“Hi everyone! I have been coming to this restaurant for years. I have always loved their tamales, their sweet breads, and their atoles. They are great. I have tried at other restaurants but the flavor are just not quite good. Come in and relax.....“

“Excellent coffee drinks, food and desserts. The atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for. Clean and inviting with indoor and outdoor seating. My Aunt is not a coffee connoisseur and she ordered a coffee drink that was not really what she should of ordered. The lady working here asked her how she likes her coffee and remade one for free that was exactly what my Aunt really wanted. Customer service that goes above and beyond. A++ in every facet!“

“Amazing assortment of breads! So many great pastries! A nice and relaxing atmosphere with friendly service!“

“They BEST Bread around Been coming since I was a little girl 55 yrs and thank you for always giving me a calendar“

“Extraordinary bakery on 6th & Ohio! Organic! Vegan! Delicious and a kind staff. Thank you Guadalupe for your guidance.“

“I've been having Joseph's for the last 18 years. Since my first slice of heaven, it's been my choice for breakfast pizza. And when I'm feeling Fat I get the Whole sheet, and I drive from O.C to get my fix oh wait and them Chocolate chip cookies... Ahhhhhh Pizza n Cookiiieess....! Thnx For the best pizza in my Vida. !“

“What a treasure! Authentic French pastry delights. Try the savory ones — especially the Curry Ground Beef. Enjoy a stroll around the beachside Riviera Village corner of Redondo Beach, then reward yourself with homemade treats from this family run bakery. Small businesses like this are gems to find and a joy to support.“

“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.“

“This place is amazing. The atmosphere, workers, and the food itself is second to none. I 100% would recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys well crafted sweets. I will definitely be back here soon!

Kid-friendliness: The workers are super nice, even to my kids!“

“I rushed there after work and so did many others. We were looking for Olivia’s Guts Tour cookie. I picked up a dozen of the weekly assortment including four of Olivias cookies. These cookies are delicious and huge! You order from the self-serv kiosk, it was difficult to only order 12 and in what combination. As you wait for your order to get filled, you see the employees busy working to fill the orders in a clean, orderly bake shop. The aroma was delightful and not too sweet. The decor is minimal with an open layout, so you can wee all the delicious cookies. This location has plenty of parking in the strip mall.“

“Open one in las Vegas. Before San Diego.“

“the product is not one to pass up and the owner is a fantastic person.“

“Excellent all around. It's very inviting inside that you want to get a cup of whatever and a pastry to hang out a bit. Plenty of parking here and the selection is big. I like their coffee here to go or to chill out a bit. They open very early too.“

“We ordered our food to go but sat in the lounge area outside to eat our pastry and sip our coffee. Our cashier offered to bring out my peanut little once it was done. It was delish!!! The gf vegan chocolate muffin was not lacking and I would definitely get the chocolate goodness again. It wasn't dry and was ooey gooey. The coffee was delicious too. Even the drip. The patio was also dog friendly.“

“love the chocolate maple pecan cookies, with black coffee, you can see a glimpse of heaven“

“I absolutely love this bakery! The pastries are fresh and delicious, and the coffee is smooth and flavorful. The staff is incredibly friendly, making it feel so warm and welcoming. It has such a cozy, homey vibe that makes you want to come back. Plus, the prices are very affordable, which is a huge bonus. Highly recommend!“

“I absolutely love your Pastries, the Vanilla Oat Milk was a recommendation from one of the workers and it was a hit!“

“Marsha was incredible. We were looking for someone who could provide all the dessert for our wedding, bring us something other than a traditional wedding cake experience, and also bring some extra flair to our big day. Marsha did all that and more. Our cake table was decorated so beautifully! She made the most delicious cupcakes of all different flavors for our guests to enjoy. She even made an ADORABLE cake topper for us that everyone raved about. In addition, Marsha made us a gorgeous, delicious, moist 3 layer cake , and she even was able to bring a ROLLED ICE cart too! People could not get over how cool it was to have rolled ice cream at our wedding, especially because Marsha had extra cupcakes to put in with the ice cream. She was so collaborative, easy to work with, and fun. Everything we asked her to do, she accommodate, often gently giving her sage advice along the way. We could not possibly recommend Marsha any higher than we do. She is absolutely incredible and soooo many people raved about their experience with her at our wedding. 10/10 for everything!!“

“For the most part the bread is always fresh. I think it just depends on how fast it sells. Conchas and Bolillo are always fresh. Cochinitos not always, it's my favorite bread and I've gotten a couple of stale ones. Parking here can be difficult to find.“

“The best basic sweet bread I've ever tried. You definitely can't only have one piece of señorita bread! They're pretty similar to Porto's Cheese Rolls except these are softer and almost feel like they melt in your mouth with how soft these are. It's especially true when they're fresh out the oven. These are cool to bring to the office one morning and sharing with everyone. Or take to your family after the day to share as a dessert. They offer other breads but the señorita bread is definitely the star of the show here. Give these a try and you'll probably get these instead of your typical donut.“

“Good bagels at this place“

“The most beautiful (and delicious) cake I have ever experienced. Thank you so much for sharing your art & talent for baking the best organic deserts in the world. Really exceptional!“

“These heart cookies with the pink frosting were literally my lifeblood in the early 2000s as a young chimp running around the AMS Elementary School.I came back here for the first time in a minute this weekend, now a full grown orangutan, and can confirm these heart cookies with the pink frosting ($1.50) are still literal crack cocaine. I really don't even mess with frosting on cookies usually, but Becker's is just different.I paired an americano with my cookie, as they now have a Hi-Fi Espresso in here which I think slangs some of the best espresso around. It makes me feel like I'm in Europe idk how else to describe it.I almost bought a shirt, but I have SO many shirts already so I opted against it. However, when I was doing my due diligence for this review a sense of regret shot through my spine like it was an epidural when I saw Beckers has been around since 1942. I had NO idea that Beckers has been around since Joseph Stalin was the Time Magazine Person of the Year. Still so crazy he was Time's Person of the Year.......The business is still in the family after 3 generations (Shoutout to the OG Harry Becker for kicking it off), which really makes me want to go back and buy a shirt. I love places passed from generation to generation. No wonder these heart cookies with the pink frosting still taste exactly the same as they did when I was just a little chimp.Some free game for y'all, if you go to someone's party in Manhattan Beach and they don't have a box of Becker's cookies, they are a big fat phony..... ahaha I'm playin but actually OGs will always have a box of Beckers for a function.I should mention that they also have a deli here that people love, but I've really only ever been here for the cookies. You know why I'm here.As the money and botox continues to move into Manhattan Beach, this is one of the 5 or 6 places left keeping the soul of what I knew as a small local beach town alive.THANK YOU BECKERS NEVER SWITCH UP! I'M COMIN BACK FOR THE SHIRT!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__“

“Probably the best dessert I've ever tasted in Southern California.“

“This is the best gluten free bakery ever! I love their food and bread! My gluten eating family will only agree to go with me to this place. Amazing taste and best quality ingredients! A special thanks to the chef! You are the very best! A true master!!!“

“I've been here a few times now between 5:30-6:30am, and the donuts are always freshly made that morning. The dough is light with that fresh-baked chewiness, not dry or greasy. I could say they're an above-average donut shop, nothing special. But, if you're in the area on any given day, you will probably skip all the other donuts shops around in order to get your donuts here. They definitely do not disappoint. Plus, the staff are always super friendly and welcoming.

Dietary restrictions: It's a donut shop. Go somewhere else if you're on a diet.

Kid-friendliness: It's a donut shop, all kids are welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: The parking lot has a pretty big slope to it in. Not sure if it would be ideal for someone in a wheelchair.“

“My new favorite!! We will be back!“

“By far the best pumpkin pie ever! The crust is amazing. Well done!“

“Absolutely delicious Beautiful setting too“

“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 !“

“9 out of 10 times, these are the best churros in the South Bay. They do one thing and do it well. They offer caramel and strawberry dipping sauces and are always friendly.“

“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!“

“A normal corner donut shop. I decided to try it out. Overall satisfied. Service was great. I ordered half a dozen donuts and got an extra for free ?? Giving it 5 stars because it is what you'd expect and the prices were decent~ Would come back for the donuts. Didn't mind my sausage, egg, and croissant sandwich. The blended mocha was yummy too. I do want to try one of their smoothies next time. Total cost for 1/2 dozen donuts, two blended mochas, and a #7 was about $21 if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, hella worth the price.“

“Excelente servicio . Pan y cookies son buenos“

“First time there, great customer service, very welcoming, I changed my mind on a cake, not a problem.
Best of all, everything is delicious

Kid-friendliness: Super

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, very clear“

“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.“

“Super clean locale! Great tasting coffee! The bread is delicious! I had their chocolate doughnut which was deliciously soft and just the right amount of sweet, I also tried the mini conchas, the mini croissants and the orejas and they were amazingly good. The prices are so affordable. Definitely a good choice if you visit someone and need to take sweets to share when visiting, everyone will love it for sure. The customer service is friendly and fast. This the place to go for authentic Mexican sweet bread!“

“donuts are always Fresh n good“

“Some of the best blueberry lemon scones ever. I’ve tried the cranberry and apricot which were okay. I love their breve coffee. I order from here quite often from doordash, just these two items and I would recommend. If they are out of something they usually call you for a substitute which is great.“

“Stop by to get fresh pastries - they also offer hot and ready to eat tamales“

“Good pan dulce, good burritos, and excellent bolillos and beans. The burritos are good but they only put 2-3 ingredients, for example if you order a carne asada burrito it’s only like carne asada beans and slasa. I can’t remember the exact ingredients, but don’t expect pico de gallo, rice, guacamole, sour cream, etc. Nonetheless, the burritos are tasty. My recommendation is the bolillos and the beans, that’s where this place truly shines. Parking is a bit iffy, it’s located right at the corner of a somewhat busy intersection, so be careful.“

“Everything is amazing 🤩 🤩“

“I tasted one of Caramel pecan praline cookies, and the soft chewy caramel just hit the spot. These are sinful!“

“The best bagel I’ve ever ever ever had. So flavorful and the texture is just amazing. If you like sourdough you have to try this bagel asap. The team is very nice and helpful. The scallion cream cheese is a dream.

Bought some bread to go.

Lots of free street parking“
