Bread Lounge

Los Angeles

Bakery

$$$$

Headed up by Ran Zimon, who's been baking his whole life (and you can tell), Bread Lounge is an Arts District hotspot whipping up exceptional loaves of bread, baguettes, ciabatta, European-style pastries, and a ton of other carb-loaded delights. Some must-tries? The oblong-shaped Jerusalem bagel, the almond Danish, and the Balkan-style böreks, which are puff pastries stuffed with savory fillings. You'll want to chow down on the back patio, and then grab a loaf of fig and walnut or potato rosemary bread to take home with you.
