Nutella Cream Cake
Ginnie P.

I came by today to purchase a cake for a co-worker's birthday with high hopes from all the great reviews and ended up leaving with a $70 cake that fell apart with every slice. It has potential because the flavor was good but, the layer of cream was thick and solid, the cake was dry so it kept falling apart as I was trying to cut pieces for everyone. Not worth the $70 unfortunately. I'm disappointed to say the least, I really wanted to like this place.

Always fresh pastry every day... each week something different and delicious. Great selection and service, of course. Nice family run business.

I needed a distinctive birthday cake. I checked Lido. The counterperson gave me good recommendations. I decided on a beautiful Almond Rocco chocolate cake. It looked great and tasted even better. Highly recommended.

This heart shaped vintage style cake was a huge hit!

We ordered a white cake with raspberry and white chocolate mousse filling from Lido Bakery, and it was an absolute hit! Everyone loved it -- perfectly moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The cake turned out larger than expected (a wonderful surprise!) and was beautifully decorated, even though I didn't get a chance to take a photo of it whole before it disappeared. You can really taste the quality and care they put into their work. I'll definitely be ordering from Lido again for future celebrations!

this past february, i wanted to do something special to celebrate my boyfriend's late mother, alma rosa, on her birthday, 2/28. she passed away 11 years ago, and they were incredibly close. her sudden death was really hard, and i wanted to honor her memory in a meaningful way. when she was alive, they used to celebrate her birthday as a family with sweet lady jane's famous triple berry cake. my plan was to get that same cake for him, but i was heartbroken to learn the bakery had announced it was going out of business. determined to find a way, i started researching and stumbled upon an article that mentioned lido bakery in manhattan beach. to my surprise, i learned they're actually the original creators of the triple berry cake! it's a small, family-owned bakery, and i knew i had to get it from there. the morning of her birthday, i left work (with my best friend as my partner in crime) and made the trip from santa monica to manhattan beach. before heading out, i called the bakery and found out they had just one cake left. i begged them to hold it and raced over. when we arrived, the staff was so kind and accommodating. we shared the story of why this cake was so important, and we were touched to learn the owner herself is the creator of this iconic recipe. the cake was simple yet perfect. the gentleman helping us even offered to write alma rosa's name on it. with a little nudge from my friend, i agreed--and it turned out beautifully. we also picked up fresh red roses & baby's breath on the way home, as red roses always remind my boyfriend of his mother. it felt like everything fell into place--it was truly meant to be. that day was filled with so many special signs that alma rosa was with us, helping to brighten my boyfriend's day. the cake was not only delicious, but it carried so much love and meaning. it's now a tradition--my boyfriend insists we get the cake from lido bakery every year on her birthday. see you in february! thank you, lido bakery, for being part of such a heartfelt moment. your care, kindness, and incredible triple berry cake will always hold a special place in our hearts.

my beautiful berries and cream birthday cake!

delicious berries and cream cake. the sponge was so soft and flavorful, cream was light and not too sweet. the fruit were all so fresh and placed nicely within the cake. easy to preorder the cake online a few days before my party! really one of the best places for a birthday cake out there :)

Lido Bakery is the go to for all things lovely in cakes and pastries!!!If you want intricately designed slices of flavorful cake- Lido is it. I ordered two slices of cake a few days ago, and this quaint bakery never fails!! I have been here multiple times and this is customer service at its finest- bakery or cakery perfection!!!All bakery items are fresh and tasty, and the owner is so welcoming and takes pride in pastrycreativity, show stopping desserts and pastries!!! The order- berries and cream cake and dulce de leche cake!!! All I can say is try it for yourself, both slices of cake are truly phenomenal!! Both cakes were light, moist, with additions of fruit or a gracious layer of dulce de leche!!! The cost of cake slices are slightly expensive, but hey, you get what you pay for. You can easily get three slices out of each cake slice. Cheers to Lido for your delicious dedication to all things cake and baked goods!!!

I work for Southwest Airlines and a passenger bag unfortunately didn't make it.. once we let her know her bag made it she was so grateful; SO GRATEFUL SHE BOUGHT US A BOX OF THESE DELICIOUS THREATS. Listen Everyone in the office was smiling from ear to ear. I had the chocolate chip cookie, it was so moist! Not to sweet and had a good amount of chocolate chips: We all literally closed the office doors, we each grabbed a goody and listened to "So This Is Love" while we all smiled and enjoyed our sweet treats. Very short lived moment but very enjoyable. Not sure what everything was, but one pasty had cheese in it (I think, and it too was delicious). They all were super moist, not a pastry left. 10/10

WOW! Ernesto does it right again. Ordered a Nutella cake for hubby's 60th celebration. It was the wow factor at the party. Not only was it delicious, but carefully crafted. Thank you Ernesto and Lido.

Nicest bakery and delicious cakes!

The staff here is so nice and the most delicious cakes !! Done 4 orders and they always exceeded expectations :)

Lemon bars & brownies and other things that we so desperately need!
Erin T.

This bakery is so magical and all us locals know it! I pop in from time to time to get the Dulce De Leche sandwich cookies and I always leave with much more than those. It's self care at this point!

Stuff your face!!! Best bakery in Manhattan Beach. The cream puffs!!!! Enough said! Ever since we moved to Simi Valley, this place is one of the reasons we go back time and time again! Everything was delightfully delicious.
