"Throw a Gen Z bread specialist, cultured butter, and a bag of stone-milled grain into a vat, stir a few times, and you get Jyan Isaac Bread. The Santa Monica bakery, which is attached to pizzeria Ghisallo in Ocean Park comes from an ex-Gjusta baker who honed his craft during the early days of the pandemic. Jyan Isaac offers fresh bread daily, including everything from seeded sourdough loaves and Danish rye to fresh baguettes and poppy bagels. The bakery is open from early morning to late afternoon daily, but if you can't make it to Santa Monica, they also sell their good at farmer's markets across the Westside. (And you can try their bread in sandwich form at Ghisallo.)" - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, cathy park
"Jyan Isaac Horwitz started his baking career at Venice’s Gjusta and struck out on his own in 2020 after losing his job due to the pandemic. Only 19 years old at the time, Horwitz turned to sourdough baking like so many others to occupy his time and hands. After popping up across Los Angeles and selling bread out of a window in Santa Monica, Horwitz opened his first permanent location in 2021. In addition to coveted sourdough rolls, Horwitz bakes brioche buns, baguettes, challah, and multi-grain porridge loaves. He also branched out into bagels, serving them loose or topped with options like schmear, tomato cultured butter, and house jam. On the sweeter side, the bakery offers glossy croissants with mesmerizing curves and cruffins topped with seasonal fruits. The shop often sells out, so make sure to head over early if looking for something specific." - Mona Holmes
