One of our go-to breakfast places. All the breads are amazing but sourdoughs are the best. Weekend morning and brunch time is usually very busy but it is worth waiting around to get the fantastic shaksuka!
Wow! I was nearby just to charge car up and decided to follow the line to this bakery. Upon approaching Bob, the manager, opened the door and greeted me and others. I asked what he recommended and he led me to this one of a kind tuna (fresh albacore) with spicy sauce(made in-house). He also said they have the best bacon(nueske) in the city so I slapped that on the sandwich. This might be the best sandwich I’ve had to date.
I saved half just to relive the experience(and the fact that I already filled up on the matcha white chocolate chip cookie while I waited just a brief moment for the sandwich). I immediately invited a friend who lived nearby to join me. Oh also I purchased another cookie on the way out for my girlfriend because she wouldn’t like that I had such a great meal without her. :) I’ll be back and will ask Bob what else he’s got! And they have great coffee and a clean restroom(both perfect for the road and traffic in LA).
Good place if you'd like a quick bite and caffeine supplement. danish and almond croissant were good; morning bun and cardamom knots were ok, and I also like their cold brew, flavorful, end with bitter sour, and latte was average.
Amazing bakery!
Gorgeous avocado toast on thick cut bread, delicious radishes on top. My partner got the big breakfast and loved it too.
Also the cookies are amazing, service is great and super friendly. Thanks so much!
The bread is sublime. Crunch outside, soft and very chewy on the inside. Exactly what you want from an independent bakery. They honored my request to sub a baguette for their regular bread on the turkey sandwich.
Our favorite brunch spot and to-go bakery. Their bread and pastries are 🔥👌🏻. Alex is super great, always friendly with great hospitality.
When it comes to croissants, Lodge Bread is my favorite in LA. It's not an easy pick, since the competition is fierce; and it's a pretty personal choice. I prefer Lodge because their croissants are made with sourdough. Oh yeah, delicious, mouthwatering sourdough.
Lodge's sourdough croissants have a crunchy crust and the bottom part doesn't get soggy, the texture feels hearty. Lodge's croissants are huge, heavy, filling, and the aromatic sourdough gets me every single time.
I visited Lodge Bread in Culver City four times and tried all four croissant variations every shop makes: butter, chocolate, almond, ham and cheese. I gotta say the plain one is still my favorite, for the pure sourdough taste. I also like the chocolate croissant since sourdough goes pretty well with dark chocolate. The ham cheese croissant, on the other hand, doesn't stand out with its caked cheese, cold ham and 6.5 price tag.
Lodge Bread offers a lot more than croissants. Its pastry menu includes cinnamon roll, banana and coffee cakes, bread pudding, monkey cake, and cookies. Moreover, it has a full menu of wood fired pizza, toasts, and sandwiches. Last but not least, it's called Lodge Bread for a reason: it makes delectable sourdough bread: country, seeded, olive, baguette, as well as a rotating menu of daily specials. I once had an onion & fennel loaf, and relished the unique flavor.
I’ve been to Lodge Bread Co a bunch of times, and it’s got this great community vibe that I just can’t get enough of. Their sourdough is the real deal – all organic and natural. They whip up everything in-house, from amazing pizzas to pita that’s just spot on. I make it a point to grab their country loaf whenever I can; it’s sourdough at its best. They’ve got more space now, which means chilling out with a coffee and their brunch is my new weekend ritual. The place is laid-back, the food’s awesome without trying too hard, and that bread? Can’t beat it. Definitely my go-to spot in Culver City.
Food is yummy but exp (20$ for a sandwich). Love the shakshuka and chai latte
Service seems to be whatever- our food kept getting brought to the wrong table.
Cozy environment, reasonable price. Polite employees. Usually super busy on weekend, but still very nice place to go for brunch.
I love their smoked pastrami, highly recommended.
