Proof Bakery

I love this bakers cooperative in Atwater Village. The pastries are amazing and very creative. I love the sesame grape one so much. They have the best sandwiches that sell out decently quickly. The salami one with onion jam is the best!

This is also one of the few bakeries that have canelé and they do them extremely well!

Pistachio Raspberry Cake – 5 🌟!
Almond Financier – 5 🌟!
Chocolate Chip Cookie – 5 🌟!

One visit to Proof Bakery was all it took to make me a lifelong fan. It was incredible!

I had stopped somewhere else for lunch, not realizing they had deli sandwiches serve French Bakery style (wrapped in wax paper and ready to eat). So I will be back for one of those tasty looking sandwiches soon.

Instead, I focused on their baked goods, and I can honestly say that the three items I had were some of the best baked goods I have ever had, and that is not hyperbole.

The pistachio raspberry cake was perfection in a cake slice. The layers all had their own distinct flavors. The icing was sweet but not overpowering. Combined, it was a beautiful blend of tastes and textures. I think I know where I’ll be getting a birthday cake this year…

Then I tried the almond financier, and my tastebuds were in heaven. I love a good creme based desert, and this one features a sweet, fluffy almond creme inside a light and flaky almond pastry.

I finished things off with a chocolate chip cookie. It was amazing as well.

It is going to be dangerous for me with a bakery this amazing this close to my home. Also, my dad will love that it is a co op, worker owned place. The world needs a lot more places like that.

Proof Bakery in Los Angeles left me thoroughly disappointed. Despite waiting in line for lunch, all I got was a bland salami sandwich and a mediocre croissant. The prices were exorbitant for such lackluster fare, and to add insult to injury, I had to endure the cold while eating outside. Definitely not worth the wait or the money.

Proof is maybe one of the best places in LA. I don’t mean just food. I mean PLACES. It’s magical. The staff are incredibly friendly, it’s in beautiful Atwater Village, and their food is outstanding. I had the chocolate hazelnut croissant and it was perfect. All I want to do is visit Proof every morning and try everything in their pastry case. I think I’m going to make this my second home.

I have been a long time resident of Atwater I been going to Proof here and there.
It’s a bit pricey and now everything includes a tip ,Just for someone to hand you your stuff, lol
Their sandwiches, all their baked goods are well made though.
However I’m writing the review today because
I tried there guava and cream cheese pastry
And I loved it, (Cuban here) I can honestly say I was impressed.
Yum!
It’s a hit, don’t stop making it!
