🥐 Heard This Is LA’s #1 Pastry Shop | The Famous Lou

This week, I finally visited the much-hyped Lou, the French on the block — a spot so exclusive, it’s only open Friday through Sunday! Drove 40 minutes based on rave reviews, and… no regrets! 📍 Lou 4007 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA 91505 I pre-ordered online a week ahead for pickup 🗓️ Arrived just before 12 PM on Friday — not too crowded, barely any line. 💡 Pro tip: If you pre-order, you can skip the line and grab your goodies straight from the counter! The shop is pretty small, with just a few tables outside. Here’s what I tried: Plain Croissant – Beautifully laminated, buttery, flaky ✅ Chocolate Almond Croissant – Tasted like almond meal was mixed into the base — a bit dense but flavorful Mixed Berries Danish – Fresh, tangy-sweet berries balanced perfectly with the pastry 👌 The pastries here are a bit smaller than those at Artisanal Goods by CAR, but both spots are top-tier — highly recommend! If you’re a pastry lover in LA, Lou is worth the drive and the planning 🚗💨 #LouPastries #LAEats #FrenchPastry #CronutLove #BurbankEats #WeekendTreats
