Lou The French On The Block

This place is so cute! There was a bit of a line when I arrived around 10 AM but it went by quickly. I bought the pain au chocolate and a croissant to thank my friends.

I love this place, such a cute, small, cozy spot that delivers big, delicious flavors. I've only ever had the croissants and they are incredible, but hope to try their other menu items soon! Service is great, everyone is happy and super helpful! Absolutely worth the wait for fresh delicious croissants! My absolute favorite is the chocolate almond croissant but you can't go wrong with any of them!

Great pastries! I only tried the croissant and pain au chocolat, but they were both really good. Crispy, buttery as needed. The spot looks cool, a few people were hanging out as you can sit as well. So, If I’m around I will have to try more and enjoy the spot!

Their baked goods are amazing! Can’t wait to return for more. Lou has become one of my favorite bakeries in LA!

Stepping into Lou's bakery is like being transported back to my childhood in Paris. It's a feeling only those who've lived there would understand, like visiting a local boulangerie with the most incredible smells and textures. There's always a line, but it's worth the wait every single time. The chouquettes are an absolute dream, and the croissants are perfection, fluffy, crispy, light, with that perfect buttery flavor, but never greasy. The service is fantastic, super friendly, and always welcoming. When you order your coffee, they add a custom little drawing on it, which just adds to the charm! Lou, the owner, is incredibly nice and welcoming, making every visit a delight. This place is a true gem! If only he opens a spot in San Diego ;)
