50 Best Bakeries near Sierra Madre

“Anita’s cake is perfect in every way, even though I am not a big fan of sesame flavor cake but I have to say she has her magic way to make all ingredients blend in beautifully. This matcha sesame mousse cake is so soft and so smooth, u can taste the matcha and the sesame with the right amount of sweetness. This is the second cake I tried from her, her Earl gray cake is definitely heavenly and a must try. Her cakes are simply fantastic. Would want to try more.“

“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.“

“A great bakery, full of yummy baked items, prepared meals to go, breads to take home, sandwiches, salads and yummy desserts. I always stop here when I'm in the Sierra Madre area. They offer baked breads and prepared entries. Prices are a bit high, but worth every penny.“

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

“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!"“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Just amazing...this stuff is so beautiful I almost didn't want to eat it! But I did, haha, and it was great! I love that there is so much variety, from cookies to cakes, and the owner is such a sweet person! I'll definitely keep them in mind for my birthday when it rolls around in August. Keep up the good work!“

“Great small cake shop that has unique flavors!“

“I’ve been coming to this location for years, and it never disappoints! My mom, who never likes sweets, actually approves of their cakes—and that’s saying a lot. Both the vanilla and chocolate flavors are moist, delicious, and full of flavor—not dry at all.

The fresh fruit topping is another standout—you can choose more than one! My mom’s favorite combo is peach and strawberry. We usually go with the almond sides and ask for less filling, which they’re happy to accommodate.

These cakes are perfect for any occasion—or even just when you’re craving a good slice of cake. Speaking of which, I just found out they now sell cake by the slice (love this!), and they’ve also added fruit drinks and milk tea to their menu!

My most recent order was a cake for 25 people for only $55—absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!“

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

“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!“

“One of the best local bakery and a very friendly girl with the softest voice at the cashier. Had to wait a few more minutes in the morning due to their bakery truck barely on time, but definitely worth the time just chilling at the table inside the store, that extra 10min felt like a breeze, though a few customers came in just to leave lol Great experience there and would definitely go again, even if have to wait again :D“

“This place came to the rescue!!! The wedding cake I had made fell over on the long drive. It was a disaster!! Other bakeries near the wedding venue were already closed and others needed at least 48 hour notice… the wedding was happening NOW. I called Sonora Bakery in my final desperate attempt, explained the situation, sent them a picture of the cake and within minutes, they got to work. The cake was delicious and the wedding was saved. Thank you Sonora Bakery…. You have a customer for life!“

“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.“

“Best donut shop in the area, hands down.
Donuts are super light and airy, they do not live you feeling super full and they are also not super sweet. Prices are also very reasonable.
We tried the breakfast sandwiches as well which and they were super delicious and filling. If you are hungry hungry I would recommend you get one.
The thai teas are nice too, I really liked the orange one.
Staff is also super friendly and will tell you about all their menu items as well as make recommendations.
Highly recommend you go check out BC Donuts if you are in the area!“

“The bakery and tamales are delicious!!!“

“I stopped at this place every afternoon and evening time during my stay. The fruit teas are incredibly good. The Hong Kong Style was my favorite.

Also her homemade tarts were phenomenal. Got lucky and had a few different ones and each ones was wicked good. Highly recommend to anyone in the area for an afternoon drink or little sweet treat.“

“just a wonderful place my favorite spot“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“los mejores pasteles ♥️♥️♥️ deliciosos“

“Great food �“

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

“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.“

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

“This restaurant is MOSTLY VEGAN. A few items do have egg or dairy milk, but they are easily swapped for plant based options. This place uses fresh ingredients and makes creative dishes. I wish my tummy was big enough to eat one of everything! I got the chilaquiles and a "dirty"chai latte (dirty means it has an extra espresso shot). I don't live near by, so I'm not going to be able to visit often. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-26“

“Today I had a very bad experience, I went in the afternoon to buy bread and then the saleswoman received a call on her cell phone and she was going and she was coming and she didn't answer me and she didn't tell me to wait for her either, I thought I was going to get some attention with me for the wait and nothing, then when I saw that he was not going to attend to me I told him that I no longer wanted the bread (I still thought that by telling him that he was going to tell me that he was going to attend to me) and nothing told me that it was okay , and continued talking on the phone. I'm very sorry for this. Every time I have gone to buy bread here they have treated me well except today.“

“Absolutely delicious! Can’t go wrong with SusieCakes. Chocolate cake is my all time favorite. Perfect for chocolate lovers. This time I ordered a slice of celebration cake and did not disappoint. Very moist and the flavor was just right.
They also offer a variety of cupcakes.
Jaimie helped me out. Very nice and even offered us to try a different flavor cake.
Customer service A+
Store is clean. Cake display simple and clean.“

“The food is 5 stars the service is 5 stars I love it prices are very fsir“

“Asian bakeries are amazing me since I discovered them. Good quality pastry; cakes; good tea; polite staff. Good pricing. Check this place out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

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

“i called in and was able to order a
cake for same day pickup. the worker was extremely nice on the phone and when we arrived at the bakery. we ordered a black sesame cake for the new year and it was so delicious and came with a cake topper! not too sweet and the sesame taste was nutty and fragrant! would definitely order again! my family really enjoyed it :)“

“I came here for the ZZZ collab and was very impressed with the food quality and service. Despite being a very busy day, both employees were so hard-working and efficient, while still being helpful and courteous. They are generous with the cream fillings here (which I love!), and all the flavors we had were delicious - fresh, light, balanced, not too sweet. I would love to visit again. Highly recommend.“

“This establishment is Very clean & neat.
First time trying Japanese style cheesecake & Omgee it was amazing.
They had a tester one available and gosh it was amazing.
I ordered the original Japanese style cheesecake & Iced Brown Sugar latte with Salted cheese foam
(To be completely honest the latte isn’t anything unique or special.
Taste was blend for me.
BUT the cheese, very delicious.
I did have to wait an additional 10 mins or so for the cheesecake because it wasn’t ready & the logo machine wasn’t ready for a press so my Cheesecake has no logo / design.
I was offered a discount due to the inconvenience but didn’t receive it (lol)

The packaging is just beautiful, great quality🤍

Overall I will be coming back for the other cheesecake flavors.
(& hopefully I receive the discount I was promised LOL)“

“Modern, clean cafe with yummy Asian inspired treats. We got their chocolate mochi brownie, miso cinnamon roll, and cream bun.

All were delicious, but the mochi brownie was our favorite. The miso perfectly complements the cinnamon roll and the roll still tastes sweet. The cream bun was so soft and not too sweet.

Street parking available nearby. Cafe has good seating, high ceilings, and modern decor.“

“The best breakfast I've had in a while. Super fresh and tasty. Super friendly staff, convenient location, street parking and parking lot in the back. Lots of really delicious stuff to choose from. And don't get me started on their pastries! It's an experience of it own. Great coffee. Non-dairy milk variety is available. Reasonable prices. Loved it!“

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

“It was my first time here, and this place was pretty busy. A lot of people were picking up cakes and buying cakes like the mango cake that was freshly made.
It's not too big on the inside, and there was only one lady who was helping everyone. They had a special going on, but 5 get one free.
I purchased a bunch of snacks for me and the family. One of my favorites is the pineapple cookie, which has actual pineapple on the inside. They had sponge cakes and peanut/ sesame candy. They also had bbq bun, which is always a go-to. They also had a mochi walnut cake that was delicious.“

“I accidentally found a bakery and bought some bread. Some of the bread was delicious, but some of the bread was a bit dry. But I might buy it again. I want to try all of them and I should find the one I like best. There are also some drinks for sale inside, but they are paid separately. Maybe they are just partners sharing some expenses. I think this is a good idea.“

“she's super Friendly came in today for her Pokémon Conchitas 😍 Beautiful & Delicious!“

“everything because i worked there and i made everything .. everything Is freshly made everyday .. ITS the BEST .. ill back one day“

“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 placed a last-minute order on sunday 5/4 for monday 5/5 and tuesday 5/6 full sheet cakes. And they were very accommodating. Not only that, but the cake was delicious!! Soft, moist, and not super sweet. Just like I like. My company loved it and asked where I found this gem of a bakery and where was it. 10/10 experience. Will for sure be ordering from here.“

“It taste good 👍 and it tastes good too and it tastes great“

“The team at Renaud’s truly takes the cake , especially Matt (Matthew) . He consistently goes above and beyond to answer my many questions! and always asks if there’s anything else he can do to make sure I have a perfect cup of iced coffee! Matt loves his work and it’s palpable!! It’s remarkable how much positivity he brings to the bakery and I am truly grateful to be treated so amazingly no matter how small my purchase is! I never visit Pasadena without visiting this bakery and the reason is obvious ! The team is a true true delight each and every time . Dependable and they deliver EXCEPTIONAL customer service .“

“I always go to this place to order the giant donut! The service is great and the people are friendly. Whenever I tell them the donut is for a birthday, they hook it up and add donut holes in the middle to put the candle and an extra donut as a gift. ❤“

“I really despise when the restaurant is fairly empty and the host sits everyone in the same section. I’ve never worked in this industry so I'm not sure of the reasoning behind the practice. It always bothers me but today in particular because the groups of people who the host chose to seat by me were wearing the loudest perfumes/colognes that really assaulted my senses. I was dining alone and enjoying the quietude and there was still plenty of empty seats in other parts of the restaurant. Sigh… Next time I'll order take out.“
