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“

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

“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“

“Awesome spot these people are extremely nice and have great customer service! We bought 2 cakes and the cashier gave us a free slice of CHOCOLATE CAKE 🍰 im obsessed thank you so much would absolutely come back and a million times recommended! 💗💗💗🫰🏻🫰🏻“

“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.“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“House of Bread is great. They have fresh, made daily bread of all types as well as pastry items. It is all good. They even have vegan items.

The service at House of Bread is just wonderful. The small staff gets the job done and the know what they have and what is the best. They make the most tasty banana bread. You can get it vegan or not. Both are great. I prefer the regular banana bread because I like butter on mine.

The place is super cute, very clean and you will smell bread when you walk in. they have some of the best pastries. They are all great. Their Persian bread is the best.

The place is small so be on the lookout or you will miss it.

We love this more than La Brea Bakery bread and we though we had found our bread when we saw it in stores, but House of Bread is better.“

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

“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“

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

“I’ve been coming here for almost five years. Their ham and cheese croissant used to be one of the best in LA with perfectly laminated dough, thick ham, and plenty of cheese. The shell was a bit dense and heavier than other bakeries, but that’s actually why I enjoyed it. It had a unique texture and feel.

Sadly, the quality has declined a lot in recent years. The croissant is now much smaller, dry, and skimpy on fillings. Today it honestly tasted like an airport croissant.

Coffee, Swedish buns, and other food are still great, and the staff are always kind. But the shop often seems understaffed and the dining area is not as clean as before. I still want to support them, but the overall experience no longer feels as special as it once did.“

“1. The donut looked pretty and tasted delicious! I did not feel heavy when eating the cream!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes! It is part of an indoor shopping area!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in about 5 mins!
Note: There is a restroom area for customers!

“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.“

“edit: i really love this place. the first time i went to it was magical. if there was a place i could go to for every birthday or celebration it would be this one!! going into the crazy koreatown traffic is worth the journey for this place. the aesthetic is so cozy and i hope many other people enjoy this place. upon entering you smell the sweet aroma of all the pastries

lovely matcha and matcha pastries. the ube pastries are also tasty. kind staff and cute space. there’s plenty of benches outside to sit and eat“

“The chocolate 2 layer cake with chocolate icing (or with vanilla icing, but the chocolate icing is the best) and sprinkles is INCREDIBLE. I'm normally not impressed by vegan cakes, but this one is genuinely so good. I'd serve it to anyone confidently!!

I order it every year for my bday and my friend's bday. It's the best vegan cake I've had in LA.

Two pics are below - chocolate icing (with a train on top per request) and vanilla icing (with sprinkles covering the cake).“

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

“Busy on the weekends and mornings so recommend coming here on a weekday. We came here during Wednesday for dinner and did not have to wait. They were out of the chicken rice but had everything else. You order at the front and then get a seat. They don’t do reservations so best to come with a small group of 2-3. Highlights on the menu for us we’re the French Toast and Pork Belly Rice. The French Toast was sweet with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Overall, great place with good prices and would come back!“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

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

“Clark Street Bakery delivers a premium experience every time. Their breads and pastries are clearly crafted with care, and while they charge a premium, the quality absolutely matches it. I come here several times a week because everything, from the food to the atmosphere, feels elevated. The two managers, Ms. Nalani and Mr. Rafael, always greet me warmly, though I never need their help since there’s nothing to complain about. My only wish is that they didn’t close so sharply at 3 PM; staying open until 4 would be perfect. And the barista lady consistently makes the coffee better whenever she’s on shift.“

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

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

“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.
😊 😁“

“Always hot bolillos 🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Amazing place!! Do yourself a favor and go! Make it“

“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!“
