Papillon International Bakery — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Unique Bakery - definitely worth visiting!

Randomly found this place on a Google Search while in Northridge, CA. Upon arrival, we were greeted by what appeared to be (key point - our perspective) a somewhat short customer greeting. The food on display looked like it had been there for some time, and we almost left!

The shop was really unique and we looked around at all the different things it had to offer, and noticed that some individuals were sitting and waiting, while others were coming in and picking up orders. There was a constant flow of customers and calls coming in, so we figured there has to be something special about this place.

We decided we were going to try the custard filled donut (not the proper name, sorry!) And the lady behind the counter told us it would be ten minutes. I was like, "hold on, are you making this fresh?" Her response, "yes..." So I asked her, "do you make everything fresh??" And she said, "yes, except for some of the pre-packaged items". Well then my friends, this was a game changer for us! We ended up ordering several items including a meat stuffed Flatbread, a pizza flavored savory pie like item, the custard filled donut as well as a regular donut.

They have several very well spaced out tables, all with unique coffee table books and a beautiful mural on one wall. The entire vibe was unique and funky. All the items we tried were delicious, and we will definitely be going back!

Another thing to note was that they used fresh oil to deep fry their food... I can tell when places keep re-using old oil. With old oil items are darker and the oil seeps into the food and you can taste it. We the items we bought from here, the...

I had two absolutely dreadful experiences at Papillon bakery in Northridge. Both instances left me extremely disappointed and inconvenienced. The first incident occurred two weeks ago when I called ahead to place an order while driving to the store, hoping to save myself some time. However, nobody picked up the phone, forcing me to visit the store in person. To my dismay, the phone continued to ring unanswered while the representative stood there, seemingly oblivious. I wasted precious time waiting to place my order, resulting in a 30-minute delay and making me late for an important meeting.

Unfortunately, my second encounter was just as appalling. Today, I had thought I could trust Papillon bakery again, so I placed an order for pickup at 8:30 in the morning. However, upon arrival, my order was not ready. The staff informed me that they had misplaced the order slip, causing further delays and inconveniences.

These experiences have left me deeply dissatisfied and questioning the reliability and professionalism of Papillon bakery in Northridge. I do not recommend this establishment if you value punctuality and...

I can't rate food because I didn't get any. Today While I was on the way for work I was looking for a bakery and after checking few places in the area something about this bakery caught my attention. Once I parked , I walked along the sidewalk and looks like everything was closed but luckily wasn't. After checking few items I told the lady what I wanted, I ended up getting a small bread, it was delicious, small but tasty $ 2.50. I believe it was a Cheese borek, and is not about the quantity but the quality. I was actually thinking about Napoleon but I don't like crumbs falling around the car while driving, I believe Napoleon is best if it's enjoyed at home with a warm cup of coffee. However I was really thinking to get a khachapurri for my lunch but the problem is that they don't have , we have to let them know like 15 or 20 minutes in advance so they can make it for u, including some other meals from the menu, if anyone is interested make sure to give them a call ahead Everything looks delicious, including the pastry which is like baklava and some other with...
