The pastries here are so good. The traditional baguette was good, the strawberry danish was just OK but the palmier was really delicious. I was disappointed that I couldn’t try the croissant because they were already sold out. We also got the breakfast sandwich with the ciabatta. The ciabatta felt a little cold compared to the rest of the ingredients in the sandwich, but it was still yummy. I’ll be back for their palmier and to try their other pastries.

Nice bakery Cafe downtown LA by park. Pastry are very good and not too heavy. Coffee selection and presentation is nice as well.

Wow! A definite 5/5 well earned, food was so delicious and very quick!

Best Mocha Ive ever had. Best Bluebery Scone Ive ever had. Not much more to say, please visit this gem in the heart of my City of Angels & see some real life Angels making excellent cuisine, daily - for you! ☕🍪🍰

They have some good items for breakfast and lunch but the overall experience is not great. The place lack attention to details and has an overall feel of mediocrity. Not worth a detour.

They provided magnificent beauty as well as superb meals. Youll be left awestruck by the famous Taco and freshly cooked beef with veggies. It brings you back to your adolescence. This eatery has a positive energy. It depicts a glimpse of a well-known Mexican city. This is a place I will surely visit again! You should try it as well.

Great place for breakfast with amazing pastry freshly baked, but also good for lunch with many salty options to choose from.It has outsoor space for sitting, just in front of Pershing Square.

The customer service was excellent. They were so nice and it had a pleasant atmosphere.

Most of pastries are fresh. They taste and they look fresh. I have visited few other places around downtown, I think this place is on my top-3 list. I think the flan was standing out among others. I tried about 5-6 different things.Also the Parisian omelet was a descent choice.Overall a good place for breakfast, if you are close by I think takeout is a better choice.

Tasty tasty…. The line is long usually and the parking is not available

Super cute French Bakery! They close at 2pm so the pastries sell out really quick - by 10:30 am. I got the chocolate croissant and it was superb. They have outdoor and indoor seating. Great spot for brunch or lunch.

I ordered a cheesecake and a box of pastries for my brothers birthday to be delivered to him and he loved them! Tonie from the sales department was such a pleasure to work with and really ensured that my delivery would be there in time and was so helpful with all of my questions. The customer service was excellent and highly recommend them!

I love this place so much! You can taste the quality of ingredients and Ive never been disappointed. I love all their pastries, their breakfasts, and they have some of the most delicious lunch options. I really cant get enough.

This review is based on arriving 5 mins after closing time. After conveying to the staff cleaning outside our interest was in picking up some pastries if there were some left, he unlocked the door and there was a well presented staff member ready to take our order.The ham & cheese croissant, chocolate croissant and kouign-amann were all very, very good...especially when heated at home!We couldnt wait to taste some outside the store and the same man who let us in after closing time greeted us and asked about what we thought of the pastries in a heavy french accent. The entire first-time visit couldnt have been better! Thank you Pitchoun!

First time here. Food was high quality. LEGIT coffee selections. Very friendly and attentive staff. Ill definitely be back

Located next to Pershing Square, I ordered cheese cake, it’s ok but the cream taste a little bit sweet. They have outdoor sitting. Overall good.

Very cute spot! The food we ordered was decent. Staff were friendly. Would definitely like to try more different things on their menu! When youre sitting next to the fireplace outside, it does not feel like youre in the downtown! Extremely cozy, outside atmosphere is great and quiet.

Excellent selection of French pastries, breakfast, and coffee. Plenty of outdoor, shaded seating. Plus, it’s actually open!Update on 9/9/21: Currently closed with no clear opening times.

A nice short walk through DTLA brings you to a delicious cafe with attentive and friendly staff. Pastries are superb and the eggs benny on brioche cant be beat.

One of the only non-franchise bakeries that worth a visit in DTLA, nice pastries and breakfast menu

Great french bakery/restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere and amazing food. Loved the latte as well.

I had the best sandwich in this place and the pastries they have were amazing. I particularly tried DTLA sandwich and espresso croissant with coffee. The sandwich was quite big but very delicious. I liked their touch with mayo sauce. The croissant had sweet espresso filling and it was perfect with coffee. My coworkers all loved their food and I like to visit here again for sure.

Amazing cakes! I pretty much only purchase their cakes nowadays.

Seriously delicious pastries, yummy coffee, with a cool interior seating area and sidewalk lounge.

The croque monsieur is perfect, as are the pastries. The espresso was very good.

Worst croissant I’ve ever tasted.First time trying Pitchoun, ordered through uber eats on a Saturday morning:Plain croissant (0/5): seriously insulting. Dense like a rock, heavy, tasteless, worse than bad bread. Nothing like the fresh, flakey, buttery, treat one should expect.Ham and cheese croissant (2/5): edible, that’s it.Chocolate chip cookie (1/5): not fresh, weirdly greasy tasting, hard as a rock.Parian flan (0/5): for an item that claims to have a high risk of addition, this just plain sucks, cold, wet, bland, unfriendly jello.Oat milk latte (1/5): no coffee or oat milk tastes to be found anywhere in this ‘latte’If you want tasty food, stay away!!

The atmosphere was enjoyable. I am gluten free so there were a ton of things I could not eat, but it smelled great and my breakfast partner said the pastry was excellent. The eggs were well done, not over cooked, and the side of bacon was generous.

Cozy little place to have breakfast. Decent breakfast options, coffee was not so great though. The best thing is of course the pastries. Our favorite one is the charcoal croissant but unfortunately, they dont have that one anymore.

We came here for a visit and we kept coming back to this beautiful place, plenty of choices and the coffee is great!

Stephane Treand was moving his shop from SOCO Costa Mesa to Tustin and while the Tustin shop was not up and running yet, I had a craving for a good croissant. So, I googled best croissants in LA and it came up that Pitchoun was voted #1. I made a 45 minute drive to try some. Sorry guys, I dont know if the shop owners have been in LA too long or they had never really made good croissants, but they are just not very good. The croissants had a distinct sweet and salty taste to it that is a far cry from Stephane Treands or a good croissant from La Parisienne on rue Madame in Paris. This is a good example of when number one of something is no where near number one of where it should be. The short bread cookies are alright though expensive.

The food was good and our coffee was tasty, but it was the environment, vibe and ambience that I enjoyed the most. It’s pricey for what you get...but it was still enjoyable. For sure a place to visit if you’re in DTLA!

I was here last year and loved the place so I was excited to come back again.Unfortunately only disappointment was waiting for me.Staff at the counter was neither friendly or rude, they simply didn’t care.I ordered Latte and Almond Croissant after waiting for 15 minuets I went to ask about my order. Somehow they missed it, the lady reluctantly apologized to me and I got my order.Latte was watery I couldn’t even drink a half of it (it didn’t even looked good). The almond croissant still was great.I’m disappointed how the quality of food and service has dropped within a year.Only 3 stars now...used to be 5.

I love this place. But it’s not cheap for what they serve.The quality and flavors are amazing nonetheless.My fav almond croissant anywhere.The bread is amazing and the omelettes are fantastic. Not to mention the cold sandwiches and Smoked salmon.

I was pretty sceptical about the whole “Provence” and French spiel here (I travel to France frequently). First food. The bread was soft and nicely toasted. The eggs were fine. They were drowning in hollandaise sauce. I could not taste the salmon because of it. Coffee was lukewarm. Large cup of coffee is a bowl (what?). This is a big operation and it lacks any kind of charm (charm = 0), like french cafes do. Pastries looked enormous, so I skipped them altogether (pastries in France are never large. Quality over quantity). Hence all this, two stars taken away.

Pistachio croissant and hot chocolate. Too sugary and buttery.

Im sure Ive been here 50x times. The Almond Crossaint is to die for, I didnt try other dishes because despite going here every weekend when I lived in LA as Id always just get the Crossaint (sometimes two)

A Real little piece of FRANCE ! A real French Baguette, French croissant and pain au chocolat. I little bite expensive but I REALLY like this place!!

Croissant was the best Ive ever had and decently priced, however the French toast is overrated and overpriced! Spent almost $90 for 2 adults, 2 teens and a 10 year old for food and coffee or other drinks. Ive never had a macaroon so we wanted to try one and they literally charged $2.50 for a single macaroon! We were done eating by time we got our drinks. The food looked pretty but thats about it.

Why cannot I put at least 5+?? AMAZING place! Highly-highly recommend! We came here for a breakfast. Ordered salmon tartini, chocolate eclair, breakfast sandwich, and a bread pudding with two coffees, — and everything was very delicious. Literally best meal ever! This is love! Fav place to have breakfast at, when in LA.P.S. they made a cute cat on my husbands’ latte

Eggs benedict and croissants were sold out. The avocado toast looked and tasted like store bought avocado past on a very thin piece of bread, no texture at all. Everything is served on really flimsy paper plates, enjoy trying to cut anything against that without eating some plate. Coffee which was served late, had little to no aroma, definitely not freshly ground. Almost all small pastries were sold out on a Sunday afternoon. Server forgot to ask or bring sugar/stirrers for the coffee. Finally, asked for water, was server water with bits of dirt/potting-mix floating in it. For pastries youre better off grabbing something from Clark Street bakery in Grand Central. And for good coffee, go anywhere else.

Pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere here. Cute place to brunch with good coffee and baked goods as well.

Met a long time friend of many years here. We treated ourself to a bunch of delights and then ordered the Benedict and the grilled cheese. Literally nothing disappointed!!!

Delectable French lunch and dessert. A bit pricey but good.

Everything was exactly right. Good portions, good social distancing, authentic French cuisine.

Nice place with a little bit of everything. European flair, wine, beautiful sandwiches, and pastries.

Still the best place to get coffee and patisserie in Downtown. Reminds me of France, nice to reminisce

As you sidestep the dt homeless and pass the soulless suits this place provides an oasis of good vibes and delectable indulgences. Probably the best Nutella beignets in the country and the croissants are right up there. Great homemade chips and even better service. Go for the Avocado Toast alone.

Its a bakery its a bistro and its all wonderfully French - authentic. A pastry case to die for, coffee, breakfast, sandwiches, enjoy.I had a heavenly slice of flan Parisian. Smooth, creamy, a touch of vanilla and a browned skin on top. Yum.

Excellent location clean and friendly atmosphere professional staff delicious foodAmazing cupcakes very very fresh bread and tasty Danish, must try macroons .

A lovely French bakery on a busy street in downtown LA. Pantries are delicious, great coffee.

I had high expectations based on reviews but the food was very mediocre. The almond croissant was way too sweet, the regular croissant my wife said tasted like it had been refrigerated, and my sons coffee cake was middle of the road. It was very expensive for what it was.

Classic Egg Benedict is good, large Latte is really big. Almond croissant a bit too sweet. Background too noisy for relaxation.

Great place for enjoying your time. Calm environment. Small portions as European style. Try the pastry of the day!

I came to this place because of its great reviews. Very modern indoor and nice french vibe. It doesnt get to crowded. The place is very cozy, and is a perfect quick bite. Very delectable pastries and breakfast items. The salad my meals usually come with, Awesome! I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, I loved how there are even grill stripes on it, its just nice. The coffee is probably ONE of the best in L.A in my opinion. This place has the heart of Paris! I highly recommend this place for breakfast for tourists coming to L.A. for the first time.

Having spent $50, the overall quality and taste is good but not great. The pastries and the breads are probably the best Ive tasted in Southern California. Pitchoun does provide quick service despite the lengthy lines during the busy lunch hour.

Guys, you should try that charcoal croissant, very interesting taste. Fresh!

Great breakfast option. Everything was delicious.

Just here for E3, and this place was close to our hotel. Delicious food, and Large portions. True bakery food, not some corner store apple turnover! Highly recommend!

Overall the food was good. Its a little pricey though. Also you would have to pay for parking.

Come here early or expect a line :) the croissants, baguette, and tarts are to die forrrr. Love this place!

Very nicebake goods as well as omellettes and such.

Such a cute French cafe. Lovely atmosphere & great employees.

Adorable French bakery! We came here for breakfast as it was right by our hotel. Delicious French pastries and baked goods in a cute, cosy and rustic setting. It’s a bit on a the pricey side but definitely expected since you’re paying for quality (and that’s it’s in DTLA).We got the almond croissant, the gougeres and the pain au raisins which were all divine.One funny thing was that everyone who worked here is actually French, definitely made us feel like we were actually in a Parisian cafe!

Great Bakery, clean and great customer service.

Breakfast was great, French waffles, egg Benedict, and service was amazing. Kids loved the food and outdoor seating area, will be back for again for sure.

Pitchoun never disappoints!! Best french pastries and sandwiches in DTLA!

Great taste and amazing looking pastries. Highly recommended if you are in L.A. downtown.

Never had a bad experience here - tea, food, service, not to mention pastries. Had a potato cake (kartoffelkage if there is a French version with more layers?) just now with white tea out on the patio. The only downside is that they don’t offer WiFi, but curates to a sit-down brunch or teatime clientele looking for some time to unplug.

Love the baked goods - baguettes are fresh and really good:)

This is so far my favorite french café in the Los Angeles area. The pastries and macarons are all very delicious and you cannot be wrong with your choice. My favorites are the almond tart and chocolate tart. Both have a rich taste and the exact amount of sweetness. Concerning the savory items, they are good, but cannot compete with the pastries. Although the Ratatouille Quiche was awesome. I had the Niçoise Salad which was OK and a bit blend in taste. I also tried the Sandwich South West featuring duck prosciutto. It was also just OK, the duck tasted a little bit too strong and the bread, although I like crunchy, was too hard, and with all the yummy ingredients still tasted a little bit blend. But I would say you just have to work with the additional Salt and Pepper. Overall, I am still giving 5 Stars, because the pastries are an absolute must if you like sweets and the environment is superb. Located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles with all its hustle and bustle, when you enter you get immediately a calm and relaxing feel of a french backyard café. Awesome! Regarding getting there, it is relatively easy to get there with the Subway system and within 10minutes of walk. It will be hard to find parking though if you want to arrive by car. There is a parking garage next door for a reasonable price, but be aware that the parking spots are tiny.

My first time there. While a little chilly outside I will ABSOLUTELY be back. Everything is perfect. Im not a bread and/or sweets eater. My Danish was hands down the best I have ever had. The breakfast was super good (real butter, not this homogenized nonsense).

Raspberry croissant is not worth it, but raspberry beignet is definitely delicious! Nice French ambience but nothing striking. Super packed at noon.

Deliciously decadent and my new favorite spot for an amazing grab and go meal. HINT: breakfast is bomb but grab the gribiche and a coffee eclair...

Great for a quick brunch. They have great pastries and omelette. Try out the waffle it’s really goooood.

We went there yesterday, and re-visited again this morning. The food is quite good!

Fun, welcoming feel to this stay or take-away restaurant with excellent food and amazing bakery items. Love the atmosphere and the friendly service. Happy to find them open downtown Los Angeles on a Sunday afternoon.

Delicious authentic French food - owned by a sweet couple from France.Flaky croissants & eggs cooked to perfection on the Niscoise salad & terrines are my go-to favorites.

We made a reservation to come here to celebrate birthday, and had some happy hour drinks (5 to 7pm I believe) before the reservation. Good drinks.For our meal, we ordered diver scallop as starter, then shared a tomahawk. We also got truffle mac and cheese, and button mushroom as our sides.Scallop was just ok. The texture didnt make sense and the flavor...just not working for me. I wouldnt order it again. The steak came out medium rare and it was FANTASTIC! The sides were tasty and buttery. We would order them again.For dinning here, we also got complimentary fries with 3 different sauces before anything else. That was yummy.Service was excellent. I am glad we found a good steakhouse in this area and we would return for sure.

My girlfriend and I would have eaten here all weekend if we could. Fantastic sandwiches and pastries. Good house blend coffee. Closed on Mondays right now.

This bakery has a delicious assortment of pastries and meals! The macarons, beignets, cream cheese pastries, were all fantastic (and the list goes on). The avocado toast was amazing as well, and I will definitely visit again when Im back in LA!

Pitchoun made my daughters wedding cake and accompanying desserts - everyone marveled at the look of the cake and just ooed and ahhed at its taste. The bride and groom chose a white genoise cake with a strawberry infused butter cream. The exterior was French butter cream. It was light and delicate and just delicious. We also had 300 mini tarts to accompany the cake. The tarts where inhaled within 10 minutes after the cake had been served. I had ordered custom dessert boxes for the left overs but there were NONE. Everyone says, no one eats the wedding cake. At our wedding everyone did and more! This should be your go to bakery for any event dessert.

Very nice food especially breakfast options

My friends and I just tried this place and we were very pleased with our choice. We got the chicken pesto sandwich along with the ham and cheese sandwich, both were amazing and delicious. The prices were pretty solid and the service was fast and great. The guy who I think was the owner, was friendly and nice. Very pleased with my first time experience, will be back soon.

This bakery though a bit expensive for my taste, it is only a short walk from the FAMOUS Millennium Biltmore Hotel in L.A. on S. Olive Street. The small breakfast of two soft boiled eggs, 10 leaves of green salad in oil& vinegar dressing, and bread FINGERS with French sounding name,  MOUILLETTES, just roasted bread CRUSTS to me, costs $10.

I am in ❤ with my french toast 😋

So delicious! great service!

Delicious!! Anything you’ll get will be delicious!! Truly French bakery with great coffee and food selection 😍👍

Great food choices with delightful desserts! Enjoyed a turkey sandwich for lunch, followed by a raspberry cream tart. Delish!

One of the best baguettes in LA 🥖 crispy crust and soft interior 🌟

My wife, my family, my children and relatives all love this restaurant for its amazing food and wait staff. We also love the style and ambiance.

Best French Pastry & Coffee shop #DTLA...Great staff...enchanting and DELICIOUS....

A fav spot for tasty French food. Two thumbs up for this place. Nothing but pleasant experiences here. The bill was fair for the quality of food.

Really nice french bakery. Amazing pastries and you can serve and refill your own coffee!

Absolutely the best place, if you crave fresh baked goodies . Avocado Toast😋

Rude French people! Very unkind & unhelpful. I placed a Christmas order of $174 & was treated very poorly. I was polite & was treated horribly. Zero customer service.I will say this... After 6 emails, 5 of which were unpleasant & aggressive, the co--owner finally sent a caring email. Too little too late but well see how I feel in time. But will not return to this location for a certainty.Parking is pretty miserable in the area. Some meters & Paid parking next door & across the street.

Food is Good. But they dont seem to care about health standards! I was there having breakfast and one of the waiters came and started sweeping the floor in the packed eating area. A man at a table near me very nicely asked him if he could do that later and to my surprise the waiter got angry, gave a dirty look to the guy and swept even harder trying to kick up more dust. It appears that one unhappy employee was very successful in not only ruining our meals but also creating a nasty UNHEALTHY environment in an eating establishment! I hope that man complained to the management and they took care of retraining their staff because not only I dont really want to go there any more I would also not recommend it to anyone for that reason!

Wonderful bakery tucked away. The blueberry muffin is full of so many blueberries, its ridiculous. Large window gives you visibility into the kitchen. Priced well for the area. Very pleasing environment for a cup of green tea

The pastries are amazing, and coffee is not overly sweet.

Is this place French??? It tasted like industrial or hospital bakery, AVOID. Madame monsieur in DTLA is more authentic and a much better choice.

This place is delicious! I love the atmosphere, inside and out, plus the food is absolutely fresh and flavorful.I was in the mood for some eggs and they had a Parisian Omelet that had spinach, ham, and swiss cheese that melts in your mouth. And its a hearty portion too. :-)The chocolate croissant tasted good, I just wish the chocolate inside was spread out more instead of 1 tiny strip in the middle. Overall not bad.If youre in DTLA, you should definitely stop by! :-)
