50 Best Bakeries near Signal Hill

“I've eaten a lot of donuts, but never any better than at Foster's. The maple and chocolate bars are especially good. I always get a wide variety and every item is delicious. The service is great and the prices are unbeatable!“

“We chose to have Rossmoor Pastries make our wedding cake and it was the perfect choice! At the cake tasting, the staff were so kind, helpful, and easy to work with and the cake was just so delicious that it was an easy choice to pick them. Communicating our vision through email was easy and they were so accommodating after we changed our design a few times. The day of, when the cake was delivered, I was immediately impressed with how they brought our vision to life! Our guests complimented on how the blueberry filling was a yummy, unique choice. I would definitely recommend working with them!“

“Extraordinary bakery on 6th & Ohio! Organic! Vegan! Delicious and a kind staff. Thank you Guadalupe for your guidance.“

“Porto’s is always a great spot for sweets, especially their birthday cakes, which are some of the best. The food is also very tasty, and I really enjoy their coffee because it’s always well made. The service is very attentive and friendly. The only downside is that it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends when the lines are long.“

“recommended to me — I wasn’t disappointed. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but it moved quickly and the staff were helpful, even with all the hustle. The ordering process was super easy, and the space felt clean and welcoming.

The cookies themselves? Genuinely excellent. Big, warm, and packed with flavour — definitely lived up to the hype. I tried a couple of the weekly specials and would’ve gone back again if I’d had more time in Downey.

Nice stop if you’re travelling and want something sweet (or very American!). Great location too — easy to find and plenty of parking nearby, but we walked as hoteled in the local area“

“They BEST Bread around Been coming since I was a little girl 55 yrs and thank you for always giving me a calendar“

“I came down for the weekend from Bay Area to see family and found this lovely bakery. I have lived in some major food hubs but this is the best Olive Bread I have ever tasted!!! It was so fresh and they do not skimp on the olives like some bakeries. The staff was also quite welcoming. Please open a shop in the East Bay!!“

“I live two blocks away and this bakery has single-handedly destroyed my self-control in the BEST way possible. The brownie bites (pandan, strawberry, ube-Oreo) are life-changing. I buy a box thinking “I’ll save some for later” and then 45 minutes later they’re gone and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.
These brownies are pure joy. Serotonin in dessert form. When they closed for a week after the holidays, I experienced real emotional damage.

I would take a master class, but honestly it’s safer for society if I don’t learn because I would simply become a brownie.

Also the iced vanilla oatmeal cookie? Elite. Legendary. The bomb dot com.

11/10. Five stars. Would happily lose all control again.

P.S. They’re very cute but unfortunately do not survive long enough for photos.“

“best food in Cali ,love it 😋..Ouaa“

“Crumbl Cookies is dessert happiness in a pink box.

The weekly rotating flavors keep things exciting, but even their classic chocolate chip is everything you want in a cookie—gooey center, crispy edges, and just the right amount of chocolate.

The shop is clean and bright, and the staff is always friendly and quick.

You can’t help but smile walking out with that iconic pink box.

Perfect for a sweet pick‑me‑up or sharing (if you’re generous enough to share!).“

“I absolutely love your Pastries, the Vanilla Oat Milk was a recommendation from one of the workers and it was a hit!“

“Food here is outstanding! We picked our food to go for an impromptu picnic at the park and enjoyed eveything. The carbonara was a knock out, very rich and decadent. All the pastries were yum, but the morning bun was our favorite. And the sandwiches are so well constructed with bread that was obviously baked fresh.

Only thing ill say is the patio is not good for large parties so if you intend to dine in, the seating there it ideal for parties of 2 or 4.“

“Such a great find! The egg salad sandwich was very reasonably priced and tasted super fresh, honestly really good. We also tried one of their strawberry cakes and loved it. It wasn’t overly sweet at all, tasted incredibly fresh, and was loaded with strawberries. What really surprised me was the price, almost half of what you’d pay at Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours for the same quality (if not better). All of the pastries tasted homemade, fresh, and perfectly balanced, not overly sugary. Definitely coming back!“

“the product is not one to pass up and the owner is a fantastic person.“

“What a special place. We ordered a cinnamon roll cake for my son's 6th birthday and it was absolutely incredible. Ken worked on the cake and he was so kind and helpful. He let me know that they were out of bananas and asked if I wanted to replace them with chocolate chip banana bread. That banana bread was so soft, spongy, and delicious. This is our go-to place for desserts.“

“Try to get something new every time and always always delicious and no regrets“

“donuts are always Fresh n good“

“This bakery is right across from a muffler shop where we had some work done. The two pastries I had were excellent-one savory (spinach mushroom) and one sweet (apple goat cheese). Both were still warm from the oven that morning. Very friendly people there!“

“Best bread for sure !!! You choose the bread yourself no one picks it for you as I read in the prior comment 🙄. It’s hard to find parking because of how many people come to this place but customer service is great so you don’t wait for long parking space will be available soon.Definitely recommend this place you won’t regret it !!“

“Good bagels at this place“

“Great selection of gluten and dairy free treats! Only a handful of items had dairy so I had many options. The lemon bar was my favorite - tasted just like a “normal” lemon bar, delicious. Carrot cake cupcake had a strange flavor and was dry; cinnamon roll was also on the drier side. Chocolate cake was good, much better heated up! Would go back to try other things.“

“I absolutely love this bakery! It's one of the few places where my daughter, who has egg and nut allergies, can safely enjoy delicious treats. It means so much to us to have a spot that celebrates our culture and lets my daughter feel included as she enjoys a fresh pastry in the morning. The young woman who assisted us was incredibly kind, and we can't wait to come back!“

“My favorite place for cookies, Renee and her staff are absolute sweethearts!“

“Yummy everything is delicious“

“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.“

“Great bakery! Good prices, very clean. Goods are creative too!“

“OH MY GOSH !!
That banana pudding ?!
Those strawberry macadamia nut cookies ?
That banana pudding tho !!! 100/10 !! I’m overly obsessed. I’ve had it sitting in my fridge for 4 days and it was AMAZING !!! I can’t wait to buy more !!“

“HOW I GOT BACK MY HUSBAND I am sharing this testimony to partners suffering in their relationships because there is an enduring solution. My husband left me and our 2 kids for another woman for 3 years. I tried to be strong just for my kids but I could not control the pains that torment my heart. I was hurt and confused. I needed a help, so i did a research on the internet and came across a site where I saw that Dr Ozole spell caster, can help get my lovers back. I contacted him and he did a special prayer and spells for me. To my surprises, after some days, my husband came back home. That was how we reunited again and there was a lot of love, joy and peace in the family. You can as well contact Dr. Ozole , a powerful spell-caster for solutions on his page today #drozolespellhome“

“Dec 2025: I attended the event: What’s Up Crew and Papa Churros donated a ton of freshly made and very warm churros- It was live at first bite!!! Supports community and makes delicious pastries- I’m definitely recommending this place to everyone. I will be placing a holiday order there soon.“

“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.“

“Susy did an amazing job on my mom’s birthday cake. She was able to create an exact replica of the
reference photo that I gave her. The cake was also so good and moist and everyone at the party loved it. There was a little hiccup on our end where one of the letters got damaged in transport and Susy was able to replace it last minute before the party started. Overall a great experience and I would use her again if I need a cake in Long Beach.“

“The best keto bakery and fermented goods (ultra-probiotic) in LA country. Since discovering Damon's kimchi and sour krout, I discovered what a truly healthy digestive system is. Ilkay's baked goods are amazing. Try the scones or decadent (healthy) deserts, you will be impressed. You can also get their products at the Marina farmer's market on Sundays.“

“Best cinnamon rolls ever and I loved it!“

“Delicious and old fashioned bakery hard to find anymore!“

“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.“

Chunks of fresh potatoes, light cream and fluffy overall. Seriously DELICIOUS 🤤

“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! 💜💜💜💜💜💜👍🏼👍🏼“

“mejor panadería que Bimbo100×100%“

“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 tasted one of Caramel pecan praline cookies, and the soft chewy caramel just hit the spot. These are sinful!“

“My husband and I had sweet traders provide a small cutting cake and dessert station for our wedding of 160+ guests. Working with them was extremely simple and the desserts were amazing! We did a quick cake tasting to pick our small cake and were able to taste some of the desserts for our dessert station. They had a ton of options, so it was hard to narrow it down because they were all so good! I received so many compliments about the dessert on our wedding day and they portioned everything really well. We even had some left overs which we were able to share with family and bring home after the wedding! We were also able to rent a cake stand, dessert stands and were are so glad we did because the arrangements were beautifully displayed and we didn’t even have to think about it on our wedding day. Sweet Traders even includes an anniversary cake and we are so looking forward to it next year! I couldn’t recommend Sweet Traders more and know that you will be in the best hands. With so much love, a very happy bride/newlywed :) <3“
