The inaugural LA Chocolate Festival runs November 7 and 8 with chocolate tastings from Los Angeles chocolate makers, plus new bars and fresh pastries.
A meticulous neighborhood bakery where even the chocolate croissant comes with single-origin cacao sourced from specific farms in Nicaragua and Tanzania, bringing fine-dining-level ingredient obsession to a morning pastry run. Everything is baked fresh daily and tends to disappear by mid-afternoon, making an early arrival feel less optional than strategic.

Buttery laminated dough packed with almond cream, finished with toasted slivered almonds.
House espresso with steamed milk, crafted with the same precision as the croissants.
