Normandie Bakery

Good brunch spot that has hearty portions and comfort food favorites. The atmosphere is casual and lively, especially on weekends. Warm service, but waits are common. The portions are OK in size and the price is OK for what you get, the food was served on time and fresh. I’d come back when I’m in the area.

What a gem! This place is the best!!! I was craving a ham & cheese croissant and they made it for me no problem and omg it is the best I’ve had in LA. The owner Josette is from France and is always in making sure the quality is perfect and her customers are happy. This is a true neighborhood spot that deserves all the support.

Breakfast was delicious. The portion sizes are really fair and they have some of the best fruit that I have had in a long time. Everything we ordered was cooked well, and they have a lot of great options on the menu to choose from. We arrived at 10 AM Saturday for brunch and were able to sit down right after arriving. Parking in this area can be tough at times but I was able to find metered parking a half a block away. Our server was also pretty quick and all the food items came out fast as well. We ordered the Eggs Benedict, which was terrific, and the French Toast, which also was delicious. The portion sizes are really large, and as mentioned, the fruit side was especially fresh and tasty. We ordered lattes as well which I recommend because they really give a large portion, and it had a great flavor to it. Overall a great breakfast, and I would recommend to anyone. I plan to be back in the future to try other items.

Standard, basic breakfast/brunch spot. Loved the location on 3rd and plenty of outside seating. Service was prompt and food was okay. The portobello omelet was the best. Salad was good too. The 3 mini cheese burgers were just ok but the fries were good. The ultimate breakfast burrito was NOT good. It had too much potato and I couldn’t taste anything else. Otherwise, it was a good place to grab a quick brunch.

The Food: The bread and spreads were top notch! The pesto bread was the best and cooked fresh. Both the pesto spread and the jam was made on site so it was super fresh. I had the eggwhich and fruit which hit the spot. The fruit was fresh also. The potatoes were a little lackluster in regards to crunch and flavor. The service: The servers seemed nice and helpful. We did have to ask for napkins a few times before we finally got them but it wasn't too bad. I would say service was 4.5/5 for that one reason. Location: of course the parking is difficult in this area but if you can find a meter (which is not exceptionally difficult on a Sunday morning) then you can park close to the location. You can choose to eat outside or inside. If it's a nice day, eating outside can be a pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend this for a breakfast/Sunday brunch location for a small group or couple.

Great brunch and the staff was super friendly and attentive. The Favorite - Omelet with goat cheese, spinach, sundried tomatoes, avocado, mushrooms, and basil; served with roasted potatoes and toast.

Super cozy. Jesus was our waiter and he exuded genuine warmth. I’m a fussy eater and he made no drama about me wanting to tweak things on the menu. Food was fabulous! Will definitely return.

Nice clean restaurant, offering good selection of breakfast options. The servers were very pleasant and attentive.

Very cute bakery/breakfast spot. The service was excellent, waiters were very friendly and food was out quickly. The portions are huge. Ordered the banana chocolate chip pancakes and thought they were good but a bit dry. The avocado toast was delicious and came with a nice salad. Do recommend.

The food was beyond our expectation, the staff made the experience more enjoyable with their friendly and professional attitude. Especially Bill who recommended the best on the menu with honest opinions regarding the food. Everything we ordered was amazing and tasty. All thanks to the staff who made this visit memorable in specific, Gustavo. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Visiting from Austin, Texas. I can say its hard to pick a breakfast place because there are so many. So we really pick this on at random. We weren't disappointed. You know it is good when the table is silent aftee the food comes out.

Loved this place! We had the chilaquiles & the open face! Also some of the best orange juice I’ve ever had, I’ve never tasted anything like it.

Love, love, love this little corner spot! I always sit outside and enjoy people watching while enjoying a good meal! If you're easily star struck don't come here because ur bound to run into someone but no one ever really makes a big fuss because those people, also just want to enjoy their meal and their "me" time. And one must respect that too. But service is great and food selection is good too. I love TOAST!

Such a nice place for breakfast! I really liked the food and service. I would come again definitely.

Toast Bakery Cafe is a quaint cafe, it’s a Los Angeles staple for brunch on 3rd street. Every time I’m on 3rd it draws my attention, outside seating is comfy and your not on top of each-other if you know what I mean. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. They are known for pancakes and toast, but the savory menu did intrigue me as well! So that’s what I ordered the stuff french toast, if you love banana budding and caramel and sweet it’s your go to! But I would consider this more of a sharing meal for your table! Cause just alone it was good but I wouldn’t want it all for myself! Overall, vibes were good and I’d definitely come back, gotta try more beverages and maybe try that burrito!

The Stuffed French toast was tasty. (It is served with a nut topping, which I skipped) I also tried the Key Lime cheesecake, which was delicious and light, with a more deli texture and taste, which I really enjoyed. Not too sweet or heavy. I will definitely go back to try other menu items next time.
