"Friends & Family anchors East Hollywood’s sweets scene, with a pastry case full of more than 40 types of baked goods on weekends. Co-owner and bakery Roxana Jullapat cut her teeth at restaurants like Bastide, Lucques, AOC, and Campanile, and authored the cookbook Mother Grains. Try the croissants, which are made with Sonoran wheat, and whatever type of scone happens to be available that day. For something sweeter, there aren’t many better caneles in Los Angeles than the ones here." - Rebecca Roland
