History of La Conversation

• Philadelphia, January 1982
  Steven Carson and Michael Carmona jumped into a thirty -eight foot long truck filled with a friendship, a dream and several thousand pounds of baking equipment. Carson began his days as a baker in a bustling Philadelphia Bakery called "Conversation." He spent a yearlong apprenticeship touring Paris and the provincial French countryside where he honed and refined his baking skills. Los Feliz, February 26th 1982. "Carmona's Birthday." The truck arrived in Los Angeles. By June the partnership established their business roots at 2118 Hillhurst Avenue, They named their first bakery La Conversation. The name is simply the unity of the new life they started mixed with the old world they left behind. West Hollywood, July 1989. Seven years after the doors swung open in Los Feliz, Carmona finds a vacant spot on Doheny Drive just north of Santa Monica Blvd. After a fateful handshake the operation moved across town and has been serving the community of West Hollywood for almost thirty years. La Conversation integrates a European cafe with obvious American sensibilities. We use only the freshest herbs and produce from local Southern California farms. We bake using the highest quality butter, eggs and milk with absolutely NO preservatives. La Conversation creates over forty varieties of homemade deserts and pastries daily. There was no microwave on that truck thirty-three years ago and there is no microwave in the building today. We Prepare your Food to Order, This Takes Time and Will Be Worth your Wait. After thirty plus years in business, our friendship remains, our dream has blossomed and our appreciation for you keeps growing. Please let us know in· advance of all dietary substitutions and thank you for joining us. Sincerely, Michael, Steven & our loyal staff
