50 Best Bakeries near Encino

“The dessert box was a big hit even by seasoned bakers. The kids claimed their favorites first. I highly recommend saving your host time and worry. Take the best. My host had a sneak bite and energized with a huge smile to greet her guests with a huge smile knowing the grand finale was going to be stunning and delicious! BIG HIT“

“This is the real deal. Authentic French pastries with Persian flare. fresh delicious. The cream puffs are awesome. The tarts add made with real custard, and are my favorite.“

“Delicious gluten free cake. The absolute BEST chocolate cake I have ever had. Thank you for making my birthday extra special!“

“Absolutely fantastic Baklava! It was so good that as soon as I tasted it I immediately order for my daughter and best friend. So fresh and perfectly made.“

“Everything!!! No really the Sandwiches are the best, better that Brent's, and blows Canters away.“

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

“The manager is very friendly and professional. I am in a wheelchair, and some of the front desk staff ignore me. I came with my nurse. She waited in line twice and told them I needed to order, showing I was where the handicapped sign was. Both times, they ignored her and went to the next customer. When I said you sipped me, they said I have to wait in line. I did three times but they ignored my nurse. The staff also does not assist my nurse. She was sold two tiny cream cheese instead of the ones in the refrigerator. Plus i do not get a bakers dozen ever. They sell 12 but i say its 13 and they corrct me. I never have these issuss in Van Nuys. Nor when the manager assists me.“

“cappuccino and all the baked goods! 😁“

“HELLO THE BAGEL IS HUGE?? I find it extremely fascinating how Layla Bagels is right next door, although after having tried Jyan Isaac, I think they serve different audiences.

Jyan Isaac has more diverse offerings beyond bagels, from bread to pastries, and their cream cheese is absolutely heavenly with its stronger flavor, reminiscent of Courage Bagels’ cream cheese. The combination of everything actually on the bagel wins the Layla Laika but there’s definitely still some room for improvement in the produce quality when compared to their competitor next door. However, there is no line here and a lot more seating while still capturing the vast majority of the bagel-eating experience!“

“I have been going to Porto's since the 1980's..the one in Glendale. How elated I was with having them being in Northridge where I live. The food is terrific and the lines go fast due to a tremendous quick system they have. The catering for parties has never let us down and people you have invited that never have experienced Portos are thrilled. The cakes are delicious. What I do miss is not having the individual cake slices for purchase so you can experience the taste. They only have the neapolitan, Parisian, and carrot for slices. I've seen the menu change over time and do miss some of the items.“

“Never had a bad cookie here. I love how creative and simple their offerings are each month. For a small bake shop everything is crafted with love, from the decor of the shop, to the packaging, down to the fresh ingredients in each cookie. The Cheeto cookie got me hooked and I'll keep comitback for more!“

“We visited Sweet Angeles today and had the best experience. The staff were super friendly and welcoming - it felt like they were genuinely happy to have us there.
We ordered the chocolate, Dubai chocolate, and strawberry ice creams - all were rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The Dubai chocolate was especially unique and definitely a favorite. We also shared a piece of cake (so good!) and an iced coffee that hit the spot. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing.
The place itself has a really cozy and relaxed vibe - perfect for hanging out and enjoying a sweet treat.
Overall, it was a lovely experience and we're already looking forward to going back!“

“The best cookies you will find in all of Los Angeles. Creative flavors, quality ingredients, and made by the best people around. Highly recommend“

“Bostan by Grandma is all about attention to detail. The decor is immaculate, and the food presentation is equally beautiful.

The restaurant feels alive. No two tables are alike, every corner is decorated, and live flowers are all over.

The menu has a mix of traditional Armenian plates and Americanized offerings, along with an extensive coffee list.

And it really feels like everything here is meant to be shared. Not just because the portions are large, which they are, but because the presentation inspires conversation, whether it's from beauty or nostalgia. It really feels like popping into a long lost family member's house for a meal.“

“One of the best pain au chocolat and butter croissants I’ve ever had! Soft, buttery, and perfectly flaky. I’m not kidding when I say every bite literally makes you close your eyes, it’s that good!

Des Croissants Paris is a small boulangerie and patisserie you’ll find yourself coming back to over and over again. The service is great, and the warm, cozy ambiance is made even better by the aroma of the butter croissants. Everything looks amazing, but my absolute favorites are the croissant and the pain au chocolat. I’ve finally found my go-to croissant spot, and I can’t wait to return again and again.“

“Excellent place for all bakery products. This always a queue, soliciting the lovely Brazil. I loved the big Sangki bread and the Banana Bread. The hummus and yoghurt dip, what's awesome? It's her secret recipe for over the years. I heard conversations where the third generation had come to buy from the bakery. It is an excellent place to have your morning breakfast and start the day with an excellent taste combined with health. Reasonable prices great value for money“

“Also, Price points amazing.“

“Enjoyed our breakfast, very friendly staff, large portions, homemade bread and excellent service!“

“Baked bar is just an awesome little community hub! Having lived in Culver for three years now, it’s always packed for such a small space. The staff is lovely, great with dietary needs, and a positive environment. I also love how they have local products they sell, and their own homemade creations too. Anyone looking for a hole in the wall spot is missing out on this gem!“

“Our Ubber driver David recommended we check it out. It did not disappoint. we ordered 4 different savoury pasteries, not knowing what any of them were. All were delicious!“

“💖 We were just talking about how PERFECT your cupcakes are! The sweetness ratio is absolutely idyllic because the sugar does not overpower the gorgeous flavor. Worth every penny!!! 🧁“

“I was looking for a birthday cake for my friend and I came across Paris Baguette and it was right by her house so I decided to give this place a try because it’s look so good!
Bakeries are yummy.You can tell it made fresh and it wasn’t super sweet.Bread are soft and croissant are flaky and delicious! The strawberry short cake and blueberry one are great and those fresh berries are really good.
Service : Staffs are nice and friendly.
Vibe : Bright and clean and the whole place smell so good!
Parking : There are plenty of parking but if you want to park at the parking area right in front,On the weekend might be a challenge because still other business around there that use the same parking lot too but you still have a choice of parking garage as well.
Overall this place became my go to when I think about bakeries now.“

“I recently found this Vegan bakery, and I loved it! They have a good variety of pan dulce. They also have very good vegan tamales. I fully recommend this place.“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“I think this German coffee shop is very charming. It’s worth stopping by here and try the pastries, especially the Berliner. You might get addicted, they’re incredibly delicious! Overall, it’s a lovely coffee shop with great customer service.“

“**A sweet slice of heaven in Santa Monica!** Junior Cookies is an absolute *gem*. I came in for the cookies (which are AMAZING – warm, gooey, and perfectly crisp on the edges), but I stayed for the whole vibe. Their ice cream is ultra creamy with rich, dreamy flavors that pair perfectly with the cookies—highly recommend making your own cookie cream with ice cream with cookies! I was also pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee is. It’s bold, smooth, and just what I needed to balance out the sugar rush. Honestly, it’s rare to find a cookie shop where the coffee actually stands out, but Junior Cookies gets it right. Best coffee, best cookies, best matcha, and best ice cream in la! The place is super cute inside, with a cozy neighborhood feel and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. You can tell everything is made with love. The cookies and recipes are unique. 5 star bakery in LA. If you're in Santa Monica, **don’t miss this spot**. Whether you’re craving dessert, a caffeine fix, or just want to treat yourself, Junior Cookies delivers!“

“Tasty brunch spot in LA, we tried omelette and one other dish, and both were delicious. Addition of turkey and red sauce gave it a tasty twist. Serving size was generous and staff was friendly. Only parking I saw was on the street level which is free only on weekends and holidays.“

“Best cake place!!! Every occasion I order from here! Hands down my favorite cake place. Been coming to this bakery for years. Wouldn't change to another place. When I take a cake from here to a gathering they end up loving the cake, it’s just perfect.“

“Cookies are amazing. Customer service is also great“

“You know it is a good place when there is a line of people outside, eagerly waiting for their sugary delights.

Being from the Bay Area where there is no shortage of renowned bakeries and world-class menus, discovering Petitgrain was an absolute delight. This small bakery offers a robust menu of exquisite, carefully curated baked goods and old-fashioned loaves. Customer service is top notch as well.

Whether you have a serious sweet tooth or are simply a curious enthusiast, Petitgrain is an absolute must. Bring a little patience, as you will need it for the queue that can span half the block from the shop!

5 stars all the way! *****“

“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“

“I am submitting this as my informal petition to please open a location in the Bay Area. I miss all your baked goods, and am sorry I didn’t appreciate you enough when I lived nearby. I thought there’d be other bakeries, other breads. But I cant sleep until I’ve had your cardamom buns again; and when I do I dream of them. Send help.“

“My absolute new favorite restaurant! We were visiting family in LA from Chicago and they took us here, I ended up going three times in my one week visit. Cheese stuffed zaatar and the sojouk kachopuri were my favorite and the garlic chicken wrap was my husbands. Honestly everything we had was delicious and the kids kept asking for the pepperoni pizza and mini pizzas.“

“Crumbl Cookies is amazing! Each cookie is perfectly baked—soft, warm, and so flavorful. The rotating flavors keep things exciting, and every visit feels like a treat. The presentation is beautiful too. Highly recommend for any cookie lover!

Parking: Great location with plenty of parking!

Kid-friendliness: Clean and kid friendly place.“

“I come by here at least once a week, the bread and pastries are baked fresh daily and the workers always treat you like family. It doesn't look like much from outside but it's my go-to local bakery. I would highly recommend the jalapeno bread with creme cheese, but come early because they run out often by noon.“

“excellent bakery.......customer service. delicious treats. #miz_pound_cake“

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

“We were treated here by one of my rich friends and honestly, that’s probably the only scenario where a place like this makes sense for treating the whole family out. My family has a very high bar for food. People say I’m picky, and I’m like, “Please… meet my mother.”

Service-wise, this place is flawless. The staff is charming, attentive, and somehow manages to make you feel both fancy and comfortable at the same time.

Since it’s family style, we shared practically everything and with a party of seven, those plates add up fast. By the time the table was full, the bill was basically giving luxury vacation energy.

Out of everything we tried, the Radiatori Braised Beef Ragu was the clear standout. Rich, comforting, and the kind of pasta that shuts everyone up at the table for a minute.

The Garlic Knot bread was good, though we weren’t big on the pieces with the garlic ends. After some research (and by research, I mean a heated family debate followed by frantic Googling), we realized that’s a pretty common thing in restaurants — just not our personal preference. Oh and the drinks were on point :)

Overall, a lovely, polished meal… definitely best enjoyed when someone else is picking up the tab.“

“A really cool place. The dough is kneaded by hand. The smell of fresh pastries whets the appetite. The prices are great, and the taste exceeds expectations. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Don't think the staff are rude; they are very nice people (with a Georgian accent). I hope my review will be helpful to you.“

“This is a superb bakery for deserts, cakes & pastries in Woodland Hills! Cake was fresh and delicious. This is a business that cares about their customers. Special Thank you to Tim, professional. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious food! Great service!“

“My first time trying Mediterranean food and what can I say, the dishes were authentic and so delicious, especially the Fattoush Salad . Loved it so much. I will definitely recommend to my friends.“

“I love the ice cream and desserts at this shop.“

“We had an amazing breakfast! Definitely coming back! Ingredients are really good quality, fruits were really ripe and fresh, scrambled eggs were so gentle and nice, potatoes were great too. The flakey french toast was to die for. Thank you for such good quality of food. I would like to try all their other stuff as well!“

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

“My friends and I stopped by this Crumbl inside NoHo west so I can get their holiday theme cookie which is just a cookie with m&m. This store isn't that big inside but it works for them.

We found parking in the lot where the store is at. We just ordered from the little tablet since there was only one woman working and she was doing other stuff. The price is on the higher end but my friend used his reward points. Once the order was placed, the lady came to put it in a box for me. The cookie was alright, I think it needed more m&m“

“Hi how are you a chocolate frosting cake with butter cream on balloons from grandmas Sandy’s birthday for me yes“

“Just got a family gift box of these delivered for Christmas and man! Great wrapping and appearance! Very festive! NOWW, the taste! The best cranberry cookie (craizy 4 u) I’ve ever eaten! So excited to try the others, I don’t want to share!“

“Visited multiple times during our stay in Santa Monica. The donuts are delicious. It’s no frills, definitely not one of these new fancy donut shops. But the donuts are simple, tasty and reasonably priced ($10 for a half dozen). The folks working behind the counter were very friendly and helpful.“

“Such a hidden gem!!! Pounam the owner is amazing and soooo sweet!“
