Clark Street Bread

They make great bread and pastries. I’ve only made it to this location, but I’d love to try some of their hot food at their other spots around town. Get a slab of focaccia if it’s available, it is soaked in olive oil. And do not skip on the Kouign Amann. Their version is snail shaped, so every little bit of pastry gets that sugary buttery crunch.

Really enjoyed the avocado toast (with optional egg on top). Bread is chewy, crusty and warm. Avocado is freshly smashed with some guacamole like texture and some firmer sliced avocado texture. Topped with red paper flakes, lemon juice and salt for a bright, lightly spiced flavor that balances out the earthiness nicely. Hard boiled egg on top mostly adds visual flair and protein. I managed to eat this with my hands without too much mess which I thought was pretty amazing. Service was good and cheerful which is really impressive when you consider it is hot as [insert favorite term here] in the market

Delicious bread and fabulous avocado toast Right inside the Grand Central Market.

I usually go to Clark Street Echo Park but wanted to check out this Central Market location. It's a small stand with a smaller, selected pastry offering, but still has the essential items like croissants and scones. I had a monkey bread and wow I really liked it, especially the fine, crispy layers are surprisingly good. I also had a walnut loaf. The taste is pretty good but the portion is definitely on the smaller side.

How did I just find this place?! Was at Grand Central Market looking for spices when I came across these beautiful looking baguettes. They looked toasty. Very pleasing to the eyes. Really wish I'd taken pictures. The baguette was delicious. There was a hint of something I can't describe. It was fresh, it was a party for my taste buds. I will most definitely be back and will try the pastries too.

I don't know if this is the best bread in LA, but I know it's very very very good bread.

Shopping at the Grand Central Market is such a goodie experience. Clark street has a stall there and you can smell their yeasty breads before you see them. They make the best crunchy baguette. It’s so perfect that while you are at the market, you can pick up butter or cheese to go with their baked goods. Definitely check them out.

The Country bread was great, the Almond pastry was great, but...when I called the number listed by google, I found out when I arrived at the DTLA location that the phone number is for a different location. They didn't mention that when I called, or even ask which location I was calling about, so the DTLA location didn't have the Raisin Walnut bread, or the Banana bread, or the Chibatta bread that I asked about. The prices are a bit expensive, but they're legit for the quality of the products, so don't expect grocery store white bread prices or Dunkin' Donuts processed pastries. The almond pastry costs like $4, but after warming it in my convection oven was worth every penny.
