Their Café Oaxaca is soooo good -- and that's saying something because I'm not even a coffee drinker lol. Somehow they converted me, at least temporarily. I'm also a huge fan of their chipotle bacon and egg breakfast biscuit. It's super tasty, but I will say you'll probably want a drink with it because the bread can be a little on the dry side. Still delicious though. Now let's talk about their chocolate-filled croissant... I'm obsessed. If you know me, you know I'm a SUCKER for croissants. Wee wee It's flaky, chocolatey, and exactly what I want in the morning. Their conchas are also really good and definitely worth grabbing. One thing I really love about this place that most people might not know is that they let you take their used coffee grounds for gardening. I've actually used them on my grass and, not gonna lie, it's helped it grow tremendously. So not only am I leaving with pastries, I'm apparently leaving with lawn care supplies too lol. Overall, great little spot for coffee, pastries, and breakfast. I'll definitely keep stopping by on my morning drop-offs.

Fast forward to today (2026), and we're still supporting this local business with the same appreciation. Now that my grandparents are older and can't get to the bakery as often, Duran's has become part of our routine. My dad always stops by on his way home to Whittier--often after jobs in LA, Echo Park, or West LA--passing through Pico Rivera to pick up my grandfather's favorite elote and my grandmother's favorite tortuga. When I visit my parents in Whittier, I make it a point to stop here too--bringing pan dulce for my grandparents in Pico Rivera before heading over. The quality has remained consistently great over the years: fresh, traditional, and made with care. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming--you're consistently greeted with a warm hello, which makes every visit feel familiar and genuine. Duran's isn't just a bakery--it's part of our family history, and we're grateful it's still here. Duran's ha sido un pilar para nuestra familia por generaciones. Mi papá creció en Pico Rivera a finales de los años 60, y siempre venían aquí por el pan dulce. Hoy, en 2026, seguimos apoyando este negocio local con el mismo cariño. Ahora que mis abuelos ya son mayores y no pueden venir tan seguido, Duran's sigue siendo parte de nuestra rutina. Mi papá siempre pasa cuando va de regreso a Whittier--muchas veces después de trabajos en LA, Echo Park o West LA--para comprarle a mi abuelo su elote favorito y a mi abuela su tortuga. Cuando yo regreso al este del condado de Los Ángeles para visitar a mis papás en Whittier, también paso por Duran's para llevar pan dulce a mis abuelos en Pico Rivera. La calidad siempre es excelente: pan fresco, tradicional y hecho con dedicación. Además, el personal siempre es muy amable y atento--desde que entras te reciben con una bienvenida cálida que hace que cada visita se sienta especial y familiar. Duran's no es solo una panadería--es parte de nuestra historia familiar.

I recently visited a bakery called "El Maná" and was greeted by the delicious aroma of freshly baked goods. All of my questions were answered by the owner, who was amiable and helpful. Numerous cakes, sweet breads, and pastries were on show at the shop. Carrot cake, red velvet, chocolate cake, quesadilla, and a slice of tres leches were my purchases. The slices of cakes were amazing and delicious . The bakery has a warm, inviting atmosphere with seating places where customers could enjoy their sweets. The portion sizes were ample and the prices were fair considering the quality of the food. I'd definitely come back. read more

I've been coming to this bakery ever since my husband first introduced me to it, and I can't say enough good things! The owners are some of the sweetest and kindest people you'll ever meet. My very first cake from them was a small gender reveal cake, and they made it absolutely perfect. Since then, they have continued to amaze me with their talent and attention to detail. Every cake they create is not only beautiful but also delicious. I truly appreciate their dedication and the care they put into their work. Thank you for always making our special moments even sweeter! read more

They…read moreweren't able to go over the menu on the phone and said I would need to come in to see what was available. They also mentioned that their display case was broken, so everything was being kept in the back, which made it a little difficult to know what the options were before getting there. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how HOT it was. There didn't seem to be any AC, and it was honestly uncomfortable. For a bakery with cakes and pastries, I was also a little surprised and wondering how everything stays fresh in that kind of heat. I ended up getting a chocolate chip cookie, a slice of Funfetti cake, and a slice of Grandma's Chocolate Cake. The Funfetti was definitely the standout -- super moist and really good. The chocolate cake was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. I haven't tried the cookie yet, so TBD on that one. Overall, the Funfetti was good, but the experience itself could use some improvement, especially with the lack of AC and not being able to easily see or understand what was available.

Not only was the design exactly what I wanted, the taste was phenomenal and even tastier than my previous bakery. I got so many compliments on the cake (taste) and they use fresh fruit instead of preserves which I appreciate. We ordered the lemon cake with lemon & cream cheese lemon curd and fresh raspberries. Delish! For my daughter's smash cake we did white velvet cake with cream cheese and strawberries. Unfortunately, my daughter did not eat her smash cake with two attempts, but fortunately that left more cake for me & my family . By the way, I priced several bakeries and home bakers, and Blue Cake House along with the others were all roughly the same price. Some were more expensive by $40 and some were less by $20, so I would say their pricing is competitive. I paid $40 for a smash cake, where as Amy's Pastry charges $16 but they add fees for every little thing such as fruit, colored frosting, etc. Plus, they are limited on cake flavors & fillings. Blue Cake House is a small business and I like to support smaller businesses. Their cakes taste amazing and will not disappoint. I will definitely be using Blue Cake House for my future orders!
