Tartine West Adams

The food and quality of products are consistent across all of Tartine’s locations. This is one of the newer locations, and it is pretty small. There is some outdoor seating area, which has a little bit of shade. comparatively speaking, the Santa Monica location has much better ambience, and I prefer to just do takeout from this one.

Stopped by Tartine for their sliced country bread and vanilla iced latte. The shop is cute and all of their pastries looked delicious! Only outdoor seating.

If I could give ZERO stars to this place, I would! The prices they charge for coffee & pastries are outrageous, you'd expect better quality food & customer service. I ordered a $16 quiche (overpriced) & it was clearly refrigerated & cold. When I asked if it could be heated, I was talked down to by one of their staff members saying they don't do that!! Also the coffee was cold. I used to stop by this place on my way to work but I will NO longer be going there. I know people who live in the building above this bakery & they have also complained that the staff is very rude & dismissive of them. Please do not go here, its not worth it!!!

I was expecting more. Very disappointed. Definitely not enough choices and WAY overpriced. I'm sorry but kissing $7+ Is ridiculous., near me to save price for baguettes, which were so small so hard, and don't even look like baguettes. No pastry choices etc. I turned all the way there I should have saved my gas and money. I was fooled by the French name. Next time I'll do some more research before going. Also the waitress cashier seemed clueless did not understand what I was asking her... Spot is tiny. Not inviting.

it was cute, the coffee was good and so were the pastries.

They’re in the middle of nowhere and don’t have a bathroom for paying customers (even *with* your $25 breakfast sandwich.). That makes this cafe useless unless it’s only take out. Drive 5 min to South LA Cafe for their delicious avocado toast at half the price AND support a Black owned small business.

I could write a three-page review of this place but I won't. To put it simply if you are going to eat bread only eat bread from Tartine if you are going to eat a tea cake have it be their lemon poppy seed tea cake because it is the best thing in the world and that's really all you need to know

Delish start to our morning at Tarine. We sat on the patio, ordered lattes, a croissant and some sandwiches. Everything was great. The mushroom Reuben was super tasty and I loved the pickled carrot on the side. Would be thrilled to return.

I had a great breakfast here! ham and cheese croissant was amazing! I grabbed a country loaf to go. I love their bread! staff was very helpful

It was our first time coming here sooo good! The staff (a guy and girl were really friendly and welcoming) there was a long line and they were super fast paced. Love it and the croissants were so good buttery and flaky. Would come back again!

This specific location of Tartine is the best! I can heartily recommend their salads, the simple omelette of herbs & sharp cheddar, the seasonal vegetable quiche and the caprese baguette sandwich. Two of my favorite things to eat in LA are served at this Tartine: their Fried Chicken Sandwich (peanut sauce, lacto-papaya slaw, jalapeños, pickled red onion, sweet potato bun) and the best Jamon Fromage Croissant in the city of LA. I eat the Jamon Fromage Croissant fresh out of the case never having it microwaved warm, it is that good and I don't want to mess with its just-fresh-baked ultimate croissant-ness: crunchy crispy on the outside... soft flaky buttery fluffy on the inside. The gruyere cheese has some melted crisp to its edges, the jamon's savory flavor contrasts deliciously. Very good lattes, cappuccinos etc.... both hot and iced. Lots of places to sit at this location: outside off the street on their parklet or on the sidewalk... their outside/inside space just past their huge garage-like roll-up doors... and their interior space. Polished cement floors, brick walls, huge tall space with exposed rafter ceilings.... some plants, some art work. It's a comfortable casual unfussy industrial yet friendly place that invites you to hang out. The people who work here are friendly and attentive. Check out some of the many Jamon Fromage Croissants I've had... seriously, my favorite in L.A....

I had a Matcha oat latte with their citrus housemade syrup which was yummdalicous! Also a a ham and cheese croissant, super flakey outside and yummy soft inside. The barista and cashier were super nice and friendly. Very cute and small. Gives vibes of come look, order, and get out. Not large party friendly, which is just fine. I took away a star because parking is trash! On a monday at 9ish am both sides of the street were packed and I parked in the loading zone like someone else had. They knew the vibes of get it and get out, so they left before me. As I walked back to my car with treats in hand, I assumed a vendor, came behind me and loudly started honking her horn at me to move, waving her hands and yelling to move. I honked back because I am not a pUnK, and there was plenty of space for her and her items to come out of her car in front of me. And told her theres space in front, MOVE! From my tiny prius window. As I put on my seatbelt, she gets out and tried to politely tell me this is only for commercial and mumbles something so I couldn't hear. Sorry not sorry for the rant, but parking for customers should be available somewhere. For it to empty inside and 4 people outside and no where to park is crazy. Maybe because Tartine is connected to an apartment is the reason there isn't any parking. For that, I will check out the other locations.

Tartine is so tasty. This particular location has an awesome staff. They have savory sandwiches as well and their Ceasar salad is pretty good for a bakery and will fill you up. Love the morning bun and toast and jam with butter...DELISH. Shop is cute with merch. Although I have found their coffee to be inconsistent, over the 10 times I've been here my latte has tasted the same 4 times. Nice seating outside, very bright and airy. Next door is the bakery and you can taste the freshness

It was a good experience overall it was two people at the counter. One was making my coffees and my pastries and the other one was taking care of me the barista was nice and knowledgeable of the coffee where it came from really tasty thumbs up l . It was a nice experience that I had with my kid.

GOT SICK AFTER EATING THERE! Honestly it's the worst tartine. I've been the one in San Francisco and it was so amazing worth every penny. Here it's taste not the same. The bread everything is just not the same and for two sandwiches it's like $40. Terrible management too

The workers were so kind, attentive and helpful!! We went around closing time and they even gave us extra goodies on top of the stuff we bought. Food was good and there is definitely something for everyone. They had gf, vegetarian, and other options that align with different diets. I particularly liked the almond croissant, this sweet pie with peaches, and the turkey sandwich!

The only downside to trying to visit this bakery is trying to get a good parking spot! You might find yourself circling around for some time before finding one, especially if visiting during a busy hour of the day. However, once you step into the bakery, you are smooth sailing, with a variety of amazing pastries, sweet and savory to choose from and a cafe drink menu with all the classics. I ordered jam cookies, a slice of the strawberry cream cake, a chocolate chip walnut cookie, and a banana cream tart. I highly recommend the cake, it was refreshing to have on a hot day. The next time I visit, I'm hoping to order a slice of bread to get with butter and jam or even a baguette to go!

Awesome customer service... I came in there just for a some simple tea leaves and a darker complexion. Brother with a hat asked me if that's all I wanted and made sure. Then he went on to give me two complementary cookies because I paid full price for simply the tea leaves.

I was picking up a friend for mid week brunch off Normandie and was debating a DTLA bakery and Tartine on West Adams. Tartine was closer, plus no dt traffic. There is parking under the building. The elevator brings you up to the outside alley near the back, which means you have to walk around half of the building to get to bakery. Their entrance is on the corner, with several doors in between saying bakers only. A couple of long picnic tables are on the sidewalk on front and side. I was surprised by how small it was inside. There is a bread rack as you walk in, a counter to the back with display case for pastries and a large menu board. I recall a pastrami sandwich for like $17. wow The country loaves were $13.50, they had some cut for half loaf option. I saw a buttermilk sandwich loaf also 11 or 12 bucks. I opted for a full country and buttermilk. On to the pastry display and a variety pack to share and sample. Ordered almond, plain and jambon (ham n cheese) croissants. All around $6. Tried a sweet scone (blueberry) and obligatory morning bun, also near $6. The first thing I asked the cashier was if they could cut the country loaf, so i could give one to my buddy and keep the other. "Sorry we cant do that." No you didn't! First impression(s) now just sank. Come on. She directed me back to the rack, where they had ONE 1/2 loaf. Paid, $60 plus bucks for 5 pastries two loaves of bread. Pretty Steep for this part of town. Tip screen comes up. my thought SORRY cant do that. On to the tasting. Morning bun was a little stale tasting, overly chewy. Almond croissant was dry and cut in half for some reason! Ham was pretty good Regular was not as shatteringly crisp as i expected. Butter n jam would have been nice. The scone was really dense, but flavor was on point. kinda small. The country loaf was spongey, no rustic crunchy crust. Was it humid that day perhaps, or perhaps the bag. Im a huge fan of Tartine, love their SF flagship and have tried all these items there and many in Santa Monica Store. West Adams is a miss. Skip it. I should have gone downtown to a known quantity and perhaps one of the best in LA. You take your chances. You wine some lose some.

Will not be coming back here. I will say the staff is very friendly and kind. But I tried the avocado toast and it was super basic and disappointing. I'm allergic to cashews but by removing the nuts, you essentially remove everything except for the avocado. So it's $17 for a piece of toast and some unripe, barely seasoned avocado. With a sad carrot on the side. Wish I took a picture. The particular toast that I received had unripe avocado, and barely any micro greens. Literally like 5-10 pieces total. Nothing like avocado toast featured here. I would also like to note that the egg does not come with the toast. That's something you have to mention to add as extra. Honestly, the worst and possibly most expensive basic avocado toast I've ever encountered. Do yourself a favor and go to Openface down the street. Their avocado toast is always filled with ripe fresh season produce. And actually costs less. I feel robbed honestly. One star for the quality of the avocado toast. An extra star because the staff is kind.

Superb morning cafe spot for a nice cup of flat white and an egg salad sandwich. Prompt friendly service. Very chill vibe inside and cool outdoor seating. Top Notch!

This is the best place I've been to for breakfast sandwiches in LA. All I can say is wow! They are also super polite and thoughtful. The forks are terrible, but the food makes up for that.

After having only visited Tartine in San Francisco, I was delighted to stumble across this location in Los Angeles. On a hot summer day, with tables and umbrellas outside, it was a no brainer to grab lunch and of course a loaf of bread and pastries to go. Wishing all the best to this location. The staff was helpful, the food was delicious and the bread, of course, was amazing. I'll visit return and hopefully, often.

We came a little before closing and they recommended we try there fresh cinammon Rolls! So good and yummy. Our Iced Coffee and iced matcha was delicious! Moises was extremely welcoming and showed us great hospitality. He even gifted us some fresh bread which me and my friend were incredibly grateful for! Thanks for making our experience a very sweet and positive one! Go West Adams Tartine Team!

The folks working there were absolutely lovely. The food was delicious. The bread was fresh and crusty. The coffee was nice. Three stars just because this is such a wonky location and it was damn near impossible to find parking, there was a downpour so it was really inconvenient. it would be five stars, but for the critique of the location, they selected and the inability to park within three blocks of it.

The vegetable quiche. My god it's like a savory custard with the best crest. I'm glad I don't live in the area or else I'd be in trouble. My friend had a ham and cheese sandwich and I don't think either one of us lost. It looked beautiful. We sat outside under an umbrella. The shade was necessary. Enjoy!

this tartine location is rly cute! it's small , u order inside and there's also some merch u can buy + fresh bread etc. then you can sit at any of the tables outside. such a nice spot I'd definitely recommend u come here to catch up w a friend /read/do some work (if you come w a charged laptop btw because there aren't any outlets) I got the avocado tartine & then we got a sweet danish to share. we ended up waiting for some of our order for a while and they ended up bringing us complimentary banana cream pie + a morning bun as an apology which was so so nice of them & was very appreciated the sweet danish we got was delicious - the fruit + pistachio + perfectly baked danish was so chefs kiss i still think about her. one of the best danishes I've had probably ever. the avocado tartine was also rly good! it's always hit /miss paying for a slice of avocado toast but i would guarantee that this one is worth it. It's basically a ton of fresh & mashed avocado on a thick slab of sourdough toast topped with LA things like "cashew salsa seca" and "nutritional yeast" (just kidding i know what that is). regardless, it's delicious & the carrots on the side were a great touch. Coffees good too!

I finally got to visit the infamous bakery I've seen all over Tiktok and Instagram. I immediately loved the aesthetic of this location: beautiful plants to greet you at the entrance and outdoor seating with wooden tables placed underneath huge umbrellas. I immediately knew that I wanted to try the morning bun because that's what they're known for. What I didn't know was that I needed their freshly baked loaf of bread in my life. The Multigrain Porridge Bread caught my eye and I loved it. It's definitely on the tangy side but the air pockets were stunning. It had a nice chewy texture with a good crust albeit it being slightly burned. Now, for the long-awaited morning buns. The exterior of these pastries were as hard as a rock. And I mean my arms had a mini workout cutting this pastry in half. Although the outside was tough, the inside was nice and fluffy. It seemed like a sugar overload at first glance, but it actually balanced out nicely since the pastry itself wasn't too sweet. I was mostly surprised that it had an orange zest to it. It is pretty pricey and I'm glad I tried it but it's not something I would go out of my way to get.

*** Read on to hear about this Tartine location's completely atrocious, selfish, and disrespectful business practice ahead*** What a bummer- I was so looking forward to getting a coffee and pastry this morning. I shlepped across town to stop here before a nearby hair appointment quite early. When I arrived I had to pee very badly, as humans sometimes do! There were about five people in line ahead of me, so I went up to the register to ask the staff member where the restroom was to use the facilities before I put my order in. The staff member point blank said (with no hint of compassion in her voice) "We don't have a bathroom, you can go across the street to one of the other businesses" I asked her what particular business she was referring to and she said "café V." I said ok, and mouthed WOW to myself as I turned on my heel straight out of the door. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I have encountered some cafe's that are teeny tiny and only serve a few things or "hole in the wall" spots where there are no public restrooms and I can understand that, but this cafe and bakery is not that tiny, and has seating. While it is not a huge place, if you have seating and food offered, it is absolutely ridiculous to have no bathrooms for paying customers. Furthermore, it is truly DISGRACEFUL to tell your patrons to go use another businesses bathroom, especially another CAFE'S! To add insult to injury, the café she was referring to was at least a 5 minute walk about 3 blocks down and across the street. Who in their right mind would actually be bold enough to go waltzing into cafe v's with your tartine bag and coffee asking them to use their bathroom??? You have to be a special kind of jerk to do that. SHAME ON YOU TARTINE! I am a pastry connoisseur and was so looking forward to enjoying your offerings - never again, and you can bet your bottom I will tell everyone I know about this ridiculous no restroom for customers situation, more particularly your vile practice of telling your customers to go to another coffee shop to use their bathroom since apparently, you don't have one for paying customers. I won't set foot in this place again, and have half a mind to go into cafe Vee's and ask them if they were aware that Tartine tells their customers to go use Vee's bathroom. Bye Felicia, I mean Tartine - my bad. Oh, if management would like to clarify its send Tartine patrons to "Cafe Vees" policy here, please let us know- if you pay them to do this for YOUR customers, then consider my review null and void ;)

First of all everyone that works here are so sweet! I love coming here for the morning bun in the morning with my flat white! So delicious! With a touch of orange zest...omg yum! Lunch time I love the avocado toast and the egg Sando. Everything is so fresh!!

I looovvvee sourdough breads and I've tried a bunch of different bakeries but no place bakes better sourdough breads than Tartine. So fragrant, chewy, dense and delicious. With some good butter..it's out of this world. I just wish they slice the whole loaves. Their half loaves come already sliced but the whole loaves don't and they don't slice them for you at the bakery. And you know slicing a sourdough bread requires some muscles! And I'm not a fan of their pastries, morning bun and tarts as they're dry and not flaky and buttery.

You gotta know already - this place is the one stop shop for everything you need to start your day off right. First off - everyone here is incredible, the staff are always a great vibe and super friendly, and the bakers - you can tell that they put a ton of love into what they make. It would be a fair assumption to say I'm addicted to their croissants. I've traveled around the world, and they are far better (and more consistent) than any I've had anywhere else. Their espresso drinks always hit the spot. They have fresh baked bread (obviously) and an array of sweets to swoon any loved-one. I'm a bit of a creature-of-comfort, so I don't always venture out to the goldmine that is their menu, but that said, I believe their "egg sando" is a work of art. All the best parts of a grilled cheese sandwich enveloping a fluffy egg with a basil pesto that ties it all together in some magically delectable way. They got ample seating outside, with some umbrellas to shield your tender morning eyes from the sun and it truly feels like a welcoming community gathering spot for friends, family, and pups. I'm lucky to live down the street, so suffice it to say, I got a good thing going. If there ever comes a day where I have to move, this is the place I'll miss the most.

I'd stick to what they're known for, or you might leave extremely disappointed. Every bakery has their specialties, (and as a few of y'all mentioned, robberies!) Almond croissants, cronuts, and their savory pepper scone are my favorites. Their breads are fresh too and baked with quality ingredients.

3.5 stars for the day I visited there were not many options for pastries as it was later in the morning. Morning bun latte had no hints or orange peel in it. Friendly staff but was expecting more variety and availability. Pro: parking structure attached

I love this Tartine location, conveniently located with ample street parking. Love the deliciously curated food and coffee selection. The avocado toast with yummy crispy bacon can't be beat! I also love their outside communal table with benches- the staff are great and the clientele are fab too- and can get to know new friends at the table.

Simple and Delicious. Our service was kind and friendly. Highly recommend. Avocado toast will bless your belly.

This place is absolutely incredible. The food is delicious and buttery and baked by golden angles in an inclusive heaven of culinary genuineness. The coffee tastes like a man named Luigi espresso-ed it specifically for you. My complaint is that the tipping culture has got out of hand, and they are snobby as hell. Why am I pressured to start tipping at anywhere from 20$ to 30% when all the person is doing is handing me a pastry that sits 12 inches from the cash register. And don't ask for someone to wipe down the tables. They will mad dog the hell out of you. They very may well be curing all the ailments of our dying planet, but must they act like it? Plus it literally costs one arm and one leg, no change!! You are going to need one of those strip club guns that shots money. They are straight up robbing you!

Really great cafe! We got the egg sando, morning bun, and 2 vanilla lattes. My friend doesn't even like eggs that much but she loved the sandwich. The bread was a little extra toasted but still really delicious. I also thought it was fun they gave a pickled carrot on the side instead of the typical spear pickle. We ordered it to-go and it was a quick and easy pick up! I will say their baked goods are a little pricey. They also have outdoor seating a nice and clean vibe inside and outside.

Update: still love coming here but holy F*** the coffee lids are SO ANNOYING. They do not seal!!!! Over a year later update: The iced coffee cups are STILL garbage! I can never get a coffee here without it dripping on me, the lid coming off, or spilling! Doesn't happen ANYWHERE else in town. Seriously, switch plastic cup brands. If the lid comes off, good luck getting it back on. How is this a $7.50 coffee??? Please use better materials to serve it!!!!

There's street parking in the area! This location isn't as big as their others but they have an adorable shop, and picnic tables outside to sit and eat. The menu at West Adams is a bit smaller than others too so just be prepared to have less kitchen items and fill up on the amazing pastries. I've had a ton of random items but loved the almond croissant, morning bun, quiche (crust is bomb too), and avocado toast (pretty hearty, could be an entire avo, yummy other toppings). Service is always wonderful and everyone I've met here has been so friendly and kind! It's my new go to bakery in the area :)

We've moved to this area over a month ago and still had not gone to Tartine!! But, finally we did. We brought friends that were visiting from NorCal and they've heard the hype so we agreed lets go see what its about. For one thing the location is very nice. It's on Adams so it can get busy depending on the time of day. But, I do like that finding parking on the street is easy and they have parking on the side. They bf and I both got the turkey pesto hot sandwhich which was soooooo goood!! But dayummmm $16??? Yea pretty steep. We also got two vanilla almond lattes and two pastries. I dont remember what he got but it had berries in it. I got the morning bun which was pretty good. In total, for the two of us it was almost $60 with tip. So yea.... Prepare to spend. I wouldn't make this a daily go to spot for food but for coffee yes. Our lattes were great. The friends got espresso and the same pastries we did. Overall, they said they would return. We do to. We'd just have to make this the only place we go out and eat to for the day or share a pastry or no pastry lol. We also got one of the Tartine books just to have.

We used to live in SF, so wanted to give this Tartine LA location a try, but maybe it was an off-day because I ordered the avocado toast and it was extremely sour. I couldn't finish the entire dish, even after scrapping the top part of the avocado toast. The salmon toast was OK, but nothing spectacular.

If I'm paying $10 not including tip for a fruit tart, your establishment should have a bathroom for customers and wifi.

I absolutely love the fresh bread here, and the croissants are to die for. Nathalie is especially friendly and accommodating. I'll come back again and again :) Highly recommend!! This place is so cute as well.

I was driving on Adams with my wife when we saw this small cafe, and we decided to give it a try. I remember buying a coke, a coffee and 2 sandwiches. When it came time to pay for the meal, I had to double check the price (and I am not a cheap guy btw)... 65$??? This was ridiculous especially how mediocre the food was. Whoever is hyping this place up, stawp!

This is everything a good bakery should have: great coffee,fluffy croisants , chocolatey decadent delights and a friendly knowlegable staff and plenty of seating,ill be back

Great bread and pastries. Best quality from the small range of bakeries that I venture. Worth the trip every time, and it never disappoints. Good service in a small space, fine with me.

I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, they are a great example of what gentrification does to places like our beloved West Adams neighborhood. The food is priced extremely high, and the staff is not very welcoming to those of us who have lived in this neighborhood for years. We spent a little over $65 on pastries and coffee for two people. I could have overlooked the over priced food at this place had service not been so terrible.

I came into the shop feeling positive but left feeling let down. Background I was pedalling home from CycLAvia. It was hot, I was thirsty, had to pee and was feeling depleted. Normandie- my first stop is now closed on Sunday. Pedalling North along Cochrane, I reached Tartine and thought I'd buy some pastries having biked from home to Century/Western and back. Was looking forward to some cookies or a croissant. It turns out they don't have a bathroom for customers. The man at the register asked if I still wanted the cookies. I wanted to say, "no I guess not" but I try to not be quite as terrible as the people around me, so I paid for my cookie but left feeling depleted, and now totally dispirited. And really having to pee and I'm no spring chicken so when I need to pee--I really do need to go. I ended up at Mian down the street. The lovely, kind staff walked me through the menu, fed me some wonderful food, plied me with tea and water and have a clean wonderful bathroom. So, even though I've been baking from Chad Robertson's book Tartine since it was first published, I'm turning my back on Tartine the shop. And if I'm back in the area by bike, looking for calories to burn, I'll make sure its not a Sunday, the only day Normandie is closed

New location just opened 11/15/21. Menu seems limited if you're here to grab lunch. Picked up a tuna sandwich and it was pretty good. Liked the crispy pickles. With my bottled water and tip, total was over $20. They add a little for employee/health surcharge. They should add breakfast sandwich or more lunch options. The other sandwich options were: turkey, egg salad, grilled cheese. There's free parking in the structure on Cochran and there's benches to sit outside.

Excellent customer service- so nice! Scone was OK- not our favorite but the Morning Bun was delicious!

1. Instead of honey I got honey syrup.( Just say we don't have a honey) 2. Quiche was cold.( it's not difficult to ask if want it warmed or not?) 3. No restroom. 4. No seats inside. Only outdoor, which is convenient if it's windy and hot. Do i still like TARTINE? Yes I do. Because I love all bakeries, design and atmosphere. Quality is great. Not all locations provide same customer service. Next time I'll go to another.

I got great service at Tartine, and great bread and French rolls. Not only that, I enjoyed the banter I had with the counter people, and I left the place feeling very good. The bread was wonderful, I would recommend it to anyone.

I'm giving 4 stars only because of the price. I think $5 for a plain croissant is pretty up there. It was one of the better croissants I've had, but I think $5 is a little much. I would only get the morning bun as it tastes good and is unique. In terms of the other pasties you can kind of get those anywhere else. Definitely wouldn't come here to buy pastries for a small party or event as it could get really expensive. You can do the math.

I was driving along Adams Blvd and noticed this cute coffee shop. Stopped ordered coffee and few pastries. They were all tasty. The service was excellent Mostly street parking. Price points are competitive.

love the morning bun latte and the savory danish. Everything is fresh, there is always parking around, a lot of outdoor seating available. Service is great and is easy to order. A little on the expensive side but recommended if you want to treat yourself to a good tasty pastry.

Came here after a workout because I thought the place looked cute on yelp. Get here and the sandwiches are 17.25 for 2 pieces of bread and some lunchmeat pressed in a panini press. I would be okay with the high price if the taste was there but the turkey sandwich literally has no taste, the ham sandwich is way too salty, and the Choco Croissant has a speck of chocolate. They also don't have a mini oven to heat up their pastries. They only have a panini press.... My order of 2 sandwiches, a cold brew, and a choco croissant came out to 51 dollars lmao. Save your money and go to any other bakery in Culver.
