16 Best Bakeries in Gardena

“This is said to be the oldest and most beloved mochi shop in the area.

We picked up a 10-piece assortment that included ohagi, injeolmi mochi, steamed buns, and various manju.

The store itself looks like it’s barely hanging on—honestly, you might walk right past it if you didn’t know what you were looking for.
But the flavors are simple, clean, and feel homemade. No artificial aftertaste or overpowering sweetness—just old-school comfort.

I especially liked the ohagi and the cinnamon manju.
One of my companions loved the injeolmi mochi and also the cinnamon manju, while another really enjoyed the steamed bun and the white bean-filled manju.

If you appreciate traditional flavors and a nostalgic, home-style vibe, this place is worth checking out.“

“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!“

“First time customer yesterday while waiting for my boba beast drink next door. Spent $29 the first time & tried various pastries. After eating two pastries I just had to go back & buy more for my staff at the hospital. Spent another $49 & left with a box full of pastries & the employee even threw in a freebie. Staff is friendly & answered my questions with absolutely outstanding customer service. I'll be returning to try the cakes! 😁🍰🍩 Plenty of parking too !“

“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.“

“Today was my time visiting this location the woman at the counter comes out a little rude .. I asked a question by it being my first visit.. I asked were the cookies in the counter day old she snapped in her response saying they would be in the basket if they were .. maybe she was having a bad day .. but I will be coming back everything I ordered was excellent. Slice of carrot cake.. slice of chocolate fudge cake.. and a bag of pecan chocolate chip cookies“

“My Mom like going to get cake from Bonjour French Pastry because this is a really good place for a good cake. I have some of the cake that Mommy like. The Matcha Cake is good. The Mango Cake is also really good. And I also enjoy having some of the Tiramisu Cake which is good. So I recommend going to this place if you want to get some good cakes. And also the limit to get inside is 6 limit so you have to be patient to get inside to get your cakes.“

“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.“

“Been a faithful to sweeties. They are the family official birthday cake bakers. Love all their cakes. They are soft and spongy, whipcrean is not too sweet, and they are always available to new designs with us as long as they ask they will try their best to deliver.“

“Was having a hard time finding a place that did a tiramisu cake and then found them through my google search. I order a cake and got it next day! Super happy with the result of the cake and the flavor was amazing! Will definitely come back to order again and try new options.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Authentic Japanese mochi works of art!“

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

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

“Beard Papa makes delicious cream puffs. They have an assortment of shells and fillings which you can create delicious treats. These cream puffs stay firm, days after they’re filled and still delicious. These make terrific sweet treats, gifts or a simple dessert. Next time you’re thinking of buying a cake or pie, get a box of these instead, you’ll thank me. The store front counter is right in front if you, its always clean and the staff are very polite. This is inside a Japanese market, you can shop for groceries and other food stalls too. There is plenty of parking in the lot.“
