“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!“

“Marsha was incredible. We were looking for someone who could provide all the dessert for our wedding, bring us something other than a traditional wedding cake experience, and also bring some extra flair to our big day. Marsha did all that and more. Our cake table was decorated so beautifully! She made the most delicious cupcakes of all different flavors for our guests to enjoy. She even made an ADORABLE cake topper for us that everyone raved about. In addition, Marsha made us a gorgeous, delicious, moist 3 layer cake , and she even was able to bring a ROLLED ICE cart too! People could not get over how cool it was to have rolled ice cream at our wedding, especially because Marsha had extra cupcakes to put in with the ice cream. She was so collaborative, easy to work with, and fun. Everything we asked her to do, she accommodate, often gently giving her sage advice along the way. We could not possibly recommend Marsha any higher than we do. She is absolutely incredible and soooo many people raved about their experience with her at our wedding. 10/10 for everything!!“

“Mochi donuts are amazing here! Fair variety, fast service, the display is high so it's easy to browse without squatting or bending over (a huge plus for me)!
Parking can be rediculous as it's mall parking, best to NOT park where Google tells you to (in front of the main entrance to PF Chang's and Lazy Dog) and go over to the side of the building by the entrance to the Mitsuwa Food Court for easiest access!
My family was so excited to try mochi donuts as they'd never had them! These did not disappoint!!!!“

“I bought a half dozen cookies yesterday. They were delicious, and my family loved them. Birthday cake was my favorite flavor.“

“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.“

“Joseph's Bakery is fantastic, I always try to get in here whenever I'm in the area. They have wonderful baked goods (especially the brownies), pastries, and nostalgic little square pizza slices. The staff are wonderful. The family who runs this place is just great; very kind, very welcoming, and happy to share what they've made with you! If you're nearby and you feel like getting a sweet treat, please, for your sake, don't make the mistake of passing this place up.“

“Been going there for years, the best bakery in SoCal. Every time I bring a cake or cookies to a gathering, everyone always asks where I got them from!“

“Love their Guatemalan quesidilla! It's Gf and they will wrap it separately when asked. Their tamales are awesome too! Worth the wait, and there usually is one because their food is fresh and tasty. The place has seats, but most people are visiting on their way in to work and most take their food to go.“

“BEST Panaderia in South Bay for fresh hot bollios or pan dulce, BUT service can sometimes feel like you are handing money to a robot. Yes, I understand sometimes it 6-7am in the early morning, but the counter staff are just lifeless a lot of the time.“

“Probably the best dessert I've ever tasted in Southern California.“

“A friend brought me their Matcha almond croissant, the Black forest Cake even though it really wasn't a black forest it was totally delicious as well as the matcha almond croissant. The croissant can rival any French bakery. It was buttery, soft and absolutely delicious. Thank you ,JJ Bakery“

“🥰Traveled to El Segundo for other than stumbling across an unassuming brick building with "Bread Bar" on a small sign. Who would have imagined finding a world-class bakery with a splendid selection of breads and pastries. One taste and I, my family and my friends were hooked! And they ship!“

“Everything here is delicious. I recommend the fruits roll cake.

The fresh homemade mochi they sell at new years is authentic. It goes well with a sauce made from soy sauce and sugar, wrapped in nori; it’s sweet, savory, fragrant and umami!“

“Good bagels at this place“

“I love the donuts here. They are so fresh all the time everytime. The gentleman that served me was so kind and friendly. The blueberry glazed donut is so delicious and Again very fresh and I've been there lately night and early afternoon times when the donuts shouldn't be so fresh but not at Top Donuts it seems no matter what time of day they are always fresh. If you want a delicious donut come to Top Donuts!“

“I'm a fan of both locations, but Gardena has my heart. Everyone is kind and the line moves quickly. It's a smaller location with better parking.

Favorites include Chocolate chews, oatmeal raisins, and bear claws.

Go for the special cookie deal where you buy 5 cookies and get 1 for free.

Did I mention the heart of the bakery is the people? Seriously, my heart smiles every time I leave with bags filled with boxes of sweets to share with my friends, family, and my very own belly.

Thank you for being one of my favorite places to grab a treat. It makes a long drive worth the journey filled with smiles.“

“The best cake 🎂 experience you can have , to a time long gone were mom would make a birthday cake from scratch ,reminiscing the 1950’ cooking of good old Americana. Don’t missed the opportunity to taste the past in one bite !!!..“

“The tres leches cake is absolutely delicious—moist, perfectly sweet, and fresh. You can really taste the quality, and the price is very affordable for how good it is. Definitely one of the best spots in Torrance for tres leches cake. Highly recommend!“

“Starbread Bakery in Carson has the most delicious Señorita Bread — truly one of a kind! It’s perfect with a nice hot coffee. I always buy a box for my customers and it’s been a total hit. Everyone who tries it wants to know where this amazing place is! I’ve never been happier to share something that brings so many smiles. Thank you for making such wonderful Señorita Bread! 💜💜💜💜💜💜👍🏼👍🏼“

“This cake is absolutely the best treat your taste buds can experience!!! I have never had cake with alcohol in it and the alcohol not be overbearing or overwhelming aka JUST TOO MUCH!!! The alcohol cakes here are flawless with the flavors and not overwhelming at all! On top of that the customer service is absolutely fabulous and good customer service is so hard to find these days especially after covid but the cake buzz staff really makes you and your business feel valued! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“Very small bakery that is known for their home style cakes... not sweet AT ALL.. and their fruit always taste fresh. They always present very serious but they try their best to accommodate your request. No place to sit indoors and prices are reasonable.“

“Such a great bakery! I had picked up a cake for my birthday yesterday they had a lovely Mocha flavor that tasted so good! It made my birthday a great experience by stopping by over here! 😁

Also the morning staff is very friendly as well if you want to enjoy a nice relaxed morning in a quiet area this is very nice to stop by :)“

“9 out of 10 times, these are the best churros in the South Bay. They do one thing and do it well. They offer caramel and strawberry dipping sauces and are always friendly.“

“fresh croissants are so good, I always come back for more! 🤩😋“

“I love this bakery and the amazing team behind it. Sherry, Hansen, and Josh are fantastic—they always greet you with a smile and the best energy.

Sherry’s pastries are 10/10 delicious. The bagels are to die for! Everything is freshly made, and you can absolutely taste the difference. If you’re looking for coffee, the CB2 cold brew is my favorite, and their lattes are great as well.

Chef’s kiss. Great pastries and coffee.“

“A small neighborhood Mexican Panaderia. Very nice people and lovely traditional Pan Dulce. They also have various Breakfast sandwiches, egg with chorizo, potatoes with chorizo well from what I remember. The owner is a loving older lady extremely nice. Makes you feel as if she's your Aguelita.“

“I love buying custom cakes frm Maggy. She is always very detailed, easy to talk to and makes the best cakes. Everyone loves them,she did my daughters birthday cake and I called her last minute. She went beyond my expectations for sure. She made another amazing cake which was yellow cake with Chocolate Ganache. As you can see we have enjoyed the cake. It was Inspired by the Holidays and she went above and beyond. Don’t hesitate to call her for your cake needs. She makes very delicious cakes, and they all are very unique.Thank you Maggy.“

“These heart cookies with the pink frosting were literally my lifeblood in the early 2000s as a young chimp running around the AMS Elementary School.I came back here for the first time in a minute this weekend, now a full grown orangutan, and can confirm these heart cookies with the pink frosting ($1.50) are still literal crack cocaine. I really don't even mess with frosting on cookies usually, but Becker's is just different.I paired an americano with my cookie, as they now have a Hi-Fi Espresso in here which I think slangs some of the best espresso around. It makes me feel like I'm in Europe idk how else to describe it.I almost bought a shirt, but I have SO many shirts already so I opted against it. However, when I was doing my due diligence for this review a sense of regret shot through my spine like it was an epidural when I saw Beckers has been around since 1942. I had NO idea that Beckers has been around since Joseph Stalin was the Time Magazine Person of the Year. Still so crazy he was Time's Person of the Year.......The business is still in the family after 3 generations (Shoutout to the OG Harry Becker for kicking it off), which really makes me want to go back and buy a shirt. I love places passed from generation to generation. No wonder these heart cookies with the pink frosting still taste exactly the same as they did when I was just a little chimp.Some free game for y'all, if you go to someone's party in Manhattan Beach and they don't have a box of Becker's cookies, they are a big fat phony..... ahaha I'm playin but actually OGs will always have a box of Beckers for a function.I should mention that they also have a deli here that people love, but I've really only ever been here for the cookies. You know why I'm here.As the money and botox continues to move into Manhattan Beach, this is one of the 5 or 6 places left keeping the soul of what I knew as a small local beach town alive.THANK YOU BECKERS NEVER SWITCH UP! I'M COMIN BACK FOR THE SHIRT!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__“

“Bossy Bundts reached out to me to share that for the holiday season she'd be using a gift box I designed as her keepsake. In our exchange, I saw all the beautiful sweets and goodies she makes and she was so generous as to send me a cake to try! Even though it came from all the across the US, her bundt cake was so soft, and so moist, and the flavor was just so right, that the cake didn't survive the photo I planned to take of it, because by then it had been eaten lol. From the one cake I tried, which was the coconut one, I am a fan. and I look forward to ordering to try some of the other flavors that other reviewers have recommended. Thank you Bossy Bundts! With love, Bea“
