Karla Subero Pittol, former pastry chef of Here’s Looking at You, and a former Providence sous chef, Max Sheffler, had been looking for a space in echo park to open up an “elegant dive bar with food” per Eater. But I guess COVID hit and they’re now slinging quality pies, ice cream, sorbets, and lunchboxes out of their home in Echo Park.
I’m definitely looking forward to trying their ever-changing lunchbox Sundays! @hanhgry
Ordering is EZPZ. You simply pay through their website and they’ll email you asking for a pickup time. For new drops, check out their IG.
Contactless pickup in style:
two-hand side pie | nectarine, plum, strawberry, date, vanilla bean whipped cream
for the good ol’ cultists that worshipped Karla’s pies at Here’s Looking at You a few years back, you wouldn’t wanna miss this seasonal galette. the fabulous pie crust is oh-so-buttery with plenty of sugary crunch, but the star of the show is the lightly stewed mixed fruit filling that’s perfumed and delightfully tangy.
milk chocolate + buckwheat + blueberry ice cream
this one is a wowzer! who would’ve thought the trio of chocolate milk, buckwheat, and blueberry would combine so harmoniously?! i’m already thinking of getting another pint…for research as @PorkyBelly would say.
genmaicha + grilled strawberry ice cream
genmaicha is mix of roasted brown rice and green tea but the flavor is a bit overwhelmed by milk flavor. intense strawberry notes and aroma, on the other hand, shine through beautifully!
