Random Review: The City Bakery LA
February 17th, 2006
I’m in LA for the long weekend, and I finally made it over to The City Bakery in Brentwood. Since I’m here, and I have my laptop and cellular Internet, I thought that I would share:
The City Bakery LA verdict? Good, but incomplete.
The Good:
- Actual food foods (as in not dessert): nice selection, including salmon, their classic Mac & Cheese, and even a fruit bar (scary to me).
- The Classic City Bakery Hot Chocolate. Rich, viscous, and oh-so-good.
- Decor: Nice, airy, clean atmosphere…and they have laminated cork tables. I heart cork.
- The Melted Chocolate Chip cookies. Pricey at $3, but excellent.
Needs Improvement:
- No Cold Hot Chocolate on the menu. But then again, it’s not rocket science to make. Ask for a cup of ice with your Hot Chocolate, and mix. Tastes the same.
- No Chocolate Tarts: They’re my favorite…and it looks like I’ll have to trek over to NY to get these, at least for now.
