The scoop

Louma is a neighborhood bakery at 3223 Wilshire Boulevard, run by sisters and baking in an open kitchen. The official description is European baking with a Lebanese twist: slow-fermented breads, viennoiserie, seasonal pastries, coffee, and matcha. It opened officially on Sept 1, 2026, after a soft opening that weekend, so it's still a new shop. The Infatuation notes that it's owned by a nonprofit that provides baking training for employees with learning and developmental disabilities. There aren't critic reviews of the food yet; The Infatuation's October 2026 note was a listing, not a tasting.

What to get

Start with what the bakery itself highlights: the za'atar croissant and kaak bread, plus organic sourdough, viennoiserie, coffee, and matcha. The Infatuation's listing also names maritozzi and a kaak sandwich with labneh. The official site does not publish prices, so ask at the counter, and expect the case to change by the day.

When to go

Tuesday through Sunday, 7:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. Closed Mondays. It's a morning-into-early-afternoon bakery, walk-in only. Arrive earlier if you want first pick from the case.

Who it's for

People who want a neighborhood bakery stop — a pastry, a loaf, and a coffee or matcha — rather than a full sit-down brunch. It's on Wilshire in Mid-City, east of the Milo & Olive stretch, and it's daytime only.

Kids: A good, casual morning stop with young kids. It's a counter and a pastry case, not a full restaurant with a kids' menu.

Insider tips

  • Closed Mondays. Confirm hours before a holiday visit.
  • Prices are not listed on the official site. Ask when you order. Everything is baked daily in the open kitchen.

Skip it if…

You need a full sit-down breakfast, or you're going on a Monday.
