Business Description from the Web

When Julia Child needed a baker for her television show on master chefs, she went to La Brea Bakery's Nancy Silverton. You can find many of these breads in almost every supermarket in town, but if you're in the neighborhood, stop by where it all began (located in the building that once housed Charlie Chaplin's studios). The tiny shop has daily sandwich specials and will do special orders with... more

Popular favorites include olive bread, roasted garlic and rosemary-olive oil, which will seduce you with its aroma, texture and taste. Simpler selections are every bit as satisfying. The pain rustique is crusty and flavorful; the country-white sourdough is great for sandwiches; and the baguettes are magnificent. Try them with some Humbolt Fog California goat cheese, white anchovies or gorgeous,... more

Their baked goods are heavenly. We especially enjoy the olive oil and rosemary bread. Pastries and savories are sometimes from the previous afternoon, but I prefer my croissants a little less flaky. The staff is helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Don't expect too much special attention during their rush times, but even on Saturday mornings the line moves quickly and they get your order... more

OVERPRICED and OVERRATED!!!

I paid $4.25 for a very dry almond crossant and the Caffe Latte I ordered was barely lukewarm. Almost $8 for this? I'll stick to The Coffee Bean. There's also no parking on La Brea anywhere near this place during rush hour unless you valet your car. OVERRATED!!!
