We stopped in for a box of morning pastries for our drive to Malibu. The pastries were buttery, and flaky to perfection. We tried the pistachio croissant, a morning bun with orange zest, a chewy truffle cookie and savory ham and cheese croissant and cherry tomato chaussure. We also grabbed iced coffee, and a natural organic bottle of sparkling wine and French baguette to bring to a dinner party later that night.

10/10 would recommend you stop by Friends & Family Bakery when you’re in Los Angeles.
