With a passion for local ingredients and a dedication to farm to table service, The Larder at Burton Way in Los Angeles is a neighborhood gem. The Larder is a perfect breakfast or brunch spot, serving up delicious pastries and hot plates.

With a variety of flaky, freshly baked croissants, there is something everyone. Co owners are  Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne. Suzanne brings the on the job training she received in acclaimed Paris restaurants to all Larder serves. Caroline oversees the wine and beverage program in addition to handling the business side. Whether you desire a savory, warm Ham and Cheese croissant or a sweet, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate croissant, you won’t be dissatisfied. The ham and cheese croissant tastes like the your favorite ham and cheese sandwich, but in fluffy, buttery croissant form.

Larder’s Maple Brown Sugar Scone tastes light and is sweet as can be, without being too much. A perfect breakfast dessert. And the smell of its rich maple has me floating on cloud nine. You can see maple and sugar drizzled and sprinkled a top the scone. You know its legit.

The Pecan Sticky Bun, topped with large,sugary pecans, is delectable. It looks as good as it tastes. So fluffy you can tear pieces off or just bite right in, this sticky bun is a can’t miss.

And in terms of their hot plates, the brisket hash with sunny side up eggs and horseradish cream is to die for. The moist, tender brisket was seasoned so terrifically. Served with a side of rustic bread, its crispy, yet soft and the perfect thing to soak the egg. What would ordinarily be a simple side enhanced this yummy dish.

Also, don’t miss The Larder’s delicious coffee offerings. Plus, the latte art is beautiful.

The Larder also sells wine, cheese, and to go dishes, so be sure to browse around. With four locations across LA, you have zero excuses not to stop by.
