I've kinda been avoiding desserts because I've been working to lose weight and lost 8 pounds, but I came here because I wanted to use the restroom at the market. While I was here, they had a 30 percent off sign because it was near closing hours, so I wanted to try one pastry. I got the hot dog one and the croquette, but they told me there was a $10 minimum, so I bought a few more. The hot dog one was really good! It tasted exactly like how I wanted it to. If you've had one of these before, you know just how well the hot dog and other flavors just pair perfectly with this kind of bread. It's always amazing to be able to eat one of these. The croquette is equally as amazing. It's what I used to love as a child and still get a lot of joy eating today. I love how the potatoes and all the other flavors come together, especially on the panko crust. This thing is definitely worth getting. I didn't like the other two breads that much that I was forced to buy to hit the $10 limit. The garlic bread, while flavorful, was sweet for some reason. I don't want sweet garlic bread. Plus it was kinda sticky too from whatever sweet glaze was put on it. The honey bread has a light sweet taste, but it's not all it's cracked up to be either. There's better bread you can get in this store than that option, so skip that one. Anyway the service is cool. The deals at the end of the day are really nice because who knew that they would discount them at the end of the day? I didn't. I just found out by happenstance. The ambiance is that of a typical Korean bakery. Stop by and get the hot dog pastry or the croquette. You'll enjoy them! read more

Delicious daily make breads and price point is reasonable! Their chestnut loaf/bread is delicious and not overly sweet! Staff is super friendly and place is kept very well organized and clean. I love that it's right by the market and a food court so you can get all your things and food fixings at one place :) read more

I love this bakery and go weekly. I always buy a bunch of pastries because they stay fresh and delicious even after being stored in the fridge. Here are 4 reasons why this bakery is the bomb: 1. Their mango cake. It has actual thinly sliced fresh mango in every bite, something you won't find in most other mango cakes. It stands out from all the other mango cakes I've tried at Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese bakeries. I can honestly say that it's the best mango cake I've had within this country. Their cakes are also fairly priced and always get a lot of compliments whenever I bring them to birthdays or events. (I prefer their mango cake to their fruit cake, which has tangerines on top. Again, very fresh and delicious cake, but mango takes the cake. ) 2. Their croquettes in the warmer. One thing that makes this bakery unique is that they make croquettes that aren't curry-based, which is rare. Anyone who bakes knows that using curry for flavoring is the easier route, but they've taken the more difficult approach of making meat/ savory-flavored croquettes instead. That alone sets them apart. 3. Their "yetnal kwabaegi," the classic twisted donut dusted with corn powder. It's not the sugar donut we're accustomed to seeing in these other bakeries. This is the only place I've found in CA that makes it this way, just like the street vendors in Korea. It's so fluffy and the bread has this unami flavor that's not found in the sugar - dusted kinds. 4. Their cream bread. It's a solid 10/10. It's soft, fluffy, and melts in your mouth, even after being in the fridge for 3 days. It has yellow custard inside and a shell-like shape. 5. Their sweet potato pastry. It's generously sized, lasts more than two sittings for me, and is fairly priced. It also stores well in the fridge for a while without losing its flavor or texture. I want to know what they do to make their pastries last so well in the fridge. It must be that they use super fresh ingredients. I just wish they had more locations--they currently have four. read more

Cake House - I go there so often, I don't take pictures. IYKYK - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love cake house breads! All of the breads and pastries I've tried here are so tasty. You really cannot go wrong with any of their breads. I love the chestnut loaf, peanut crumble bread, and the classic - red bean pastry. read more

Not sure why the review is not that good for this place but maybe La people have spoiled tasted since there are so many options here lol. But compare to Korean bakeries in San Diego this place is pretty good. We tried from creme bread, milk bread, red bean paste bread, twisted sweet bread, and other breads and they were all tasty and good! It's located inside of galleria and service is great and quick. Definitely come back for more read more

This Cake House is bakery in the Galleria Market in Korea Town. This is basically right in front of the market when you come in. It's on the right side when you walk in. The parking for this place is easy. There's a huge parking structure that is free to park and you just take the elevator or escalator down. So the selection of this bakery is sparse. There isn't many items to choose to. I bought two items here, one was a butter bread and one was a speciality bun. The price is high, the variety is low, and unfortunately it didn't taste good either. I had the vibe of disappointment after paying a high price for baked goods just for it to not taste good. read more

Cake House - $4 Cream bread - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped by real quick for some fresh baked pastries this morning. I feel they have a lot more variety of pastries now than they used to. They had all my favorites including pizza pastries to simple jelly filled bread pastries. Everything tasted delicious. It's inside the Galleria plaza on the first floor to the right side as you enter. read more

Wedding cake was beautiful, arrived to venue on time, decorated on site :). The taste was very light and not too sweet. Highly recommend!

Their cakes are light and that's what i love about it. Plus the price,location and staff. I came here to get a cake with some pastries and everything was super good. They serve hot house-brewed Peets Coffee! And oh,staff were super helpful. Loved the vibe! read more

I love baked goods but am still trying to get a handle on the way Koreans do them. I've heard about Q, the spongy slightly gummy consistency that Koreans consider perfect. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's just a little odd.... at least to this White Boy. (I hear the same word is used to describe the consistency of breasts. Never would have made that connection. Think it's pretty funny.) I ordered a few pastries and a blended latte and was immediately scared. While the girl walked over and studied the instructions to make a blended latte I had a few minutes to begin dreading the result. Five minutes later I received my drink and gingerly took a sip. Wow, pretty darn good. I think she'd mixed a little malted milk in there. It was a wonderful surprise. Oh and they have an escalator for people and another, parallel one for shopping carts. The shopping cart escalator only goes up. I guess to send them back down you're supposed to pick the cart up, above your head and hurl it down the escalator. Awesome. read more

I like their products and buy my bread at Galeria Market all the time. I like their gourmet sandwich box which is $9.00. To my disappointment, I bought a day old sandwich box more than once. If they sell a day old sandwiches, it should be discounted. I hate eating a day old sandwiches! read more

I told one of my yelp assistants that I didn't want a whole cake so he surprised me with 4 slices of cake from Cafe House for my birthday. I've always been a fan of Cake House @ KTown. I was so happy when Galleria Market opened and a Cake House was "housed" there too. My cakes were pretty and tasty, light and airy. Sweet Potato Cake: This was my favorite from them all. Now I know why Koreans like to eat sweet potato cake. Sweet potato taste wasn't too overpowering but just enough to give you that extra oomph to the cake. It was decorated with blueberry, raspberry, whipped cream and sweet potato chip. Alhambra: I think it had some crunchiness to it. I did like it a lot. Earl Grey Chocolate: Earl grey combined with chocolate is heavenly. I liked this cake. Yum!! Gateau Framboise: so pretty and it was pretty good. Sweet and tangy!! See the picture: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/O4Jn9Khwvdn5o2gJNXRxZw?select=_rcYlJPYJr_Rw2ZTBs0amg I went to check out the bakery a month after that and got my favorite cream breads. This place also sells Ice Bar just like the other Cake Houses. 4 stars!! Cake House is yummylicious!! read more

I like pastries and breads ( I love carbs). I tend to steer to French/European, and Korean ones. Reason why I like Korean pastries and breads is mainly because they are not super sweet (compared to the Chinese ones). Also, in my opinion, presentation is more refined, and they tend to use better ingredients (ex. cream) compared to the Chinese ones. But they also tend to be more expensive. Understandable. Also give it a 4-star because it was an unexpected neighbourly gift! Thank you! read more

There appears to be no place to get a decent cup of coffee in this Korean Galleria. The coffee here is only slightly better than the Tom N Toms next door (like literally, they share a wall - they are like 10 steps from each other). There were some tasty looking pastries but not being Korean, I had no idea what was what and help was not forthcoming. And even getting anyone's attention so I could order the not so great coffee was a chore. Still, if you're at this particular shopping destination for some reason (I'm guessing it's because you actually are Korean), this is the best coffee bet I've found in the building. But that isn't saying much. read more

Bought their mocha cake and O-M-G ! It was hands down the best. Not a big fan of cake but it was my mom's bday and geez, that thing was delicious. It was not your average cake for sure. It was so spongy and the whipped cream was extra whipped. There's non left over... Definitely reccomend. They also sell slices of each cake. Therefore, the "mango mango" is next on my list. read more

This is located inside the Korean Galleria on the first floor level. They have a variety of pastries and cakes. I personally like the soboro bread without the filling, I've also had the sausage bread, also delicious. If your not sure about which to pick simply read the back and it tells you all the ingredients which is especially useful for this lactose intolerant yelper. It's best to bring cash since most of all the pastries are under $2.00 and you need to spend more than $10 worth to use your debit/credit card. read more

Cake House - Soboro bun, no filling. Taste just like pan dulce. - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Is your office having a potluck? Get Soboro bread, which is $1 each. Soboro is Korean pan dulce, which resembles the conche bread. Savory options include curry croquettes (look for black sesame seeds) I get the savory options like tuna croquette. I wish they had veggie bread with caramelized onions. (Sigh). read more

Nice buns, fresh bread, but no cupcakes in shape of animals, and I saw so many pictures with them! Just came there, saw nothing, asked the cashier: "we don't sell them, or maybe in a different location". Man, that's very frustrating. Buns are tasty though, especially the butter buns. Cacao and regular. The cakes are damn expensive. Better get one at whole foods for less and bigger in size. read more

I get all my bday cakes here & everybody loves the way it taste....it's light & not too sugary (all korean cakes are light & not too sugary) but i love this place cuz it's also close to me (not around the corner close but close enough). The price is outrageous but nowadays everywhere & everything is outrageous. Also the breads there is DELICIOUS especially the red bean. I haven't tasted everything but the breads I did.....were PERFECT. read more

The cutest bakery ever. They make amazing tiered cakes for special occasions. They have their cakes in display so you can see their different designs. They also have fresh bread every day. I prefer getting these loaves then the supermarket ones. They are larger and just taste better. I love making sandwiches out of these. read more

Bread for toasts costs 6 dollars but texture and taste just not quite worth 6 dollars for one third of loaf.

Nice bakery, good people, very good collection of cakes, buns, bread, rolls. They make them fresh. Try the butter bun. Its delicious and creamy. I will come back. Hopefully they will have some stuff left. Usually they go pretty fast. They have free parking. There is a market next to it. Overall nice place. read more

It was my first time at a Cake House and I was impressed with how pretty their cakes looked. I ALMOST bought myself a slice of the beautifully-made tiramisu, but held back. Spent only $2 here for some hodo kwaja ($1/3 cakes), which are these small walnut-shaped red bean cakes (with real walnuts on top!) and a sesame bread ($1). I always get a sesame bead bc they have a nice chewy texture that I can't get enough of! The girls at the counter aren't as friendly as I was expecting and they don't really greet you. Not sure what is up with the attitude and I've noticed other reviews have complained about their customer service skills too. read more

This tiramisu cake turned me into a cake lover! Love it. Only con is that they sell it a bit frozen. Hence, the tip is to sit it out for a bit for the cake to become soft. The cake tasted a lot better the next day. read more

Dear Korean Teenager Working Behind The Counter on Christmas Eve 2011: May I make a suggestion? Making sour faces and answering simple questions should not be annoying. There is no communication problem. You just need to be reminded that Customer Service makes the sale. Me and my friend were on the hunt for French Macarons. They could be purchased at Dessert Haus and 'Lette Macarons. We left your venue empty-handed and offended. Later that day, my friend purchased ten at Dessert Haus and I purchased twenty-four at 'Lette Macarons. Patience is a Virtue and Makes the Sale. Sincerely, Facebook Foodie read more

Everything is pretty good! I sampled a bunch of the cream filled cakes but the best..THE BEST!! In my opinion is their honey toast. Comes in two pieces and resembles french toast. That alone receives 5 stars! Not too sweet but has enough goodness to cure the sweet tooth and have you craving more! read more

Yay! A Cake House near me! This one, like the other Cake House, is located inside the Galleria Market. It's a small bakery but it boasts a diverse selection of baked goods -- from savory to sweet pastries, loaves of bread, and a variety of cakes. The cream they use to fill their bread is light, smooth, and subtly sweet. The bread itself is baked fresh and is light and fluffy. I haven't tried their cakes just yet, but they're all really pretty. Their mini-cakes range from $1.50 - $2.00 and their macaroons are $1.50. They have a variety of Korean donuts by the register for $1 - $1.25. Basically, everything seems decently priced although I think their loaves of bread are pretty steep at $4.50/loaf. Oh well, what can you do . . . I'm a fan of their cream loaves. They have a minimum of $10 for all credit/debit purchases. read more

Best ice cakey (ice cream bars) ever. They are pricey. It's a small bar for over a dollar. However, it's so creamy, when you eat it, you wonder where all the moisture is coming from. I believe you get a slight discount if you buy them by the box. I highly recommend the coffee ice cream bar. It tastes like a creamier version of a frappucino. All the flavors are really good, though. read more

This place has some super delicious sweets. I am a big fan of Japanese/Korean sweets. I like the lighter taste and the fact that they aren't as toothnumbingly sweet as American desserts. They have a few counters with baskets of individually wrapped sweets. This is nice touch since you can grab and go and take some home for later. I got the coffee bun (I think that's the name) and it was AMAZING. I should have bought two. The roll cake was ok, a little too much filling for my liking. I also ordered a latte which was superb. The barista was friendly and prompt with service. This is a great alternative to going to Tom N Toms right next door. Can't wait to try something new on my next visit! read more

I got some sweets to take home and snack on in the AM for breakfast. almond thin cookies - these were actually pretty tasty purple mochi with peanuts - this actually went bad on the edges. It was already tangy. Mochi ball with bean filling - this was decent, but the paste was a bit grainy. Meh. Normally the mochi type things are my favorite things to get, but maybe that's not what to get here. I wanted hodo kwaja but they were already out by the time I was here in the evening. Maybe I'll try something else next time. read more

This is a 3.5 star review; 4 star review coming down due to lack of attention of the clerk. I ordered a green tea roll cake, and asked a clerk to keep it refrigerated for a half and hour while I took care of some other business. He said he would do that (and he did). When I came back to ask for the cake, somehow the same clerk was not very friendly and almost threw the cake at me. So I was a little pissed, but just let it go. Anyway, the cake was pretty good. Aside from that incident, I would recommend the quality of this place. read more

I work in Koreatown so I came here few times. I just think this place is way, way over priced. And the pastry aren't even that good either. I prefer Paris Baguette much better. Prices are about the same but quality and quantity is much better. Taste better too. Also, Cake House's services aren't that great either. Everybody working there seem over-worked, and I've never seen anybody smile here. This place probably could use new and better management. The place kinda sucks. read more

I've yet to try the cake at Cake House. Cakes are more of the special occasion variety but the individually-wrapped breads boasting various toppings such as sausage, chestnuts, creams and sweet red bean are reminiscent of the sweet weekly highlights of a childhood in Korea. These French-cum-Japanese/Chinese-inspired treats at Cake House are some of the best I've tried in America, with pillowy-soft dough and conservatively sweetened fillings. The sweet breads are more sophisticated with a good balance of flavors. Surprising favorites were the cream-filled buns, surprising because I always gravitate towards the name and am almost without-fail disappointed by the toughness of the bread and the sweet, pastiness of the cream. The oblong chocolate bun is slightly bitter and even more slightly sweet, the texture of a cloud. Soft, subtly chocolate buttercream sweetens the deal. The cream in the round French has a delicate, cheesy tang, and the moist bun is topped with a streusel crumb. Straddling the sweet and savory, the sweet rice bun (it's a common treat in Korea almost marrying Dutch crunch with mochi-- a hollow, crispy-chewy roll flecked with black sesame seeds) was, pleasantly, far more savory and crunchy on the exterior than others I have tried. Soboro bread, an old-school treat in Korea (think a more organically-formed pineapple bun) that seems to be waning in popularity these days, was one of the best I've had in the past decade. The roll is always bland and a bit tougher and drier with this type of pastry, but Cake House's managed to be just airy enough to save it. Their sugar topping was delicate and abundant, offering a lot of textural contrast and complementing the bread well. I really wish I lived near a Cake House. It's probably better that I don't, but their execution and range is impressive for even this K-pastry aficionado. Be sure to sample some of these great breads, which, at around $1-$5 a pop, is a far smaller commitment than their cakes (which I'm sure are wonderful). read more

I bought a fruit cake to take to a BBQ at boyfriend's. They didn't have a lot of variety in terms of cake (in fact, they had run out of a cake I was looking for, so I decided to get the fruit cake instead). There were two cake sizes- $25 and $30. I bought the slightly larger $30 cake. It came with a plastic knife that had 4 tiny forks attached. In the handle of the knife, there were 2 long matches. We totally ahhh'ed and oooh'ed over that :) Cake had a pretty presentation though it had a little side dent from the box (I can't tell if it was because of how the cake was packaged or because of my clumsiness-probably the latter). Overall the cake (at least the one that I got) was yummy. The cake and the frosting were not overwhelmingly sweet and the cake itself was also very moist and fluffly. I will be coming back here for birthdays and gifts. read more
