Le Goût - Bakery and Café

*Saw a sign saying “top rated sandwiches” I had to stop in* I can honestly vouch for this sign. These sandwiches are amazing. I got a pastrami and a chicken sandwich. This might be the best pastrami sandwich in LA. Everything tasted so fresh and they don’t give you an enormous amount of bread to try to fill you up. It’s mostly just meat. I also got some strange churro looking dessert, wasn’t my favorite but it wasn’t bad. It was incredibly sweet. The staff here are super friendly and you can tell they have a lot of regulars. I will be back for that pastrami sandwich.

Very tasty food at fair prices. They make amazing deserts, as well as some nice offerings for breakfast and lunch. A fave spot!

Came to Le Gout for a cake for my sister in law’s baby shower. Came with a picture, DJ asked for some specific details and just a few days later we picked up this beautiful cake at a great price. We were thrilled with our experience, DJ and the staff were easy to work with and the price they charged us was really reasonable. We’ll definitely be back!

Ordered 2 pastries. One lemon cake and one eclair. Both did not taste fresh at all. The cake was dry and crumbly. Not moist at all. Not to mention the customer service was not good at all. Very cold and wouldn’t even provide a fork for out to go order. Definitely not returning.

The ingredients tasted fresh, but the overall food and coffee experience felt pretty average. The coffee was very strong and could’ve used some sweetener options to help balance it out. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. We didn’t try the cakes. Picture of the Salmon Sandwich and croissant sandwich.

The perfect morning is - you get off work, you go to Le Gout bakery and pick up freshly baked Croissants for breakfast! Its cheese, chocolate, almond or pistachio, take your pick! They light and crispy with just right amount of filling and still warm! Best start of the day! Thanks to dedicated staff for this morning happiness! Will be coming back for more...

Dry cake, rude customer service. We came here on a Sunday and tried to ask what was in a slice of cake; the people just stared at us blankly. Take the 15-minute drive to Glendale, you'll thank me later!

German Chocolate Cake - 5 stars! My birthday was a few week's ago and I was spending the day with my folks who came to visit from Canada. We wanted to find a nice cake for my birthday and I suggested we find a local place to support. I found Le Gout on google maps and the photos looked nice so I thought it was worth a try. It turned out to be a wonderful place. The prices were really good for the quality. They have a large menu, including a full cafe menu. I had been craving German chocolate cake and they had a nice sized cake ready to go. It was soft, sweet, and had a lot of buttercream in the layers which is something I am a big fan of. We got some vanilla ice cream to go with it and it was great. While Le Gout may not be as flashy and popular as some of the social media darlings (I love those places too), they certainly hold their own when it comes to making a great birthday cake.

Great environment, wonderful staff, and amazing cookies and coffee. Far exceeded expectations.

I LOVE their Aish al Saraya and Halawet Jebneh! If you've never had them before, I highly recommend trying both. Pistachios with creamy soaked bread and cold cream all topped with rose water syrup! give me anything with rose water and I love it. As someone who grew up eating these desserts, it makes me so happy to find a place that does them right. There's a real sense of care and authenticity in every bite. The staff can get a little overwhelmed if it gets busy, maybe due to a small team working both the front and kitchen, but it's never been a major issue for me. There's plenty of seating inside if you want to stay, but I usually pick up my order and enjoy it at the park nearby. If you're a fan of Middle Eastern desserts or just want to try something new and delicious, Le Goût is a great.

Just tried to purchase something here. Waited in line. Older gentleman cut in front of me. And cashier allowed it. So can't really say much more than that. That's bit how I roll.

decided to try at random for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. the pastries looked so delicious however ended up getting the hollywood blvd hot dog. it was SO good. the bun was a jalapeño bread light and fluffy, and had so much flavor. phenomenal glizzy and have gone back for it!

Le Gout is a solid bakery for which I have become a happy, repeat customer over the years. While a pastry shop with Armenian roots, Le Gout is as classic a patisserie as you can get, with a wide assortment of cakes in their entirety or by the slice, treats, and a dazzling array of cookies, about one third with a middle eastern vibe. I have ordered trays of their butter cookies ($13/lb, ~$0.65 per cookie) to several parties, and recently bought their larger red velvet cake (8" across, about 6" high, $30, served about 16). The cookies are delicious, rich, and come in a variety of flavors - a popular frosted and sprinkled butter in the shape of a pineapple, several disc and flower shaped with jam at the center, and several dipped sandwiches. Their red velvet cake was a true show-stopper at our recent party, with a rich, moist interior cut by buttery cream cheese frosting. The service is excellent; I always welcome recommendations and suggestions, and the associate who has helped me the last two visits has been consistently helpful, recommending cookies popular with children, and presenting a slightly smaller version of the cake I wanted in the back. The interior is clean and respectable. Where LeGout shines is value; while the cookies and cakes are great, their price is excellent, especially for the overpriced Hollywood area. To this end Le Gout is an especially appealing choice for anyone seeking catering or serving a party where a larger purchase is warranted. Truly, Le Gout is the taste of the town! Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 5/5

Lovely local family-owned Lebanese bakery with seriously amazing cakes and pastries. There are also butter cookies and baklava if that is more your style. "Gout" means "taste" in French, not to be confused with the health condition associated with rich diets, but the offerings here are so delicious you may want to get checked for gout also just to be safe!

I was happy to find a place that has some hard to find Arabic deserts that you have to go to Anaheim for! I got shabiyat (Warbat), zatar, knafeh, mamoul, sarkis halva. They also had ice cream ashta and even aish al Saraya which I was surprised about! I didn't ask her name but an employee from Colombia who was very informative helped me. Good selection of baked goods. Cute storefront. Street parking.

Always an incredible selection of baked goods for a very reasonable price. Servers are patient and happy to explain all treats and give recommendations.

First time here via recommendations from the AHF Gym members located next door. Tried the Beirut Burger and it's fantastic. The service staff was delightful and thoughtful. Ambiance is casual and basic. The burgers are appealing in appearance and very delicious.

The Beirut Burger is soooo good, I really enjoyed it! The Pulled Pork is also great. There's plenty of flavor. Angela was really sweet, she offered great suggestions, you can't go wrong with these two. There's inside seating, some patio seating, causal type of place and nice music that's playing.

Le Gout catered my engagement party and we were absolutely thrilled with their service and quality start to finish. First, the entire team arrived on time and began setting things up for our large event. They had also come a few days earlier to assess the placement and make sure everything will be arranged perfectly. As they set up they cleaned as they went and kept our home spotless. The food was placed out just in time for our guests to arrive while keeping everything hot. The serving trays they had everything in truly kept the food hot, fresh, and crispy as guests were served throughout the night. The food was absolutely delicious and we got lots of compliments on both the taste and presentation. Along with the traditional Mediterranean meal we also got knafe, coffee, and cake, which was all a huge hit. There was so much extra food at the end of the night and we worried about what the cleanup would look like, but Le Gout and their professional staff didn't leave us any work- they packed up the extra food into containers, put it all away properly, and disappeared like they were never there. Having Le Gout cater was such a fantastic decision- we got to just enjoy the party and not worry about setup, cooking, or cleaning up. The food was fantastic, service was five stars, and the entire experience was wonderful. I'd recommend to everyone I know!

My husband and I were going to back to home, s was né my husband surprised me. He wanted to stop in this place to eat a sweet. It is a nice sweet spot, there is a wall really cool to take a picture. the service is very nice, you can see is a nice classy place to order a cake for your birthday. We brought home the sweets , and they were delicious! Not too sweet. The cream is rich. A little bit pricey, but it is a high quality.

I just walked in to buy a cake for my mother in law's birthday and I asked the cashier what's their mistake popular cake and she advised me the strawberry shortcake. I paid $42 and trusted her and took the cake. She opened the cake to blow the candles and this is what we saw. The strawberries were rotten. Will worst the picture Her $87th birthday was ruined

An OG Armenian bakery in the Los Feliz area. They got so many pastries, cookies, and cakes on display in their store. All of them looked delicious. We selected a few cookies to try and our favorites were the shortbread shell-looking ones with jam filling. Super buttery and nice. The fried churros were also amazingly crispy even after being droused in syrup. They also do sandwiches so a great spot to grab a quick bite before some treats as well!

Le Gout is as La Good as it gets! This bakery cafe on the east half of Hollywood Blvd is located just a stroll before Out of the Closet Thrift Store on the same side of the street and a few skips before Barnsdall Art Park. Bordering Little Armenia, Loz Feliz, and Thai Town in the city of East Hollywood, Los Angeles California between Normandie Ave and Vermont on its corner off Kenmore with a fair amount of metered parking (about an hour during peak hours). Open from 8 AM to 7 PM with an assortment of chocolates, pastries, and baked goodness... Aside from Le Gout's staples they also have tons of bottled and canned beverages as well as fresh smoothies, coffees plus tea options, and a surprisingly filling variety of food such as wraps (Hummus Pita a must-have), sandwiches (like their Saj Manakish), crepes, waffles, and a hummus bowl. They recently added some cool vegan options to the menu and have a ton of vegetarian. Stop in for warm friendly service from this awesome French and Middle Eastern pastries + cafe. Support immigrant-owned! Support local! Support LA!!

A nice place to have lunch , coffee and good selection of baklava , pastry and cake plus I had my Armenian coffee so good Will definitely comeback to eat lunch they have good selection of sandwiches prince range is good parking is not bad on the street the only thing no restroom the people helping are nice and welcoming

The pastries are great, have been coming here for 10 years. I recommend the assortment of nut-based cookies, or the atayef (pancake with cream filling, pistachios, and rose syrup).

A very clean place. A perfect array of cakes, cookies and Baklavas inside the glass shelf. And they always have my favorite delicious cake Mille-feuille. I always buy one or two slices of Mille-feuille and a few cookies. Thank you Le Goute for keeping such a lovely place.

We ordered cake based on the good reviews. We tried the chocolate mouse cake, coconut cake and a white cake with filling. I was so excited because the box looked so nice. The cake slices were perfect. Then we tasted them. Two had no flavor and that's three people trying it. The coconut cake was okay but it was wet. I have never been so disappointed in a box of cake. The texture was hard and the cake wasn't sweet and had to chocolate taste. I wouldn't order again.

Great sandwiches and croissants. Friendly staff. Nice clean environment. Convenient location.

Bakery is on point! So delicious! Bringing old world Pastry and cookies to a new level of perfection. The name 'Le Gout' means the taste-and the taste is well balanced with delicate flavors and texture. I love Italian cookies and cornettos, these Armenian cookies and croissants are fantastic! The coffee is so rich and balanced-not bitter. I don't need cream or sugar, black is perfect. Clean place, wide variety, FRESH!!! Friendly staff. I'm a fitness expert and I break my diet to enjoy these flavors! Soooo worth it! My dog loves it too!

Stopped in to get a gift for the Cardiac surgery staff at Kaiser. My husband had open heart surgery 5 days ago and wanted to thank them. I was so impressed with this Christmas Tree of cream puffs. The staff gasped and all said it was amazing. They were so friendly and helpful at the bakery!

I'm going to say straight up as an accomplished, food writer and someone who had a radio show on food on the FM dial in San Diego. I cannot recommend this place enough it's a great value with fantastic desserts once again with unbeatable prices.. I had a fresh made crêpe with Nutella, banana and strawberry with a caramel latte it was perfect it hit the spot on a winters day. My friend had a raspberry mousse cake with a coffee, it was absolutely delicious. My mother being from London England loves Turkish delight and nugget candies they happen to sell a beautiful box assortment of candies which we are taking home for $30 The owner is from Lebanon and the woman waiting on us from behind the counter is from Armenia and had fantastic customer service extremely friendly. It's a cute chic place in the heart of Hollywood.

This was my first time here and I'm super impressed! From the outside of the building to the clean and bright inside, it was a treat coming here. I got an assortment of pastries and desserts and I wasn't disappointed with any of my choices. I couldn't tell you the names of the desserts I took home except for the baklava but picking them out just based on how delicious they looked was definitely exciting and fun. I love trying new things, especially other culture's food and Le Gout doesn't disappoint when it comes to their desserts. I'll have to come back for the food, it all looked very good. Service was friendly and I didn't feel rushed when making my decisions.

They seem to have a lot of selection for desserts. I wasn't too impressed with the turkey sandwich for the price but next time I'll try something else.

Recently we bought a cake and berries on top of cake were fully rotten. And actually this is not a first time we got cakes with low quality of bakery. Last we we found strawberry rotten and throw away the whole birthday cake. ((( Why this guys sell not fresh outstayed product ?? Its a big shame !

Saj Manakish so fresh and so tasty !! Always love coming here best local spot , also got sweets and cookies which were ver

I have only good things to say about this cafe/bakery. The last fruit tarts I bought from here were amazing Here more 5 ++++

My friend always brings a pie from here on the holidays. We got a pumpkin pie and I seriously athe the whole thing myself. The crust is one of the best crusts I've had mixed with the pumpkin filling. It's soooo good! I always look forward to her bringing one from here. The sweetness level is perfection. Oh and did I mention the crust???

Wonderful. Delicious. I am having the vegan sandwich and it is fabulous! The bread is fresh and without preservatives. The hummus is fresh. The onions grilled. Scrumptious! This is one of those places in Southern California that you hear about but never know where they are. Well here it is. Bring your friends.

I ordered honey cake it tasted really bad and I threw everything in the trash. The presentation will never order cakes from there. Waste of money

A friend of mine gave me this wonderful pita-like bread that's shaped with a handle and sprinkled with sesame seeds. I absolutely loved and wanted to buy more for myself - she told me she bought it here. So I went looking for it, the bakery is in a more barren part of Hollywood Blvd near Vermont, on the north side. Parking is on the street - so depending on the time of day, it isn't easy. It's really a bit inconvenient. When I finally got to go, they did not have the bread I wanted, what a disappointment. They have a lot of different pastries, so I thought since I went out of the way to get here, I'd try a thing or two. But the lady in the counter was not very helpful in suggesting anything. I picked a couple of things that looked familiar- it's basically an Armenian bakery - but have no idea what anything is called or what they're made of and again, the lady was no help. What I did get, I enjoyed. But if you don't live in the vicinity (which I don't), it isn't really worth the trip. Sorry..... if they had better customer service, then maybe I'd try again, but they don't.

This place is the superstar of my family! Their coffee is a true banger, that my parents enjoy every day. I am not a coffee person myself, but should admit, it smells good, and calls my name sometimes:) A big word about the employees and the owner. Everyone is just too nice The atmosphere that you make with your pleasance makes me want to tip you over and over:)

My best sent me their 6 inch Hazelnut Chocolate flavor birthday cake from this place and it was absolutely delicious! The cake was sweet, with good amount of spongy cake layers and whipped cream topped with hazelnuts. Once you start eating this cake you can't really stop lol looking forward to try some of their other bakery items!

I was in and out of there in less than 2 mins, literally. The cake I pre-ordered was ready for pick up. The inside of the store is very clean and does not smell of anything. And the staff is very efficient and helpful

Dear Derocha Z & family, A gift box of pistachio strewn baklavas from your bakery says "I love you enough to bring you hostess gift, Holiday treats, to (family, friends, business partners) from Armenian Bakery epicenter, Le Gout, Little Armenia, East Hollywood." I was so blown away by attentiveness of Papa Derocha, perhaps his daughter, his niece, additional wait staff, who, by far met and exceeded my expectations. There are more than baklava pastries. My pupils dilated gazing @ multi layered, colorful treats on display. Their names I cannot tell you bks they're Armenian national treasures. Le Gout has patio dining: hooray. They've placed eensy bistro tables & chairs along Hollywood Blvd & around the corner. You've got to stop here for your "work from home break time." There's dark roast Armenian coffee & you gotta have a chocolate baklava.

Coffee and breakfast burrito was delicious. So happy we stopped by to grab some food here. Will be coming back and recommend if you're looking for a cute cafe to go to.

Do not get the coffee. Stopped in real quick for crepes and the middle eastern coffee caught my eye. I got one of those and a Frappuccino. The Frappuccino was literally watered down coffee with a splash of milk. The middle eastern coffee was like burnt espresso. It only fills 1/4 of the cup, not sure if that's intentional. I still couldn't drink it. It had the consistency of gritty toilet water. Crepes were undercooked. Everything ended up in the trash, about $20 worth of food/drinks They were nice and everything but food/drinks were not good. I hope the pastries taste better. I feel bad leaving a bad review, but it is also my honest opinion. I would give it one star but added a star just because it's a mom and pop shop and I want to support local businesses. But, I also feel it is my duty to give accurate information. I was misguided by the high ratings and was seriously disappointed. Leaving this review to warn anyone else from making the same mistake I did.

Le Gout made my wife and I a cake for my wedding in mid-May 2024 that was complete trash. It was single handedly the worst cake we have ever tried. Everyone that ate it told us how dry and disappointing the cake was. Very unfortunate because we spent $800 on this cake and were so much looking forward to it. When we tried the cake at a tasting 2 months earlier, it was incredible. However, the deliverable they provided at our wedding was not what we paid for. Le Gout has good food when you visit in person but I would highly advise potential customers to be cautious when contracting with Le Gout to cater events.

They do an amazing job every time Their cakes are delicious I would recommend them for every occasion. Thank you

I've driven past this establishment for years and finally stumbled in. We ate a few things and they were all great. Highly recommend this spot. Andrew said everything reminds him of his childhood in ohio, wow!

I ordered a cheesecake that was dry and tasted really bad. One cup of coffee that was very very old. Customer service? The worse. No bathroom available for customers. This place is a joke.

Silvia was patient and explain all the cake options. They are all so pretty. The chocolate mousse was particularly tasty , and very reasonably priced.

First let me say that I always give truthful reviews,& rarely bad ones. But I must say how totally annoyed I was, that the cake I had ordered was not what we got. We had ordered a two tiered cake for a 100th birthday party. I showed a photo of a two tiered cake so they understood what style we were looking for. They would not quote a price unless they saw a photo. I asked for red and pink roses in similar positioning of the photo and asked to add flowers on the top. Making it clear we wanted specific colors, WE DID NOT WANT A REPLICA OF THE PHOTO. They got back to me with a price two days later,& I went in to place the order with the desired colors, cake flavor and added top flowers. She wrote it down, I paid for it,& went back a week later to pick it up. Although the cake was pretty,it was not what we ordered! It was the wrong colors-peach, white and pink.. they didn't add top flowers,& we were just hoping at least the flavor was correct. I was annoyed,& said something when she had asked- I was like- well its pretty but its not what we ordered! She looked surprised,& so I reiterated, she looked at the form where everything was CLEARLY written,& then offered to spray some flowers red, I refused since the cake was frosted white,& I was not in the mood for a disaster! When we got home, I had to "arts & crafts" a cake topper, taking up time I didn't have, to balance it out. Thankfully, I had foam flowers that sort of matched. Check out the before and after photo. As customers we expect to get what we pay for & expect people to do their job.. That said, businesses shouldn't expect a good review when they fall short- especially when its custom ordered, written down, expensive & paid for in advance. I didn't squabble with them as others surely would have in this situation. It was pretty just looked unfinished & was not what we had ordered.

I haven't tried any of their pastries. I've only tried their gourmet chicken salad twice. I'm hooked. Bomb! Super fresh and tasty. I don't quite know what type of dressing they use but it's delicious.

I ordered chocolate fudge for my daughter's birthday, The taste is so good, perfect! Not too sweet. Also the assorted baklava was good!

This place should be called "Le Gross." I ordered takeout from this restaurant through Postmates. The Croque Madame was inedible. They put the sandwich in a container with a side salad covered in balsamic dressing, which meant the sandwich was also soaked in sickly sweet balsamic dressing. And the ham tasted rancid. The whole thing was a mushy disgusting mess. It was like someone put a Croque Madame made with days old ham and a shot of balsamic dressing in a blender and made some kind of repulsive smoothie. I also ordered the Saj Manakish with Zaatar & Labneh but could not detect any Labneh on it at all. The individual fruit tart came frozen and possibly stale. The Shaabiyat seems decent but nothing to write home about. Maybe this restaurant is great in person. I hope so. But I would definitely avoid the Croque Madame. Even without the balsamic chaser, the ham was disgusting on this. All in all, I will not be ordering from here again.

Le Gout Pastry is a French-Armenian bakery and pastry shop located at East Hollywood on Hollywood blvd. They have the best goodies in the area. Indoor and outdoor seats available. Shop is spacious, well lit and organized. I love their chocolate croissants and baklava. I had tasted a lot of chocolate croissants before, but nothing compared to their chocolate sprinkled croissants which were tasty, flavorful, soft and tickles your palate. Baklavas are small squared sweet dessert pastry made of layers of filo filled, crunchy and tasty to the mouth. The best part is that they are easy to eat. Prices are relatively fair and competitive. Staff is professional and competent albeit needs to improve their customer service. Overall, I highly recommend this pastry shop and I will come back for other sweets.

If you want the best tasting AND best looking wedding cake, you've found the right place! Le Gout delivered a final product that was simply perfect. I had three different flavors for my cake - vanilla/custard, chocolate/mocha, and red velvet/cream cheese - and each one of them was absolutely delicious. We went cake tasting at 4 places in total, and the reason we decided to go with Le Gout over the others was because the cake itself was light and delicious, and because the artistry the baker showed was absolutely beautiful. The more expensive cakes were very dense and overly sweet. The owners are so wonderful to work with, too. Not only are they kind, they're very generous, and really want to make sure you love the final product. 10 out of 10!
