10 Best Pecan Sticky Buns in Los Angeles

1. Tavern:
So what number do we assign the pecan sticky bun that stands head and shoulders above the others? Can we make it number one, twice? We would if we could. This was by far the best Los Angeles has to offer. The interior crumb is the color of freshly churned butter, soft and tender, airy and light. The rich pecans are neither too sparse nor too overwhelming. The portion is manageable for one, but also enough to share. And if you ask nicely, the folks at Suzanne Goin's Brentwood restaurant will serve it with bacon on top. It's refined -- read, not overly sweet -- beautiful to behold and tastes exactly the way a pecan sticky bun should. Available daily. 11648 San Vicente Blvd., Brentwood; 310-806-6464.

If, even after THAT, you're still looking for options, the versions at Viktor Benes locations, Susina Bakery and the Literati Cafe are also quite lovely. Most doughnut shops offer one as well.
