Boule (La Cienega)

By in 09: Weho

Valentine gave us excuse to indulge in the quality but pricey French sweets at patisserie Boule (see our old entry). 12 Pieces Gift Box $28. You can select from their many flavors they offer. We choose all of the tea flavor ones (Oolong, Jasmine, Earl Grey, etc). I have to admit I prefer chocolate in […]

La Provence Patisserie (Beverly Hills)

By in 10: Beverly Hills

This lovely bakery at Beverly Hills is also a ‘shop’, selling pretty home goods. Chicken Sausage Panini: perfectly grilled, light and fine quality sausages, yum! And the slightly too sour Tomato Soup. This is supposedly a half & half, but the soup is like a full big bowl, I had to take half home. Macaron, […]
