Friends & Family

Roxana Jullapat and Daniel Mattern’s daytime-only bakery and café makes some of the best baked goods in town, including bread made with locally sourced heirloom grain. The rustic loaves have even made Jullapat—the pastry chef half of the duo—famous nationwide via her cookbook, Mother Grains. Beyond bread, Friends & Family also makes pastries, quiche and cookies, and the brunch menu is no slouch, either. Buckwheat pancakes and olive-oil–fried eggs are worth savoring from the sunny spot in East Hollywood, but we’re also more than content grabbing a quick hand pie and some Danishes. Our words of advice? Order a little of everything, no matter your time limitations, and grab a few pastries for later, too. You’ll be glad you did.
