Republique

Margarita Manzke oversees the baking and pastry operation at the former La Brea Bakery (and Campanile) space, resulting in fantastic renditions of French and American staples, from croissants and cookies to house-baked baguettes. In 2023, Manzke won the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker. Make sure to try the bomboloni, filled with the choice of creme brulee, matcha rose, or chocolate hazelnut.
