Lou The French On The Block

I can't speak for the pastries as they don't have any vegan pastry at all but they smelled amazing. So we just got coffees. They up-charge for alternative milk AND for iced beverages! I realize that they are an authentic French bakery but they decided to move into a Los Angeles location where it's hot- people get ice in their drinks sometimes, and there are a lot of health conscious and lactose intolerant folks. The staff was nice. The place is teeny tiny. No inside seating and barely any outside seats and it's all crammed together. The lattes were good. Nothing special. I bet I would have enjoyed this place before I went plant-based/vegan.

Rating: (5/5) Excellent croissants, and their Danish pastries are simply delightful. Good variety of selection, but here's the secret: everything is amazing! This cozy little shop is my go to early Saturday morning, and it's so popular that there's a line forming all the way to the Japanese restaurant next door. Don't worry, though, the line moves swiftly. The service here is super fast and prompt. FYI: Take out only. And you can also pre order online make sure 48 Hours in advance. Don't miss out on this pastry paradise it's worth the wait and the drive!

They've been on my radar for a while, and I finally got around to trying them, and I'm so glad I did. I got the plain croissant, the pain au chocolat and chocolate almond croissant, and an oat latte too, and oh boy, everything was amazing! The croissants were light, flaky, and buttery. The best croissant I ever had in my life. The service is great and very welcoming. Lou, the owner, is always interacting with the customers and is very friendly; I even took a selfie with him. I'll be back for more, for sure. Hands down the best croissants in LA.

Best croissants I've ever had! Just wish they were open during the week so I can come by more!! I've heard the line gets really long on the weekends but on Friday mornings it's not so bad. Definitely recommend to anyone if you're craving a croissant or pastry!

Great staff and superb food. Go ahead, treat yourself. You're worth it. Croissants are flaky goodness. Their sandwiches are good too.
