Discover Larchmont Village's Culinary Charm

A Street Worth Strolling

If you're staying in one of our Los Angeles homes, there's a good chance Larchmont Boulevard is just minutes away. This picturesque, tree-lined stretch in the heart of Hancock Park has quietly become one of LA's most charming food destinations, a walkable village tucked between the bustle of Hollywood and the calm of Windsor Square.

We invite you to stroll down Larchmont Boulevard, where the aroma of freshly baked bread mingles with gourmet coffee in a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. This intimate village feels like a step back in time, offering a refreshing ambiance perfect for lingering over a perfect pastry or discovering a new favorite dish you'll dream about long after your Los Angeles adventure.

Bakeries & Sweet Escapes

Levain Bakery
The NYC sensation that brought its famously huge, ridiculously gooey, and outrageously decadent chocolate chip walnut cookies to LA. One bite and you'll understand the hype. Arrive early; the line moves fast but the cookies sell faster.

Sweet Lady Jane
A true LA institution, renowned for its show-stopping custom cakes and beautifully crafted sweet treats. The triple berry cake is the stuff of birthday legend.

Clark Street Bread
A temple to the craft, turning out crusty, chewy loaves and equally divine pastries and sandwiches. The sourdough and morning buns are baked with the kind of obsessive care that turns first-timers into regulars.

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
An incredible array of authentic, creative flavors that are truly a delight. The salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks is our go-to.

Erin McKenna's Bakery
Proof that delicious vegan and gluten-free cupcakes, cookies, and donuts are not only possible but truly magical. Their donuts are pillowy and guilt-free in the best way.

Bacio di Latte
Close your eyes and you might just be in Italy. Authentic, rich gelato that's creamy, balanced, and a perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

Holey Grail Donuts
The Hawaii-based taro donut shop brings island vibes to Larchmont with their plant-based, made-to-order rings. Worth the trip for adventurous eaters.

Go Get Em Tiger (GGET)
A local favorite known for its superb brews and vibrant atmosphere. Their cortado is a small masterpiece. No food crawl on Larchmont is complete without a stop here.

Cafés & Casual Bites

Great White
A stylish all-day café bringing serious coastal California vibes with its vibrant brunch, lunch, and dinner menus. Think smashed avocado toast, açaí bowls, and excellent flat whites in a sun-drenched space. It's one of those places where you plan to stay for twenty minutes and end up lingering for two hours.

Cookbook Market
Part green grocer, part charming café. Perfect for gourmet groceries, a fresh-pressed juice, or a grain bowl made with ingredients sourced that morning. The kind of neighborhood spot that makes you want to cook something beautiful when you get home.

Le Pain Quotidien
Belgian sensibility on the boulevard: organic breads, communal tables, and tartines that hit differently when you're eating them on a tree-shaded sidewalk patio. Perfect for a leisurely brunch.

Cafe Gratitude
Raw and vegan dishes served with positive affirmations. The earnestness is charming rather than preachy. Their "I Am Fabulous" bowl lives up to its name.

Boba the Great
Artisanal boba with house-made syrups and quality teas. A cut above your average boba shop and worth the detour.

Restaurants for Every Craving

Pho La Vache
Incredibly flavorful and aromatic pho noodle soups with rich, deeply simmered broths that feel restorative after a long day of exploring. Comfort in a bowl, plain and simple.

Bettola
The neighborhood's Italian gem. Regional dishes, handmade pasta, and a wine list curated with genuine care. The cacio e pepe is reason enough to visit, but the seasonal specials keep us coming back.

Kiku Sushi
A long-standing neighborhood favorite for Japanese food. Consistently fresh sushi and sashimi with friendly, no-frills service.

Sua Superette
Bold Szechuan Chinese flavors in a casual, modern setting. The mapo tofu and dan dan noodles are standouts.

Burger Lounge
The classic done right. Grass-fed beef burgers that are juicy, well-seasoned, and served without pretense.

Village Pizzeria
Proper New York-style pies on Larchmont for years. Thin crust, good char, generous toppings.

Tu Madre
Modern Mexican tacos, creative bowls, and some of the best salsa verde we've found in this part of town. A stylish spot for a lively meal.

New Openings to Watch in 2025

Max & Helen's
Phil Rosenthal's (Everybody Loves Raymond, Somebody Feed Phil) upcoming spot promises elevated comfort food that aims to reinvent the classic diner experience with a special flair. Set to open mid-Spring 2025.

KOAST
From the team behind Michelin-starred Kali, this highly anticipated spot will bring fresh, East Coast-inspired seafood to a stylish and welcoming setting. Expect pristine oysters, lobster rolls, and the kind of thoughtful sourcing that earned Kali its star.
