The Baker Bakery Cafe - Woodland Hills

The aroma of Jose 's fresh baked breads, croissants and hand-rolled baguettes envelop the no nonsense dining room, caressing like grandmama 's embrace. Here, baking is art. Your eyes devour the pastries long before the pleasure passes your lips. THE BAKER BAKERY CAFE is a terrific brasserie. (I absorbed a petit French vocabulary watching Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, and Oscar Levant in the MGM musical, An American in Paris. Incidentally, the film was photographed in the early 1950 's, on 44 sets in Culver City, California, about ten miles South, down the 405. The servers understand that they are serving quality and respect the customer 's subtlety of choice. Chef Adman 's sandwiches are thick and delicious. His interpretation of a classic French omelette is, according to my wife, terrific. His salads, also generous, are fresh and crisp. There are a few vegan items on the menu. The Baker 's coffee, their espresso brew, is magnifique. Your server greats you with an assortment of freshly baked breads and a tray of condiments. My wife enjoys the whipped butter and cheese spread, while I munch on the salted olives, and spread their homemade jelly on the warm whole wheat breads. (Sometimes diets be damné. My wife ordered the omelette and I the vegan, veggie sandwich and lentil soup combo. The sandwich is available with a choice of a side salad, fries, fresh fruit, or a choice of soups. The bowl of rich, slightly spicy, vegan lentil soup, complemented with cubes of boiled potato, is more than satisfying. My wife 's golden-yellow omelette and crisp bacon arrived steaming warm and delicious. She also ordered her favorite coffee drink: a single shot of decaf espresso, placed into a large cup. Then, non-fat foam is scooped into the cup, to its rim. She enjoys it with a spoon. The large veggie-hummus sandwich, containing avocado, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and roasted red peppers, are served on a hummus coated, freshly baked baguette or thick bread slices. I selected raisin/walnut bread. Déleciux! Under Jackie 's ownership, THE BAKER BAKERY CAFE has expanded, adding additional seating. A children 's menu is attached to the regular menu. Outside, tables hug the front window, inside, the dinning area has increased by a third and their kitchen area has doubled. The pleasure of their meals have remained magnifique. A meal at The Baker Restaurant Bakery runs $20 or so. I usually eat only half of their generous serving, and take the rest home. STUFF: A selection of Jose 's still warm breads are displayed. The breads will be sliced to order. There are no booths. Everything is wheelchair accessible, including the gender-neutral bathroom. Parking is free, although limited. Street parking is available. When using street parking, there is an slight incline and a low curb.

Adnon and Anahita were amazing. Had a business lunch meeting there and will definitely be going back.

Everything was great. I can't wait to come back. The place is nice, very quiet and private. It has a lot of Israeli food. If you're also looking for. Place with great bread. This is the spot.

Great food, but in my opinion, it is pretty pricey. I did love that they bring you a wooden board with fresh bread and 4 different spreads. that was my favorite part. They have some outdoor sitting.

My wife and I went the The Baker today and our experience was fantastic. It is truly a gem. The food is delicious (compliments to the chef) the bread is baked fresh, and the customer service was great. We are definitely going back. Looking forward to trying the blackened salmon. We thank you very much for providing such a memorable experience. Bernard and Tiara
