Proof Bakery

Crema's Take
“This beloved LA bakery moves a line out the door with impressive speed, thanks to a well-oiled team that balances efficiency with genuine warmth. The real draw is their exceptional pastries and sandwiches (served after 11:30am), but coffee lovers shouldn't sleep on their hojicha and other specialty drinks—perfectly executed and worth the wait. Arrive early to beat the crowds, or embrace the buzz and grab a box of their freshly made morning bakes alongside your carefully crafted cup.”

This bakery is exceptional. Went on a Saturday late morning and found a small line outside but it moved fast and wasn't a long wait. Unassuming location, you can't assume by the exterior or small interior the quality and flavor. We tried the focaccia, bread, croissants, cookies, caramel cornbread cake, tart and pie, and all were delicious. High quality, well made, not too sweet, unique flavors. Definitely worth a trip.
Do NOT and I repeat Do NOT…. Be discouraged by the line 😏. The service is super fast, staff is friendly and the pastries and sandwiches (after 1130) are amazing! I has to hojicha today and it is perfectly sweetened, the salami sandwich is my favorite. We showed up at 9 before heading to the observatory had croissants and then went back for sammies after 🥰.
Been here a few times and have always enjoyed each item ordered from here. Totally worth waiting in line for their bake goods and coffee. They have an efficient way of working to keep the flow of customers satisfied and happy, wait is usually less than 20 minutes. Have tried their chocolate croissant and coffee selection and they were all delicious! I decide to try a slice of their cake today and was debating on their blackberry pistachio cake or their passion fruit chocolate cake. The pistachio obviously won me over cause of the aesthetic appearance of the cake. the taste, 10/10. Definitely would purchase a cake here for a birthday or any celebration occasion for its unique taste and appearance. Inexpensive compared to other private own coffee shops, total for a slice and cup of 12oz iced latte was $14
Proof is my favorite bakery in the world. Excellent food choices and all perfectly executed. The pastries are really on point. My absolute favorite is the salami sandwich, next is the almond financier. The almond croissant is to die for and the chocolate chip cookie is so good. Always a pleasure to stop by
Come before 9am if you don’t want to wait in a long line outside. The pastries are amazing. People usually get a big box of different items. They are all freshly made in the morning. The coffee is delightful as well. Only very limited seating area outside but it’s still a popular local spot. Recommended!
