🍰 Finally Seeing Through the Hype

I’d been wanting to try this place for so long — but after visiting, I have to say: it’s just okay. I expected a cozy café with seating, but the shop is actually pretty small and narrow — barely enough room for two people to pass each other comfortably. Here’s what I tried: 🧁 Canelés These were a letdown. The bottoms were completely sunken, and though the sides were crispy, they had a noticeable oily taste. 🍂 Earl Grey Canelés The best of the bunch — but still too moist inside. Maybe a little more baking time would’ve helped, though that might’ve ruined the crisp shell. 🍫 Milk Chocolate Tigré Forgettable. All I remember is an overly rich chocolate filling and a basic pound cake texture — nothing special. 🟢 Pistachio Raspberry Financier Extremely oily with no real pistachio flavor — completely overpowered by the raspberry. The crust wasn’t crispy at all — tasted more like a mini pound cake. 🫐 Blueberry Cream Scone The scone itself was fine — tender and moist — but slathered with blueberry cream cheese, it just wasn’t worth $5. Felt like something I could easily make at home. 💭 Overall impression: They’re not shy with the oil — but it’s not high-quality butter. You won’t taste that rich, aromatic butter flavor here. 📍 Brown Bag Cookies 3450 Wilshire Blvd Ste 106, Los Angeles, CA 90010 Sometimes the hype is just… hype. #LAEats #DessertReview #NotWorthTheHype #Canelé #SconeLife #HonestFoodDiary
