Breadbar – part of internationally lauded baker Eric Kayser’s expanding operation– has finally come to Los Angeles. Kayser’s timing is impeccable; there is truly no better way to celebrate the demise of Atkins than to indulge in the unbelievable baguettes, croissants, pastries and sandwiches. And although we like to champion locals, pastry prices at Breadbar are lower than Boule's precious goods.
Those lucky few who dine regularly at Spago and Bastide are already familiar with Breadbar’s merchandise (though they may not really know it), and now the plebs can get their daily bread at the brand new, still-in-the-progress Los Angeles outlet, which is located somewhat inconveniently across from Cedars. (Cheese Store of Beverly Hills also carries the baguettes; it's hardly of The People either.) Sorry to indulge in useless civic rivalry, but it makes reading about yet another wonderful food thing in Paris less painful knowing that we’re getting a version of it here.
(Note about the semi-opaque parking situation: on our quest this morning we wound up circling the block a couple times, so make sure to pull into the driveway behind Barefoot at Arnaz Drive, or the treacherously narrow driveway to the west of the slate gray colored Breadbar storefront.)

Too bad a super exciting new bakery has to be located on such an unpleasantly busy street that we generally avoid. Still, this factor won't deter us.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
