Breadologie Bakery — Restaurant in Los Angeles

This is an amazing family-run neighborhood French bakery. It's the real deal.

Start with the breads: Baguettes, brioche, sourdough, wheat, and more. You can't go wrong with any of these. (The thick sliced brioche is perfect for French Toast, but you can use it for anything.) The baguettes are chewy and flavorful, as they were meant to be. Get the refrigerated pizza dough and enjoy the most delicious crust you've ever baked at home.

Don't forget the entrees: Quiche that's buttery and soft. It will elevate your brunches. You might confuse it for a dessert. (But I get ahead of myself.) Lasagna, coq au vin, beef bourguignon.

And of course, splurge on the deserts. There's a wide assortment and they vary from week to week. My favorite at the moment is the decadent chocolate ganache. Don't plan on sharing this, get two.

Pro tip: Go early or order ahead. When they sell out, they're out.

I didn't mention the full menu of coffees and teas that they offer. I'm too focused on the bread and pastries!

Update: Breadologie is now serving dinner on Thursday and Friday nights. Delicious foods with a French twist. The menu changes weekly so be sure to check...

Breadologie is in an unassuming strip mall, with plenty of easy parking in the front. A couple of small tables sit out front for enjoying your purchase. Inside is small and pretty basic, but two display cases sit shining like diamonds with baked goods beckoning. A lovely aroma fills the air inside. On my visit, I picked up a baguette, cinnamon rolls, a couple of vanishes and a couple of croissants. The staff ringing me up might be the low-light of the visit, just a little bored with his job of bagging the breads, so no engagement and pretty basic communication. I took my purchase home to enjoy and I was not at all disappointed. The baguette was soft, fresh and delightful for the sandwich I made. The cinnamon roll was one of the best I've ever had. The type with no icing and more of an orage-y glaze..melted in my mouth with complex flavors. 100% getting that again sometime and so should YOU. Go now! Sorry, I forgot to take any photos. I was too busy enjoying the...

I haven’t visited Breadologie for a few years and upon entering overheard another customer talking to an employee saying ownership changed earlier this year. I can’t recall exactly how the food tasted before but it seems the new owners may not be keeping up with the old quality.

I ordered a croissant, bacon onion cheese pastry, and Vietnamese coffee. Everything is well priced which was nice. About $4-5 each.

The Vietnamese coffee was anything but a Vietnamese coffee. It tasted like a regular iced coffee and creamer.

The bacon onion cheese pastry had a good amount of bacon and the pastry was flaky and moist, but there was hardly any cheese and no taste of onion at all.

The croissant was also just okay. I’ve had worse but also had far better. The exterior was crispy and flaky but the interior was doughy and dense.

Neither pastry was greasy which was nice but that could also mean the lack of butter isn’t giving it tang extra “umph” of...
