Mitra is so incredibly sweet, genuine, and helpful, and this is the best bakery in the area!!! I'm so thankful to have found this place -- my go-to place for birthday cakes now, for sure! They even do a dairy-free strawberry shortcake! Thank you, wonderful Mitra and team! read more

My birthday is in December and every year I love to celebrate with a Black Forest Cake. I had gone to Costco and didn't see any there, and then I ordered from somewhere closer to me, and the other place did not even let me know they didn't have a whole cake available, and instead they sent me a stale small piece of cake. I was so disappointed, and on top of that, I had just spent the three days prior to my birthday dealing with backyard flooding because the drains were clogged. Things happen for a reason because all of the above mentioned events led to how I ran across Vienna Pastry! I read the reviews on yelp and I saw that they had beautiful photos of their cakes, so I ordered one regular sized Black Forest cake, and three of the mini black forest cakes. I figured if the regular size wasn't available, at least I could still get my yearly Black Forest fix in! I was pleasantly surprised when my order was delivered quickly to me, and still cold! The cake is GORGEOUS and when I cut into it, the layers were perfectly layered and so DELICIOUS. Not only that, my order arrived with a hand written note and some cookies thrown in. I am so grateful for Vienna Pastry for making my birthday special! I didn't get a photo of the minis, but those were just as beautiful and perfect. I will definitely be ordering from Vienna Pastry again in the future! read more

This is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. I have been getting pastries from this store since they were in Santa Monica and never had the chance to post a great deserved review. Best fruit tarts!!!! read more

I bought a black forest cake from here yesterday (saturday) for mother's day. It was amazing!!! It's the best black forest cake I've ever had. I'd argue it's the best black forest cake in los angeles. The cherry filling made the cake so moist. The chocolate was so rich. And even though we didnt eat it until the next day on the Sunday, the cake tasted so fresh! Highly recommend read more

This bakery has the best Mocha Rollets! I just love this place. They've been around for years, but moved to this hidden location on Wilshire and Bundy. read more

Joseph is very friendly and nice. This place has a variety of goodies from cakes to cookies. I ordered a goodie box via too good to go. This is inside a corporate building. You walk in past the elevators and make a right. There are signs that instruct you where to go. I really enjoyed the sprinkle cookies and the almond croissant. I will definitely be back to visit and try more goodies. read more

In the first floor of an office building- so worth the adventure of finding it. Family run- excellent selection! Yum

This is one of the best bakery shops in Los Angeles. It has tradition and the owners take pride in their works. It's not corporate owned. The same owners have been in this business for decades. The quality of pastries and cakes is excellent. The most unfortunate thing is the location. This store used to have its own easy-access location. But because of the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic, they had to give up their original location and moved to this current location, which is hidden inside a large building on Wilshire Blvd. Just walk to the reception desk in the lobby, turn right and follow the sign to the store. I highly recommend this bakery (and I am very picky when it comes to quality pastries and cakes). Customer service is also excellent here. read more

I ordered a Sachertorte for my husband's birthday, and it is perfect! We had Sachertorte in Vienna, and this was just perfect. The staff communicate promptly and clearly by email, and they attended to all my requests regarding the cake. The cake arrived on time, in excellent condition, and it's made the birthday celebrations special. Thank you so much! read more

Vienna Pastry is a gem in the neighborhood! I recently moved to the area and was craving a good chocolate cake. I stumbled on this place and the owner told me that they used to be on Santa Monica for 75 YEARS but during the pandemic, they had to move out. They are now located inside a building on wilshire and bundy. The owner is so nice and he explained to me the different types of cakes and pastries they offer in store. He told me that the previous owner was from Vienna and that his family took over afterwards. I got the chocolate mousse cake and it was so so good. It wasn't super sweet at al. The flavor was a balance of chocolate, coffee, and salt. The cake texture was soft and the frosting was creamy instead of grainy like the ones you get from the market. The owner also gave me a fruit tart and yum! The crust was solid and not soggy, the creamy was not super sweet, and the fruit was fresh and cut fresh daily. I'll be coming back but do have them cater your next personal or business event! read more

My husband and I stumbled in on this little shop hidden in a business building on Wilshire. I had an appointment nearby and being from Long Beach I wasn't too familiar with the area so I just googled the nearest place to get a cup of coffee. Though it's not a sit-down cafe it's a gem of a little pastry shop. The owner was very friendly in that kind of super-chill casual way that makes you feel immediately comfortable. The almond milk lattes he made for us were smooth and delicious!0 To our surprise, they also had miniature vegan cakes in the freezer that we took home to thaw and eat later. They were not only delicate and beautiful to look at, but they were unexpectedly delicious! I say "unexpectedly"because it's not a primarily vegan bakery, yet these cakes were better than a lot of actual vegan bakery cakes I've tried. This little stop - and the genuineness of the owner's kindness really made our day. read more

Large fruit tart was great, I got it from my husband for Valentine's Day--better than any flowers or candy.

Copying my review here apart from their site. I am very hesitant to try new places for cakes. Especially growing up around tres leches cakes that are moist and not too sweet. I found this place a while ago and had it bookmarked, and decided to order a birthday cake the night before which they were able to accommodate for early next day pickup. This place blew my mind, so moist and so delicious. Not too sweet but everything you need from a cake and more was in this master piece. Such a sweet staff and as it was my first time there they gave me a delicious welcome treat before leaving. When walking in it felt like a family business full of love. They validate parking which is a plus in this area! read more

Just purchased a Black Forest cake. DELICIOUS!! I remember going to Vienna Pastry 50 years ago with my family. They were the best back then and they're the best now. So happy they're still around. The new location is a little confusing the first time you go, but don't let that dissuade you. read more

Sadly I will have to update my thoughts on this business and how things are handled. I was originally looking forward to the individual cakes I ordered. Here is the complicated and disappointing situation. I called this yesterday (Monday) to order 3 napoleon individuals and 3 chocolate FUDGE individuals (I emphasis the fudge because, like the last review stated, we do not like any type of mousse frosting/filling) after speaking to Fernando (I think that was the name, could have been Francisco or something similar) I was told he would check with the baker that the individual fudge cakes were something they can do since it is not usually a ready to order item. He said he was not worried about the napoleons because they keep a few in the freezer. He then said that when he checks with the baker he will call me back if it is something they cannot do, and if they don't call me then it is not an issue. I hung up but then realized what was said about the napoleons being in the freezer. So I called back to ask that it is made fresh the day of the order. He said that is fine and noted it down. The next day (day of pickup) I got a call in the morning but did not get a chance to call back until later in the afternoon. When a woman answered she said they did not make my order because it was not confirmed when they called me in the morning. I was not happy and told her I spoke to someone twice before her, i asked why that would be a reason to not make it and they could have left a voicemail at the very least. She then switched it to "well we did the fuge cakes". So i ended up getting frozen napoleons. To top the interaction off, when my dad picked up the order Fernando (or w.e. his name is) decides it is ok to tell him how complicated he thinks i am. Anyways, once it was time to eat the cakes we see that it isn't a fudge cake at all, instead it was the mousse cake I specifically did not want. It went to waste and the service really didnt help anything. You can see in the picture I attached that it is clearly a mousse cake. Use my fist reviews photo as reference to what the fudge frosting looks. read more

Vienna Pastry - a view of a street with cars - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best linzer tart cookies in LA. Yes, even better than Bea's in Reseda. Sadly, a tough location to find. Well worth it to find, however. New location: INSIDE the office building on the North corner of Bundy and Wilshire. The baked goods are the same excellent quality as the old location, and from what I can tell the same variety of goods. Cakes are as artful and beautiful as before. For those of you who remember the art deco storefront on Wilshire and 12th, those days are gone. The new location is now one of those office building deli sort of places, which I thought did not have sandwiches, but I have been corrected that they make paninis and cold sandwiches. Good coffee (choice of arabica or Lavazza espresso drinks). Staff is, as always, friendly and helpful. It's just finding the place is hard. But well worth the spelunking through the first floor hallways to suite 110! read more

When I tell you family owned; I mean not only it's auntie & nana in the bakery making the sweets with love... they treat you like family with their service! Lisa & her family have been running strong for decades; it definitely shows because their recipes have perfected. You gotta Try it for yourself! If you can find the spot, just enter the beautiful Wilshire building, head right pass the kind security guard. (Mr. Bruce recommends the muffins sir!)

Vienna Pastry - Amazing pastry selection!! So yummy - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I saw the reviews about this being a cute small business and I wanted to support as well so... here I am!! It's my boyfriend's birthday and I wanted to get him something unique. The tiramisu was delightful. Perfectly fluffy, faintly sweet, with a hint of coffee. The fruit tart was out of this world. I'm not someone who eats fruit tarts but they looked so fresh i had to try it. the crust was *chefs kiss*. Pecan bars were so good they tasted homemade. Not like that processed pecan taste that most pecan bars taste like #IYKYK. and apparently the cookie was so good that my boyfriend ate both immediately. i wouldn't know bc i didn't taste it but it's his bday so we aren't mad! just a teeeeeny bit jealous :) also i am unemployed rn and have almost no money. This was all only $13.50 like WHAT?! IN THIS ECONOMY?!?! A blessing. :) thank you for making my day and my boyfriends birthday. we loved this dessert more than any we've had in a while. read more

As another reviewer already said, this is a neighborhood bakery you should support! The owners are so kind and helpful, and the desserts are delicious. We used to live close to their old location, and looked at the cakes everyday on walks when the kids were young. We bought many birthday cakes, cookies, pastries, and treats here, and we were so sad when they moved. A few weeks ago, I picked up a chocolate mousse birthday cake for my 10 year old's party, and it was so nice to go into this bakery again. I miss seeing them at their old location, but was happy to visit them at their new one. If you have the chance, go support this neighborhood bakery! read more

They offer a large selection of cakes, cookies, pastries, etc. We got a birthday cake for my son here, the price was reasonable (about $20) and the cake was pretty good. We live near by so the location is convenient for us. I'm sure there are better bakeries and coffee shops around but we didn't want to shop around and just get a simple birthday cake for the three of us to enjoy. The customer service here is ok. All employees are wearing masks. You must wear one to get in. read more

Yes! Who doesn't love a local bakery to support that offers delicious desserts, creative cookies, and fantastic fruit tarts? When you walk in, you can smell the freshness and my favorite to do is to look at the creativeness of how they decorate everything. I was on the hunt this holiday season for a gingerbread house kit from a small business and of course, found it at Vienna Pastry. They have pre-made gingerbread houses (both large and small) that are of course gorgeous, but I wanted to DIY. Careful to refrain yourself from all the holiday treats from cookie trays to gingerbread men! COVID-19 restrictions are in place and I was able to call ahead on the phone and pre-pay. Enjoy the treats, especially as they go all out for any of the holidays! read more

I called so many places in LA asking if they make 'Sachertorte' and this was one of the only places that did and they use almond paste (which is not used in the traditional recipe). I had my doubts but my boyfriend really wanted that type of cake for his birthday so I decided to give it a chance and I personally enjoyed it. My boyfriend, who had the cake back in Europe, really enjoyed it as well but could taste the almond paste. He did not love that part but he also did not mind it :) of course he also understands that we are in America so some of the recipes will be changed. Overall, the cake was very yummy and changed my mind on the apricot flavor that i usually don't enjoy very much. My boyfriend was very happy with his surprise. Thank you Vienna for being patient with my emails about the cake and for the kind costumer service read more

One of THE best places in LA to get a proper fruit tart. Absolutely delicious. I often make a special trip here (passing a dozen other bakeries) just for the fruit treats. They have pastries in mini, medium, and full size. Joseph was really sweet and provided fast, friendly service. BONUS: 15 min parking validation or street parking. read more

This place makes fantastic pastries, especially their Black Forest Cake. I've been going here for about 50 years. It's a secret little hole in the wall that can make wedding cakes or whatever you want. They've forgotten more about pastry making than most people will ever learn. read more

The shop is located inside the first floor of the building, proceed down the hall past the elevators, and go three doors down the right hand side. The owner, Joseph, was welcoming and kind. Best of all, their 9" fruit tart ($30) was exactly what we were hoping for in order to celebrate a friend's birthday. I was able to smoothly order online & schedule a same day, in-store pickup. I would highly recommend anyone on the West side to give it a try. read more

This place moved from it's original location on Wilshire near Euclid in Santa Monica. I assumed, sadly, that they were victims of the pandemic. But when looking for a Busch Noel this holiday season, I was DELIGHTED to find that they were still around and operating in a new location at Wilshire and Bundy. The new location is just off the lobby of a large office building and has no street presence. But don't be deterred! You can order on-line or just walk in for the great baked goods that we have known for over 30 years. A great Santa Monica institution lives on! Tell your friends!!! read more
