Century City just landed a serious upgrade in its coffee-and-croissant game. Chaumont, the French-inspired bakery that launched in 2012, has opened its largest Los Angeles outpost at 2121 Avenue of the Stars, debuting on Thursday with roughly 5,000 square feet of cafe space, a full-service kitchen, and a menu that stretches well beyond pastry cases into made-to-order breakfast and culinary-driven lunch plates.
Fifth LA Shop Widens Chaumont’s Reach
The Century City opening folds into Chaumont’s existing Los Angeles footprint, which already includes Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Westwood, and it is listed among the brand’s current locations on the company’s site. The same site highlights wholesale and catering work that keeps local cafes and hotels stocked, underscoring how the business splits its efforts between customer-facing counters and broader wholesale operations; see the locations page on Chaumont.
Inside The Century City Cafe
The new Century City cafe, measuring around 5,000 square feet, is Chaumont’s largest dining space to date and includes a full-service kitchen that lets the team move beyond pastries into an expanded breakfast and lunch lineup. The opening is the brand’s fifth Los Angeles location and its second at an Irvine Company workplace property. It also lands at a time when Chaumont supplies fresh daily pastries to more than 70 wholesale partners across Los Angeles, Orange County, and Santa Barbara, with plans to expand to San Diego, as reported by WhatNow. Co-founders Laila Abddaim and Frederic Laski described the Century City move as a milestone for the business in statements to the outlet.
Vegan Spinoff And House Butter
Alongside its traditional viennoiserie, Chaumont has built out a dedicated plant-based arm called Chaumont Vegan and created a proprietary “Proud Vegan” butter. The Chaumont Vegan site lists Erewhon as one of the retailers carrying the brand’s vegan butter, a detail that illustrates how the company is pushing its plant-based products into retail channels in addition to its cafes; see Chaumont Vegan.
Workday Perk For Century City Tenants
The Irvine Company’s amenities brochure for 2121 Avenue of the Stars places Chaumont on the building’s dining and retail page, positioning the cafe as an on-site option for office tenants and visitors. The Century City location’s online ordering page shows weekday morning hours and an all-day breakfast lineup, suggesting a strong focus on the weekday office crowd; see the property brochure via Irvine Company and the Century City ordering page on Toast.
Chaumont’s Century City debut highlights how the bakery is blending French technique with Los Angeles demand for quick morning and midday options, from classic croissants to vegan offerings and wholesale partnerships. For menus, hours, and a full list of locations, the most current information is available on Chaumont’s site.
