At Wilshire Boulevard and Euclid, Petitgrain Boulangerie serves extraordinary — almost magical — baked goods that bring delight with every flaky, buttery bite.

Artisanal Excellence
Petitgrain is committed to quality ingredients and traditional techniques. Made with organic flours from California, locally sourced produce from the Santa Monica farmers market, and premium Isigny Sainte-Mère butter from France, each pastry reflects exceptional and careful craftsmanship.

The bakery’s croissant has earned a devoted following for its honeycomb interior and crisp exterior. Other standout offerings include the cardamom bun with seasonal fruit, pain au chocolat with premium dark chocolate, and the ham and Gruyère croissant with its hint of Dijon mustard.

A Neighborhood Treasure
The moment visitors approach Petitgrain, they’re greeted by the aroma of butter and fresh baked goods wafting down the street. Inside the cozy space, customers can watch bakers at work while choosing from an array of morning treats including blueberry scones, Boursin and herb scones, and decadent cinnamon rolls.

Founded by Clémence de Lutz, who brings her culinary heritage to each recipe, Petitgrain has quickly become a community fixture. The name “petit grain” means “little grain” in French, reflecting the bakery’s dedication to quality local flours and traditional methods.

Cookie Perfection
Petitgrain’s cookies have become enormously popular – and for good reason. The bakery’s chocolate chip cookies strike the ideal balance between crisp edges and soft, chewy centers, with generous chunks of high-quality chocolate in every bite. Larger than most, these cookies come warm from the oven throughout the day. (Regulars recommend arriving early, as these treats frequently sell out by mid-afternoon.)

Petitgrain is marked by exceptional pastries made with quality ingredients. The bakery is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exquisite and delicious baked goods. (Isn’t that everyone?)
