Notable Picks
8.1
A long-running West Adams French bakery-bistro where pâté, baguettes, and classic café plates anchor the menu. The kitchen leans traditional—croque monsieur, quiche Lorraine, duck confit—while the pastry case does the heavy lifting for repeat locals. Best for a daytime sit-down with strong execution on standards and reliable house baking.
Must-Try Dishes:
Croque Monsieur, Quiche Lorraine, Pain au Chocolat
What makes it special: French bistro plates paired with a true in-house pâtisserie and baguette program.
Worthy Picks
7.7
A small West Adams bakeshop specializing in French-inspired cookie drops that rotate weekly. The cookies skew soft-centered and butter-forward with flavors named after classic French desserts. It’s a quick, sweet stop rather than a full meal, but a distinctive neighborhood pick for dessert seekers.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie, Raspberry Pistachio Amour Cookie, Cocoa Beurre Brownie Cookie
What makes it special: Rotating French-flavored cookies done with pâtisserie-level care.
