“Always a pleasing visit 😇“

“Go here for the Mother's Day croissants! A powder sugar flaky toasty outer shell with soft tunnels inside. Topped with sliced almonds or with Nutella inside & in regular ($3.00) or mini sizes. Imagine with her favorite café & therz plenty of parking around.“

“Everything is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! We drove 2 hours for so many desserts!!! We will definitely be making more trips!!!“

“Creative take on traditional pastries and exceptional classics! Love the fun flavors, but a sucker for their classic chocolate croissant. The cookies are also sooo good, you’ll need to take home at least 3. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“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.“

“The best vegan baked goods around town! I had the cornbread, almond cookie (gluten free), chocolate chip (gluten free), and Armenian pizza with a mixed tea. So good!“

“Have you ever made a random desperate stop off the freeway because you were starving, and landed in a genuinely fantastic restaurant? Just happened to me at Zhengyalov Hatz. What a treat! Healthy, delicious, natural lunch from an unassuming strip mall. I got dessert, too!

I’m bummed that this place is so far from home. Maybe they’ll open one in the South Bay?“

“Busy on the weekends and mornings so recommend coming here on a weekday. We came here during Wednesday for dinner and did not have to wait. They were out of the chicken rice but had everything else. You order at the front and then get a seat. They don’t do reservations so best to come with a small group of 2-3. Highlights on the menu for us we’re the French Toast and Pork Belly Rice. The French Toast was sweet with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Overall, great place with good prices and would come back!“

“Great place for Pastries.“

“Going local-origin for my next batch of pumpernickel bagels. Choco-latte and Nicaraguan chocolate down here are legit crazy awesome!“

“Awesome spot these people are extremely nice and have great customer service! We bought 2 cakes and the cashier gave us a free slice of CHOCOLATE CAKE 🍰 im obsessed thank you so much would absolutely come back and a million times recommended! 💗💗💗🫰🏻🫰🏻“

“Visited here today from Pittsburgh, PA and these are, without a doubt, the best donuts I’ve ever tasted in my life (I’ve tasted a lot 🤣😝). I don’t usually review places but that’s how amazing these are….“

“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“

“This bakery is such a dangerous place if you love pastries because everything looks amazing the moment you walk in. There’s a huge variety of baked goods to choose from, and it honestly feels hard to leave with just one thing.

Everything I tried tasted fresh and homemade, with that perfect balance where the pastries feel rich and satisfying without being overly heavy. You can tell they put real care into both the flavor and presentation.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great place to stop for coffee and something sweet. Definitely one of those spots I’d happily come back to whenever I’m craving good pastries in LA“

“Home style Armenian/Middle Eastern Bakery that brings the flavors and aromas of my travels locally.“

“Family owned, amazing history, delicious borek. My favorite is the spicy cheese—it’s not really spicy but flavorful!“

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

“Found this gem on Google Maps while searching for some afternoon snacks. A little real Italian osteria run by folks from Italy. Tiramisu was on point, as was truffle suppli (fried risotto croquettes with cheese) that brought back memories of Rome. By the time I got there the pastry case was bare, but I did pick up an Italian sour cherry jam and a bottle of lemon soda, another staple during my trips to Italy. I will return for pasta & pizza. It’s little sweet place that needs to be found by more people!“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“Oh my goodness! This place was such a beautiful find. I absolutely loved all the options they had for gluten-free and dairy free. I got the lemon cake and two of the sprinkle cookies to bring home to me and my family. The bread options are amazing for gluten-free as well. I ended up getting their chorizo and egg for breakfast. Absolutely amazing food. On the side I got tater tots, they were crunchy and very tasty. Not greasy, which is hard to do when you fry something. We sat in the back where the wine area is because it was really hot that day so the ambience in that little area was very quirky and eclectic. It’s a very comforting delicious place to go visit if you’re hankering for some gluten-free, dairy free pastries. Did I mention the entire place is vegan!“

“Paul is very nice and made me feel so welcomed! He remembered me even though I've only been there once. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. If I recall correctly, he said that the strawberry cake ball, coffee cake, and a few others were popular picks.

There is only outdoor sidewalk seating (a total of 3 small tables with 2 seats each). The interior is tiny, and it carries the feel of a quick in-and-out pickup store. It's also right across the street from Pasadena's Central Park if you're looking for a stroll while you eat.

It's very transit-accessible. It's a 5 minute walk from the A line Del Mar station.

death by chocolate cookie ($3.85) - It's just a typical double chocolate cookie! It's a little gritty and dry (maybe it's gluten free?) but still delicious nonetheless.

coffee cake ($5.88) - sweet, with a flavor of cinnamon (not in an overpowering way). If you enjoy coffee cake, definitely get this, as vegan coffee cake is a rarity in Pasadena and LA.

ice cream sandwich ($9.25) - honestly, i think this was a little too sweet for me. The ice cream itself was plain vanilla soft serve, but when sandwiched by two entire chocolate chip cookies, I think the sweetness can be overpowering. Keep in mind that it also melts very fast (since it has the consistency of soft serve) and this makes it hard to keep the whole sandwich in shape. If you do not plan to eat it right away, I would not recommend getting this as it'll melt in a mere minute.“

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

“Gluten free pastries are hard to find, delicious pastries are harder to find but Cakegirl has successfully turned GF pastries a joy to enjoy. The cookies are so soft and flavorful. The chocolate donut although not fluffy and airy like what one would expect it’s more like an old fashion style donut, it’s soft and moist and most importantly chocolaty.“

“edit: i really love this place. the first time i went to it was magical. if there was a place i could go to for every birthday or celebration it would be this one!! going into the crazy koreatown traffic is worth the journey for this place. the aesthetic is so cozy and i hope many other people enjoy this place. upon entering you smell the sweet aroma of all the pastries

lovely matcha and matcha pastries. the ube pastries are also tasty. kind staff and cute space. there’s plenty of benches outside to sit and eat“

“As vegans, we have been to countless cafes and restaurants. ID Eclair is THE BEST of the best. Amazingly delicious, pure, fabulous vegan food!“

“This bakery is located in the little Tokyo market place! If you go after 6PM they have buy 2 get 2 breads! Since my shows end at 5 I always walk to the market and get bread from this place! The bread is so soft and the flavors are sooo good! Plus the staff is really nice and helpful! Support small businesses!“

“Friendly service I would recommend to everyone“

“amazing mochi!!! don't forget to check out their seasonal flavor“

“Great food �“

“I recently ordered a picture cake from Red Ribbon Bakeshop's South Vermont Los Angeles location for the second time, and once again, they made my family's birthday celebration extra special. The picture cake is such an amazing touch - beautifully made, delicious, and always a big hit with family and friends. We truly love Red Ribbon products, from the cakes to the pastries, because everything is consistently fresh and flavorful.

A special thank you to Ms. Chello and her staff for their outstanding customer service. Everyone was very accommodating, friendly, and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly with my order. Their kindness and professionalism truly made my experience even better, and it's one of the reasons I happily keep coming back.

The ambiance of the store is welcoming, clean, and cheerful, making every visit pleasant. You can really feel the warmth and hospitality the moment you walk in.

I am a loyal customer and will always consider Red Ribbon for my family's celebrations. Thank you to Ms. Chello and the entire team for always helping make our special occasions even more memorable!“

“Best cookies I’ve ever had ! Open long hours so easy to get cookies after work or on the weekends. Good customer service. There’s nothing not to like. Yummy“

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

“Long-standing bakery in Chinatown that’s probably become LA iconic spot to visit when around the area. Interestingly they might have kept most design unchanged so you could totally felt it in the store vibe.

It’s constantly busy throughout the day but they served very speedily and they had plenty of servers making the line moving in a blink. Good news, they weren’t cash only like typical similar store around the area.

They’re popular for the strawberry cream cake, but I chose to go with the custard bun and wintermelon pie as I wasn’t a fan of that kind of cream and spongecake.

The bun was fluffy and moist and tasted as good as the scent we could smell when walking around the bakery. Always loved when simple old-school stuff turned out good and stuck with people’s liking. The wintermelon pie base somewhat reminded me of the crumbly style mooncake skin, just that this one had unique filling. I loved wintermelon as a drink but this was my first time having it as pie!“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“Super delicious croissants. They rotate items very often last time I got the spinach salmon croissant it was super delicious. Today they do not have that croissant they have some other stuff, so if you see something that you like, get it, get two because next time it may not be available. The almond croissant was super filling. Usually pastry items are just like bite into air and I got hungry very soon. Not this little bakery everything tastes legit. Got the almond croissant ate it in the car at 9:00 something in the morning and wasn't hungry until 4:00 p.m. get there early because the parking is small and croissants sold out fast“

“sus pasteles riquisimos y siempre muy amables para hacerle a uno sus pedidos muchas gracias“

“Best egg tart & po tart ever! We saw the TV channel introduced this store, went in on weekday morning to avoid the crowds, the egg tart was so good, po tart has more flavor but I like both 😋 recommend eating right away while it’s warm! Definitely will be back.“

“I bought a strawberry and banana birthday cake 🎂 for my mother.
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.
😊 😁“

the only duffulty here is the parking, but that all depends on the time you come.

“Clark Street Bakery delivers a premium experience every time. Their breads and pastries are clearly crafted with care, and while they charge a premium, the quality absolutely matches it. I come here several times a week because everything, from the food to the atmosphere, feels elevated. The two managers, Ms. Nalani and Mr. Rafael, always greet me warmly, though I never need their help since there’s nothing to complain about. My only wish is that they didn’t close so sharply at 3 PM; staying open until 4 would be perfect. And the barista lady consistently makes the coffee better whenever she’s on shift.“
