Our Top Pick
The Ivy Bakery - Dolce Isola
The casual bakery offshoot of The Ivy, doubling as the production bakery that supplies desserts to both Ivy locations daily, serving a shortened version of The Ivy menu at lower prices.
Notable Picks
8.2
The production bakery behind both Ivy restaurants, run by chef Richard Irving whose pedigree traces through L.A. Desserts and Le Restaurant, turning out house-baked breads, gelato, and a trimmed Ivy menu at roughly half the price. The European cafe atmosphere—real flowers, antique chandeliers, weathered French chairs—punches well above typical counter-service, making it a quieter way to access Ivy-quality cooking without the Robertson scene. Best used as a weekday lunch stop or a take-home bakery run for the famous chocolate chip cookies and fresh baguettes.
Must-Try Dishes:
Grilled Fresh Fish Tacos on Homemade Tortillas, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Salad Nicoise
What Makes it Special: The casual bakery offshoot of The Ivy, doubling as the production bakery that supplies desserts to both Ivy locations daily, serving a shortened version of The Ivy menu at lower prices.
8.1
A family-run kosher bakery holding down Robertson Blvd since 1949, turning out Eastern European and French pastries—challah, cheese danishes, croissants—with the kind of muscle memory that only comes from three-quarters of a century at the same craft. The deli side handles lunch with unfussy sandwiches and lox plates priced for regulars, not tourists. It works best as a morning stop where you grab a bag of pastries and don't overthink it.
Must-Try Dishes:
Challah Bread, Cheese Danish, Bagel with Lox
What Makes it Special: Family-owned kosher bakery since 1949 specializing in Eastern European and French pastries on Robertson Blvd
