12 bakery places in Los Angeles we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Los Angeles | Bakery across every city.

Los Angeles bakers lean on California-milled grain and a strong laminated-pastry culture, and the city has several reference counters spread across its neighborhoods. Margarita Manzke's counter inside Republique on South La Brea bakes the city's benchmark kouign-amann, while Bub and Grandma's in Glassell Park supplies bread to half the city's chef restaurants. In Little Tokyo, Fugetsu-Do has hand-pounded mochi since 1903 from the same family, a reminder that the city's baking tradition runs far past the croissant.
