La Brioche Argentine Bakery — Restaurant in Orem

As someone who grew up in Argentina I often come over to get something last minute. I can make all this food and more at my own home but sometimes time gets in the way and I need something fast. I came in during a week day at 6 PM (one hour before they close) and I wanted 1 1/2 Dozen of empanadas to feed my 4 children. At my request I was informed I could not get more than one dozen because if I wanted more I needed to call at least a day ahead. I was baffled. The lady had just come out with two huge trays filled with empanadas that would have fulfilled my order 3 times. That has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I mean I can assure you my money is as green and legit as the next client’s. And my order was not an exorbitant amount, it was just 6 more pieces. Being in Utah for years I have heard all the bad reviews about this place. But this is a new one. To be fair I have never been treated poorly here but I think business is business. I have never heard of an establishment that limits the amount of product they sell when I can see they have it on hand. Maybe the order threshold needs to be raised to more than 5 dozen... one dozen is a meager amount and you should think of the customer’s convenience not your own. I guess it’s time to look elsewhere.

3 years later and they are still 3rd world country mentality... I wanted sandwich de miga de verdura, so I wanted to order ahead and ask that they do not put ham in them. Well apparently that is way too much trouble to leave the ham out so they can't do it even though I would have paid the same price. Idiots in America is...

Bakery without bread, you have to call in advance if you want bread.... highly disappointed. I've known this place for years and years, even before the last remodel and even when they got a branch in Salt Lake City. The bread is ok, but you need to be very lucky to get some, and if you need more than 3 lbs, then they won't sell it to you. I've only gone to this place whenever I'm close to it. Since I live more than 20 miles away, it's frustrating not being able to get their products. Once, I was told by the front lady that there was no bread and that the reason was that "the baker also have a social life". How do you think I could understand this? BAKERY WITHOUT BREAD IS NO BAKERY AT ALL. They have lost a customer, and never again. UPDATE: 04/18/2023 It only took six years to get a reply. Regardless, it was not an isolated event. The same lack of bread happened many times throughout the year. Anyways, thanks for the good days, and for all the bad ones I prefer to forget and forgive....

La Brioche Argentine Bakery is a hidden gem for authentic Argentine cuisine! From the moment we walked in, the aroma of freshly baked pastries and the sight of Argentine sports playing on the screens made us feel right at home.

The food was absolutely delicious! I had the canelones de ricotta y espinaca, which were rich and flavorful. My son enjoyed the gnocchi, perfectly soft and paired with a great sauce, and topped it off with a classic flan for dessert. My daughter-in-law had milanesa with fried eggs and potato salad, a hearty and satisfying meal, while my granddaughter loved her hotdog.

We couldn’t leave without grabbing a dozen facturas, which were fresh and delicious! The bakery also offers yerba mate, Argentine cookies, condiments, and so many other traditional goodies—a perfect place to stock up on favorites from Argentina.

Whether you’re craving a home-style meal or just looking for the best pastries around, La Brioche delivers. We’ll...
