50 Best Bakeries near Hermosa Beach

“Went to meet a friend for coffee. I'd never been there before and was hoping the girl could tell me more... She was not helpful just handed me a menu & that was that.. The pastries looked amazing but because of the poor customer service I just got something off the drink menu & left it at that. The outdoor seating was nice though.“

“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!!“

“I used to love studying at Source Café during my student years — cozy vibes, great food, and a perfect spot to focus. But I was disappointed to find they’ve turned off the WiFi. It’s still a lovely place to unplug, but not ideal if you need to get work done online.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“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__“

“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“

“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!!“

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

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“The Service: Angelina was helping me at the counter. Friendly & helpful service. Very welcoming. She was very efficient & multitasking. Great customer service!

The Pastry: Their pastry totally reminded me of my childhood in Taiwan!! Very authentic Taiwanese pastry & bread. So many different varieties to choose from. Can't wait to go back again!

The Parking: Plaza parking lot“

“Absolutely delicious Beautiful setting too“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“My new favorite!! We will be back!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“As a mom of a soon-to-be four-year-old with severe dairy, egg, and tree nut allergies (which cause anaphylaxis), finding quality vegan bakery items has been incredibly challenging. We’ve tried vegan offerings from bakeries all over San Diego, Orange County, and LA, but none have come close to the quality of this bakery.

Although they aren’t an entirely vegan bakery, they offer vegan options such as cookies and cakes — and they are truly the best we’ve ever had. The staff is extremely helpful and genuinely wants to make sure you get exactly what you need, which makes the experience even better. This year marks the third year I’m ordering my daughter’s birthday cake from them, and I plan to continue coming back year after year — and even in between birthdays — for their vegan treats.

Usually, when you buy a vegan item from a bakery, you can immediately tell it’s vegan — the taste or texture tends to be just slightly off. I always appreciate when bakeries make the effort to offer vegan options, but it’s something special when a bakery can create vegan desserts that taste just as good as traditional ones. The first time we tried their vegan cake, my husband was convinced I must have ordered a regular cake by mistake because it tasted so good!

You can tell this bakery uses extremely high-quality ingredients and makes everything from scratch. In fact, there have been times when I’ve paid more at other bakeries for vegan cakes that didn’t even come close to the quality this bakery provides.

If you’re looking for a vegan cake, cupcake, or cookie — whether it’s for a birthday, a holiday, or just a get-together — this is absolutely the place to go. Even if you don’t have food allergies and are vegan by choice (or even if you’re not vegan at all), I highly recommend trying their vegan offerings. They are truly outstanding.

I’m so grateful to have found this bakery. Their commitment to quality, care, and delicious vegan options means more to families like mine than they probably realize.“

“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“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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“

“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.“
