Best bread bakery in LA. I am sad they’re so far away from us, but it’s worth the drive. The staff was so pleasant; they were out of mushroom and feta croissants, so I ordered a piece of sourdough with feta on it. “I’m just really craving feta right now,” I laughed with the cashier. When I looked back on the receipt I saw he didn’t charge me for the feta, just the bread ($1.50), and it was a really generous amount, so nice of him! Most places charge $2.00 extra for cheese at the minimum.Not to mention the place smells heavenly; the minute you walk in you’re hit with a perfect aroma of freshly baked bread. Dim lighting and pleasant atmosphere too; and easy parking.lastly, there’s beautiful art in the back worth checking out while you wait for your food. I didn’t eat anything but my boyfriend ordered the nutella bread and he finished it so fast lol. He loves it!Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishesBakery

This place was really cute. Stumbled upon it on a walk through the arts district, the cute cookies stood out to me first. You must try the sesame peanut butter cookies they are divine. I ordered one of their hot sandwiches with mozzarella cheese and chicken and bell peppers and it was very good. Perfect balance of flavors I can’t wait to try their other sandwiches. This place is perfect for an intimate meal or just some alone time in a crazy city

I've been coming to the Bread Lounge since they opened... it was great back then, but with a couple years, it has truly refined something already great, into something really special. I've had their take on a meatball sandwich upwards of 20 times and this past visit blew me away. The dining space has expanded with more tables and the service is fast and friendly. Don't be affraid to explore the menu, everything I have ordered has been delicious. I'll certainly be returning next time I'm in the area...oh, don't forget to get a loaf of fresh bread and some crazy good snacks to take home!

The music they play really sets the vibe for the place. The food and pastries are delicious and the staff are all super friendly.

I’ve never visited Bread Lounge before but my dad buys me & my mom the croissant ham & cheese, ricotta & sour bread (sliced) very delicious to eat. So satisfying. I should visit to Bread lounge by myself or my friends for the first time dine in & hang out. The parking a lot seems to be clean a lot of space. Not that big. (In my opinion) I’m looking forward to it.

Even if you haven't been to Bread Lounge's bakery cafe in the Arts District, you probably have seen their packaged baked goods somewhere (cookies, pound cake, etc). At the cafe, they have a whole lot more to offer: pastries, bread loaves, and a large menu of sandwiches.Let's start with the croissant: it's not that great. While it's definitely better than supermarket croissants, it doesn't meet my standard except for the nice layers. It's soft, neither flaky nor buttery. Unsurprisingly, the same texture goes for the ham & cheese croissant I had. Fortunately the everything seasoning with poppy seeds and white sesame on top elevated the otherwise dull experience. The other pastry that I have tried is the chocolate pistachio twist. I liked it more than the croissants because there is more clarity in both its texture and particular taste.Bette than their pastries are the delicious house-made sandwiches. I had two so far and I enjoyed them both. The first time I got a "Have A Ball" with tast

For years now I have said that this is the best bakery in Los Angeles. Very consistently good over several years. I will always stop in if I’m close by and pick up a croissant or other pastry. Without exception, anything I order is always wonderful. I suggest getting here in the morning if you can and trying a few items. The staff was also exceptionally nice and pleasant.Food: 5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishesBakery

Love this bakery! They probably have some of the best bread in DTLA. The indoor dining is spacious and private parking lot is great for being a spot in downtown. I really like their shakshouka, and their bagels have a fluffy interior and delicate crisp exterior.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishesBaguette, Shakshuka, Sourdough Bread

My taste buds are still recovering from the symphony of flavors that is the Parisian sandwich. This place has officially earned the title of my favorite sandwich spot in LA. How do you make a perfect sandwich with just a few ingredients? They’ve cracked the code. If you’re a sandwich lover, this place is an absolute must.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishesParking spacePlenty of parkingParking optionsFree parking lot

I was working in the area for about a week and I came here almost every day. And I wish I was closer to here but I absolutely love this location. The staff here is incredible. I cannot say that enough. They were always friendly and always made my experience great. I love the pastries here (especially the pumpkin pie) I would find an excuse to "treat myself" every day just so I could get something. My favorite thing to get what the Jerusalem Bagel with the lox. It was so good. I cannot wait to come back here.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishesBakeryVegetarian offeringsLarge vegetarian selectionParking spacePlenty of parkingParking optionsFree street parkingWheelchair accessibilityThere is a ramp and low table.

We had picked up a chocolate chip challah and it was delicious, soft and fresh. Practically ate the whole thing by myself in four days. No regrets. I'd definitely return to try more stuff.Food: 5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishesBakery

Unassuming bakery with a robust menu. Never seen so many sourdough varieties. Everything looked good. But the location isn't convenient and neither is the parking.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishesHo Barcelona, Sourdough Bread

Had a slice of quiche made by Bread Lounge at a local coffee house, it was impressive. Came to their location and was surprised to learn they offer several varieties and the quiche is an individually baked portion. Had the Kale Mushroom, it’s phenomenal. Best Oatmeal raisin cookies, delicious granola bars and their Hazelnut Espresso bread is the ultimate latte compliment. Thank you everyone at Bread Lounge for such a wonderful experience😊

Considering where it's at, how the area smells, and man, does it smell. I was surprised to walk into the halls of this establishment. From outside to inside was like the color transition in the wizard of Oz and smell hits you in the face like an intentional foul in baseball. Everything is baked fresh for the most part, breads are too soft to cut at 7am. Sandwich bread first thing in the morning dissolve in your mouth like a fresh bake croissant. So yes, there desserts do stand apart, and the food with fresh baked anything elevates it. And lastly the service was just awesome - so friendly and patient and kind. If anything, it's a little on the pricey side. But what do you expect during these hard times and asking for freshly baked goods. Parking might be a hassle if you come during rush hour. But highly recommend the areaFood: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 2/5Wait timeNo waitRecommendation for vegetariansSomewhat recommendVegetarian offeringsVegetarian menu or sectionParking spaceSom
