Does LA Traffic leave you feeling down? Is the daily grind wearing away at your commuter soul? If this is how you're feeling, it may have nothing to do with traffic at all. It may just be that you're not eating enough marzipan. Think about it: when was the last time you sunk your teeth into a genuine Danish pastry? My sense is that you've likely been denying yourself this experience, whether you know it or not. Enter Hygge Bakery, to take care of all your warm, flaky Danish fresh baked good needs. I went to Hygge after it first opened and have yet to experience anything in LA as close to a Copenhagen style Danish bakery. I would urge anyone in the LA area to try their offerings as soon as you can. The custard, icing, and chocolate pastry called the "slice" (pictured below) is always a favorite option of mine, and the "snails" are also particularly popular. (I observed one man lamenting that he had woken up too late and his favorite snail had sold out.) Downtown is so lucky to have this gem of a bakery-- in fact, you might even find yourself making up excuses to go to downtown just to get a taste. Next time, consider stopping at Hygge before you're faced with a traffic jam: just imagine, instead of feeling bombarded by billboard ads or confrontational road rage, you'll be savoring some flaky pastry dough and singing your favorite road tunes. Don't forget to open your sunroof and take in a little of that LA sunshine. Why not make your commute to work a little more pleasant?
(Author's note: Exercise caution while driving and eating pastries-- That steering wheel could get a little buttery.)
