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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“GREAT food and atmosphere i love it“

“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! 😁“

“Finally got to try this boulangerie, and it didn’t disappoint!! Be prepared for a line, if you’re lucky not a long one. They use whole grain flour and amazing butter quality, the flakiness is insane even on the cinnamon roll which Im usually not a fan of and I think that I might go back just for that!! Also got the pain au chocolat granola which I can’t wait to try… it’s genius!!“

“What a fantastic gem. Lovely place, friendly service, fantastic breads. Would I do a 30 min detour just to eat here (mandatory in my rating scheme to achieve five stars: oh yes! Can't wait to go again and enjoy their back patio in the sunset hours.“

“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.“

“I was honestly blown away by how good their gluten-free cookies are. As someone who’s gluten-free, it’s rare to find cookies that actually taste like the real thing, soft, flavorful, and not overly dry or crumbly. These were easily the best gluten-free cookies I’ve ever had.“

“Walking into this restaurant was refreshing. It has very calming ambiance. Combination with the great healthy option and tasty food was a cherry on top. Green toast recommendation by Marina was a good option with flavorful Avacado on top did the magic. Couldn't resist shrimp toast and Classic oval tray from the menu. Food tasted really fresh and overall service was very welcoming and positive. Totally recommended for anyone who enjoys healthy food options, breakfast or lunch!“

“Hidden coffee and pastry gem in the Heart of Beverly Hills. Definitely a great date spot 🤫 Do not miss the chance to visit if you are a tourist 😋 For locals try their Salmon Bagel reminds me of New York 🗽
P.S. also they have luxury and bougie cakes 🤪“

“I needed a little European fix today, so I decided to visit Des Croissants Paris. First of all I just finished devouring 4 pastries that were in incredibly delicious!!! Top ingredients straight from France! But what made my visit an outstanding experience, was how lovely and gracious the staff was including the owner. We chatted about Spain and had one of those moments of community that are so rare in this city. I highly recommend this slice of French heaven in the middle of Culver City“

“Also, Price points amazing.“

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

“I arrived just as they were closing, but they still kindly sold me a piece of bread instead of turning me away. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the bread was simply divine—fresh, flavourful, and worth every bite.

Excellent customer service and excellent bread. I’ll definitely be back, hopefully a little earlier next time.“

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

“💖 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!!! 🧁“

“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!“

“I popped into Baked Bar on Washington Blvd in Culver City..Best decision I could have made! Not only was the food amazing but the service was equally amazing!!!
My new favorite bakery.
I went in for a cup of coffee…but ended up getting a cup of dreamy camomile tea, a 1/2 loaf of roasted garlic sour dough, a melt in your mouth bacon breakfast sandwich, and 2 Vegan chocolate chip cookies for my kids! What a haul!!
I love ❤️😘 this place!!“

“I came here Sunday evening because I needed to take pastries to a last minute gathering. The service was wonderful. Everyone was so helpful. I even purchased some cheesecake for my husband. He's very picky but he absolutely loved it. I'm definitely coming back to try their coffee drinks.“

“The smell of fresh bread 🥖 walking in is so inviting! Even though I choose the self serve kick option they still made the effort to try to help me with my order. Super rare to see that level of attention. Came in just before the crowd . Got the ever croissant sandwich- made to perfection.

The pastry and dessert options definitely worth trying one of each oh yeah, and that I mentioned the prices are super affordable“

“I’ve been coming here for almost five years. Their ham and cheese croissant used to be one of the best in LA with perfectly laminated dough, thick ham, and plenty of cheese. The shell was a bit dense and heavier than other bakeries, but that’s actually why I enjoyed it. It had a unique texture and feel.

Sadly, the quality has declined a lot in recent years. The croissant is now much smaller, dry, and skimpy on fillings. Today it honestly tasted like an airport croissant.

Coffee, Swedish buns, and other food are still great, and the staff are always kind. But the shop often seems understaffed and the dining area is not as clean as before. I still want to support them, but the overall experience no longer feels as special as it once did.“

“Finally I felt like hometown! Everything tastes amazing! Real homemade foods! 1000000% recommending!!!“

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

“**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!“

“My family and I have been coming here for years, and they always have the best quality cakes. They always provide great service and my orders are always accurate. We have never had any issue and we always appreciate the friendly and knowledgeable staff.“

“Great cookiesss tryna get points lol“

“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“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 a huge fan of Banana Pudding and this place has it. Magnolia is known to be best, but I beg to differ!! Schatzi's in my opinion is the better choice. The pudding is not just fluffed and whipped, it has actual solid ingredients and the perfect balance of bananas. My new go to!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been here twice now to have a coffee and work on their patio. I love it. I’m not a huge coffee drinker but love their lattes!! They also treated my dog to a pup cup. Everyone working is so friendly and nice. The food looks incredible - I’m excited to try it next time.“

“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.“

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

“Delicious food! Great service!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“These are hands down the best Crumbl cookies I’ve ever had. Every time I come to this location, the cookies are fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. The flavors are always on point, and you can really tell they take pride in what they’re making here.
What really keeps me coming back, though, is the consistency. No matter when I visit, the quality never disappoints. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the whole experience just feels worth it every single time.
I’ve tried other locations, but none compare to this one. This is officially my go-to spot, and honestly, I won’t be going anywhere else. If you’re thinking about trying Crumbl, make it this location—you won’t regret it.“

“Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. A special thank you to our server, who was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Great service and great food — we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

And big plus to David our server“
