Lodge Bread Company - Los Angeles


Carbs for breakfast, carbs for lunch. Carbs for dinner, have a bunch! 


I would eat every single meal of every single day at Lodge and never get bored. I would get fat, but I would never get tired of waking up to a Cinnamon Roll the size of a yoga block and swiped with some that the lightly-whipped, barely-cheesy, touch-of-citrus cream. Bonus that it’s big enough for 2-3 mornings.


A lighter lunch can be just a fluffy, crusty Focaccia. This one has ripe tomatoes, bold basil, and toasty cheese.


Their Hummus might be a must-have, but their Pita is the best bread in the world. It has the softest hint of sourdough and a pocket full of air. Pull it apart to reveal a most supple and chewy texture. 


Their pizza is basically pita with some toppings, and the world has never known a better crust. The Wild Mushroom has a creamy taleggio to surround fragrant mushrooms and pungent slices of sweet roasted garlic.


Switch it up with the Spicy Sausage Pizza: a smudge of tomato sauce, a touch of garlic, and a soft, sweet sausage with a little bit of sass.


Never leave without the Wood Fire Romanesco. It’s roasted with a sear and a char, and the creamy tahini is heaven. Golden raisins add some sweet, and a dash of lemon brings balance.


Have a charcuterie with the Country Loaf, have it as a side with soup, or eat it however the heck you want.


Bag up some cookies for after. The Chocolate Chip Miso is the best, the perfect sweet n’ salty.


The Everything looks like birdseed, but the nutty and savory notes are nice.


Double Chocolate Chip! A little bitter and burnt at the end, but it sure is pretty.

I don’t just like Lodge, I LOVE it! There is not a single thing that doesn’t blow my mind, and as much as I hate LA traffic, I’d gladly drive through it to go count carbs at Lodge.
