22 Best Bakeries in Gardena

“I love how beautiful everything is presented, truly works of art! Always fresh and delicious, so go early because they sell out quickly! Two versions of the Sakura mochi (not pictured because I forgot) are elegant and give you options for the traditional anko or the shiroan. You can count on polite, prompt service with each visit. They are CASH only, which I usually forget. Please go and support this small business that has been a Gardena favorite for decades!“

“I absolutely LOVE this place, it'd the best bakery in Gardena!!! I live in the Inland Empire and any reason for me to stop by and grab something I do.
We got the Strawberry cake for my mom's birthday which was made to perfection.
The service is always great!“

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

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

“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!“

“The pastries here are absolutely delicious—worth a visit for the treats alone.

However, my experience was dampened by the challenging parking situation. The lot is small with tight spaces, and someone actually bumped my car while I was inside. Additionally, it's common to see police and sheriff vehicles double-parked wherever they please, which is frustrating and inconvenient for customers who follow the rules.

Great food, but be prepared for parking hassles.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“been here several times, best bingsu spot in the greater area. always get the mango (best when summer season for peak ripeness). thought the cinnamon toast was alright, the flavors without syrup can't really compete though. the chocolate crepe cake was also okay, though for the price you should just get bingsu.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Hadn't been to one of these in forever. Forever meaning maybe more than 15 years, I can't recall. My sister picked this place for her bday dinner, and it was an excellent choice. I had the hot open face turkey sandwich, which was delicious. Tender, juicy, flavorful, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, all delisg! Except the cranberry sauce, that was more sweet than tart. But I'd definitely have that sandwich again. Thanksgiving was last week, but all the work, entertaining, making sure everyone has what they need and want, doesn't allow sometimes for full enjoyment. Everyone loved their food and pie slices. The server was excellent, friendly, prompt, made sure we had everything we needed.“

“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.“
