We stopped by on a recent weekend and picked up a couple of items. Although we were too late to try any morning pastries -- the shop was cleaned out by early afternoon -- we did sample a slice of an almond florentine cookie, which was divine.

A raspberry cream cheese Danish sign I spotted makes me want to head back there soon. The shop also serves breakfast all day and lunch. L'Artiste Patisserie, located at 17312 Ventura Blvd., Suite A, Encino, is open daily 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (818) 386-0061. -- N.H.
