Platine Cookies - Culver City

I discovered this boutique bakery through a groupon offer. During my first visit I met the owner/head baker Jamie Cantor. Obviously LOVES, what she does! And takes great pride on all her delightful offers. My first order was for her amazing chocolate brownies. When I went back to the office, my car became an aromatic cloud of chocolate sky. I ate two of them as soon as I get back. My second order (for Passover) was for her signature flourless baby cakes — each a powerful explosion of complex chocolate textures and aromas. My next order will be for its charming Black and Whites – smaller than the typical New York version, but far more demanding. I cannot recommend platinum Bakery very enough – you have to try it yourself!

I came here on a group trip to try their wars. It wasn't disappointed. The baker was very well trained and with great ideas and a spirit of adventure shown in their biscuits and other objects. Chocolate chip, caramel brownies and sugar cookies as well as their signature boards that are like an oreo but handmade. On the savory side (the cat) there was a cheese buffer that I did not stop eating. I mean, I could have eaten the whole tray - so good. There is a storefront where you can buy items in what is really just a bakery – but a clean beautiful room.
