"Milo & Olive is a baking overachiever, the kid in class who raises their hand and asks about extra credit. At this busy Santa Monica spot, you‘ll find a wonderland of cookies, brioche, pizzas, sandwiches, and danishes, as well as several varieties of seasonal croissants. The classic ones are made with whole-grain flour and French butter, which result in a pastry that’s plump and crunchy, with fine inner layers that you can count like the rings of a tree. Taste-wise, they’re more savory than sweet, with a nice toasty aroma that hits you on the first bite." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox
