The Sweetest Things in Beverly Hills

Sprinkles Cupcakes & Sprinkles Ice Cream: Best for Late Night Sugar Cravings

The cupcake craze started in Beverly Hills with the first ever Sprinkles location. Home to the Cupcake ATM which dispenses freshly baked cupcakes 24 hours a day, the Red Velvet cupcake is the top seller and seasonal flavors like Key Lime in summer and Caramel Apple around Halloween are big hits as well. Rounding out Sprinkles’ empire is Sprinkles Ice Cream, located next door, which serves rich, slow-churned ice cream, sundaes, floats and the pièce de résistance: the Sprinkles Sandwich, a scoop of ice cream between two cupcake tops.

Chaumont Bakery & Café: Best for French Pastries & Bakes, State Side

Two former Parisians set up shop in Beverly Hills, bringing authentic baking standards and premier French treats to the city. In France, a bakery (boulangerie) cannot legally be called a bakery if the baker is freezing or otherwise storing raw or par-cooked dough before baking it. This regulation does not exist in Beverly Hills, but Chaumont is sticking with their homeland's tradition and only baking freshly proofed dough each morning at 3am.

Their hard work has paid off with celebrity chef Ludo Lefebvre calling Chaumont’s croissants the best he has had in all of the country! The offerings at Chaumont are as much a treat to the palette as they are to the eyes with colorful, handcrafted pastries lining their display case.

Edelweiss Chocolates – A Favorite for Over 70 Years

Edelweiss Chocolates has been a Beverly Hills tradition since 1942. Their discerning clientele include some of the most recognized names in the world from presidents or princes, to producers, entertainers, sports figures, and, of course, serious chocolate lovers everywhere.

All chocolate creations are designed and handmade in their Beverly Hills factory on-site.

Ladurée: Best Passion Fruit Macaron

Famed Parisian tea room and bakery Ladurée—a must-stop-shop for anyone visiting the French Capital for its heavenly macarons - arrived in Beverly Hills in January 2017. Visitors can indulge in a limited-edition mini trunk, and pink iridescent Champagne and red fruit-flavored macaron created to celebrate Jimmy Choo’s 20th anniversary.

With their heavenly flavors of fleur d'oranger and rose petal, these iconic macarons were warmly welcomed after a long-awaited opening. The Los Angeles and Beverly Hills locations offer passion fruit as their exclusive macaron flavor.
