"Partnered with Krispy Kreme to create sufganiyot for Hannukah, though only available at Lodge locations." - Jaya Saxena
"This tiny bakery with a handful of tables is your best bet for breakfast in Culver. There’s not much in the way of eggs, but that’s fine, because instead there are huge slabs of avocado toast, a cured fish platter, and the world’s largest cinnamon buns. A newborn baby could probably use one as a very soft (and beautifully scented) mattress. They also make great pizzas, including a pan pizza that will unquestionably sell out unless you get there early." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park
"Chef Or Amsalam’s third location for Lodge Bread opens November 27 in Beverly Hills on Robertson, slightly north of Olympic Boulevard. He closed the original Pico location a week ago. The timing is ideal for Thanksgiving for the two-time James Beard Semifinalist who now operates from a bigger space to prepare sourdough bread, pastries, pies, cinnamon rolls, and shakshuka." - Mona Holmes
"Open since 2015, Lodge Bread is an enduring Los Angeles bakery that is still making terrific bread alongside pastries, and other breakfast and lunch items. Expect a full array of naturally leavened sourdough loaves, plus the famous oversized cinnamon roll. Also on the menu, find the fantastic (and vegan) fat pita, a breakfast sandwich, and a few different pizzas. Lodge Bread also has more locations across Los Angeles in Woodland Hills, Beverly Hills, and Pico-Robertson. A forthcoming store is slated for Pasadena in 2025. — Rebecca Roland, associated editor" - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang
"Lodge Bread is coming in hot this holiday season with a new Beverly Hills location opening on November 22 and two specialty pies. Head to the Woodland Hills, Culver City, or Pico-Robertson outlets for pecan or pumpkin pies." - Mona Holmes
