"Born as a pop-up at Smorgasburg, Lei’d has settled into its permanent home in Culver City since opening in 2023. In contrast to other bakeries whose cookie selections may be limited to chocolate chip, sugar cookie, or oatmeal raisin, Lei’d draws influence from around the world, baking it into cookies like mango sticky rice, cannoli, and guava cheese. There are even some gluten-free options, including a flourless brownie and snickerdoodle." - Rebecca Roland
