50 Best Bakeries near Lawndale

“What a gem in the middle of Redondo Blvd! Family owned bakery with comfort in every way. Went in to grab a quick breakfast before a gig nearby and was blown away by the bagels! It smells of Indian Spices, warm and comforting, and I loved their bagel sandwich so much I savored it. My husband could not contain his love for his sandwich and gobbled it. The workers/owners are amazing! So kind, lovely customer service and very cool! What a great local spot for sweet or savory! If you’re a tea lovers their Masala Chai was HEAVENLY! I got it iced since it was so hot today, but I’d imagine it’s delicious any way they serve it! Perfection! What a treat on this workday! Will happily go back next time I’m in the area and honestly can’t wait to try their sweets!“

“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!“

“This is a great company to have as a favorite. I promise you that you will not be disappointed. The "Cereal Cookie" are out of this world and you eat them for breakfast. Simply Amazing..🥰“

“Food on point, bakery on point, I’m comming back.“

“I love this bakery! It is not fancy looking but their food is delicious. I always get champurradas, pan dulce and pan frances. Their tamales are good and their banana bread is also a nice treat. Prices are so low compared to other bakeries so that is always a nice plus.“

“Good and mostly reliable pastries and sweet bread, definitely recommend the tres leches cake and the gelatina de leche. However, hours of service aren't super reliable, so come early if you don't want to arrive plenty of time before the listed closing time only to find the shop closed and shut down ages ago.“

“This place is INCREDIBLE. Their croissants are out of this world! My absolute favorite things to get here are the kouign-amann and today I had the absolute best cinnamon roll I've ever tasted! I swear it was life changing! It was so buttery and gooey inside yet crispy on the outside. I also had a pistachio lemon croissant which was just fantastic! Not as life changing as the cinnamon roll but still wonderful.

This place gets BUSY and sells out so try to get there early because the word is out. On the weekends there's always a line out the door onto the sidewalk, but I assure you, it's worth the wait!

As soon as you walk in the door you're greeted by the most luxurious aroma of brown butter and caramelizing pastry dough - it's enough to make the mouth water immediately.“

“I can’t say enough about this place I’m in love. Josue the manager was very attentive and customer service orientation is by far the best I’ve experienced. I can’t wait to bring my family back and enjoy more of this delicious healthy and organic bread and delicious meals. The team is very beautifully humble and welcoming. I wish this was the norm. Thank you to the team and Josue we will be back and recommending everyone here .“

“The best cookies you will find in all of Los Angeles. Creative flavors, quality ingredients, and made by the best people around. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Also, Price points amazing.“

“I needed a little European fix today, so I decided to visit Des Croissants Paris. First of all I just finished devouring 4 pastries that were in incredibly delicious!!! Top ingredients straight from France! But what made my visit an outstanding experience, was how lovely and gracious the staff was including the owner. We chatted about Spain and had one of those moments of community that are so rare in this city. I highly recommend this slice of French heaven in the middle of Culver City“

“Run, don’t walk. A fabulous find in the south bay! As good as it gets outside of France. Maybe better.“

“MIGHT BE THE BEST PIE I’VE EVER TRIED 🥧⭐

This was my first time trying key lime pie bc I usually don’t like lime unless it’s in a drink. BUT OH WOW I’ve been missing out!!!

The key lime pie was SO good. I love sour flavors, and I think the filling had the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. It might be a little too sour if you eat the lime filling by itself, but with the cream and crust together?? BOMB!!

I also tried the banana cream pie and really liked it! It tasted just like banana pudding. I think it would be even better with a crust like the one on the key lime pie, if that’s possible!

The service was great, the restroom was clean, and the place was super cute too.
Definitely coming back to try more flavors!“

“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.“

“This is my go-to neighborhood bakery now. Living within short walking distance means I come here every week. I've tried every pastry by now and each one is excellent. They often add new seasonal pastries, most recently a strawberry danish topped with creamy frosting and filled with house-made jam; easily the best vegan pastry I've ever had. Their freshly baked breads are almost all vegan, most of their cakes are vegan, they have vegan sandwiches, and all of their café drinks can be vegan with plenty of plant milks available. Many of these are gluten free as well for those concerned about that, and always clearly marked. These are NOT pastries for crunchy health-food types, they are incredible and indulgent vegan versions of the same croissants, pan au chocolat, scones, cookies, muffins, etc you'd get in any European style bakery. It's a great place to go with omni friends and family because the vegan options are just as good as the nonvegan ones. The place has a really cozy neighborhood type feeling, drawing regulars from the area including families and plenty of cute dogs, and the staff and owners are all super friendly. My omni fiancé and I are having them make our wedding cake! Pro tip 1: go before closing from 2:30-3:00 Monday-Thursday for 30% off everything. Pro tip 2: their day-old breads are half off, which makes their breads a total steal. Pro tip 3: They also sell locally made coffee, greeting cards, handmade candles, and other small giftable items like that if you're treating someone else. Updated from previous review on 2026-06-20“

“I feel bad for the one and only employee working there today who's coworker left her with no cookies baked and unable to fulfill the orders. She did the best she could and was apologetic and explained the lack of product. Need to have more than one person running a store like this.“

“best food in Cali ,love it 😋..Ouaa“

“Can't get enough of their cheesecake cupcakes...all flavors are great! In addition to cupcakes, they serve Louisiana Creole cuisine lunch specials each day. Love this place!
Previous review:
Absolutely beautiful and wonderfully delicious! Ordered these cupcakes in celebration of my birthday last week and Cheesecake de Granger did not disappoint. Have ordered from them previously and they continue to provide high-quality products as well as great customer service.“

“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!“

“They BEST Bread around Been coming since I was a little girl 55 yrs and thank you for always giving me a calendar“

“Great, tasty pastries and delicious cake slices! Angel Maid Bakery is a wonderful family-owned bakery offering Japanese-style and French-inspired pastries.

I especially love their light, fluffy European-style sponge cakes; they remind me of the cakes I enjoyed in Europe. Their chiffon cakes and cream puffs are also delicious with just the right level of sweetness.

A lovely neighborhood bakery with a great selection of cakes and pastries. Highly recommended.“

“deserts..YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING UNTIL you JUST STOP BY and try ANYTHING..“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“Best cinnamon rolls ever and I loved it!“

“Excelente lugar regresaría sin dudarlo, la comida muy deliciosa, pero sobre todo la atención excelente. Recomendado 💯“

“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!!“

“Cute new little pastry start up with a hidden garden patio. Can't wait to see its evolution. ☕🥐“

“Went there today for a light snack. I bought a Nutella and Bananas Foster Mochi Donut (it really did taste like Bananas Foster) and it was soo good. Service was far out, the guy manning the counter (wish I got his name) was super friendly and cool. Overall really good experience and would def be worth going to whenever you’re in the mall.“

“Very friendly and personable staff!
Anna, Chansreyleak and John offer great donuts and fresh hot coffee as well as a variety of subs and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Iced tea and boba concoctions, Ice cream, lotto and an ATM are available as well!“

“Such delicious kolaches!!!😊 I tried most of the menu and each one was so yummy! The dessert one with sweet cream is divine. The owner Robert is so kind and accommodating. It's essentially a to-go place but there is outdoor seating. I highly recommend calling/texting the business phone number to place your order for pick up ~ as the kolaches run out fast and are freshly made from scratch. So excited to go back!😋“

“My review is for the new thin cookies.
I went during the free thin cookie giveaway and bought the Dubai style chocolate cookie. $7 for 2 thin cookies. I got the brownie batter and it was great, falling apart but good. Taste wise for Dubai chocolate was also good. Cookie quality in terms of taste is not the issue. I love chewy cookies but I'm giving it 3 stars for value and also how my cookies stuck together by the time I got home, which was less than 2 miles, so packaging fail. The ladies working at the shop was nice and quick. But $7 for 2 filmsy cookie is a bit expensive in my opinion.“

“Great variety of sweet and savory offerings. Order your coffee via QR code while in line. They only allow a few people inside the ordering area at once. Some outdoor seating available to eat your goods! They were busy even on a weekday. Probably good idea to go early if you have a specific treat in mind!“

“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!!“

“If you’re looking for authentic Japanese traditional sweets in Gardena, Chikara Mochi is a must-visit! Their yaki dango (similar to mitarashi dango) is absolutely delicious—soft, chewy, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet.

They also have a beautiful selection of wagashi and mochi that are almost too cute to eat. Everything is colorful, photogenic, and clearly made with care.

The staff were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the different sweets, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“This cafe is wonderful...they have really good overnight oats and their iced honey lavender lattes are delicious (I know...sounds different, but seriously try it!) The owner is super friendly and the cafe has many places to sit to enjoy your coffee. Will definitely come 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!“

“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“

“This place is definitely under New management. I can tell the difference on my.previous visits. The new staff and service was excellent!
I’m very pleased with the cookies were so soft and fresh and looked incredible, the staff was really hospitable too. Thank you so much. I’m happy to see the changes.“

“The bread and pastries are delicious, but unfortunately, I wasn’t impressed with the coffee. I’ve tried several different types of coffee here, but none of them were particularly good. I’d definitely come back for the bread, but I hope they can improve the coffee.“

“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.“

“Victoria provided outstanding service! Her warm and friendly approach made my visit so enjoyable, and her recommendations were spot on. Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere was lovely thanks to her efforts.
Best, Vitaly from Germany.“

“🥰Traveled to El Segundo for other than stumbling across an unassuming brick building with "Bread Bar" on a small sign. Who would have imagined finding a world-class bakery with a splendid selection of breads and pastries. One taste and I, my family and my friends were hooked! And they ship!“

“Visited this establishment for the first time on a busy Saturday morning. Excellent vibe and welcoming staff!

​When one of my food items never arrived, I went inside and saw a 40-person line. I flagged down Steven M. at the espresso machine to see if he could point me in the right direction. Instead of passing the torch, Steven took full ownership of the situation. He was exceptionally polite, coordinated directly with the kitchen and register teams, and resolved the issue with a great attitude. This was NOT his job, and he did it all professionally with a smile. ​Customer service like Steven’s is rare.

​Food/Drinks: 8.5/10
​Service: 10/10
​Thank you, Steven M.! Give that man a raise.“

“One of the most unassuming donut shops in Santa Monica that cranks out perfect donuts and croissants. They also offer fresh juices which are popular with everyone. You know its a serious donut shop when they offer two sizes of apple fritters! They have great ham & cheese croissants, ready to go or they'll warm it up for you. They also handcraft a variety of breakfast sandwiches, bagel egg & sausage sandwiches, or great lunch sandwich options. Plenty of morning parking, convenient for grabbing a quick dozen for the office!“
