Clark Street Brentwood

On our list of the best dessert spots in Los Angeles.

Sun comes through the large windows of this Barrington Court bakery, part of a chain established in 2014. Weekday mornings bring kouign-amann, French omelettes with fine herbs, and a third-pound burger sold as early as 8 a.m., alongside a full case of baked goods and desserts. It works as a daytime cafe for bread, pastry and brunch, not a sit-down dinner spot.
