Cafe Barra & Le French Rooster

Edit Jan 30, 2026 - they’re going under new management in February so I’m very sad. It’s temporarily closed for now. I loved coming here after my appointments to pick up some daily pastries and their full sandwiches! Their full sized sandwiches are humongous, tasty, great for two, and way bigger than other places! Also loved trying out their daily pastries. It’s a small spot but they have seating outside too. I usually just did pick up.

ADORE this place! Delicious pastries. Amazing coffee. Today I got the breakfast croissant with Nutella and strawberries. Divine.

Good Americano. Ordered it short, black, hot. However the Kouign-Amann pastry is to die for! 🤤 I drive all over LA for work and I’m trying to make it a point to come here once a week. It’s also a very friendly, communal vibe

Had the cappuccino, pour over, breakfast sandwich, la complete (crepe). Cappuccino / pour over - the bean starts with a kick, but no overly bitter after note. Loved the mild flavor. Breakfast sandwich - egg sandwich with no seasoning. Mild flavors continue here. I loved it, but it may not for everyone. La complete - crepe with ham and cheese with spinach salad. Ham and cheese not salty at all so again, not for everyone.

Was visiting town staying in a hotel near by and went here for a coffee and breakfast one morning. The staff was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We ended up stopping by the morning before going home again because of the quality service, food, and coffee. Would definitely go back!
