In search of a good assortment of croissants? In Los Angeles? Not the hinterlands? That includes savory as well as sweet choices? And flaky, properly created authentic to the original French (not Tasmanian, for example) icon? At hours that normal folks can visit? Below the price of $10 a piece? In a clean and friendly environment? Where you can buy, let's say, two dozen pieces on the spot, to take to an upscale event?
Good luck! They are scarcer than crow's teeth here. With a full week of scrolling and swiping I have finally found a couple that satisfy most of these criteria, i.e., clean, friendly, good schedule, good variety, well priced, high quality and authentic, and in a lovely reachable neighborhood too.
On a dismal gray February day, leaping between downpours, we made our way to Village French Bakery and feel our selecting this pastry emporium amid the hundreds of others that failed our checklist was truly justified.
I want to take a couple of dozen of the best French-style pastries to a morning event taking place soon, and I don't want all of them to be sweet, as this is a breakfast gig and a lot of people no longer want a sugar high first thing in the morning. (It is such an American thing to throw sugar --- or worse, high fructose corn syrup [yech] into every meal element. Do people now sprinkle their over-easies with granules too? Just saying ...)
There is only one tiny thing that bothers me here and everywhere else: there is very little in-store stock of croissants (not cakes and other delicious dessert items like cake-- see my pictures) at almost any time of day past 7 am. Bummer. At least one can get to Village French easily (right off the 5 freeway) and we can order by phone a few days in advance for pickup. I am not sure why this is, other than, pastries don't hold up well sitting for days on a shelf and bakeries, as elegant and exquisite as they can be, like this one, have small profit margins. OR, their croissants are so amazingly good that they sell out immediately, every single day.
In any case, they are doing us a service and since I am grateful this bakery exists at all, I will not complain. I feel lucky to have found it.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Kara U.Glendale, CA02Mar 4, 2024
Pastry is very dry and old, no customer service no respect towards customers. I regret coming here. This will be the first and the last time I ever set foot in this bakery.
Workers are very toxic. Won't recommend anyone.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lolita N.Glendale, CA28105105Oct 22, 2023Updated review

I really liked going there in the mornings to enjoy my coffee with my friends but the cashiers attitude it's really disgusting. No customer service at all. It's very toxic environment inside the bakery.

Everything they sell at this bakery is beyond tasty !!! I love their coconut cake the most. Its delicious, moist and fresh every day! You know what the best part is ? They can make cakes gluten free upon order ! I recently changed my diet to gluten free and having such a great gluten free cake as an option is beyond exciting! The attached pictures are all gluten free cake and to be honest it tastes exactly the same !!!

Absolute gem of a bakery! Nestled in a neighborhood with parking to the left of the building!
I always come on the weekend to grab a raisin roll to eat with my coffee and a baguette to chomp on for the rest of the week. My daughter likes the ham and cheese croissants here as well!
They also have a case filled with cakes and fruit tarts to the side.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nate B.Burbank, Los Angeles, CA1109925Nov 17, 2023
One of our go-tos for years. Today we had the roulette and Oreo cheesecake. Big fan of their chocolate chip cookies. And I love getting the Paris Brest for my birthday cake

I stopped by here on the way to a friends gathering to pick up a cake and was not disappointed. They have many options ranging from classic chocolate cake to tiramisu. They also have single serve options if you want to grab a pastry and coffee. Service was also very friendly. I went with the chocolate cake which was the perfect size for party of 8. Really liked the mouse filling inside and the thin layer of ganache on top. Location is great too in the middle of Kenneth village. There is street parking and an adjacent lot.
Will be back to try more pastries and the coffee!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
