Bea's has some incredible baked goods. Although Bea has been dead for a long time but they still stick to her recipes. I haven't seen a change of goods, just prices over the last thirty years. My favorite is the long onion rolls, but their bagels are good too. They have a lot of sweet stuff too read more

Beas sent an email stating they are taking Rosh hashana orders thru Sept 17th. I called today and was told they stopped taking orders. I stated i had just received the email and this is false advertising. I asked to speak to a manager and was told by a rude individual they "decided" they had an enough orders and I can just came by on the holiday. I told her this was wrong. I have been a customer for .50 yrs and never spoken to like she spoke. I asked her name and she literally hung up on me. I can't believe this was the Bea's I've ordered every birthday cake, holiday orders etc. In today's world I would think no one should be so unprofessional especially working at what was my number one bakery. read more

I have been looking for a local bakery, specifically for pastries and cake and had passed this place a few times and decided to stop in and try a few things. I thoroughly enjoyed the large almond cookie, not pictured but very delicious. The prune and cheese danish was perfect! On the flip side, the petit four tasted good but I do not enjoy dry cake. This was also the issue with the german chocolate cake, though the icing tastes homemade, the cake was awfully dry. With all that said, I will return. I saw some other things I would like to try like the individual apple pie and the bread pudding. As well, they bake fresh bread and it all looked delicious. This place sells cookies, cakes, pies, breads, some donuts like chocolate eclairs and specialities like cannoli. read more

I went to Bea's on a recommendation.....they had boxed cookies so decided on that since the cookies on display looked the same.....bad choice! The boxed cookies tasted old and no flavor. Lesson learned don't get boxed anything at a bakery, who knows how long they have been sitting there. read more

Bea's Seven Layer Cake has been my favorite treat for decades. Today's experience however, was a letdown. While the filling is as good as ever, the cake is now too dense and crumbly. So dense, in fact, it breaks apart, where it used to be spongier and the layers would actually bend. Please fix the recipe to make the layers lighter and spongier. After all, the true test of a Seven Layer Cake is that you should be able to peel apart the layers and eat them one at a time. #IYKYK read more

Customer service has gone completely 100% DOWN HILL!!! Spoke with Nico & he sounded completely new. I ordered a Hamburger Cake & he didn't ask me what kind of frosting or what kind of filling I wanted. He asked for my credit card number, which I did NOT give him. I asked for a manager & got Mariana. I told her all of this & she said Nico was not new & what I'm telling her doesn't matter!! WHAT!!! WTF?!?!!!!!! I've been going there 33 years plus!! Never again!!! They can their crummy customer service and stick it up there where the sun doesn't shine!!! Y'all lost a good customer. We will be going to Gelsons from now on!!! read more

Bea's has been a valley staple since I was still going to my pediatrician across the street (I'll give you a hint - that's a long time). They have an amazing rugelach selection, as well as selection of smaller pastries and desserts. We usually come for the challah and more recently, their ube challah and desserts! We recommend Bea's for all occasions and love that they are still around and keep the old school vibe. read more

Bea's is a classic gem! This past Rosh Hashana, I had their plain round challah and their olive and rosemary round challah! They were both delicious and I'm amazed I got them all the way home without taking a bite! Their black and white cookies, their sugar cookies, and their sprinkle cookies are also sensational. Definitely give them a try. Just keep in mind that they get very busy around the holidays so you may have to wait (but it's only because they're the best). read more

Ordered a custom chocolate cake for my fiancé's birthday and it turned out pretty good! The cake and chocolate mousse inside the cake was great but the chocolate buttercream was a bit too thick and overpoweringly sweet. read more

Unassuming place on the outside but a hidden gem. I wasn't planning on writing a review at first, since we only got two chocolate chip danishes and an ube white chocolate brownie, but I had to say something. I was skeptical of how well the ube flavor would come through in the brownie, but I was pleasantly surprised--the ube paired with the white chocolate perfectly. It wasn't too sweet, and the ube wasn't overwhelmed by the chocolate. The danishes are pretty good, with plenty of chocolate chips and a perfect texture. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area looking for a quick pick-me-up. read more

Bea's was my high bar comparison bakery for the Los Angeles area for over 40 years. I have been there twice in the past few months (though I live 50 miles away now) and noted the prices are even higher than they had been. Okay, I get it; the cost of ingredients has risen. However, with that, I still expect absolute freshness and flavor. Unfortunately, multiple cookie and bun products I purchased were not fresh or flavorful! I especially don't know how they could fail as they did with the cakes and cookies made with marzipan, but they did. The black and white cookies--that I observed to be a big seller--had dried-out cake! Bea would be turning in her grave if she knew. I like that the current owner(s) is/are using the old Bea's Bakery recipes and have added their Filipino ones to the menu, but please do better on maintaining freshness. I can buy fresher half-off bakery items from the supermarket at a quarter of the price. The counter staff are variable in their helpfulness and friendliness. They often look like they would rather be elsewhere. I'm not referring to busy times, either. There are typically plenty of employees when I have been there. I'm not expecting gushing behavior, just some warmth rather than robotic interaction. When I pay the prices charged by a bakery, that is what I expect. I do appreciate the posting of the prices. Taking a number keeps the store organized, and the line moves quickly if there is one, so there is still efficiency. I often chat with others who are there to pick up bakery items for their mostly older family members who have shopped at Bea's for half a century or more. I hope that their purchases did not disappoint as much as mine did. This review is not about the breads offered, as I did not purchase any of them the last two times. I remember them as being excellent, especially the corn rye and challah. I would have rated the current Bea's even lower, but for sentimental reasons, I just could not this time. I will give the bakery one more chance in the future, but won't purchase more than a small quantity of any items until I taste each one of them for freshness and flavor. That means no more purchasing of cakes since you cannot sample them. I am so sad that the end of Bea's Bakery wonderful era appears to be over. read more

Thank you so much they are the best. Alexa helped me. I have been their customer for 30 years. Best bakery in the valley!

I've been a customer for over 30 years. Purchase Challah and Rugelah every week. I arrived at 455pm on Sunday. There was No hello, hi, or any greeting except for Sorry, we are closed. Albeit, a customer left as i walked in, they were fully staffed staring at me and doors unlocked. Customer service is lacking and after reading other reviews there's consensus among other loyal long time customers....fix the crappy attitude Beas used to be iconic your unmotivated staff not so much read more

Anita just helped us and she was great! Love this bakery. Grew up here and it's the best!

Came for a birthday cake. Upon entering, don't forget to take a number. Your number will be called and then it is time to order all the yummy treats. Cookies, cake pops, and more! How can you decide? They are very helpful to answer any questions. I was excited to try this famous bakery I always heard about. I got a birthday cake with yellow cake and buttercream frosting. The baker put happy birthday and the name of my choice on the cake. It was a nice feature that they write on the cake! The birthday girl loved it because it was her favorite type of cake. The cake was just okay for me. It could feed about 10 people but it was a bit dryer and too much buttercream inside and out. It really had so much buttercream and not enough soft cake and the cake was too dry. I prefer moist cake with moderate amount of frosting not so so much frosting. The cake was $28. The baker gave me free candles though! I would try a different cake to see if I could like something better. 4 stars because of the variety, helpfulness, clean store, and cake was good but could be better. I would still recommend and perhaps order a special cake so that you can ensure it's made fresh. read more

Wow, Beas always warranted 5 star and I guess the food still does but the customer service was so lacking- No taking numbers, ignoring you not even with a we'll be right with you or looking at you and then taking phone orders while you're standing there after you drove over, being ignored ! Not nice read more

Good bread cookies and pastries . I'm glad I found this spot a few years ago however I had not been in the Tarzana area in awhile and was craving some pastries remembered how good this spot is and googles up to see if they where still open and they still where so I made it on time to pick up a few things can't wait to go back . Totally recommend read more

I go to beas every once in a while to get fresh bread. Everything is baked everyday.. they start at 2am when some of you go to sleep! Lol. But I must say everything looks and tastes amazing as you can see from the pictures. The service is great too. They take pride in the bakery and they know how great it is because it's been serving tarzana for so many decades. The prices are great too! A must try. read more

What can I say.... EVERYTHING is amazing....for 50+ years! Check out our video review @TripoutwithSadieandRandThom

I wanted this place to be good because it always has a line? But to be honest, it's pretty mid. And I waited to review and try a few different things. But literally everything I've had. There is Hella dry! The bagels are not it. Yeah I really don't get the obsession with this place. The people are really nice and the service is great but unless if it's convenient for you, I would just go somewhere else. read more

This bakery is my favorite! There is so much to choose from that you will go crazy when you walk in! Their online menu is to die before! Something for absolutely everyone here! It smells great, there are samples available to try while you wait, and parking available in the shopping center lot or out front. Grab a ticket as soon as you walk in and then figure out what you would like. The ube selection is AMAZING and impossible to find anywhere else! If you have never tried, I recommend! The customer service is great, the employees do their best to help everyone quickly. It gets packed in there and you can imagine that there are sometimes entitled "long time customers" that come in with an attitude. Recently i ordered an edible birthday cake topper on Etsy for my son's 90s party and I called the bakery and explained that I just wanted it added to a red velvet 1/4 sheet and color added to the edge like a photo I had. Ashlee was very helpful and had me email the pic and then drop off the topper and pay for the cake the day before. Best suggestion ever because when I went to pick it up, they showed it to me and I got to leave right away! No waiting on line! The cake was exactly what I wanted and the best red velvet cake I've had!!! So thankful this bakery exists and I've tried so many of their pastries i can't pick a favorite but i do love their prune danishes. It sounds gross but seriously the best and no one else has these! They also have other to die for flavors! I highly recommend everyone visit this little hidden gem! read more

The best bakery in the city! It's worth the drive from everywhere! The breads are fantastic and the pastries are second to none!

I have been going to Bea's for the past 40 years. When it was sold I thought that would be the end. They have pulled through the difficult times it seems. I am always pleased when a certain young tall man serves me. He is so polite and thoughtful which are rare in today's time. The mandlebread and poppy seed strudel still remain faithful to Bea's original!! Worth the visit read more

Authentic old style Jewish bakery. There aren't many left. I come here just for the corn rye bread. I have a hard time finding one this authentic and good anywhere else. It's just like the ones served in the best Jewish delis. I've also tried the poppy seed and apple strudels which are yummy. read more
