"If you’ve purchased French pastry at one of Southern California’s farmers markets over the last few years, it was likely from Des Croissants Paris. Parisian-born chef Samuel Manar opened his Culver City storefront in 2023 where locals can find his meticulously baked croissants, paniers, and baguettes. While the bakery continues to serve at farmers markets around town, this Culver City bakery is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, and from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sunday; be sure to come early to get the best selections." - Rebecca Roland
