50 Best Bakeries near Venice

“Visited this establishment for the first time on a busy Saturday morning. Excellent vibe and welcoming staff!

​When one of my food items never arrived, I went inside and saw a 40-person line. I flagged down Steven M. at the espresso machine to see if he could point me in the right direction. Instead of passing the torch, Steven took full ownership of the situation. He was exceptionally polite, coordinated directly with the kitchen and register teams, and resolved the issue with a great attitude. This was NOT his job, and he did it all professionally with a smile. ​Customer service like Steven’s is rare.

​Food/Drinks: 8.5/10
​Service: 10/10
​Thank you, Steven M.! Give that man a raise.“

“Dinner ,breakfast coffee, staff were so friendly and welcoming“

“the BEST bakery in our venice beach neighborhood. the rolls are simply fantastic. everytime we visit we are treated like family by the staff.

you must try the dark chocolate peanut butter cookie!!

they’re extremely busy all the time, so highly recommend visiting earlier in the day to snag a walnut berry roll! don’t let the line discourage you, it moves quick

very proud of Levain being a big supporter of Venice Run Club 🏃💨“

“This coffee hub in Venice feels like the moment Abbot Kinney’s creative pulse meets the precision of third wave coffee. Opened in 2009, it helped define Venice’s modern café culture by turning coffee brewing into something closer to a performance than a transaction.

You step through the brick archway into a bright industrial space where baristas work in the open, pulling espresso and pouring filter coffees with the kind of care that makes you slow down and actually watch. The vibe channels Venice’s blend of artistry and edge with a mix of locals, creatives, and caffeine purists who treat this spot like a daily ritual. It is one of those rare cafés where the coffee is flawless, the energy feels alive, and the entire experience captures the spirit of Venice without trying too hard.“

“Best gluten free treats around! It's a small shop, but I love the vibe! I can't wait to order my birthday cake and party treats!! Parking can be tough at times...but street parking is available!“

“Great service and Great product.“

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

“A dream, truly. Everything here is magical ✨ Lara is THE SWEETEST! Even sweeter than the treats 🍪 and her story is very cool and inspiring. You absolutely cannot go wrong but my favorites are the Bourbon Maple 🍁 Vanilla Pecan bar, Sweet Potato 🍠 Pie bars, the brookies, chocolate chip/espresso Oreo cookies 🍪, the London fog and biscoff cookies are also fire…. Imma just name the whole menu if I continue! One of my fav bakeries in LA! And now they have cafecitos too! Which are also divine. Parking is easy- either street or neighborhood. The shop is clean and inviting. 10, 10, 10 across the board.“

“Finally got to try this boulangerie, and it didn’t disappoint!! Be prepared for a line, if you’re lucky not a long one. They use whole grain flour and amazing butter quality, the flakiness is insane even on the cinnamon roll which Im usually not a fan of and I think that I might go back just for that!! Also got the pain au chocolat granola which I can’t wait to try… it’s genius!!“

“I can’t say enough about this place I’m in love. Josue the manager was very attentive and customer service orientation is by far the best I’ve experienced. I can’t wait to bring my family back and enjoy more of this delicious healthy and organic bread and delicious meals. The team is very beautifully humble and welcoming. I wish this was the norm. Thank you to the team and Josue we will be back and recommending everyone here .“

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

“Amazing assortment of breads! So many great pastries! A nice and relaxing atmosphere with friendly service!“

“**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!“

“I love this place I would travel so far just to try the cookies every week as they change flavors. It’s so exciting you have to try this place. Specially, in Inglewood the energy is so cool.“

“Cookie Good is so reliably delicious! I've ordered their cookies for many events and life milestones over the years, from graduations to birthday parties. I recently bought several dozen wrapped cookies for a birthday party, and adults and kids alike loved them. They had so much fun trying all the creative flavors, and of course, kept telling me how tasty every flavor was. I highly recommend!“

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

“Also, Price points amazing.“

“I needed a little European fix today, so I decided to visit Des Croissants Paris. First of all I just finished devouring 4 pastries that were in incredibly delicious!!! Top ingredients straight from France! But what made my visit an outstanding experience, was how lovely and gracious the staff was including the owner. We chatted about Spain and had one of those moments of community that are so rare in this city. I highly recommend this slice of French heaven in the middle of Culver City“

“Run, don’t walk. A fabulous find in the south bay! As good as it gets outside of France. Maybe better.“

“Such a lovely spot on Rodeo Drive! The atmosphere is beautiful, and it’s a perfect place to take a break while exploring Beverly Hills. I ordered the Iced Dubai Chocolate Latte, and it was absolutely delicious. A special thanks to the barista for being so kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!“

“MIGHT BE THE BEST PIE I’VE EVER TRIED 🥧⭐

This was my first time trying key lime pie bc I usually don’t like lime unless it’s in a drink. BUT OH WOW I’ve been missing out!!!

The key lime pie was SO good. I love sour flavors, and I think the filling had the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. It might be a little too sour if you eat the lime filling by itself, but with the cream and crust together?? BOMB!!

I also tried the banana cream pie and really liked it! It tasted just like banana pudding. I think it would be even better with a crust like the one on the key lime pie, if that’s possible!

The service was great, the restroom was clean, and the place was super cute too.
Definitely coming back to try more flavors!“

“I arrived just as they were closing, but they still kindly sold me a piece of bread instead of turning me away. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the bread was simply divine—fresh, flavourful, and worth every bite.

Excellent customer service and excellent bread. I’ll definitely be back, hopefully a little earlier next time.“

“The best Avocado Toast ever!“

“This is my go-to neighborhood bakery now. Living within short walking distance means I come here every week. I've tried every pastry by now and each one is excellent. They often add new seasonal pastries, most recently a strawberry danish topped with creamy frosting and filled with house-made jam; easily the best vegan pastry I've ever had. Their freshly baked breads are almost all vegan, most of their cakes are vegan, they have vegan sandwiches, and all of their café drinks can be vegan with plenty of plant milks available. Many of these are gluten free as well for those concerned about that, and always clearly marked. These are NOT pastries for crunchy health-food types, they are incredible and indulgent vegan versions of the same croissants, pan au chocolat, scones, cookies, muffins, etc you'd get in any European style bakery. It's a great place to go with omni friends and family because the vegan options are just as good as the nonvegan ones. The place has a really cozy neighborhood type feeling, drawing regulars from the area including families and plenty of cute dogs, and the staff and owners are all super friendly. My omni fiancé and I are having them make our wedding cake! Pro tip 1: go before closing from 2:30-3:00 Monday-Thursday for 30% off everything. Pro tip 2: their day-old breads are half off, which makes their breads a total steal. Pro tip 3: They also sell locally made coffee, greeting cards, handmade candles, and other small giftable items like that if you're treating someone else. Updated from previous review on 2026-06-20“

“I had a great first time experience on Monday 8/12! Clean environment, parking was typical but easy as well. I got a hotdog roll and they asked if I wanted it warmed up which was very thoughtful!

Shoutout Brice for the great + friendly service!

Keep up the great work, everybody!“

“We had a nice, cozy dinner here and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We ordered our pasta without cheese, but it was accidentally served with cheese. The staff handled the mistake very professionally and apologized immediately. They quickly brought us the correct order, and the service throughout the evening was friendly and attentive. Mistakes can happen, but the way they resolved the situation was excellent.“

“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“

“Just got a family gift box of these delivered for Christmas and man! Great wrapping and appearance! Very festive! NOWW, the taste! The best cranberry cookie (craizy 4 u) I’ve ever eaten! So excited to try the others, I don’t want to share!“

“I feel bad for the one and only employee working there today who's coworker left her with no cookies baked and unable to fulfill the orders. She did the best she could and was apologetic and explained the lack of product. Need to have more than one person running a store like this.“

“Excellent experience! It was extremely busy, but our server IZZY made us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant. The service was attentive, friendly, and never rushed.

The focaccia bread was absolutely out of this world. Even with a packed restaurant, the food came out and tasted just as amazing as every other time we’ve been here. We’ll definitely be back, whether it’s busy or not!“

“Best baked choco 🍩 .. mmm“

“My favorite place wonderful food, desserts and coffee“

“Can't get enough of their cheesecake cupcakes...all flavors are great! In addition to cupcakes, they serve Louisiana Creole cuisine lunch specials each day. Love this place!
Previous review:
Absolutely beautiful and wonderfully delicious! Ordered these cupcakes in celebration of my birthday last week and Cheesecake de Granger did not disappoint. Have ordered from them previously and they continue to provide high-quality products as well as great customer service.“

“Had an absolutely lovely experience ordering a cake for a small party. Ordering in store was so simple and the cake was not only affordable but delicious! We had a strawberry shortcake and the sponge was light as air. With refrigeration it held up perfectly overnight to serve the day after pickup. Highly recommend this local bakery.“

“The most beautiful (and delicious) cake I have ever experienced. Thank you so much for sharing your art & talent for baking the best organic deserts in the world. Really exceptional!“

“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 absolutely love Crumbl Cookies because it’s not just cookies - it’s cookies made with care. They’re warm, soft, and always fresh. This is truly a place where you can enjoy the art of baking.

If you have a sweet tooth, I definitely recommend choosing these cookies over any others you might find.“

“What a gem in the middle of Redondo Blvd! Family owned bakery with comfort in every way. Went in to grab a quick breakfast before a gig nearby and was blown away by the bagels! It smells of Indian Spices, warm and comforting, and I loved their bagel sandwich so much I savored it. My husband could not contain his love for his sandwich and gobbled it. The workers/owners are amazing! So kind, lovely customer service and very cool! What a great local spot for sweet or savory! If you’re a tea lovers their Masala Chai was HEAVENLY! I got it iced since it was so hot today, but I’d imagine it’s delicious any way they serve it! Perfection! What a treat on this workday! Will happily go back next time I’m in the area and honestly can’t wait to try their sweets!“

“My review is for the new thin cookies.
I went during the free thin cookie giveaway and bought the Dubai style chocolate cookie. $7 for 2 thin cookies. I got the brownie batter and it was great, falling apart but good. Taste wise for Dubai chocolate was also good. Cookie quality in terms of taste is not the issue. I love chewy cookies but I'm giving it 3 stars for value and also how my cookies stuck together by the time I got home, which was less than 2 miles, so packaging fail. The ladies working at the shop was nice and quick. But $7 for 2 filmsy cookie is a bit expensive in my opinion.“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“Very friendly and personable staff!
Anna, Chansreyleak and John offer great donuts and fresh hot coffee as well as a variety of subs and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Iced tea and boba concoctions, Ice cream, lotto and an ATM are available as well!“

“I’ve been here twice now to have a coffee and work on their patio. I love it. I’m not a huge coffee drinker but love their lattes!! They also treated my dog to a pup cup. Everyone working is so friendly and nice. The food looks incredible - I’m excited to try it next time.“

“excellent bakery.......customer service. delicious treats. #miz_pound_cake“

“Wetzel’s Pretzels is pretty well-loved for their soft, freshly baked pretzels. They have a variety of flavors, from classic salted pretzels to cinnamon sugar and even pretzel dogs. People often rave about their warm, doughy texture and the tasty dipping sauces they offer. Also vegetarian Plus, their staff tends to be super friendly and welcoming, making it a fun experience overall.❤️in Hollywood“

“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.“

“OK, it’s cookies, not pastries… but oh, my, oh, my!! Delicious, imaginative cookies. We went in for 2, came out with a dozen (+ 1 for a baker’s dozen‼️).“

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

“Love Roji Bakery! Great, friendly service and the fruit sandos are the best! This was one of my favorite things about my LA trip!❤️❤️❤️“

“I got lemon, key lime, praline, sweet potato, strawberry and cream and pineapple. And all are so very good. Light and creamy with deep rich flavor. Can Not Be Beat.“
