17 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.“

“Great handmade mochi. Unique selection and great flavors. Be sure to arrive early as they sell out fast. They are also cash only but it's worth it! I will definitely be visiting again earlier next time to see the full selection of sweets!“

“I've only been once but I'm already glad this little gem is nearby. There are various pastries and slices of cake. You take a basket and fill it with your choices. I also saw whole cakes behind a case. Think a mini 85° Bakery.They have a light roast coffee that doesn't need a lot added. Also, plenty of seating. They were friendly. I intend to come back!“

“We had a great time from start to finish with the Butter End for our wedding cake. They had a cake tasting for us, where we got to sample several different flavors (you really can’t go wrong). They then went through the design with us, and were willing to customize our cake any way we wanted it. When we didn’t have many ideas, they took us through many options and helped us customize it to make a final product we were very excited about. The cake looked beautiful on the day of our wedding, and tasted delicious too! We had no issues and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The glazed donuts are sooo good. I eat to many of them. I was on my way to work and wanted to take some to work for myself. It was 7:45am they don't open until 8am. I was looking through the glass door with my lips poked out. I couldn't get to them I was so sad and they were in the case smiling at me. Bakeries in my hometown Indianapolis Indiana open at 6 and 7 am and close at 11pm. In Texas Shipley's close late as well. Can't no bakery top my hometown bakeries accept Torrence Bakery they're neck to neck. We have a lot of high end bakeries Taylor's, Longs, Hart's and they all been around since I was a kid. Our bakeries do not run out of donuts they bake twice morning and evening because they close late. I like Torrence glazed donuts please make more for the community you run out often. I love Torrence bakery it's 1pm no donuts left ?. The glazed donuts are so good and priced right...I want to visit the Torrence location ? I'm always in Torrence but never see it... The cookies are delicious too, everything in Torrence bakery is good. The best bakery in California so far. Torrence bakery is wayyyy better than Hispanic ? bakeries I prefer American Bakeries...“

“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.“

“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.“

“I actually went in this place hoping to try pastries they showed on the menu which are posted on photo gallery - heart ? as no Matcha pan or muffin, no Krone with matcha custard, no Honey Roast Nuts stuffed with chocolate, no Rhubarb Danish & the Brioche Bread were not available either. The lady I spoke with at the counter said those are put out during xmas time, so patience is a virtue, looking forward to it.On a positive note; I did buy the pastries on pics, great with tea or late. Pastries were semi sweet on the palate (were perfect) as well as the savory croissants for lunch. I found my fav to be the chocolate stuffed croissant ? Tomorrow morning going for a few more ??. The apple pie croissant was ok. Will try the peach croissant next time.Other than that, I was still happy with what I picked - the stuffed chocolate is a must with equal ratio chocolate to croissant. Staff is wonderful and place is beautiful filled with a variety of goodies for special occasion too. Impressed!“

“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.“

“This is a commercial bakery that has a small retail counter. Fresh baked organic baked goods can be purchased and they are amazingly delicious. Cinnamon rolls and Almond Croisants are the best. They are perfectly balanced without being overly sweet.“

“It was a neat and clean place. Strawberry matcha was one of the best I ever had. All the bakery menus have an online ingredients list. You can check beforehand. Almost everything had animal ingredients in them.
Or order was prepared quickly. They have nice seating arrangement too.

Dietary restrictions: Nothing vegan.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“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.“
