Sweet Lady Jane

At this point, Sweet Lady Jane is an L.A. institution. Choose from dozens of cakes and pies—from Almond Roca to raspberry lemon—for special occasions, or just unwind with a casual slice of this bakery’s signature crowd-pleaser, the triple berry shortcake. Or you could just gawk at the pastry display case of seasonal pies, cookies, cupcakes and croissants. Brunch and lunch menus also offer sandwiches, salads and non-sweet-tooth selections, but come on—are you really going to skip the triple berry cake? Find it at Sweet Lady Jane, which you’ll find all over the map: Encino, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Santa Monica.
