La Favorita Bakery — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Update Dec 21 2021 - You can now go inside, get a tray, and pick out your own bread. They did a really nice job putting up an enclosure so the cashier has to buzz you in depending on how busy it is. They get +1 star.

Update Dec 2021 - Conchitas were good this time around, fresh and warm. They are now .40 cents each and you don't have to buy them pre-packaged, you can buy single ones. The bread selection was disappointing this time, and this was a weekday before 7pm so I'm not sure what the deal is.

update: Nov 2020 - they sell Conchita that are couple days old... One day old I can maybe understand but these were more hard and most likely 2 or more days old. To management: Please don't sell old conchitas, and if you do, at least let the customer know and then they can decide whether they want them.

Update: 6/2020 Due to covid regulations, they only allow one customer at a time, you can't pick out your own bread, instead you order what you want with the cashier. Also, their famous Conchitas are now 50 cents each and are sold pre-packaged. So if you just want to buy $1 or $2 worth of Conchitas don't bother, the least you can buy is a $5 container. No longer can you get them warm fresh off the oven. 😩

they got the best mini conchas in LA, and their rosca de reyes is also really really good.. my advice order a couple days before to...

Depending on the time of day you arrive it can be extremely busy or empty. Parking can become an obstacle course as well. As you enter the bakery ring the doorbell and the cashier's will buzz you in. The tray and tongs are immediately on the right. Walk towards the bread and choose to your liking. Credit/Debit cards are accepted. Fifty cents charge to use the credit card.

This bakery is famous for the conchitas (mini conch bread). Two flavors to choose vanilla or chocolate. They also carry an assortment of different breads.

The law of the land in this bakery is usually the carts sitting in the open is fresh bread that has been just taken out of the oven. The bread sitting in the windows are perhaps a day or two to earlier that day from the oven. They also have bolillos (French bread). Cakes can be seen sitting the fridge. Last minute milk? They have it as well.

Lots of changes...

BE CAREFUL! If you don't eat foods with pork (or if youre kosher) DO NOT buy bread here. I had my charola full of bread, and then asked the panadero if they add lard to their bread and he came back and said ALL bread including the bolillos have "Manteca de puerco", unfortunately we had to purchase the bread we got in our charola because its their policy that you can't put it back.

You're bread is good but deberían tener un anuncio para la gente que no...
