Grand hall bakery by day, polished French-Californian restaurant by night; wood-fired, pastry-driven excellence.
Insider Intel
Must Try
Morning: pastries, especially the kouign-amann and croissants. Dinner: the rotisserie chicken, any wood-fired dishes. The pastry case is dangerous - buy extra to take home.
Best Time
Breakfast for the bakery experience. Dinner reservations recommended. The grand hall is stunning any time.
Know Before You Go
Walter and Margarita Manzke in a gorgeous restored 1928 Chaplin Studios building. The bakery is world-class. Dinner is French-California refined. The space alone is worth the visit.
