Thomas Keller’s long anticipated Bouchon Bakery is set to open Wednesday in Beverly Hills. Bouchon Bakery is on the ground floor of the building that houses Bouchon Bistro. It’s an intimate spot that looks like a classic neighborhood boulangerie—though the neighborhood in question is now a bit west of Paris. The Bakery will offer traditional croissants (classic, chocolate and fruit-filled); sticky buns; muffins (banana nut or blueberry); tarts (chocolate ganache or lemon); cookies (Thomas Keller Oreo); chocolate bouchons; macarons; freshly baked bread; and sandwiches, salads and packaged goods. Bouchon Bakery is located at the first floor lobby of Bouchon Bistro in the Beverly Hills Garden Building between Beverly and Canon Drive.

There’s coffee and there’s coffee and there is Caffe Luxxe. If your a West sider in Los Angeles chances are your very familiar with this coffee haven. Caffe Luxxe has re-introduced the art of coffee with their craftsmanship, artistic inspiration, traditional proportions and drinking temperature. They uses Northern Italian style espresso that offers rich taste that is never bitter or burnt. Their Coffee beans are ground fresh at the time of order and the final touch is the barista’s signature milk foam art. My Favorite is there Cafe Caremello… Perfect to indulge in on any given morning! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

Anytime between the hours of 10:00 am and 3:00 pm on a Saturday or Sunday you should be brunching at Everleigh. Everleigh just jumped to my top 3 breakfast spots in LA… Following Huckleberry and Tavern. Whether your sitting in their enchanting front garden or their darling back patio, it’s a wonderful way to spend your morning sipping on a fresh squeezed juice or smoothie. Be sure to kick off your breakfast with banana bread with lemon and clove mascarpone and honey or the avocado toast. Other popular main dishes include the corned beef and scotch egg “bubble and squeak,” soft scrambled eggs with oak-smoked salmon and chervil hollandaise or my personal favorite the spelt pancakes with maple whipped ricotta and apricots with nutmeg maple syrup (photographed above). Literally the best pancakes I have ever had in my lifetime… I highly recommend them! Happy Brunching!. – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

The well known restaurant, Orso, has been replaced with Seth MacPherson’s phenomenal creation il Covo! I first ventured to the newly re-constructed restaurant two weeks ago for Father’s day dinner. Chef, Roberto Maggioni, has created the most exquisite cuisine to rival the Italian favorite, Giorgio Baldi. Look for sensational specials like seasonal truffles, as well as specialty grilled meats, Ossobuco and delicate seafood dishes like grilled Branzino complimented by a wonderful regional wine list. A must order for dessert is the Panna Cotta with Aged Balsamic Syrup… My favorite! When calling for a reservation be sure to book on the private patio. – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.
