The Village Bakery and Cafe

I stopped by for brunch with a friend and was surprised by the carnitas breakfast burrito—it was stuffed with tender meat and crispy potatoes. Their sourdough bread was baked in-house and tasted fresh. They offer iced coffee in mason jars, which felt homey. There's a community bulletin board for local events. Affordable and unhurried—great small-town vibe

Really amazing food and bakery. One of my favorite places in LA

Amazing breads and croissants. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Delicious coffee.

I was excited to see new vegan items on the menu this spring but even more excited to taste them, and the custom tea lattes are simply wonderful.

I spent a week in Atwater and it took one day for the staff to know my order. Everyone is super friendly and the food is delicious. Try the house-made granola bar. Best I’ve ever had!

They have really good desserts

Great food. Great location. I used to stumble in here hungover for a breakfast sandwich. Now I stumble in here tired with a toddler and order her waffles.

Amazing brunch spot.

not to be dramatic but this is the best cafe in LA (and their gluten free toast and treats are incredible)

Excellent baked goods and nice, helpful staff.

For the price, I was hoping the food would be better. :/ Undercooked & underseasoned... Just mid diner breakfast vibes. My husband & I barely ate our food & ended up getting food elsewhere afterwards... Just a waste of money, sadly. The coffee was excellent though! The staff was nice & the restaurant was clean. The place seems like a coffee place to hang with your friends or have a chill business/creative meeting but I would NOT recommend the food.

Just had a terrible experience at this bakery. Some of the pastries I got had texture and sweetness that were off. I looked at the previous reviews and saw that they had a lot of gluten free and vegan options. Im not saying that they were bad but my pallet is not used to gluten free and vegan sweets.

The problem was that none of the pastries on display had any signage with the name or price. I should have known better when I saw duplicates of the same item. Since I didn’t know the names, I had to point to each item but the cashier never brought it up that they were vegan/gluten free. Without the names, the cashier also had a lot of difficulty finding the items to charge. At this point there was a big line behind me.
