Hi Bakery (Healthy Indulgence)

Hi Bakery is a true gem in LA—a bakery and coffee spot that turns pastries into edible art. I’m so grateful for places like this that honor ancient fermentation methods with the absolute best, time-honored ingredients, including ancient grains that are stone ground and far more expensive than the commercial or conventional flour used by 99% of other bakeries. They could easily opt for the cheap stuff, but instead, they choose these premium ingredients to keep us healthy. Every bite feels nourishing and light; you walk away feeling energized and good, never groggy, bloated, or overly full. For the gluten-free people (by preference, not allergic/celiac folks), give this a chance—you’ll be so happy to have real pastries again! It’s a testament to the passion and care of the people behind it. There’s simply no other spot like Hi Bakery; thank you for existing!

The first time I ate here it was around Christmas. Very nicely decorated. Good tasting food and friendly staff. The coffee is nice and strong. To start the day off right. Usually come for breakfast/brunch. The ambiance is nice. Plenty of tables, Very calm and quiet. The bagels are delicious, nice and fluffy. Packed with cream cheese (not like other places) Had to order some to go. Brunch menu on the left side of cashier. Street Parking, so good luck of you come on a busy day. Did I mention mimosas!?

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast at Hi Bakery in the Los Angeles Arts District, and it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the super friendly staff, whose warmth and attentiveness set the tone for a delightful morning. The coffee at Hi Bakery is nothing short of excellent. Rich, robust, and perfectly brewed, it was the ideal companion to my meal. What truly stood out was the organic selection on offer. It's refreshing to see a bakery that prioritizes high-quality, organic ingredients, ensuring every bite is both delicious and wholesome. And let's talk about the croissants! Hands down, they are among the best I've tasted outside of France. Flaky, buttery, and baked to perfection, each bite transported me to a Parisian café. It's a testament to the bakery's dedication to authenticity and quality. Hi Bakery is a gem in the Los Angeles Arts District, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional breakfast experience. Whether you're a coffee aficionado, an organic food enthusiast, or simply in search of the perfect croissant, Hi Bakery has something special for you. Don't miss out!

This place is AMAZING! Love all the beautiful & delicious treats they have on their menu. It is so hard to find an all organic bakery/cafe that not only has great tasting food but the quality is top notch. Love seeing Tatiana, Josh & Mary, what an excellent crew they have. Customer service is always on par 🤗🤍 Picture included last sandwich I had which was amazing btw (prosciutto & cheese). You must try the French Toast & Chicken Sausage Egg Croissant.

Hi Bakery is easily one of my favorite places in the city. When I visited for the first time, right off the bat, I was intrigued by the unique offerings. Like other bakeries, it has the usual varieties: croissants, scones, cookies, cakes; but a closer look reveals the creativity that goes into these usual offerings: the unique croissant flavors, the seasonal danishes, the little flower pedals on the cookies. This place clearly has its own idea of what to put out on their shelves. When I met Hi Bakery's owner Tatiana, I immediately understood that what I saw is the result of her fervent passion and devotion to running a great bakery, everything from organic, high-quality ingredients to warm, attentive customer service. As a baker, she brings the farm to table idea to her bakery and focuses on seasonality and local sourcing. As a bakery owner, she is warm, observant, and her whole staff is friendly and helpful. What first hooked me at Hi Bakery is, as usual, the croissants. The butter croissant is flaky and tasty, while the matcha rose croissant incorporates nicely the subtle, natural sweetness. I also had fig danish, cinnamon bun, matcha shortbread cookie, buttercream cookie, blood orange cake, lunch sandwich...as well as a slice of Tatiana's delicious signature sunflower sourdough bread, baked with pride and love of her home country Ukraine. I went back to Hi Bakery three times in three weeks and every visit felt new and worth the anticipation. There will be new seasons, and new seasonal pastries, and I'll keep coming back.

Nestled in the heart of LA's vibrant Arts District, Hi Bakery is more than just a bakery; it's a haven for your senses and your productivity. With its modern and inviting atmosphere, Hi Bakery offers a perfect escape to indulge in mouthwatering treats, enjoy a cup of coffee, and get work done in style. Their bagels are crafted with organic flour, they boast a perfect balance of chewy texture and crispy crust. My favorite was the plain bagel with cream cheese. Hi Bakery offers a collection of beautifully decorated cookies for the Christmas holiday. From classic gingerbread men to unique and creative designs, their cookies are the perfect way to celebrate the season and indulge in a sweet treat. What truly sets Hi Bakery apart is its exceptional staff. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Whether you need recommendations on what to try or simply want to chat, the staff at Hi Bakery is always there to welcome you with a warm smile and genuine hospitality. Beyond the delectable pastries and welcoming atmosphere, Hi Bakery offers a workspace that's ideal for focused work. With comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi, and ample outlets, it's the perfect place to catch up on emails, work on creative projects, or simply unwind with a good book while enjoying a coffee and a bagel. Whether you're craving delicious bagels, seeking a warm and inviting place to work, or simply looking for a festive treat to celebrate the holidays, Hi Bakery is a must-visit destination in the LA Arts District. Its combination of delectable food, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive staff makes it a true haven for anyone seeking a little slice of heaven in the heart of LA.

Came here on a couple occasions with many more to come. They have the nicest most patient associates. They are all knowledgeable in all their products. There’s so many things to choose from and they explain everything in detail and give you advice on their preferences. My favorite so far is the chocolate zucchini bread and the lox. Their balsamic dressing is addictive. I’m probably going to go through the whole menu and baked goods this year. Glad my company is so close by.

Great little spot for bagels, sweets, and fresh bread. I really like the sourdough here and I'll definitely be back for more.

Such warmth and friendly atmosphere. The staff is sweet and the food is lite and delicious.

Hi Bakery is a very cute food spot on 7th and Imperial St in LA. It's next to a metered parking lot (the lot is in-between Mateo and Imperial) and parking for an hour is I think $5 which is a good deal. When we walked in there were lots of empty tables and there are two sides - One side for drinks and one for food/baked goods but you can order drinks/food on both sides. I got their Vegan Bagel ($12.75) which came with vegan cream cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, red pickled onions and micro greens with their roasted potatoes. I just wanted something a little better than what I had been eating, so when they said they ran out of vegan cream cheese I said to use normal cream cheese. It was deliciously savory with nice crunches of cucumber and fresh tomatoes on top. Very filling too...I hadn't had a bagel in a while. My husband got one of their plates with toast, egg and sausage, sorry can't remember the name of the dish. The sausage was pretty good, not too salty and not sweet but flavored nicely with a nice kick. Everything else was pretty standard (eggs, toast, potatoes). We did get a cinnamon roll (which the best part of one is the middle piece) and he got coffee and I got tea. I got their Sunset Oolong ($7) which had oolong tea, orange lily and ruby amaranth. It was a little earthy but there's enough tea to split between two people, and it's only served hot. Next time I try this place I'd get something else. This place is cute and they offer mostly cookies as baked goods (that earl grey flower one looked good but I didn't try it/next time I will).

Very clean and inviting place. I walked in and was instantly greeted. The menu can be a bit confusing, but was given a kind and inviting description of what was what. Parking... good luck for street parking, but there is plenty of paid parking places around. OMG!! I got The Club#6 with a salad and a flat white. The sandwich, OMG, it was huge and the salad was a full salad! Most places, the side salad is moderate and the sandwich decent size. But this place... WOW! I couldn't finish it! I thought the prices were a bit high, but I was wrong, you get what you pay for and it's a lot! Thank you! The flat white coffee, may have been my mistake... but I it was smaller than I wish it was. Maybe I didn't clarify that I wanted a large. Other than that I was very pleased with my order. I will go again if I am in the area!

This place is amazing. It's a hidden gem for sure. They have the best staff!!! The best sandwiches for breakfast and lunch and the best coffee, the best bakery and cakes. Need I say more!??!?! The place is cute and clean all the time and everyone is so nice. I ate my prosciutto and egg sandwich before I took this photo. But their bagels are always soft and chewy. I personally love the sesame. They shave the prosciutto fresh and the eggs always have a runny yolk so it drips all over your hands and the cheesy goodness. Highly recommend anything they serve!

I never feel gross after eating all the bread and treats from this place. This bakery specializes in natural "good for you" ingredients. You won't get any of those processed ingredients that make you feel bloated after eating bread. I really enjoy the chocolate babka (it's off the menu now, but it will most likely come back in the colder months of the year) and the everything bagel. The staff are always super nice and helpful! There is plenty of seating. Street parking on Imperial or Jesse street is also usually available if you go in the morning.

This bagel was very delicious and satisfied mg cravings. I will say I wish that the bagel was cut in half or laid out instead of put together as a sandwich since it can be hard to eat holding it together. The people were very nice and gave me good recommendations as I was being indecisive with what I wanted. It's a pretty big eating area too, but parking can be a little confusing since the parking garage has you call a number to open the gate. Overall, this was a pretty solid brunch place!

The best bakery in LA. I've been coming here for about a year and have recommended this place to anyone who will listen. From their sourdough, cookies, bagels, to their sandwiches. This place exudes quality pastries and hits every time. Most recently, I stopped by on Thursday to grab a bagel sandwich (i forgot to take a pictureee) and sourdough. I seen they had a new item - Croissant Cookie - and I was so happy that I came back the next day to try it. It's is crunchy and soft in all the right place, seeet if you get a mouthful of cookie but balanced in sweetness if you take a balanced bite. I say it is a once in the lifetime indulgence and experience rather than getting them frequently. Because of the quality ingredients used, i never feel guilty after eating a treat or bagel from here - truly quality. The team is always pleasant, helpful and efficient. I really value them! This is also a great cafe to work in or bring people here to enjoy something savory or sweet. It's a pleasantly positively filled space.

Best Pistachio cookie I've ever had. Light and not too sweet. Everything you want a cookie to be.

clean and nice. I live in the building so I'm blessed. I always get the tuna sandwich because it's so fresh tasting (both the tuna and the bread).

I wish I could give us five stars, but I'm pretty sure they forgot about my tuna sandwich order and it took them like 20 minutes to make it. However. This focaccia is not a joke!! so incredibly good -- so fluffy, and moist, in the perfect crusty top-- and so thick too that I had trouble eating. (We love to have that problem.) I also ordered two bagels for take away, and one scone for take away . Their bagels are so thick. I could hardly fit them in the toaster when I cut them in half. The score was pretty good, it had lovely rich notes of butter. Also, there's a decent amount of seating, space is very open, and there's outdoor seating too.

Stumbled on this organic bakery while doing errands in the LA arts district during a weekend trip. Its outdoor decor caught my eye and intrigued me to walk in! I was pleasantly surprised to find mouth watering looking pastries and a delightful brunch menu! Their wonderful staff promptly greeted us with a smile and gave us their recommendations. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking. As if I wasn't already sold with their vegan options, their Saturday brunch special sealed the deal!! If you order from their brunch menu you get a complimentary glass of mimosa, champagne, rose, or aperol spritz! I gladly accepted the offer and ordered a vegan bagel with a guava mimosa. I also ordered a cinnamon roll because it was just so tempting. All their pastries looked so soft!! I chose the everything bagel and it was delicious! The vegan cream cheese was flavorful and spread nicely. The pickles were a nice touch. And the potatoes, omg 10/10!!! Definitely recommend their bagels. The cinnamon roll has to be one of the best I've EVER had. It reminded me of a cinnabon roll except that the whole thing was like the center everyone fights over!! Definitely bookmark this bakery for your next Saturday brunch!

Stopped by for a quick Bagela nd stayed for Breakfast!! they have amzaing Bagels, I ordered the Prosccuito, Egg Sandwich and it was to die for. Also have a good selection of coffes and some freshly made cakes. I Bought a couple Nutella butter cookies and they were delishhhh! Cant wait ot go back! Cheers!

Oh my what a delicious bagel sandwich! Generous creamy cream cheese, bright red tomato on the softest and tastiest plain bagel. Also had an iced vanilla latte which was just okay. Not bad. Just not great. It was lacking vanilla and a solid espresso flavor. The place was so clean and the employees were so so nice! I also took home a sourdough loaf that was delish! I will definitely return.

Absolutely adore this little bakery! When I heard healthy indulgence, I wasn't necessarily interested, but when I saw their beautiful pastries on Yelp, I had to try them and I gotta say they're delicious. The pastries are organic, stunning, and affordable. My favorite was definitely the pistachio short bread cookie sandwich, the cream lightly softens the cookie and pistachio flavor was vibrant. The matcha croissant was beautiful. I purchased a box of variety for my friend and she loved them as well. Their packaging is so personal, so perfect for gifting. I can't wait till they bring back the tarts that I've seen online. They have some street parking, but you can also validate by parking in the apartment structure.

Expensive breakfast sandos, but very good. The loaves of fresh bread are also good. The rehearsal space that my partner rents is just down the street, so we like to come and get breakfast before heading over there. The people are nice here.

Probably the best lox and bagel I have ever had in LA. I love the bagels here! They're perfectly chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Nova sand-o comes with fluffy cream cheese, fresh dill, capers, and pickled onions. Damn I want one right meow! Also the people who work here are gems! They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I've always had a 10/10 experience here. If you find yourself in the Arts District, this place is a MUST!!

My first time at Hi Bakery and now that I understand the parking situation, I'll definitely be back for more. I got an iced matcha latte, and bagel with cream cheese and lox; all were tasty! The bagel was particularly perfect, and even tho it took a 30 minute car ride before I could eat it, it was delicious. The staff is super friendly and will validate your parking from the Amp garage. The garage is very gated so it seems closed to the public but it's open. I was in and out of there super quick.

Top Bakery in the area , all Organic , an Incredible Fermented Bagels, excellent service, huge collections of cookies and pastries, chocolate cookie is an insane , I would definitely recommend to stop by, to grab a dozen of cookies for the weekend. Always so excited , to taste a new special! Your Atmosphere and frequency, is very unique .., Thank you Hi Bakery !

Situated at the corner of the AMP Lofts apartments is this newer bakery that uses organic ingredients and offers a number of vegan options. I sampled a number of their products and enjoyed them almost all of them I was especially partial to their chicken pie. The brioche with strawberry and pastry cream was one I didn't like so much. The brioche was a little dry and there were only a few thin slices of strawberry on the outside of the cream. I'll be back to try other offerings.

We placed an order for a special event for our staff. The lemon cruffins were such a hit. Thank you for the amazing service and accommodating our order. Can't wait to come back and enjoy a cup of coffee.

I have been coming here for two years now or really since they opened. First of all the owner Tatianna is always so welcoming and so excited to tell you about all her new breads and sweets. Her staff is perfect as well. They already know what we want (hehe locals). On the real their bagels are delicious. Flufffffy!

I love having this organic bakery in the neighborhood! Everything here is great! My partner and I have tried the bagels, the pastries, the vegan pot pie, the teas, and the chai. Everything is great! My favorite has to be the bagels. If you like light and fluffy bagels you will love the bagels here. Hi Bakery also has the option for vegan cream cheese- if you're into that. Everyone that works here is absolutely lovely and so helpful. Finally, as if it couldn't get better, there is validated parking in the building! This bakery is a hidden gem!

Highest commendations to Hi Bakery. From the moment we first walked in the door, it was the warmest welcome. Tatiana, the owner, is extraordinarily kind and passionate about every aspect of her business. Everything here is made with the finest ingredients and is utterly delicious. The service is impeccable. It is a neighborhood staple and a spot we will surely be regulars at now that we've moved down the street.

For starters the service is absolutely amazing. Mary and David went above and beyond to help us ordering exactly what we were craving. They were so friendly and attentive. Aside from that the menu is great. We ordered avocado toast w/ lox, and egg cheese and sausage bagel which were both 10/10. In addition to everything being clean and aesthetically pleasing. We will definitely be back.

love this spot. organic pastries, bread, pie, breakfast and caffeinated pick-me-ups that are made with care and love. i got a multigrain sourdough loaf, and they sliced it free of charge. i had a bagel with wild lox. the dill was a perfect addition. their pies all look so enticing. was able to grab the last cherry pie, and i'm soooo happy about it. next time i'll try the veggie pie! the prices are reasonable for what you're getting - delish and organic. it's going in the rotation!

We found this gem on the way to the Arts District and it was beyond our expectations. Fresh pastries, curated decor, fresh ambiance & helpful employees. We could spend all day here.

The flavor of the pastries was nothing extraordinary, and it is on the very pricey side. However, if you are into places that use cleaner baking ingredients give it a try.

The staff is super super super friendly here and willing to explain everything until you feel comfy making a decision. Their food is definitely artisanal and made with care and love. You can tell they know their flavor profiles well. I have ordered coffee from them twice, they carry a BUNCH of different kinds of milk, which is so LA of them lol. But I get what they're trying to do, they're trying to make sure they cater to all diets and palates. They have pretty good breakfast and decent sandwiches. They have a variety of beverages including my favorite, Morileaf Tea, and their freshly baked breads are amazing to bring home. I will be back!

I'm OBSESSED with Hi Bakery. I've tried a majority of items on the menu. The French Toast is a weekly must-have, they bake THE BEST bread I've ever had, & don't even get me started on the almond croissant with Italian buttercream... I took an array of treats to work recently and now my coworkers won't allow me to show up at the office without bringing them something. Must try: Almond Croissant w/ Italian Buttercream: my weakness. I almost don't want people to know how good these are because if I ever can't get them I might die. Cake: Try a slice of cake, any cake. I've tried Carrot, Matcha, & the Espresso Chocolate (the latter being the best cake I've ever eaten). Cinnamon Roll: You have not had a cinnamon roll until you've had a Hi Bakery cinnamon roll. Cardamom: if you don't want the full sweetness of a cinnamon roll, get a cardamom. Coffee: they have an incredible nitro cold brew. If your someone who needs milk & a little sweetener in your coffee, you cannot go wrong with an iced latte or an iced coffee. Tea/Lemonade: All of their iced teas are delicious. My favorite is the mint lemonade. Lunch: the tuna salad sandwich is my favorite. Make sure you get a loaf of garlic olive bread & a bag of homemade croutons to-go (do I occasionally eat the croutons by the handful? Yes, yes I do.) & as if having amazing food (& a GORGEOUS restaurant) wasn't enough, the staff is incredible. Every single employee is a gem. Tatiana, the owner, is there 24/7, working away, pouring her heart & soul into the place, and it shows. Clearly, I'm obsessed.

The best pastries and sandwiches but most importantly the best people! My fiancé and I go here multiple times per week and generally sit with our dog on the patio. Every time we come in everyone is so friendly and excited to see us. They make excellent suggestions and the food and drinks are always perfect. They always bring everything to us quickly and we never feel rushed to leave. Awesome brunch or lunch spot if you're nearby. They tend to be slightly empty which is nice for us but I want them to get enough business so if you haven't noticed Hi Bakery, go get something!

I really like this bakery, the pastries and bread are always fresh and delicious. My personal obsession is croissant with egg and cheeseThe bakery has a large selection, the staff know the menu well, they always explain everything and they will help to make a decision. Highly recommended! On the pic yammy chocolate eclair

Great drip coffee!!! omg the baked goods are beautiful and delicious! Nice owner and workers... Italiano goodness everything is organic and freshly made on premises...cute inside and outdoor seating. I saw a man eating a sandwich and salad and it looked so good! I can't wait to come back for more. Yummy yummy for my tummy

I paid 140$ for a birthday cake that was poorly decorated. I provided a visual of the expectation and the cake was from what I expected. I will not be purchasing a cake from there again.

The vegan bagel was great! So hard to find vegan bagels in LA and this place did not disappoint. All of their bread is vegan and they have a couple vegan cookie options but otherwise no vegan baked goods. I will be back for my weekly bagel craving. Pictures of all the menus as of September 2023 below!

I really like their baked goods. But lunch, breakfast, or any of the normal foods lack luster. Prices for the normal food isn't really justified. I think their baked goods and pastries are excellent but I got avocado toast and it was just a smear of store brought guacamole. I think if they can step up their other food quality just a bit that would be awesome. Paying 11 dollars for a avocado toast with no avocado is not something I want to do as a born and bred Angeleno who has no issue dropping that amount. I used to go out of my way to pay 13/14 for one that actually have yummy chunky avocado and ikura. I remember the white fish wasn't my cup of tea either. It had a lot of mayo and a little bland. But I'm rooting and cheering for ya'll. The staff is super friendly and nice. The pastries and baked goods are yummy.

The best bread and bagels I've ever had! They use unbleached flour and you can definitely taste the difference! Soft, airy, and light! They also have amazing cookies and pastries as well The owner was super nice and very knowledgeable about her organic goods. I highly recommend this bakery and I'll definitely be coming back for more!

Their bread unfortunately has too many large holes in it as they do not knead it enough which is a shame. Why go through all of that work to make an inferior bread? I've bought it numerous times and it makes terrible sandwiches as the condiments and jams just leak thru. So we will have to find another organic bread place. However, we love their coffees and salads. Their baked goods are good but not amazing. Their service was exceptional.

Amazing food. The bagel was fresh, crispy and doughy...just a great texture. Cookies were the best I've had...go for the carrot and oatmeal. Love that they use organic premium ingredients and very friendly service.

I don't leave a lot of reviews abut this place is so good I'm doing it. I'm really into baked goods and this place has it dialed. One of the best in the city. The difference is that along with the great bakery, they also offer great full breakfast and lunch items with a bunch of vegan and vegetarian options as well. The staff there have always been great and the food is incredible. I've taken a few people there and everyone I introduce to it love it. I'm lucky to have this place close to where I work. I'm also usually able to find parking nearby relatively easily and there is almost never a wait at the counter because it's a newer business. Highly recommend going soon before there are lines out the door.

I ordered the following: 1. Everything bagel with cream cheese - very good! Bagel is definitely better than store bought bagels and they were generous with their cream cheese. 2. French toast - also good! A tad dry, I would recommend adding more French toast mix to balance the thickness challah bread. Presentation and fruits were on point As far as service goes, everyone was extremely kind and helpful. I am definitely coming back. Extra points for the complimentary Mother's Day cocktail.

Beautiful bread, fresh scones, cookies, and more. The best kind of way to say Hi in the morning. ;-)

Fantastic service, such a lovely vibe and friendly people. Got a brioche loaf (yet to try but if looks could kill, I'd not be able to post this review after seeing the loaf) and a lavazza cake slice (giant slice, good flavor of coffee, but a little on the dry side). You can't tell the cafe is so cozy from the exterior or the surrounding roads/arts district vibe. But definitely a good visit

Came for a delicious veggie pot pie and left with some seriously tasty snacks! The double choc cookie might be a new addiction.... Or the chocolate sandwich with that buttercream filling. The tuna sandwich on sourdough is also a personal favorite.

Just picked up a artisan coffee table and was starving! We stumbled into this fabulous bakery with craft made breads, sandwiches, cookies...everything you can tell was made with love. We met Tatiana the owner who treats her guests with so much care from feeding our bellies with healthy ingredients to her kindness! I love this place and although I don't live in the neighborhood I will be back!!

This bakery has become my favorite in Los Angeles and has only gotten better since I started coming two years ago. The staff and owners are always very courteous and friendly despite high volume of business the arts district brings on. The lush display of sweets remind me of Europe every time I go. recommended: cappuccino, brownies, croissants

I ordered a chicken pot pie, a plain croissant, pistachio shortbread cookies, a pumpkin pie, and blueberry scone. All are delicious. Customer service is wonderful. I'd definitely come back again.

This bakery is amazing! Highly recommended by the locals as a place for tasty desserts, sandwiches, coffee and staff that are on point. If you get a chance for a baguette it is a must try.

I was introduced by a girlfriend. Since the first visit I brought my more of my friends. I love the owner and the staffs that work there. Not only the bake good has the best quality and organic the Resturant is clean and spotless. I now go at least once a week to eat and buy a bag full of bread and treats to take to my family for the weekend. I normally have no time for breakfast. Now, I'll have a piece of bread every morning. Love everything about this place. Must try guys.

Went in for bagels while in town but was pleasantly surprised by all of the pastries. We were there on a weekend so they had a brunch menu too. 3 of us got bagels with cream cheese and 1 got the French toast. The bagels were fluffier than I've had before, but that was actually a good thing. The staff was super friendly being patient with us while we decided what we wanted to eat and drink. We went on a rainy day and were the only ones there. As we were there though, a few groups showed up that seemed to be locals that had befriended the staff. It gave a very friendly/family vibe.
