felt promising. The pastries themselves were really delicious -- flaky, soft, and full of flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet. They tasted fresh and homemade instead of mass-produced, which made a big difference. I also liked the cozy atmosphere inside. It's the kind of bakery where you can grab coffee, sit for a bit, and actually enjoy the experience instead of just rushing out with your order. Definitely a place I'd come back to whenever I'm craving good pastries.

We purchased a wide assortment of pastries that were served at a post-wedding brunch. Everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the pastries which accompanied fresh cut fruit and champagne. The owners were obviously from France as they were speaking their native language. Their teenage son assisted us and he exhibited patience in explaining the selections and provided outstanding service. It's been two weeks and still thinking of the delicious treats. Can't wait to return to this establishment. Highest recommendation.

You have the option to get a tea set with Korean snacks or have a more traditional cafe experience. I was probably the first to come in so I was personally served by the store owner. After serving the almond croissant and berry matcha I ordered, he came by the table to have me sample his bread. Thoughtful service just makes me melt! The almond croissant was larger than a typical cafe pastry. And though the drink was on the smaller side, the cream and berry mixture make up for it. The quality of the matcha isn't too bad either. A lovely spot to get some work done or just have a relaxing tea with family or friends. I'd definitely go back!
