Founded by Zack Hall out of an apartment on Clark Street in West Hollywood Clark Street Bread has resided inside Grand Central Market since 2015, skills originally learned at his Wife’s family bakery in the Swedish countryside since refined to make bountiful Breads and elegant Viennoiserie that have expanded nearly all the way back to where it started by taking over the old 101 Coffee Shop.
No longer 24/7, open from 7am to 3pm daily, Clark Street Diner nonetheless retains much of the former occupant’s charm thanks to Formica tables and worn-leather booths while a menu of old favorites has been upgraded by skilled baking and local-seasonal Ingredients.
Still featuring stone walls and tight spacing, the laminate menus reminiscing of days past on the ground floor of Hollywood’s Best Western Plus, it is beginning with Pastries that old fans will notice differences, Hall’s Dark Rye Brownie rich but cake-like while Cookies including Chocolate Chunk and Snickerdoodles outpace other spots charging 2x the price.
Just $4.50 for a Kouign Amann that tastes just like what one finds in the bakeries of Bordeaux and Brittany, and not forgetting Kardemummabullar or Monkey Bread, Pancakes come in a three-stack with Sonora Buttermilk, Strauss Butter and Real Maple Syrup while Chilaquiles use Free Range Eggs and taste better than the ones at Damian while costing less.
Brewing Coffee using House Roots Beans and spinning Shakes from Fosselman’s Ice Cream it should come as no surprise that both the Chicken Sandwich and Avocado Toast feature housemade Seeded Bread and although Cornbread trends far too dry that is easy to forgive when faced with golden Onion Rings plus the best Biscuits n’ Gravy found west of the Mississippi River yet.
