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 adjoining Campanile restaurant, began a tradition of European bread-making in L.A. While her dreams have morphed into a massive commercial operation, the original shop continues as a cherished L.A. culinary landmark, offering store-baked 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 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.
