Laurent's "Le" Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Culver City

Laurent’s “Le” Coffee Shop is a French bakery cafe right right on Washington Blvd. The owner Jamel is from France and they do everything French style. La Vie En Rose is playing as I’m writing this, and it’s such a peaceful start to my day.

It’s amazing, it’s a typical French place. The people inside are amazing and the hospitality is top notch.

I went with the coffee with almond milk, and the egg scramble with goat cheese and tomatoes, served with a side salad with their house-made vinaigrette.

The canele tasted ok but texture wise it was mushy on the outside instead of crisp.

I'm not sure I'd go back for...

Nice little cafe and bakery. Very boutique feeling.

I have had coffee here a few times and have eaten here a few times. the food is good. Today I came in for a muffin which was also good.

I like the small imperfections of food, the wonderful bliss of finding a great dish or spot and the personal service you get from a small business that really WANTS you...
