The classic ones? Perfectly soft, gooey, and packed with that signature cinnamon goodness. The caramel and caramel pecan add this rich, buttery sweetness that makes them extra indulgent. The turtle flavor has that perfect combo of chocolate, caramel, and pecans—so good. And the Oreo ones? Absolute perfection for cookies and cream lovers!

They’re the perfect little bite-sized treats—great for sharing (if you’re feeling generous) or just snacking on throughout the day. If you’re a Cinnabon fan, you need to try this pack. 10/10!“

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

“Todo esta rico aun que una ves compre muchos para un evento y se desisieron“

“PRO TIP: go to Costco and get $100 DoorDash gift cards at 20% off, then use DoorDash pickup to order ahead at Jyan Isaac for no additional fee. Since you will end up spending $50-$200 here if you’re in Santa Monica for any amount of time, the savings are nice. Works out to one free full bagel gravlax with the works for every $100.“

“You’ll never know it’s vegan, and that’s the best part. These desserts are out of this world delicious.“

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

“Great place for Pastries.“

“My first Crème Brûlée doughnut was in Seoul Dunkin. I was not sure I'd ever taste one in US. Visiting from Chicago, I had to come here. I was happy to taste my fav doughnut again.
Small Korean bakery, delicious bakery items. I ordered classic and matcha Crème Brûlée. Wow.
Located inside Rodeo plaza!
Cute places to sit.“

“A very nice place with very tasty desserts, I tried the chocolate brownie with coconut flakes and I really liked it, it was not cloyingly sweet, which is very important for me. Very friendly and helpful staff, they helped me with my choice)) I will definitely come back here again!)“

“I love this pastry shop. The staff are very friendly and helped me decide what to order. I chose the krinkle and the raspberry pastry, and both were outstanding, with the raspberry pastry with a slight edge.

Definitely coming back here anytime I'm in the area.“

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

“I literally prayed for a place where I could enjoy the best coffee & pastries close to my new home to make my life more perfect. And I spotted this place within minutes. My plan is to try each item one day at a time and to be grateful for this answered prayer. It's the little things.“

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

“Can’t stop eating them!
Honestly, I didn’t expect them to be this good. Each cookie has its own vibe — some nutty, some soft and buttery, all super fresh. And the spot where I got them? Super clean and neat, which I really appreciate. You can tell they put love into everything. I’ve already recommended them to a couple friends!“

“Stopped by House of Bread in Westwood, a small but neat little bakery owned by a Persian woman. Tried their country sourdough, and overall, it was a good loaf. The crust had a nice crunch, and the aroma was spot on—earthy and inviting. The crumb, however, was a bit denser than expected, lacking the usual airy texture, and it leaned more on the chewy side. Still, the flavor was enjoyable, and it’s clear they use quality ingredients.

One suggestion for the owner: consider adding a bread slicer. It would make it much more convenient for customers who prefer pre-sliced loaves“

“Went here with a friend and was blown away (sounds cliche!) by the level of service I got from a place I wasn't destined to spend more than $10 at. The honestly polite cashier (manager, perhaps?) and her knowledge of all of the various cookies, their ingredients, and other particulars, made my day. Reminded me of how service used to be years ago. The cookies were very good, too, as were the samples I was given. I'd love to come back here when I'm in the area.

Dietary restrictions: Very good assortment of gluten-free cookies, along with conventional ones.“

“The workers are really nice, but this place is so overpriced and they charge for everything. If you get a bagel with cream cheese, they barely add any cream cheese and they charge you for extra. The coffee is small and it's at least $6. The bread is very good.“

“First thing I tried was Pumpkin Crumb Coffee
Cake that was really, really, really good. I gave it five stars. It was made perfect. … the second thing I tried. Belgian Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies I love chocolate chip cookies, and these were made perfect … I should’ve took a picture of the chocolate chip cookie, but I couldn’t resist myself when I got in my car. I ate it right away. But thank you guys keep up the great work. ….. customer service was amazing thank you Donna. I am definitely coming back. It was a great atmosphere when I walked in shop was super clean … I gave you A +“

“💖 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 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“

“Exceptional and delicious food. You can taste the thought they put into every dish. The service was perfect as well, it was attentive but at the same time it did not feel forced or too pushy. Perfect place with a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend and would come back. I also appreciated that they add 4% health service charge to provide health care for their employees. It felt like they care about people working there and it was reflected in the atmosphere of the place.“

“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“

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

“The cake I preordered was ready when I got there to pick up. They were so helpful when ordering and at pickup. I ordered the Tres Leches. It was a perfect blend of yummy! The entire party loved this special birthday cake. Thank you Mey Fung Barkery. You are now my go to bakery.“

“This meal was the highlight of our LA trip! I don’t know what kind of sorcery is afoot here but this little spot manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts. I felt so welcomed from the moment I stepped through the door and I liked that they have you order and pay before sitting down, it makes the dining experience more relaxing and low key. Loved how short and sweet the menu was, the chef has incredible restraint and a crystal clear vision. Every single thing we had was incredible, the best hk french toast and bolo bao I have ever had, and omg the scallion roll and dumplings. I don’t know what it is about this place but I’m still thinking about that meal days later. Also, the dining room made me feel like I was in a tvb serial from the early 90s which is the highest compliment.“

“Casual walk in place, counter order. Service was ok. We got the classic zhengyalov hatz wrap, and split it. Having never had it, wasn't sure what to expect. It's very veggie, herbal-y. Pretty much just bread and vegs. It was done well, but maybe not to my taste. The flatbread part was very good though.“

“I have been to the 2 Little Tokyo locations and this one is definitely the winner! there’s a huge variety of pastries and things to eat for a quick bite (you might probably have to eat it standing or elsewhere during the weekends since it gets pretty packed and there’s just 3 tables!) but the steamed buns were good!, the matcha mochi wasn’t too sweet so it was perfect, the almond croissant was fine but their specialty is definitely on other pastries! will definitely come back again to try more stuff.“

“I discovered the Baked Bar LA by accident and I’m glad I did.
The food is amazing, and never disappoints. They have Vegan and GF options. Coffee is amazing as well as their teas. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Anytime I visit Culver City, Baked bar LA is top priority.“

“This place is amazing - the sandwich bread alone is just so good. That perennial turkey sandwich is something my entire office raves about. Such a gem in Burbank. The salads are freaking delicious too. We have submitted several large orders here (for 14+ people) and they knock it out of the park each time. Support local!“

“Everything is good. Loved the coffee“

“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.“

“This is the absolute go to bakery. While it was the sign that says ‘One of LA’s Top Cookie Destinations’ that brought me in, it was the warm welcoming service and the incredible quality and care that goes into every single item that keeps us coming back. The breads are above and beyond anything I’ve experienced. The sour dough and garlic and olive oil loafs are our family favorites. We can’t not have a loaf going in the house at all times. Highest recommendation!“

“I was excited to come here based on reviews and environment. It looked so cute inside and I was so happy to try it. I ordered a cold brew, but it was extremely watered down, so that was disappointing. The woman who took my order at the counter was not friendly at all, which really ruined the experience for me. It’s almost like I had no right to be there. I didn’t order any food, but the open faced bagels looked really good, so I gave the food 5 stars as a benefit of the doubt.
But I’m not sure I’ll come back based on the sour mood of the cashier.“

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

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

“Amazing place!! Do yourself a favor and go! Make it“

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

“Absolutely love this place for their pastries and bread alone. My favorite pastry is the Swedish cardamom bun, and their sourdough bread is fantastic as well. When I want something savory I go for their simple everything bagel that gets the job done. I don’t normally get the coffee here, as the times I’ve been there they only seem to have drip. The staff is also always very friendly. I really like this place for the vibes. Very simple straight forward cafe, bakery, and unpretentious vibes, which can be a rarity here in LA.“

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

“Special thanks to Laila and her amazing team for their outstanding service and warm hospitality. The vegan section and options are an absolute dream — so thoughtfully curated and delicious. I love that there’s a separate section just for plant-based items; it makes ordering so much easier and more enjoyable. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, which truly enhances the experience.“

“I had a last minute need for a hostess gift for a brunch I was attending, I placed the order an Saturday for Sunday and the amazing cookies were delivered Sunday mid-morning. My friends who are also client absolutely loved the gift. This is a wonderful gift for any occasion“

“I had the egg sandwich and it was delicious. The steamed egg had a great texture, green sauce was delish, and on tartine bread perfect. I recently tried the egg sandwich at the Santa Monica location and it was pretty bland compared to this one. Staff was super friendly and helpful also! Cool playlist - helped the vibe“

“Fabulous 👌!!! This is my favorite bakery. Whenever I'm in charge of picking up a cake for any special occasion, only the strawberry cake with almonds will do. The cake is perfect every single time.
Service is friendly and efficient,
Parking can be hard to find so bring a friend that can drop you off, drive around the block, and then pick you up.
ORDER A CAKE!!!“

“I had ordered a 12 slice carrort cake with butter cream frosting for my boyfriend's birthday. It was a hit! Everyone loved the flavor and spices. It was a very dense and moist cake as well. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely recommend this bakery. I am very happy and very satisfied!“

“This location is clean, greeted right away, not packed/big lines, fresh cookies, most are overly sweet but I like that they constantly put out new flavors. The peanut butter cup was the favorite of this purchase.
Although we haven't tried the lemon one yet.“

“nice people, nice baked goods, good coffee, what else? just go see by yourself you'll like it:)“

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

“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.“

“They made me the perfect cake I love my taste and quality of cake. Our family has been fans for years. Highly recommended“
