I ordered three dozen cookies for a party, chocolate fudge, snickerdoodle, and oatmeal raisin, and they disappeared so fast that I didn't even get a chance to snap a photo... or even try one myself! I guess that's the best compliment a baker can receive. They were clearly a huge hit! Now I'll just have to come back and buy a cookie (or a few) for myself. One thing I didn't realize when ordering online is that there are two locations. I drove to the quieter Gardena shop for pickup, only to find out my order had actually been sent to the Torrance location. Unfortunately, parking in Torrance on a Saturday was pretty stressful. Next time I'll be sure to double-check that I'm placing my order with the Gardena location. Despite the pickup mix-up, the cookies were obviously a crowd-pleaser, and I'd definitely order them again. read more

Torrance Cake in Gardena continues to impress me. Their custom cakes are not only tasty but always have a unique touch that makes them stand out. The shop itself is small, clean, and well-kept. The team here provides great service and genuinely takes care of their customers. I feel welcomed every time I walk in. Their pastries are consistently good, fresh, and satisfying. A dependable bakery with real heart. Miguel C. read more

I've ordered several cakes from this Torrance Bakery location over the years, along with plenty of their sweet treats and cookies, and overall I've had good experiences. Their cookies are delicious, and the cakes are always fresh and flavorful. Most recently, I ordered a birthday cake for a friend, and it was a huge success. The cake looked beautiful, tasted amazing, and my friend absolutely loved it. It was exactly what I had envisioned, and it made the celebration extra special. I also love the neighborhood feel of this place. It has the kind of welcoming atmosphere where you see loyal customers coming in regularly, and the staff has always been friendly and pleasant to work with. As an added bonus, I've also ordered from the sandwich shop next door and really enjoy their pastrami sandwiches. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the custom cake decorating can be inconsistent. In the past, I've had more than one cake that wasn't decorated according to the order instructions, and the bakery actually had to remake it. While I appreciate that they made it right, it does make me a little nervous whenever I place a custom order because I'm never quite sure if the final product will match what I requested. Thankfully, this most recent order was perfect and reminded me why I keep coming back. The quality of their baked goods is excellent, and when the decorating is done correctly, they really deliver. If they could improve the consistency of their custom cake orders, they would easily earn 5 stars from me. read more

It's been so hard to find a king cake out in LA/Southbay, and even harder to find a legit king cake at that! Stop your search, and order your king cake from Torrance Bakery! I love that it's made-to-order/customizable & not massed produced like other local bakeries. The presentation, texture of the cake, and the freshness can't be beat. I'll be ordering my king cake from here every Mardi Gras season going forward. The ordering was straightforward on their website, and they had plenty of pickup dates & times available. The bakery was clean & their staff was extremely helpful when I picked up my order, and it was soooo tempting not to pick up other freshly baked treats that they had in their display. Thank you, Torrance Bakery! read more

Torrance Bakery - Triple Berry & Cream Cheese King Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Gardena, California

Came in to buy a cake for my father's birthday. The cake that was pulled from the case was perfect and wanted "happy birthday dad" written on it. The worker took the cake to the back to have it written on. However when it was time to bring out the cake and sing happy birthday to my dad, it was a big disappointed and embarrassment that the cake was actually ugly. You can see whoever wrote on the cake, wiped it off and accidentally stuck the piping tip in the cake. Unfortunately that huge mistake ruined the celebration. Torrance Bakery, please do better. You're a trusted local bakery in the area. The worker should have pulled a new cake out from the extra stock for their mistake. read more

Came here while searching for oatmeal raisin cookies and decided to give Torrance Bakery of Gardena a try--glad we did. This location is part of the original Torrance Bakery in downtown Torrance, and the quality shows. We ordered several cookies: oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, and peanut butter. All tasted homemade--soft and chewy with just a slight crisp on the edges. The cookies were definitely the highlight. We also tried the fudge chew, which was good and very chewy, but not quite on the same level as the cookies. Picked up a carrot cake cupcake and a Dubai chocolate cup for dessert later (update to follow). Parking is limited, but the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They also sell cakes and take special orders. Overall, a solid bakery stop and one I'd definitely recommend. read more

So I was very impressed with Torrance Bakery my first few times I came, but I come to realize it pretty much used the same frosting laterally across the board with everything( it doesn't stand out as it does with other bakeries. The cakes are airy and fresh but it's just pretty straightforward., neutral taste with everything. The cinnamon rolls.." I'm tired of talking to them about it. I've told them to stop selling the cinnamon rolls that edge the whole sheet all around .." (when you bite into them )they're like wood and I always have to ask for the center ones. But they still haven't changedit.. they're still selling fresh cinnamon rolls as if they were a day old or two. It's been over six years already, so I'm pretty much done with that idea ,but anyways it's a fun Bakery to go to the first few times, but then it kind of becomes a repetitious and boring after that. read more

The cake was beautiful and delicious. I would however have to say that the service is poor. The cake advisors should explain that each layer can have two flavors instead of just giving you a list of options. I figured that out by myself and went back to make changes to the take before the week period that u are allowed to make changes. Also, the fee to deliver to the reef is $135.00 so I opted to pick up myself. The cake was packed to perfectly and it was easy to carry into the venue. The cake was decorated so beautifully and the flavors were perfect and delicious. The chocolate fudge cake is my favorite. Every time I am in the area I have to stop by for a slice. read more

12 Years of Loyalty! One of my Favorite Go-To for Cakes. I have been getting all my special occasion cakes from this bakery for about 12 years now, and they have never, ever let me down. What's great about this specific location is that it's a full-service bakery. You can walk in and immediately see (and smell!) all the fresh-baked cookies, pies, and cakes in the display. It's the perfect spot to grab a quick treat. But the main event, of course, is their custom cakes. They have a huge selection to choose from, and after 12 years, I've tried a lot of them. My all-time favorite, the one I get over and over, is the Marble Buttercream Cake. It is consistently perfect. Now, a pro-tip: Their main bakery in Torrance is more for handling the custom orders and doing cake tastings. I definitely recommend doing a tasting, even if you just do it for fun. It's the best way to figure out your favorites. Honestly, cake tasting is such an underrated hobby, lol! Look, the custom cakes are pretty pricey; there's no way around that. But they are definitely good. You're paying for quality you can trust, and the designs are always beautiful. After more than a decade, I can say they're worth it. read more

Provided 4 tier wedding cake for my daughter's wedding: everything turned out great. Torrance Bakery is a preferred bakery of the Wedding reception location that we chose, and an allowance is given. A couple months before the wedding, a cake tasting was hosted at the Torrance location, where the couple (and one extra guest) could help sample to make choices. The couple ended up picking a 4 tier, cream cake with four different flavors including mango and chocolate...which fit within the allowance so no additional payment was necessary. The cake was delivered on time, and there were plenty of slices for all the guests to enjoy and take home if desired. We froze the top tier for later consumption (hopefully following tradition of one year later). The cake was delicious, decorated as requested, and delivered perfectly. Couldn't ask for anything more. read more

I've been going to both locations for years, but this one is more convenient for me. I love everything that they bake. My favorite is the cookies. But they also made my wedding cake. I made an appointment at the Torrance location for that. It was beautifully decorated just as I requested with different flavors on each tier: red velvet with cream cheese, yellow with strawberries and whip cream, and banana with custard. Everyone raved about it! Back to the cookies. I usually go to the Gardena location for my fix. They have a cookie special on Wednesday, but I can't remember what it is. The chocolate chip cookies are great. Pro tip: get the bag of cookies vs. individual ones for a better price. The fudge chews are a cross between a brownie and a cookie. We call them brookies. They make a maple one as well. But my favorite cookie is the peanut butter. They're slightly crispy but also soft. They also make great custom cookies and cakes, donuts, petit fours, small pastries. I'm sure there's something for everyone with a sweet tooth. read more

I was just really hoping that it was just me because I always bought cakes from torrents bakery but for the last two years the cakes have not been good the way that they were back in the past years. We always think that when you're going to a business. That is gonna always stay, but sometimes things changes. The an ingredients change or the mixture or someone that's making it. That's not familiar with the actual branding of the way the cakes have been made in the past 2 become the best bakery in the area.. I would say torn's bakery.You have lost your touch and baking cakes. A customer not satisfied read more

Of all the years that I've lived so close, I had never been to this location until 2020!! Needless to say, I've been back a few more times! This location is easy to find parking, run in to get your baked goods quickly and leave! It's a bit smaller and so convenient! It's on the East side of Western Ave. in a small shopping plaza. The staff is friendly and helpful! If you come here, be sure to get their signature Chocolate Chew Cookie!! All of their cookies are delicious, but this one tops them all... if you love chocolate and chewiness!! I have just had a few different cookies and the Mini-Danishes. I keep going back for those Chocolate Chew Cookies! I remember we bought a cake many eons ago for a birthday party from the other Torrance Bakery and it was fantastic! I suppose I should try some again! I know, most people come here for the cakes, but we just don't have that need, so we're here mostly for the other goodies! After hubby had a stroke and was released from the hospital, we came here to take a box of goodies to the First Responders at the Fire Station as a thank you. And this year, we took so to a House-Warming Party! The space is small, but you're sure to find whatever it is that you would want! They did a nice job of observing Social Distancing and allowed just a few customers inside at a time during the COVID restrictions. If you are in the area, stop by and give them a try! Great baked goods for any occasion or if you are "just in the mood for something sweet"!

We were given a bag of these cookies and I really didn't think anything of them until I opened the bag and tried one. They are delicious! The maple pecan cookies are chewy and delectable with pieces of pecan in them and just the right sweetness . Will definitely come back for more. My husband tried the fudge cookies and was very pleased. He said they are very ooey gooey and tastes very fudgy. We were given a bag of 6, but were able to save the last 2 for pics read more

I love Torrance Bakery! I have come here for years to order my kids birthday cakes and they never disappoint. The staff is friendly and the place smells so good when you walk in and it feels clean and nice! I order the sugar cookies and you can get an image on them. I get them wrapped and give them out as thank you's. The taste is not the greatest but I order them for the cuteness factor. The cake I usually get is the white cake with fresh strawberries and butter cream. It serves so many people and it's delicious. Very moist and yummy. I love the chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake, and the chocolate fudge chews. The best. The only thing is you still have to call and place an order, very old school but I'm sure it's to make sure accuracy of your order. I love the bakery feel where you can go and still get fresh baked goods. 10/10. Love this place. read more

I've ordered a custom cake here with a custom printed image a couple of times. The first cake I ordered last year was great. It looked good and tasted good. This time around, the cake looked great as well, but the cake was on the drier side. The first experience ordering a cake with a guy last year was delightful. He was nice, friendly, and answered all my questions. This time, the lady who took my order was kinda of more on the rude side. She seemed annoyed about questions I had. I only continued my order since I assumed the cake was going to be as good quality as the first time I ordered. I WAS WRONG. read more

This is such a cute bakery and very close to where I live! I tried their chocolate chip pecan cookies, a carrot cupcake, a cheese danish, and a blueberry scone. I'm never one for scones, but was craving it one day and looked up what was in my area. This is one of the best scones I've had! I liked how it was more bread-like versus the typical firm cookie like texture (I hope I'm making sense lol). I tried their coffee too as it was freshly brewed, but was not a fan of it. I will certainly be back for more! The service was great, too. read more
