50 Best Bakeries near Highland Park

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

“I love this bakery from childhood! I live in NC now so I really wish they would ship their goodies!“

“You’ll never know it’s vegan, and that’s the best part. These desserts are out of this world delicious.“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

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

“Great place for Pastries.“

“I was looking for the bakery shops for a while who can make custom cake the way I wanted to. After spending time searching for cake makers, I found Flouring Cake Shop on Instagram. They said they could make my cake without any problem. And look what a work of art they created. I recommend everyone order a custom cake from them at least once. Thank you, guys, for the amazing work.“

“Going local-origin for my next batch of pumpernickel bagels. Choco-latte and Nicaraguan chocolate down here are legit crazy awesome!“

“Amazing bakery! We stopped by for pastries and coffee, and both were outstanding. The kouign-amann was perfectly buttery and caramelized with just the right balance of crisp and soft layers, and the cappuccino was smooth, rich, and expertly made. Great quality, cozy vibe, and friendly service. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to!“

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

“👍 have heard they are pricey but worth it. Can’t wait to try one“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“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!“

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

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

“Sweet bakery filled with goodies and Armenian favorites, fresh Barbari, Ajarski (breakfast boat), and Lahmajun (Armenian pizza)! 😁👌“

“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.“

“Absolutely love this place. It’s so cute and feels like home like being in Armenia. The food is made with so much heart that it feels like medicine for the body. You can truly feel the kind energy of the people cooking. Wishing them continued success!“

“This bakery is a regular lunch spot for me, and it never disappoints. The portions are reasonable, the prices are great, and the staff is always kind and helpful. Don’t leave without trying the tahini cookies—they’re absolutely amazing.“

“Yvonne and her team are the BEST of the BEST! Everything about the experience was exceptional. The team is so professional, organized, and prompt. They put so much love and care into the product. I ordered a custom birthday cake and it was better than any cake I could've ever dreamed of! absolutely perfect in every way visually. The taste and texture was phenomenal, even the non vegan/GF party guests were RAVING that it was the best cake they'd ever had. It is so hard to find a fully vegan/GF bakery that does cakes that are artistic, unique, and STUNNING- I cannot say enough good things about Yvonne and her amazing team. I am so grateful to have found her bakery. She has earned a forever customer. :)“

“We are so lucky to have this cafe here in Pasadena! I've tried the carbonara, puttanesca, sandwiches, foccacia, and fried zucchini blossom, and it's all been delicious. Their homemade bread is incredible and is the star of their amazing sandwiches. For fellow lovers of bittersweet Italian sodas, they stock chinotto here, as well a couple small bitter sodas! On top of how good the food is, the service is very warm and friendly. You can tell it's a family business run with a lot of love. Can't recommend it highly enough, and I'm looking forward to going back and trying even more of the menu.“

“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.“

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

“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 💕“

“Family owned, amazing history, delicious borek. My favorite is the spicy cheese—it’s not really spicy but flavorful!“

“Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?“

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

“I bought a strawberry and banana birthday cake 🎂 for my mother.
It was so delicious!!!
Im very happy with their service too. The young man that helped me, was kind and respecteful. I will be coming back for future birthdays.
😊 😁“

“Overall the food was just okay here.

I came late in the day so I sadly missed the egg tarts but they had plenty of po tarts which are basically milk cream custard in the tart forms. The pastry was so light and flaky with a rich and velvety filling!

I wanted a savory pastry too and asked the cashier which was their favorite, they recommended the spicy curry. This wasn't the best.It wasn't bad but it also wasn't spicy nor did it have much flavor. The pastry dough itself was so much better than the entirety of the item.“

“I love this place. I've bern coming here for years and to tell the truth, since they opened. it use to small, but glad to them succeed.
the only duffulty here is the parking, but that all depends on the time you come.
highly recommended.
thanks for letting me share.“

“A local person recommended it, specifically the cardamom bun. I was so fortunate to get the last one and it was totally worth the hour drive! Definitely hoping I get the opportunity to come back. That breakfast burrito was also the best one I have EVER had!
I also ordered the matcha and got it with almond milk. Didn't ask for sweetener, and I don't think it comes with any which I think is great! Too many places have sugar already in the mix. Next time I want to try the orange cardamom coffee!“

“As vegans, we have been to countless cafes and restaurants. ID Eclair is THE BEST of the best. Amazingly delicious, pure, fabulous vegan food!“

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

“Great food �“

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

“Excuse me!! I think I found my new go to for coffee and sweets! I went last week to sample their yummy items and the only disappointment I had was that they were almost sold out of EVERYTHING!! I was though, able to snag a Mango Baba and holy moly batman, it was amazing!!! I 100% recommend this bakery and will most definitely be back!“

“I called in at 3:30 asking about what kind of cakes they had on hand ready for purchase. I guess he picked up on the fact that I was looking for something different, so he offered to make a custom one and I picked up the most delicious cake around an hour later! So moist and delicious! I love this bakery, their customer service is unmatched! I went with a vanilla cake with fresh strawberries, bananas and custard filling.“

“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!“

“This Red Ribbon has been the only one I’ve gone to since I was a child. I hope it NEVER closes!! Last night, I walked in at 8:30 pm (they close at 9 pm). I saw that they started customized picture cakes. I asked Chelo how long I need to request in advance. She said about at least 30 mins to an hour. Even though at this point, we were cutting it close to closing time, Chelo ensured I would have my cake. She encouraged me to get one. Princess and Chelo were very efficient and patient with me even with my indecisiveness! Mind you it’s less than 30 mins til closing! Instead of giving me any attitude or hesitation, they made me feel welcome!! The cake came out beautifully! They were able to finish my cake within less than 15 mins since I didn’t have much edits to make. I can’t believe I can get a customized cake without the usual preordering 24-48hrs hour prior. I plan to always upgrade my cakes to these picture cakes for only $10 more. Thank you so much Princess and Chelo for making my friend’s bday even more special this year! Please continue to bless this world with genuine kindness and happiness!! ♥️✨“

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

“Take out only. A very popular spot. There is always going to be at least a person or two in front of you. They have a wide variety of Chinese pastries, both sweet and savory. Less crowded on weekdays than the weekend. I'd say, go whenever you can“

“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!“

“My family and I have been eating birthday cakes from the Phoenix Bakery since I can remember. My personal favorite is the strawberry cake of course. I stopped by today and got this, can't remember the name though. So get here ASAP and get yourself some!. Highly recommended!.“

“Great service and amazing breakfast sandwiches with excellent quality. I also love there coffee and lattes. A former coworker of mine recommended this place to me in early 2021 and I've loved it ever since. Friendly staff great environment and I highly recommend it.“

“Looking for a sweet treat to share with your loved ones this Valentine's Day? Look no further than this amazing bakery my sister and I visited! We tried the Red Velvet Cinnamon Roll, Classic Cinnamon, Coffee Cake, Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies, Cornbread Cookies and White Chocolate Macadamia. And let me tell you, they were all absolutely delicious!

My personal favorite has always been the Classic Cinnamon rolls. They're so moist and flavorful, even days later! The red velvet cinnamon rolls were a close second though. The coffee cake was perfect, the cookies were to die for, and our Hot Americano was served fresh and hot.

The only downside was the long wait - we stood in line for an hour on Valentine's Day! But the friendly staff and amazing treats made it worth it. Just make sure to plan ahead for parking, as they don't have a lot. Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend checking them out for yourself! #SweetTreats #ValentinesDayDelight 😋🧁☕️“

“The cinnamon rolls and the quesadilla salvadoreña.....“

“Especially enjoyed the lime tart at my last visit.“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“Went in to get some bread baguette's & bolio for my mom I ended up trying there egg rolls & they had a pork belly spring roll it was so Delicious I had the banh mi pork belly sandwich to die for the bread was just made hot from the oven everything was fresh excellent.“
