Good balance of flavors in sauces.

I enjoy how the food feels both comforting and creative.

Our table had enough space.

This place is so cute! There was a bit of a line when I arrived around 10 AM but it went by quickly. I bought the pain au chocolate and a croissant to thank my friends.

I love this place, such a cute, small, cozy spot that delivers big, delicious flavors. I've only ever had the croissants and they are incredible, but hope to try their other menu items soon! Service is great, everyone is happy and super helpful! Absolutely worth the wait for fresh delicious croissants! My absolute favorite is the chocolate almond croissant but you can't go wrong with any of them!

I literally spent months looking for a good croissant across LA. I had given up hope, until
I came across Lou’s. Easily the best almond and chocolate almond croissants in the city. There is always a line because it is so good but the line always moves quickly. A+ for Lou

The line was only five deep at 9am on a Friday. I had an almond chocolate croissant, a pear & almond tart and a plain croissant. Everything was unbelievably delicious and I can't wait to go back.

Great pastries! I only tried the croissant and pain au chocolat, but they were both really good. Crispy, buttery as needed.

The spot looks cool, a few people were hanging out as you can sit as well.

So, If I’m around I will have to try more and enjoy the spot!

The best croissants in LA — honestly, I like it better than CAR or other croissant places I’ve tried. Their latte is huge which is perfect for an exhausted mom like me lol I just wish I lived closer but when I have the time, I make the 30 min drive to get the perfect croissant

Being French when I give a 5 star rating to a French bakery, it says it all. I tried the flan, almond chocolate croissant, financier, chausson aux pommes, baguette, pain aux raisins Everything was absolutely delicious!!

Can't recommend this place more. A line forms in the morning, so get there early, it's worth the wait.
