Peaches are thought to have originated in China, which is still the biggest producer of peaches worldwide.  In this country, Georgia claims to be the “Peach State”, but California produces the most peaches in the United States.

Peach season locally runs from early June until late October, but we think they are at their sweetest and juiciest right now.

Our Fresh Peach Tart has layers of vanilla pastry creme and peach puree inside of our almond shortbread crust.  The whole thing is topped off with lots of farm fresh peaches. 

It is a work of art showcasing the freshness of the summer season.  But it won’t be around for long, so come in and try one today.

Starting this week-end at Mäni’s on Fairfax.

From the kitchens and pastry chefs come a taste delight, our new Blueberry Cheescake Tart.
Only one word.... A M A Z I N G ! !

Mäni’s new service invites you to order online for pickup or delivery. It’s fast, convenient, and above all, delicious!

We’re excited to offer the speedy delivery of your favorite Mäni’s meals and bakery products right to your home or office.

A new favorite is the Quinoa Tabouli & Roasted Garlic Hummus Mini-Wraps. So refreshing and so healthful, these little bites have won rave reviews so far!

The BBQ Ranch Salad is making waves. Creamy and tangy with those crunchy baked tortilla strips atop, this salad has been a hit with the Mäni’s team and customers alike. In fact, all of the salads (like the vegan Caesar Salad) are experiencing a Renaissance in the café thanks to the crunchy, zesty crackers in the bowl (not to mention our new vegan tempeh and seitan options).

We’ve also had great reviews of our new Balkan Wrap. The combination of creamy Feta crumbles with our savory Black Bean Hummus is a longtime favorite; formerly the Pita Stop, we gave it a makeover to meet your requests. It has been flying out of the kitchen!

So, all in all, we think the new menu had a pretty fabulous debut. We love to hear from you! Email us or comment here to tell us about your experience with the new menu!

We’re excited to pioneer a new menu that continues our focus on fresh, organic ingredients and comforting, classic tastes. Most of your old favorites, our signature dishes, are still on the roster because they’re too darn tasty to let go. We’ve also introduced new combinations (like vegan seitan and tempeh in our sandwiches and salads, for example) to further our quest to serve delectably healthful food to our diverse fans.

Come by and check it out, and let us know what you think!

It’s an exciting time to be in the hospitality business, and especially the bakery business.  And it’s especially exciting if you have gay and lesbians in your family and friends and are attending their wedding.

For every same sex wedding cake ordered between now and November, we’ll donate 10% of the sale to Equality California to help defeat the November ballot initiative meant to take away the right to marry just awarded the gay community by the California Supreme Court last month.

We’re doing all our custom wedding cakes as usual and including more diversity along the way.

Pictured below was a quick wedding cake for my first marriage in 2004.

We’re now offering catering for corporate events and special events.  So call us for a consultation on any upcoming event:  Kristina, Senior Pastry Chef 323 964-0840 ext: 19

Mäni’s is creating our very own eco-friendly reusable shopping bag! Since your input is so very important to us, we would love your help deciding which one to make!

Which of these two bags would you be more likely to sport all over town? Are you a circle or stripe?
