Artelice Patisserie

Between spots selling matcha soft serve, mango pudding, and cream puffs, there are more dessert options on Sawtelle than grains of sand at the beach. But if we had to pick one, it would be Artelice Patisserie. This upscale bakeshop (with another location in Burbank) specializes in elaborate and glossy French pastries that look straight out of an art gallery, from delicate caramel napoleons to mango eclairs and passionate fruit croissants. Everything here tastes as good as it looks for the most part, but if you want something small for a post-meal nibble, their multiple-colored selection of macarons is a good bet.
