Photos: Sticky Buns, Croissants, And Coffee Galore At The New Sweet Rose Creamery
Up until this morning, pastry goddess Zoe Nathan and her husband Josh Loeb kept their business dealings on the Westside, with their restaurants Huckleberry, Milo & Olive, Rustic Canyon, and the first two locations of Sweet Rose Creamery all leaning Westward. This morning a new location of Sweet Rose opened on Beverly Blvd., giving Mid-City dwellers a taste of Nathan's fantastic sweets.
Sweet Rose not only sells their seasonally-driven, small batch ice creams, but the pastries that Nathan has become so popular for at Huckleberry and Milo & Olive. Perfectly flakey croissants, daily quiches surrounded by flakey laminated dough, sticky buns, and hand pies are just a few of the things you'll find on offer.
They're also doing coffee service with Caffe Luxxe roasts, which can be enjoyed in the bright Montalba Architects-designed space. The aesthetic is somewhat similar to the nearby Sycamore Kitchen, with it's exposed bricks and reclaimed wood tables. There's plenty of room for sitting and chatting on a Saturday morning.
Like the first Sweet Rose, the flavor combos are quite interesting. Some of our favorites during friends and family day were the cognac prune, malted chocolate, and classic salted caramel, all of which are welcome with the unseasonably warm weather we've been experiencing as of late.
Here's a peek at what's on offer.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
