City Bakery LA... City Bakery LA... City Bakery LA... City Bakery LA...

For those west coast people who love Maury Rubin's City Bakery in New York City, you may be interested to know that the long-promised Los Angeles branch at the Brentwood Country Mart has FINALLY opened.

I'm off to Los Angeles for the weekend, and anyone who reads this on Saturday morning can be certain that at that very moment I'll be basking in the glow of a cold hot chocolate, a pretzel croissant, and anything else I can get into my giddy little hands.

Full photos and descriptions to come.
