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!“

“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“

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

“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“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“I was excited to come here based on reviews and environment. It looked so cute inside and I was so happy to try it. I ordered a cold brew, but it was extremely watered down, so that was disappointing. The woman who took my order at the counter was not friendly at all, which really ruined the experience for me. It’s almost like I had no right to be there. I didn’t order any food, but the open faced bagels looked really good, so I gave the food 5 stars as a benefit of the doubt.
But I’m not sure I’ll come back based on the sour mood of the cashier.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Angel Maid Bakery is an absolute gem in Los Angeles! It's the perfect spot for anyone looking for stunning, high-quality sweets that won't empty their wallet.
The display cases are always a sight to behold—each cake and pastry is so beautifully decorated, you almost feel bad cutting into it. But your regret will vanish with the first bite! The baked goods are renowned for being light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming.

The selection is fantastic, offering a huge variety from their legendary strawberry shortcake and airy chiffon cakes to delectable cream puffs and individual pastries. Best of all, they consistently offer these top-notch treats at truly cheap prices for LA, making it my go-to for all occasions.“

“Tasty brunch spot in LA, we tried omelette and one other dish, and both were delicious. Addition of turkey and red sauce gave it a tasty twist. Serving size was generous and staff was friendly. Only parking I saw was on the street level which is free only on weekends and holidays.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 💕“

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

“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?“

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

“I am submitting this as my informal petition to please open a location in the Bay Area. I miss all your baked goods, and am sorry I didn’t appreciate you enough when I lived nearby. I thought there’d be other bakeries, other breads. But I cant sleep until I’ve had your cardamom buns again; and when I do I dream of them. Send help.“

“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.
😊 😁“

“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“

“I had ordered a 12 slice carrort cake with butter cream frosting for my boyfriend's birthday. It was a hit! Everyone loved the flavor and spices. It was a very dense and moist cake as well. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely recommend this bakery. I am very happy and very satisfied!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!! ♥️✨“

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

“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!.“

“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“

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

“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:)“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“These cookies are amazing! I’ve sent them to everyone I know.“

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

“This place is small inside so it's when there's a lot of people it's hard to get to the sweet bread. There is a pushy guy inside selling carnitas he almost shoves the meat down your throat too pushy. Bread is good and very good price their bags rip easily so take your own.“

“Tartine Silver Lake is a gem! The space is open and inviting, with a great neighborhood vibe. I grabbed a morning pastry and a coffee for pickup, and everything was ready fast and tasted incredible. The croissant was buttery and flaky—definitely one of the best in LA. The coffee was rich and smooth. Staff were friendly and upbeat, even with a line forming. Perfect spot to grab something quick or hang out for a bit. Can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu!“

“The best. Done and done. They go that extra mile when you need it most.“
