For a recent birthday, Karen (the owner) herself delivered two cakes and said, "When it's this important, I always hand-deliver!" The pastries and coffee are also wonderful. You just can't go wrong with anything at Copenhagen Pastry! It's a wonderful business owned by kind people who care about the quality of their cakes and pastries. They're magician bakers and they deserve ten stars! We're so lucky to have them in LA.

I've tried venturing out to try their other stuff, and it's all delicious, but I keep coming back for the mango and pistachio. I like how each pastry you purchase you also get a free macaron.

I have been on this pastry journey for 6 months trying to find these fruit like pastries. I told my…read moredaughter when I was coming to L.A. to find the best place near her place. She took me here. The place was very clean and tidy with a lot of different types of sweet treats. I was there for one thing only. I did ask the gal working if they were made that day and she said yes. We ordered a raspberry, an orange, a coffee bean and the popular mango. This was my 2nd time trying these and our hopes were high BUT the raspberry was just awful the filling was strange and it had just raspberry jam inside,I dint eat it. The mango was okay so we shared that. The coffee bean was just awful as well so we didn't finish that either. The orange was the best of the group but overall just a disappointing experience once again because these are not cheap. I'm starting to think I might just have to give up my journey to find these although there are some places in Vegas that look promising. I don't think Reno has any bakeries that make these. They look so beautiful but the taste is a let down.

In complete honesty, everything was average tasting EXCEPT the Jambon Beurre sandwich. Even though…read moreit was just ham and butter, it was specifically French Isigny butter from Normandy.

Heavily saddened to hear that this ambitious project and love letter to L.A. history is closing…read morethis weekend. Chef Yang Soon began developing the reimagined classic Helms Bakery twelve years ago but could not have anticipated the huge changes that were to hit the dining landscape with the Covid pandemic. The decline of going out / dining out, changes in spending habits and the rise of delivery services made this Art Deco styled concept bakery financially unsustainable. Helms has a fascinating history. In 1932 their bread, Olympic Bread, was declared the official bread of the Olympic Games. This led to worldwide recognition. Delivery wagons, or coaches, brought bread, doughnuts and other baked goods to Angelenos' homes with their slogan, "Daily at Your Door." Helms was the bread that astronauts in Apollo 11 took to the moon. World Famous. I've sampled many items in my several visits (driving all the way to Culver City from the SF Valley.) *Breakfast burrito, $14 *Prosciutto/Persimmon sandwich, $17 *Coffee Cake, $5 *Cherry Pie slice, $12 *Nutella-stuffed cookie, $7 *Oat & Medjool Date cookie, $4.50 *Corn & Caramel cookie, $5 *Pistachio & chocolate cookie, $7 *Pecan Molasses, $5 On previous visits: *Olive Oil Cake *Corn Cake All of the above were made with high-quality ingredients, and thus sold at a high price point. All well-crafted and extremely delicious in my opinion. I will miss this place tremendously. I sincerely hope that Chef makes good on opening a Helms bakery in another location in the near future. I'll drive across town for that! R.I.P Helms original, 1931 - 1969 Helms reimagined, November 2024 / December 14, 2025

Bakery located in Culver City along a busy part of Washington Blvd. People are really friendly here…read moreand very helpful. The vibe here is pretty chill, but it can't get a little busy because of its popularity. They have a really good selection of different baked goods and they're really efficient going through the line. I came in and bought a small box of pastries and they were so delicious. Really flaky where you want the pastries to be flaky. I really enjoyed what I ordered.

I got ham and cheese croissant, mocha latte, and The Works Salmon Bagel. Everything we got was super delicious! Lots of space inside and outside. So if you have a dog, they can relax in outdoor seating. I saw people working with their laptop too. Also the person who was helping us was super nice. We're already planning to go back soon. My boyfriend loved this place so much! It's also vegan friendly. They have lots of vegan friendly options.

This place is my new favorite breakfast / brunch place…read more I've been exploring their menu and my favorites have become the following which also aligns to their most popular dishes. Pastrami Sammie (sandwich) Softest, thick, & juicy slices of pastrami) Salame Rosa (sandwich) Delicious salami, arugula, & mozzarella cheese but today they swapped it on the menu with ricotta & I said, "Yes, please!" Ricotta & Jam Toast This speaks for itself. Just a yummy combination. Avocado Toast Comes thickly layered with chunky avocado bits and elegantly layered with the almost translucently sliced thin circled radishes that is decorated in a beautiful row on top...delish! There is plenty of seating inside and out. Inside has air conditioning. They also have a great selection on coffee, espresso, lattes, and more. You can't go wrong with whatever you decide to order. A must try!

I ordered an avocado toast with scrambled eggs on top and my friends got a fat pita and smoked salmon toast. I was pretty shocked by the sticker price of $3 for an extra egg but desperately wanted some protein. The avocado toast tasted great, the sourdough bread was thick and well toasted, the avocado was well seasoned giving the fat a nice balance of salt and acid. The one odd thing was all the drinks we ordered came in glass with large cracks in them. They looked a bit risky to drink out of since it looked like it could shatter if you're not careful. Luckily the servers were really nice and replaced them for us. We had a great time overall, but I just think it's a bit pricey for what you're getting.

I don't eat pies and cookies often, but when I do crave one, I want one from here. Their key lime is one of the best I've had with the perfect amount of tart flavor and cream. They're also one of the few places I've found an excellent rhubarb pie which is a weakness of mine. The cookies are also decadent and super reasonably priced compared to some other cookie spots in LA (ask for it warm, especially if it's chocolate chip - the cookie to chocolate ratio is sublime). The cafe itself is also super cute and cozy and I've never had trouble finding parking. I'm so glad I found this spot.

The coffee is delicious and the pies are great. I didn't especially love the breakfast sandwich which I just thought was way too sweet but I think with a few little tweaks would be great. They definitely sell out of things at the end of the day so go early. The cookies are good but just not for me they're way too sweet. But again that's just a personal preference. Service was fine they weren't the most outgoing but they accommodated me placed my order as they should. Nothing outstanding but also nothing terrible

Sad to see an underwhelming selection available compared to what pictures previously showed…read more Assuming that it's because they're inside the bar now. Since it's quite loud inside it was difficult to communicate about our selections, but service was friendly.

Definitely appreciative for the availability of gluten free treats, even with a limited selection.

Cuisine: Bakery, with select gluten-free desserts. Price: Affordable/cheap. Restrooms: Not sure since indoor dining isn't available.

Sinners & Saints Desserts offers a splurge for a luscious dessert, yet scrumptious for those that need gluten-free treats. Be mindful that their kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free one, but precautions are taken to minimize cross contamination. I used to work in the area & came across this bakery, but never got around to trying them out. Since my daughter's birthday was coming up, I thought about trying them out since their desserts were beautifully displayed... they should taste good, right? I ordered the current favorite flavor: red velvet, & asked if they could decorate it with pink flowers & birthday message in red. The cake looks plain with just 3 pink roses, but the birthday cursive was pretty good; however, for the price, it wasn't worth eating a super dry cake. Our family of 4 barely ate 1/3, & tried giving it away to our neighbors, who were also unimpressed. The Smack Pie was supposedly a decadent chocolate lover's sinful treat. It was meh... the ganache wasn't silky-smooth but did taste fudgy, the caramel was hard, & the peanuts were stale. We did enjoy the Banana Cream & Lemon Blueberry Tarts to offset the very dry birthday cake. Luckily, I bought these to compensate for the cake so the birthday girl was happy in the end. Sinners & Saints Desserts sounds like a deliciously tempting bakery but some of their goods miss the mark. I don't think I'll be purposely sinning here much. Recommended: Lemon Blueberry & Banana Cream Tarts.

If you never been here before, you missing out! I come here…read morewhen I'm craving a breakfast out with pancakes. One of my favorite pancakes! It's a breakfast/brunch place with their own bakery goods, coffees and teas. The baked goods are super yummy. They offer "healthier" options too. They have limit outdoor seating incase you have your dog with you as well. It's a smaller dining area with mixed single tables or groups. The staff is friendly and helpful and your food is served in timely fashion. They serve seasonal meals and baked goods and specials too. Dine in or take out, just be sure to make it on time. This place closes early due to the focus is more breakfast/brunch. You will find parking around the neighborhood pretty easy. They are located in the Mar Vista area in West LA. Come and try it out, please try their pancakes!

It's a mid neighborhood bakery. I've been here about 5-7x and it's pretty consistent…read more The baked goods are not bad. Again for a neighborhood bakery it's probably a staple... And for example, much better croissants exist nearby at other coffee shops. My biggest pet leave is the no give a f@#_! service here. I don't know if it's their outdated model or what, but everytime I'm here you stand there waiting around for minutes without being greeted or helped. Today it felt so petty. My wife ordered an iced matcha latte with 1 pump of vanilla. We got charged $1.25 for 1 pump of vanilla. Great if you're nearby and walkable, otherwise there are much better places in the Mar Vista area.

The…read moreinterior was small, but they've definitely been able to pack a lot of variety in a small place. The employees there are super nice and sweet. You feel at ease right when you enter. That being said, I've been on a trip for an authentic French baguette since my trip to Paris a couple of years ago. I think I've finally found it! A traditional authentic French baguette is made with a poolish, but many bakeries around LA use a levain in their baguettes. While baguettes made with levains yield a delicious sourdough flavor, but a baguette made with poolish produces a sweet, complex yet simple, nutty flavor. It's sooo good! My only wish is a more crusty outer layer, but nothing a toaster can't fix! I also picked up a kouign-amann and pecan cookie. Both were very yummy! You know what else is great? The prices! my baguette, cookie, and pastry was $13 including a 18% tip. Honestly, something like that would cost closer to $20 at other bakeries. Overall, this place is worth a visit! Check it out.
