Gluten-free bakery Breadblok plans expansion into Silver Lake, Venice and Beverly Hills
The corner of Griffith Park Boulevard and Edgecliff in Silver Lake is getting busier. Breadblok, Santa Monica’s gluten-free bakery and coffee shop, will be steps away from Pine & Crane and Coffee Memes this December and will open two additional locations in Venice and Beverly Hills in the coming months.
Breadblok opened in February 2020 and managed to thrive amid the pandemic. The owner sisters Chloé and Celine Charlier started the Westside business thanks to the three generations of their French family’s devotion to gluten-free baking. Breadblok’s predominantly organic breads and baked goods are free from gum, soy and refined sugar with products such as bread, croissants, cakes, donuts, scones, quiche and sandwiches.
When Breadblok Silver Lake is open, it will stay in the former Enrique Auto Parts area at 1529 Griffith Park Boulevard from 7am to 7pm.
