50 Best Bakeries near Toluca Lake

“The blackberry crunch toast was amazing. Great service, friendly staff & nice location.“

“I recently found this Vegan bakery, and I loved it! They have a good variety of pan dulce. They also have very good vegan tamales. I fully recommend this place.“

“🎃🍬 Sweet Tooth Candy is the best! 🍬🎃 I just got my order, and I’m obsessed! The Halloween Mystery Bag was such a fun surprise — everything inside was super tasty and perfectly spooky for the season. The gummy ring assortment was fresh, flavorful, and so addictive! Shipping was really fast, and everything arrived in perfect condition. You can tell they put a lot of care into their products and packaging. I seriously can’t wait to try the melting chocolate and make some delicious treats this holiday season! 🍫✨ Highly recommend Sweet Tooth Candy if you love fun, festive, and high-quality sweets! 💜“

“I had been wanting to come here for a long time and try the gluten free birthday cake. It did not disappoint!“

“Alex was super helpful with two large orders I had. The bread is absolutely fantastic and my clients raved about the quality.

I also just have to say, people complaining about prices and leaving one star reviews is WILD. Don’t like the prices? Don’t shop but don’t leave one star reviews…sheesh.“

“Creative take on traditional pastries and exceptional classics! Love the fun flavors, but a sucker for their classic chocolate croissant. The cookies are also sooo good, you’ll need to take home at least 3. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.“

“I love ordering their birthday cake for my son and his family in taxes. They liked and enjoyed everything I ordered from Porto’s bakery.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The cinnamon rolls are outstanding — perfectly soft, buttery, and not overly sweet. The scones are excellent as well, and the cookies are honestly some of the best I’ve had in a long time.

What really makes the experience even better is the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind.

If you’re in Santa Monica and enjoy great pastries, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back for those cinnamon rolls!“

“The best vegan baked goods around town! I had the cornbread, almond cookie (gluten free), chocolate chip (gluten free), and Armenian pizza with a mixed tea. So good!“

“Never had a bad cookie here. I love how creative and simple their offerings are each month. For a small bake shop everything is crafted with love, from the decor of the shop, to the packaging, down to the fresh ingredients in each cookie. The Cheeto cookie got me hooked and I'll keep comitback for more!“

“Hidden coffee and pastry gem in the Heart of Beverly Hills. Definitely a great date spot 🤫 Do not miss the chance to visit if you are a tourist 😋 For locals try their Salmon Bagel reminds me of New York 🗽
P.S. also they have luxury and bougie cakes 🤪“

“Great place for Pastries.“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“The best cookies you will find in all of Los Angeles. Creative flavors, quality ingredients, and made by the best people around. Highly recommend“

“One of the best pain au chocolat and butter croissants I’ve ever had! Soft, buttery, and perfectly flaky. I’m not kidding when I say every bite literally makes you close your eyes, it’s that good!

Des Croissants Paris is a small boulangerie and patisserie you’ll find yourself coming back to over and over again. The service is great, and the warm, cozy ambiance is made even better by the aroma of the butter croissants. Everything looks amazing, but my absolute favorites are the croissant and the pain au chocolat. I’ve finally found my go-to croissant spot, and I can’t wait to return again and again.“

“They have very good pastries, bánh my and moon cake“

“I was looking for the bakery shops for a while who can make custom cake the way I wanted to. After spending time searching for cake makers, I found Flouring Cake Shop on Instagram. They said they could make my cake without any problem. And look what a work of art they created. I recommend everyone order a custom cake from them at least once. Thank you, guys, for the amazing work.“

“First of all, let's start out saying that this place is across the street from my house dangerous because you walk into this bakery and the vibe is so Sweet and delicious. The young lady is beautiful on the outside as well as in the inside and her cookies and everything else. Oh my gosh you guys if you like cookies delicious soft just exquisite then this is the place to be also remember, she doesn't take cash which is kind of cool for her. I congratulate you young lady LA deserves to know about you honey.“

“Amazing bakery! We stopped by for pastries and coffee, and both were outstanding. The kouign-amann was perfectly buttery and caramelized with just the right balance of crisp and soft layers, and the cappuccino was smooth, rich, and expertly made. Great quality, cozy vibe, and friendly service. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to!“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“Enjoyed our breakfast, very friendly staff, large portions, homemade bread and excellent service!“

“My toddler son and I found Modern Bite one day a few months ago, and we tried a free sample Buzz Lightyear cookie that we just loved so much! We just ordered 3-dozen custom designed cookies for his 4th birthday, and they're adorable and delicious and they rushed our order to make it all possible in time for pre-school. Really great customer service and product. We are quite pleased <3.“

“Excellent place for all bakery products. This always a queue, soliciting the lovely Brazil. I loved the big Sangki bread and the Banana Bread. The hummus and yoghurt dip, what's awesome? It's her secret recipe for over the years. I heard conversations where the third generation had come to buy from the bakery. It is an excellent place to have your morning breakfast and start the day with an excellent taste combined with health. Reasonable prices great value for money“

“Also, Price points amazing.“

“I popped into Baked Bar on Washington Blvd in Culver City..Best decision I could have made! Not only was the food amazing but the service was equally amazing!!!
My new favorite bakery.
I went in for a cup of coffee…but ended up getting a cup of dreamy camomile tea, a 1/2 loaf of roasted garlic sour dough, a melt in your mouth bacon breakfast sandwich, and 2 Vegan chocolate chip cookies for my kids! What a haul!!
I love ❤️😘 this place!!“

“The smell of fresh bread 🥖 walking in is so inviting! Even though I choose the self serve kick option they still made the effort to try to help me with my order. Super rare to see that level of attention. Came in just before the crowd . Got the ever croissant sandwich- made to perfection.

The pastry and dessert options definitely worth trying one of each oh yeah, and that I mentioned the prices are super affordable“

“Sweet bakery filled with goodies and Armenian favorites, fresh Barbari, Ajarski (breakfast boat), and Lahmajun (Armenian pizza)! 😁👌“

“Omelete sandwich and beet salad were delicious. Berry lemonade was refreshing. Pastries are divine.“

“Was almost lost when trying to find the outlet since it's located in a plaza that might not be visible if you're by the road side. Worry not about parking at the plaza since they apparently validated parking (yep! plus point for sure).

The gorgeously designed outlet only served grab and go since there's no seating on the spot. There were some outdoor benches at the center of the plaza though if you just couldn't wait to enjoy the goodies.

They offered bunch of sweets from Canele, Madeleine, Financier, Cookies, Cheesecake, and more; all of which did come in multiple flavors. So yeah, be prepared to be indecisive in front of the showcase. They were super helpful though in assisting you making your choices by recommending the favorite ones. It was nice that the price was decent enough for LA standard, so you could definitely opt for more than one or a couple.

For my initial visit, I started with the Ube Financier, which was kept in the chiller, maybe due to the cream on top. It came in spongy yet not too airy texture with luscious ube cream topping. It was decent, but not really my top choice. My second was their Earl Grey Milk Chocolate Tigre, which was basically buttery cake kinda similar to financier IMO, with milk chocolate ganache at the center. I definitely loved this more than the financier, especially the combo of earl grey and milk chocolate which to my surprise was awesome and helped balancing the taste to be not overly sweet. Another one I tried was their thick salted chocolate chip cookies, which decadently had crispy edge though I wish being more gooey inside as it's tad dry. Nonetheless, flavor wise I felt like classic chocolate chip with a sprinkle of sea salt indeed never failed. The creme de la creme, however, was certainly their canele which I was beyond thrilled to finally find in LA. I had my favorite one in London which I thought unbeatable, and it's impressive that LA now had something comparable to satisfy the craving without having to fly over 5K miles away. It flawlessly had that crispy coating, moist center, and just the right sweetness level. I surely made the right choice going with matcha as Brown Bag definitely elevated the overall taste with this matcha flavor and that matcha cream top. It was no brainer that their canele is NEVER TO BE MISSED if you ever paid Brown Bag a visit.“

“First time studying in this gem. Will definitely be returning! Not only do they have great coffee, yummy pastries, good study space, but overall great customer service. Johnny made it easy to navigate the menu and very attentive to ensuring my study experience went well“

“💖 We were just talking about how PERFECT your cupcakes are! The sweetness ratio is absolutely idyllic because the sugar does not overpower the gorgeous flavor. Worth every penny!!! 🧁“

“I think this German coffee shop is very charming. It’s worth stopping by here and try the pastries, especially the Berliner. You might get addicted, they’re incredibly delicious! Overall, it’s a lovely coffee shop with great customer service.“

“This bakery is a regular lunch spot for me, and it never disappoints. The portions are reasonable, the prices are great, and the staff is always kind and helpful. Don’t leave without trying the tahini cookies—they’re absolutely amazing.“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“Loved this place AMAZING service with the friendliest staff and the food was delicious reminded me of real home cooking I also had the vegan options Delicious delicious and delicious“

“Absolutely love this place. It’s so cute and feels like home like being in Armenia. The food is made with so much heart that it feels like medicine for the body. You can truly feel the kind energy of the people cooking. Wishing them continued success!“

“Great local place for breakfast and lunch with tasty baked goods!😄“

“I went to this place because it's a popular spot for the trendy Dubai-style chewy cookies. The cookies were indeed chewy and had a nice crunch from the shredded phyllo dough. They were very small, but the price was outrageously expensive at $8 compared to other donuts. I tried it once, but I wouldn't pay $8 for it again, even though it tasted good. The staff were friendly, though.“

“Finally I felt like hometown! Everything tastes amazing! Real homemade foods! 1000000% recommending!!!“

“Best cake place!!! Every occasion I order from here! Hands down my favorite cake place. Been coming to this bakery for years. Wouldn't change to another place. When I take a cake from here to a gathering they end up loving the cake, it’s just perfect.“

“Whenever I'm in Little Tokyo, I come here for the yummy fresh breads. The melon pan is like a Mexican concha, but with the sugary topping on top. The bread is so soft. Goes pretty well with some coffee. The Green Tea Roll Cake was delicious. It is a light, fluffy sponge cake flavored with Japanese matcha green tea powder, rolled into a cylinder, and filled with sweet cream. I also love getting the steam buns. I love getting the An Man, which is a sweet red bean. The taco man, which is beef and veggies, and the curry man, which is chicken and veggies. I highly recommend it if you're in Little Tokyo. The service is excellent.“

“**A sweet slice of heaven in Santa Monica!** Junior Cookies is an absolute *gem*. I came in for the cookies (which are AMAZING – warm, gooey, and perfectly crisp on the edges), but I stayed for the whole vibe. Their ice cream is ultra creamy with rich, dreamy flavors that pair perfectly with the cookies—highly recommend making your own cookie cream with ice cream with cookies! I was also pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee is. It’s bold, smooth, and just what I needed to balance out the sugar rush. Honestly, it’s rare to find a cookie shop where the coffee actually stands out, but Junior Cookies gets it right. Best coffee, best cookies, best matcha, and best ice cream in la! The place is super cute inside, with a cozy neighborhood feel and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. You can tell everything is made with love. The cookies and recipes are unique. 5 star bakery in LA. If you're in Santa Monica, **don’t miss this spot**. Whether you’re craving dessert, a caffeine fix, or just want to treat yourself, Junior Cookies delivers!“

“If you’re looking for an allergy-friendly bakery, this is well worth the visit! We’re visiting from out of town and I just wish there was a place as just as careful as back home. I got really excited and got almost one of everything. There’s a small counter for sitting and eating. These were the first allergen free cupcakes I’ve eaten that don’t taste a little weird, which was so refreshing and exciting. Fun innovative flavors as well 💕“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“Everything I ever had from Vienna Pastry is beyond delicious. The staff is wonderful. My favorite cookie in the entire world is made by this fabulous bakery. I live in PA and I never make a trip to CA without several stops at Vienna Pastry. The owner, Jaleh Rahban, is one of the kindest ladies I have ever met. I recommend this shop to everyone. Jane Dornsife“

“The food is so high quality and the bagels are perfect. Can’t forget about that beautiful bacon. It melts in your mouth. It’s also a great atmosphere and food arrives fast. This is a must go again for me. 100 percent recommended by me!🤤👍“

“Family owned, amazing history, delicious borek. My favorite is the spicy cheese—it’s not really spicy but flavorful!“

“amazing mochi!!! don't forget to check out their seasonal flavor“

“Hi Bakery is a true gem in LA—a bakery and coffee spot that turns pastries into edible art. I’m so grateful for places like this that honor ancient fermentation methods with the absolute best, time-honored ingredients, including ancient grains that are stone ground and far more expensive than the commercial or conventional flour used by 99% of other bakeries. They could easily opt for the cheap stuff, but instead, they choose these premium ingredients to keep us healthy. Every bite feels nourishing and light; you walk away feeling energized and good, never groggy, bloated, or overly full. For the gluten-free people (by preference, not allergic/celiac folks), give this a chance—you’ll be so happy to have real pastries again! It’s a testament to the passion and care of the people behind it. There’s simply no other spot like Hi Bakery; thank you for existing!“
