50 Best Bakeries in Los Angeles

“I had been wanting to come here for a long time and try the gluten free birthday cake. It did not disappoint!“

“Creative take on traditional pastries and exceptional classics! Love the fun flavors, but a sucker for their classic chocolate croissant. The cookies are also sooo good, you’ll need to take home at least 3. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

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

“The best vegan baked goods around town! I had the cornbread, almond cookie (gluten free), chocolate chip (gluten free), and Armenian pizza with a mixed tea. So good!“

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

“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.“

“Such an excellent bakery. Can't wait to go back and get more bread and try the different fruit pies. Found this as it was part of the Los Angeles bakery walk event. This is a hidden gem you want to stop at. The coffee drinks have also been excellent.
Nice assortment of gummy bears and they have birthday candles in case you need them for a special event. Very close to downtown culver city, and Kaiser medical center down the street“

“First of all, let's start out saying that this place is across the street from my house dangerous because you walk into this bakery and the vibe is so Sweet and delicious. The young lady is beautiful on the outside as well as in the inside and her cookies and everything else. Oh my gosh you guys if you like cookies delicious soft just exquisite then this is the place to be also remember, she doesn't take cash which is kind of cool for her. I congratulate you young lady LA deserves to know about you honey.“

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

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“Excellent place for all bakery products. This always a queue, soliciting the lovely Brazil. I loved the big Sangki bread and the Banana Bread. The hummus and yoghurt dip, what's awesome? It's her secret recipe for over the years. I heard conversations where the third generation had come to buy from the bakery. It is an excellent place to have your morning breakfast and start the day with an excellent taste combined with health. Reasonable prices great value for money“

“The smell of fresh bread 🥖 walking in is so inviting! Even though I choose the self serve kick option they still made the effort to try to help me with my order. Super rare to see that level of attention. Came in just before the crowd . Got the ever croissant sandwich- made to perfection.

The pastry and dessert options definitely worth trying one of each oh yeah, and that I mentioned the prices are super affordable“

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

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

“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.“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“This bakery is such a dangerous place if you love pastries because everything looks amazing the moment you walk in. There’s a huge variety of baked goods to choose from, and it honestly feels hard to leave with just one thing.

Everything I tried tasted fresh and homemade, with that perfect balance where the pastries feel rich and satisfying without being overly heavy. You can tell they put real care into both the flavor and presentation.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great place to stop for coffee and something sweet. Definitely one of those spots I’d happily come back to whenever I’m craving good pastries in LA“

“Angel Maid Bakery has gone down hill a little bit. Their hours are not what they say and their lot for parking is very small.

That said, their service is still great and they are very nice.

They are limited in what they will do. If you bring in a photo of a cake you want, chances are they won't be able to do it. They do not do images at all. They have a book and you can pick a cake.

Their selection in store is very good, but I am so sick of most of them having a whipped cream frosting that you have to keep cold. I don't like cold cake. Their selection of butter cream is lacking.

They do have a nice selection of cupcakes with butter cream frosting which is great.

When you have them write on a cake you pre ordered you can tell they took very little time to do it, it is sloppy and there is nothing but what you told them to write. Most bakeries add a little flower or something to present the name.

I just had a lemon curd type cake from them and I noticed the sloppy writing and the cake was so sweet I could not eat it, and of course, it was cold.

I won't be back. That is sad. I will find another bakery that cares. But I still give them a 4 because I know a lot of people like sweet cakes with whipped cream frosting and their service is very good.“

“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.“

“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 💕“

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

“The food is so high quality and the bagels are perfect. Can’t forget about that beautiful bacon. It melts in your mouth. It’s also a great atmosphere and food arrives fast. This is a must go again for me. 100 percent recommended by me!🤤👍“

“Everything I ever had from Vienna Pastry is beyond delicious. The staff is wonderful. My favorite cookie in the entire world is made by this fabulous bakery. I live in PA and I never make a trip to CA without several stops at Vienna Pastry. The owner, Jaleh Rahban, is one of the kindest ladies I have ever met. I recommend this shop to everyone. Jane Dornsife“

“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?“

“Strawberry almond cake was good.
Not too sweet. With fresh strawberries.

Front desk lady was kind and very helpful.
No wonder the bakery has been there for 88 years.

Parking can be hard so plan accordingly.“

“I love the ice cream and desserts at this shop.“

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

“I went to LA from Northern México last week, and this petit and magnifique place, was the best place I ever been in a while in LA, simply delicious, and perfect. I hope to go back soon.“

“excellent bakery.......customer service. delicious treats. #miz_pound_cake“

“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!“

“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.
😊 😁“

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

“Always hot bolillos 🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖“

“I recently ordered a picture cake from Red Ribbon Bakeshop's South Vermont Los Angeles location for the second time, and once again, they made my family's birthday celebration extra special. The picture cake is such an amazing touch - beautifully made, delicious, and always a big hit with family and friends. We truly love Red Ribbon products, from the cakes to the pastries, because everything is consistently fresh and flavorful.

A special thank you to Ms. Chello and her staff for their outstanding customer service. Everyone was very accommodating, friendly, and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly with my order. Their kindness and professionalism truly made my experience even better, and it's one of the reasons I happily keep coming back.

The ambiance of the store is welcoming, clean, and cheerful, making every visit pleasant. You can really feel the warmth and hospitality the moment you walk in.

I am a loyal customer and will always consider Red Ribbon for my family's celebrations. Thank you to Ms. Chello and the entire team for always helping make our special occasions even more memorable!“

“Love Roji Bakery! Great, friendly service and the fruit sandos are the best! This was one of my favorite things about my LA trip!❤️❤️❤️“

“Wetzel’s Pretzels is pretty well-loved for their soft, freshly baked pretzels. They have a variety of flavors, from classic salted pretzels to cinnamon sugar and even pretzel dogs. People often rave about their warm, doughy texture and the tasty dipping sauces they offer. Also vegetarian Plus, their staff tends to be super friendly and welcoming, making it a fun experience overall.❤️in Hollywood“

“First time customers and will definitely return. Stopped by this morning looking for a coffee and definitely was a great choice. The BBQ pork buns are amazing. Everything tastes so fresh. We cant wait to return and try more food on menu. 10/10“

“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!“

“I love to eat here everything very rich and clean 😋 👌“

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

“nice people, nice baked goods, good coffee, what else? just go see by yourself you'll like it:)“

“Best kosher bakery!!! Variety of cakes, tarts, best sourdough and multigrain bread! They have gluten free items per request and always happy to accommodate!“

“Just got a family gift box of these delivered for Christmas and man! Great wrapping and appearance! Very festive! NOWW, the taste! The best cranberry cookie (craizy 4 u) I’ve ever eaten! So excited to try the others, I don’t want to share!“

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

“Bella’s Bread & Butter is a gem. The tuna salad is truly outstanding - fresh, perfectly seasoned, and easily the best I’ve had in a long time. Ordered today and was pleasantly surprised with a free tote bag, which just added to the experience. Great food, great vibes, and such a welcoming touch. Absolutely love this place and will definitely be back.“

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

“Love this paraderia...it is always fresh and has a huge variety of mexican sweet bread. And the bolillos are the best, super soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, the perfect bolillo for a good torta or to enjoy it with some mexican hot chocolate“

“So so so good! I come here just for the tapioca bread, such good quality of ingredients and taste! The people here are extremely friendly and always make sure we are helped and are so kind and cute! Thank you so much ! You should come here for delicious pasteries friendly atmosphere and very kind workers!“

“My go to breakfast spot. Love how vegan friendly it is and on a beautiful LA day it’s such a gorgeous spot to sit outside and talk with friends. The steak sandwich and breakfast crunch wrap are my current favs but it’s hard to pick when everything is so good!“
