For years, Kim Hung Bakery has been the quiet heartbeat of Downtown LA — hand-shaping pastries at dawn, baking with the same care your grandmother would recognize, and serving community one plate at a time.

Downtown LA
Kim Hung Bakery isn't a chain. It's a neighborhood institution on North Broadway — the kind of place where the smell of butter and yeast pulls you in before you even see the sign, and where the same faces greet you year after year.
Every loaf is mixed by hand. Every croissant is folded the old way, layer by layer. We don't rush the proof, and we don't cut corners. That's not a marketing choice — it's just how we've always done it.
Situated in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, we've become a quiet anchor for locals, office workers, and visitors who appreciate food made with patience and care. Whether you're grabbing a morning coffee and a flaky pastry or picking up a loaf for dinner, we treat every order like it's for someone we know.
A Downtown LA favorite —
served since day one.
Our display case is never the same twice. Here's what you'll find when you walk in.
72 layers of French butter and laminated dough, folded by hand each morning until golden and shattering crisp.
From custard buns to pandan cakes — flavors rooted in tradition, made with the same care as anything on the French patisserie shelf.
Long-fermented, crusty on the outside, tender inside. Our sourdough is a slow process — and we'd never speed it up.
Carefully roasted beans, pulled to order. A proper espresso to pair with your morning pastry — no shortcuts.
Birthdays, celebrations, or just because — we bake special-order cakes made to your specifications, always from scratch.
Something new appears every week — seasonal flavors, weekend specials, and limited batches that won't last until closing.
There's no industrial mixer running overnight. No frozen dough thawed out at opening. Kim Hung Bakery starts each day with flour, water, salt, butter, and time — and a whole lot of attention to detail.
Our bakers arrive before sunrise. The ovens fire up. The dough rises at the right temperature. The pastries are shaped with care, not rushed for volume. By the time the doors open, the place already smells like a good morning.
Every batch is mixed by hand, with ingredients measured and temperatures watched closely.
Dough gets the time it needs — no shortcuts, no accelerators. Flavor develops naturally.
Everything goes into the oven fresh. What you see in the case is what came out that morning.
We're right in the middle of Downtown LA — easy to find, hard to forget.
