Follow the scent of freshly baked pastries through Victor Heights' charming Alpine Courtyard to find Bakers Bench, an all-vegan viennoiserie from Jennifer Yee. The Culinary Institute of America-trained baker began experimenting with plant-based butter alternatives while working at Echo Park's Konbi before opening Bakers Bench as a Chinatown kiosk in 2021. The bakery has settled into its new home (literally a former house) with a menu of fruit-filled Danishes, yuzu poppyseed scones, chocolate chip cookies, and some of Los Angeles's best croissants.
