16 Best Bakeries in Gardena

“I missed it first time passing thru because it was blocked by sketchy people waiting for the bus. When I turned around and parked, went in -saw it was cash or check only- so had to go find an ATM. But back. Pricey @$2.95/each or $35.40 dozen which was what I got. No discount at all ? I'd say it's good, softer and more sticky than other mochi I've ever had.. but not worth a long trip out. It's an hr. drive from me, but I had business/work nearby later that day so I could come early to try get some. Been trying to catch it for years as their open hours & my non-work hours never matched. It finally did & although was a real treat-my birthday gift to self, it's not that much special for the drive. I got pretty much 1 of each.. the best were the egg-like mung beans with sesame seeds, pink and orange mochi. I made mistake getting the red beans with sticky rice-don't recommend unless you're eating it right away.. it fermented more whilst inside the car as I was at work. The rest held well, may need 2 iced coolers packets not 1 small 1.

Parking: Street parking in front but it is on a VERY busy street and there's a bus stop in front so that's main annoyance.“

“I am very partial toward Japanese wagashi and I do compare them to what I had in Japan. So it is not easy for me to remark that although the wagashi is very beautiful, the taste was not that great, considering what the reviews have for this place. I drove 3 counties to get here and I had high hope that the taste would be good; but alas, it doesn't live up to the hype. Fugetsu is actually better. So I am rather disappointed. I gave this a 4 stars ratings because they are exquisite, just the taste was not up to Japanese standard. Nothing wrong with it, hence, the 4 stars.“

“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.“

“I ordered a bday 🎂 for 60 -75 people, and I could've fed way more. I haven't ordered a cake from them since my wedding 23 years ago and it was excellent and delicious😋 as I remembered! The cost was more than going to a grocery store to purchase a cake, but what a difference in a very positive way! I will be buying my bday 🎂from this bakery. Everyone loved it!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went for the first time this morning around 9:20am ish. Wanted to try getting into coffee and this was nearby. I got the iced banana milk latte, normally places I’ve been to don’t have a good banana milk coffee drink. This place had made it perfectly. Service was rlly nice, I was greeted by both staff and they were rlly nice. The asthetic is very nice and calm. A place you can go early morning to chill and work.“

“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.“

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

“Authentic Japanese mochi works of art!“

“I wish I lived in Gardena so I could go to MamMoth Bakery more often. My wife and I buy three loaves of their thick-sliced bread for breakfast toast. Even after being frozen for over a week, the bread tastes fresh and delicious. Also they have very unique Japanese style PAN: one with masago and mayo, another with corn and Japanese canned tuna, and a ham and cheese one. They are delicious and under $3 each. You got to get there early to get the PAN, though. They run out sometimes.“

“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.“

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