Fleurs et Sel — Restaurant in Los Angeles

So, I visited Fleur et Sel for the first time today after seeing an Instagram post featuring their unique cookie flavors. Let me just say—they did not disappoint!

There was a small queue to get in, but it moved quickly, and before I knew it, I was at the counter placing my order. With a little patience and guidance from the incredibly friendly staff, I found myself unable to choose… so I walked away with six cookies! 🫃🏾Don’t judge.

Here’s what I got: • Cinnamon Snickerdoodle • London Fog (Earl Grey & Vanilla) • Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Walnut • Pomme Fleure • Coeur Citron Thumbprint • Raspberry Rose Thumbprint

And let me just say—AMAZING!

Here are my top three favorites:

1. Pomme Fleure – More than just a cookie, this was like biting into a freshly baked homemade apple pie. Hands down, the star of the show! It’s perfectly balanced. So good 😩
2. & 3)Coeur Citron Thumbprint & Raspberry Rose Thumbprint – These little shortbreads came highly recommended by the owners, and wow… they were heavenly (seriously, because the word heavenly is not part of my everyday vernacular). lol My mouth literally did a double take when I bit into them. First, an “Mmm,” then a “WOW… Mmm!” The vibrant fruit centers and perfect texture were second to none. I’ve never watched Bridgerton, but I imagine these are the kind of cookies they’d serve at high tea!

Overall, I loved every cookie I tried!

Pro tip: Don’t rush to taste all the flavors at once like I did! Take your time and cleanse your palate between bites—especially for the more nuanced flavored cookies like the London Fog.

Overall, I’ve had some fantastic cookies around LA, but Fleur et Sel is on another level. I feel like they should be given another name because these are much more than “cookies.”

Oh, and get there early—the most popular flavors...

I have visited Fleurs Et Sel Bakery twice now, both times on weekdays, after following the bakery on social media for a while. I was excited to try it because of all the creative cookie combinations and unique flavors that are regularly featured.

Parking in the area is challenging, so it is a good idea to plan ahead. Thankfully, the wait to order was short during both visits—about five to ten minutes. The owner was working alone each time, and although she seemed a little overwhelmed, she was friendly and doing her best to keep things running smoothly.

One important thing to know is that the menu changes daily and weekly, so if you are hoping to try something you saw online, it may not be available that day. That happened to me on both visits, but the variety is a nice way to keep the offerings fresh and seasonal.

I tried the Neapolitan cookie, lemon shortbread, the mini chocolate chip cookies, and several other flavors across both visits. The cookies are full of flavor and made with care. They are also very large and thick, much more than your typical cookie, so the pricing feels fair for what you get.

The only drawback for me was the use of salt. Most of the cookies I tried had salt sprinkled on top. While I know this is a popular trend, I personally prefer my desserts without added salt. I would love to see a few unsalted options available. The one cookie I tried without salt was excellent, and even the salted ones were good in terms of flavor and texture, I just would have enjoyed them more without the extra salt.

Overall, Fleurs Et Sel stands out for its quality, originality, and bold flavors. I will definitely return to see what new creations are on the menu. It is a great spot for anyone who enjoys creative and well...

I've been A HUGE FAN of Fleur et Sel since the days they're still doing weekly cookie drop for pickup at the owner's house, Lara. I witnessed how she's been so faithful in building her business up until it reached the current size, and I couldn't be happier for her finally making her dreams came true setting up her own cookie shop.

Her menu even has expanded massively with tons of awesome new flavors which have continuously amused me and extended my already long list of favorite ones. My forever go-to cookies were their Nutella, PB Nutella, Funfetti, Cookie Butter, Toffee Butterscotch, and doubtlessly the default Sea Salt Chocolate Chip. The cookie texture was just perfect with right level of gooeyness just like how I loved my cookies. The toppings and stuffing were so generous, elevating the overall taste of the already delightful cookie base. Recently she created more inventions beyond cookies as she brought up Funfetti Blondie and 7 Layer Bars, which were just as AMAZING.

My top highlight from this bakery was surely Lara, the owner, who was probably the most welcoming and most genuine person I met, whom I initially met as a cookie seller but now I happily called as a kind-hearted humble friend.

If you say you love cookies but haven't tried Fleur et Sel, you've surely been...
