"I have to Pitchoun many times before I started posting reviews. Recently I returned for breakfast. This is one of my favorite bakeries in downtown Los Angeles. Their staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about their pastries. The ambiance atmosphere feels warm and comfortable. Everything they make it delicious and freshly made. I highly recommend that you visit this unique bakery and restaurant. You won't be disappointed with your experience. By the way their coffee is off the charts great."

"My European and Australian colleagues were saying how hard it is to find an artisan bakery that doesn't overdo the sugar and salt. Having indulged in many of these across Europe and Australia for most of my life, I have to agree. My go tos are usually Kouign Amann (a pastry laminated in butter and sugar) and any type of croissant. Bummer that the Kouign Amann was sold out! Instead I had a Pistachio Croissant and the Everything Croissant - an adaptation of the Everything Bagel. The former had creamy and nutty filing surrounded by flaky pastry and a generous sprinkle of chopped pistachio nuts on top. The latter was a lighter version than the bagel but had all the bold flavours. Neither could be described as delicately balanced but were pretty good. Sad on missing the Kouign Amann, I returned a second week. This time I was in luck and there was also a Fall Kouign Amann, so I took both for contrast. The Kouign Amann sat in a pool of syrup? This was truly overpowering for me. The Fall Kouign Amann had dried fruits, but unfortunately by then I was too overwhelmed by the Kouign Amann to appreciate this one - it was just more sugary sweetness. The rustic decor is warm and tasteful, which I really liked, but not the sound of the chairs screeching across concrete floors. Service was brief but sufficient. Conclusion: I'm still searching for that elusive bakery with delecate balance of flavours in this city."

"This café offers a truly fantastic selection of food. All the products look very high-quality and are beautifully presented. The food itself was excellent, and it’s great that you can choose to enjoy it on-site or take it to go. Unfortunately, the service was not very good. The staff seemed a bit inattentive, and overall the operation didn’t feel particularly well organized. The seating area was also quite cramped, which made the visit a little less comfortable. Despite these drawbacks, the café is still highly recommended. The excellent quality of the food and the wide variety of options make it well worth a visit."

"Absolutely incredible. My salmon bagel was to die for. The staff is so kind. The ambience is amazing. Highly recommended in every way Only note is that WiFi is only for an hour if you’re hoping to work here !"

"The pastries ALONE are worth the visit. This place is a VIBE- NEW YORK via Pershing Square. It's got people, music, atmosphere, and the friendliest service. I visited two days in a row and was not disappointed. The foccacia breakfast is a real bargain if you are hungover and need something to keep you from dying."
