Was just in here to buy something and was asked to "step outside" they would not serve me because I did t have a mask and yet...the customer before me was without a mask and they happily served him!! Not saying a word to him! Is this because I'm a woman and they felt they could bully me?? Wow...I feel like I was really singled out because I am female. Never setting foot in this gender biased place again!! I'm embarrassed and very upset. read more

3.5 stars Jumbo red velvet cupcake: $5.00 Mini maple bacon cupcake: $1.50 I tried the red velvet, and not the bacon one. The red velvet one was good, but nothing that I cannot make. It was bright red like usual, topped with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting sprinkled with chocolate shavings. It wasn't dry, but not extremely moist. My friend had both cupcakes and loved them. He said the maple bacon cupcake "tasted like breakfast!" The rest of the bakery sold frosted cookies, jumbo cookies, cakes, and 3 sizes of cupcakes (jumbo, regular, & mini). Also, there was a deli section with sandwiches. I didn't try any of the other items, so I can't say much about those. read more

A woman from the neighboring office dropped off a white box today, with the explanation "I'm not allowed to bring them into the office anymore, so I'm offering these to you." In the mysterious box were several mini cupcakes in Lemon, Banana (which I thought were chocolate chip... an unpleasant surprise for taste buds), and Red Velvet. Knowing that Im the office sweet tooth, I got to sample them first. I thought I was turned off to gourmet cupcakes forever after the sugary sweetness of Sprinkles and Crumbs, but these little cupcakes were great. Especially the lemon ones. The frosting looks thick, but it's light and fluffy... perfectly delicious. EDIT 9/28/08 I visited this place for the first time after developing a craving for the lemon cupcake. I was lucky enough to snag a 24 minute parking space and didnt have to drive up and down Manhattan. I bought 2 medium lemon cupcakes and a chocolate cupcake with white frosting. I should note that the chocolate cupcake tasted like duncan hines chocolate cake. Not that that's a bad thing. The real reason I'll come back to this place is because the frosting isnt overwhelming. There isnt 6 inches of frosting you have to spelunk through to get to the cake portion of the cupcake. To me, the frosting to cake ratio is perfect. The only reason I docked it one star is the lack of variety. They only have red velvet, carrot, lemon, white, and chocolate. Also, their sandwiches are pretty sizable, as they should be at $7. I bought a chicken salad, which was tasty but nothing to scream about. read more

Great neighborhood bakery with delicious cookies . Wonderful source for group event desserts

becker's is the best!!!! their cookies have completed my childhood, i love them so much!!! my family always gets cookies, donuts, cupcakes, and cakes from this local bakery!! today i got the turkey sandwich on squaw bread, and it was delicious!!! i do not usually get sandwiches from their deli, but i will definitely start to!!! they were very generous with the turkey, and you can tell that it is very quality meat. the squaw bread is made fresh in house and it is so soft and delicious, and everything goes together perfectly in the sandwich!! it also comes with really good potato chips, a yummy sugar cookie, and a pickle!! what a great deal. i also got 4 surfboard cookies - the signature staple cookie at beckers. they are cookies shaped like surfboard with the best sugary icing!! SO AMAZING!!! these cookies have always been my favorite along with the sugar cookies with the imprinted picture frosting, those are the best!!! they always have such fun and cute pictures on the cookies, and always so many to choose from!! i am not sure if they still sell these, but beckers donuts are very underrated!!! my family used to get a dozen every wednesday (when they used to have a special deal on Wednesday, not sure if they still do this because of covid). the donuts are some of the best i have ever had, and always fresh!! my family also gets cakes from beckers monthly, just because. there is never a reason to need cake. but they are so good and moist, and the frosting is perfect - not too sweet but just sweet enough. Becker's is the BEST!! thank you so much for the good food and cookies, see you guys again soon!!! read more

Stopped in here on a whim to grab and coffee and walk The Strand to Hermosa. I saw the cookies and had to try. I can honestly say it was probably THE best cookie I've ever had in my life. Serious! Im so bummed I didn't get more. If you like Frosted (Icing) Sugar Cookies, get one here...all shapes, colors and sizes and the are DELICIOUS!!! Hope to get back someday. read more

The best thing about Becker's Bakery is the surfboard cookies. I get them for special occasions and when I'm feeling like I've earned a reward. Today was such a day. I arrived at 4:11 p.m. only to find they close at 4 p.m. This is a real bummer as they also don't open until 8 a.m. So if you want something on your way to or from work, you are out of luck. Boo hoo. read more

On Tuesday I found out that the cake and cookies I ordered for Saturday could not be made due to injury. After a bit of research I happened on Becker's. Tried calling to no avail so drove the dreaded PCH and asked if they could do a quick order. YES! NO PROBLEM! Cake and cookies for 25-30 people in 4 days, just over $200 and perfect. Really delicious. The staff was super helpful and easy going. One improvement is for us who are unfamiliar or unsure because of timeline, don't send us to email-please answer or return calls! read more

Becker's has done it again. Thank you for your delicious treats at a weeks notice. We needed a great treat for our dessert table at our party, and it had to be personalized. We came one week before pick up with a flash drive in hand and ordered 24 personalized cookies. Why not 5 stars, well, because sometimes I'm a cheapskate and $50 or so bucks is a lot of dang money for 24 cookies. But omg , they are so worth it! We had people hiding more than their share at our party because they wanted more than what we were passing out as thank you's. I'm talking Thunder dome battles for the last ones. Yeah , the cookies are that good. read more

Every birthday cake of my life, my children's lives, even my wedding cake came from Becker's Bakery. This family owned and run historic bakery that opened during WWII, provides an impressive variety of not only spectacular bake goods, but also delicious sandwiches, with a creative and homemade flair. In times, of joy, I celebrate here. In my times of distress, when it seems nothing else could go wrong, I will return to Becker's Bakery, like a pilgrimage towards my own emotional salvation, purchase a cupcake, sit across the alley on the concrete block that faces the ocean, hear the waves and the spongy perfection of the texture in my mouth, smell the sea spray as it intermingles with the scent of a frosting and cake with over 80 years in development, slowly chewing and swallowing the very best thing to have ever melted in my mouth, and have moment of clarity: NOTHING in my life could POSSIBLY be better than it is AT THIS MOMENT of UTTER PERFECTION. And just like that, I am saved, I am complete, and the moment is real and truer than any issue in my life. Suddenly, my problems truly are washed away and become as relatively trivial as they are, compared to this moment, made possible ONLY by Becker's Bakery. If you are within an hour of this location, don't miss an opportunity of a lifetime to experience real, old world bake goods in the middle of a very modern world where cost cutting is the norm. It is 15 minutes from LAX, so just fly in if you have to. Becker's Bakery makes my world right again. May it do the same for yours too. read more

Becker's Bakery - Heaven you can eat. - Bakeries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Just picked up a dozen mini cupcakes from Becker's and will definitely be returning to this little mom and pop gem in DTMB. Although I only ate two, I could have easily devoured all of them. The minis are a perfect bite sized snack to satisfy that afternoon sugar craving without making you feel guilty for eating a sweet treat. The cake was moist and the frosting was the perfect level of sweet. I like that it's locally owned and has a beachy feel to it. I've also purchased their gingerbread house kits during the holidays too. It's pricy but worth it if you have kids and makes for a great nighttime activity with little ones. Comes with everything premade and plenty of trimmings for a well-decorated gingerbread house. read more

This place was bookmarked for the longest time. I really wanted to try their chocolate cookie, oatmeal glazed cookie and the famed surfboard cookie.

I've been coming to this place since I was a toddler (and I now have my own). It has been a staple in our family celebrations for over 30 years. Today, I came in to buy a last minute birthday cake for my husband and received the most terrible customer service of my life. When I asked about getting something made last minute, I was talked down to and dismissed. Fine. They didn't have any ready made cakes that were appropriate so I proposed that I purchase a number of brownies in the case and asked if they could please write happy birthday or something on them so it looked more official. Nope, that would be a special order. I asked if I purchased one of their cakes would they write happy birthday. Yeah. Okay, so could I pay you extra to write happy birthday on the brownies? Nope. Never. Not going to happen. Despite the inflexibility, I still ask to purchase 8 brownies, in the hopes that I can arrange them myself and put some candles on my own. When I ask for this the girl REFUSES to give me any of the brownies that are lined up. Instead she puts 1 random edge, 2 middle, 1 from the bottom, etc. When I asked if I could please have them all be from the same area, she said it was up to her "which ones she wanted to give me." I've never been told that I could not select something I am about to purchase. I almost walked out, but since these are my husband's favorite brownies and it is his birthday, I just sucked it up. I don't know who they are hiring to work this place nowadays, but the customer service has gone to *#@!. The young employees could literally care less if you've been a customer for 30+ years, if they don't want to help you, it's not going to happen. A sad day for me and my family indeed. read more

I will say the price is right here especially if you wanna order for parties they make everything fresh and I can definitely taste that. With that said if I tried these tomorrow I'm sure they wouldn't keep. Flavors are classic- the texture for the shortbread cookies a little dry- (I do know this is a personal preference but I'm comparing them to my favorite Victor Benes bakery in the Palisades iced cookie whose texture is ideal when baked fresh..& been buying them there for over 20 years). I'm not a fan of buttercream icing but if you are it's got a light and fluffy texture to it and their sugar frosting was good too. For the cinnamon roll and baked donut, they were moist and just right for today this morning. The frosting are super sweet. The girl said the choc chip cookies are the best she's ever had but my standards are a bit higher since the chocolate itself didn't wow me and the overall balance of crisp to moist wasn't dramatically different. Again, I would buy here for a party since the price is a bargain especially for this neighborhood read more

I planned my daughter's birthday party to be held at my parents that live in Gardena, CA yet I live in Arizona. All other bakeries I called required me to be present to place a custom cake order but not Becker's. I was able to email them a pic of what I wanted and they were able to accommodate. Cake exceeded my expectations, especially being my first time order with them. Cake was delicious and moist. Top layer was chocolate with chocolate ganache, and bottom was white cake with raspberry filling. read more

Nice old school bakery eight by the beach. I was surprised to find such fair pricing at such a prime location, small cookies were 75 cent, the huge oatmeal cookie I got under $2. The selection was rather sparse, I assume they bake much to order such as occasion cakes. Service was friendly, no seating, to go only and there are a few parking spots out front as well as on the side of the building. The cookie was ok, but nothing special, kind of bland. Ok, but not worth rushing back to. read more

Becker's bakery has a great selection of goods. I personally like to visit them for their buttercream covered cookies they taste great and are super convenient when you need some quick snacks for the crew, plus they always got cool and funny designs. read more

BEWARE the customer service as of late is TERRIBLE. They have limited offerings and low quantities but won't take calls to verify the availability of items. I came on two different occasions in the morning and I don't live close. After arriving I find out they either sold out or didn't have what I want. I understand not taking phone orders but not answering the phone at all is ridiculous. You have lost a long time customer. read more

If you are at the beach, this is a great place to pickup a sandwich. My favorite is their turkey/provolone on pumpernickel. It comes with a sugar cookie, yum! They have THE BEST cookies. You can also order a customized cookie, I've done that for Super Bowl parties. The only downside is that during the summer and busy days at the beach, you will have a really hard time getting a parking spot. So just keep that in mind if you are coming here as a destination :)! Sweet! read more

Lets start with the good, the cake for a birthday/ mothers day celebration was gorgeous. When we sliced and ate it, a totally different story. It was a chocolate and vanilla cake, we couldn't tell the difference between the two flavors. They taste the same like nothing and was kinda dry. Also the frosting was sweet... the end. We have been buying cakes here for years and years and they have been going steadily down hill (as my son pointed out.) Don't know what happened here but will go else where next time. The cookies are still good. read more

mmm mmm great, love the sandwiches and the cookies. Then you walk to the beach. C'mon.

Love half price Wednesday's! If you're in the area this deal can't be beat. Today was the first time I had the new donuts. They are so fluffy and delicious. Not greasy at all, I think they're baked not fried. Will def come back for these again! read more

Becker's first popped up on my radar almost 3 years ago! It was always on my list, but I never got around to it... Until now. I was in Manhattan Beach and I am SO glad I stopped at Becker's. I tried 3 things: Surfboard Sugar Cookie - A popular favorite of Becker's, I had to try. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies so I wasn't expecting much. Then I bit into this cookie. I kid you not, my eyes literally widened with shock. It was AMAZING. Cookie Monster Sugar Cookie - I had to get this one just because it was SO adorable and I am a huge Cookie Monster fan. The cookie and the icing was DELICIOUS! However, I would recommend taking some of the icing off before devouring this treat unless you want an extreme sugar overload! Red Velvet Cupcake - Red velvet cupcakes are one of my favorite and Becker's did not disappoint. The cake was moist and tasted GREAT! Highly recommend stopping by, just be warned it's by the beach so parking can be a little tricky! Keep change on you for the meters. - IG @thefoodiesaur read more

Sandwiches AND Cupcakes AND cookies!!! Three of my fave things to eat all in the same place! Unlike Cupcake Coulture across the street, Beckers is a no frills deli a walk from the beautiful beach. A simple sandwich menu, this is no Bay Cities or Zeldas, but they give u huge portions for a reasonable price. For 10 bucks, the bf and i shared a huge Beckers Special Sandwich and a red velvet cupcake with strawberry frosting and a complimentary cookie. They were out of French bread, so we settled with Squaw bread. The meats and cheese were tasty and bread was soft, but i felt that a trip to Trader joes, and i could have made the same thing (but some people know that i would never get around to do that-right Travis?). It was a great, simple lunch. I forgot to grab some of those Superbowl cookies. Cute! read more

Your service really sux if my little niece noticed that you were being rude. Sunday after a late lunch I asked my niece what she wanted for dessert. I picked Becker since my niece wanted cupcakes and this bakery was on my bookmark since Cesar R wrote his review. There was only one customer before us and we were greeted right away. We had a hard time deciding because there were a lot of colorful pretty stuff there. We got cupcakes, cookies and cake pops. I noticed the worker wasn't really listening and kept asking us to repeat what we wanted. My niece said they gave us 1 bacon cupcake instead of one but I didn't really think anything of it. "Why was the worker being rude. I saw her face expression like she was unhappy to help us everytime we requested for more stuff?" That was the comment my niece said when we walked out. I immediately stopped walking and was stunned at her comment. I did notice the worker didn't really want to be there but my niece confirmed my suspicion. The baked goods were not good. Red velvet icing was sliding off cake when I opened my box. The service was even worse. Bacon: bacon makes everything better. The cake was tasteless and it was okay because of the bacon on top. They really should learn from My Delight Cupcakery how to make a great bacon cupcake. Red velvet cupcakes: didnt really taste like it but at least it was moist. Banana cupcake: could taste a little banana and frosting was super sweet. Bacon maple cookie: I couldnt taste the cookie at all. All I tasted was sugar. The bacon wasn't even attached to the cookie when I opened my bag. It was just like eating a slice of bacon plus a cookie with sweet maple icing. Cake pops vanilla and chocolate: The vanilla tasted better than the chocolate. I couldn't eat the chocolate. Vanilla tasted like weird sweet moist ball. My niece made a comment earlier today that Buttercelli is much better than that bakery near the beach. She said that the bacon cookie was nasty and she threw it away after she took a bite. 1 star!! My Delight Cupcakery has great cupcakes and great customer service. Becker bakery is not yummylicious!!! read more

I now possess hard evidence...photographic testimony that the wife...in fact....does NOT hate me all THAT much......NAY....It's LOVE....disguised with BACON. Exhibit A: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lrXwSWZbyMv8c-nFrXNQog?select=A46DOZEF3bSnjBL9hBV1tg Surprise Motherfu*king Maple Bacon Bar Imagine my delight as I arrive home after a looooong day at work and the wife says "I have a surprise for you" and hands me this brown paper bag that is practically translucent due to the sheer amount of bacon grease that had seeped through after a rather harsh commute from Manhattan Beach to Hacienda Heights.... Exhibit B: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lrXwSWZbyMv8c-nFrXNQog?select=Szt-upT76hcz1d3b1G7muA Maple Bacon Cupcake I'll admit I had quite lowered expectations for this cupcake after being spoiled by My Delight Cupcakery's Bacon Breakfast Cupcakes http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/VmE2IkApYpYRjTYT_ktgCQ?select=ImKIaXaQvfBrEUqO92QGZQ THE quintessential bacon cupcake is ONLY in Ontario my friends. HOWEVER....the Becker interpretation was not bad...fluffy yet moist cake, decent maple type frosting and tasty salty bacon bits....It's nice....but it simply can't hold a candle to My Delight's version. ON THE OTHER HAND.......That Maple Bacon Bar was EXCELLENT! Memories of my childhood rushed back to me....my dad sneaking out early Sunday mornings while we were all asleep to grab coffee and donuts for us....then me waiting patiently to hear the car pull back into the driveway so I can run out and beat my sisters to that warm Maple Bar I loved so much. Two decades later...that familiar maple bar is now generously coated with crunchy, salty pork and I am as happy as that 10 year old boy on an early Sunday morning. Bear in mind, the donut had been sitting around for a few hours and it was STILL rich, flavorful, semi moist/fluffy.....sweet from the maple glaze and salty from the bacon....I can only imagine how great this would be fresh out of the fryer....regardless, it ended up being a perfect dinner alongside the other cupcakes the wife brought me http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lrXwSWZbyMv8c-nFrXNQog?select=RoN7vGQN0FvrVp225ZF4Ag I know, I know....I gotta stop eating such healthy, well rounded dinners. So a sincere thanks to the wife who I love more than she knows and who perhaps loves me more than she should....

Location, location, location. It's a block from the sand and Manhattan Beach Pier. That, plus....it's a bakery and more, as I discovered yesterday morning. I was headed to my hair salon, a few doors away, on an empty tummy. So I dropped into Becker's to grab some kind of food to take with me. Their baked goods on display are as colorful as a rainbow, eye candy to the max. And they have a sandwich menu as well: chicken salad, tuna salad, ham, turkey club, even a vegetarian sammie......and more, all in the $7-8 range. What to do, what to do, think fast the stylist is waiting..... Screw the healthy stuff, gimmie a blueberry muffin!! Well. For 2 bucks that thing was huge. Chock full of blueberries and very moist, no crumbs when you scarf it down in a fancy hair salon, thank you Universe. But. Becker's had no butter. What the heck. You expect a Midwest girl to eat a muffin without butter? I told the Becker's proprietor that back home we put butter on everything, we put butter on pizza godammit. We put butter on butter. When I was a kid I ate sticks of butter like popsicles. What's better than butter? More butter! Nobody in my family ever had a heart attack........wait......OUCH....*plop* No! jk..... Great muffin, needed butter. Next time I'll try a sammie but they better have a crapload of mayo to dip it into. : D (Very friendly service, btw, despite the fact that I came off like a crazy lady obsessed with butter.) read more

Cookies and Cupcakes and and Sweet Treats galore! My mom and I stopped by Becker's Bakery last Thursday afternoon to pick up something sweet to bring back to our group... While I'd been in once before, I didn't remember the selection and appearance of Becker's baked goods - nor did I realize that everything in the shop is pretty affordable too! We stocked up on a variety of big, beautiful cookies - over a dozen for less than $12 - and they were a hit! I'll have to remember to stop by Becker's to try their sandwiches next visit to Manhattan Beach - they looked delicious as well! "The Natural" is calling my name. I also noticed a sign that said Becker's creates 'picture cookies.' Bring in any picture or photo and they can put it on a cookie or cake for you... fun! read more

I brought a box of 6 hybrids (Becker's version of cronuts) to a get together with my friends and we all enjoyed them immensely! We tried pumpkin spice, vanilla, chocolate, lemon, and cream-filled. Only the cream-filled ones have filling, by the way, so the flavoring is in the glaze on top and therefore on the subtle side. For the pumpkin spice hybrid, I was hoping for a pumpkin custard or cream filling, but even without, it was still good. I was able to place an order over email and pay ahead of time, so pick up was fast and easy, although that may vary depending on the parking situation at the time of pick up. I was lucky enough to find a spot on the street with time left on the meter. One of the better cronut versions I've tried in LA and not too spendy at $2 a pop. read more

The cookies I ordered for Christmas were excellent, as usual, but the cake was, once again, dry. It was beautifully decorated, though!
