I visited Cafe Demitasse, a coffee shop located on 3rd and Wilshire in Santa Monica, four times in December, over the course of a couple trips to Los Angeles.
I tried a variety of their pastries during this time: the Ham and Cheese Croissant with a gherkin affixed to the top, one that looks like a spiral I remember really liking but totally forgot the name of, the White Miso Kouign-Amann with a thick syrupy layer presented bottom-up, and the Spinach and Cheese Croissant perfect for splitting. Every pastry was quite a treat and a big reason for the repeat visits. I also really liked the Breakfast Burrito, which came with all the fixins I want — egg, potato, avocado, cheese, and some kind of meat — as well as a few sauces in special pouches. Like their beautiful pastries, their coffee is made with a lot of care and precision. My dining companion and I enjoyed our respective lattes and cappuccinos.
It is very likely I will return to Cafe Demitasse when I'm looking for a caffeinated beverage and an innovative pastry in Santa Monica. Since it seems like their pastry selection changes, I'm not sure what I'll have next, but I know it'll be well-made and photogenic.
