  1. 1

    République

    Hancock Park

    Walter and Margarita Manzke's French café-bakery in the historic Chaplin building is the pastry powerhouse every LA publication cites; the kouign amann and morning bun define the city's croissant scene.

  2. 2

    Gjusta

    Venice

    The sprawling Venice bakery-deli is canonized by Eater, Infatuation, and the NYT for its seeded levain, smoked fish boards, and porchetta sandwich — the most-copied bakery blueprint in LA.

  3. 3

    Bakers Bench

    Victor Heights

    Jennifer Yee's vegan-friendly bakery (from a Chinatown kiosk to a proper storefront) lands on Eater LA's best bakeries list and the NYT's best-in-America guide for furikake croissants and pizza danishes.

  4. 4

    Petitgrain Boulangerie

    Santa Monica

    Margarita Manzke's solo project won the 2023 James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef award; the lacy laminated croissants and pandan ube loaf are the city's most-discussed pastries.

  5. 5

    Porto's Bakery and Cafe

    Glendale

    The Cuban family institution since 1960 is LA's beloved potato ball and guava cheese roll temple — cited as untouchable picks by every local publication and a sentimental Angeleno benchmark.
