SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! I rarely leave bad reviews, but this was genuinely one of the most disappointing experiences I've had.
We drove over 2 hours for their soft opening, only to be met with poor service, bad communication, and honestly, an underwhelming cafe overall. There's nothing special about this place. The interior is plain, the vibe is nothing noteworthy, and it definitely doesn't live up to the social media hype.
On top of that, parking is a nightmare.
We got in line at 10 AM and there was zero signage anywhere, on the door or window about a purchase limit. When we finally got to the counter, we were hit with a 4 bread maximum per person. When we suggested they add signage so others wouldn't be caught off guard, the staff, particularly one woman, snapped back with, "It's on our Instagram." Completely unnecessary attitude.
The staff were rude, snarky, and dismissive, not just to us but to everyone ahead of us in line. After we walked out, there were a few customers that were previously in there that made it very verbally clear that they would not be back either. It left such a bad taste, I can't imagine why anyone would want to come back.
P.S. the corn was distasteful (the core was still on it), the pistachio cream was bland, and the bread itself was alright.
Truthfully, there are WAY better salt bread bakeries in LA and Ktown, with better bread, better service, and way better parking. If you want recommendations, DM me.
Big shoutout to Okayama Kobo--their salt bread is unmatched, their customer service is always kind, and their banana matcha is chef's kiss. Out of Ordi is just not it, below ordi..
