The worker-owned cooperative has grown into a chronically busy local favorite for its overflowing pastry case of picturesque cakes, focaccia sandwiches layered with shaved mortadella, and flaky biscuits flecked with chive and Gruy\u00e8re. Even more than a decade after opening, Proof tends to sell out every day; by mid-morning the options can be scant, meaning this is a <a href=\"https:\/\/la.eater.com\/maps\/best-bakeries-los-angeles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bakery worth waking up early for<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Young Atwater parents with their Nuna strollers out for a morning walk and coffee, television writers escaping the Burbank studio bubble for a mid-day sandwich, and regulars swinging by for an 11 a.m. Americano.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">After picking up pastries, head across the street to shoppy shop Wine + Eggs for artisanal tea towels, fig-shaped candles, and a wide selection of wine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Lunch sandwiches don\u2019t come out until 11:30 a.m.; if hellbent on securing one, be sure to time your arrival with when they hit the case, as they tend to move quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Atwater Village\u2019s Proof Bakery makes itself known long before the storefront comes into view, casting the heady scent&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127213,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[28829,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":{"0":"post-127212","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-dining-reports","9":"tag-la","10":"tag-la-headlines","11":"tag-la-news","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","14":"tag-los-angeles-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
