this place is awesome! love the staff super cool & friendly. The BEST croissants & baguettes! I love their loaf of bread too but it takes me 4ever to finish and its gets really hard, but thats the life of a single person 🥲. Get there early bc the lines is so long and they'll be no seating available.

I usually stop by in the mornings since it’s close to home. The sourdough bread, when it’s fresh out of the oven, is honestly amazing, super flavorful and crusty, but yesterday I picked up a loaf and it was really disappointing. It looked oddly shaped, the crust was way too hard and the inside was dry. Not what I expected from this place, especially since I’ve been here many times.

Still giving it 3 stars because most of the time it’s good and convenient but I hope that was just a one off

The tuna sandwich described when ordered online was nothing like what they gave me (no jalapenos, no mustard, not on challah) so very unprofessional to have people pay for something they arent getting. and what I did get tasted very average

I come here somewhat regularly and love it, but the thing driving me to write a review (as someone who doesn't write many) is what a lovely job they did this morning taking care of me when I put in a big order of pastries and coffee to bring to my workplace as a thank-you. They really went out of their way to make sure I had the whole kit and caboodle when it was so early I wasn't thinking straight yet-- not just the box of coffee and box of pastries but cups of three kinds of milk in a carrier, sugar packets, stirrers, napkins, cups, lids, I was really set. Everyone at the office was thrilled with the quality of the pastries and coffee, too-- definitely a special treat above the usual. Of course I got one of their berry danishes for myself-- I'm not generous enough to leave that to chance!

Absolutely love this place for their pastries and bread alone. My favorite pastry is the Swedish cardamom bun, and their sourdough bread is fantastic as well. When I want something savory I go for their simple everything bagel that gets the job done. I don’t normally get the coffee here, as the times I’ve been there they only seem to have drip. The staff is also always very friendly. I really like this place for the vibes. Very simple straight forward cafe, bakery, and unpretentious vibes, which can be a rarity here in LA.

You’ve got to try the cream bun!

Quality went downhill. Size of the ham in “ham & cheese” croissant shrunk 2 fold since we had it 6 months ago. Underserving your customers is a bad practice, clark street bakery.

I didn't intend to write a review for this bakery/coffee shop, as I wanted to gatekeep, but I have to share the love. Clark Street embodies the low-key and cool vibes that I truly appreciate. The music is great, the employees are friendly and polite. The service was quick, which was a plus. I noticed they handle a lot of takeout orders, which speaks volumes. I also appreciate the mix of customers--it's not overrun by trendy TikTokers but neighborhood regulars.

We had the Swedish Cinnamon Bun, Croissant, Avocado Toast, Grilled Cheese, and latte, all of which were delicious and made for the perfect Saturday lunch. And the prices are reasonable--thank you, Clark Street.
I'm definitely giving Clark Street 5 stars. See you soon!
Peace and love,

Pastries are delicious. ( Swedish cinnamon bun, and Bostock) Been meaning to come to this bakery and it did not disappoint.

We love a good place with delicious pastries and coffee but what makes it even better is the customer service! Thank you Luis, everytime I come in he greets me with my name and is always very kind. -Yubi trippin

Go to the Clark Street at Larchmont Village instead, the staff here are weirdly rude and dismissive.
The food is excellent, it's always been great quality, but after being talked down to for just checking if an order at the bar was mine or not, truly don't see a reason to come back to this specific location. I asked because my friend ordered a bagel with cream cheese, and it took almost 10 minutes without it being rush hour?
Even the cashier just didn't seem like they wanted to be there. Coming from a barista, I know it's tiring having to talk to dozens of people everyday, but attitude and dismissiveness was completely unwarranted. Like mentioned, Larchmont Village has much friendlier staff, go there !

Pastries are bomb, I order ahead and they’ve never messed up my order. Cool outdoor sitting area. No complaints.
