26 Best Bakeries in Pasadena

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

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

“We ordered our wedding cake from Yvonne’s Vegan Kitchen. Using the cake testing kit was a great experience—it came with a lovely personalized note, and was a great activity to do together while planning our wedding (and provided us multiple evenings’ worth of dessert!) The staff at the store were always friendly to interact with, as well.

Ordering was very easy and straightforward, with prompt and efficient communication. We ended up using one of the example designs on the website, and it came out looking wonderful. The cake had layers of chocolate and red velvet cake with mocha buttercream icing and hazelnuts added between the layers—we highly recommend this combination!

We tasked a family member with fetching us breakfast on the day, and coincidentally they happened to visit Yvonne’s Vegan Kitchen for that as well—so thank you also for some delicious breakfast baked goods!“

“Family-run! Father cooks while daughter is front of house — love to see it! Their focaccia is so good, and the Daviola pizza was awesome too. The dough was airy and light while the meat was super juicy. Service was excellent: they really take care of you there. They really pay attention 💕“

“As vegans, we have been to countless cafes and restaurants. ID Eclair is THE BEST of the best. Amazingly delicious, pure, fabulous vegan food!“

“Great food �“

“10 out of 10 the lemon poppy seed cinnamon roll. Man oh man. Chefs kiss. I’m not big on matcha but I saw the owner making a strawberry one and I said I’ll give it a shot. Probably one of the best I’ve had. I also got the cornbread cookie and red velvet cookie. Both very good. I wanted the banana pudding but that would’ve been doing too much. Lol Service was amazing, all the ladies inside were attentive, supportive and sweet. There was a line outside to door. I waited no more than 5-6 min. That included wait time, placing ordering and getting my food. I highly recommend.“

“Featured in the The Donut King 🫶🫶🫶 @bcdonuts_pasadena this donut shop founded in 1987 represents the legacy of Cambodian representation in the donut scene in SoCal today!

Great people, great food, great drinks! A local favorite as evidenced by the ongoing traffic and first name accounts!

Go support them!!! Their breakfast options and drinks are also solid 🩵👌“

“I was sad and wanted something sweet and definitely found the right place.
Im not even a banana pudding fan, but the pudding was delicious!! Creamy, with wafer and banana… perfection! And dont get me started on the sweet potato pie ❤️❤️❤️ it was so amazing that my 4 year old stole my last bite.
Service was excellent. We will definitely be back.“

“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!!“

“Had their eggs Benedict, it was OK.
Their iced Chai tased mostly like cinnamon water.
Their almond croissant was decent.
All that with tip was $60 for breakfast.
I can think of MANY places where I could have had better breakfast food for that price.
Waitress and hostesses were on point with great service, so at least there’s that.“

“The most creative tasty, beautifully served pastries. Christine is the owner, a very talented graphic/product designer, who creates tasty Gourmet Sandwiches, best Expresso coffee, with fabulous Quiches, her Brioche is very moist and tasty!!! Her bakery reminds me of a fine Viennese Café. I lived in Salzburg and Vienna for 7 years, so I know of what I speak. E Felsööry“

“Thank you for the AMAZING cake!!!! 😍😍😍“

“Delicious. Love the variety every week.“

“Not a huge cake fan, but my wife loves Susie Cakes, so I ordered the Summer Strawberry Whip Cake for her birthday, and I am now a cake fan. So light and delicious. Perfection. It's a seasonal limited time only. Better jump on it. Also, really nice staff at the Pasadena Lake Avenue store.“

“Suzy sne the best all delicious sweets 😍😍😍“

“My kids and I Can’t have enough of the cheese burag...“

“Such a fan of Miopane in Taiwan so was super excited to see their first opening in America. Different flavors here for sure but the quality of the bagels was equal — so fluffy and chewy and fun! I do wish they had more cream cheese inside, and am forever waiting for the day they do a taro bagel. Also, the staff here was so beyond friendly. Highly recommend stopping by for a Taiwanese-style bagel :)“

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

“Violets cupcakes are the best!!! The monkeys delight is absolutely amazing!!!“

“Arrived around 10:45 and only waited 20minutes before ordering! The guy taking our orders was happy to answer all my questions and give recommendations. They are also organized with the line with is nice, helps with the calm aura of the place. Lucked out and they had the limited dot croissant and the Prince pizza collab at the same time - super cool! The pizza was delish. Ordered the maple salted butter latte with almond milk as well to round out my morning. Would def come again ☺“

“Quite unique and yummy pastries.. Highly recommend“

“I used the Vons app today for a one hour delivery time frame via the Carlsbad, CA store. After the third-party member picked up the order and did not deliver for almost three hours, I requested a refund for the melted ice cream which I received promptly. I certainly did not expect to see this a couple of hours later: a refund for the entire purchase...thank you Vons for going above and beyond with your customer service!“

“I always make it a point to go to dots when I'm in town from Seattle, I was bummed to find out that their fair Oaks location closed but delighted to see this one here on Colorado. It's bigger with more food options, café style. The cupcakes of course are still delicious, lots of great options. Beautiful cafe, friendly service.“
