50 Best Bakeries near Monrovia

“Delicious! Ordered a couple dozen cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday party, and they were great. I wish I had taken pictures, because they looked as good as they tasted. Unfortunately, they didn’t last long once the kiddos saw them. Thanks, Chay’s Treats!“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Paris Baguette has been a huge contribution to the food scene in Old Town Monrovia. Their Italian coffee is simply the best that I've found, moving me from a 3+ decade Starbucks habit. And their plain croissants are excellent. Hanging out at PG is now a regular ending to my (almost) daily walk. Thank you Alex and Oksana for making PG happen, week after week. Fred“

“Going local-origin for my next batch of pumpernickel bagels. Choco-latte and Nicaraguan chocolate down here are legit crazy awesome!“

“Went for first time today. Extremely busy place. But considering the number of customers, they were pretty fast. I would definitely recommend them for their quality and efficiency. It’s noisy because of the hard surfaces construction but otherwise, all good.“

“I went in on Tuesday, the new owners were in back of me. I was telling the cashier how disappointed my daughter was, we came in on monday and it was closed. Well the new owners, gave me a couple cookies for free. That was so awesome of them. My daughter was so happy and she said" Thank you so much!"“

“Home style Armenian/Middle Eastern Bakery that brings the flavors and aromas of my travels locally.“

“Patty's was very communicative and responded quickly to our emails about our wedding cake. They made a cake exactly to our specifications and it tasted divine! We got the banana cake with guava filling and cream cheese frosting, and we got so many compliments on the taste. I applaud Patty's and can't wait to eat more of the leftovers :)“

“This hidden gem is the real deal. The food, service, atmosphere and everything was absolutely fantastic. I have been wanting to try them out for so long and now I am kicking myself that I didn’t come sooner. If you are Italian and want real Italian food this is your place.“

“I was and raised in east la/montebello. I have gone to so many bakeries in the area and surrounding areas and have NEVER ever everrrr found a bakery like Chapala. Every single item is fresh! Delicious! Mouth watering. It is so good it is addicting. Place is so clean and nicely organized. I have never even seen a fly. Stop going to your usual bakery and come try this, you will not be disappointed! No questions asked THIS is the best of the best!“

“Great food �“

“I attended a kids' birthday party and they had the most delicious cake ever. It was chocolate with a fresh strawberry center. The chocolate cake was so moist. The icing was light and delicate. This cake was talked about with everyone. We kept saying, "it's not too sweet," which is the best compliment you can say for a cake. I wasn't the one that purchased the cake but I definitely will now after this.“

“09/11/25: The Latina staff member was very friendly and welcoming (same person I met on my last visit!) — her service attitude is excellent. The food here is always very, very delicious, and the little bunny cake was amazing with fresh ingredients.

However, I did feel disappointed with another staff member (Asian) who came across as unfriendly and gave me attitude. Since I am also Asian, I honestly don’t know if I did something wrong, but it made me uncomfortable.

Overall, the quality of the food is outstanding, and I truly enjoy coming here. I just hope the management can strengthen training for individual employees so that the service experience matches the excellent food.“

“Love the shop and the staff (owner and kids), amazing tuna sandwich in toasted croissant (was actually blown away) and got a massive box of donuts and pasties (TooGoodToGo app). Great spot and lighter donuts, not super cakey and dense, don’t feel as guilty!“

“If this is not the best banh mi in all of Sgv and Oc, I don’t know of any place that can beat them. All cash by the way so come prepared. Their dac biet is the perfect sandwich and their daikon and carrots are light and bouncy with fresh jalapeno with the right amount of pate and butter. They have it down to perfection, nothing less. Had an open house and served it for homebuyers and they were blown away! Highly recommend! Cafe sua da is gold too, loved the shaved ice in the coffee and not too sweet. The ladies in the back are super sweet and you can buy the baguettes and freeze them, then 350 f for 6 mins in toaster or airfryer. Get the egg rolls, and pa te so is good too. My clients loved their vegetarian banh mi too!

Vegetarian options: Just get he vegetarian banh mi! Only vegetarian thing to get or just plain baguettes! It will be worth it!“

“Grew up going to this panaderia. I stopped going for awhile, it's been a few years. I finally went back recently. And Even better than I remember it. The delicious pan dulce, champurrado, Cinnamon tea, bollio con jalapeño & cream cheese, also with papas & chorizo, ready mady sandwiches? cant go wrong! So delicious, my kids love it from here as well! Definitely recommend!“

“I ordered sandwiches from them so many times, and it is a small take out order place only. Love 💖 the way they fixed their ingredients, tasted exactly like hometown and prices are reasonable,services are polite . Highly recommend. Parking in & out at no time.“

“just a wonderful place my favorite spot“

“I needed a catering job for the entire LA County/USC ER Room medical staff and all support personnel. 150 complete box lunches and I needed them delivered to East Los Angeles by 11.30 am. This amazing staff got up at 3 am to make sure the order was there and on time. Rave reviews were emailed to me about the quality and care of the delicious care packages given to each of those important caregivers at the hospital. First rate care and preparation. They earned my business and my respect. And support our local businesses. Just like hospitals we need diners and bakeries too! Job well done Crust and Crumble! Highly recommend.“

“Nice clean and delicious stuff“

“The bakery and tamales are delicious!!!“

“This weekend, at my niece’s Sweet 16 celebration, I tasted a cake that completely changed my mind about dessert. I usually hate cake—but this one? Hands down the most delicious, unforgettable slice I’ve ever had. I was so blown away, I had to ask my sister-in-law where she got it and the exact location. It was that good.“

“Delicious vegan pan dulce! Super nice people too. I highly recommend Soy Concha!“

“Yummy! You won’t be disappointed …check them out for your next food event. Pizza 🍕 Rules!“

“Only the best � All cakes are delicious but my favorite has to be the 3 leches and the Mango .“

“Very cute little local dessert place. All the desserts are made fresh. My girlfriend and I were just looking for a sweet treat and found this place. We got a crème brule, a carrot cake, a macaroon and two iced teas. The iced teas are made fresh and then put over ice. They were very good. My gf got a passion fruit one and I got got mint. We would definitely come again. And the workers I think are the owners but they were super nice and even asked us to try the teas before we left to make sure we were happy with them. Would definitely come back“

“Baked goods are worth the journey. Po Tarts are a great value for cost and taste.
No place to eat in but great for picking up and enjoying at home. If you get any tart, make sure you sneak one in after the purchase even if it’s in your car as it is really good.“

“Hiatus= opportunity for another stop in the LAtte tour. Today’s pilgrimage finds me in Sierra Madre at Syndicate, a fantastic find nestled comfortably downtown on Sierra Madre Blvd. Plenty of street parking and a beautiful place to take a stroll if you don’t score a spot immediately out front. The vibe is instantly welcoming, decor is colorfully minimalist, that’s probably not a thing, but it’s the best descriptor I have. The baristas are friendly, skilled and true devotees to all things coffee, even willing to share some potential sites to visit on the next LAtte stop. The coffee itself is excellent, rich, flavorful and no hint of bitterness. I went with oat milk this time and it paired perfectly with the blend, rich creamy, delicious! I can wholeheartedly recommend a visit should you find yourself in the area, or even if your not- expand your horizons and make it a destination, it’s worth it.“

“We’ve been getting cakes at this place for around 4-6 years I believe. The cakes have always been moist, soft, and extremely delicious/flavorful. A birthday cake we got of chocolate w/ strawberry filling tasted amazing but a bit dry (that was the only time that happened). We love that the frostings aren’t so sugary to the point that it’s obnoxious. It’s just perfectly balanced. My favs are the fruit tarts & vanilla cake w/mixed fruit filling. We have tasted the vanilla w/ mango cake and it’s phenomenal!! We recently tried the cream and custard puffs & they were light and creamy, 10/10 recommend. We have bought cakes here for dinner gatherings with friends & they’ve enjoyed the cakes too, always asking where we buy them. It’s true that the bakery “appearance wise” would appreciate a nice upkeep since it looks a bit old fashioned/worn out but it’s always clean and organized so it doesn’t bother us. It’s honestly a gem hidden in Montebello :)

Parking: Free parking at the back of the bakery!“

“We ordered the pecan pie for Thanksgiving. It was the best part of our meal!! I've gone through a lot of pecan pies in my life. Always disappointed that the crust doesn't have the right amount of salt to balance the sweetness or that sweet gooey stuff around the pecans is artificial tasting or the pecans don't taste right. This pie is perfect from start to finish. It's made with real butter which I can taste. The pecans seem to be just slightly roasted and there's lots of them. I'm so happy with this place. I'm ready to try their other products. We ordered online and everything worked out perfectly. There's a bit of a line out the door but you have to understand why. It's just really really good. I cannot eat a pecan pie from anywhere else at this point. Thank you, Susiecakes!!“

“Paris Baguette is a popular franchise bakery cafe located on Las Tunas street in SGV. They offer delectable baked goods — Indulge in Freshly Baked Breads, Pastries, Cakes, Coffee drinks and More. Funny facts, it’s a South Korean owned multinational chain established in 1986.

I ♥️ Paris Bagutte! Always with delicious pastry and really good iced coffee. If I am on my cheat day, PB is my got to place.
It was my first time on this location and it was impressive. It’s located next to a luxury apartment bldg. Indoor seats were comfortable and its atmosphere was relaxing.

I ordered a Cold Brew, Strawberry croissant, Coffee Cronut and Croissant Donut. All items were great in taste and texture. I had a sugar high after eating those pastries haha! Anyways, staff (Isabela) was nice and professional and prices were reasonable and match the quality. Overall, this PB location was good and I recommend you visit.“

“clean fresh well stocked big variety“

“I love this location it’s super close to my house!!!

I recommend crumbl for having a lot of choices of cookies, having best chocolate chip cookies!!!

Then, what i love the most is that everyweek they have different choices of cookies that we can choose from♥️“

“This place is a family owned business and an absolute gem with the sweetest staff! I always drop by before I have a team meeting or a family outing. The blueberry donuts are so fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Muffins are also out of this world. I always go for the blueberry or banana nut muffins. Everything is always fresh at Wen’s 🥰“

“Mom and Pop store...they make you feel like family.. Everything is cooked perfectly..arrive early....“

“Best egg tarts in town. It’s carb worthy. Love the mini fruit tarts, pineapple buns, scallion buns, thick toast as well.“

“R u Serious!!! An unbelievable flavor explosion created by the chef at SEED. Gott be the best chile relleno of my life! The chile, the cilantro, the greens a robust farm fresh egg. BAMM!!“

“I visited Baking with Ish on the day I was getting ready to fly out of LAX. I had been getting instagram recommendations on my feed for a few months (even though I don’t live in CA), and I’m glad I decided to put this place on my list to check out before I left. I got the ube sesame bun and the cheese and ube pie and both of them were fantastic. I wish I lived closer so I could come back and try more items, to be honest everything on display looked unreal. Wishing the best for Ish and team, you’re making some really amazing stuff.“

“Excelentes personas, el servicio más que bueno y qué decir del producto (pan) delicioso 🤤 manejamos 5 horas para poder comerlo. Recomiendo al 💯“

“A really pleasant place. Casual, but sharp and stylish, French café and bakery. Nice selection ranging from shared plates to burgers and sandwiches, salads, pastas and entrees. Good wine selection and specialty coffees. Exceptionally friendly and caring service. Live music as well. Really cool experience.“

“Some of the most artistic and best tasting pastry I've ever had in my life ...and I'm 67“

“Great small cake shop that has unique flavors!“

“Love the BOGO Boba Drinks. I tried Thai Tea it was delicious. My son who is very picky and only usually gets Vanilla shakes. But he actually liked the flavor of the Milk Tea. He said it was smooth and tasted delicious. Friendly Customer Service. Great place to come back to.“

“Pan delicioso en ningún lugar lo venden tan rico“

“I had a problem with a product and call them up and they took care of it right away . They customer service.is great.“

“This bakery has been around longer than I've been alive, same owners and the quality has not changed. There's a line out the door at 5am and they're usually sold out of most stuff by noon but they're constantly bringing fresh stuff out throughout the day.“

“This is the best donut shop HAND DOWN. All the donuts are great and the worker is very friendly. I have gone there for many years and it never disappoints. I like coming here with friends and they all love it. Anybody who wants a quick donut should come here.“
