"LOVE this place! And I love Josette, who never ages. Such a spunky, bouncy person. The BEST croissants and baguettes this side of Paris. Josette old me that she sells up to (more than?? 2,000 baguettes a day, because she furnishes so many restaurants. I noticed the neighbors also drop by for bread or pastry. Hot coffee in the morning on the front counter.Josette bought this place in 1989 and the bakery/restaurant has been bustling ever since, keeping Angelenos on the westside full of delectible French goodies. This year, she is catering one of the Oscar parties in Hollywood. She has been awarded for excellent business practices by the French Consul General of Los Angeles at a banquet held in her honor.Go for a casual breakfast. Most (all? of the tables are outside, along a covered front patio. HAVE A CROISSANT. Did I mention that? That they are the BEST CROISSANTS THIS SIDE OF PARIS?? Ok, then... The omelets are also superb.Or go for lunch. Delicious specials that change daily. And have a croissant...Almost forgot to mention the delectible pastries, which are displayed in a case in the small front space. (Behind is a humongous kitchen where the magic happens. I bought some pear tarts for my Swiss neighbor, and she said they tasted just like her mother used to make. Sometimes you get lucky and get there just when the croissants are coming out of the oven. Incomparable.Ham and cheese croissants, chocolate croissants, cakes, pies, and gourmet French cheeses. You just gotta get here.Parking sucks but you can figure it out. If it's a slow day (rare you can park right in front.Josette, I love you!!! xox Stay who you are and continue to delight us with your treats for years to come!"

I visited this bakery for the first time and was pleasantly surprised that I hadn't discovered it earlier. The food was delicious, especially the fresh breads. Overall, I would rate it 5 out of 5!
Damon
The food is great. The baguettes are light and crispy like in France. The pâté de campange sandwich is addictive. From time to time I work in that neighborhood and whenever I do I make sure to visit Normandie Bakery.

The weekend open mic jazz jam has become my favorite hang. Pleasant afternoon chill out vibe. Chef Josette is the best!Parking: You can park in the open space across the street. There is also plenty of street parking. View menu

The food and service is terrific!! Our family came here and were taken care of like family. I've come here for years to buy baguettes and my only regret is not trying their menu sooner. We'll definitely be coming back!
Ariana
The desserts are delicious, but poor customer service can really ruin the experience. The staff member was quite racist, and I would not return or recommend this place. I'm writing this in English so that the lady understands that I'm not being ignorant. Service: 1/5
Lissette
Josette is a lovely and special lady, sweet and humble. Her patisserie is just perfect. The flavors melt in your mouth as a divine and unforgettable experience. The chocolate croissant is delicious, also the almond croissant. I highly recommend this place. I also took more for tomorrow’s breakfast. View menu

This is the closest to authentic croissants I 've found in LA, (no waxy aftertaste like those other bakeries make with palm kernel oil). And I 'm happy that there are small amounts of pâté and cheeses. The baguettes are fresh and good. The cakes and other baked goods look amazing but haven 't tried any. Parking is terrible--plan ahead.

I arrived at 9 AM right when the restaurant opened, and there was only one other couple dining. I had the Sunday LATimes with me to read, so the wait didn't bother me. There was quite a bit of takeout going on, and Chef Josette was actively working to enhance both the kitchen and the service. In the end, the wait was definitely worth it.
