"Unless waiting in a line gives you a natural high, avoid Clark Street’s only Westside location at all costs on the weekends. Instead, head to this popular bakery/cafe during the week when crowds are manageable, and you can grab a pastry and be out in under 15 minutes. If you time it right—ie, arrive before 11am to beat the lunch rush—you’ll even be able to snag a table and get some work done. If you’re in a croissant mood, there'll be a few left over in the front case, plus you get first dibs on the excellent sandwich menu. Get the creamy chicken caesar wrap or the decadent, cornichon-stuffed tuna melt." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"Baker Zack Hall has grown Clark Street Bakery into a mini viennoiserie empire in Los Angeles, with a handful of locations in Brentwood, Echo Park, Larchmont, and even a diner in Hollywood. But even after the expansion, the baked goods here are as good as ever. The Swedish cardamom bun, which balances the line between sweet and spiced, is a signature of the shop. The cream bun stands out from others in Los Angeles with its cardamom dough, while the monkey bread tossed in cinnamon is a treat anyone will enjoy." - Rebecca Roland
"Once a mostly bread bakery turned daytime cafe, this thriving LA brand has everything for carb lovers with cookies, viennoiserie, country loaves, and more. This is one of the most reliable, best-quality artisan bakeries in the city with three locations in Larchmont, Brentwood, and Echo Park." - Eater Staff
"I learned that Clark Street Bread will close its Grand Central Market stall on February 15; founder Zach Hall shared the news on Instagram as he focuses efforts on his six other locations. Clark Street Bread started at Grand Central Market when Hall opened in 2014, and he grew it into one of LA’s most respected wholesale bakers while opening six cafes, retail, or production locations across the Southland, including the iconic former 101 Coffee Shop space, Brentwood, and in Echo Park/Historic Filipinotown." - Mona Holmes
"Good news for all Bruins, UCLA grads, and anyone else who might be passing through Brentwood - Clark Street Bread now has an outpost on the Westside. Over in a sunny, large-windowed space on Barrington Ct., one of our favorite bakeries in the city is serving a full menu of baked goods, desserts, and brunch foods, like the sticky, sweet kouignn-amann, French omelettes filled with fine herbs, and an excellent third-pound burger that you can order at the tender hour of 8am. Have we done that? Maybe." - Kat Hong
