50 Best Bakeries near Hawthorne

“A bit disappointing that we came for the famous cookies yet for the week of Thanksgiving they were ONLY serving pies exclusively; not a single cookie.

The pies were very very good but it’s not what we came for and sadly we’ll be leaving before they begin selling the cookies again. 🍪“

“I pre ordered from kemlahcakes for valentine day to surprise my husband. Due to my leg surgery I am not able to anything for him this time just staying indoors. So ordered this customized cake with mocha flavor. This is beautiful and yummy cake. My husband loved it and I got surprised too as this looks exactly like I mentioned while ordered. The lady who took cake of orders and made this cake she is very sweet person I appreciate her for the way she is handling a customer very quick response. We might be their permanent customers now ????. They deliver to your house too. I am happy that I found KemlahCakes. ❤️“

“This place is great! It's hard to find good Central American bakeries but praise and glory to God for this one! They have different Guatemalan and Salvadorian tamales. My favorite are the Guatemalan pork tamales. Not everyone makes them right but they're delicious at this bakery. I also had their corn atole which is a hot drink and it wasn't too sweet (something most places get wrong!). Their assortment of bread (pan dulce) is AMAZING!!! It's always fresh and so yummy. I haven't had anything that isn't tasty, this bakery is awesome!“

“This spot has been open for a while and I never tried it until today. I recently went to Paris and I loved the bakeries there so I decided to try this bakery which is very close to my house. It was really good. I chose the ham and cheese croissant. It was fresh and delicious. The coffee was good too. I will be back here soon. I plan to become a regular customer weekly.“

“Came around 9am and got a few donuts along with a bacon, egg and cheese croissant. Donuts were nice and soft, perfectly glazed. It reminds me a lot of my aunt's donuts and I always thought she made the best donuts in the family compared to the rest of the family on both of my parents side. The croissant sandwich is good too, it has mayo, scrambled egg and bacon on a big croissant. It's good value for what you get, it's not toasted or packaged like you would get at any upscale coffee shop, but I still think it's good for a quick fix. Having grown up in a donut shop and being around family who also owned donut shops for 40+ years, I understand all the work and effort that goes into operating a donut shop. Whoever is the baker here at this donut shop is doing a wonderful job at making the donuts. Kudos to the operators for getting the right flour for the donuts as well.

All in all I think this is a great donut shop with a good selection of items without having too many things to sell like some other locations. I would come back here again if i had a hankering for donuts while I'm in SoCal.

But this is a nice quaint donut shop, and if you like softer donuts this is the place for you. But if you like the tougher donuts then I wouldn't recommend this place. The price seemed reasonable to me, especially with the cost of flour going up; it's justifiable in my opinion. There is no inside seating; only take out. The people working were friendly enough as well. If you got time, definitely give this place a try. Parking looks to be small but it wasn't packed like i had expected when i walked in that morning.“

“HELLO THE BAGEL IS HUGE?? I find it extremely fascinating how Layla Bagels is right next door, although after having tried Jyan Isaac, I think they serve different audiences.

Jyan Isaac has more diverse offerings beyond bagels, from bread to pastries, and their cream cheese is absolutely heavenly with its stronger flavor, reminiscent of Courage Bagels’ cream cheese. The combination of everything actually on the bagel wins the Layla Laika but there’s definitely still some room for improvement in the produce quality when compared to their competitor next door. However, there is no line here and a lot more seating while still capturing the vast majority of the bagel-eating experience!“

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

“Never had a bad cookie here. I love how creative and simple their offerings are each month. For a small bake shop everything is crafted with love, from the decor of the shop, to the packaging, down to the fresh ingredients in each cookie. The Cheeto cookie got me hooked and I'll keep comitback for more!“

“I love this place I would travel so far just to try the cookies every week as they change flavors. It’s so exciting you have to try this place. Specially, in Inglewood the energy is so cool.“

“The best cookies you will find in all of Los Angeles. Creative flavors, quality ingredients, and made by the best people around. Highly recommend“

“One of the best pain au chocolat and butter croissants I’ve ever had! Soft, buttery, and perfectly flaky. I’m not kidding when I say every bite literally makes you close your eyes, it’s that good!

Des Croissants Paris is a small boulangerie and patisserie you’ll find yourself coming back to over and over again. The service is great, and the warm, cozy ambiance is made even better by the aroma of the butter croissants. Everything looks amazing, but my absolute favorites are the croissant and the pain au chocolat. I’ve finally found my go-to croissant spot, and I can’t wait to return again and again.“

“Run, don’t walk. A fabulous find in the south bay! As good as it gets outside of France. Maybe better.“

“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 was excited to come here based on reviews and environment. It looked so cute inside and I was so happy to try it. I ordered a cold brew, but it was extremely watered down, so that was disappointing. The woman who took my order at the counter was not friendly at all, which really ruined the experience for me. It’s almost like I had no right to be there. I didn’t order any food, but the open faced bagels looked really good, so I gave the food 5 stars as a benefit of the doubt.
But I’m not sure I’ll come back based on the sour mood of the cashier.“

“Excellent place for all bakery products. This always a queue, soliciting the lovely Brazil. I loved the big Sangki bread and the Banana Bread. The hummus and yoghurt dip, what's awesome? It's her secret recipe for over the years. I heard conversations where the third generation had come to buy from the bakery. It is an excellent place to have your morning breakfast and start the day with an excellent taste combined with health. Reasonable prices great value for money“

“Also, Price points amazing.“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“Baked bar is just an awesome little community hub! Having lived in Culver for three years now, it’s always packed for such a small space. The staff is lovely, great with dietary needs, and a positive environment. I also love how they have local products they sell, and their own homemade creations too. Anyone looking for a hole in the wall spot is missing out on this gem!“

“Hi Bakery is a true gem in LA—a bakery and coffee spot that turns pastries into edible art. I’m so grateful for places like this that honor ancient fermentation methods with the absolute best, time-honored ingredients, including ancient grains that are stone ground and far more expensive than the commercial or conventional flour used by 99% of other bakeries. They could easily opt for the cheap stuff, but instead, they choose these premium ingredients to keep us healthy. Every bite feels nourishing and light; you walk away feeling energized and good, never groggy, bloated, or overly full. For the gluten-free people (by preference, not allergic/celiac folks), give this a chance—you’ll be so happy to have real pastries again! It’s a testament to the passion and care of the people behind it. There’s simply no other spot like Hi Bakery; thank you for existing!“

“Omelete sandwich and beet salad were delicious. Berry lemonade was refreshing. Pastries are divine.“

“Was almost lost when trying to find the outlet since it's located in a plaza that might not be visible if you're by the road side. Worry not about parking at the plaza since they apparently validated parking (yep! plus point for sure).

The gorgeously designed outlet only served grab and go since there's no seating on the spot. There were some outdoor benches at the center of the plaza though if you just couldn't wait to enjoy the goodies.

They offered bunch of sweets from Canele, Madeleine, Financier, Cookies, Cheesecake, and more; all of which did come in multiple flavors. So yeah, be prepared to be indecisive in front of the showcase. They were super helpful though in assisting you making your choices by recommending the favorite ones. It was nice that the price was decent enough for LA standard, so you could definitely opt for more than one or a couple.

For my initial visit, I started with the Ube Financier, which was kept in the chiller, maybe due to the cream on top. It came in spongy yet not too airy texture with luscious ube cream topping. It was decent, but not really my top choice. My second was their Earl Grey Milk Chocolate Tigre, which was basically buttery cake kinda similar to financier IMO, with milk chocolate ganache at the center. I definitely loved this more than the financier, especially the combo of earl grey and milk chocolate which to my surprise was awesome and helped balancing the taste to be not overly sweet. Another one I tried was their thick salted chocolate chip cookies, which decadently had crispy edge though I wish being more gooey inside as it's tad dry. Nonetheless, flavor wise I felt like classic chocolate chip with a sprinkle of sea salt indeed never failed. The creme de la creme, however, was certainly their canele which I was beyond thrilled to finally find in LA. I had my favorite one in London which I thought unbeatable, and it's impressive that LA now had something comparable to satisfy the craving without having to fly over 5K miles away. It flawlessly had that crispy coating, moist center, and just the right sweetness level. I surely made the right choice going with matcha as Brown Bag definitely elevated the overall taste with this matcha flavor and that matcha cream top. It was no brainer that their canele is NEVER TO BE MISSED if you ever paid Brown Bag a visit.“

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

“Can't get enough of their cheesecake cupcakes...all flavors are great! In addition to cupcakes, they serve Louisiana Creole cuisine lunch specials each day. Love this place!
Previous review:
Absolutely beautiful and wonderfully delicious! Ordered these cupcakes in celebration of my birthday last week and Cheesecake de Granger did not disappoint. Have ordered from them previously and they continue to provide high-quality products as well as great customer service.“

“Mochi donuts are amazing here! Fair variety, fast service, the display is high so it's easy to browse without squatting or bending over (a huge plus for me)!
Parking can be rediculous as it's mall parking, best to NOT park where Google tells you to (in front of the main entrance to PF Chang's and Lazy Dog) and go over to the side of the building by the entrance to the Mitsuwa Food Court for easiest access!
My family was so excited to try mochi donuts as they'd never had them! These did not disappoint!!!!“

“Tasty brunch spot in LA, we tried omelette and one other dish, and both were delicious. Addition of turkey and red sauce gave it a tasty twist. Serving size was generous and staff was friendly. Only parking I saw was on the street level which is free only on weekends and holidays.“

“I went to this place because it's a popular spot for the trendy Dubai-style chewy cookies. The cookies were indeed chewy and had a nice crunch from the shredded phyllo dough. They were very small, but the price was outrageously expensive at $8 compared to other donuts. I tried it once, but I wouldn't pay $8 for it again, even though it tasted good. The staff were friendly, though.“

“best food in Cali ,love it 😋..Ouaa“

“You know it is a good place when there is a line of people outside, eagerly waiting for their sugary delights.

Being from the Bay Area where there is no shortage of renowned bakeries and world-class menus, discovering Petitgrain was an absolute delight. This small bakery offers a robust menu of exquisite, carefully curated baked goods and old-fashioned loaves. Customer service is top notch as well.

Whether you have a serious sweet tooth or are simply a curious enthusiast, Petitgrain is an absolute must. Bring a little patience, as you will need it for the queue that can span half the block from the shop!

5 stars all the way! *****“

“Angel Maid Bakery is an absolute gem in Los Angeles! It's the perfect spot for anyone looking for stunning, high-quality sweets that won't empty their wallet.
The display cases are always a sight to behold—each cake and pastry is so beautifully decorated, you almost feel bad cutting into it. But your regret will vanish with the first bite! The baked goods are renowned for being light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming.

The selection is fantastic, offering a huge variety from their legendary strawberry shortcake and airy chiffon cakes to delectable cream puffs and individual pastries. Best of all, they consistently offer these top-notch treats at truly cheap prices for LA, making it my go-to for all occasions.“

“Whenever I'm in Little Tokyo, I come here for the yummy fresh breads. The melon pan is like a Mexican concha, but with the sugary topping on top. The bread is so soft. Goes pretty well with some coffee. The Green Tea Roll Cake was delicious. It is a light, fluffy sponge cake flavored with Japanese matcha green tea powder, rolled into a cylinder, and filled with sweet cream. I also love getting the steam buns. I love getting the An Man, which is a sweet red bean. The taco man, which is beef and veggies, and the curry man, which is chicken and veggies. I highly recommend it if you're in Little Tokyo. The service is excellent.“

“If you’re looking for an allergy-friendly bakery, this is well worth the visit! We’re visiting from out of town and I just wish there was a place as just as careful as back home. I got really excited and got almost one of everything. There’s a small counter for sitting and eating. These were the first allergen free cupcakes I’ve eaten that don’t taste a little weird, which was so refreshing and exciting. Fun innovative flavors as well 💕“

“Everything I ever had from Vienna Pastry is beyond delicious. The staff is wonderful. My favorite cookie in the entire world is made by this fabulous bakery. I live in PA and I never make a trip to CA without several stops at Vienna Pastry. The owner, Jaleh Rahban, is one of the kindest ladies I have ever met. I recommend this shop to everyone. Jane Dornsife“

“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!“

“Been going there for years, the best bakery in SoCal. Every time I bring a cake or cookies to a gathering, everyone always asks where I got them from!“

“amazing mochi!!! don't forget to check out their seasonal flavor“

“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!!“

“Excelente lugar regresaría sin dudarlo, la comida muy deliciosa, pero sobre todo la atención excelente. Recomendado 💯“

“excellent bakery.......customer service. delicious treats. #miz_pound_cake“

“Crumbl Cookies is amazing! Each cookie is perfectly baked—soft, warm, and so flavorful. The rotating flavors keep things exciting, and every visit feels like a treat. The presentation is beautiful too. Highly recommend for any cookie lover!

Parking: Great location with plenty of parking!

Kid-friendliness: Clean and kid friendly place.“

“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 got lemon, key lime, praline, sweet potato, strawberry and cream and pineapple. And all are so very good. Light and creamy with deep rich flavor. Can Not Be Beat.“

“We were treated here by one of my rich friends and honestly, that’s probably the only scenario where a place like this makes sense for treating the whole family out. My family has a very high bar for food. People say I’m picky, and I’m like, “Please… meet my mother.”

Service-wise, this place is flawless. The staff is charming, attentive, and somehow manages to make you feel both fancy and comfortable at the same time.

Since it’s family style, we shared practically everything and with a party of seven, those plates add up fast. By the time the table was full, the bill was basically giving luxury vacation energy.

Out of everything we tried, the Radiatori Braised Beef Ragu was the clear standout. Rich, comforting, and the kind of pasta that shuts everyone up at the table for a minute.

The Garlic Knot bread was good, though we weren’t big on the pieces with the garlic ends. After some research (and by research, I mean a heated family debate followed by frantic Googling), we realized that’s a pretty common thing in restaurants — just not our personal preference. Oh and the drinks were on point :)

Overall, a lovely, polished meal… definitely best enjoyed when someone else is picking up the tab.“

“super¡¡¡♡ mi pasteleia faborita..los muchachos que te atienden..uff super amables y muybatentos..te sientes en casa...♡♡♡“

“This place is amazing. The store owner/ worker was so so nice when we came in and fast (we were in hurry). He even threw in some donut holes for free. Prices are reasonable and donuts tasty. Will come back anytime I am remotely close. Please come here!“

“What a cute bakery! I got an iced masala chai, a fruit tart, and a pepperoni mozzarella bagel and I don’t know which one I loved the most! Probably the fruit tart because it was SO FRESH! The chai tea was delishhh and the bagel definitely filled me up! Support this business, BUY LOCAL, BUY SMALL-TIME!!! We have to support people who are truly making a difference and going above and beyond!“

“I had ordered a 12 slice carrort cake with butter cream frosting for my boyfriend's birthday. It was a hit! Everyone loved the flavor and spices. It was a very dense and moist cake as well. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely recommend this bakery. I am very happy and very satisfied!“

“I never write reviews but literally set my slice of cake down (really hard to do) because I had to run and write a review. Hands down the best chocolate cake I have ever had in my life! Please support our awesome local businesses! Great customer service and vibe inside! Will be back more than I should because it is THAT good!!“

“Love Roji Bakery! Great, friendly service and the fruit sandos are the best! This was one of my favorite things about my LA trip!❤️❤️❤️“

“My new favorite!! We will be back!“

“I work for Crystal Stairs Inc. and was looking for a local cupcake maker in the area. Cakes and Curls has made my experience for finding a baker that makes mass production for are huge end of the year event very affordable and accommodating! The communication was fast and effective. I recommend Cakes and Curls to everyone in the Los Angeles area to check out..“
