The 13 Best Underrated Bakeries in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"This low-key, well-appointed French bakery in West LA’s Rancho Park neighborhood doesn’t have the most expansive pastry menu but does make solid croissants, pan au chocolat, caneles, and macarons. The breakfast and lunch menu are handy for locals looking for a light lunch, with breezy patio seating that’s not quite as charming as Paris but pretty close in this part of town." - Mona Holmes

This place was such a great little breakfast find. The owners was so kind and welcoming! Coffee was great. Portions were big. One of us wanted a baked treat, I got an awesome avocado toast! The friendly energy definitely made our morning <3

I love coming here. The croissants are so fresh and excellent. My other go to is the fruit tart. Most recently I tried a pistachio cream dessert and it was delicious as well. I even got them to cater my baby shower I love them so much.

On a cloudy Saturday morning (today) I decided to head out to a Parisian Bakery... I had heard that this place had Mariage Freres muslin Tea pouches for purchase. The pastries were gorgeous! and the longer I was there, the more I watched people come in and get the Macarons to go. I ordered the Avocado Toast with a poached egg (note: ask for it with runny egg if that is your preference - yea, yea I KNOW what a poached egg is SUPPOSED to come out like 🙄) anyhoo if you've never been to this bakery I highly recommend a trip to see all of their delicious delights. Close by, street parking and seating out on the sidewalk, if having a seat outside on a sunny day is your jam. There are also 4 cafe tables indoors and oh yea they have a pantry of goodies for your picnic basket. I will return. Respectfully Reviewed.

This place has amazing pastries and sandwiches. We got the fig and Brie, the salmon toast, and a pistachio cream pastry. The bread was crunchy and fresh and the pastry was incredible with a strawberry center. Small detail but the fresh orange juice was also insanely good! It’s a great place for a brunch with friends.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ludavine Paris is the heart and soul of Rancho Park/Cheviot Hills — a true neighborhood gem that elevates daily life into something worth celebrating. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and kindness by the wonderful owners, Ludavine and Samuel — their generosity and passion infuse everything they create. This isn’t just a patisserie, it’s a portal to Parisian delight, right here in LA. The pastries? Unmatched. The L’Opéra, Paris-Brest, Peach Tart, Almond-Pear Tart, Obsession, Millefeuille, and even the Chocolate Chip Cookie are works of art — rich in flavor, perfectly balanced, and made with exceptional care. Each bite tells a story. The breads, especially the Challah, are just as incredible — golden, pillowy, and crave-worthy. But Ludavine Paris goes far beyond pastries. Their savory offerings are just as extraordinary: the Truffled Grilled Cheese is a revelation, the Blue Endives Salad is crisp and bright, and the Sea-Tress Fennel Salad is delicate and perfectly composed. Every item on the menu feels crafted with love and precision. And yes — they cater! Their mini pastries and party-ready bites are a dream for high teas, dinner parties, and anyone looking to seriously wow their guests with something next-level. Ludavine Paris is the kind of place that makes a neighborhood feel alive — a space where craft, community, and comfort intersect. It's rare to find a spot where literally everything is amazing — but this is it. Don’t walk… run. And then keep going back. 💫

Cute bakery spot for authentic French pastries. The place is really nice with seats inside and outside to enjoy great food. I have only tried the pastries and hot chocolate, and it was very good. They do have some more breakfast items (like avocado toasts) and sandwiches. Their cakes also look delicious, which I’ll have to try next time! So, definitely recommend to come check it out for tasty French pastries without the need to travel!

Have had several great experiences here, having spent years visiting France and desperate for an authentic, delicious and well priced patisserie. So sick of overpriced “French” bakeries with their monster tasteless croissants (that's you Sweet Lady Jane). This place is the real deal and I drive several miles for their outstanding quiche, perfect croissants & gorgeous pastries. The place is sleek, immaculate & French. Staff is lovely.

This is the best place ever. I live in Westwood and around many coffee place but I go out of my way just to eat the best quiche on Earth. I always take a 88 year old friend with me for many years. And it’s always even better. The food quality is outstanding, the place is so clean & the staff is amazing. Polite, always on time and quick service and I don’t have enough words to describe how great they are and I highly recommend all of them.

Oh LA LA! Absolutement Delicious! This is a spectacularly authentic, French patisserie (bakery) serving up some of the most delicious French inspired baked goods in LA! I love the chouquettes (French donut holes) and the raspberry filled beignets. The St Honore dessert is also divine. Love the Parisian cafe vibe, with stylish outdoor patio seating. The service is supberb, and I will be coming back for more yummy pastries.

As a French expat, I am constantly looking for bakeries that remind me of home. Ludivine Paris feels/looks like it, however I don't think I went with the right option today. The Almond pear tart was a little sweet in my opinion, with an overpowering almond flavor. Maybe I was expecting a bit more pear flavor. I also believe the pricing range is on the higher side ($9 for this tart). However, I did enjoy the crust and consistency of the tart as well as the cute interior. They also have outdoor seating. If I were to go back, I would probably try the eclair or Paris-Brest.

I visited on an early Sunday afternoon after seeing an Instagram promotion for the patisserie. To be clear, I was only here for the desserts. I have two go-to patisseries and was excited to learn whether Ludivine would make the short list of my favorite patisseries on the westside. I ordered two items - the sweet ludivine ($13) and a strawberry shortcake dessert ($12). As I swiped my card I thought the price was a bit steep but hoped that the purchase would be worth my while. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by both. The sweet ludivine is basically an ispahan. However, the sweet ludivine I received didn't have the traditional lychee and was overly sweet. The shortcake desert was also underwhelming. The cake was dry and the meringue was rubbery. It was missing the delicate flavors, textures and sweetness that are synonymous with French patisseries. What I did appreciate about the bakery was how light and airy the inside was, despite there being a few people at tables enjoying their food. Overall, I probably won't go back since there are better, more authentic patisserie options in Sawtelle and Beverly Hills.

Cute place with good pastries and coffee... a shame about the sandwiches though... The Roma sandwich was decent, but pricey for the amount of material in it. Would have loved a side of complimentary chips...but alas, that is no LA. Why aren't there protein options for the sandwiches? French ham and gruyere with mustard? Croquette madame?

My friend and I enjoyed lunch outdoors here on a Sunday. We both ordered the salmon tartine, and shared a croissant and the hazelnut pastry recommended by the owner. The hazelnut pastry was the best I've ever had! It wasn't too sweet and was plenty for sharing. The hazelnut flavor was not overpowering and it was just divine. The salmon tartine came with a side of arugula tossed in some oil, and a side of sliced avocados. The cuts of lox was thick and delicious. Even with so much food, we finished everything without feeling overly stuffed. All the food was nice, airy, and fresh! The ambiance is so cute with tables both indoors and outdoors. The service was great, the owner came out to check on us even though we were outdoors and the design was pay first at the register, then self seating. I would absolutely return to try other pastries and food. Parking was metered, but going around the block had free 2 hour parking in the neighborhood area.

Very good plain croissant. Crispy, flaky, and puffy outside. Airy, layered inside. Nice pull inside. Less sweet would be better. Its crispiness is better than the harder shell of Penny Oven. Beautiful rise of the pain au chocolat. Nice airy inside. Sweet chocolat. Lots of chocolate and better consistency of chocolate compared to Artelice. Way better than Pascal Patisserie pain au chocolat. Almond croissant beautiful outside, puffier than Pascal Patisserie but not as flavorful. Not as airy and layered as Artelice but the filling is better than Artelice that is too pasty. Not as good as Pascal filling.

We drove all the way from South OC to try out this beautiful little French bakery in West LA, and it was so worth it! I saw a few posts about this spot on IG, and so we ended up trying out their two most posted about desserts; the Ludivine (raspberry and cream macaron) along with the Lemon Meringue. I can not say enough how delicious both were, but my favorite was the Ludivine! Lightly sweet and perfectly fruity with fresh raspberries and a beautiful presentation. The Lemon Meringue was tart and tasted fresh-not artificial at all, so it was perfect. They had wonderful customer service and even gave us a free little bag of Madelines since it was our first time. I'm excited to come back and try out their other desserts, but for sure, I know they will be fresh, not too sweet, and just right.

This was a find. I went to a nearby restaurant and saw this place across the street. I am drawn to Parisian fare--- I mean the city of Lights, is fabled to have gifted the world with culinary techniques that helped redefined the word delicious and made going out to dinner a cool affair, worthy of thought and reflection. I entered the spot, minutes before closing time and I was still welcomed by an older gentleman that spoke English with a heavy hint of an French accent- which I absolutely adore as it made me feel like I had entered a quaint pastry shoppe in front of Notre-Dame. My troubled thoughts and varied woes stopped for a minute, for they were left in America as I entered gay Paree. The place had a people watching vibe-- quaint, with seats in and out. I could not sit and enjoy a latte as I watched people stroll by, cause I had minutes to make my pastry selections. I let my heart indulge in choices- so I ordered quite a bit: a classic Chocolate Chunk cookie (for my nephew) a Peanut Butter Cookie (for me) a chocolate ganache tart, a chocolate macaron, a lemon tart, a pecan tart, and a donut hole like pastry with visible sugar crystals in the outside. The owner gave me one of these to enjoy as I ordered- he called it a gift. Merci-- sir! I tasted it, and it was a soft cloud, at every bite, punctuated by those visible sugar crystals. A treat, to be sure. We parted ways me and what I perceived to be the Parisian store owner. I said goodbye in butchered French. He responded in expert and romantic French. A perfect way to close my visit. My nephew-- who is only six- and thus picky from inexperience, devoured his choc. chunk, one small bite at a time, till he only had crumbs around him. I enjoyed my macaron first and it was a pleasure to enjoy. It was rich, in its chocolate presence, which is what I expect from a macaron. Then I enjoyed the peanut butter cookie with a cup of milk. Solid---- I especially appreciated the chunks of peanut butter. My parents enjoyed the pecan tart. The next day I enjoyed the chocolate ganache tart and that was the delight of the Parisan pastry box. I would go back, just to enjoy the tart again. I have yet to try the lemon meringue tart. I know that there is a huge desire to name these tarts as pies--- especially as they had similar flavor profiles, construct and design, but the are different enough to be standalone treats. But if it helps you then do consider these as a cousin to pies-- cause I guess they kind of are. This place is a small slice of Parisian fare in LA. It delivers solid pastries and charm. Attend, and be happy. Attend and leave with the desire to say uh, la la.

My first time here this morning (6/17/23). I heard about this bakery in Next Door app. It didn't disappoint!! A friendly charming service by the French owner. Both French tea and coffee are wonderful. The bakeries are FENOMENAL!!!! I had a plain croissant and my husband had a raspberry donut. Out of the world!!! I highly highly recommend this place.

The iced vanilla latte I ordered to go was absolutely disgusting. I had to throw it away. The almond croissant does not taste like buttery flaky croissant. Chewy but not croissant like. The canalis are absolutely uneatable. It tasted like some kind of stevia put inside, my husband and I couldn't eat it. The only thing we enjoyed from there is the bread, it was a tinny bit dry but we toasted it and had it with butter and it was delicious. Great customer service as well but I would not eat order from there again and wish I didn't order so so much.

We just returned from 11 days in London & Paris... So we had to swing by to visit a local French Patisserie which was Ludivine off Pico. Met a super nice fellow, Sam whom I suspect is the owner or general manager. We chatted about our visit to Paris & shared pictures from 2 weeks ago. Great fun chatting about so much. So impressions... Upon entry and inspection it was like walking back into a Parisian Patisserie with gorgeously presented glistening complex looking creations! All without having to hop a jet, get an apartment like we did a couple weeks ago! We saved several thousand with this authentic local option. I still drove in from Westlake Village about 35 minutes each way ... No sweat. The berry tart was declared "wonderfully delicious mmmm" by my daughters, the almond croissant had just the right amount of almond filling with a complex layered structure... The mini caneles were rich with a complex flavor... Hugely delightful in a charming mini size!!! All at a huge bargain rate compared to flight & apartment costs otherwise!!! So why 5 stars? Well... I saved $7,000 on this fab culinary experience ... So am I nuts? If I could vote 1000 stars it would have been just fine!!! So 5 stars will just have to do.

Charming interior with friendly customer service. The display of baked goods looked very appetizing but also aesthetically pleasing. While the canales I tried were a bit on the softer side for my preference, the flavor was undeniably delicious. I particularly found the mini caneles to be better.

This was the worst coffee I've ever tasted. The latte somehow accomplished tasting both burnt and concentrated, while also tasting watered down and flavorless as far as non-burnt flavors go. It was undrinkable, I had to spit it out, and I drove to Amandine Patisserie to replace it immediately. This latte was worse than gas station coffee left on the burner till noon in my small farming hometown in Alabama. I've been in LA for seven years and never had a bad cup once, anywhere. This latte from Ludivine is an international embarrassment to Los Angeles as a city, France as Ludivine's claimed culinary standard, and human beings as creatures capable of decent things. It was 12oz of lost hope. I haven't left a Yelp review in years, but this coffee was so unbelievably offensive (cannot believe I am describing a coffee as offensive, but seriously) I redownloaded the app just to warn anyone in Los Angeles to avoid getting coffee here. If you brought someone to a first date for coffee here, there won't be another date. If you bring your parents for coffee here while they're visiting, they'll write you out of the will after. If taste could kill, this coffee would be a homicide. For sure get your pastries (which are good), and then hit whatever other local cafe/starbucks is on the way back home.

Hands down the best French Bakery I have visited in LA. I met Ludivine. She made me feel welcome and took really good care of her customers. I bought a Mushroom Quiche and boy did it taste delicious. My husband and daughters loved the box of assorted macaroons. I will be back and look forward to the best breakfast spot in Century City. Thanks Ludivine. The coffee was made perfectly too! Merci!

Absolutely loved this place! Felt like a quaint Parisian cafe with their decor. The service was excellent, very quick and friendly. The pastries were spot to the classic French techniques I learned in pastry school, and the bread basket was to die for. Every kind of bread they included was delightful. I'm so happy in stopped in here before my flight home!

I've been buying baguettes and pastries from them for almost 2 years now and I recently ordered twice from their catering menue. The quality is great, they're super responsive and reasonably priced considering the quality. I've never dined in, but I'm sure the food is good too.

So Dominique went to Paris for an authentic croissant as well as a savory croissant because who's counting! Happy, to have found this beautiful stunning Parisian bakery just blocks from my home. I found myself here early morning and as I was leaving it started to fill up fast. I Dibble and dabble in the world of pastry arts myself and I have taken master classes when it comes to puff pastry and that of croissants... Finding a true Parisian well-made traditional croissant in Los Angeles is no easy feat. You see lamination the folding making sure the butter and the dough or well combine to ensure a flaky crust so if you've ever had a Kiki or parts of croissants that weren't so crisp you know that they were incorrectly made. I had the pleasure of meeting the gentleman who makes the croissants here and let me tell you he knows what he is doing. I refuse to go to bakeries that cannot produce a croissant better than that of my own in my own kitchen I have now found a place that is local that I plan on supporting. I look forward to returning with a book and trying more of their desserts, this place would be phenomenal if they had a BYOB or even a corkage fee for you to bring your own bottle of wine. Now the service, the gentleman at the cashier who may have been the manager and or the owner service me as not only the cashier but the food runner as well as the server. It's small businesses like this that I appreciate for their hard work. Now I have minded that some people have a sincere a problem with the lattes and coffe made here because they are made from Nespresso machines... I understand that for a true espresso and coffee cult followers this may be a deal breaker. However, in my circumstance I had a delicious vanilla latte with a savory croissant and a almond croissant to go I will be back and soon maybe this afternoon. Ssssh! No stalkers!

Hi we were gonna try here in person instead we made togo this time. I've ordered a smoked salmon sandwich with arugula and avocado: which was exquisite level of sandwich. They spread some white sauce like cream cheese based with a lot of dills and extra arugula and avocado with olive oil base sauce ... Dill is making flavor more brilliant and the crispy level of the bread is just right...The truffle grilled cheese:.. hmm perfectly grilled cheese it was toothsome for sure, L'opera just fine but not my type, The gigantic macaron has fresh and super sweet raspberries inside , soft enough to have a big bite. And the main event Lemon tart was exquisite flavor of lemon and the right softness of crust also the white cream was seared a lil with torch to get a pinch of fire taste!!! All the works are exuberant and scrumptious!!! No regret and quite authentic French patisserie. Definitely will come back to check the spot in person!

One of the best places in LA I've found a good pain au chocolat! A friend of mine who is a regular turned me onto them and I fell in love with the pastries. The ambience is also very aligned with the theme of the food and just a cute place to go to suspend time for a moment, enjoy a pastry and ponder life. Parking is usually easy if not at rush hour and the food...well, just look...

Our order: Mixed berry tart - delicious. I'm not a fan of tarts with custard. These remind me of the tarts I used to get at Micheal Richard's on Robertson back in the day. Delicious Strawberry pistachio - see above. So good Pear apple crème cake - what can I say. Just delicious. I just moved back to LA and was sad to find out my fave pastry shop closed. Found the perfect replacement. Keep it up.

I recently stopped by this delightful spot for some wonderful and unique French pastries, and I was thoroughly impressed! The mushroom quiche was fantastic! So flavorful. The macarons, caneles, cookies, and other treats we enjoyed were absolutely delicious and not overly sweet. The friendly and helpful owner made the experience even better. Convenient small bags made it easy to sample a variety of goodies. I can't wait to return to try their other offerings including sandwiches, tartines, and the array of great salads. They also offer a fantastic breakfast menu and the savory croissant of the day. Lunch choices include the savory croissant and the salmon tartine of the day, complemented by a wide selection of coffee and tea drinks. The interior is cozy and attractive, with additional seating available outside. This gem of a destination on Pico, near Fox Studios and Rancho Park, is wonderful for meeting friends and family and also for catering special events too. It makes for a great gift certificate, too. A must-visit!

Ordered through Uber Eats and was not disappointed! Everything here is amazing. My favorite was the Apple Finesse, followed by the Mini Caneles, Sweet Ludivine, Millefeuille, and assorted Madeleines. The employees here are so nice and generous and give great recs if you let them know the general vibe you're going for! I will say the Sweet Ludivine and Millefeuille are hard to eat all at once, but that could be a plus for anyone looking for multiple dessert breaks throughout the day.

Ludivine Paris is a café bakery located on Pico Bl less than 3 blocks from Lycee Francais Academy where I attended and close to Hillcrest Country Club, where I frequent. Earlier I had to meet an octogenarian friend at Hillcrest Country Club and wanted to bring some sweet treats. Good thing Ludivine was nearby and saved my day and made my friend very happy. This bakery is relatively new, clean, organized and had a limited but nice selection of baked goods, mostly pastries. I was cordially greeted by Samuel, the husband of Ludivine. He was apologetic for not having enough on hand, as most had sold out earlier. I came in the afternoon so I didn't expect to much. Enough pretty and yummy pastries for gifting and of course for my furbabe Fendi and Me. Many transitional French pastries: canalés, macarons, baguettes... ALL look Trés Delicieux. Service by Samuel was friendly, accommodating and helpful. This bakery is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood, as the the French school: Lycee Francais students and staff will definitely be regulars. Almost everyone at Hillcrest Country Club now know about this café bakery, thanks to Me, because my pastries gifts were a welcome hit. There's a menu of sandwiches and other café items available and served during limited hours. My octogenarian friend and his friends loved ALL the pastries! And with such approval, this bakery gets my Recommendation.

Went for the first time recently and it was ok. As compared to the patisserie's I've been to in Paris it's not the same, Paris rules. The selection was ok but maybe going on a Saturday early afternoon made for a smaller selection. The food menu is fairly small. Everything tasted good especially the truffle grilled cheese.

I was excited to see a new bakery open up in my neighborhood! I arrived shortly after 10am and they were sold out of plain croissants, so I got a chocolate croissant and a slice of gluten-free chocolate cake. The pain au chocolat was perfect! The cake was just right - not too sweet or too rich. My mother always complains about how cakes have too much sugar, but found this one had just the right amount. I can't wait to return to try their plain croissants, bread and tarts. Happy to have a quality like patisserie like Ludivine close by! Metered street parking on Pico.

I came here based on an Instagram video review. The design of the pastries was astounding and they claimed to be Parisian trained, so we were really excited. The looks of the pastries held up, but not a lot else did. First off, this is an expensive patisserie. $12 for signature dish. I got the St Honore. The base is a flaky pastry topped with vanilla cream and then burnt sugar little shoes. The base was flavorless and a bit stale. The cream was flavorless with a small hint of vanilla. The shoe buns (of which there were 3 small ones) was excellent. If only it was just them. I also got the canales, meringues, and doughnut. The caneles were fine. They seemed comparable to the ones at Trader Joe's. The meringues were all crunch, no chew, and tasted off. I'm not sure why but it was a mix of burnt and artificial. Avoid them. The doughnut was fine comparable to any cheap doughnut shop in LA. My fiancé had the obsession. Chocolate with passion fruit. He liked it a lot, except for the cookie base. I thought the chocolate was good, nicely balanced. They also charge 5.50 for nesspresso and mediocre iced tea. In sum, it's just not worth it for the price.

This bakery serves the freshest French delectables I've ever tasted. The pastries here are out of this world, a perfect balance of sweet, fresh, and simple. You definitely won't regret trying the food here. They have a lunch menu too! All whole ingredients, keeping your body happy and satiated throughout the day (flavorful sandwiches, salads, & more). Try anything there and I promise, you'll end up wanting to go back haha.

Sweet baby jesus - the pastries here are so good, this place should have a line around the block! Specifically, speaking to the Opera Cake was absolutely beyond expectations. A perfect blend of chocolate, cake, and espresso. The Millefuille (aka Napoleon) is to die for. The pastry was crispy, the crème delectable, and the fondant absolutely delicious, smooth, and sublime. This is the stuff dreams are made of... Merci Ludivine Paris!

Well the person behind the counter was nice, that's something. But I'd have expected much better from a place apparently owned by real French people, so close to both the French high school and the French consulate. Let's just summarize by saying everything was dead stale. Not a bit less fresh from this morning, not even day old, but days and days past when it should have been flung at the public. I don't think I've ever had anything so stale on either side of the Atlantic. Beside that, it was tasteless. A Paris-Brest should whack you upside the head with delicious hazelnut, but noo. cardboardy choux ring, buttercream with the slightest hint of taste, crusted over. The flan was supposed to be custardy, it was dense, it tasted like vanilla but nothing else. Its crust could best be described as ghostlike, you could see it was there but you could not taste it. And we got this because the eclairs had american whipped cream filling. And because the opera cakes much- admired here looked disgusting, not even a cm thick and maybe a third of the canonical layers, also looking suspiciously dry. So people, you want cake? Don't bother coming here.

Just tried the raspberry canele, apricot canele and Nutella canele. Also enjoyed the chocolate mousse and the orange juice. All are delicious. I'd recommend this place from now on. The service was fast and friendly. The seating outside allows you to enjoy a cool breeze on a hot summers day.
