50 Best Bakeries near East Compton

“La Doña Tamales never disappoints. Their tamales are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time I go. You can really taste the quality and care in the food. And the champurrado is sooo good -thick, rich, and super chocolatey, just how it should be. It’s the perfect combo, especially on a chilly day. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving real comfort food.“

“I have been coming here since I was a child. 40 years later and all though, the workers have changed, the recipes really haven't. The bread is usually fresh, depending on the time you come in. The prices have gone up, the good old days when sweet bread was $0.10 - $0.25 and bolillo that was 4 for a dollar (5 on sale). Although the prices have changed with the times, I'm happy most of the bread tastes similar. I would suggest trying them out.“

“Extraordinary bakery on 6th & Ohio! Organic! Vegan! Delicious and a kind staff. Thank you Guadalupe for your guidance.“

“So sad that this place is so far from me, it's pretty clean everything looks so delicious, the line when I went wasn't too bad and it flew by quick, that tres leches cake BOMB! My mom's not too much of a sweets fans but she loved the cake, it's a bit pricey.“

“I love this place I would travel so far just to try the cookies every week as they change flavors. It’s so exciting you have to try this place. Specially, in Inglewood the energy is so cool.“

“My first time there wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Upon going in they had a nice little crowd, the staff was nice and helpful. So my box of 4 cookies $19 was brownie batter, not bad, could use some nuts walnuts, or pecans, . My favorite cookie chocolate chip also could use some nuts walnuts or pecans and cooked a little longer. Next was funnel cake. Kind of like that one crunchy, not sure if it really tasted like funnel cake, but I liked it. Then cake batter thins not too bad either.“

“👍 have heard they are pricey but worth it. Can’t wait to try one“

“Stopped by on a busy Saturday morning. It’s a really nice and pretty spot to enjoy brunch with friends, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The only downside for me was that the pastries were a little dry for my liking, but overall it was still a nice experience.“

“Omelete sandwich and beet salad were delicious. Berry lemonade was refreshing. Pastries are divine.“

“This place is always busy. We find seating there at the counter and we do not need to wait for 20 minutes. We love the bean soup? And the apple pie was great.“

“We came most days during our trip to the area. Highlights were the vegan cookies, seasonal rose cardimon lattes hot, the iced vanilla latte and avocado toast. Friendly and creative staff. Also tried the pistachio chocolate croissant and the sweet scone. Everything was awesome! I wouldn’t order the sweet scone again (wasn’t that sweet) but everything overall was so nice and the service was so pleasant. They are a very nice coffee shop“

“I tried the thin cookies and the eat were really good. I had my doubts because I love the chewy thick cookies but Crumbl you did it again. Great chocolate chip
Thin cookies. Thank you for Allowing us to try it and now we will order“

“I go to this place every time I come to Long Beach, these are the best brownies I have ever had. The owner is super nice, and there is a nice vibe inside the store. I usually get matcha brownies and chocolate brownies, but everything is good here.“

“best food in Cali ,love it 😋..Ouaa“

“They BEST Bread around Been coming since I was a little girl 55 yrs and thank you for always giving me a calendar“

“Hey Brother Baker. Yes. Please.

The bagels absolutely rock. The pain au chocolat? WOW. But then came the turnover thing — excuse my complete failure to remember the proper name 😂 — and that may have stolen the show.

Fruitier than my best friend and flakier than my wife. 😂

Seriously though, everything we tried was fantastic. The pastries were beautifully laminated, crisp, buttery, and clearly made with some serious skill. The bread and bagels were every bit as good.

If carbs are wrong, I don’t want to be right. Hey Brother Baker is absolutely worth a stop.“

“Stepping into Twice Baked Baking Company on E Wardlow Road in Long Beach is an absolute treat for anyone seeking safe, allergy-friendly indulgences. As a completely dedicated gluten-free and peanut-free facility, it offers total peace of mind the moment you walk through the door.

“If you’re looking for authentic Japanese traditional sweets in Gardena, Chikara Mochi is a must-visit! Their yaki dango (similar to mitarashi dango) is absolutely delicious—soft, chewy, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet.

They also have a beautiful selection of wagashi and mochi that are almost too cute to eat. Everything is colorful, photogenic, and clearly made with care.

The staff were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the different sweets, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to come back and try more!“

It was so delicious!!!
Im very happy with their service too. The young man that helped me, was kind and respecteful. I will be coming back for future birthdays.
😊 😁“

“OMG everything here is absolutely delicious! I kinda want to keep this a secret but I also want them to continue growing and be successful. Real whole quality ingredients with real butter imported from France and unbeatable prices.

The only downside is that they’re a little far from me which is probably a good thing otherwise I would be there everyday!“

“I absolutely love your Pastries, the Vanilla Oat Milk was a recommendation from one of the workers and it was a hit!“

“Friendly service, amazing baked goods! I was excited to bring my daughter (a vegan), but I had no idea how much I (an omnivore) would love these pastries! I'm not a big baked goods person, but OMG, everything we ordered was delicious!!! We got an Ube ensaymada, a pandan cinny bun, a crinkle cookie, and a pinapig salted chocolate chip cookie -- every one of our choices was incredible!!!

We are looking forward to trying more things on our next visit!! We're also excited to try some savory items.“

“The bread and pastries are delicious, but unfortunately, I wasn’t impressed with the coffee. I’ve tried several different types of coffee here, but none of them were particularly good. I’d definitely come back for the bread, but I hope they can improve the coffee.“

“Good bagels at this place“

“I would like to recommend this bakery, they baked every day, so the bread always is fresh. highly recommend. tasty!!! A+.“

Overall will come back again and try other items on their menu.“

“Always hot bolillos 🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖“

“Butter Lab is a gem!!!! The desserts here are excellent. I ordered an assortment of crinkle cookies, Ube tres leches, pandan Basque cheesecake and a coffee. Staff was friendly and gave great recommendations. I can't wait to come back. My new fave spot in the SGV for desserts hands down!“

“Cool little place! Tea is as advertised!“

“This place is truly a gem, the quality in these desserts is incredible. The only complaint my family has is the portion size. The cake should all be cut to fit the size of the container as this is standard at any bakery that sells tres leches. If not the whole container at least keep a consistent size, we have bought multiple times in the past 3 months and plenty for our family and neighbors to try the different flavors of cakes and desserts and this is the one thing that stood out.

Not to mention, the desserts are definitely overpriced in general/vs the local competition in Downey. Portos and Tropicana have a wider recognition in the city and a large clientele and their prices are lower across the menu. You can get a trio which is a huge slice of cheesecake/tres leches/flan for under $6 and here at Papa Churros a slice of either is $6. If people will support Papa Churros due to quality and taste at least give the customers their moneys worth.

As I stated the quality is great, they definitely have a good baker making some great products from scratch back there. I highly recommend but try to get a slice of something in person vs ordering online for pickup or delivery.“

“Yummy everything is delicious“

“The chocolare cake I got here was good. Borderline artisanal with the flower sprinkles, multilayer, and caramel top layer. $12 for a slice. The kitchen in the back looked organized and immaculate. I wish there was a note at the register for which zero calorie sweetners were used.“

“fresh croissants are so good, I always come back for more! 🤩😋“

“Such a great experience! I called ahead to order 9 tortas right before a family trip, and the staff was so sweet and accommodating. They gladly took our order and had everything ready for pickup within just 15–20 minutes!

Ordering was quick and easy, and we were even able to grab some delicious cookies to enjoy with our tortas and mini bagel bites “lonchitas” for the ride. Everything tasted great, the service was wonderful, and it made getting food for our trip so convenient.

Great tortas, sweet staff, and fast service! We’ll definitely be back!“
