When I was in my croissant phase, I searched high and low, and I think La Galette has the best croissants in the valley :) This is a wonderful family business and everything is freshly made with some items having a Middle Eastern flair.
The father of the father/son duo can sometimes be a little cantankerous... he incredulously asked me if I even knew what za'atar is?? when I tried to order their za'atar croissant - which by the way, is delicious!
I love supporting a small and local business and you should too, and try them out :) On the weekends they make knafe which is really delicious!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jaime K.Los Angeles, CA6122660Dec 20, 2023
Cute little bakery. The guy I spoke to was very knowledgeable and super nice. I got what is pictured along with mini chocolate croissants , mini jalapeño croissants and almond croissants. DELICIOUS!!! Prices are comparable to Porto's. Parking can be difficult.

La Galette Bakery on Ventura in Sherman Oaks is a hidden gem that promises a delightful journey through the realm of artisanal pastries, sandwiches, and exceptional coffee.

The pastries are a harmonious blend of texture and flavor, transporting you to a world of pure indulgence with every bite.
Accompanying the pastries is a selection of aromatic coffees that showcase the artistry of the barista. The smoothness and richness of the coffee perfectly complement the sweetness of the pastries, creating a symphony of flavors that lingers on the palate.
Although I didn't have the opportunity to sample their sandwiches during my visit, their creations left me eager to return. From stacked fresh ingredients to carefully crafted fillings, the sandwiches at La Galette Bakery are a feast for the eyes and surely a delight for the taste buds. They are a compelling reason to plan a return visit in the near future.

Very friendly family owned bakery, pastry, a breakfast, lunch location to definitely try out! I wanted to order a delicious dessert that also looked beautiful on the table. They are the only place I know that makes this dessert with a delicious custard filling and not whipping cream. Everyone loved the taste and the exterior crunch and decor! Highly recommend trying them out! They have different size's according to your guest count! This small could feed 20 lol but all worth it! Definitely a great choice for parties!

Pastries are good enuf but their customer service is horrible. The owners don't know how to talk to people. And I've never seen anyone lose their ish over parking the way this guy does. His prices aren't consistent...one day one price the next day another....fool me once shame on me....never again!

I have been coming here for about 30 years and they have never disappointed! My favorite is their Knefe on weekends and their croissants are out of this world! Stop by and check them out if you haven't yet and support a small family owned business!
