Reviews for Clark Street Echo Park in Los Angeles, CA
Came here after hearing the savoury was good. There are a selection of sandwiches but without any description, so I asked one of... the staff what goes in them but she had this attitude and seemed annoyed I was asking such a question. There were 5 staff behindthe counter just chatting amongst themselves because there were no customers in line and that's how they answered a simplequestion. I don't know about the food but that's not how you face your customers. Maybe just write out your menu properly likeyou should have so we don't have to ask what goes into each sandwich. Read more
Can?t get enough of @clarkstreetbread ?s almond croissant???? It?s super flaky and generous with the almond flakes and... frangipane (which is the almond-flavored custard)???? What I ordered: -Swedish Cardamon Bun -Pain Au Raisins -Pain AnChocolat -Almond Crossant (the BEST!) *make sure you order them online first!! ????Clark Street Echo Park, Los Angeles Hours:Mon-Sun 7:30am-3pm ???? @infoodwetrustmi Read more
Holding a Clark Street croissant in my hand, I was impressed by its pretty layers, they are fine and golden. The first bite,... however, betrays the appearance because only the edge of these layers are actually crispy. As a result, I didn't get a lot offlakes like I expected. The taste is also on the sweet side?not to my liking. The same dough texture goes for the gruyere thymesnail, although I enjoyed this one a little better because it has an earthy, savory flavor. Despite not being a fan of theircroissants, I keep going back to Clark Street because every time I am at their Echo Park bakery, I find more appealing items intheir long pastry counter than I can handle in one visit. I enjoyed the Swedish cardamom bun, it is soft with a strong, invitingcardamom flavor. I also loved the monkey bread, the crispy crust contrasts nicely with the chewy pull-apart texture. Thecinnamon scent is aromatic but not overwhelming. On the other hand, their twice-baked saffron pistachio croissant failed toimpress me, especially at its $7 price tag. I've got their bread a couple of times too, once the seeded sourdough loaf, theother time raisin and walnut bread. Both times I liked it. Read more
Ventured out this morning to Echo Park, looking for a new bakery experience. Mentioned by Easter. Bought five things to try.... Mostly good as expected but the Swedish cardamom bun was under-baked. Read more
Terrible service. Despite a generous tip, the pastry was cold, order was delayed. Even with my pastry being re-heated, it was... stone as cold. It was disorganized, as despite the area being not crowded, we still had to wait outside for 5 minutes beforebeing able to enter and order. Their options were also very limited. I do not recommend this place, as not only it was pricy,but the servive was beyond bad. Read more
Excellent Pastries (almost) *excellent sandwiches The pastries here are very well executed. Terrific croissants & rolls. The... coffee (meh). The sandwiches have really yummy recipes, with very good ingredients, but lack execution in their assembly. Youwonder if the person making the sandwich has ever made a sandwich. The Italian Tuna (very yummy) comes with the bread cut offset& is basically stacked so lopsided it will fall all over you. If yummy take the time to restock it, you will be happy,delicious. The grilled cheese came out burnt, when asking for a replacement I got one with the cheese unmelted? Maybe anovercompensation, but grilled cheese should be excellent with the bread quality. Definitely skip it here. Read more
Clark Street Echo Park is one of the best bakeries/cafes around! Discovering this place by chance, close to my abode was a... Godsend! All their breads are baked fresh and their sandwiches are delicious. Specifically, The Club sandwich which is agenerous portion of Fresh sliced Turkey, Crispy Bacon, Ripe Avocados, Lettuce and Tomato wrapped by a light fresh baked breadcomplimented by a house sauce which is tasty but not overwhelming. In addition, the setting very spacious with a cool outdoorpatio (indoor dining closed due to Covid) for a relaxing dining experience. The staff here are very friendly and notpretentious like many new cafes these days. They are attentive and greet you with a smile offering patience for any questionsyou might have. A wonderful place to eat or just have a cup of Joe. Do yourself a service and try one of their many freshlybaked breads! Read more
Such a good breakfast sandwich. Nice atmosphere on the patio. Bomb savory scone! Can have a line, but ordering ahead online can... help. Friendly staff! Read more
