brown bag cookies

可麗露和奶油夾心的司康好吃！

I think I found my favorite bakery in LA

Such an underrated spot! This bakery has a soft spot in my heart. Every dessert I’ve gotten is so good and every time I visit there’s always new creations for me to try. The owner is so sweet and I can really sense the love that goes into the sweet treats. Please go here, you won’t regret!

Oh my goodness! Absolutely lovely display of delicious dainty financiers, Madelines, kabocha pie, pound cakes, cream puffs and cakes. My absolute favorite was the Canelé. It has the perfect crisp on the outside! For those who say that it’s burnt, it’s not and it’s supposed to look like that to give the right texture and taste. Even in France customers think it’s burnt or have chocolate flavor but it’s the way it’s supposed to be baked. There’s a lot of fake Canelé in LA. Got a box to take to a meeting! It was a hit! Will come back for more! Now I’ll frequent this Starbucks location so that I can drop by brown bag cookies! Will definitely come back for thanksgiving and Christmas gifts for clients. Their pastries are better than Republique, Pitchon or Louie Bottega for sure. The bakery is a take out place, no place to sit. It’s located on the other side (near parking lot, next to Starbucks). Gift card is available! Regarding the one star review mentioning how they gave him cheap carton box because he’s Mexican, pay no attention, I always get the same box he posted and I am Korean. They’re not biased lol.

All the reviews were so good, I was excited to try this. Maybe I went on a bad day but most things were super dry. I tried the pound cake, financier, earl grey thing with chocolate and a cookie. The cookie seemed a little bit fresher than the rest. Service was good so I bumped it to 3 stars.
