50 Best Bakeries near Marina Del Rey

“I walked into this small place thinking of just getting a quick snack and was absolutely gobsmacked at how soft and fluffy their sugar glazed donut was. I went back every day during my trip to LA and the quality was top notch every single time. I was even more overjoyed when I found out they're open 24 hours. Even their croissants blew my mind with how soft and fluffy the pastry was! The best part is how affordable it is! Genuinely can't believe such a gem exists in this economy, highly recommend!!“

“These cupcakes/cakes are to die for.... Ok maybe not die, but well worth traveling 30 miles out of my way for And definitely worth blowing any diet LOVE LOVE LOVE SUSIE CAKES“

“I live in this area. my first trip here was great and I received great customer service and the coffee was good. the second trip I encountered someone who didn't really greet me when I came to the counter even though I was the only one and she wasn't really busy and the coffee she made was not that great because it was almost all oat milk on top and the syrup on the bottom. they definitely have very good pastries but the coffee is more questionable.“

“Stopped in for my first time this past weekend and thought they were pretty good. It’s true that this is not my favorite bagel spot in LA but I live very close by to it so it’s conveniently located for me and it really hit the spot this past Sunday morning. They don’t really have indoor seating, and it’s not very large on the inside because it is more of a to go type of spot however it’s not quite as quick as some of the other bagel spots. They seemed to have less staff than some of the others, so that could be the cause. The menu is quite large and they have a lot of great bagel flavor options. It’s located in a shopping mall so there’s plenty of free parking attached and close by. The lady behind the counter was polite and there were a lot of other customers in there as well so it seems like it’s a popular place.

My first visit I chose an Everything Bagel with cream cheese, avocado, and chorizo and enjoyed it. I wish the chorizo would’ve been spicier and had a little bit more flavor, but the other components were really good. The Everything Bagel was a little bit heavy on the sesame, but still I enjoyed it. We also tried one of the Garlic Bagels, and thought it was actually very nice. It was not overly garlicky but well balanced. I would give this place another try in the future and would recommend to anyone in the area.“

“Beautiful breakfast near our hotel. Fresh crusty bread, excellent coffee, great value. The ingredients were healthy, organic eggs, the produce was like being at a farmer’s market, and we had excellent service. Five stars!⭐️“

“Oh wow!! Just had the 5” apple pie and it was absolutely incredible! It was perfect! Better than any pie I’ve ever had and my 84-year-old mom said the same thing. THIS is what pie is supposed to taste like!“

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

“A dream, truly. Everything here is magical ✨ Lara is THE SWEETEST! Even sweeter than the treats 🍪 and her story is very cool and inspiring. You absolutely cannot go wrong but my favorites are the Bourbon Maple 🍁 Vanilla Pecan bar, Sweet Potato 🍠 Pie bars, the brookies, chocolate chip/espresso Oreo cookies 🍪, the London fog and biscoff cookies are also fire…. Imma just name the whole menu if I continue! One of my fav bakeries in LA! And now they have cafecitos too! Which are also divine. Parking is easy- either street or neighborhood. The shop is clean and inviting. 10, 10, 10 across the board.“

“Finally got to try this boulangerie, and it didn’t disappoint!! Be prepared for a line, if you’re lucky not a long one. They use whole grain flour and amazing butter quality, the flakiness is insane even on the cinnamon roll which Im usually not a fan of and I think that I might go back just for that!! Also got the pain au chocolat granola which I can’t wait to try… it’s genius!!“

“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 .“

“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.“

“**A sweet slice of heaven in Santa Monica!** Junior Cookies is an absolute *gem*. I came in for the cookies (which are AMAZING – warm, gooey, and perfectly crisp on the edges), but I stayed for the whole vibe. Their ice cream is ultra creamy with rich, dreamy flavors that pair perfectly with the cookies—highly recommend making your own cookie cream with ice cream with cookies! I was also pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee is. It’s bold, smooth, and just what I needed to balance out the sugar rush. Honestly, it’s rare to find a cookie shop where the coffee actually stands out, but Junior Cookies gets it right. Best coffee, best cookies, best matcha, and best ice cream in la! The place is super cute inside, with a cozy neighborhood feel and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. You can tell everything is made with love. The cookies and recipes are unique. 5 star bakery in LA. If you're in Santa Monica, **don’t miss this spot**. Whether you’re craving dessert, a caffeine fix, or just want to treat yourself, Junior Cookies delivers!“

“I was honestly blown away by how good their gluten-free cookies are. As someone who’s gluten-free, it’s rare to find cookies that actually taste like the real thing, soft, flavorful, and not overly dry or crumbly. These were easily the best gluten-free cookies I’ve ever had.“

“Hidden coffee and pastry gem in the Heart of Beverly Hills. Definitely a great date spot 🤫 Do not miss the chance to visit if you are a tourist 😋 For locals try their Salmon Bagel reminds me of New York 🗽
P.S. also they have luxury and bougie cakes 🤪“

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

“Also, Price points amazing.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Come here for the pie! While the cookies we tried were a bit lackluster, the pie was phenomenal. In particular, the passion fruit-tangerine pie amazed—its silken texture and perfectly tuned tartness were a pleasure. The crust was thin and tasty, yet sturdy enough for the slice to be finger food.“

“I arrived just as they were closing, but they still kindly sold me a piece of bread instead of turning me away. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the bread was simply divine—fresh, flavourful, and worth every bite.

Excellent customer service and excellent bread. I’ll definitely be back, hopefully a little earlier next time.“

“I popped into Baked Bar on Washington Blvd in Culver City..Best decision I could have made! Not only was the food amazing but the service was equally amazing!!!
My new favorite bakery.
I went in for a cup of coffee…but ended up getting a cup of dreamy camomile tea, a 1/2 loaf of roasted garlic sour dough, a melt in your mouth bacon breakfast sandwich, and 2 Vegan chocolate chip cookies for my kids! What a haul!!
I love ❤️😘 this place!!“

“We had a nice, cozy dinner here and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We ordered our pasta without cheese, but it was accidentally served with cheese. The staff handled the mistake very professionally and apologized immediately. They quickly brought us the correct order, and the service throughout the evening was friendly and attentive. Mistakes can happen, but the way they resolved the situation was excellent.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Excellent experience! It was extremely busy, but our server IZZY made us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant. The service was attentive, friendly, and never rushed.

The focaccia bread was absolutely out of this world. Even with a packed restaurant, the food came out and tasted just as amazing as every other time we’ve been here. We’ll definitely be back, whether it’s busy or not!“

“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!

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“I absolutely love Crumbl Cookies because it’s not just cookies - it’s cookies made with care. They’re warm, soft, and always fresh. This is truly a place where you can enjoy the art of baking.

If you have a sweet tooth, I definitely recommend choosing these cookies over any others you might find.“

“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.“

“The worker was very nice, and the store was clean. We got the Oreo cheesecake mousse, and the tres leches cake slice. We didn't care for the mousse too much, but that was personal preference (not that it was bad). The tres leches cake was where it was at! We both loved it! It was light and balanced, not sopping with milk like some places do. That being said, I think if you're looking for a traditional tres leches slice you might be disappointed. This was more like a traditional, light, white cake. It was delicious though!“

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

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

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

“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!“

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

“I’ve been here twice now to have a coffee and work on their patio. I love it. I’m not a huge coffee drinker but love their lattes!! They also treated my dog to a pup cup. Everyone working is so friendly and nice. The food looks incredible - I’m excited to try it next time.“

“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“

“OK, it’s cookies, not pastries… but oh, my, oh, my!! Delicious, imaginative cookies. We went in for 2, came out with a dozen (+ 1 for a baker’s dozen‼️).“

“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.“

“We ordered two sandwiches with a side of fries, and everything was honestly so good. The sandwiches tasted super fresh and were made with quality ingredients. I got the tuna sandwich, and it was loaded with crisp veggies and sprouts, which gave it the perfect crunch and made it feel really balanced instead of heavy. The fries deserve their own shoutout they came out hot, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and were impossible to stop eating. Portions were generous, service was friendly, and our order came out pretty quickly even though it was busy. 10/10“
