Los Angeles French Modern Bakery

Praised in periodicals and television alike for our contemporary spins on traditional French recipes PLAISIR is a modern bakery and cafe that invites mouths to escape the mundane in order to experience the pleasure of food.

PLAISIR was founded by French pastry chef Philippe Dray. Philippe traded a career in high fashion to pursue something a little sweeter —his passion for artful desserts. Inspired by his grandmother, lifelong baker Chef Philippe continues to provide happiness you can taste, making PLAISIR L.A.’s premier French modern bakery.

PLAISIR has been voted by LA Weekly as the “Best New Sugar Fix 2010.”

AOL Citysbest.com voted PLAISIR as the Best Desserts in Los Angeles.

The LA Times described us as “not your grandmother’s bakery.”

With an array of chef-prepared dishes made from the highest quality natural ingredients our values are as simple and entertaining as each morsel we serve.

Wholesome Ingredients

PLAISIR uses pure ingredients like fresh fruits, organic vegetables, natural butter and imported chocolate. No preservatives or hydrogenated fats are used, so the flavors you taste are real.
