Ordered a 1/2 sheet cake for my daughter's birthday- it was AMAZING. White cake, whipped cream and fresh strawberries- hands down one of the best cakes I've ever ordered. This was my first experience with this bakery. I had been dying to try their princess cake so I purchased two pieces of that as well totally worth the hype. The oatmeal cookies were also outstanding. I'm really glad it's a little out-of-the-way for me to get there. Otherwise I think I'd be eating there every week. read more

I can't believe it took me so long to try this place that I've passed by so many times over the years. I ordered the princess cake, Swedish style cinnamon bun, and Swedish style cardamom bun. The cake was light, fluffy, and delicious. The buns were tender, fresh, and had a nice delicate flavor. Overall, I was very impressed and will be back to try more! read more

Long wait! Good selection of bread and lots of folks buying. As far as the Swedish pastries I've had the very best in the US at the Konditori in Bev Hills CA now closed unfortunately and so is Scandia. Have to go to Sweden! read more

Made in just in time before closing on a Friday rainy evening. They still had a nice amount of baked goods/pastries left and cakes and bread in general. A couple of favorites were already gone like the cookie croissant but today I had my sights set on the Poppy seed streusel danish. It was soft, buttery, and just perfect with that streusel crumbly topping. I was excited to see they sell Princess cakes. I seldom see them and forget how good they are. They also have some coffee drinks and sandwiches. This place is a true gem. read more

A few years ago, I was obsessed with Swedish Princess Cake but couldn't locate a place that sold it. The obsession recently resurfaced, and a Yelp search led me here. Berolina Bakery is a family-owned business that has been serving the community since 1991. It's very much a traditional European style bakery serving freshly baked Artisan breads, Danishes, croissants, traditional European cakes, pastries, & cookies. They also offer breakfast staples, sandwiches, salads, & soup. They only allow 6 customers in at a time. However, there are a few tables inside and outside seating as well, so you can enjoy your food & beverage. I arrived just as they opened, so the display case was not completely full. I was disappointed that I did not see any slices of the coveted Princess Cake. The nice lady behind the counter told me it wasn't available yet. Instead, I got a Rum Baba and a Chocolate Kouign-Amann for a friend. The Rum Baba had a soft, dense rum cake filling. It was wrapped in marzipan and both ends were dipped in chocolate. The filling had a nice flavor. The marzipan was soft and tasty with a hint of almond flavoring. It was a delightful treat. My friend enjoyed the Chocolate Kouign-Amann. Next time I'm in the area I'll stop in a try a few pastries and, hopefully, the Princess Cake. *Small parking lot & street parking. *Cashless read more

Such a cute spot. Loved their almond pastries and their coffee was good, a little too much foam for a latte but still tasting good. Also loved their apple muffin. Service was good too. Will definitely be back again soon! read more

I recently found out about Berolinas while I've been searching for my perfect birthday cake and I'm so glad I did. Their princess cake is stellar and so delicious. The thick cream, jam and cake are all masterfully crafted and beautifully assembled. I've yet to try any of their other baked goods because every time I go, I just need to get a slice of the cake. They have a dedicated parking lot and outdoor seating. Staff is attentive and kind. Best of all prices are very reasonable. read more

Somebody recently recommended Berolina Bakery to me while I was in the neighborhood. I was looking for a dark bread that was a bit lighter than what you mostly find. They have a wonderful selection of bread and the bakery in general smells great. The service was very attentive and thorough, with all my questions expertly answered. I have not tried the bread yet, but was delighted to find some gorgeous, green Princess cakes in the case that were ideal for spring. These cakes are quite difficult to find. I took a slice to go. It tasted exactly like the similar cakes I had in Europe. The cake was moist and the cream and berry preserves were excellent taste and texture. It was not cloyingly sweet. I would like to return to try the bread. read more

Dropped by before heading over to the Descanso gardens. It a simple bakery with a small storefront with loads of different baked goods. There were a couple seats outside for you to sit and enjoy the baked items. Danishes - We got the Custard, Apricot and strawberry cheese danishes and I had mixed feelings about them. The pastries components were okay, but some felt more fresh than others. The fillings were pretty good, but the icing sugar distributions were not equal and, at times over whelming. For example, the apricot one I had was overpowered by sweetness because it was covered in sugar. Would recommend, but really pick specific danishes that have your sugar to danish ratio. Kouignamann - I love Kouignamanns so this was great! You get crispiness of individual layers of pastries and then the crunch from the solidified sugar. Would recommend. read more

My husband and I have been wanting to try this place. It's only a few minutes from our house and finally had time to give it a try a couple days ago. There was a line to get in so thought, "Oh this place must be pretty good." The bakery only allows 6 shoppers at a time so it's kind of tight inside. There are a few workers there to help. The one that was helping me wasn't the friendliest person. I was trying to ask questions and the response was very "irritated and almost rude" attitude. So this kind of turned me away from asking more questions already. I got the morning bun, kouign amann, slices of the princess cake and berry tart. The princess cake wasn't "amazing" like a lot of the reviews stated. It was a little flavorless and didn't taste like anything special. The berry tart barely had any filling and the crust was pretty thick. My daughter devoured all the sugary fruit so guess that was a success. The morning bun was dry with a slight cinnamon taste. Not worth it. The kouign amann was pretty decent. My family loves these and to find a bakery that has them is a joy. Think the kouign amanns were the highlight for us at this bakery. read more

I really enjoyed my visit here. It can get a little chaotic during the lunch rush, but the workers all have good attitudes and took care of everyone. They have a ton of pastry options, as well as sandwiches, paninis, salads, and a full espresso machine as well. The chipotle turkey panini was great as was the espresso. A lot of people were coming in just for loafs of bread, so I will definitely be back to try the baked goods. read more

A friend brought a chocolate pecan cake as a gift to my house. Unfortunately, it was terrible. It tasted very bad and even smelled like rubber. No one was able to eat it. I contacted the owner to let her know about the issue. She told me that the person who purchased the cake would need to bring it back in order for her to address the problem, and she was unable to help me directly. I didn't want to make my friend uncomfortable by telling them that the cake was inedible, so I chose not to pursue it further. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. The product was poor, the customer service was unhelpful, and it was a regrettable purchase. read more

We stumbled upon this place on a whim! We were trying to get to a different cafe but do to heavy construction it was difficult to get in, so we pulled into this shop for a quick bite to eat. It was amazing seeing all the fresh baked bread upon entry. The workers were kind, and patient as we decided our order. The food was phenomenal! We had a sandwich, a breakfast panini, cheese danish and decided to try the princess cake upon seeing it was popular. Wow! Some of the best pastries I've had! This seems like a local spot for many folk as many people were coming in and picking up bread and pastries for their families. Will gladly be back when in the area! read more

I can't believe I've lived in the area for this long and have only tried Berolina Bakery for the first time recently! I came with my grandparents and we loved the sandwiches. The price is unbeatable given the insane cost of going out to eat these days. About $8-10 per sandwich. We enjoyed the pastrami panini, cold turkey sandwich, and brie panini. Highly recommend the rosemary bread for the paninis. Would love if they made a vegan tofu or chickpea sandwich! We sat outside under the shade. Fortunately found a good parking spot but it got crowded later on a weekday around 2 pm. My only complaint is that the food took a while to come out, maybe 25-30 min. Glad to see that they had a steady stream of customers though. read more

Ordered ahead for their signature Swedish princess cake. It's a sponge cake with raspberry jam, whipped cream and vanilla custard. The outside is covered in a green marzipan fondant. We ordered for pickup in the morning for a lunch birthday but we got a call the evening before that the cake was ready. We weren't able to call in as their phone asks us to email. We stopped by the next day to pickup. It was quick and ready to go. However the lettering was a little off perhaps the heat melted some of the piping. Parking is available on the street and there was a good number of people enjoying their Saturday morning outside on the tables. read more

Berolina does no wrong. The consistency in terms of freshness is trustworthy. Also, their staff is incredibly friendly and patient. My favorite is anything with poppyseed, especially the Scandinavian breakfast (poppyseed bread & Havarti cheese). And last but not least, their princess cake is out of this world and yummy. read more

Low IQ employees. No dogs allowed except service animals but they ask you for proof for your 8lbs dog that's literally doing nothing and is on a leash. I was told they won't allow the dog, asked for proof, told to go wait outside for someone to take my order, I go wait outside then ask them who's going to take my order and they tell me there's no table service. I said so how do you want me to place my order? (Btw in all of this interaction I could've just purchased my pastry)... she responded back you're going to have to leave it outside. I don't have a problem doing that but the experience was so dramatic for no reason. I left and will never be back. read more

The Crookie! What's that? It's the latest IG/Tik Tok craze has made it's way from Maison Louvard in Paris to LA. Basically a butter croissant with chocolate chip cookie baked on the top and stuffed with cookie dough in the middle. I just had to try one! Just happen to be strolling in south Ocean View, Montrose by chance since I was in the area doing errands. Walked in and I was surprised to see "The Crookie". The lady in front of me was trying to convince me to get the Bammsugare Vacuum which is what this place is known for as well as the Swedish Princess Cake. My mind and tummy was focused on "The Crookie". Those other two items are old news. This combo makes for a great family: Flakey butter croissant married to chocolate cookie with baby cookie dough inside. For $5.99, this thing was dense and full of good calories. Berolina is somewhat tucked on the south end of Montrose which is sometimes forgotten. Worth a drive down Ocean View Ave towards this way to enjoy the small time mid Century feel. Great to support the great local family businesses down here. read more

I first tried this Princess Cake from a family friend in the La Canada~ Montrose Area. The family friend ONLY gets birthday cake from Berolina Bakery, particularly their Swedish Princess Cake and I totally get it now as I had to order this Princess Cake for my own grandma because she is very picky and it is not a rich, overwhelming cake. It is soooooo delicious! Everyone who has tried this cake, loved it. First of all, the beautiful green coloring of the marzipan cake is so adorable. It's so pleasing to the eye. The packaging is also very cute too. But on to the flavor of the cake itself, it is a moist, fluffy, white cake that is triple layered filled with a thin and delicate raspberry jam fill, a beautifully whipped vanilla, and cream. This is a traditional Swedish cake. It is marvelous and you can't help but get another slice. You don't feel guilty eating this cake like you do with overly buttery or heavy fudge cakes packed with frosting. It is the best cake I ever had actually. This cake is pure delicacy and can easily be enjoyed with tea or coffee. Honestly it's so good I may just order this cake for my own birthday. They have a counterpart to this Princess Cake called the Prince Cake and that is a chocolate type of cake which I'm sure is magnificent and will have to try when I'm back soon. I actually learned that back in the day my grandma used to take the bus and stop by to get pastries from this Montrose bakery. She loves baked goods especially when the authentic taste and craftsmanship is there transporting her to Europe! read more

This place has potential but sadly falls short in many areas. The pastries are decent and princess cake is good, that's about it. I went to pick up a cake and decided to have breakfast. My husband got the panini breakfast sandwich which was a flat greasy mess lacking flavor. I went with the Parisian breakfast which came with a cold croissant, cold rock solid sticks of butter, jam, and Brie. It also came with coffee and OJ but somehow they were out of juice before 10AM. The coffee was extremely hot and bitter. I asked to have the croissant toasted but they said it wouldn't be possible. Not sure how I'm supposed to spread cold butter on cold bread and cheese. To top it off they forgot to give us the pastry we ordered. Such a shame. read more

Berolina is a nice local bakery that's pretty reliable. I usually go for the crème brûlée, which is always good. Their bread isn't exactly top tier compared to some other bakeries, but it's consistent and a solid go-to when you want fresh bread. The staff is friendly, and the shop is in a nice area, which makes stopping by a pleasant experience overall. read more

I had tea down the block and decided to stop in to Berolina to try some Swedish baked goods since I haven't had them before. How lucky are we that we get to have treats from around the world here in LA County! How fun. It's located in a little shopping strip with a small parking lot. I couldn't find parking in the lot but was able to snag a spot in the residential area a block away. There are tables on the sidewalk for those who want to enjoy their food there. There's a line outside with instructions that they allow 6 people in at a time. I entered the shop and was wowed by all the beautiful baked items behind the glass. I was really impressed by the artistic skill it takes to make these pastries, many of them are twisted and knotted and transformed into these edible works of art! They also have a bunch of different loaves of bread in baskets behind the register. If you want some packaged Swedish goodies and merchandise, they have some on a shelf for purchase as well! There were 4 girls helping customers and they were friendly and helpful. I asked the girl helping me about which loaf of bread I should try as I wanted one with a softer interior like a white bread, and she gave me some recommendations. I was intrigued by their green Princess cake so I had to get a slice of that. In addition, I got: Prince cake slice Austrian Bread loaf 2 Kouign Ammans (regular & chocolate) Almond Croissant Saffron Bun w/ Almond paste Swedish Cardamom Bun Swedish Cinnamon Bun Cheese danish bun Apple danish bun It's interesting to compare the Swedish version of these baked goods to a French version. I am used to the french style Kouign Amman and croissants that are airy, buttery, and flaky. The Swedish ones are dense and bready. In fact, all the items I ordered across the board are dense and bready, so that seems to be the style of Swedish baking. Not bad, just different. I didn't realize that cardamom was such a prevalent spice in Sweden so that was neat to taste it in a pastry. The prince and princess cake that everyone seems to love was just average in my opinion. It is definitely a unique cake with a beautiful color scheme and a cool dome shape, but it didn't wow me. I liked the Austrian bread once you toast it a bit. I'd love to come back and try different loaves if I'm in the area again! read more

It's a European bakery. Kind of hidden unless you are a local you might miss it. They make excellent cakes (they have several versions of the Princess cake that are wonderful) pastries, sandwiches, quiches, beautiful breads (I love the olive bread), danishes and rolls etc. A couple of tables are set inside and simple outside sitting is available. They serve fresh coffee and orange juice. You may eat there or grab and go. I go out of my way to stop there when I'm in the vicinity. read more

I really wish I was not giving this review right now because I really like their princess cakes and they're delicious but this buffoonery is unacceptable. I ordered their pumpkin princess cake after seeing the photo on their site and I thought it would look absolutely cute on our Thanksgiving table. Unfortunately what I ordered was not what I received when I picked it up. Now I understand that a lot of times what you see online may be different to what you pick up but most of those times they at least look somewhat similar. This does not look like they even tried to replicate the photo on their site. Who made the cake on their website? Because that's who I wanted to make my cake. Sucks, I was rooting for you Berolina. What is this nonsense? :( read more
