20 Best Bakeries in Gardena

“BEST wagashi in the West Coast indeed!

I waited to try the other wagashi place we found in the Sacramento area before reviewing this place and therefore we conclude, they have the best mochis!

Staff is super friendly and kind 😭 would really love to go here again if ever we are down in SoCal!“

“I just want to thank Miss Poima K for her professionalism and kindness. She is so amazing thank you so much.We were there to order a birthday cake, Miss Poima was such a good listener and made wonderful suggestions.She paid attention to every detail. You’re the best! A million thanks!“

“Kimberley made my daughters wedding cake and then drove it up to Ojai! The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing and she was a dream to work with! She is crazy talented, has a great team, a great story. Love her.“

“Great small location with delicious pastries. I've had most of them and I can't quite choose a favorite because they are all so good. Give this place a try and visit too. Don't forget to order their fresh brewed coffee as well. Yummmm!“

“First, I like to clarify the two store names (Paran Poong Cha and Blue Windmill Bakery) are the same bakery located at 15200 S. Western Ave. So my review applies to both names. This is our second time at the store and this time we bought a mini blueberry cake and 4 red bean buns. The blueberry mini cake is good, not too sweet and you can see the fresh blueberries. The fresh creme is not as light and fluffy as Angel Maid's in West LA and the cake is a little denser than Angel Maid's. Overall, the cake is enjoyable and is good alternative to Angel Maid's. Next, the red bean buns are, black sesame, sweet potato and traditional red bean bun. I have not seen so much red bean filling in a bun and when you pick up the bun, you can feel how heavy the bun is. The buns are very tasty if you enjoy red bean. The sweet potato red bean is a lovely surprise, it's one of the best we tried. The filling is a mix of red bean paste and sweet potato paste, so creamy and delicious, It's a hit in our family. Finally, the owner is very generous, she gave us two types of red paste buns to try. The red bean buns are between $3.50 to $4 each. We will definitely be back again! Note, they are closed on Sundays!“

“I love it 🍰🥰 so much I really recommended, it’s grate 🍰🍰🍰“

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

“My experience here at the Sweeties Bakery was AMAZING. I was put on by a friend years ago. In the year 2015. So now I’m ordering my cakes here for any occasion. The cakes here aren’t too sweet or bitter. They in the perfect consistency. I just recently order a baby shower cake and I’m hype to see the results. They also have pre made cakes incase anyone wants a quick and out cake to take for any occasion. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommend any friends or family to this bakery.

Update: I have gotten the cake for the baby shower. And it was just how I want it.“

“Korean coffee shop with tasty little treats. Came here for coffee with a friend on a weekday morning and there was a good amount of people. Tried the bagel with garlic cream cheese and the pistachio croissant along with a matcha latte. The food is self-service and then you pay/order at the counter for the drinks. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. Plaza parking is available underground but be sure to read the signs as some spots are reserved for certain businesses.“

“Such a great bakery! I had picked up a cake for my birthday yesterday they had a lovely Mocha flavor that tasted so good! It made my birthday a great experience by stopping by over here! 😁

Also the morning staff is very friendly as well if you want to enjoy a nice relaxed morning in a quiet area this is very nice to stop by :)“

“I came to Mammoth Bakery to pick up some baked goods as souvenirs before heading back home, I grabbed the mini Madeleines, green tea Madeleines, and two boxes of their assorted mini desserts. The staff was super friendly and polite, even giving me complimentary raisin bread with my order!

The baked goods are extremely fresh, delicate, perfectly sweet, and pair extremely well with coffee and tea. I absolutely love these and I'm so glad I got extra to bring back for my friends and family at home! Can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious desserts!“

“If you’re a first timer like me, you might be doubtful entering the store just like my experience as it’s not like the door was open or you could peek through from outside. Nonetheless that’s probably the way you knew it’s legit as the store didn’t even come in gorgeous presentation or whatsoever. Just simple showcases and an attendant, with cash-only payment.

Nothing looked fancy, but abundant options of both mochi and manju. If you’re not familiar, prolly simplest way to differentiate is mochi comes in chewy texture while manju is more soft bread-alike. The filling they offered varied from red bean, white bean, even black one! I got their Kinako Mochi filled with black bean and covered in soy bean powder. One bite and WOW IT WAS BOMB! So good and totally cured my craving for the ones I had in Japan. I could totally tell the quality was stellar and it’s fully stuffed with luscious filling making the price tag paid certainly worth.“

“Food is good (its spaghetti sooo..) price is ok, about 9$ a plate, they have Asian inspired dishes. Service is ok, small place, can get crowded.

I like this Gardena instation, but really it's just good basic pasta. Nothing to write home about, but consistent and good enough.“

“I came here to deliver 5 pallets of refrigerated yeast at LITTLE BROTHER BAKERY there are two companies here make sure you know which you delivering at FCFS from 7am to 12pm in a 53 ft trailer. I arrived at 5:30 am to park on the street and noticed the gate was open i drove in and went to the back at the dock door for refrigerated products at 6am some came out to ask what i had by 6:30am i was unloaded. they unloaded with a pallet jack driver is supposed to have his own. No bathroom that i know of but very nice people.“

“Authentic Japanese mochi works of art!“

“i have to say La Mousse has some of the best deserts I have ever had. My only problem is that I always eat too much because they taste so good.“

“I was visiting in the factory for a technical job, and I must say I was amazed buy how clean it is! all the employees was wearing masks, and the management was kind and nice. They gave me some cakes to taste and it was delicious!! Thank you!“

“Very cute spot ! Staff is very friendly and bilingual! Nothing like a freshly made concha , even the next day I warmed them up & it’s the softest and more flavorful concha I’ve ever had . All the dough seems to have cinnamon in it which adds such a yummy touch. I will definitely be coming back. Everything is so cute ; definitely a nice place to give sweets as a gift with their cute boxes.“

“Really good stuff here. Really catchy and popular spot on weekend evenings. Recommended was the injeolmi flavor, which has red bean, tofu, and a someqhat coffee taste. This was a must get. The grape and strawberry for those who like fruity. Also had the cinnamon toast crunch, really good“

“Nice little Mexican bakery I ran into on Gardena blvd. Missed breakfast and was looking for something quick. Picked up a small half round bread with some sugary topping and another one with some chocolate in the middle of a croissant looking bread. It was good for a buck.“
