"Izola Bakery’s bread and other baked goods, like fresh croissants and warm Tahitian vanilla knots, are a gift to Downtown’s East Village neighborhood. On weekends, you can enjoy live music alongside a slice of sourdough speckled with pecans and Castelvetrano olives in the former photography studio-turned-bakery. They’re always adding new treats to the mix, like a buttery morning bun made with Southern California oranges. If you’re pressed for time, preorder your goods on Izola’s website a few days ahead, and know that parking in these parts can be tricky." - Ligaya Malones
