Tucked on the corner of Sunset and La Brea, Nice & Sweet bakehouse has quickly established itself as the go-to spot for Angelenos in search of a versatile, welcoming space and delicious food. Whether looking for a morning pick-me-up, a productive afternoon study session, or a cozy spot to catch up with friends, this bakery provides the perfect setting for all activities. With a diverse menu that caters to every craving, Nice & Sweet offers an environment that is both vibrant and relaxing, making it an ideal destination for any occasion.
The interior of the bakehouse, designed by the renowned Kellie Patry, is a visual delight. Patry created a space that reflects the dynamic nature of the Nice & Sweet menu, with walls adorned in calming shades of green and pink. This combination creates a soothing-yet-invigorating atmosphere, perfect for starting the day with a pastry or settling in for a productive work session. These design elements are not only aesthetically pleasing but also thoughtfully arranged to cater to a variety of activities, from business meetings to solo relaxation. The bakehouse feels like a whimsical escape of sorts, reminiscent of a scene from a Studio Ghibli film. Its soft green walls are complemented by pastel pink and white tables, while neat wooden accents and potted plants add a touch of nature to the space. This careful attention to detail creates a spring-like ambiance, making every visit to Nice & Sweet feel like a breath of fresh air. The environment is both uplifting and calming, encouraging guests to linger in conversation or quietly read a book over a cup of coffee.
Nice & Sweet’s menu is as impressive as its interior, offering a wide selection of breakfast foods, pastries, lunchtime sandwiches, and decadent desserts. Each item is made with care, ensuring that every bite is a treat for the taste buds. For breakfast, guests can enjoy classic options like buttery croissants and flaky scones, paired perfectly with a custom coffee or tea from the bakery’s extensive beverage menu. For those seeking a more hearty option, the Breakfast Sandwich with eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, and garlic aioli is the perfect mix of morning flavors. And as the day progresses, lunchtime brings an additional variety of savory sandwiches that have already become fan favorites. One standout sandwich is The Sisyphus, a combination of house-roasted pork shoulder, Colby Jack cheese, pepperoncini, and smoked onion aioli, all brought together with the satisfying crunch of Lays chips on soft bread. Another popular choice is Nona’s Fav, which layers mortadella, mozzarella, arugula pesto, and prosciutto di Parma on fresh focaccia. These sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch break or as a centerpiece for a casual meeting.
For visitors with a sweet tooth, Nice & Sweet offers a range of desserts that are both beautiful and delicious. The Fluffernutter Pie, with its rich chocolate filling, whipped peanut mousse, and toasted marshmallow topping, has quickly become a star among patrons. The Chocolate Peanut Crunch Cake is another must-try, featuring a delightful combination of dulce peanut crunch and smooth chocolate Bavarian cream. And for those looking for something a little different, the Olive Oil Apricot Cake offers a unique flavor experience with notes of toasted rosemary, orange zest, and almond buttercream.
Beyond the delicious food and drink, what truly sets Nice & Sweet apart from other Los Angeles bakeries is its atmosphere. The bakery truly embodies the concept of “nice and sweet,” not only through its menu but also in its service. The staff is kind and welcoming, greeting each guest with a smile and providing top-notch service that makes every visit a pleasant experience.
