The Top 17 Bakeries in Los Angeles

17 places in the record

The best bakeries in Los Angeles, by the professional record: James Beard Awards, World Culinary Awards, and Time Out have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. République comes out on top.

Gusto Bread and Petitgrain Boulangerie hold the next two places. James Beard Awards and Time Out show up on more of this list than any other guide.

Categories

  1. Rank 1. République

    Southern European Mediterranean

    The brick-and-skylight nave of a former bakery on La Brea sets the stage for one of those all-day operations that actually pulls off both halves. Mornings belong to the pastry counter, where the team's James Beard Award-winning work draws lines before the doors open. By evening the open kitchen is running a Southern European Mediterranean menu for a full dining room that never quite empties.
