It's a tradition! Every holiday season we gotta get out pies from 27th St Bakery... The sweet potato pie (my fav) and their pumpkin pie has a special spot at our house. I highly recommend ordering a few weeks in advance cause they tend to sell out or if your lucky, you'll be waiting in line to get yours. Either way, they are so worth it!!! read more

The pecan pie is amazing--the right amount of sweetness, plenty of crunchy pecans, and a great crust. It's easily one of, if not the, best pecan pies in LA. I got the mini pies and they are a little on the expensive side, but this place finally helped me understand what sweet potato pie is supposed to taste like. I've seen sweet potato pies in TV shows and movies for years and was always curious about it, and this place did not disappoint. Service is fast and friendly, the place is not big it's perfect for pickup and go. read more

I went in person and the lady who assisted me needs a raise. I was going to leave a negative review but she changed my mind. She was courteous, kind and took accountability for my order. I'm sad I didn't get her name but thank you for your knowledge and providing above and beyond customer service. read more

Must try amazing pies! They have pecan, sweet potatoe and many more. Sweet potatoes pie is one of the best!

Recently went to 27th Street Bakery after not going for years. In years past I worked in the area and would stop by frequetly. Anyhow, this past time I went I bought lemon cake, red velvet cake, peach cobbler, and sweet potato pie. I get home, give the wife the red velvet and I had the lemon. The first issue was both cakes were wrapped in plastic and in a plastic container. We unpackage both cakes and they are both stale, hard and taste old. I was so disappointed...The products were so bad the wife threw all items I bought in the trash. I think what makes my experience so bad is for years 27th Street Bakery has been the standard for sweet potato pies...I bought them at the 27th and Central store, in supermarkets, liquor stores and at the store they briefly had on Crenshaw. Needless to say, I dont think I will be returning given other people have had the same experience as me. read more

The 27th Street Bakery is one of those perfect Yelp finds. It's exactly why I started using Yelp--to discover unique, out-of-the-way family businesses you wouldn't find with a chain establishment. A family friend brought two pies to our dinner: one was a sweet potato pecan pie, and the other, a cheesecake. I've had a lot of cheesecakes in my life, but I can't remember one so delicious. It was rich and unique, unlike any cheesecake I've ever had, with a topping that's truly indescribable. This is a one-of-a-kind, third-generation bakery that deserves our support. It's the kind of place you might never find without Yelp. Even though it's not close to us, I'd absolutely make the trip to get that cheesecake for a special occasion--it was by far the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. And who doesn't love supporting a small, family-owned business? I will definitely return. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I was just driving by and noticed this very cute bakery, looked it up and saw they specialized in pies and more specifically sweet potato pies.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Turned my car around, parked and had the most delicious mini sweet potato pie. As a true lover of pies I was very happy to find this little gem and will definitely be coming back. read more

Southern style desserts are made the way Grandma did. I highly recommend the sweet potato pie but don't sleep on the red velvet cake. There is only street parking but if you order online you can get in and out pretty quickly. The staff is friendly and expedient. This is true even during the holiday rush. read more

Wow. This place is amazing. A cozy Black-owned woman-owned bakery right outside DTLA with the most delicious desserts! I grabbed an entire red velvet cake for a work event and there were no crumbs left! So moist and flavorful, and the best part was I needed it within 24 hours and they were able to make it work. I also grabbed a mini sweet potato pie and pecan pie! The sweet potato pie is classic, but that pecan pie!!! Y'all. Best pecan pie ever. Such a great bakery with so much love in the sweets, you can taste it! read more

The sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie were delicious . Sweet potato pie was actually to die for. I'm not a fan of pecan pie , but my partner is (we order a pecan pie from a different place every year) . We ordered from Gwen restaurant for thanksgiving this year and absolutely not worth the price. However, Jeanette's pecan pie was totally worth the drive (we drove 1 hr for these pies). We will be ordering for delivery next year- Jeanette has a forever customer :) Also they have overall great customer service, parking is a little tricky. Until next year... read more

My cousin bragged about going to Ralph's to get the best sweet potato pies! I tried the mini pies and couldn't taste any butter in the crust at all and the pie was bland with an aftertaste that wasn't great. Then I tried it again to see if I was being moody or something and bit into a hard piece of potato!? Somehow they never blended the batch I had correctly.... No flavor and barely sweet! Be CONSISTENT please when you are supposed to be the best pies ever! I told my cousin that there is NO WAY those pies live up to her hype and I am very reasonable read more

Short Review: Classic deserts with a southern style. Order way ahead for the holidays. They cut off orders pretty early. Long Review: I heard about this business from my mom - as I'm sure a generation of people like me have. They make THE BEST sweet potato and pecan pies around. Not too much sugar, for those concerned. They even have 3-inch personal pies as well. Cute and quaint little shop on the corner of 27th & Central in South LA. Still family-owned. Please support America's family-owned businesses. This one is well worth it. read more

I found this place through Yelp! as I was looking for a Pecan pie for Thanksgiving. There was a line but there were no tape lines to indicate patrons must stay 6ft away from each other. At 1st when I walked in it seemed old. But I got over it and tried to see what the prices were. They have paper copies of their menu but I feel they should laminate a few or make some with bigger letters. Their pies are inexpensive but good. I ordered a Pecan Pie and what I thought was a sweet potatoe pecan pie but was given a sweet potato pie instead. The pecan pie was delectable and not overly sweet! This is a huge plus. The Sweet Potato Pie was creamy but I was put off by the occasional cinnamon randomly bunched up in random bites. It made me realize that this is a pie best paired with coffee. The cinnamon notes were a bit strong as mentioned which made me wonder about the other SP pie I'd go back for the (regular) pecan pie! Oh and they are located in my old neighborhood! Upon seeing their Yelp! business, I had to go try them out. read more

Went to this bakery to surprise a family friend with coconut cake that she loves from this place. Upon entering, the staff at the counter was not helpful at all! They were out of coconut cake so we start looking at the other flavors. None of them were labeled so we had to point and ask what was what. The staff wouldn't make any suggestions when we asked. She was very cold, dry, and not helpful at all! We ended up getting the friend some mini sweet potato pies and I got a slice of yellow cake with chocolate icing. The cake was wrapped in saran wrap and in a plastic container. When I got home to try the cake, I noticed some wetness in the layers but thought maybe it was simple syrup. I break off a piece and the cake was dry and stale. Once unraveled, I look closer at the chocolate icing and it was sliding off the cake. I look all around the packaging. There were no dates in addition to the lack of labels. I definitely won't be going back to this place and really hoping the sweet potato pies I dropped off were fresh. I'm almost too embarrassed to call and ask. read more

I came here after seeing it on Bake or Break. You do have to ring the bell to go in but there's a cute little sign now. There was one display case full of cakes and 3 kinds of pie (pecan, sweet potato, and a mix). I got a small pecan pie (only $3.50). It was fresh and tasty with a yummy filling and lots of pecans. I will definitely order from here when I need a pie. read more

This is going to be one of my dessert spots! My mom told me about this place located on the historical "Central Avenue" in LA. And per the memories and truths told to me by my grandmother, this area was once where black folks were only allowed to dine, enjoy entertainment, live, raise their family and shop. So when an elder says let's try a place on Central Ave, my answer will be, yes. I rang the doorbell, was buzzed in & walked into black history. The vintage (fully operational) oven and classic cash registers on display captured and kept my attention. This was a family feel-good bakery. The bakery was clean. My third generation customer service experience was awesome. Swing by! read more

I ordered a pie online for pickup to have on NYE. I order a "Classic Pecan Pie". Thats what was on my order and the label on the pie itself. Low & behold on NYE when I finally get a slice of pie, it's turns out to NOT be a Classic Pecan Pie, but Pecan Sweet Potato Pie. I do NOT like sweet potato pie, so this ruins everything for me. And then they closed for 2 weeks so I wasn't even able to do anything about it; although from other reviews I read I highly doubt they would've tried to do anything for me anyway. They're known for the pies not the customer service. Thanks for taking my money and not giving me what I paid for I can't judge the pie fairly because I ended up with something I inherently dislike, but I had friends over and some thought it was too sweet while others thought it was decent but nothing special. read more

I know the family and know that they stand for quality. Stopped by this gem yesterday morning to get a bit of everything to drop off to fans of this location. Disappointed not yet by product but by customer service. Sign on window said "Open Come In." However the door was locked. We knocked and knocked. Finally we went next door and noticed this was an extension, no door but a kitchen with open window. Two bakers were inside. We yelled to them through window, asking "are you opened?" They replied but we could not comprehend what they were saying. One baker looking frustrated, stopped what she was doing and came to the locked door. Opening the door, instead of greeting us, she gestured to a slim doorbell switch on the side. Imitating to "push this." We found this amusing and quite annoying, yet confident. Lol. I was thinking, 'this stuff must be good.' We bought up a little bit of everything to hand out to senior family members. Here is the results: potato pies-5, pecan pies-5, red velvet cake (stale), tea cakes (bland) German Chocolate Cake (not all that). I asked if they had yellow cake with chocolate icing - she said no (yet I turned around and it was in refrigerated section. I give them a 3 rating. Due to customer service. read more

I swear this bakery reminds me of working at my uncles pie shop " The Little Pie Company" in NYC. I've been trying to get over to the bake shop to get a large pie cause I always get the small pies at Ralph's on Vermont and Adams Blvd. I wish their contract expanded to the Ralph's in my area. The owner being a former Olympian and carrying on her family's legacy by blessing us with those sweet recipes warms my heart. I can't stop eating those pies and I bet I wouldn't be able to stop talking to her. Gotta it over to 27th Street Bakery in LA soon and tell my Uncle Arnold I met these prestigious lady. https://www.littlepiecompany.com read more

Drove by this place for work a few times and was really drawn to the the sign. Although it was a hole in the wall those places make the best desserts. Finally came and wanted some pie. Stopped by their gate and had to ring the buzzer, took a little bit before someone opened the door. When I finally got inside saw one display of desserts. I was trying to make conversation with the Lady behind the counter but that wasn't happening. Pick their pecan and sweet potato pie and brought it home. Overall it's exactly what you would expect of the pie not too sweet but just right. It had everything that homey taste you want from a pie like that. Overall it's not an everyday pie but during the holidays it's worth the holiday feeing. read more

Newly developed Sweet Potato and Pecan Pie was awesome! I had the pleasure of trying it out at our Employee Appreciation Luncheon and there were dozens and dozens of these mini pies on hand. While I was trying to make up my mind between the three choices, the lady manning the table said that the Sweet Potato and Pecans Pie is a new flavor for them and to let them know what I thought. Well, here I am at yelp, letting her know that they should make this a permanent part of their menu. Crust was crumbly like a buttery cobbler. The sweet potato pie filling was not too sweet and not metallic in flavor. The pecans were fresh and crunchy and not too sweet. read more

27th Street Bakery has delicious sweet potato pies! I ordered a few for Thanksgiving and they did not disappoint. Flaky crust, with a sweet and unique tasting filling. Must be their secret vanilla spice blend.. it really tasted good! The pies were ready in time as ordered and I appreciate how they were vacuumed sealed for freshness. I was able to put one in the freezer to enjoy later. I'll be back again..thanks 27th St Bakery! read more

Old school since 1956. It was busy Sunday because the cicLAvia bicycle event was happening down Central Ave. The outside screams yesteryear with it's old looking signage. I went inside and asked what is the most popular item and she said it was the sweet potato pie. The pie slice was only $1 what a deal and it tasted and looked so fresh. read more
