50 Best Bakeries near Lomita

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

“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!!!!“

“Everything here is delicious. I recommend the fruits roll cake.

The fresh homemade mochi they sell at new years is authentic. It goes well with a sauce made from soy sauce and sugar, wrapped in nori; it’s sweet, savory, fragrant and umami!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“best food in Cali ,love it 😋..Ouaa“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“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 absolutely love your Pastries, the Vanilla Oat Milk was a recommendation from one of the workers and it was a hit!“

“Food here is outstanding! We picked our food to go for an impromptu picnic at the park and enjoyed eveything. The carbonara was a knock out, very rich and decadent. All the pastries were yum, but the morning bun was our favorite. And the sandwiches are so well constructed with bread that was obviously baked fresh.

Only thing ill say is the patio is not good for large parties so if you intend to dine in, the seating there it ideal for parties of 2 or 4.“

“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!“

“I love how beautiful everything is presented, truly works of art! Always fresh and delicious, so go early because they sell out quickly! Two versions of the Sakura mochi (not pictured because I forgot) are elegant and give you options for the traditional anko or the shiroan. You can count on polite, prompt service with each visit. They are CASH only, which I usually forget. Please go and support this small business that has been a Gardena favorite for decades!“

“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!“

“What a cute bakery! I got an iced masala chai, a fruit tart, and a pepperoni mozzarella bagel and I don’t know which one I loved the most! Probably the fruit tart because it was SO FRESH! The chai tea was delishhh and the bagel definitely filled me up! Support this business, BUY LOCAL, BUY SMALL-TIME!!! We have to support people who are truly making a difference and going above and beyond!“

“A bit disappointing that we came for the famous cookies yet for the week of Thanksgiving they were ONLY serving pies exclusively; not a single cookie.

The pies were very very good but it’s not what we came for and sadly we’ll be leaving before they begin selling the cookies again. 🍪“

“Absolutely delicious Beautiful setting too“

“donuts are always Fresh n good“

“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 !!“

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

“I bought a half dozen cookies yesterday. They were delicious, and my family loved them. Birthday cake was my favorite flavor.“

“My new favorite!! We will be back!“

“Yummy everything is delicious“

“The friendliest local bakery ever, nestled amongst houses and apartments on the hill in San Pedro. Friendly folks making great food. I stop in to get a slice of their sheet pan pizza once a week: imagine your high school cafeteria pizza, but elevated to the nth degree: comfort food upgraded.“

“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.“

“Love their Guatemalan quesidilla! It's Gf and they will wrap it separately when asked. Their tamales are awesome too! Worth the wait, and there usually is one because their food is fresh and tasty. The place has seats, but most people are visiting on their way in to work and most take their food to go.“

“Good bagels at this place“

“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.“

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

“I absolutely LOVE this place, it'd the best bakery in Gardena!!! I live in the Inland Empire and any reason for me to stop by and grab something I do.
We got the Strawberry cake for my mom's birthday which was made to perfection.
The service is always great!“

“I tasted one of Caramel pecan praline cookies, and the soft chewy caramel just hit the spot. These are sinful!“

“Starbread Bakery in Carson has the most delicious Señorita Bread — truly one of a kind! It’s perfect with a nice hot coffee. I always buy a box for my customers and it’s been a total hit. Everyone who tries it wants to know where this amazing place is! I’ve never been happier to share something that brings so many smiles. Thank you for making such wonderful Señorita Bread! 💜💜💜💜💜💜👍🏼👍🏼“

“The best cake 🎂 experience you can have , to a time long gone were mom would make a birthday cake from scratch ,reminiscing the 1950’ cooking of good old Americana. Don’t missed the opportunity to taste the past in one bite !!!..“

“mejor panadería que Bimbo100×100%“

“Great small location with delicious pastries. I've had most of them and I can't quite choose a favorite because they are all so good. Give this place a try and visit too. Don't forget to order their fresh brewed coffee as well. Yummmm!“

“Yummy Cakes Delicious foods“

“Best cinnamon rolls ever and I loved it!“

“I loved this place and I don’t ever make reviews but after trying this place out I had to make a review. The donuts are unique but the most delicious treat I’ve ever had. The boba and lemonade are also amazing they don’t lack on anything and I loved the food.“

“A normal corner donut shop. I decided to try it out. Overall satisfied. Service was great. I ordered half a dozen donuts and got an extra for free ?? Giving it 5 stars because it is what you'd expect and the prices were decent~ Would come back for the donuts. Didn't mind my sausage, egg, and croissant sandwich. The blended mocha was yummy too. I do want to try one of their smoothies next time. Total cost for 1/2 dozen donuts, two blended mochas, and a #7 was about $21 if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, hella worth the price.“

“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__“

“So happy there is a bakery close to me that makes me feel closer to my beautiful Guatemala ?? The owners and workers are all so nice, and the bread is delicious ? I ordered tamales for the holidays, and they were also delicious! They tasted like the ones my tia used to make. Recommend 10/10.“

“Stopped by this morning to grab some pastries and not only were they still warm 😍 but they are so fresh. The fruit inside is real fruit, not some weirdly tinted gel. Everything is so delicious!“
