This bakery is exceptional. Went on a Saturday late morning and found a small line outside but it moved fast and wasn't a long wait. Unassuming location, you can't assume by the exterior or small interior the quality and flavor. We tried the focaccia, bread, croissants, cookies, caramel cornbread cake, tart and pie, and all were delicious. High quality, well made, not too sweet, unique flavors. Definitely worth a trip.

Do NOT and I repeat Do NOT…. Be discouraged by the line 😏. The service is super fast, staff is friendly and the pastries and sandwiches (after 1130) are amazing! I has to hojicha today and it is perfectly sweetened, the salami sandwich is my favorite. We showed up at 9 before heading to the observatory had croissants and then went back for sammies after 🥰.

I arrived at proof during a very lax 1:30pm service time. I have very much enjoyed their foods and beverages for a while now when brought over to me by friends and family but have never been there in person. Having said, as I walked in I mistakenly held my dog and took her in with me not knowing how enforced service dog rules were. I was first met with a lady manning the baked food section as she enforced these rules and that the dog must stay outside. My dog not being a service dog I was not going to able to purchase anything with my dog present with me. Feeling embarrassed I asked a fellow stranger with a dog to watch my dog while I make an order and come back. Thankfully she obliged and I was able to return back inside without my dog. I was again met with the lady manning the baked food section. I had hoped that I would be greeted in a more welcoming fashion as I had complied and returned but when met with the same standoffish energy I was taken aback. I’d hoped to get a baked good and a beverage. Having never been there before and with very few customers for me to mirror, my confused self headed towards the tablet. We locked eyes and as she asked what I wanted and I became flustered. She insisted she take my order for a beverage too. Each order was met with a blank heavy stare. Feeling rushed and confused I did not feel comfortable nor welcome to enjoy and experience the best of what proof had to offer. The 1 star rating today represents the feeling that I had left with on service. I’d felt embarrassed and ashamed for making a mistake and not being knowledgeable enough. It does not reflect badly on their quality of food.

Both coffee and pastries are small and overpriced. Tried biscuit and scone, they were dry.

Great pastries. Personal preference is that I prefer savory options than sweets.

The staff seemed like they wanted to be anywhere but, and the coffee was overpriced for the small size.

Proof bakery is one of the best in Los Angeles. It’s a great place to bring friends, family and people visiting from out of town. I love chocolate croissant and always get one when I can. The staff is very welcoming and friendly.
Proof has established itself as one of the best bakeries in LA. Not only that I love that it is a cooperative. It goes without saying that their croissant and other pastries easily rival that of other celebrated places like Fondry and CAR. The real hidden secret though are the cakes. I have long lusted after them but not had an excuse to buy one. I bought a chocolate passion fruit cake for my wife's birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal. Beautiful and simple presentation with fresh flowers, perfect finish and most importantly stellar flavours. Not too sweet, not too bitter, not too rich but also very moist. Try the cakes, you won't be disappointed!

Been here a few times and have always enjoyed each item ordered from here. Totally worth waiting in line for their bake goods and coffee. They have an efficient way of working to keep the flow of customers satisfied and happy, wait is usually less than 20 minutes.
Have tried their chocolate croissant and coffee selection and they were all delicious! I decide to try a slice of their cake today and was debating on their blackberry pistachio cake or their passion fruit chocolate cake. The pistachio obviously won me over cause of the aesthetic appearance of the cake. the taste, 10/10. Definitely would purchase a cake here for a birthday or any celebration occasion for its unique taste and appearance. Inexpensive compared to other private own coffee shops, total for a slice and cup of 12oz iced latte was $14

Proof is my favorite bakery in the world. Excellent food choices and all perfectly executed. The pastries are really on point. My absolute favorite is the salami sandwich, next is the almond financier. The almond croissant is to die for and the chocolate chip cookie is so good. Always a pleasure to stop by

Great bakery! Great coffee! Really inconsistent service. I go a lot. Some people are friendly and nice but quite a few are just terrible. Bad mood, super bad vibes. It’s shocking they collectively think this is ok and don’t address it.
Awesome place
