Compartes has been a Los Angeles icon since 1950, first established in LA over 70 years ago. Its rich Italian heritage was established by Mr. and Mrs. Compartes who aimed to create European-style chocolate confections in their Brentwood home. Soon expanding to the Brentwood Country Mart and then Montana Avenue, Compartes became a staple of the LA’s Westside, serving the who’s who of the country including Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, The Kennedys and Winston Churchill.
