Patisserie/Cake Shops near Hawthorne, CA

“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.“

“We needed a birthday cake ASAP for a new employee's birthday, they were available on Postmates so we weren't sure what we would get! OMG we were sent the Strawberry Shortcake 7" cake. It was moist, not too sweet, with fresh strawberries. The best part was the real cream frosting! Thank you for making our last minute birthday lunch a success, we've found our go-to bakery!!!“

“Customer service is amazing. I am visiting from NY and would 100% recommend coming here. I wanted to stop in for the viral fruit pastries, after being disappointed at different bakery called Altadena Bakery. I got the mango one and it was amazing. My boyfriend also got a cappuccino which he enjoyed and we both got complimentary macaroons which were excellent. If you want to try the fruit pastries definitely come here!“

“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.“

“I ask for their water/ocean “decoration” (it’s just the whipped cream frosting). It’s perfect because we put our own decorations at home. The cake is perfection. The strawberry shortcake is perfection. The chocolate one is rich. Whipped cream frosting is absolutely perfect.

Just give yourself enough time to pick up your order because it gets packed so you can be waiting for a while. Even if it’s just a pick up.“

“I have been to the 2 Little Tokyo locations and this one is definitely the winner! there’s a huge variety of pastries and things to eat for a quick bite (you might probably have to eat it standing or elsewhere during the weekends since it gets pretty packed and there’s just 3 tables!) but the steamed buns were good!, the matcha mochi wasn’t too sweet so it was perfect, the almond croissant was fine but their specialty is definitely on other pastries! will definitely come back again to try more stuff.“

“The best bread ever. I always get the filled ones they sell at the counter. $4.50 for 4 large rolls. They vary the fillings from strawberry, cream cheese, nutella, guava. All of them are excellent. This is my go-to place when I want to treat myself.“

“nice people, nice baked goods, good coffee, what else? just go see by yourself you'll like it:)“

“Kings Hawaiian food bakery restaurant is one of my top three places to go eat I recommended highly to anyone that can drive out to the nearest Kings Hawaiian restaurant enjoy life“

“Cara Mia catered my mother-in-law's memorial service beautifully and on quite short notice. The owner was so incredibly kind and helped us pick out the right things to feed 30+ people, was super responsive via email, and even met us in person when we picked up our order to offer her heartfelt condolences. They went above and beyond to help make this difficult day easier and we were blown away not only by their compassion, but the quality of their baked goods! The memorial guests devoured everything and many of them remarked to us how great the food was :) I can't recommend Cara Mia enough and hope to visit again under happier circumstances. Thank you!!!!“

“riquísimo sin duda volveré“

“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 !“

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

“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.“

“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.

“Yummy Cakes Delicious foods“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“Everything I've had from here has been extraordinary. My favorite was a croissant-muffin filled with raspberry creme. Magical. The textures are perfect without being greasy. The savory treats are excellent, too. Note: I had no luck trying to find the Palms location. Best to go to the Maisan Macha stand at the Mar Vista farmer's market on Sundays. Come early before your favorites sell out! Updated from previous review on 2025-08-30“

“I was very pleased with the fast service. The food was delicious and plentiful and at an excellent price Highly recommended“

“Shop local! Found this place down the street from my phone service company. Best tasting pastries!!
Service is great. Thank you again for showing me the new stuff!! Definitely will be coming back.

Kid-friendliness: My kids had a blast and enjoyed the flan, and the hot Cheetos with cheese.“

“This place is extraordinary. Every bread has a unique name... special ones made Fri sat sun like this one it's so delicious it's some sort of rice pudding in the middle the tastes it's so delightful fluffy chewy not too sweet no one makes better bread than this bakery I go Sundays for this special one it's called "el TORCANTE "try it you won't regret awesome prices they even have big gallons of milk and coffee on the go I wish they can make a atole that would rock the guy that works there is supper humble and very nice ...“

“Amazing custom cakes, great flavors and good quality“

“Really nice place in a food court, lots of options for pastries and cakes, prices are a bit high (it helps me not eat as many goodies as I would have but this is technically a good thing I think!)
The people at the counter were nice, the first time you went the person was a bit confused as it was close to closing and had given us the wrong size drink but corrected it as quickly as possible.
They have beautiful packaging for any takeout pastries or food. The atmosphere is okay, the tables were not cleaned, but it is a shared area amongst many restaurants. This also means it's busy and kind of loud, so depending on what you are looking for you may wish to just pick something up and take it home.“

“Its right in the corner. Its small but they have all kind of sweet bread. Had a craving. Plus the Birote/ Bonilla looked soon good. [ It was soo crunchy and soft from the inside. Ate it by itself????]. It wasn't packed. It was recommended so I had to go. The Lady who was there was Real Sweet--->no Pun intended. So Great Customer service. Sweet Bread was Real good to. I will be coming Again. Many Blessibgs to All and Stay Safe???“

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

“Beautiful cakes and the best chocolate muffin!!!“

“Korean Bakery. This is a famous franchise brand from South Korea.They make unique collection of fresh baked pastries and sweet desserts every day. Their selections are inspiration of French bakery (obviously right?)Fresh individual cakes and birthday cakes are always available.“

“Dear Paris Baguette, your pastries are always a comforting treat every time I return to Koreatown. I love stopping by after my morning runs at 6:30 AM. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly, making each visit a pleasure. There’s such a wide variety of baked goods to choose from, like buttery croissants, soft coffee buns, indulgent cheese tarts, delicious cakes, and hearty multigrain bread. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them! Everything is always fresh and top-notch!!“

“Wonderful experience thanks to Jasmin! The cupcakes were a hit. My sister loved them. Jasmin helped me with a special order delivery and went above and beyond. She made the process so easy and clearly cared about getting every detail just right. Great service!“

“I went to go pick up a too good to go order and they had such a variety of things to try and all their pastries tasted so fresh and so good, the cafe itself was so pretty and spacious it gave pastry store but with a cafe. Outside seating and inside seating too, waited too long for service there was no one in the front to take order but ambiance and taste of pastries made up for it.“

“drops by here whenever we go Wilshire Blvd. Family � 85 degrees from the first time twas introduced by my sis.“

“I bought a chocolate cake for friends. It was really good. Not too sweet, moist and big enough for 10 people. I liked that the chocolate ganache wasn’t too thick because sometimes it’s more ganache than actual cake. It was well balanced and tasteful. They also have small portions for dessert. And the princess cake was in small and big size.“

“Me encanto el trato tan amable que las dos señoritas que nos atendieron 😉“

“delicious baked goods.. was visiting from las Vegas and stopped in while shopping. thankfully we have one that just opened in Vegas. I'll be going soon!“

“Excellent in all categories! We have ordered for our staff, and EVERYONE loves the delicious Mini Fruit Bites and especially the magnificent huge Baked Cookies!!! What a hit! And to top it off, rich Lavazza café!!! Can't get any better and, in particular, thank you to the wonderful Paris Baguette staff who are courteous, kind, and accommodating!!!“

“Thank you Maria for being to welcome. It’s been a pleasure visiting and this store knowing that I will be giving great hospitality. Great to see a smile when craving something sweet and delicious. Although I forgot my review after my first visit here on Western and Wilshire is a great pleasure to return.“
