18 Best Bakeries in Pasadena

“Ooooooooweeeee... man, this place is awesome and delicious. Came here before all the Instagram and TikTok hype so there wasn't too much of a long line, but now the lines are too long!! However, I still recommend. Their chocolate croissants are sooooo good. For those who want savory, I recommend the Pesto? pastry. A little tip for the pastries at CAR, eat it right away. As time passes, the crunchiness of the pastry does decrease.“

“I highly recommend Yvonne‘s vegan kitchen. Yvonne has some of the best desserts, breads, and pastries that you can’t find anywhere else. I literally drive from Orange County all the way out to Pasadena because her desserts and bread are so amazing. Yvonne goes above and beyond and she is a very kind-hearted Soul and I would not want to put my money into any other business. Yvonne made a special birthday pie for me years ago over six years ago and I still think about it to this day. That’s how amazing it was.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free friendly“

“Wonderful, and super tasty! I was welcomed like family my second time visiting. Joesph has an amazing gift with people and baking! I have been back a couple times since and the yummy spinach pies, lahmajune, and good vibes have been my go to! Simple, yummy, and comfort snacking. Enjoy“

“This was the perfect size mini pies for all your cravings. Sweet & savory- love it! We purchased an order of 6 for 4 of us and left 2 for our host. Had the key lime, berry, variety of others. Didn't try savory pies but those looked yummy! We will be back“

“This location is rather new. They have no public restrooms but great parking options. The location was nice and line moved quickly. They only had one line open for ordering which caused a little line. We got the raspberry heart cookie, lemon iced and the heart sprinkle sugar. They were a little undercooked but still tasty. This is more like a self serve. The gal that gave us are order was really nice. Ten out of ten recommend downloading the app. They have great deals on the app.“

“I couldn't have been happier with our wedding cake! It was exactly like the reference photo and so delicious. I was having doubts about the other cake we had booked elsewhere so I canceled and two weeks before. I almost just gave up and ordered a cake from Costco and then I found Takes the Cake and thankfully they were still taking orders. They were kind, easy to order from and clearly did an amazing job bringing my vision to life! Everyone at my wedding loved the cake. It was perfect.“

“We have passed this donut shop for well over 20 plus years....out and about. Boston I decided to drop in and give it a shot coffee is better than Starbucks and their Maple covered donut outstanding. Young lady behind the counter extremely joyful.“

“The parking structure was easy to find. I ordered the cannolis and sfogliatelles both of which were amazing. The sfogliatelles were crispy, and the cannoli shells were crunchy. The orange in the custard/ricotta was flavorful! The cashier was very friendly and prompt with serving me!“

“Good vibes there and the decor is lovely and creative and really brings you in and great for selfies and photo taking while you enjoy your order . My favorites are the 24k Charcoal Latte and the Chagaccino . Those two are my forever “Go To” that I have to have when I go there when I’m not getting a cold brew from them“

“Very very nice place with very kind people. There is great BBQ as well as cobblers. The food was delicious the BBQ was delicious and not just one kind of meat. Chicken, pork or beef. I can’t wait to go again also it’s next to the movie theaters so this time I will eat and then watch a great show!Kid-friendliness: Need more seats for outside for customers but very nice place.“

“My new favorite bakery/cafe in Pasadena. Food and bakery items are delicious. I didn't care for the drink they made me and I mentioned it to them they didn't mind making me a new drink and were so nice about it. I was super nice about it and they really were welcoming of the feedback. I even bought bread and bakery items to good.“

The decor is classic and cozy, with an ambiance that is both comforting and inviting.The menu at Nothing Bundt Cakes features a variety of delicious bundt cakes, with a range of flavors and sizes to choose from.

“A sweet treat a day is a necessity! The speciality Guinness cupcake was decadent but not too sweet. The red velvet, a classic, had a perfectly whipped cream cheese frosting. Although the strawberry was good, it was a light flavor and not very berry-forward. Would definitely come back to explore the holiday flavors“

“I had to get a birthday cake for some friends who were both lactose intolerant and had egg allergies. A friend recommended Valentines. The people took my order and I got the can't the next day with a $5 discount to boot! Tastes wonderful and my friends loved it too. If you're parking be careful though. Pasadena cops are quick to ticket. I saw someone getting a parking ticket.“

“We were able to stop by yesterday during peak hours and man was the aroma of all the fresh breads and pastries just so inviting. Excellent service no matter how busy and plenty of fresh baked goods daily. Everything looked and smelled so good so we got an assortment of treats and devoured them.MY RECOMMENDATIONS (UNTIL I TRY MORE):- Morning Bun- Blueberry Scone- Pumpkin BreadI loved the sweet toasty outter layer of the pumpkin loaf! It's perfectly balanced in sweetness. The blueberry scone is just divine with a hint of lemon! And the morning bun your classic sweet cinabon with a nice toasty twist! All of these are a must try with your preferred coffee at any time of day.My next quest will be their dinning food :)“

“I wish I knew about this place when it first opened up. Seed Bakery's artisan breads are the real deal: no oils, preservatives, colorants or texturizers are used, and breads are heavy and full of fiber. It's no wonder Seed's sandwiches are simply amazing.“

“This is the cutest place ever! You must come here and have any of their food the chocolate chip pancakes are to die for. The decor is adorable, and the cupcakes are amazing! Two thumbs up, and five stars for dots Café. We will come here again.“

“It's a hole in the wall, but it's delicious! I live almost 2 hours away. My doctor is near there so I call and order ahead. They sell them in a little store by me for the same price, so IProbably won't be driving all that way to get them. I thought it would be less buying direct. I bought 3 dozen, called ahead as asked to. Still, the most delicious breakfast req I've ever had!“
