    Sprinkles Cupcakes

    Pay $3.25 for a cupcake? And you have to wait in that line out the door? Are you kidding – hey, that looks pretty good. Red Velvet? With cream-cheese frosting? And that one? Peanut-butter chocolate? Eighteen more varieties inside? Uhh, can you move over a little?

    Europane

    With its concrete floors, small wooden tables and jumbled baskets of unmarked pastries, Europane doesn’t exactly ooze warmth. But buttery bearclaws, fluffy croissants and smooth cups of coffee make up for any lack of coffeehouse coziness. Arrive early for croissants; they sell out.

    Sweet Lady Jane

    There’s a cake for every craving – orange chiffon, seven-layer chocolate, triple berry shortcake – inside the ivy-colored walls of Sweet Lady Jane, one of LA’s most popular bakeries. To make the choice even tougher, peek into the cake-making workshop to see what’s frosting up next. Fresh sandwiches too.

    Café Tropical

    Che would feel right at home in this Cuban bakery and coffee shop where an entire wall is swathed in photographs of the revolutionary heartthrob. Stop by for their flaky guava-cheese pie, pressed pork sandwiches and muy macho café con leche (very strong coffee with milk).

    Rose Café

    Laptop-toting writers, pony-tailed artists and beefcakes from nearby Gold's Gym dig this Euro-style café-bakery with two hedge-framed patios to slurp your latte or scarf up rave-worthy salads and frittatas. Before leaving, browse for unique knickknacks in the little gift store.

    Lily's Café & Pastries

    Surfers who've worked up an appetite in the early morning waves invade this beloved indie place to refuel on the biggest, meanest breakfast burrito under the sun. Beware the salsa unless you plan on auditioning as a fire eater. Great coffee and pastries, too.

    3 Square Café & Bakery

    Tiny café at which you can devour Hans Röckenwagner's German-inspired pretzel burgers, gourmet sandwiches and apple pancakes. Bakery shelves are piled high with rustic breads and fluffy croissants.

    Yummy Cupcakes

    Yummy Cupcakes is the name of the store. Everything’s loaded with icing and all flavors enticing. That diet just walked out the door.
