Our story
A family story...
The Place To Be is both a French bakery and a Café hold by a French family; Matthieu the Chef baker, Sandra who works in the bakery and will explain to you all of the products. Their 2 kids, Milo & Maé and of course Ewen, the Golden retriever that many of our customers already met.
The perfect place...
We come from Brittany in France, but used to live on the south of France (Marseille) for 12 years. Why did we choose to come in California? To live a new family adventure, to live the California way of life and of course to share our love for the French pastries and baked goods through an indisputable know-how.
Keep dreaming...
After several years of expatriation our dream continues thanks to you! We welcome you to our bakery and share a piece of France through our specialities. Come visit us if you are passing by in Santa Monica, you won’t be disappointed!
