The 25 Best Bakeries In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The pan dulce at Pan Estilo Copola might look like basic whole wheat conchas from the supermarket, but there’s more to these brown-hued pastries than meets the eye. The secret: this family-owned, Guerrero-style bakery in Compton ferments wheat dough and shapes it by hand, producing rustic-looking, sweet-savory pan dulce like squiggly sugar-coated gusanitos or warm empanadas overstuffed with purple yam. If your ideal breakfast is a carb and coffee, grab an assortment to dunk in Copola’s sweet, cinnamon-y café de olla (available for self-serve)." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, cathy park
