Patisserie/Cake Shops near Culver City, CA

“I have known Kristy since she her original store at Abbot Kinney. She makes the most beautiful creations. But most importantly, her desserts are mouthwateringly delicious. Her desserts are both delicate and slightly sweet on the palate. Her background of French and Asian baking techniques are beautifully expressed on her dessert creations. Once you taste her desserts, everything else is secondary.“

“Everything I've had from here has been extraordinary. My favorite was a croissant-muffin filled with raspberry creme. Magical. The textures are perfect without being greasy. The savory treats are excellent, too. Note: I had no luck trying to find the Palms location. Best to go to the Maisan Macha stand at the Mar Vista farmer's market on Sundays. Come early before your favorites sell out! Updated from previous review on 2025-08-30“

“The bomb !!!! Thnk you Nour n Kay“

“Excellent deep dish style pizza.“

“We needed a birthday cake ASAP for a new employee's birthday, they were available on Postmates so we weren't sure what we would get! OMG we were sent the Strawberry Shortcake 7" cake. It was moist, not too sweet, with fresh strawberries. The best part was the real cream frosting! Thank you for making our last minute birthday lunch a success, we've found our go-to bakery!!!“

“Customer service is amazing. I am visiting from NY and would 100% recommend coming here. I wanted to stop in for the viral fruit pastries, after being disappointed at different bakery called Altadena Bakery. I got the mango one and it was amazing. My boyfriend also got a cappuccino which he enjoyed and we both got complimentary macaroons which were excellent. If you want to try the fruit pastries definitely come here!“

“Was almost lost when trying to find the outlet since it's located in a plaza that might not be visible if you're by the road side. Worry not about parking at the plaza since they apparently validated parking (yep! plus point for sure).

The gorgeously designed outlet only served grab and go since there's no seating on the spot. There were some outdoor benches at the center of the plaza though if you just couldn't wait to enjoy the goodies.

They offered bunch of sweets from Canele, Madeleine, Financier, Cookies, Cheesecake, and more; all of which did come in multiple flavors. So yeah, be prepared to be indecisive in front of the showcase. They were super helpful though in assisting you making your choices by recommending the favorite ones. It was nice that the price was decent enough for LA standard, so you could definitely opt for more than one or a couple.

For my initial visit, I started with the Ube Financier, which was kept in the chiller, maybe due to the cream on top. It came in spongy yet not too airy texture with luscious ube cream topping. It was decent, but not really my top choice. My second was their Earl Grey Milk Chocolate Tigre, which was basically buttery cake kinda similar to financier IMO, with milk chocolate ganache at the center. I definitely loved this more than the financier, especially the combo of earl grey and milk chocolate which to my surprise was awesome and helped balancing the taste to be not overly sweet. Another one I tried was their thick salted chocolate chip cookies, which decadently had crispy edge though I wish being more gooey inside as it's tad dry. Nonetheless, flavor wise I felt like classic chocolate chip with a sprinkle of sea salt indeed never failed. The creme de la creme, however, was certainly their canele which I was beyond thrilled to finally find in LA. I had my favorite one in London which I thought unbeatable, and it's impressive that LA now had something comparable to satisfy the craving without having to fly over 5K miles away. It flawlessly had that crispy coating, moist center, and just the right sweetness level. I surely made the right choice going with matcha as Brown Bag definitely elevated the overall taste with this matcha flavor and that matcha cream top. It was no brainer that their canele is NEVER TO BE MISSED if you ever paid Brown Bag a visit.“

“I am excited to share the heavenly news that Doubting Thomas has been fully endorsed by the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ, King of Wings! Congrats Chef Naomi!“

“I already had a problem trying to keep myself from going to Lou's every weekend to snag one of those delicious pastries, but now I've moved to the neighborhood, and am even closer. Danger danger! Lol. I can't say enough great things about Lou - The French On The Block. As everyone says the croissants are even better than the ones in France, the lattes are fantastic, and the service is also incredibly warm and personable. This place truly lives up to the hype, and deserves every bit of its success. 🥐✨😍“

“I ask for their water/ocean “decoration” (it’s just the whipped cream frosting). It’s perfect because we put our own decorations at home. The cake is perfection. The strawberry shortcake is perfection. The chocolate one is rich. Whipped cream frosting is absolutely perfect.

Just give yourself enough time to pick up your order because it gets packed so you can be waiting for a while. Even if it’s just a pick up.“

“KNEFEH a sweet breakfast treat in Lebanon and the Middle East, once you try it you will never eat doughnuts 🍩 again for breakfast. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“nice people, nice baked goods, good coffee, what else? just go see by yourself you'll like it:)“

“The best pastry shop in the greater Los Angeles area and perhaps all of LA county. You won’t find a stale croissant or over-creamed eclair here. No, this is not your average neighborhood bakery or pastry shop. Cool Bites is a legitimate patisserie in the truest sense, ran by an expert chef, with an exceptional amount of care and craftsmanship in the creation of each individual sweet. I recommend the pistachio eclair, which I see in my dreams once a week.“

“My favorite place to hang in LA. The staff is super sweet, the food is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, particularly the Ginger Margarita, the atmosphere is gorgeous—whether you’re inside the stunning deco bar or outside on the beautiful patio. It’s a true gem.“

“super¡¡¡♡ mi pasteleia faborita..los muchachos que te atienden..uff super amables y muybatentos..te sientes en casa...♡♡♡“

“First time customer yesterday while waiting for my boba beast drink next door. Spent $29 the first time & tried various pastries. After eating two pastries I just had to go back & buy more for my staff at the hospital. Spent another $49 & left with a box full of pastries & the employee even threw in a freebie. Staff is friendly & answered my questions with absolutely outstanding customer service. I'll be returning to try the cakes! 😁🍰🍩 Plenty of parking too !“

“Especially enjoyed the lime tart at my last visit.“

“This spot has been open for a while and I never tried it until today. I recently went to Paris and I loved the bakeries there so I decided to try this bakery which is very close to my house. It was really good. I chose the ham and cheese croissant. It was fresh and delicious. The coffee was good too. I will be back here soon. I plan to become a regular customer weekly.“

“Everything I ever had from Vienna Pastry is beyond delicious. The staff is wonderful. My favorite cookie in the entire world is made by this fabulous bakery. I live in PA and I never make a trip to CA without several stops at Vienna Pastry. The owner, Jaleh Rahban, is one of the kindest ladies I have ever met. I recommend this shop to everyone. Jane Dornsife“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“tiramisu was AMAZING. let's just start by saying that first. I wanted to order an iced Carmel macchiato to go along with it but that's when the guy said they couldn't make any more drinks because they had already cleaned all the coffee machines. They still had 45+ min til closing so that threw me off. It was late, yes, but that is why this spot is known because of thier late open hours. I think my experience would of been way better if i was able to try more items but unfortunately i couldn't due to employees wanting to close up & leave early“

“the best donuts in the world!“

“Amazing custom cakes, great flavors and good quality“

“I was very pleased with the fast service. The food was delicious and plentiful and at an excellent price Highly recommended“

“My stress reliever. I try to be there every other weekend to gets all my favorite“

“Its right in the corner. Its small but they have all kind of sweet bread. Had a craving. Plus the Birote/ Bonilla looked soon good. [ It was soo crunchy and soft from the inside. Ate it by itself????]. It wasn't packed. It was recommended so I had to go. The Lady who was there was Real Sweet--->no Pun intended. So Great Customer service. Sweet Bread was Real good to. I will be coming Again. Many Blessibgs to All and Stay Safe???“

“This place is extraordinary. Every bread has a unique name... special ones made Fri sat sun like this one it's so delicious it's some sort of rice pudding in the middle the tastes it's so delightful fluffy chewy not too sweet no one makes better bread than this bakery I go Sundays for this special one it's called "el TORCANTE "try it you won't regret awesome prices they even have big gallons of milk and coffee on the go I wish they can make a atole that would rock the guy that works there is supper humble and very nice ...“

“Ordered 3 cookies from DoorDash tonight. Easily one of my favorite spots to snag some cookies to cure that craving.The chocolate chip is a timeless classic packed with flavor with a punch of chocolate. Perfect mixture of flavor and sugar. Rating 9.8/10 .. The only way this cookie could get better is with bigger chunks of chocolate chips.Now let’s talk about the peanut butter cookie.As a huge fan of peanut butter this hit the nail on the head. By far my favorite out of the order. Each bite was silky smooth just like peanut butter out of the jar and a sweetness of salt and sugar to compliment it. Truly a delicious cookie and a must add to order!Definitely will order more next time!“

“Dear Paris Baguette, your pastries are always a comforting treat every time I return to Koreatown. I love stopping by after my morning runs at 6:30 AM. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly, making each visit a pleasure. There’s such a wide variety of baked goods to choose from, like buttery croissants, soft coffee buns, indulgent cheese tarts, delicious cakes, and hearty multigrain bread. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them! Everything is always fresh and top-notch!!“

“Korean Bakery. This is a famous franchise brand from South Korea.They make unique collection of fresh baked pastries and sweet desserts every day. Their selections are inspiration of French bakery (obviously right?)Fresh individual cakes and birthday cakes are always available.“

“While I liked the custard donut and strawberry cake slice I got, I was upset because I had hoped to try their black sesame buns. They ran out by then. The location is across from H-Mart, which is convenient. There are also many other restaurants in the plaza it's located in or around the bakery.

Would come by more often if it weren't so far from me in SGV.“

“Wonderful experience thanks to Jasmin! The cupcakes were a hit. My sister loved them. Jasmin helped me with a special order delivery and went above and beyond. She made the process so easy and clearly cared about getting every detail just right. Great service!“

“Great selection. Love the peach green tea.“

“Delish! And if you get there early no long lines!“

“drops by here whenever we go Wilshire Blvd. Family � 85 degrees from the first time twas introduced by my sis.“

“Small cafe style restaurant/bakery. We ordered the ham and cheese croissant and the smoked sausage roll. Both were very good, as was the iced mocha and peach tea. The mini cream puffs were divine, and we took several pastries to try at home. The service was friendly and the staff were very efficient. I'll be back to try the cheese tarts!

Parking: Crowded at store level but I noticed there was parking in the back and below store level.“

“Paris Baguette is always a treat, thanks to their amazing pastries and friendly staff. Fatima is especially wonderful—so welcoming and kind! Whether it’s cakes, croissants, or savory bites, everything is top quality. Highly recommend this spot for a quick, delicious pick-me-up!“

“I bought a chocolate cake for friends. It was really good. Not too sweet, moist and big enough for 10 people. I liked that the chocolate ganache wasn’t too thick because sometimes it’s more ganache than actual cake. It was well balanced and tasteful. They also have small portions for dessert. And the princess cake was in small and big size.“

“Me encanto el trato tan amable que las dos señoritas que nos atendieron 😉“

“Everytime.. it's my birthday i have to have my Flavorful delicious purple yam cake.. omg... just thinking about right now.. lol my lips ? are watering.. lol i have a smile on my face ☺.. yes i highly recommend buying or ordering from Red Ribbon bakery.. friendly customer serviceThe place is clean and neat.Thanks red ribbon bakery shopThey have a big selection.. just call ir stop by..A customer for lifeQUEEN Z..

“I'm come here mostly everyday and the service is amazing, they already know my regular order which is awesome and there Pastries are incredible. I recommend to everyone who passes by to come check em out it's always a good vibe here“

“Mango Lemonade Refresher was a bit on sweeter side for me, but a good refresher for spring/summer for anyone to cool down and like mango flavor. The service is quick since it was not as busy and on a weekday.

The location is on the 1st floor by the escalator. There is a paid parking garage within the plaza.“

“Excellent in all categories! We have ordered for our staff, and EVERYONE loves the delicious Mini Fruit Bites and especially the magnificent huge Baked Cookies!!! What a hit! And to top it off, rich Lavazza café!!! Can't get any better and, in particular, thank you to the wonderful Paris Baguette staff who are courteous, kind, and accommodating!!!“

“Highly recommending, their best seller, TRIPLE BERRY CAKE with their own French press coffee!“

“Dippin’ Dots served here!!!!!! They have a special freezer for it, not like the ones sold at gas stations. I am so happy, i have no idea where else its sold outside of malls/amusement parks/zoos

Parking: Large parking lot around the complex“

“Thank you Maria for being to welcome. It’s been a pleasure visiting and this store knowing that I will be giving great hospitality. Great to see a smile when craving something sweet and delicious. Although I forgot my review after my first visit here on Western and Wilshire is a great pleasure to return.“

“#LosAngeles #TheGrove #Sprinkles_Cupcakes

“Cute Temptation”

I once wondered what the difference was between cupcakes and muffins.
A muffin is a cupcake-shaped cake, and cupcakes are always decorated with sweet icing on top. So cupcakes can create artistic and diverse beauties.

Most of America's famous cupcakes have their own unique characteristics. It is loved for its beauty. Of course, taste is also important (in fact, famous restaurants have very good taste).

Sprinkles is the most famous cupcake brand in the LA area. In addition to the Grove Mall branch here, you can find it at Beverly Grove, Downtown LA, and Glendale Americana Mall.
What's interesting is that you can sometimes see this house's cupcake vending machine... It's a really novel idea, and it might be fun to find it in Beverly Hills and try it out.

#shape
The circle decoration that is the symbol of this house is very pretty.
Unlike other cupcakes, it has a cute concept, so it has the magic of making you want to adopt a puppy and take it home haha.

#taste
Like most American cupcakes, they are very sweet.
It may be too much for those who are sensitive to sweet tastes, but when you eat it, you will feel the combination of American sweetness and soft cake sheet. I tried red velvet and s’mores...
I liked the softness of the red velvet, which was of a higher standard than any other restaurant in Korea (strangely, red velvet in Korea doesn't live up to its name haha, it should be as soft as velvet...), and the s'mores had the taste of marshmallows in the cake, just like making real s'mores. The hidden bitterness of the dark chocolate balances the taste.

Magnolia Cupcakes in New York
Georgetown Cupcakes in Washington DC
And please remember that there is Sprinkles Cupcake in LA haha.“

“A little something special in the extremely ordinary”

#Paris Baguette #Paris Croissant
This is SPC's global bakery franchise that we all know.
Although it raised concerns that a large company was taking over the local commercial area, it is true that it was an opportunity for the transformation of local bakeries, and although it is not outstanding, it is a bakery that has the advantage of being able to enjoy consistent quality confectionery anywhere in the country.

Do you know the difference between Paris Croissant and Paris Baguette?
It's surprisingly simple. Paris Baguette makes its dough at the factory, delivers it frozen nationwide, and bakes it at each branch. Paris Croissants makes bread from raw dough and sells it at its branches.

I remember when I first encountered Paris Croissant in front of the Galleria Department Store in the late 1980s, it was truly a new world haha.

#Paris Baguette_in_LA
In the past, Paris Baguette was also popular in the United States.
Paris Baguette, which appears every now and then, was a nostalgic Haewooso where you could eat as much Korean bread as you wanted. Now that the number of branches has increased, it is less impressive, but it still serves as a hub for Korean bread.

#ordinary
No matter how much I try, the taste of Paris Baguette is ordinary.
There and there... The cake is there and there... The bread is there and there... The donuts are there and there...

#special
But there are small special things. These breads, which seem ordinary to me, are not found anywhere else. It is also a treasured place in LA where you can only eat Korean-style donuts, whipped cream cakes, cream puffs, sausage bread, etc. here. Because of this specialness, it seems impossible to hate Paris Baguette even though the parent company's behavior is annoying.

PS: K-bakery is popular among locals in the United States because it is diverse and delicious.“
