Reflective & Joyous
Le Bon Garçon stands at the intersection of queer and Asian American identity as an expression of camaraderie and the search for belonging.
Our founder & head chef, Justin Chao started Le Bon Garcon inspired by a year abroad in Paris learning French confectionery technique. He now finds himself returning to the joys of his childhood spent in LA Chinatown and the dynamic flavors he fell in love with there.

Creativity
We take inspiration from the myriad of people and places that create our community, and experiment with flavors that excite us. We set our own standards of vibrant expression, and aren’t restrained by standards that weren’t set by us.

Quality Ingredients
We take pride in sourcing the best ingredients for our caramels and building strong relationships with our local farming communities and small businesses. Our founder and head chef visits the Hollywood Farmers’ Market weekly to stay up to date on what’s in season and hand-pick fresh produce.

A Precious Process
Our most precious ingredient is time! We craft each small batch of caramel by slow-cooking our ingredients in traditional copper pots, carefully adding butter, sugar, and cream at precise times over the course of a full day. This ensures perfect balance between rich, deep flavor and soft, tender texture.
