Diamond Bakery was a Jewish bakery located on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles. Founded in 1946 by Betty and Jack Segal, the bakery was sold to a group of Holocaust survivors in 1969, and sold again to a group of its employees shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, it again came under new ownership after financial trouble during the pandemic led head baker Ramon Luna to consider shutting the bakery down. The bakery closed permanently on December 3, 2023.
Diamond Bakery supplied breads, bagels, and other baked goods to various Jewish delis in the Los Angeles area, including Nate 'n Al's as well as Greenblatt's prior to its closure, and to synagogues including the Wilshire Boulevard Temple. The bakery also sold baked goods at its storefront on Fairfax Avenue, where activity tended to increase on important Jewish holidays.[1] Upon the closure of Diamond Bakery, its decades-old sourdough starter and bread recipes were sold to wholesale company Bread Los Angeles.
