Fondry
4703 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“This intimate Highland Park gem operates with intentional scarcity—only eight people allowed inside at a time—which somehow adds to its allure rather than detracting from it. The real draw here is the pastry program, where buttery croissants and creative seasonal items like apple and sesame tarts arrive fresh enough to justify showing up early, and reviewers consistently compare the quality to Parisian bakeries. It's the kind of place where the line outside is a feature, not a bug, and where you'll find yourself planning your next visit before you've even finished the one you're on.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Soooo delicious! Reminds me of Parisian bakeries with the charm, and quality & freshness of the pastries. And the croissants are incredible. Went on a Sunday and the wait wasn’t bad at all. The line moves quickly and they replenish the pastries often.
date of visit: 6/1/2025 (Sunday) Arrived at 8:55 AM and there were about 10–15 people already in line. The store opened right on time at 9:00 AM, and I placed my order by 9:09 AM. I received my pastries immediately, but the coffee took a bit longer—around 9:22 AM—since there…
