First don’t get the apple tart! It has apple sauce inside it and not sliced or poached apples. Other than that everything is incredible! Friendly employees and the food is so good. We ate here everyday for breakfast while we were in town for a convention and cannot wait to come back. The name translates to kiddo in English if you didn’t know!
The place looks nice. Pastries looks great, taste fine. Latte tasted so so. Cappuccino is to avoid. Do not go there to take coffee.
Wonderful lattes, friendly staff, and nice outdoor dining. Very chill and cozy! Just make sure you’re prepared: the coffee is fantastic but served European-style: in a bowl sans handles! ? (But it’s well worth it for the rich, foamy goodness!)
Pitchoun! is a cute Euro style cafe between Old Town Pitchoun! and the Raymond Hotel. The food is excellent (tasty with a great presentation) and the coffee is well done. The latte art is an added bonus. Service was quick and sweet, but the line for Sunday brunch was almost out the door. However, it went by in about ten minutes and was worth the wait.
wonderful little French bakery/café in downtown LA that made a near perfect spot to stop for lunch after visiting the Central Library. Also a location on Beverly BLVD. Wood, red brick, and steel interior décor stylishly designed creates a feeling of wanting to linger a while. Open early to start the day with breakfast items (benedicts, omelettes) espresso, and pastries, Oh, the pastries! You walk in and immediately your eye is drawn to the expansive display of gorgeous selections both sweet and savory. Scones, croissants, eclairs, tarts, etc. all looking delicious. And some perfect looking baguettes and other types of freshly baked bread to enjoy at home. The lunch menu includes sandwiches both hot and cold, quiche, salads, and an interesting sounding rice bowl option. We perused the menu for a little while, including the daily specials board, and placed our order at the counter. Having spent some time in France, we discovered the pleasure of a simple baguette sandwich with brie and ham. This was my wife’s choice. I love a good quiche and the choice du jour was ham & mushroom. As a side to compliment my quiche I chose an order of ratatouille-a French cooked vegetable dish. By the way, they do serve wine here also but it may be only during certain hours of the day. Not sure on that.We found a table easily and waited for our selections to arrive. And they did quickly. The baguette sandwich looked great but unlike the large majority of these we have enjoyed this one included a large leaf of romaine. This added a bit of extra crunch but not much more. Unnecessary in our opinion. The bread was fabulous, exterior crunchy with a soft slightly sour interior. A baguette to remember. The ham and the brie went with it perfectly. My wife was very pleased. I am a bit different than most in that I prefer my quiche cold or at room temp (it’s a texture thing) rather than warmed. This piece was truly delicious. Great smooth eggy filling with good quantity of filling. Crust maybe a bit dry but still well made. Nothing left but a few crumbs. Unfortunately, the ratatouille was a big miss on this day. I’ve had it many times, including in France, and this was unrecognizable as the dish I know. The normally chunky vegetables, which you can identify when looking, appeared to have been run through a Cuisinart and thoroughly churned into a slightly stringy mix. Once I tasted it the disappointment was complete as it tasted off, as if the dish had been around a bit too long. I was able to have a very pleasant conversation with the manager who offered any and all options to rectify the situation-I chose a refund.The dessert choice here today was a delectable looking raspberry tart-fresh berries perched on top of a light cream filling in a shortbread style crust. Every bite was wonderful. Wish I’d chosen to buy one to take with. I will say that if you enjoy French pastry or a slice of French style café culture this spot should fill the bill when visiting Los Angeles. It’s going to be a staple of our dining whenever we visit for sure.

Great pastries and breads, super cute outdoor seating.
Overpriced.Hollandaise sauce was bitter and the bacon was not a good quality.I expected more from this place.
Great taste best breakfast in downtown LA nice environment and friendly stuff
Visited Pitchoun! for the fist time yesterday and loved our experience there.It's located in heart of Downtown LA by the courts and Pershing Square. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating and carefully follow COVID protocols.They offer a large variety of sweet and savory pastries, desserts, brunch items and coffee drinks.We ordered the egg tomato focaccia, turkey croissant, peach danish and matcha lattes.The matcha lattes are very mild in taste and come in beautiful big mugs (Keep in mind that the matcha latte is unsweetened).Will definitely be visiting Pitchoun! the next time I am in Downtown LA.
