La Brea Bakery Restaurant Review: What began as a diminutive neighborhood bakery has evolved into one of the largest purveyors of artisanal breads and partially-baked dough, supplying fine restaurants across the country. Founder Nancy Silverton, who was also co-founder of now-closed Campanile restaurant, began a tradition of European bread-making in L.A. Her dreams morphed into a massive commercial operation, and the original shop has relocated to this space nearby. Yet La Brea Bakery continues to offer breads, a variety of sweets, olive oils and cheeses. Among the most popular items are La Brea’s sourdough baguette and a fine pain au chocolat. Other specialties may include a pecan tart with a bourbon glaze, sticky toffee pudding and the traditional Italian holiday staple, panettone, in either apricot or cranberry. For cookies, choose among iced raisin, linzer and gingerbread. La Brea Bakery also serves sandwiches and salads.
