Lam Way Bakery is a small, unassuming shop on W Sunset Blvd in historic Echo Park. They specialize in sweet breads, sandwich bread, pastries and cakes. You'll find a variety of traditional, Vietnamese baked goods here with unique ingredients. Mooncake, a pastry associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrated throughout Asia, often includes savory and strange ingredients like shark fin, durian and lotus paste. When you see the word "Banh" everywhere in the shop, just remember that it translates to "bread" or "cake", spanning a huge range of buns, sandwiches and pastries from Vietnam. Their regular baked items are made fresh daily.
Since 1954, the owners of the Frisco Baking Company, Joe and Aldo, have been baking fresh sourdough bread in Southern California. Originally established in San Francisco in 1941, this bakery offers a selection of breads made with natural ingredients including par-baked dinner rolls, loaves, rounds, baguettes, Italian twists and sandwich rolls. Although this location is Frisco's bakery headquarters, it does have a storefront that serves the public on a daily basis.
