superba food + bread

the cafe + bakery you want to be when you grow up

Sometimes, as one does in LA, you just have to sneak out mid-week and go sit at a cafe for a couple hours. Preferably a roomy one on the west side that opens up to the patio. Preferably one that isn’t too much of a scene, but still lives up to the hype. Preferably one where you can attempt to blend in with all the freelancers and boutique owners and influencers and directors who are living their best life taking “meetings” in Venice on a Tuesday afternoon.

Welcome to Superba Food + Bread (and Snacks + coffee). Aka my cafe of choice whenever I used to finish up client meetings early on the west side. In the grand master carb guide of LA, it has a solid place, anchoring the west side right up there with Gjusta. From breads to pastries to cookies, you really can’t go wrong. When you enter, they have their carbs lined up on the right side and their barista station on the left. Perfect for grab and go orders. Of course, they also have a killer seasonal menu that celebrates the best of Californian comfort food if your “coffee meeting” turns into a “lunch meeting” which (after an afternoon pick me up sweet treat) ends up being dinner too.

With new outposts in Hollywood, NoHo and Pasadena, it looks like Superba is establishing itself firmly as an LA staple beyond the west side.

Order this: literally any carb. bread. pastry. you can’t go wrong.

Amount of time to spend: good for a drive by or for an entire afternoon
