Hash Brown Heaven!

There are many reasons you need to take a trip out to Back Door Bakery in Silverlake but the one that tops the list is certainly the hash browns. Let's not forget to mention the croissants, muffins, cupcakes, cookies which are fabulous and fresh or the fact that they make all their condiments themselves. It's a little small, often crowded but it is a small price to pay for such magical potatoes and don't forget to bring your dog as they more than welcome that!
