Whether paired with a cup of coffee over a leisurely morning or after dinner for a decadent treat, an incredible pastry can easily be the highlight of your entire day. Take it from the Azarang brothers, the sibling duo behind Artelice Patîsserie—with locations across Los Angeles, including West L.A., Burbank and, most recently, Studio City.
Quietly opening its newest location off Ventura Blvd., the Studio City space stays true to the elegant and simplistic interiors at the prior two hot spots. Expect the same flakey, buttery pastries synonymous with the brand, from the classic Napoleon with Madagascar vanilla ganache to the Persian Princess featuring pistachio, orange blossom and rose—perfect for a Valentine’s Day treat.

As you walk in and select a picturesque box of butter croissants, vibrant macarons and glossy mango éclairs, know each pastry is crafted with masterful intention. Farid Azarang, the head pastry chef behind the brand, trained with the professionals at France’s renowned cooking school—Le Cordon Bleu—in 2012.
While he brings culinary expertise and whimsical craftsmanship to the brand, Saeed Azarang leads the operational side of the business, backed by his experience in mechanical engineering. Together, the two launched Artelice in 2017 and have received rave reviews ever since, even having the opportunity to cater decadent desserts to the 2024 GRAMMY Awards.

The Studio City location is already bustling with business—bringing pastry excellence across L.A. County, and the Azarang brothers continue to lead an inspiring trade. In solidarity with the community after the wildfires, Artelice Patîsserie pledged 10% of sales from all three locations on Jan. 17 to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, giving back to the city that continues to embrace its business with open arms.
Artelice Patîsserie Studio City is located at 12430 Ventura Blvd., Unit 100, Studio City. For more information, click here.
