    Tiny but mighty. Had the basil tomato salt & butter bread , curry pan & match mochi pan. All so tasty .

    Kevin and I finally stopped by The Loaf Bakery a couple of weeks ago after it was recommended to us by a few friends and I can't believe we waited so long!! From the moment we walked in, it felt cozy and authentic. It's a smaller location, so it was a bit busy, but honestly that just added to the charm. It had that warm, welcoming bakery energy where everything smells incredible and you can tell things are made with care. We ordered the Matcha square croissant, and it was one of the most unique pastries I've had. The croissant itself was beautifully crisp and flaky on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. The matcha filling was smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced not overly sweet, just heavenly. And the little heart detail on top? Absolutely adorable. I truly appreciate cute touches like that it made the whole experience feel extra special! For drinks, I ordered a matcha sea salt cold brew and Kevin got a taro tea. Both were delicious smooth, flavorful, and so good we honestly wished we had ordered more. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. The staff was very helpful and happy to answer questions, which we appreciated since it was our first visit. Even with the steady flow of customers, service felt kind and welcoming. They also have some of the cutest and most unique bakery items I've seen in a while. If you love trying creative pastries or just want something a little different from the usual, this place is definitely worth checking out. This truly felt like a sweet little getaway without having to go far. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

    Super cute bakery in downtown newhall with lots of tasty Japanese pastries! I came by on a Saturday morning and there was a a line but nothing too crazy as the staff is quick and attentive! I got the bacon bacon, japanini & French toast along with an iced latte! The best bread of the 3 was the japanini, I'm still thinking about it now, weeks later! It was an artisanal panini with pesto, tomato, bacon, cheese and basil! It was so yummy, and perfect for a quick bite! They honestly have such a wide variety of pastries that you are bound to find one you like! I can't wait to come back and try other pastries! Pro tip there's a parking structure that'll lead you straight to the bakery!

    Cute to-go box too!

    Great selection of Japanese sweet treats and savoury buns! An array of drink options too -- hot and cold. Got the hot oat milk latte (can't go wrong with that!) and the following: French toast (our fave!), strawberry and custard croissants, tomato and pesto buns, and a cinnamon bun. Free parking on the street. Lots of people flock here as they're quite popular, but the line moves pretty quickly. Better to get your order to go and eat it elsewhere as they don't really have any tables or anywhere to sit and enjoy your treats. Definitely a "grab and go" kind of a café.

    I often come here for breakfast. Their pastries and bread are fresh baked daily as I can see since it is an open kitchen. I love the salt & butter rolls. They are so soft, butter filling , with a touch of salt on top. My second favorite is the hotdog panini. I always ask to heat it up. It tastes better. I got to try strawberry matcha. I have to say it was pretty good. They also have Groundwork coffee. There are no seats inside but there's a counter to eat for a few people. But you can sit outside. Fast & friendly service

    This place is really good! I came in on a weekend to get a matcha and try one of their pastries. It wasn't too packed, and the line moved fast. It was around 1:30pm, so a lot of their more popular items were already sold out. I ended up getting a banana cream matcha, strawberry croissant and a new item that I forgot the name of but it was a bread roll filled with pork. Everything was BOMB. I can't wait to go back and try more! The only reason why I took off a star is because of their hours. They close at 2:30pm everyday, which sucks because I want to be able to take my Godson after school but he gets out at 2:35pm. If they would stay open until at least 3:30pm that would be ideal and I think they'd get a lot more business from the nearby middle and high school kids.

    I was really, really confused when I saw this place on Yelp (was visiting the area for a short day trip) and saw that all the baked items and general theming of the store was suspiciously similar to Okayama Kobo in Anaheim (and now Little Tokyo). I thought maybe someone had...quietly just copied everything they did, but upon inspection of their website found that the owners are the same! Not sure why they decided to go for a different name? But I think The Loaf does sound catchy/chic lol. Items are just as great as their other locations! They actually have a few items expensive to this location (or maybe I just visited while other seasonal items were in stock that weren't when I visited Okayama). They had interesting new things like cubed croissant loaf pasteries filled with sesame and matcha cream, mocha french toast, strawberry beret, and the seasonal santa custard bread. All were really delicious! I particularly liked the mocha french toast and sesame cubed croissant. I do think The Loaf/Okayama is on the pricier side, but the love, care, and quality is definitely all there. They also had a seasonal strawberry sakura latte that I tried. Really liked the sakura flavor, but thought it didn't mesh well with the espresso/coffee flavoring. They just sort of clash, and I didn't think it was pleasant. Would totally get a sakura tea latte or something though, if they ever have that in the future. I think the sakura flavor would do well with tea and milk rather than coffee and milk. If I'm ever in the area I'll definitely stop by again!

    The staff here are so welcoming, polite, and helpful -- it really adds to how beautiful the bakery already is. It's my second time here this week and I can't stop buying their breads because everything is so good. The salt bread is perfectly done and tastes amazing, and the yuzu croissant is a must-try -- they definitely don't skimp on the yuzu! It's mixed right into the cream, and the flavor is just delicious. The drinks are unique and tasty too, but their pastries are definitely the stars. Even their loaf bread is incredible -- perfect to take home for breakfast, so fluffy it practically melts in your mouth. Honestly, for the quality, the prices are totally worth it. Highly recommend this place!

    This place is everything I expected it to be and more! Fresh pastries (sweet & savory) coming out of the over fresh and being made daily. This has been on my list for over a year and I finally had the opportunity to go. I ordered buttered roll with red bean paste and it was incredible!! I also tried the croissant that looks like a cube with the match inside. I will say it was delicious but too much filling to pastry ratio for me. I squeezed most of it out. The matcha bun with red bean paste was also tasty. I must add that the service was exceptional - the staff was friendly and patient with me. To drink I got the matcha with banana foam and it was so yummy. Took my husband back after he got out of the doctors and he loved it as well. We'll definitely be back with our daughter.

    As an unofficial matcha connoisseur....this is probably one of the best strawberry matchas I've ever had. The foam was perfectly sweet & salty. The matcha itself wasn't overly sweet either. I got it with almond milk and it was just smooth all around. Had curry pan for the first time and the curry to bread ratio was 10/10. I read here that people prefer it to have more filling but I thought it was a nice balance. There's a divider with posters between the cashier and customer so it was kinda awkward ordering haha but all good bc the service was fast. I live an hour away but would def come back just for this bakery can't wait to try everything else Servi

    I can see the appeal! Very fresh quality breads and things but nothing I would be writing home about !! Very clean bakery Many options Sad the espresso machine was off so I didn't get to try their coffee but I did try the matcha which was good !

    This is the only food i got since they're almost closing

    Food was minimal service was fast ambiance was clean. I just wish they close late because i get off work 5pm

    One of our favorite bakeries in the area. A few of our go-to items; japanini, chocolate emoji, strawberry milk cream (of course), and the s'mores danish. Beware they don't make a lot of s''mores danish and they run out on weekends. Besides the pastries, we love the coffee drinks here - they are low-key amazing!

I also really liked that they stay open later than most cafes in the area. They had a huge selection of pastries and baked goods to choose from, although I do wish the prices were a little more affordable. Service was just okay during my visit -- the staff seemed a bit rushed and not very attentive to customers. The food and drinks were still good overall, especially the kimbap croquettes and the matcha latte, which were definitely my favorites! I do think the pastries may have been fresher earlier in the day since some had likely been sitting out for a while by the time I came in. A few items I wanted to try were already sold out, but that just gives me another reason to come back. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely return to try more of their goodies!

I had a few questions about the different items involved, including. It's customer and person favorites. Taking her recommendation, we grabbed one of the plastic trays and tongs and began filling our cafeteria-style carrying apparatus with such delightful goodies as the last remaining Vanilla Crème Donut, Croquette (only available hot and fresh on Friday and Saturday), and a Spinach Feta Danish. There were tons of enticing goodies displayed in bright cases throughout, but these were the ones that caught our eyes on this visit. We proceeded to the counter to pay for our food and also order our drinks, which included a Basic Bro coffee, and an Iced Honey Lavender Drink with Almond Milk for my girlfriend. There are several comfortable and colorful chairs and tables inside, with attention to a light, bright welcoming seating experience. The drinks weee made within a few minutes and upon picking them up, I noticed the place had grown in customer-size with 95% of the clientele being women on a mission to enjoy pastries together without judgment. The drinks were good. My coffee was not terribly hot, but it had a nice flavor. My girlfriend loved her iced beverage. The Vanilla Crème Donut was amazing! Stuffed full of delicious vanilla bean cream, the pastry makers didn't skimp on the quantity or quality of ingredients. Light, airy and fluffy, this was a hit. Of equal appreciation and fame was the Croquette. A deep fried ball of deliciousness, this divine savory treat reminded me of a meat pie wi to vegetables, deep fried and ready to satisfy. Amazing! The Spinach Feta Danish was just OK in my opinion. The lattice design and putter crispy crust was appealing but the interior ingredients lacked flavor and warmth, despite being reheated by the Tous Les Jours team. Overall, it was a solid experience. The prices were on par with similar types of artisan bakeries (85 Degrees), but the taste was a bit better for the items we selected. There were plenty of other amazing treats that we will no doubt want to try in the future and this experience left us wanting more.

The inside is a shared space with an optometrist but everything feels very cohesive and homey. They had a winter menu with peppermint, gingerbread, and other festive ingredients for your drinks. We ordered an iced ube matcha and an iced regular matcha. We sat in the lounge couch while we waited for our drinks. We originally ordered two 16oz drinks, but mine came out in a 12oz size. We checked our digital receipt to make sure and sure enough they were both 16oz drinks. So I went to the counter to let them know. They took my 12 oz matcha (which looked delicious), and then like a minute later, handed me a 16oz matcha. To be honest, the new matcha looked slightly different in color. I didn't see them remake my new drink, but it felt like they took my 12 oz, put it in a 16oz cup, and just added milk to make up the difference. The ube matcha is great if you enjoy ube. It's sweet without it being too sweet. The green (matcha) and purple (ube) when mixed together will get you a mud color, so take those photos before and after mixing, haha. It tastes great though! The regular matcha was ok. It's hard to rate because of the mix up. I'm not sure if that was representative of their regular matcha, in which case, I do wish it had a stronger matcha flavor. It wasn't a weak drink, but it still tasted too milky. If they did indeed just add more milk to make up the difference in their mistake, then that would explain why it wasn't as strong, in which case that 12oz original drink would've been perfect. While we did sit in the patio, there is a restaurant a few doors down, and one of the workers there comes out for a cigarette break pretty often and the smell does blow over to this patio, which was unfortunate. We also got whiffs from the sewer nearby. Not sure if that's a daily thing but good to know for next time.

Stevenson Bakery is a classic mom-and-pop bakery with a cozy, no-frills atmosphere that feels welcoming and local. They open super early in the morning and close at 1 PM, so timing matters. When my husband first stopped by to grab blueberry scones I'd been craving, they were already sold out. The owner was very kind and suggested calling ahead to place an order on hold since the scones can sell out quickly. When we did get them, we ordered a dozen blueberry scones, and they even added donut holes to the box, a really thoughtful touch. The scones are excellent: warm, slightly sweet, with the perfect crunch on the outside and juicy, fresh blueberries inside. I'm in the San Gabriel Valley, and these are absolutely worth the drive (minus 1 star for the long drive). The muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, so I'd skip those and stick with the scones. Warm them in the oven for a few minutes and pair with a glass of milk!
