Lodge Bread Company — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I will start by saying that the food here is great, which is why we have been coming back here time and time again. However, our last experience has been subpar. My family was cold and we wanted to get some sun so we tried to close the umbrella to get some heat. As soon as we did that, the “general manager” came out yelling at us to not touch the umbrella. I explained that we want a place with some sun as we are cold. The manager said “you can move the table anywhere you like or we can move it for you, but don’t touch the umbrella.” We found a spot near an electrical room door and figured we will set the table there, in the sun, for the 30 minutes we are having breakfast. After all, this is an electrical room door that really doesn’t need to be opened/closed regularly. It was the only place that had sun that wasn’t blocking the door for the employees or anyone else. As soon as we moved the table there, he came yelling at us again. He then said “please don’t move the tables and leave them when they were at”. Is he kidding? He just told us we can move the tables. He then said that the electrical room needs to be accessed “regularly” and we will be in the way. He then moved us again but this time he placed our food on a dirty table which wasn’t cleaned. When I asked why are you placing our food on a dirty table, he said it’s just “temporary” as I move the tables around. So I guess if you put people’s food on dirty tables TEMPORARILY, it’s ok? We had two different customers walk up to us who witnessed what happened and they both said I should call Culver City (their corporate HQ) and file a complaint. People were shocked at the horrible service. All we wanted is to be in the sun. I guess it was too much to ask for.

P.S. I asked the “general manager” four times for his business card and didn’t receive it. His response was “I am busy and I will get it for you when I can.” After this experience, I am not sure we will be back. It’s very unfortunate, as we definitely like the food. But I don’t appreciate going to a restaurant with my wife and kids and getting yelled at in front of a bunch of...

Very interesting place To visit with super delicious bread, we usually stop by for a coffee next door and maybe had few pastries from here and they were good, nothing special but good. So one day we decided to have breakfast here as we just noticed that they actually have breakfast menu! They have things like avocado toast, shakshuka, tuna panini and maybe few other items. When you walk in it smells amazing with fresh baked bread and yes you absolutely should try their bread! It’s so good! So we ordered tuna melt and avocado toast this time, had a seat outside and within 10 minutes our order was out. Never have we expected the size of the those things! One of those is more than enough for few people and even a kid. Avocado toast had tons and tons of avocado on it, so very filling. Tuna melt was a bit too much I believe, it also had huge amount of tuna, cheese and just was very greasy but obviously super delicious. Chocolate croissant that day could have been better, it had a teeny tiny bit of chocolate and was basically burned, way overcooked. So definitely stop by for their amazing bread and look closer on their menu and discover their amazing breakfast menu, you will not be...

Found a new weekend brunch spot. Fresh out of the oven is an understatement for this location. Each meal is fresh, and the mint lemonade will pucker your cheeks together. I had the "Breakfast," and my guest had the strawberry oatmeal. We tried a couple of other breads and was not disappointed. I give this place two 👍 👍 thumbs up and highly recommend for Saturday or Sunday brunch with friend, partner, or spouse.

Meals average $15-$20 per item, drinks $4-$7. Once you order, expect about 8-10 a minute wait time. But well worth it once you take a bite.

Small order line area, so if 3 or more in the party, I recommend grabbing a menu and having everyone decide prior to arriving to the register.

Parking for all the businesses at this location does require you to scan a barcode on your phone and prefilled cell phone, address, and payment method. On Sunday, Parking is free on the street, and this location does offer parking validation.

Overall outstanding location all the way around. Food, service and outside tables offer an...
