"After gaining a cult following (and consistently selling out) at farmers markets, Bub & Grandma’s finally opened a permanent location in 2022 that pays tribute to Tri-State delis. Those looking just for pastries can head to the takeout window in the front, where croissants, doughnuts, and loaves of bread are available. Those looking for a fuller meal can grab a table inside where the pastries are available alongside a menu of sandwiches, salad, and other deli-inspired bites." - Rebecca Roland
"This Glassell Park cafe from well-known bread icons Bub & Grandma’s is a cute homage to the American diner, complete with cushy white booths, a wrap-around counter and a rotating pie case. While the lunch menu has more sandwiches on it (we like the mustard-y tuna salad and veggie-stacked antipasti), the best one overall is served at breakfast: the egg and cheese. It’s a simple, perfectly built breakfast sandwich and one of the only reasons we’ll leave the house before 9am on the weekends. " - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
"Popular Glassell Park bakery Bub & Grandma’s has a tight menu of croissants, doughnuts, and American-style diner sweets like chocolate cream pie. Expect flavors to hew toward classic and balanced versus overly sweet. Always order a baguette to go." - Eater Staff
"If you’ve ever ordered anything bread-related from a place in LA with cutesy menu fonts and small-batch coffee, you're likely familiar with Bub & Grandma's. The wholesale bakery has been supplying amazing baked goods around town for years but had never had a space of its own—until now. The Bub & Grandma’s cafe in Glassell Park is an homage to the early-morning American diner, complete with cushy white booths and a wrap-around counter. But if you don’t have time to stay for a full breakfast, do what we do and show up early, grab a loaf of sesame bread for the week, and raid their pastry case of every almond cake, croissant, and blueberry donut that catches your eye.
