50 Best Bakeries near Hermosa Beach

“Coffee was okay, my hazelnut latte has a lot of milk than I prefer. But their hot cocoa was better. I recommend the apricot croissant, its sooo good!

They have savory breads and ice cream as well. Plenty of seating inside and even outside by the patio. Service was fast and friendly.“

“Natural dog tears shop“

“This is my first time trying thier product... all I can say is it's absolutely amazing! wish we had this type of idea in Canada!!“

“You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say. Let’s begin this elite review. :D

The Source Cafe (est 2017) is a popular and fun little breakfast spot right on Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach. It has a cool vibe, lots of fun things on the menu, healthy smoothies, and baked pastries. Interior design and layout were brilliant with abundant natural light.

We came on an early weekend morning to grab breakfast; it was my first time at this cafe. I was warmly greeted by a male staff with a smile. I ordered an iced coffee and avocado toast. Both items were solid. Breakfast AT was delightful and healthy.
Services were spot on. Prices were fair for the area. Plenty of street metered parking.

Overall, this cafe is a good spot for breakfast. I recommend it.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love it miss it. When I lived around the corner I would go all the time. Everything they have is good. No matter what you get you can’t go wrong. The service is friendly. Make sure you bring cash. You’ll want to go back again and again. And as a bonus you also get to meet some of the people there in the neighborhood as well as some of the people you already know. I’ve been away from the area for several years now, but I’ve still managed to drop in every now and again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“Everything from the moment you arrive at the corner of Gardena Avenue and Vermont Avenue in the City of Gardena I felt I was back home. Their authentic Ecuadorian taste on all their plates, oh my God it is second to none. Congratulations DulcisFama LLC. I will be back with my friends from Latinos Unidos San Diego this weekend.“

“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.“

“got a couple of cookies from crumbl. the one with the frosting and chocolate chips on top was super soft and had a nice balance of sweetness. the other cookie, with a simple but great flavor, was equally good. both were fresh and perfectly packed. if you’re into cookies with a rich, indulgent taste, definitely give these a try.“

“Omg I love Sweet Potato tarts with the pecan nuts“

“Absolutely delicious Beautiful setting too“

“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.“

“BEST wagashi in the West Coast indeed!

I waited to try the other wagashi place we found in the Sacramento area before reviewing this place and therefore we conclude, they have the best mochis!

Staff is super friendly and kind 😭 would really love to go here again if ever we are down in SoCal!“

“My new favorite!! We will be back!“

“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!“

“Good bagels at this place“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“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!!“

“A friend brought me their Matcha almond croissant, the Black forest Cake even though it really wasn't a black forest it was totally delicious as well as the matcha almond croissant. The croissant can rival any French bakery. It was buttery, soft and absolutely delicious. Thank you ,JJ Bakery“

“Fantastic! Very lovely people own and work in this outstanding bakery. Everything is utterly delicious. They do sell out by about 2:30 though. It’s reasonably priced too. My only gripe is that the payment machine-thingie doesn’t an option for tips so you have to leave a cash tip.“

“I ordered their mocha for the first time and I was so so sad that I didn't try it sooner. Heaven in a cup! I used to say that about the flat white from Offset Coffee until this year. So happy to have found my new coffee go to! Um, their Azuki Cream was deelish too! Sadly they were sold out of their ham & cheese croissants. 😕“

“Best bread for sure !!! You choose the bread yourself no one picks it for you as I read in the prior comment 🙄. It’s hard to find parking because of how many people come to this place but customer service is great so you don’t wait for long parking space will be available soon.Definitely recommend this place you won’t regret it !!“

“Today was my time visiting this location the woman at the counter comes out a little rude .. I asked a question by it being my first visit.. I asked were the cookies in the counter day old she snapped in her response saying they would be in the basket if they were .. maybe she was having a bad day .. but I will be coming back everything I ordered was excellent. Slice of carrot cake.. slice of chocolate fudge cake.. and a bag of pecan chocolate chip cookies“

“Looked up a local panaderia while visiting LA and found this place. Upon arriving at 6:30 pm on a Wednesday evening and seeing a line out the door I wondered what was going on! It is a small panaderia but the Mexican sweet bread was fantastic! The conchas were just coming out of the oven so I grabbed one and a crème filled empanada. Both were delicious! Will return on my next trip to LA!“

“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!“

“Uzoma bakes some really good and delicious cupcakes. She has a large variety and all are extremely tasty! She NEVER disappoints.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“A friend ordered cookies for me from Jungle Bakes as a gift, and they were very well-packaged (none of them were damaged, which was a feat considering how buttery and delicate they are), beautifully decorated, and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“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 !“

“These cupcakes/cakes are to die for.... Ok maybe not die, but well worth traveling 30 miles out of my way for And definitely worth blowing any diet LOVE LOVE LOVE SUSIE CAKES“

“Dinner ,breakfast coffee, staff were so friendly and welcoming“

“Delicious and old fashioned bakery hard to find anymore!“

“excellent excellent excellent. peach cobbler was so good. at first i thought the mini at around $10 was a bit expensive but its shareable so at $5 person, its very worth it. add the ice cream because why not. the ice cream was good vanilla flavor too. we took advantage of the “day old” cookies that were 2 for $3 definitely worth it.“

“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.“

“This used to be a very nice bakery, but it seems like they have let things go down hill. It's no longer neat and well organized. They are mixing baked goods with a bunch of other products so it's gotten clutterered and crowded. They would do better to focus on their baked goods, and add items like cupcakes and cookies that appeal to kids and teens. Put a showcase in the front window to display some of their delicious products.“

“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__“

“I have been going here forever I love this place! ? I recommend their Boba and chocolate custard donut ? my favorites! Everyone is always so nice there ? Too bad they close kinda early though. I love Kathy she's so sweet I don't know if she works there anymore ?❤️ Totally recommend this place!“

“My family and I have been frequenting this bakery for over a year and have never been disappointed. The freshness and quality of the pan dulce, in particular, stands out as well as the lovely customer service. The prices are very reasonable.“
