Corina Bakery

Corina Bakery is a counter-service bakery on Fawcett Avenue, a couple of blocks off the Theater District end of downtown, and it fills the gap between the coffee shops and the sit-down breakfasts: pastries, cakes and specialty desserts, ordered at the case. It opens at 7:30am on weekdays, 8am on Saturday and 9am on Sunday, closing mid-afternoon each day, which puts it firmly in the morning half of a downtown itinerary — before the museums open rather than after they close. The operator notes closures on Thanksgiving and Christmas. For visitors staying downtown it is the walkable early stop that does not require crossing to Pacific Avenue, and for anyone heading up to Wright Park or the Stadium District it is on the natural line of the walk rather than a detour.
