50 Best Bakeries near Valley Village

“💖 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!!! 🧁“

“Jaqki’s Cake Creations never misses! She did our wedding cake way back in 2014 and it was unforgettable—so of course we had to go back to her for our baby shower cake. And once again, she absolutely delivered!

The cake was not only beautiful, but also so delicious—moist, flavorful, and a total hit. There was barely any left by the end of the shower! Her cupcakes were just as amazing, and everything looked picture-perfect.

It’s been over a decade since she did our wedding cake, and she’s still our go-to for all things sweet. If you want a cake that tastes as good as it looks (maybe better!), Jaqki is your girl. Love her cakes and definitely a repeat customer!“

“If you are looking for an authentic, kosher, Jewish bakery, it does not get any better than Schwartz Bakery. I always thought that Portos bakery was number 1, well that spot is now taken by Schwartz Bakery. Their blintzes with cheese are amazing. I was shocked to know that the cheese is actually dairy free (parve), but it has a full taste of actual cheese, not an easy task if you ever bought dairy-free products. The assortment is great as well, you can find anything from non sweet potato knishes to savory little chocolate rolls and poppy seed roulettes. The little challas are very delicious too. I honestly can say that out of dozens of items that I had tried there, I have not found one that was not tasty.“

“▪︎ Ordered a coffee and two donuts (glazed, raspberry jelly). Hazelnut & French Vanilla creamer available (self-pour). Half/half, Splenda, sugar, too.

▪︎ Coffee ☕️ was tasty while the jelly was on-point. Not a coffee snob, so it was doable. Jelly donut was fantastic. Glazed os for my son. He's still sleeping, so I'll report back!

▪︎ HUGE menu of items to choose from, small seating area, immediately next to a gas station.

▪︎ No designated, traditional parking area, but not difficult to figure out.

▪︎ I'd recommend SCCD. It's small, local businesses like this that need our attention. Check it out!“

“Delicious cakes, donuts and cookies!!!“

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

“This is my first stop when coming home to visit! My family has enjoyed these pastries since as long as I can remember. Some of my favs are the guava cheese strudel, picadillo empanadas, and their famous potato balls. Looking forward to my next visit, love watching the make window. 😋“

“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!“

“Great place for Pastries.“

“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 🤪“

“Beautiful place, delicious food and great atmosphere. I really wanted to visit Bostan for such a long time. My family and I enjoyed the atmosphere, the music and the cleanliness of this place. When I ordered, they didn’t have one ingredient available, and it was kind of sad. I had to change my order completely. One reason to visit again, and try those!“

“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“

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

“Fleurs et Sel was such a yummy experience! I got to experience the raspberry cheesecake bars during February and LISTEN that was the best cheesecake ever! Every cookie was unique in flavor, moist and satisfying.

I went and walked away with 5 items. I’d absolutely be a glutton again and visit for the new flavors this month. During my next visit I want to try the coffee available as I didn’t even realize this was an offering.

Service was incredibly friendly and I felt so welcome. With that, the atmosphere was live - music going and the owner, she was vibing! 5/5 experience all around.

This location, parking is a bit meh, I circled a few times and found parking. The location is small and only 2 parties in the shop at a time. I went during the middle of the day and did not experience a line.“

“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“

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

“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)! 😁👌“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“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!😄“

“**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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is one of the best Georgian restaurants I have been to. Authentic Georgian cuisine, amazing khinkali, delicious khachapuri, and perfectly cooked kebabs. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The staff was very friendly and the service was fast. The restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere and is very clean. If you are searching for Georgian food, khinkali, khachapuri, Georgian restaurant near me, or authentic Georgian cuisine, I highly recommend this place. Definitely coming back again!“

“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“

“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“

“I am submitting this as my informal petition to please open a location in the Bay Area. I miss all your baked goods, and am sorry I didn’t appreciate you enough when I lived nearby. I thought there’d be other bakeries, other breads. But I cant sleep until I’ve had your cardamom buns again; and when I do I dream of them. Send help.“

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

“I love the ice cream and desserts at this shop.“

“Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?“

“I went to LA from Northern México last week, and this petit and magnifique place, was the best place I ever been in a while in LA, simply delicious, and perfect. I hope to go back soon.“

“A local person recommended it, specifically the cardamom bun. I was so fortunate to get the last one and it was totally worth the hour drive! Definitely hoping I get the opportunity to come back. That breakfast burrito was also the best one I have EVER had!
I also ordered the matcha and got it with almond milk. Didn't ask for sweetener, and I don't think it comes with any which I think is great! Too many places have sugar already in the mix. Next time I want to try the orange cardamom coffee!“

“We had an amazing breakfast! Definitely coming back! Ingredients are really good quality, fruits were really ripe and fresh, scrambled eggs were so gentle and nice, potatoes were great too. The flakey french toast was to die for. Thank you for such good quality of food. I would like to try all their other stuff as well!“

“I come by here at least once a week, the bread and pastries are baked fresh daily and the workers always treat you like family. It doesn't look like much from outside but it's my go-to local bakery. I would highly recommend the jalapeno bread with creme cheese, but come early because they run out often by noon.“
