Orange Cream Puff and Strawberry Tart are really good
Been eating from tartine origin bakery in SF, gladly waiting in line for the impeccable pastries. Loved it when it so briefly opened as Manufactory in RowDTLA and as they’ve opened up all over LA…so, for me there’s no doubting the products, though it has for sure lost its taste soul. generic and unchangeable corporate soundtrack (of shite) blaring out algorithmic blandness, set to just loud enough to be irritating, is a little baffling to me. But more baffling was the unspeakably hostile barista - who, weirdly enough was pretty mean last time I was there. I could literally feel his contempt - manifesting as acute indifference - rolling off him in waves. Erm, what did I do to offend..?! But then I watched his treatment of other customers and he’s just the same. The rest of the staff are again completely indifferent, humorless and disconnected - less hostile perhaps. So, next time I find myself having to shell out $100+ for my family outing, I’ll just go to Proof, Milo & Olive, Sqrl, god knows there’s a million other personably run, beautiful and original bakeries in this city. My mistake. I’m the sucker.

Excellent for brunch. Quite expensive but the quality is there. Very good avocado toast.

Soooo expensive. Bad service. Always one guy for a long line both taking orders and grabbing items. Food is way overpriced. $7 for a croissant??!! Please. And they still expect a tip. Skip this place. It’s basically price gouging for mediocre food.

STICK TO THE PASTRIES + BREAD!! This is the least overwhelming location I’ve been to but also the worst. Service was lackluster and the food compared to its price point was criminal. You could taste the burnt espresso in the latte, while it’s like $1.50 extra for oat milk?! I had to clean my own table and retrieve my own drinks from the counter because the staff was just chatting in the corner.

I come here for the bread, which is a solid OKAY BUT NOT AMAZING; this location is closest to me and I can buy huge bags of my favorite ground beans next door at sightglass so that explains why I come here; but what kind of bakery that sells whole loaves of bread doesn't have any option to slice them, then looks at you like (AND SPEAKS TO YOU AS IF) you are stark raving mad for asking. Yes, slicing bread, that's such an insane request, right, what's next, asking for coffee beans to be brewed, or cold food to be heated? The audacity! Maybe most of the people who come here are hotel guests or nearby restaurants, so for some reason maybe they thought they would never receive a request to slice a loaf of bread, but I know it's possible at other locations, so it's unique to this location, but it's their fault not mine, yet rather than apologetic they're rude.
Food was excellent. Jambon sandwich was great. I asked for hot sauce and the diva at cashier tried to charge me $2 additional for it. I asked him what planet he was on and he said “Planet Hollywood”. It was very entertaining but yeah 2 stars for $2 siracha.
Paid $50 for a sandwich and an avocado toast.

Great food but quite overpriced.
Amazing coffee and pastries. I highly recommend their croissants- super flaky and made to perfection.

So kind! The staff gave me extra bacon, and even turned my brother’s tea into a London fog for no charge! Awesome! This place deserves your buisness!

The sourdough bread is great. The price of $14/loaf should include the option of having it sliced, right? Nope, not here. It is One of the best breads in the city. Being Italian and Coming from Toronto where there are so many great bakeries, L.A was tough to find decent quality bread w healthy ingredients at the grocery stores. Tartine solved that. Here is the issue, for a full loaf, which costs $14 USD now, they don't slice the bread. Even the average bakery has a slicer. Please consider equipping your locations with slicers. It doesn't seem reasonable to have to buy the half loaf $10 x 2 = $20 to get them sliced. Bring your patience to wait and find parking here.

Dropped by Tartine for a meeting/work session and to grab lunch. We came at the perfect time, no line, lots of tables and spaces (minimal outlets) but overall great place to grab a coffee or lunch and chat with a friend. The pasty display is gorgeous and there is a ton of variety. We got salmon lox and a green goddess salad with chicken (which was cooked and seasoned perfectly) a simple spot with the focus on the quality of the food - which is outstanding.

We had a last minute meeting at the office nearby. Our director loves everything Tartine so the decision to have a small Tartine breakfast spread was a no brainer. I called and talked to Jony, the manager, about the size and scope of a potential order. Jony was professional, courteous, and had a full grasp of the scope of our order for about 10-12. Jony gave me his number and told me to feel free to reach him any time once I figured out the order. Later that day, I sent a message to Jony and worked with him on an order that satisfied our meeting. When I arrived at 8am, my order was nearly ready to go. I grabbed the freshly baked pastries and yogurt and chia pudding cups. By that time, my order was in bags and ready to go. Its safe to say this order was a complete success. Everyone raved about the delicious pastries, chia pudding, quiche, and toast and jam. The potatoes, eggs, and bacon was an extra detail we included that made everyone feel right at home. Jony went above and beyond to make this order happen. He really saved the day, thank you very much to Jony and the rest of the team at this location. I look forward to coming in for a morning bun soon!
