While L.A. may be a town that seeks out sugar-free, gluten-free, calorie-free anything, flavor-free just isn't an option. Enter Mäni’s on Fairfax, the original bakery/café for the refined-sugar-phobic health freak. And, Mäni’s certainly creates baked wonders out of reduced fruit juices, malt barley, cane sugar, and other hippy-happy substitutes. Turnovers, danishes, muffins, croissants: all the usual culprits are here but in their trimmed-down forms. Even the cakes—available by the slice, as whole, or even vegan—are glorious and worthy of any celebration. The breakfast crowd is a given at this popular neighborhood spot while the lunch menu features an array of great salads, sandwiches, wraps, and a truly diet-altering chili.
