We had a coworker birthday celebration in the office and while calling around, I found my request for tres leche cake to be too expensive almost $100 to feed 15-18ppl. I called Sofia Bakery and thankfully they gave me such a good quote and to feed about 20ppl per my request, I had to do it! I ordered the white plain tres leche cake since I made my own cake toppers. Saved money and came out great Please note upon calling for ordering, they do speak Spanish and little English. We were able to work together to get my order in since I don't speak full Spanish myself. But she was very patient and understanding. They were able to accommodate my request for picking up early morning and made sure I was okay with the process since they usually have pick ups handled after a specific time. The cake itself was delicious and enjoyable and for the price, I'd do it again and refer them out. My friend who picked up the cake for me did mention, it was a little sketchy to pick up and the front counter wasn't aware of what she was asking. All in all; it worked out in the end and they had my cake available. read more

Nice neighborhood bakery , good selection of breads and cakes. We bought a tres leches cake but sadly this cake was too too sweet. This is something someone who is diabetic my want to keep in mind. It was a well made cake but could barely finish my piece. The other people also did not like the cake for the same reason. Hope they can fix this problem. I will come back and try something else another time. read more

I actually found this spot from a TikTok recommendation and had to check it out for myself. I ordered their conchas and a HorchataChino. The conchas were super soft, fresh, and had just the right amount of sweetness--definitely lived up to the hype. The HorchataChino was such a fun twist, creamy with that perfect blend of coffee and cinnamon. Cozy little spot with great flavors, and I'm glad TikTok led me here! read more

My one and only bakery of choice for Mexican bread! They have the best Mexican bread, always so good and fresh baked! Luckily the times that we go there is no line but it does get filled up and a long line always forms behind us. We love to get the chilindrinas, rebanadas, tortugas, elotes and cuernos. They even have tortas which we have also ordered and those are good as well. If your looking for Mexican bread this the place for you! read more

Terrible service, don't order from this bakery if you don't want your event ruined. I placed an order for a custom cake for my daughter's birthday, I paid via phone with my card. When I went to pick up the cake, They had me waiting for over 30 min just so they can tell me that the baker is off and that my cake isn't done. They provided no solution, and I had to go back another day for the reimbursement because the manager was not there. If I could give zero stars I would. Order your cakes elsewhere. read more

I ordered a Marble cake for my sons birthday(8/5) and it was so so so delicious!! Everyone loved it and im still thinking about it to this day. I was nervous because a lot of bakeries make Marble cake differently. I'm so glad I came here. I ordered the top sheet online and the baker put it on nicely and added the red border to complete the look. The cake was for Saturday and on Sunday I returned and ordered a vanilla round cake for my church group. It was alright, it wasn't as sweet and I wouldn't order it again for my preference but they liked it. But man the marble one was amazing!! The only bad thing is they don't sell the round one in marble flavor. I definitely recommend this bakery! And I will definitely order again for future events. read more

By far the best bakery!! You can taste the freshness and quality of their products. I drive 10+ miles just to get bread. I've never had a bad experience nor my family or family. I had a chat with the baker and he asserted my suspicion of them using quality products. The only downfall is that they constantly change or need cashiers. Most look miserable but it does not affect how I feel about the bread read more

My parents use to come here when it was Mima's. My dad was a regular & always talked it up as the best pan dulce in the area. I hadn't been here in a few years. Not impressed. I came to order a Rosca. UNBELIEVABLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Seriously not one of the ladies were pleasant. Their prices are completely inflated. $35 for small rosca; $57 for medium rosca. WTH?!?! I was told on the phone a $20 deposit was fine & pay the balance when I picked it up. The story changed from the time I hung up to the time I walked into the bakery to $30 deposit. The line was long. One cashier that took forever to cash out customers. Three other workers walked around rolling their eyes at customers coming in, offered no help. Regretting I'm even giving this place business, not worth it. There are plenty of other bakeries that have better service & much better tasting bread. read more

Sofia's Bakery is a good spot to get really cheap and tasty Mexican pastries. There are so many options to choose from, and everything is generously sized. Aside from pastries, there are custom cakes and a few lunch options. I have only gotten pastries here. Some of the staff members are bilingual while some do not speak much English at all. Regardless, it is not hard to order. Make sure to bring cash as this is a cash-only place. Parking is available in the small lot. Unless you are having a hard time deciding on what to get, you will be in and out quickly. read more

We ordered a cake days in advance and paid in full! They took our money and left us with no cake, they had no common courtesy to contact us and tell us that they didn't have a cake made for us. They had us waiting over 2 hrs for a cake they never made and we drove 2 hours in traffic to this place. The so called manager over the phone and all the employees and this place were just unprofessional. If you want Sofia's bakery to ruin any special occasion and steal your money then choose this place. I'd go to another bakery with better service! The price for the cakes they make have gone up so much and the cakes keep getting smaller and with the terrible service, our family will never return. Rather make the drive to Porto's where they actually service and don't steal your money and leave you without a cake. Shame on you!! read more

5 stars!! Although a 'T' was missing on my daughters cake, it's one of the best cakes I've had in a LONG time! Everyone at her surprise party raved about the cake, even the people who don't eat cake! First time the cake was gone with no pieces for anyone to take home! This was my first time ordering from Sofia's and it won't be my last! In case you're wondering what I ordered, it was a 3 layer white cake with fresh strawberries in the middle. If you're looking for a GOOD cake, FAIR price...try this place out! I ordered around 7:30am it was ready by 3:00 SAME (Tues)DAY!!! C'mon somebody!!! read more

Came here for a custom cake for my boyfriend's birthday and was more than satisfied with the result. I ordered an 8" tres leches cake with whipped cream frosting and topped with a custom fondant design for about $50. I was in a bind to find a last minute bakery that could still take custom orders and they were able to make this cake less than 48 hours after I ordered it. Ordering the cake was probably the most difficult part since they only allowed me to make a morning appointment for the cake consultation. It was well worth it because the cake was delicious and turned out even better than the picture I gave them for reference. I will definitely be placing future cake orders here! read more

My sister's BF was craving churros but we couldn't find a place close enough to the airport so we ended up here. None of us were very experienced with the different types of mexican pastries so we spend a good 20 minutes drilling the girl behind the counter about the different types of pastries they had. We all ended up ordering several and everyone enjoyed what they got. I'm glad we got there during a relatively slow time though because immediately after we sat down with what we ordered a million people walked in. read more

Upon entering, there is a counter with a blackboard behind it which lists the flavors for WHOLE tin cheesecake orders. Over to the right is some memorial decorations along with a white board listing SLICE flavor availability. Srrvice was nice, friendly, and swift. This visit I ordered the turtle slice but last time I had the golden oreo slice. The golden oreo slice I had in the past was very creamy and rich with flecks of golden oreo and a nice oreo graham shell. The turtle slice was dense, heavy, and rich with a brownie in the midst of the cake and slattered with chocolate and caramel. The actual cheesecake content is creamier than traditional cheesecake. The cheesecakes sliced nicely with a fork or spoon. All in all I really love the cheesecakes here for the texture and quality of their cakes. Highly recommend.

I think I just found my new go to bakery. What got me into the door was hearing that they have the…read more#1 cinnamon in LA. So of course I had to go by for one! Let me tell you! It did not disappoint! So moist and that cream cheese glaze has a slight tangy-ness. Chefs Kiss!!! But I also picked up a Blue Velvet and Yellow With Chocolate Buttercream. So flavor and the texture of the cakes are really like no other. The customer service was great. Christina helped me, she was very sweet and gave some great recommendations. The parking lot was easy to get into. Just be aware when there is an event or concert at the nearby venues the parking lot gets crowded. Due to those events.

So boom--my wife is on a mission to grab Jamaican food from a strip mall, and I'm just minding my…read morebusiness... until I spot Sweet Red Peach. And let me be clear: I do not, under any circumstances, walk past a dessert spot like I've got self-control. That's just not who I am. I slide in there late in the day, and of course--they're sold out of half the menu. But honestly, that just told me everything I needed to know. If a dessert spot is selling out, they're not playing games. Luckily, the universe was on my side because they still had strawberry banana pudding... which is exactly what I came for. I took one bite and immediately paused like I just unlocked a childhood memory. I'm talking grandma-in-the-kitchen-on-a-Sunday type flavor. It was so good, I looked down at the cup, then thought about my four-year-old at home... and had a real moral dilemma about sharing. (Don't judge me.) The spot itself is small, but one of the customers told me when they first opened, there was a line out the door--which I 100% believe. Even when I went (late AND with half the menu gone), there was still a solid line. That's never a bad sign. Long story short: I came for "just a quick stop" and left planning my next cheat day like it's a holiday. I will absolutely be back--and next time, I'm getting there early... and maybe buying an extra pudding so I don't have to pretend to share.

**FAVORITE LA BAKERY**…read more After years of living in LA and working my way through just about every bakery in town, I finally found the one. This is my soul bakery. PARKING We lucked out with street parking right in front. It's limited, and I can see it getting tight on weekends, but doable with patience. PASTRIES & CAKES PRINCESS CAKE - $6.50 I ordered this slice for my birthday, and it absolutely delivered. Alternating layers of airy sponge cake, vanilla custard, and house-made raspberry jam, topped with a dome of whipped cream and finished in light green almond paste. Every bite was balanced--rich but never cloying. Perfect texture, perfect sweetness. Rating: 5/5 RASPBERRY LEMON MOUSSE CAKE - $6.50 An indulgent combination of fresh raspberries and mousse layered with feather-light sponge cake brushed in lemon syrup. Finished with bits of raspberry-infused Valrhona chocolate, this cake hits that ideal sweet-tart balance. Bright, elegant, and not overly sweet--exactly how dessert should be. Rating: 5/5 SPANDAUER - $3.50 Understated and refined. Almond paste, custard, and crunchy almond flakes come together beautifully. Soft meets crisp in all the right ways. Rating: 4/5 KRINGLE - $3.50 A flaky pastry filled with almond paste and custard, topped with sugar and almond flakes. Simple, comforting, and executed perfectly. Excellent with coffee. Rating: 4.5/5 OVERALL Warm, friendly service paired with exceptional pastries and cakes. This place nails balance, flavor, and texture without relying on excess sweetness. I'll be back again and again.

I picked up a mini apple cobbler (fresh out of the oven!) and a mini peach cobbler for a friend. The apple cobbler was warm, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. The mini size is huge -- definitely shareable. My friend loved the peach cobbler so much he almost finished it in the car. Great little spot with delicious desserts and friendly service. I'd happily come back.

They look like a scoop of batter was baked into uneven little cakes, then topped with too much icing. I literally thought they were give away "mistake" goodies, but NO, they are the "new" cupcakes! Don't know why the owners made this decision, but if you're cutting costs, it absolutely shows. There was no cupcake wrapper as well, they looked unevenly baked, and really unappealing. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was a surprise.
