Small Korean bakery, delicious bakery items. I ordered classic and matcha Crème Brûlée. Wow.
Located inside Rodeo plaza!
Cute places to sit.“

“They have very good pastries, bánh my and moon cake“

“Great place for Pastries.“

“Can’t stop eating them!
Honestly, I didn’t expect them to be this good. Each cookie has its own vibe — some nutty, some soft and buttery, all super fresh. And the spot where I got them? Super clean and neat, which I really appreciate. You can tell they put love into everything. I’ve already recommended them to a couple friends!“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“Just amazing...this stuff is so beautiful I almost didn't want to eat it! But I did, haha, and it was great! I love that there is so much variety, from cookies to cakes, and the owner is such a sweet person! I'll definitely keep them in mind for my birthday when it rolls around in August. Keep up the good work!“

“First thing I tried was Pumpkin Crumb Coffee
Cake that was really, really, really good. I gave it five stars. It was made perfect. … the second thing I tried. Belgian Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies I love chocolate chip cookies, and these were made perfect … I should’ve took a picture of the chocolate chip cookie, but I couldn’t resist myself when I got in my car. I ate it right away. But thank you guys keep up the great work. ….. customer service was amazing thank you Donna. I am definitely coming back. It was a great atmosphere when I walked in shop was super clean … I gave you A +“

“recently visited this shaurma spot and honestly, the interior is amazing — super cozy, stylish, and has a whole vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. It definitely feels like more than just a quick food stop.

I tried the chicken shawarma. While the flavor was okay, I wasn’t too happy with the chicken — it wasn’t grilled properly, and the wrap felt a bit unbalanced with too much lavash and not enough ingredients inside.

That being said, I still recommend checking this place out. The experience itself is worth it, and with such a nice atmosphere, I really hope this business grows and stands strong. It’s definitely a spot I want to see succeed, and maybe with a few tweaks to the food, it can become a favorite!“

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

“Great local place for breakfast and lunch with tasty baked goods!😄“

“This meal was the highlight of our LA trip! I don’t know what kind of sorcery is afoot here but this little spot manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts. I felt so welcomed from the moment I stepped through the door and I liked that they have you order and pay before sitting down, it makes the dining experience more relaxing and low key. Loved how short and sweet the menu was, the chef has incredible restraint and a crystal clear vision. Every single thing we had was incredible, the best hk french toast and bolo bao I have ever had, and omg the scallion roll and dumplings. I don’t know what it is about this place but I’m still thinking about that meal days later. Also, the dining room made me feel like I was in a tvb serial from the early 90s which is the highest compliment.“

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

“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.“

“Not too sweet—just right. These donuts are fresh, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. I especially love that they use taro as the base it gives the donuts a subtle earthy flavor and naturally soft texture that makes them stand out from the usual. The variety of flavors is thoughtfully curated, so there’s something for everyone depending on your mood or craving. My favorite was the chocolate crunch, perfectly crispy on the outside, rich and satisfying inside. Will definitely be back for more!“

“This is the absolute go to bakery. While it was the sign that says ‘One of LA’s Top Cookie Destinations’ that brought me in, it was the warm welcoming service and the incredible quality and care that goes into every single item that keeps us coming back. The breads are above and beyond anything I’ve experienced. The sour dough and garlic and olive oil loafs are our family favorites. We can’t not have a loaf going in the house at all times. Highest recommendation!“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“I’ve been coming to this location for years, and it never disappoints! My mom, who never likes sweets, actually approves of their cakes—and that’s saying a lot. Both the vanilla and chocolate flavors are moist, delicious, and full of flavor—not dry at all.

The fresh fruit topping is another standout—you can choose more than one! My mom’s favorite combo is peach and strawberry. We usually go with the almond sides and ask for less filling, which they’re happy to accommodate.

These cakes are perfect for any occasion—or even just when you’re craving a good slice of cake. Speaking of which, I just found out they now sell cake by the slice (love this!), and they’ve also added fruit drinks and milk tea to their menu!

My most recent order was a cake for 25 people for only $55—absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!“

“She did such an AMAZING job on my besties birthday cake. It tasted so delicious I was surprised how good it tasted for gluten and dairy free!! This woman is such a sweet girl and catered to some changed and was quick to respond to my inquiries. I would HIGHLY recommend!“

“Absolutely love this place for their pastries and bread alone. My favorite pastry is the Swedish cardamom bun, and their sourdough bread is fantastic as well. When I want something savory I go for their simple everything bagel that gets the job done. I don’t normally get the coffee here, as the times I’ve been there they only seem to have drip. The staff is also always very friendly. I really like this place for the vibes. Very simple straight forward cafe, bakery, and unpretentious vibes, which can be a rarity here in LA.“

“Home style Armenian/Middle Eastern Bakery that brings the flavors and aromas of my travels locally.“

“If this is not the best banh mi in all of Sgv and Oc, I don’t know of any place that can beat them. All cash by the way so come prepared. Their dac biet is the perfect sandwich and their daikon and carrots are light and bouncy with fresh jalapeno with the right amount of pate and butter. They have it down to perfection, nothing less. Had an open house and served it for homebuyers and they were blown away! Highly recommend! Cafe sua da is gold too, loved the shaved ice in the coffee and not too sweet. The ladies in the back are super sweet and you can buy the baguettes and freeze them, then 350 f for 6 mins in toaster or airfryer. Get the egg rolls, and pa te so is good too. My clients loved their vegetarian banh mi too!

Vegetarian options: Just get he vegetarian banh mi! Only vegetarian thing to get or just plain baguettes! It will be worth it!“

“The BEST. What else do you need to know? Try it for yourself.“

“Shoutout to the Rittenhouse location. We are at Chop with our 4 year old son who just had surgery. I figured after the day we had let’s have some cookies. I placed an order from Levain on door dash. My wife after the long day she had put in the wrong address on the door dash order and the driver called screaming at me and wouldn’t come 1.3 miles to bring them even after explaining the circumstances. Door dash refunded my whole order without me even asking and I called Levain and they went above and beyond. They gave us cookies on the house and even threw in an extra chocolate chip and delivered them to CHOP. Not only are the cookies fabulous the hospitality is second to none. I am a lifelong customer to this location and want to thank everyone at the Rittenhouse location especially Mat who went above and beyond. Thanks again!“

“I visited Baking with Ish on the day I was getting ready to fly out of LAX. I had been getting instagram recommendations on my feed for a few months (even though I don’t live in CA), and I’m glad I decided to put this place on my list to check out before I left. I got the ube sesame bun and the cheese and ube pie and both of them were fantastic. I wish I lived closer so I could come back and try more items, to be honest everything on display looked unreal. Wishing the best for Ish and team, you’re making some really amazing stuff.“

“I had the egg sandwich and it was delicious. The steamed egg had a great texture, green sauce was delish, and on tartine bread perfect. I recently tried the egg sandwich at the Santa Monica location and it was pretty bland compared to this one. Staff was super friendly and helpful also! Cool playlist - helped the vibe“

“Fabulous 👌!!! This is my favorite bakery. Whenever I'm in charge of picking up a cake for any special occasion, only the strawberry cake with almonds will do. The cake is perfect every single time.
Service is friendly and efficient,
Parking can be hard to find so bring a friend that can drop you off, drive around the block, and then pick you up.
ORDER A CAKE!!!“

“Delicious vegan pan dulce! Super nice people too. I highly recommend Soy Concha!“

“They made me the perfect cake I love my taste and quality of cake. Our family has been fans for years. Highly recommended“

“The bakery and tamales are delicious!!!“

“The best pie you’ll ever eat in your life!!! Whenever you are in LA it’s a must.“

“One of the best local bakery and a very friendly girl with the softest voice at the cashier. Had to wait a few more minutes in the morning due to their bakery truck barely on time, but definitely worth the time just chilling at the table inside the store, that extra 10min felt like a breeze, though a few customers came in just to leave lol Great experience there and would definitely go again, even if have to wait again :D“

“This place came to the rescue!!! The wedding cake I had made fell over on the long drive. It was a disaster!! Other bakeries near the wedding venue were already closed and others needed at least 48 hour notice… the wedding was happening NOW. I called Sonora Bakery in my final desperate attempt, explained the situation, sent them a picture of the cake and within minutes, they got to work. The cake was delicious and the wedding was saved. Thank you Sonora Bakery…. You have a customer for life!“

“Every time I’m in LA/Eagle Rock, I have to stop by here. The donuts are sooo good, creative flavors, and fresh. I buy a dozen or 2 and trail my butt back to OC and my family is so excited. The vegan donuts are sooo good!! Don’t let that ube cake donuts fool you, it’s so soft and airy. My favorite along with vegan ube glaze. Yum!“

“Popular Chinatown pastry spot for traditional baked goods and steamed dimsum to go. Not a big menu, but all the usual favorites are here. Prices are great and they taste excellent. Be patient as there's always a line of locals so you know you're getting the good stuff. Parking on street.“

“5 stars. So much to choose from especially if you have a sweet tooth. Can’t forget about the coffee ☕️ 🫶🏼“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“I attended a kids' birthday party and they had the most delicious cake ever. It was chocolate with a fresh strawberry center. The chocolate cake was so moist. The icing was light and delicate. This cake was talked about with everyone. We kept saying, "it's not too sweet," which is the best compliment you can say for a cake. I wasn't the one that purchased the cake but I definitely will now after this.“

“The mini conchas are my favourite, I don't like conchas unless they're from this bakery. The polvorones, cinnamon raisin rolls, pink jelly coconut roll, and the mini cookies with sprinkles are my favourites here. The prices have been raised for the filled breads but it's better compared to other places. The place looks like it's kept clean and well maintained. The only bad thing about coming here are the homeless people asking for money all the time. + There's very limited parking sometimes it'll be empty and the next second it'll be full. The staff are super friendly and fast.“

“We needed a birthday cake on short notice, and thankfully, Patisserie Too had a 5” mango cake available. They also had a wide variety of personal size cakes in adorable animal themes (rabbit, dog, pig, penguin, and Hello Kitty). Our party really enjoyed the mango cake - it was the perfect sweetness level and full of flavor. Sweet enough to taste like a dessert but not overwhelmingly sugary. I was pleasantly surprised to find a slice of mango inside the cake. The mango texture was a fun contrast to its soft cake-y surroundings. The entire cake sat on top of a cookie base (shortbread cookie?), and the crunchiness of the cookie also enhanced the range of textures in this dessert!

The cakes were also well packaged. They taped down the personal size cakes we bought so that they wouldn’t slide around inside the box. This attention to detail and their friendly and helpful service overall made this a really pleasant shopping experience!“

“Best donut shop in the area, hands down.
Donuts are super light and airy, they do not live you feeling super full and they are also not super sweet. Prices are also very reasonable.
We tried the breakfast sandwiches as well which and they were super delicious and filling. If you are hungry hungry I would recommend you get one.
The thai teas are nice too, I really liked the orange one.
Staff is also super friendly and will tell you about all their menu items as well as make recommendations.
Highly recommend you go check out BC Donuts if you are in the area!“

“best cookies i've ever ate“

“This bakery is ok. Read the reviews and they were all falling over how greta the place is. While the food I ordered was very good I would not say it was amazing. The tahini bread, however, was very good. It is very cheap so I can see why the quality compared to the price gives this place high ratings.“

“This is a mocha filled cake. I brought these fresh flowers 1 day before the event. Although, my daughter’s instructions was to include red melted chocolate on this rustic/vintage themed cake but they did NOT. I can see why, it would have taken away from the theme. they have such a great eye in designing and captivating one’s imagination . They delivered the cake on time and the extra flowers were also returned. Definitely, recommend to friends and families!“

“Wonderful place, for sharing good food with your friends and your loved family. Great stop in the mornings and sunsets. We recommend it Le Pain widefully!!“

“This places is absolutely good I love the tortas, the size is huge for the price, totally worth it. They have tamales too. I had had oat with milk and rice with milk, I didn't know they also have strawberry hot drink is like champurrado is so good,there is coffee as well. They have a huge variety of bread, dessert, cold drinks.“
