Lou, The French On The Block

The 11 Best Croissants In Los Angeles, Ranked - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"A bakery with a Francophonic name is one thing, but this tiny walk-up shop in Burbank is crystal clear about it being run by a proud Frenchman. Thankfully, Lou does his homeland justice with a classic butter croissant that hits every purist’s note. It’s equal parts flaky and chewy, savory and sweet, and deeply buttery but not so rich you don’t consider ordering a second right after finishing your first. We’ve heard that the man himself (Laurent, a.k.a. Lou) can often be found behind the counter, dispensing pearls of wisdom. Go find out for yourself." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox
