Bread Lounge

The classic European-style pastries and baked goods are strictly prepared in house and with the utmost care. It's a nice place to relax and enjoy some carbs in the Arts District. Read more

The Going Dutch panini on olive stick is a cheesy bit of deliciousness. Pastries are brilliant, highly recommend the Kouign Amann when they have it. Also sell bread to go and will slice it for you.

The stop has Stumptown coffee as well as artful sandwiches if you’re swinging by for lunch . Check out the bakers in the back; their industrial kitchen is constantly filling orders for their goods. Read more

Fresh bread & house made pickles . Outdoor seating . Closes EARLY. Bring your booze from Greenbar Distillery down the street and have lunch outside with it!

Amazing flavorful healthy sandwiches packed with flavor and a Tunisian edge. Buy a sandwich , take home a loaf of house made bread & a jar of harissa or olive tapenade spread!

Ran Zimon's breads are some of the very best in town , and his pastries , particularly the glorious croissants , are nearly perfect examples of the genre. Read more

My husband and I both loved our sandwiches . I had "the cheesy affair". We took cookies home for later. They were so yummy as well .

I got the On the Bird on olive ciabatta , which was amazing. A really great sandwich . My girlfriend got her sandwich on a baguette , and it was way too hard. Not a good baguette . Coffee is decent.

In my opinion, LA's best bakery , with fresh pastries , focaccia breads , quiches , sandwiches ...all handmade on-site daily.

I typically try to avoid sandwiches . These were great. Went back two days in a row for ham on olive bread . So so good.

Their Roasted Veggies sandwich is delicious and satisfying. It is one of the best vegetarian sandwiches I've ever had.

Order the grain stick ($2.75) and request a side of Emmenthaler Swiss cheese ($2). Have it toasted for a great "off-menu" sandwich ... great for breakfast , or for lunch , with their yummy soup !

Try their NEW focaccia "pizza " options: one with egg , bacon , cherry tomatoes and feta ; and another with feta cheese , Za'atar, and olive oil !

Pick up a feta-cheese croissant , an elegant knot of dough speckled with poppy and sesame seeds . It truly earns the bakery its place among the neighboring artist studios and galleries : Read more

Obviously the bread is what you leave with but that bread also makes incredible sandwiches . The meatball Sammy is Devine.

Only place in Downtown L.A. (and as far as I know, in the city overall other than Peet's) that offers real dark bakers cocoa to sprinkle on your coffee (everyone else offers fake milky sugary stuff!)

Can't go wrong with any of the pastries . But my go to is definitely the croissant . Or the cheese danish . Or the chocolate swirl. Oh hell, basically everything.

Wonderful bakery ! Lovely breads , pastries , and sandwiches , the Going Dutch on ciabatta is a winner.

Great bread selection , many breakfast and lunch options, good coffee , very friendly staff .

Hands down some of the best bread in LA. Drive down the alley and park in the back.

The flatbreads and sandwiches are all fantastic here. Save room for coffee and something sweet.

All the pastries here are delicious! My current favorite is the Ricotta Danish .

Try the smart, tangy tuna sandwich called Plenty of Fish which includes lemon-dill aioli , albacore tuna , harissa , sliced tomato , Kalamata olives and arugula : Read more

The country loaf is great, and good value . The kouign amann is gigantic but too bready to hold interest.

Died and went to bread heaven! Sandwiches selection is great and so are the pastries .

Choose a loaf and get it sliced to take home. Order a mint lemonade & feta croissant or olive stick to eat in the patio , then take a nap.

Best baked goods in town . The cookies and banana bread are not to be missed.

Unreal pastries and baguettes to take home. The coffee is great too and the back patio is charming.

To die for sandwiches , bread !! Makes you feel like your in Paris!

Had an awesome lunch here. The smoked salmon sandwich was tasty.

The Poundcakes and cookies are awesome; should try them! ???? ????

The salad side is always a great addition to the sandwich .

You can use the Firehouse's wifi with the guest code "firehouse"

Recommend the new pistachio twist ... flaky Danish that is savory with some sweetness!

Already had your coffee for the day? Try the mint lemonade . It's bright and refreshing.

Killer sandwiches . Try the on the bird.

Holy fucking shit! The Against the Stream was probably the best goddamn sandwich I've ever had

Get the On the Bird sandwich - you won't regret it.

On the bird one of the best sandwiches I've had in LA

Get anything with a flaky dough

Amazing sugar bread

Try the kouign-amann...SO GOOD.

Best coffee around and the best cinnamon roll in California.

Taste terrific

The new meatball sandwich is bomb!!!

Order one of everything ❤️

Everything is locally sourced but, unfortunately, nothing organic .

The Gringo

I've been looking for quiche like this!

Plenty of fish sandwich was okay - baguette was way too hard to bite into. Not a great menu selection. Probably wouldn't go back again.
