17 Best Bakeries in Santa Monica

“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!!“

“What a fantastic gem. Lovely place, friendly service, fantastic breads. Would I do a 30 min detour just to eat here (mandatory in my rating scheme to achieve five stars: oh yes! Can't wait to go again and enjoy their back patio in the sunset hours.“

“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.“

“Visited multiple times during our stay in Santa Monica. The donuts are delicious. It’s no frills, definitely not one of these new fancy donut shops. But the donuts are simple, tasty and reasonably priced ($10 for a half dozen). The folks working behind the counter were very friendly and helpful.“

“Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. A special thank you to our server, who was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Great service and great food — we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

And big plus to David our server“

“I have been looking for the best gluten free bagels for years. Finally found it! Thank you Modern Bagel!“

“Julian is the best. He's genuine. His products have the finest ingredients and he really leans into quality vs. just dumping in a ton of sugar. His treats taste delicious because he's an exceptional baker who cares about quality.I routinely visit him on Saturdays (Pico Farmer's Market) with my family and we all enjoy a special treat. We also hired him to make cupcakes & banana bread for my daughters birthday party. They were all gobbled up in mere minutes :)“

“This is one of my professors’ favorite places to get Portuguese egg tarts, so obviously my friends and I needed to check it out. I can see why he loves it — the egg tarts are very custardy and rich, with a lightly eggy flavor but the sweetness from heavy cream in each bite contrasting to the flaky crust.

We also got the red velvet cheesecake, which was pretty standard. The strawberry and cream cookie was massive and I loved the strawberry flavor! It was a little too sweet for me but for the average American palette is probably perfect.

There’s a parking lot but pretty limited seating (that gets a lot of sun), so plan on taking it to go unless you want to casually borrow a table next door…“

“Se você quer uma avaliação em inglês para a unidade de Santa Monica, pode usar esta:

I had a fantastic experience at Chaumont in Santa Monica. The pastries were fresh, beautifully presented, and full of authentic French flavor. The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery, and the coffee was excellent. I also appreciated the variety of vegan options available, which makes the bakery welcoming for everyone. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout my visit. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or a quick coffee and pastry, this is a wonderful spot that I highly recommend.“

“A small but tasty boba shop in a sleepier part of Santa Monica. They don’t have as large of a menu as Boba Time nor do they have as many tea flavors as Sunright but overall they do have some good options and also some good optional drink additions. Inside is very small and there was only one attendant working when we arrived Sunday night for a sweet treat after dinner. They don’t have a parking lot but street parking is easy to find in this part of town. The menu is not very large, but everything that we ordered was made pretty quickly, and the attendant was very polite, and I feel that she was also welcoming.

For my first time I chose the Brown Sugar Crème Brûlée Black Tea with boba and added egg pudding, which is one of my favorite flavor combinations. The flavors were very good, not the best I’ve had in town, but still really hit the spot. They only have two drink sizes available, but I wish they would offer a slightly larger size than the one that they currently offer. Overall I would recommend and I plan to try again next time I am close by.

Parking: metered street parking only“
