Vegan Bakery Near Me in Beverly Hills: Chaumont Vegan Croissants

Chaumont Vegan laminates every croissant with Proud Vegan butter it makes in-house from coconut oil, then sells them from a small counter at 145 S. Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills, open from 6:30 am Monday through Saturday. A slice of Chocolate Banana Bread costs $6 on its online menu, and a box of six plain vegan croissants is $30. If your vegan bakery near me search starts on the Westside, this is the French one.

The backstory is a pandemic pivot. VegNews reported in April 2021 that co-founders Frederic Laski and Laila Abddaim, who already ran Chaumont Bakery, converted the space of their closed Chaumont Street eatery into Chaumont Vegan. A HappyCow photo caption puts the opening on April 9, 2021. At launch the croissants were made with Miyoko's cultured vegan butter, but the bakery now churns its own blend, which it says is made without palm oil, soy, gluten or additives.

The FAQ is blunt about the rules. Asked whether everything is vegan, it answers yes: no dairy, no eggs, no animal products. The same answer flags the allergens that matter. Because the butter is coconut-based, the pastries contain coconut, most contain wheat, and some contain other nuts, so anyone with a coconut or tree nut allergy should ask about a specific item first. This is not a gluten-free kitchen, though the counter does sell a gluten-free date cake.

Start with a croissant, because that is the point of the place. The plain one shows off the lamination: shattering edges and a soft honeycomb center, no greasy sheen. Regulars on HappyCow keep pointing new visitors to the rose croissant, glazed pink and scented with rose water, which a reviewer recommended in August 2026. Chocolate, strawberry, almond, matcha and Earl Grey versions rotate through the case, and an orange-chocolate croissant has a following of its own.

Single croissant prices are not posted online, so here are the ones that are. On the Toast order page, Chocolate Banana Bread is $6.00, the GF Date Cake, which contains almond, is $7.00, and a Jalapeno, Olive and Cheese Roll is $7.00. The Strawberry Matcha Latte, 16 ounces, costs $8.00. For a real breakfast, the VEGAN Tofu Bowl is $18.50, and a jar of VEGAN Granola, worth taking home, costs $14.00.

The savory side deserves a look too. The case carries pockets and rolls built for people who do not want sugar at 7 am, including a vegan ham-and-cheese croissant and a pepper jack and pepperoni pocket on the catering menu. Pain suisse, the long rectangular pastry with chocolate chips and pastry cream, is another classic French shape made here without eggs or dairy. Pair any of them with a latte and you have a full Beverly Hills breakfast.

Honest call: the drinks are pricier than the pastries justify, at $8 for a flavored latte. If you are watching the bill, buy two pastries and a plain coffee rather than one latte and one croissant. And skip the online route on a busy morning. When we checked, the Toast page showed it was not accepting online orders, so walk in, since the morning bake is meant to be bought at the counter.

Catering is where the boxes come in. Six vegan croissants cost $30, six chocolate croissants are $33, six strawberry are $36, and six almond are $39, as are the matcha, Earl Grey and rose water boxes. The bakery asks for 48 hours' notice so it can bake the morning of your order. Its own drivers deliver only on orders of $100 or more, across Beverly Hills, the Westside and Central Los Angeles, with a distance-based fee.

There is a second counter at 2930 Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, open daily from 7 am to 2 pm. That one is shared with the conventional Chaumont Bakery, so the vegan items sit beside pastries made with dairy and eggs. If strict separation matters to you, the Beverly Hills address is the better choice. If you are near Bergamot Station or the Expo bike path, Santa Monica is the faster grab.

Timing advice: everything is baked in the morning, and the counter closes at 3 pm, so the full range is only on offer early. Arrive before 10 am for the widest choice of flavored croissants, and treat an early afternoon visit as a lottery. If the rose croissant is gone, the almond and chocolate are steady backups. Need a dozen for a meeting? Order through catering two days ahead rather than hoping the case can cover it at noon.

Make it a Beverly Hills morning walk. Beverly Canon Gardens, a small public plaza with fountains and benches, is roughly a block away and a quiet place to eat a pastry. Walk north past Wilshire to Beverly Gardens Park, the long strip of lawns and the Beverly Hills sign along Santa Monica Boulevard. The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, in the former post office building, is a short walk in the same direction.

Practical notes: Chaumont Vegan is at 145 S. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. Hours are 6:30 am to 3 pm Monday to Saturday and 7:30 am to 3 pm on Sunday.

Who will love Chaumont Vegan: Westside office teams ordering a breakfast spread that every dietary rule can share, French expats missing a real croissant, and Rodeo Drive shoppers who want a sit-down break that costs less than lunch. Who should look elsewhere: anyone with celiac disease or a coconut allergy. For them, a dedicated gluten-free vegan kitchen such as Cake Girl in Boyle Heights is the safer trip across town.
