A Sweet & Thoughtful Gift Idea I wasn't sure what to get my grandparents for their 73rd wedding anniversary. They've lived a lifetime of experiences, don't get out much these days, and don't need much -- so I wanted to give them something thoughtful rather than just another gift. My grandma used to bake quite a bit when she was younger (I think she even had a little side hustle with it!), and my grandparents both have a serious sweet tooth. Since they're Mexican, their usual go-to is pan dulce. They also don't really make it out to the South Bay, so I thought this would be a fun opportunity to introduce them to something new. I decided to try Becker's Bakery and ordered custom photo cookies. The ordering process was easy and straightforward, and the staff were friendly and helpful when I had questions over email. When I arrived for pickup, my order was ready right on time. The real test, though, was giving them to my grandparents in Pico Rivera. They were so surprised by the photo-cookie idea! The picture came out sharp and clear, and they genuinely loved the cookies themselves. The taste was just as impressive as the presentation. Honestly, my favorite part was seeing their reaction -- first being amazed that their photo was actually printed onto a cookie, and then being pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted. I'm already looking forward to introducing them to more pastries from Becker's, and I think I may have accidentally created a new tradition for myself: custom photo cookies as a unique, thoughtful gift idea. A really sweet experience all around -- literally and figuratively! read more

I have loved this place since I was little! Most people come for their cookies and cakes, but my favorite are the sandwich options (w/ pickle)! The service is always fast and their hours are a bit wonky (closed Mondays, etc), but stop by early later in the week or on the weekend for the most options! The inside is small but with the "Becker's" on the side of the building, you can't miss it! read more

We were staying down the street and needed a birthday cake for our friend. Stopped by and inquired about a chocolate flavored one. The lady behind the counter said they only had 1 left, and it was vanilla flavored. Since we didn't have a choice, we ended up buying that one, "the only one left." We asked for the cake to be set aside since we were going on a walk, and after 30 mins more less we returned to see they had several more, and chocolate flavored ones. What the....!!!! Is it that hard to just be honest and tell us you had more options? Hard to believe this establishment would just flat out life. Unreal... read more

I have mixed feelings about this bakery. I think it's fantastic that it seems to be locally run! But the cookie I got tasted like any store bought cheap sugar cookie. And this one cost a premium! At least it was cute. This is very close the the manhattan beach pier. While I did not get one, I did notice they have a sandwich menu. It'd be fun to grab a sandwich and have a beach picnic! read more

Have to say that the service can be a bit apathetic and aloof. Most importantly, it always feels like a waste of time coming here because its completely inconsistent what baked goods they have on any given day. They really just seem to wake up and freestyle the whole thing. So, don't get attached to anything ever there. There is a 90% likelihood you won't be able to order it on your next visit. The assortment is also always consistently underwhelming. Finally, the sandwiches. These are a joke for the prices. They make the same basic sandwich you make at home with grocery store ingredients. Not worth it. read more

We came here before heading to the beach and were surprised at all of the goodies for the low price! We paid less n $5 for a shortbread cookie, pizza pocket, and cheese scone. All were delicious and scrumptious too. The cookies are picture worthy and almost too pretty to eat with the colorful frosting. They've been around for awhile and are such a good treat. The team members were helpful and served us quickly, but there are no tables or chairs inside, just grab and go pastries. read more

Nice local bakery with really reasonably priced baked goods! We got a huge chocolate chip cookie for $2.50 and a decent sized surfboard cookie for $1.75, and at other bakeries they could easily charge $3-4 for each. Both cookies were tasty, would recommend this place for a baked good if you're in the area! There was some outdoor seating, nothing inside. read more

Like all shops in the Manhattan beach area, the parking is based on 2 hour metered parking. This bakery is fairly okay. The designs for the cookies are fun. The taste is okay but I'm not a personal fan of straight sugar cookies. But if you are then this bakery could work for you. The staff were nice and service was quick. There's no seating except for a few tables outside. So you're mostly eating to-go. But cookies at the beach is fun. read more

Can't rave about this place enough! I was shocked at how good the frosted oatmeal cookie was and how the cinnamon roll tasted like a healthier version of Cinnabon. All the pastries are amazing! And the prices! Those prices! I'm use to paying $6+ for cookies, not $3, I was shocked at how affordable everything was for having such a great location. read more

Huge fan of a sweet treat, but a bigger fan of Becker's! I always stop by here when I'm in the area. They have the best sugar iced cookies.... And cutest too. Always in theme of the holidays and their original heart, sprinkles, and surfboard cookies are a Manhattan Beach staple here. I always pre order my cookies as they do sell out on the weekends... I'm not kidding. They offer custom cookies online and other options. The cakes are fun for any occasion and birthdays. I always grab an order no matter what day it is and it brightens my day. Come by here and grab a treat. read more

My family loves Becker's! We originally tried it while visiting a family friend in MB, and now we go back all the time. The cookies are delicious, truly. Amazing sugar cookies with the cutest designs I've ever seen. The whole place is like that, with pretty coastal art and warm lighting. The employees are always friendly and the service is quick. Just make sure to come early if you want their cuter cookies, like the surf boards, because they sell out! Everytime we go to a party and need to bring a gift or food along, we get these sugar cookies. We'll be back again very soon. read more

These heart cookies with the pink frosting were literally my lifeblood in the early 2000s as a young chimp running around the AMS Elementary School. I came back here for the first time in a minute this weekend, now a full grown orangutan, and can confirm these heart cookies with the pink frosting ($1.50) are still literal crack cocaine. I really don't even mess with frosting on cookies usually, but Becker's is just different. I paired an americano with my cookie, as they now have a Hi-Fi Espresso in here which I think slangs some of the best espresso around. It makes me feel like I'm in Europe idk how else to describe it. I almost bought a shirt, but I have SO many shirts already so I opted against it. However, when I was doing my due diligence for this review a sense of regret shot through my spine like it was an epidural when I saw Beckers has been around since 1942. I had NO idea that Beckers has been around since Joseph Stalin was the Time Magazine Person of the Year. Still so crazy he was Time's Person of the Year....... The business is still in the family after 3 generations (Shoutout to the OG Harry Becker for kicking it off), which really makes me want to go back and buy a shirt. I love places passed from generation to generation. No wonder these heart cookies with the pink frosting still taste exactly the same as they did when I was just a little chimp. Some free game for y'all, if you go to someone's party in Manhattan Beach and they don't have a box of Becker's cookies, they are a big fat phony..... ahaha I'm playin but actually OGs will always have a box of Beckers for a function. I should mention that they also have a deli here that people love, but I've really only ever been here for the cookies. You know why I'm here. As the money and botox continues to move into Manhattan Beach, this is one of the 5 or 6 places left keeping the soul of what I knew as a small local beach town alive.

Hi Becker Bakery, I doubt that anyone from our establishment has been to your store. As Security I would like to say you are very thoughtful for taking the time out of your busy schedule to bring some pastries to this homeless shelter. I usually don't take food from donation, but I just had to try one or two...lol very delicious. The residence here once they knew there was fresh pastries they dug right in. Thank you much Beckers Bakery read more

Today, I found a box of Becker's Bakery Cookies in our lobby at work with a lovely note to enjoy the cookies. Our office is an hour away. Later in the day, I opened the box to an absolutely gorgeous display of cookies with our corporate logo perfectly captured in the icing. What an amazing surprise and a fantastic marketing campaign! I later found out a vendor had these delivered as a thank you gift. I passed the cookies around to our manufacturing managers and IT staff who stayed late in the day to get work done during quieter hours. Everyone raved about the cookies: very moist, tasty, and with just the perfect amount of sweetness -- certainly a cookie an adult would enjoy with their tea or coffee. I believe we will order cookies from Becker's Bakery for some upcoming events. read more

Great local bakery! Everyone in MB knows Becker's. Whether you're coming for a box of cookies or getting a custom cake, Becker's is a local favorite. When you walk in you'll be greeted by friendly staff who want to get you exactly what you're looking for. On this occasion I came in looking for a last minute cake and they had exactly what I needed, just sitting there waiting for me! :D And I feel like this is always the case when I walk in there. read more

We raised our kids in Manhattan Beach and came back to town recently for a visit. With so many new restaurants popping up in downtown MB, it really is nice to see one of our regular places still in business - Becker's Bakery! Our kids have great memories of Becker's - from frosting cookies during the annual holiday open house, to buying a whole bunch of surfboard cookies to share with classmates on birthdays, to simply ordering sandwiches to have on the beach. A few days ago, we decided to get some sandwiches to eat on the pier and, naturally, bought a couple of their surfboard cookies to go along with them. What a treat! Delicious! I'm grateful to the new generation of the Becker family that are keeping this gem going after all these years! read more

I've walked by this place several times every in the morning and missed out on trying because it's not open til 8:00. Decided to be patient and get my coffee later than normal. The plan was to just get coffee but I saw this amazing pastry begging to be tried. First off, the coffee was perfect. Bug this apple fritter type pastry is one of the best I've ever had...in my life! They had croissants the size of my sneakers, cinnamon buns, cakes, and colorful cookies which were so welcoming when walking through the door! Can't wait to try more things from this place! read more

If you want cookies, Beckers is the best. Their sugar cookies are delicious and you can even send them a photo and they'll print it in the cookies. We ended up ordering a cake which looked really nice and was good, but nothing special. My husband felt the cake was a little dry and actually thought the bakery at Costco does a better cake. I thought it was good but again, not as good as I expected based on their amazeballs cookies. If you're down at the beach and looking for a sweet treat, check it out! read more

Highly recommend for their iced sugar cookies for the kids! We got there at 1pm on a Sunday & all the surf board cookies were about gone so we got their seasonal ghost cookies. If you don't want a spicy sandwich, recommend you miss their sandwiches- got the Tommy on Ciabata with no onion & no pepper relish and it was bland with not much flavor. Both of the team members that waited on us were nice with their services & friendly read more

This Little gem in Manhattan is Pretty Rad. They have a wonderful selection of baked goods. My fav being their chocolate chip cookie they are massive and buttery and just delicious. They are known for their surfboard cookies and love that they have a variety of colors for the kids as well. The place is very small so there is no inside seating but there are 2 small cute tables outside with chairs to enjoy your treats and get some fresh air. I haven't tried their coffee but there is always a line so I'm sure it's good. Their customer service is great here, very helpful and always a smile on their face. If you are in the SouthBay make sure to come here grab a cup of coffee & a sweet treat as hit the beach. read more

Happy National Scone Day! A good scone in my opinion is hard to come by. They can often be dry and hard but that is not the case at Becker's Bakery. Becker's Bakery has some of the best scones I've ever tried! Currently; the bakery is not open so that you can walk in. You will be ordering up front by the door. It's not a problem though as the folks working there will happily answer any questions you may have for their product on display. I instantly spotted a pretty, blue/purple pastry and asked what it was. They told me it was their blueberry scone. Perfect for National Scone Day is their blueberry scone. For $2.25 only this scone is a great deal! It's soft and delicious. There is a layer of blueberry cream on top giving it a nice, sweet compliment. I could tell it was fresh and I loved every bite. My one regret for the day is that I didn't buy more scones to take home! Hmm...guess it only means I will be back for more soon ;) read more

Delicious desserts all around. There may be a line, but it is definitely worth the wait. Lovely staff greet and welcome you. Loved the purple daisy flower icing decorated sugar cookie, rainbow cookie, red heart, and multi color sprinkles sugar cookies. The mini cupcakes both chocolate and vanilla flavored were a hit. Above all, adore how this bakery is locally own and run near the heart of Manhattan Beach finest ocean breeze and views. Wonderful for satisfying our sweet tooth craving while enjoying SoCal oceanside life. Amazing strolls and shops nearby. read more

We ordered sugar cookies with a lemon imprint. The cookies were beautiful and, more importantly, absolutely delicious!

I know I am odd but I am not a donut person... until I had Becker's donuts. The actual donut is almost like a pancake the flavor it's so delicious. The frosting has just the right amount of flavor with a hint of sweetness. Maple is my favorite. Becker's is a well known in Manhattan Beach. It's perfect for holidays, birthdays or just a small treat. One of the best coffee locations in the South Bay is now located right inside of Becker's- Hi-Fi!

Oh I cannot say enough about how much I enjoy this bakery and its heart sugar cookies. Once, we arrived at the store to find it was closed; i craved those darn cookies for two weeks until we could come back. I actually don't enjoy sweets that much but there is something so perfectly soft and sweet about their cookies - then we tried the cupcakes and the pizza rolls!! What a treat. I did not expect the pizza rolls to be so delicious, soft, pepperoni in every bite, delicious sauce and cheese. Bought one...then bought three more. read more

Becker's is a staple of Manhattan Beach. Pictured is the best dessert, surfboard cookie that never fails. We got the chicken salad sandwich and Turkey sandwich as well.
