Tartine Sycamore

Tartine has made quite a name for itself up in San Francisco, and their Hollywood location brings that same dedication to exceptional baking down to Los Angeles. This isn’t your average coffee shop with generic pastries—it’s a lunch destination built around their remarkable house-baked breads that have earned a devoted following for good reason.

The menu here leans heavily into showcasing what Tartine does best: bread. Their tartines (open-faced sandwiches) are the star attraction, with options like the tomato and beet version that let the quality of the bread shine through. The BLTA puts a fun spin on a deli classic by swapping in house-made bologna, and it works surprisingly well. For those with a savory palate, the bacon and chive scone stands out among the pastry selection as something you’ll find yourself craving long after you’ve left.

This is the kind of spot that works beautifully whether you’re grabbing breakfast with friends, having a solo brunch with a good book, or meeting someone for a light lunch. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it easy to pop in for a quick coffee and pastry or settle in for a more leisurely meal. When the weather turns cool, their rice porridge becomes essential comfort food.

If you’re in Hollywood and looking for something beyond the usual cafe fare, Tartine Sycamore delivers the goods. The bread alone is worth the visit, but combined with their thoughtful menu and quality ingredients, it’s become a go-to spot for locals who appreciate bakeries that take their craft seriously.
