Breadbar has opened in Santa Monica. It’s the third Breadbar outpost in L.A. The first Breadbar opened on 3rd Street in Los Angeles, followed by the Century City bakery. (None are affiliated with Paris master baker Eric Kayser anymore.) Expect more Breadbars....

Meanwhile -- for ‘bread-heads’ -- the Century City Breadbar on Sept. 20 will host bread historian Steven L. Kaplan, Goldwin Smith professor of history at Cornell University and author of ‘Good Bread Is Back.’ He’ll conduct a bread tasting, explain the process of tasting and discuss his extensive taste-testing research of bakeries across Paris. (Reservations required.)
