LA's Best Croissants 🥐 | A Bakery Worth Waking Up For!

Tucked away in a lovely Burbank neighborhood, Lou, The French On The Block is a genuine French bakery owned and run by a French artisan. 🇫🇷 The pastries here sell out fast, and the line often stretches out the door — but it’s absolutely worth the wait! The street itself has a relaxed, sunny vibe, making it the perfect weekend stop. ☀️ Here’s a taste of what I tried — and loved: 🍋 Lemon Tart ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My personal favorite! Tangy, sweet, and perfectly balanced in a delicate, buttery crust. Just the right size for a bright, refreshing treat. 🍫 Chocolate Croissant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 Flaky, airy, and filled with high-quality chocolate that isn’t overly sweet. This is what a perfect croissant should be! 🍎 Apple Tart ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 No cinnamon — just pure apple goodness! The filling is rich and naturally sweet, wrapped in a crisp, tender pastry. 🍓 Berry Tart ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 Piled high with fresh, juicy berries and a light custard base. Beautiful to look at, even better to eat. 🥐 Apricot Danish ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A classic done right — not too sweet, with a soft, layered pastry and fruity apricot filling. ⚡ Éclair ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 Filled with vanilla cream, though I wished the flavor was a bit more pronounced. Still tasty, but not the star of the show. 📍 Lou, The French On The Block 4007 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA 91505 If you appreciate authentic French pastries made with skill and soul, this is your spot.
