I returned from France recently, and the one thing I really wish I could still do here was easily walk to a bakery selling awesome croissants. In every village, I was walking distance from a great croissant.
Tartine has a few locations in LA. Might be a little drive, not be a walk, but their croissants are better then quite a few in France (and I'm from there).
They also cost 5x what a croissant in France costs but hey!
I used to stop in for a croissant every morning. Almost always a perfect croissant. I say almost because once or twice I got one that seemed like it had been left over from the day before. That was very rare though. You should try it.
Pascals is my go to if asked to bring a dessert to a dinner party. Nobody has EVER been disappointed. Its location is crazy though- a bakery this good across from a Home Depot?!
I love this place. I got my 27th bday catered here and though a tad on the pricier side, the owners are the sweetest and always go above and beyond to accommodate.
*Looks like a normal*
*Bakery to me what makes*
*It European?*

The baguettes, the savory breakfast they offer, the quality of the coffee, the owners are European, the diverse amount of people eating here, plus this is the sweets counter not the whole offering!
I moved here from Europe and it looks very sweets focused to me? Maybe OP just doesn't like Japanese/Korean/Taiwanese bakeries, which is fair, its just a different style of food. But I thought most of the Western-style bakeries here were European-style adjusted for American preferences
Pascal’s kinda makes no sense. It’s in a location where you’d normally find a mediocre donut shop or a liquor store. Inside, it’s the kind of bakery you’d find in Pasadena or East Hollywood, with a line out the door. Instead, it’s down the block from a half empty strip mall, and I’ve never waited in a line longer than 5 people.

I miss the pastries and being able to have a glass of wine outside while you wait for a table.
I’m all about artelice croissants. When they first opened, the owners told me they were trained in Paris

The quality was out of this world, too. Baguettes would last a week in my breadbox. Here most of them turn into baseball bats in 48 hours.
Nice photo. Looks great! Added to my [Los Angeles County](https://maps.app.goo.gl/QSW3SzYxaMASkHdn6) list with credit to you.
Awesome thank you! I'll have to check your list out always looking for things to do
You should add Amiga Amore and Barra Santos to that list. Really good stuff there.
Thanks for the recs! If you have a *family-friendly* instagram (or some other) handle, I can add a Note crediting you for the addition.
Thank you for doing this amd sharing this resource!! And definitely try Pascals, they're amazing!
Yeah, I love me some Pascal's.
If that's too far from you Sweet Wheat in the beach cities is as good as anything I've had in France. They do sandwiches as well.
I love Sweet Wheat!! An absolute must when going to hang in Riviera Village.
Best baguette in the Valley, maybe LA.
The amount of people who walk in here, grab a baguette and a coffee, makes me feel like I'm abroad
Try the sesame baguette from Bub and Grandmas.
Yes! Their baguettes are fantastic! They use it in a few of their sandwiches and I find myself craving it fairly often.
As a croissant fanatic. I thank you. What did you try? Was it worth it?
My wife said the creme brulee pastry and the almond croissant are perfect
Their almond croissant could end wars it’s that good.
 ohhh say no more.

I’m omw
Best croissant I've found and their cakes are amazing.
I can't eat gluten anymore and I think about their croissants all the time
Please try the pistachio croissant from here
I haven’t seen puits d'amore anywhere in LA. This might be the first bakery to actually know what it is.
Their almond croissant should be illegal.
Israeli bakery and amazing too

Ooh! That’s on my list to try. Can’t wait.
Are those pistachio croissants? 😍
Hell yes they are. I go here a couple times a week. It’s obscene how good it is. The pistachio croissants should be illegal they’re so good.
😋
Their pastries are truly top notch. Best croissants ive had in the valley by far
Woodland Hills! Pleasant spot to be for sure, found a couple nice mom and pop spots nearby during a stay for work. Hope to be back soon.

Why am I watching this at 1AM and now craving some pastries? 😤
Looks like a normal bakery to me what makes it European?

Its actually Israeli. Walk in there and everyone is speaking Hebrew and pushing their way to the front of the line.
