Very professionally run bakery with excellent selections and quality bakery goods. I would highly recommend Lido Bakery.

This was one of the best cakes I've ever ordered in a long time! This little shop is my bf's favorite cake shop to purchase almost all of his family's special occasion cakes from! This year I went with the strawberries, blackberries and cream combo for HIS birthday since that's exactly what he wanted and believe me we were NOT disappointed! Not only did the owner answer me phone call right away! He was also very patient and understanding about my specific instructions on how I wanted the cake to look and be made. He had no problem with the time frame AND the special instructions! The amount paid for this cake was TOTALLY worth it! $70 for a 15-20 person cake! NOT BAD! The taste was EXACTLY how my bf imagined it! AND THE DECORATING WAS CUTE! all round spot on cake! THANK YOU LIDO BAKERY! I'm convinced to come back for my OWN birthday now! read more

Lido Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Worth the drive from Hollywood to Manhattan Beach! We were great fans of the old Sweet Lady Jane and many of the cakes they made back when Jane Lockhart actually ran SLJ can be found here at prices reasonable for the quality. My husband was thrilled with his chocolate fudge birthday cake, which he hadn't had in years. Beautifully decorated and as delicious as he remembered it. Ernesto was lovely to work with and packed the cake in a way that ensured it would survive the long trip on the freeway intact. We will be back for sure! read more

After a horrid experience with Becker's bakery, I discovered Lido Bakery!! I called Lido with a last minute order and found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. The cake I received exceeded my expectations and my mother was VERY HAPPY!!! The cake was delicious and a work of art! Lido will be my go to bakery for future custom orders. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to support a small local business in Manhattan Beach. Thanks Lido!!! read more

Lido Bakery - Coconut cake with yellow rosettes!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Tucked in a small strip mall across the street from Ralph's in Manhattan Beach, Lido Bakery could be THE BEST BAKERY IN LOS ANGELES. I used to come in specifically for the amazing Cinnamon Rolls (that SELL OUT each day so you know). But the care and artistry that Ernesto puts into every BIRTHDAY CAKE and WEDDING CAKE at Lido Bakery is unsurpassed--and NOT at Los Angeles Bakery prices! Ernesto used to be the pastry chef at Sweet Lady Jane and I hear that people come to Lido Bakery from all over LA just for his Berries and Cream layer cake!!! Have you tried the FLAN and KEY LIME PIE here? You can just order a slice if you'd like. When you walk in the store you'll see in the fridge to your left all of that day's birthday cakes and wedding cakes. And you'll be sold too! I LOVE THIS PLACE (can you tell???)!!! read more

This bakery is superb! The owner inclusive was able to do scones for me without adding sugar, all natural. The quality of the pastries are exceptional. I keep going back and never dissapointed. read more

Amazing customer service and amazing cake! Where do I begin!!! My daughter celebrated her bday today and since her favorite bakery is closed right now, she asked for a Nutella Cake from Lido's Bakery. I didn't place an order simply because I am new to the bakery. When I got there I asked for the cake but Ernesto told me that I had to place an order for the specialty cake. Saddened to hear that, I told him that this cake was the one thing my daughter was looking forward to since everything else is closed due to the lockdown. Then Ernesto mentioned a Nutella Cake he made for a customer for tomorrow, but offered it to me and said I will make another one!!!! Wow! I was truly amazed and blown away by his kindness! He then quickly iced the cake and said "this one was meant for her!" So, THANK YOU ERNESTO! My daughter loved the cake and it truly was very delicious!!! You saved our day!!! read more

Where have I been? My sister ordered a cake from here and it was so good. I decided to order one for my husband and the gentleman working suggested the berries and cream and it was a hit. I also bought other pastries and they we're so good. read more

What terrible customer service. The guy we spoke to on the phone was probably the rudest person ever. We asked to order a small cake to ideally pick up Sunday and laughed at us and said you should look at our business hours. I would highly recommend giving your business to another bakery that appreciates their customers. read more

This is one extraordinary bakery. I have never witnessed the detailed cake imitations of whatever a person wants to have duplicated onto a cake. Picture a can of soda in Revere out of which is pouring liquid into the cake all of it is cake. If you scroll down far enough on the pictures of this website at Lido bakery you'll see the masterpiece among so many others then Ernesto fellonsuela has created. Extraordinary does not give full appreciation for what it is you see. Just look yourself, visit the bakery, sample anything, and draw your conclusion. read more

We stopped in at this bakery on Saturday, July 27th for the first time at about 2:30PM. We had not previously heard about this place; however, just wanted something to take to a potluck. We actually found out about it by doing a Yelp search. It is a small bakery, and we were pleasantly surprised by the super friendly and personal service. It looks like they do a lot of business related to custom cakes; however, there are also pastries, tarts, etc for purchase. We got a variety of pastries to-go, and every single thing that we tasted was just excellent. Oh my gosh, although everything was great -- we had one of the best chocolate cupcakes we have ever had -- from this bakery. Anyway, although we don't get over to Manhattan Beach much, this is definitely a place I would recommend that you try. read more

Wonderful local bakery. Not only are the baked goods beautiful they are soooo delicious! If you have a special order, give Ernesto enough time , so order with enough notice to be properly scheduled. Highly recommend. read more

Great, tasty cakes. Specially, the fresh fruit cakes. So yummy !!! Friendly service read more

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly! I give this business 1/2 a point. THE GOOD I've written several Yelp reviews in the past and I usually keep an open mind and write a fair review when I visit a business. We were looking for bakery who can make a birthday cake for a 12 boy. Nothing fancy , just 6" vanilla cake on the inside with chocolate frosting on the outside. The design was simple with number 12 with an image from the Robot game that kids play. The birthday was 2 weeks away so it would have given them time to complete our order. THE BAD The lady at the counter took our order and went to the back to ask the baker. This Hispanic guy (baker) walks out and appears to be stressed. Instead of saying something like , "I'm sorry this is a busy season for wedding cakes, I cannot make birthday cakes at this time". We would have understood. THE UGLY Instead, He spoke loud enough for the 2 customers who were seated at their tables to hear. " This is a busy season for weddings and I make $175 or more for wedding cakes". " I don't have the time to make a custom birthday cake for a 12 year old boy". "I'm not going to waste my time of 2 hours when I can make more money with wedding cakes!" Translation: I make more money on wedding cakes so I could afford to be greedy and not waste any time for a 12 year old boy who only wants a birthday cake. Thank You Mr Baker for making my mind up about your business. I will never step inside your business again! The 2 years of Covid lockdown didn't teach this business anything. It's the local customer that supports local businesses during the bad times. Sadly, they didn't learn this lesson. read more

BEST CAKE EVER!!!!!! I came in as soon as they opened and ordered a cake for my coworker. The woman who helped me was the sweetest person ever. I had a specific styled cake in mind, and Lido's Bakery had exactly what I was looking for. Their cakes have a very unique style and endless choices of flavor! The cake I ordered was delicious and had lots of FRESH berries all over the cake. This is easily the best cake I have ever had. I have found my new bakery! read more

2020 1st review Another beautiful and delicious cake. It's Belle for my daughter's 3rd birthday. Many of the people are asking where this cake came from. Can't be happier with the quality of it. 2019 2nd review I got a photo from internet, and Lido delivered it perfectly!2019 Review Update I hope I can give Lido 100 stars if I can. Another great hit for my daughter's 2-year-old birthday! Photos worth for 100 I scheduled a cake smash photo shoot then start browsing the bakery which can make the cake I want. I came across Lido on Yelp and it didn't disappoint me. The looking was made for perfection! Don't mentioned that it's actually very delicious. My husband and I enjoyed the unsmashed cake after the photo shoot. It's worth every penny and thanks to Lido for the great memory for my daughter's first read more

An institution and the greatest bakery in town. Sweet Lady Jane copied their triple berry cake. Now they can take that business back fairly. Incredible cakes, cookies and such a treat to bring to any gathering. read more

The berry cake is phenomenal! A crowd-pleaser! Rich yet somehow light and airy. Highly recommend

The best pastries ever. Scones are delicious they are so good they sell out everyday! Try them they are delicious!

This bakery never disappoints! I really appreciate the time that was taken to take my order and listen to what I wanted specifically (: read more

Poor customer service- the box that the lady was going to put my cake in dropped on the ground and she attempted to still use it. I am shocked that she did not throw it away. I had to ask her to please use a new one. Also, it's obvious that she showed certain customers care than others. Not very good to all their paying customers. I like their triple berry cake- it the same recipe at SWEET LADY JANE's recipe. I believe the owner at Lido's use to work for Sweet Lady Jane's company... All in since Suzie Bakery was closed today- I didn't mind picking up a slice of cake at Lido Bakery. read more

We have been ordering cakes from Lido for almost 10 years. Yesterday I picked up an Italian Rum bday cake for my mom's 71st bday and was very sad to see that this time around, the cake was not up to par. There was easily an inch and a half of butter cream around all edges and top and an inch of buttercream into the cream layers. The cake itself was great but unfortunately almost half the cake was buttercream and left uneaten. This is obviously a way to scrimp and save on more costly ingredients and squeeze in as much of the cheaper buttercream as possible. read more

Lido Bakery - Excessive buttercream and much less actual cake than what he have had in the past - Bakeries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I'm giving Lido Bakery more than 5 stars! Just took a new Yelp friend here (Shout out to Terry K from Hawaii!) so she could try it. We tried the triple berry and the banana chocolate cakes! Both A+. Delish! Ernesto and his mom were again so friendly and welcomed us with open arms. I ordered a Princess Cake for the New Year's party! Can't wait to try it! This place rocks! Great quality cakes and super friendly service! read more

We were looking for a place to order our wedding cake. Came across this place on yelp. The artist - Ernesto- was very helpful. The cake is beyond delicious.

I came in here inquiry about a cake for my coworker's wedding shower. The young lady who helped me was very friendly and helpful. She raved about the berries & cream cake and gave me a sample. After that, I was immediately sold on the flavor! I ordered it on a Friday, and it was available for pickup by Monday. I got the $75 cake (which tax is already included) for 15 people. Oh man, the cake was amazing!!! I love the fresh fruits, the light cake, and the not-too-rich butter cream frosting. There was plenty of cake to go around the wrok place. We even had leftovers after people grabbed seconds. It was SO DAMN GOOD! I totally recommend this place. ALL my coworkers keep talking about this cake! Well worht every penny spent. read more

Lido Bakery - Berries & cream cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Their strawberry berry vanilla cake is so addicting. My friend and I ordered a slice of their cake and we finished it in a matter of seconds so we ordered a second lol. Cake was moist and full of whipped creme, strawberries, and blueberries read more

Lido bakery is a great find! Liked their cake selections and quality cookies. They are on the pricey side but their portions are generous. Their triple berry cake looks like SMJ triple berry but it taste much like Tres Leches Cake. For those who like tres leches cake, i am sure you'll like it. For me, i enjoy Tres Leches and Triple Berry but not a fusion. It was an interesting experience. read more

This is the place for delicious cakes and pastries. I like that I can pick up just a slice of cake at a time, which is generally enough for 2 people. My favorites are the fresh berry cake and the chocolate with fresh strawberries. I've tried their pear tart and love that as well. I hear their flan is good too! Their custom decorated cakes look awesome! read more

Their custom cakes are simply gorgeous! These ladies really know what they are doing and you can tell the years of experience they have under their belt, because they have really perfected the craft of not only pretty to look at, but also great tasting desserts. There are plenty of cakes available for immediate pick up or you can have them make you one to your specifications. The ones available fit all occasions and are much nicer than you would find at any grocery store, very tasteful and elegant. Perfect for an upcoming special occasion or birthday! read more

This is an amazing bakery! I ordered a beautiful berry cream cake for my son in LA and the owner Ernesto was extremely kind and generous on the phone with our special requests. Above and beyond kind service. The cake was moist and delicious and the decor beautiful. I highly recommend this bakery for anyone looking to support a local business, one that cares about its clients and uses fresh ingredients and an amazing selection of goods . read more

Lido Bakery - Berry cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Lido Bakery has to have some of the best cakes that I've ever tried. My sister used to work near Lido and would bring home slices of cake that she would get after work or for work. I was finally able to check out Lido for myself when I had to drop off my sister at her work. The bakery isn't very large, but they have a good selection of different cakes. Yes, it is pretty pricey, but the couple that I've tried have been absolutely delicious! I would have to say that my most favorite cake from here is the white chocolate raspberry. It's a vanilla cake with white frosting and shavings of white chocolate with fresh raspberries throughout the cake. It's absolutely delectable! I typically don't like frosting that much, but the frosting that they use here is so dense and not too sweet. I like to put my slice of cake in the fridge to make it nice and cold and basically the frosting starts to feel like ice cream. This is seriously an amazing and delicious cake! If you're looking for a cake to take to a special occasion then you should definitely stop by Lido Bakery and pick up a white chocolate raspberry cake! It won't disappoint! read more

Easy ordering online and accessible by phone for any follow ups or clarifications . Chocolate fudge cake wasn't overly sweet , just the way we like it and the cake was beautiful ! Owner takes pride in his craft which is why you will get high quality cakes. Everyone raves about their popular berries cake so planning my next stop soon . read more

Lido Bakery - Chocolate Fudge Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

We traveled the beach communities scene over the 4th of July weekend. No trip is complete without trying new restaurants, and of course, finding something sweet to try, as well. Lido Bakery was our pick when down in Manhattan/Hermosa/Redondo Beach areas. A very nice little bakery, which happens to be across the street from Tin Roof Bistro. Lido's cakes reminded me so much of Sweet Lady Jane in West Hollywood, and according to one Yelper, the main baker used to work at Sweet Lady Jane. If that's so, it makes PERFECT sense. This place gives free samples, and generous sized samples at that, of any cake one would like to try. That is soooooooo nice. We tried a little of each, and let me tell you, they were moist and delicious. The cakes with fresh fruit, or even fruit flavored, as well as the chocolate cakes were all fantastic. Their cookies were delish, too...... I especially liked the caramel-filled cookie. Yummmmmmm. The only thing I didn't like was that some of the icing on the cakes looked old and cracked. I have no idea how long these cakes had been sitting around on the day we went. Here's the thing, though....we still tasted them (they offered, so how could we refuse?). Quite honestly, they were amazingly moist and fresh-tasting, so why they looked old on the outside is still a puzzler to me. It had nothing to do with what was going on inside, and it sure didn't affect the flavor meter either. The cakes were excellent. I would buy these cakes any day. They were absolutely delicious. Too bad we live so far away. No wait, that's actually a good thing. I certainly don't need the temptation whatsoever. read more

Beautiful cake but HORRIBLE customer service. Today, we drove my mom to pick up her birthday cake on her birthday. When she went inside (as we kept the car running), the woman at the counter was judge mental and criticized her for picking up her own cake, saying things including: "are you one of those type-A people who has to control everything so they get what they want?" and "so you just get *whatever* you want for yourself *whenever* you want it?" So, young woman at the counter, thanks for being extremely rude to my mom as she picked up her birthday cake. We usually go all the way to Sweet Lady Jane in Beverly Hills to pick up the "Triple Berry" cake, so when my mom found out about Lido's incredible baker and his "Berries and Cream" cake (closer to us in the South Bay) she couldn't wait to try it. But after this experience, not sure if we'll be going Lido next year ‍ read more

My husband and I ordered my wedding cake in here. Our wedding was so small only with families. so we did not need a big cake. When we went to the bakery for the consultation, Jen was so sweet and helped us a lot. Even she let us taste the cake which we are going to order. It was berries and cream. The wedding cake came out so nice and pretty exactly what we were expected. Definitely someday we want to order cakes again. read more

Amazing carrot cake! We called a few days ahead to order. Telephonic Cake ordering was very efficient but we also didn't ask for anything other than their standard carrot cake the way it comes. We got a call the next day to verify we wanted the nuts and raisins on it, which I found very thoughtful of the bakery, because we did. My husband looked at several bakeries for carrot cake and said this one he wanted to try because of the nuts, raisins and all the trimmings! So I'm glad they double checked. Went to pick it up as scheduled. Parking is convenient and easily accessible. Cake was ready as promised. They lady behind the counter was very nice and I asked her which cake was her favorite for next time, she gave me her two recommendations, one was a customer favorite (I think some fruit swirly one) and her favorite was the almond Rocha cake which is the one I was trying to convince my husband to order lol but it was HIS birthday after all so carrot it was. They sell cakes by the slice so maybe next time I'm in Manhattan beach I'll grab a slice of that almond Rocha and give it a go. Oh silly me, the carrot cake..... epic! Best carrot cake we have every ordered from a bakery. Packed with flavor, frosting was nice and cream cheesy not sugary, the filling I dunno what they use but one of the layers was like a custardy coconut. Yum! This will be our go to carrot cake place for sure!!! Worth every penny. read more

If you have a vision, Ernesto at Lido Bakery can bring it to life! This is my go to bakery for special order cakes and desserts. My baby shower cake was everything I envisioned. I texted Ernesto photos of elements I wanted incorporated in my cake; the result was perfection! Make sure you place special order cakes two weeks before your event. Two of my favorite cake flavors here are the German chocolate cake (decadent yet not overly sweet) and Dulce de Leche. Ernesto did a fantastic job on my friend's bridal shower cake too. During dessert, guests inquired about which bakery was responsible. All dessert plates were clean when the wait staff collected them:) read more
