"Between spots selling matcha soft serve, mango pudding, and cream puffs, there are more dessert options on Sawtelle than grains of sand at the beach. But if we had to pick one, it would be Artelice Patisserie. This upscale bakeshop (with another location in Burbank) specializes in elaborate and glossy French pastries that look straight out of an art gallery, from delicate caramel napoleons to mango eclairs and passionate fruit croissants. Some items here tend to look more vibrant than they taste, but if you're looking for a post-meal nibble, their multiple-colored selection of macarons is a good bet." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
