Helms Bakery - Review - Culver City - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"If you live or work around Culver City, congratulations. Your daytime meal options just got a big boost with the reopening of Helms Bakery. The historic bakeshop—located in the same complex as Father’s Office and the massive H.D. Buttercup showroom—has been transformed into a massive one-stop destination with dedicated counters (and separate lines) for pastries and coffee, cakes and pies, and deli counter staples like meatloaf and potato salad. You’ll also find grab-and-go items in various cold cases and hot trays, including kimbap, mortadella subs, and bacon breakfast burritos. It’s a lot to digest (groan), so if you’re stopping by for breakfast, focus on the front counter with tasty baked goods like mango mascarpone donuts and sugar-dusted morning buns. After 11am, head to the deli area for a solid thick-cut pastrami melt and juicy, salty fried chicken that can be ordered by the bucket. And maybe pick up a loaf of soft sandwich bread—Helms’ original claim to fame—while you’re at it." - Brant Cox
