"COVID-19 update: Open daily (senior hour runs from 8am-9am) with a limit of two customers at a time. Cookbook Market, founded six years ago by two longtime Echo Park residents (who also happen to be married), is the serious home cook's culinary playground. The tiny, tightly edited space stocks plenty of daily provisions (farm-fresh dairy, organic meat and vegetables, homemade pasta, pickles, and salsas), alongside harder-to-find artisanal items (Anson Mills grains, obscure oils and vinegars, special spice blends). Aside from fresh produce and pantry items, you'll also find a host of flavorful prepared salads, sandwiches, and tempting baked treats by the counter. Order a cup of the espresso-based coffee and sip it surrounded by buckets of wildflowers on the benches outside. For those living farther east, a second Cookbook Market location has just opened in Highland Park. COVID-19 disclaimer: We are working hard to keep our listings as up to date as possible (deliveries, outdoor dining, etc.), but given the evolving nature of local COVID-19 restrictions, we recommend double-checking the information in this guide with any business you plan on visiting. Also, please note that we have not vetted any businesses listed within our guides for their compliance with applicable safety regulations."

Cute little market in highland park. They have great spread of pastries. I came here for Bun and Grandma sourdough bread, but wow it’s not inexpensive. $22 for a loaf and around $14 for half of loaf…

I loved this place and would get the sandwiches and prepared food all the time. Recently I went for a sandwich and some egg salad and i noticed the prepared food containers have changed to have smaller portions for more money than before. It was seemed like it was less than half a portion for +$2. I get times are hard but man this was disappointing. Also the sandwich cost have gone up almost +$4 since last year. Now it’s almost 45$ for 2 sandwiches and a side. I don’t know if I would be coming back after seeing these changes

I used to be a regular here, but the meat and cheese selection has gone downhill. They never have anything in stock and the shelves look awkwardly bare. As reported by the LA Times, Jon & Vinny (the owners) mistreat their staff, and there has been a lot of turnover lately. Some of their very best staff quit — and you can tell. Now, I have to make the trek all the way to Agnes in Pasadena because it’s the only place with a decent gourmet cheese selection around Highland Park. Really sad to see what happened to this location. It used to be a gem.

This store is very conveniently located along a busy strip of Figueroa. The prices are a bit high but the products and produce are fresh. They have a great selection of cold food in the fridge and an amazing deli and bakery section. I love that they have a bunch of fresh flowers for sale.

I love this place. Amazing selection of fresh produce, wines, cheeses and other interesting odds and ends. My wife and I shopped here as often as we can. Also noticing a lot of people in these reviews don’t understand the economics of running a small grocery store in such an amazing location (I’m sure the rent is high). For me, the convenience, atmosphere and quality easily vault this spot to the top of my list of favorite grocers in the area.

They just increased the price of my favorite snackwich from $6 to $10. A VERY small sandwich with butter, prosciutto and pencil french bread. I won’t go here anymore - they better hope there are enough trust fund hipsters to pay their Erewhon prices. Screw ‘em.

The egg salad sandwich is the worst sandwich I have ever had (and that is saying a lot). The caprese sandwich is one of the best I've ever had. Not sure why they haven't had it lately but as a vegetarian my options are limited. I cannot understand why they are choosing to sell that nasty egg salad sandwich instead of the caprese.

I love this place but don’t go early. They never have all the pastries items out until up to an hour after they’ve opened. Doesn’t make sense considering how many workers are there and also being a neighborhood shop you should have your goods ready for customers to consume at any time of entrance. I’ll continue to support but may just need to make the echo park location my go to shop. They may be smaller but they sure are mightier compared to this location.
