Finally made it to Helms Bakery and gifts. I love renovations of historic buildings and bringing it back to life. Smaller than I imagined, the bakery has a counter for the pies, cakes and pastries and another counter just next to it for coffees and drinks and more of the same pastries. I have to rave about the strawberry pie. Probably the best strawberry pie from a bakery ever. The strawberries are from Tanai family farm. The glaze is way better than Marie Callender's actually Helms Strawberry pie is 10x better! The crust was flaky and similar to a croissant. Maybe it's a croissant crust? I like it. I would travel to buy this pie (which I did!). Also tried the cherry blossom mousse tiramisu- not sweet, very light cherry blossom essence. I wouldn't know the flavor if it wasn't on the card description. It's good when you want something very light to have with tea. The pistachio chocolate chip cookie was packed with pistachios and chips! Every bite had a morsel. So good! It was a hot day and was going to have bubbly water but decided to try their Royal latte - espresso with earl grey tea. Ordered this iced. This was slightly bitter but the goodness from the pastries tapered this. Merchandise all around. A little something for everyone on your list. There was a table with Dodgers themed items too. I had to get the Hello Kitty pink glass. Perfect for juice or any cold beverage. There is also hot food and grab and go food as well. A very quaint and quiet Saturday afternoon. I was glad since parking was easy and we strolled into the bakery without a crowd or line of people. Will definitely be back for more strawberry pie before it's out of season! read more

Helms has something for everyone! A gorgeous display of refreshments, deli food and pastries & an open kitchen where you see the bakery work in progress! The workers were the sweetest and recommended their popular pastries. There is a coffee bar, a pastry section, and a separate counter to buy deli food + beverages + other cute goodies! Plenty of parking and outdoor seating. I went at 8:15am so there was no wait but it was slowly getting busy, and it was fun seeing the new pastries come out! Corn cake w/ cinnamon frosting was recommended by the worker and it was delish. Def want to come back to try the other foods but will have to come at off-hours or when it opens. read more

We came here on a Sunday morning for a quick breakfast before heading to Santa Monica for an event. My partner and I shared the maple latte and a butter green onion scone. The scone was quite salty, but it balanced nicely with the sweet maple latte. The inside of the bakery was cute, filled with merchandise, drinks, deli items and knick knacks. I definitely need to come back and try the other baked goods. read more

Helms Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Helms has not given a good first impression. Crowds were expected. But once we entered the doors it took 1 hour and 15 minutes just to get items from the bakery. That's absurd. Why? Because they only have one person taking orders while 2-3 others just stand around or stay on the cash register. We were disappointed that no fresh sandwiches were made. They get made, wrapped or packed, and stuck in the cooler/heated display. We took a chance with a hot sandwich and it was a fail. Most of the items are over priced, while some are just stupidly priced. $12 for a slice of cherry pie when it's not even cherry season? And a half size baguette for $8. Ridiculous. The hot food deli looked sad too, not like a "oh their still new and have room to improve" -sad, like the food itself just looked bland and boring. For the main food we went with the egg salad, pastrami, and caprese. The pastrami was outright bad. The bread was so soggy. The meat was in big chunks instead of sliced so it was chewy and rubbery. The egg salad - not sure if they're trying to replicate a Japanese konibini - was nothing close to $12 worth. Basic white bread and plain egg salad. The caprese however was shockingly good. Why? Because it was simple. Lots of creamy cheese, fresh basil, and the baguette was on point. The saving grace for the food itself were definitely the pastries, these two being reasonably priced at $6 each - a slice of pistachio olive oil cake and the pumpkin cheesecake. The pumpkin cheesecake was light, creamy, with a sharp aromatic crust. The olive oil cake was spongey, moist, and had a touch of sweetness and nuttiness from the pistachio cream. Another downside was the $0.10 bag charge. Not because of the $0.10 but because we were asked if we wanted a bag and at no point told it would be charged. read more

Wow the cafe / market is gorgeous! It's so bright and airy, I felt like I was at a food hall in London. The deli counter opens at 11am, but the morning was busy with people picking up coffee and pastries. Their merch assortment is cute too. I tried their cookies which were very large, and a cherry tiramisu brownie. I especially liked the pistachio cookie but they were all delicious. I'll need to come back to try the donuts, cakes, pies and the sandwiches! read more

Helms Bakery had a huge line wrapped around. The bakery area was crazy and could easily waited 1 hr but we decided to skip. We opted for their coffee and tea bar. - We got the cortado ($6) and honeydew mint tea ($5). Nothing special on those and didn't stand out on flavors (2/5). The tea was a bit bland. - We also went to the hot bar and got their jalapeño bbq chicken wings ($14) and their prosciutto and fig sandwich ($17). The chicken wings (3/5) were a bit dry in texture but the glaze was flavorful. Nothing special about these wings either. The sandwich was on a fresh baguette with mozzarella, prosciutto, and 3 slices of figs, with some spring lettuce (3.5/5). It was fresh but wasn't worth the high price of $17 for a small sandwich that tasted okay. I think they need to hire more workers especially at the bakery and the way they placed the lines are all bottle necks (bakery line looked the same straight line as the coffee line). Some people thought they were in line for coffee but was in the long line for bakeries. If they worked at the efficiencies of customer orders it would be better. Beautiful outside area and inside but that all gets lowered if you have to wait 1 hr for already baked pastries lol. read more

We got here at 10 AM, luckily before the line wrapped out the door. The location is fantastic and lots of free parking. After wards, we checked out one of my favorite bookstores and some cute shops in the plaza. The place was packed and my favorite part were the offerings at the market place. Whoever did their purchasing really did an amazing job with the selection of unique gifts and the imported snacks. The line to order was long but there was so much to look at and amuse us that it went by pretty fast. We saw a bunch of pie and cake slices by the window and by the time we got to the cashier, they disappeared. Staff was very friendly and kind! Great customer service. So, this review is going to be a little unfair because we went to Bottega Louie for a huge haul of desserts the night before and after coming here we were very underwhelmed. The ambience and everything about this place is great but it's not my favorite for pastries or desserts. My quick thoughts : Corn & Honey Pie : I was lured in by the beauty of the flowers and fruits but way too sweet. Pumpkin Pie : well balanced but nothing special like Urth Cafe's. The filling is light, needs more pumpkin! Raspberry Tonka Cremeux Cake : not bad, wouldn't order again. Tasted just a step above grocery store cake. Peach Cream Puff : extremely bland and the cream had the texture of mashed potatoes. Chipless cookie : very good! Cinnamon Roll : very good! We had a great experience here despite the sweets not blowing our minds! read more

This new spot is great. They have a vast selection of desserts and pastries, many with interesting flavor combos. The corn and honey pie was surprising and a crowd favorite. The custard filling had a corn-forward flavor and a sweet honey notes. The cherry pie was classic--tart and sweet with a flaky crust. The olive oil cake was simple, moist and made complete with pistachio frosting. The corn cake was another surprising favorite. Dense and crumbly like corn bread but more moist and sweeter. A delicious cinnamon frosting on top. The corn and caramel cookie was maybe a tad too sweet for my sensitive taste buds (no one eles agreed with me on this) but incredibly moist and also corn-forward. The croissant was perfect. Really crispy on the outside, flaky with buttery flavor, and not at all sweet. Fabulous. I'd get all of them again, especially the corn pie and cherry pie! Had the Royal latte (earl grey tea and espresso) and it was also too sweet for my liking but otherwise tasty. We also enjoyed a breakfast burrito from the hot shelf. It was mediocre but filling. As you can tell we tried sooo many things. Overall I'd take a visit to this bakery! It's very charming. Quick service but long lines. Lots of seating only outside. read more

Came by during the soft opening - they're still working logistics out, but I had a great first experience. I was around 7th in line when we get there 10 minutes before opening on a weekend morning, and they opened right at 8am. The line got very long very quickly, to the point where the line wrapped all the way around the interior and went out the door. There was a massive selection of pastries, and I got the pistachio olive oil cake, pumpkin cheesecake cookie, and pumpkin loaf. All were very good and tasted super fresh, and my favorite was probably the pumpkin loaf. Loved that they serve nekohama matcha here, too! My matcha was brewed nice and strong. Service was pretty solid, especially relative to how busy it was. Overall, would recommend coming before opening because the lines are pretty crazy right now - they only got longer as the morning went on. It also seems like the pastries are on a rotation, so if you're trying to get a specific pastry, it might not be there at the time you arrive. They're still nailing down logistics it seems, so hopefully ops are smoother by the time they open officially! Looking forward to going back later to try more stuff! Note: there is a separate line for coffee - the natural trajectory seems to be to go from the pastry line to the coffee line. There are also some pastries at the coffee bar, if you don't want to stand in the pastry line! read more

Stopped by Helms Bakery after hearing great things, and I can see why it's a local favorite. Everything in the pastry case looked incredible, but I ended up going with the Croissant Bread Pudding and the Citrus-Glazed Donut. Croissant Bread Pudding Super rich and buttery with a swirl of chocolate throughout. The outside had a beautiful caramelized crust, while the inside stayed soft and custardy. Flavor-wise, it hits all the right notes--decadent, comforting, and slightly indulgent. That said, it was heavy. After a few bites, it started to feel like a bit much. Definitely delicious, but not something I'd eat solo again--this one's best shared. Citrus-Glazed Donut This was the standout. The glaze had a vibrant citrus pop--fresh, zesty, and not overly sweet. The donut itself had that old-fashioned texture I love: crisp edges with a tender, cakey center. Bright and balanced, it was everything I didn't know I wanted in a donut. Service was friendly and efficient, and the pastries were packed in a nice box. I'd absolutely come back to try more (I'm eyeing the cinnamon rolls next), but the heaviness of the bread pudding kept this visit just shy of a 5-star experience. read more

The breakfast offerings weren't substantial so we Popped in to try the pastries after having breakfast across the street. We purchased an apple pie, brownie, chocolate chip cookie, and added a Nutella cookie by suggestion of the cashier. Everything was delicious, the pie is packed with apple, the brownie was decadent, the cookies were crispy but still soft. Nutella cookie was a great suggestion. There's plenty of seating outdoors to enjoy your snacks and take in the sun. read more

Wonderful pastries! I love their Pistachio cake! Their cookies were delicious! I enjoyed their Ham butter baguette sandwich. My sister raved about the Salmon tasting. Everything was top quality and next level! Kudos to the kind staff and owner! I am so sorry they are closing. Its not fair. But I'm glad I had one more chance to enjoy their excellent food. read more

Lots of outdoor seating with dogs, families, friends. Perfect for a quick bite - we've tried their sandwiches and pastries - and they are solid. read more

What a cool place. We hadn't been here before but growing up in LA the Helm's bakery has a very special place in our hearts (and bellies!) They've opened up a bakery with lots a great stuff as well as sandwiches, coffee, salads and more. We shared a coffee and a sweet corn cake - both were exceptional. I can't understand why they are only open until 5:00 pm on a Saturday - in summer! We'll definitely be back again! read more

Helms Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Every time I go to Helms Bakery I throughly enjoy the experience. I've gone every couple of weeks since they opened last November and am struck by the wonderful ambiance every time -- the windows to the kitchen of bakers, the pastries on display, and the friendly staff working behind the counters. I've tried various items from the breakfast burrito, chai lattes, baked goods, and other pre packed items and have never been disappointed. The cinnamon roll ($7) is AMAZING and I definitely recommend grabbing one if you're in the area in the morning -- they have them all day but in the morning they're on the warmer side. The olive oil cake is also outstanding. Overall, I'm obsessed with the execution of this place -- they seem to have something for everyone! read more

I loved this place the moment I walked in. I have a soft spot for spots with thoughtfully curated food products--and they even had Thrifty Ice Cream! Located in the Helms Design District, the bakery fits right in with the stylish, design-forward vibe of the shopping center. I visited in the late morning and headed straight to the back where the bakery section is. When a place has "bakery" in the name, I feel obligated to try the baked goods. There's also a prepared foods counter with sandwiches, pasta, and other items, but they were still setting up for lunch, so I'll save that for another visit. From the bakery, I picked up a loaf of sourdough bread and one pastry--my usual order when checking out a new bakery. I chose the ham and cheese croissant, which is my standard go-to. They offered to slice the bread, which was a nice touch. They also had cakes, pies, cookies, and more, but I decided to pace myself and try those another time. There's a coffee counter as well, and it looks like they roast their own beans. I grabbed an Americano to enjoy with my croissant on the patio. When I bit into the croissant, it shattered--in the best way. That crisp, flaky texture is exactly what I look for, reminiscent of the ones I've had in Europe. That said, the ham and cheese filling was a bit sparse. I still prefer the version at Tartine. As for the sourdough, I pulled a piece from the middle and noticed large gaps in the crumb--maybe due to high hydration or fermentation timing. Regardless, the hydration level was spot on and the flavor was solid. One thing that really stood out to me? They don't ask for tips. The service was friendly and attentive, clearly well-trained and customer-focused, without that awkward tip prompt. I genuinely appreciated that. Honestly, I'm pretty tip-fatigued these days, and it's refreshing to just pay for food without added pressure. I'd definitely return to pick up more sourdough and try additional pastries. I'm also tempted to come back for the sandwiches. The coffee, though, wasn't really my thing--it reminded me of Lamill's style, which tends to be too dark-roasted for my taste. read more

We eagerly went back on Friday and were delighted to the find the bakery buzzing.. on this trip we tried the apple pie, pumpkin pie, maple pie and nutella strawberry stuffed cookie. I didn't like the latter, but that maple pie is amazing, I can't wait to surprise some friends with it at our next house party. Seems like it would go well with whiskey. I also really love the apple pie, it was tart and tangy, reminds me of my favorite pink lady apples. Their pumpkin pie is probably the best one I've ever had. I really like the chef's delicate and subtle ways of using spice and flavor. 5 solid stars for all the food so far. Maybe one day I will try lunch when I've finally had my fill of their perfect croissants and decadent pies lol. I'm not sure whether they only bake on certain days or if they sell out sometimes. I would like to know since I live really close by; I'll update my review when I figure it out. read more

I am officially obsessed with Helms! I wish I lived closer, I would visit every day. I decided to stop in to grab a quick snack for my long commute home. I knew I was gonna go a bit crazy and I was right. I got their pistachio olive oil cake, the lemon cheesecake, tuna sandwich and Dijon potato salad. Every single thing I got was 10/10. I still can't get over the desserts!! The vibes are so cute and I love that they kept the essence of what helms was back in the day. They had so many great items. I can't wait to visit again soon and try more things. read more

Helms Bakery - Xmas tree - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Originally announced in 2012, Sang Yoon's Helms Bakery finally opened in the Culver City Helms Bakery complex in November 2024, and from the market to baked goods plus free parking almost everything about the space is an upgrade on similar concepts elsewhere. Located catty-corner to Father's Office, Sunday morning finding staff busy with just a few outside seats available, it was after perusing everything from $20 Llama dog treats to Runts Candy that Coffee was procured from one counter while eleven Pastries ran just under $60 from the other. Fair priced considering So.Cal standards, an open kitchen allowing guests to watch Loaves or Cakes come together, fans of the later will do well to try both an Olive Oil & Pistachio Buttercream and Corn & Wildflower Honey Cream Cheese slice while seasonal Sweet Potato Pie is a little stiff compared to those in Inglewood. Seasonal with a focus on good ingredients, Strauss Cream and Brentwood Corn included, best bites came from the aforementioned Corn Cake as well as a Corn & Caramel Cookie plus the stuffed-till-bursting Carrot Cake Filled Donut. read more

3.5 stars~I wished I can give a higher rating.... But please provide a better drink lid for hot house brews???? Your crappy lid kept making the drink dripping down and actually got on my pink CK top. Perhaps I should have got a different type of drink with a sturdier lid. Luckily, I carried my 'Tide Pen' with me and got the spot off my CK top. Hopefully next time they can provide a better lid for the house brews they sell. It wasn't an ideal lid for those of us carrying the drink while we shop the Sunshine Makers Market event. read more

got around to visit the newly reopened helms bakery saturday around noon. the bakery reopened early november after closing in 1969!! the original helms bakery opened in 1931, serving the summer olympics in 1932. it is located in the helms bakery district. upon walking into the district, it felt modern yet historic. theres a few restaurants nearby like father's office and pasta sisters and a couple home/design stores. back to the bakery..first impression, it was smaller that i thought but i still spent about 40m inside. helms bakery currently offers hot/cold food, cafe, bakery and unique gifting items also, no line when i visited.. loved all the holiday decor the deli portion was closed during my visit but did pick up their pastrami sandwich with swiss cheese $16 (10/10) in the hot & fresh warmer i waited in line for the bakery. i especially love the flipping signboard. kept me occupied as i stood in line. you can also watch the bakers prepping the fresh sweets! picked up 5 cookies: chocolate chip ($4) triple chocolate ($4) pecan molasses ($4) pistachio & chocolate ($6.50) mint & chip ($5) i sampled all when i got home and they are all delicious! baked to just how i love my cookies. just a bit cooked on the edges and soft centers YUM! i also picked up treats for my pup! i love how they have gifting for everyone, even a section for furbabies :D there is seating outside on their patio parking: metered street or parking garage (free) can't wait to visit again as their offerings differ during the day/times read more

I've been here twice in the past few months. The interior is really beautiful. The products they sell are curated and would make for perfect gifts. They even have products for your pets. The people that work there have all been really lovely and helpful with recommendations. The 3 star review is really due to the food items. My last visit I tried the breakfast burrito which is one of their ready to go items. The cheese reminded me of what you'd find in a pouch or on nachos at a movie theatre. I also look home a few things like the savory biscuit. I found it to be very salty. We also tried the cherry pie. The crust was probably flaky at some point, but was soft and lost its structure right away. The filling was good. Or all looks amazing, but lacks in taste, one way or another. I don't remember what I ordered the first time, but I remember it was just okay. I thought perhaps it was the thing I ordered, but after the second visit I realized the pastries and food are not for me. I'll definitely go back to shop for gifts or to pick up a drink from the cold case. But sadly, not for the food. read more

I used to work across from Helms Bakery, which was constantly under construction, but it has finally reopened. Now, there's a space for general shopping, a bakery, coffee, and a selection of ready-to-eat hot and cold meals. They offer a great variety of pastries, cakes, and cookies, but the standout item was the PISTACHIO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE --it was still warm when we ate it. I wouldn't recommend the FRIED CHICKEN, though, as it was mostly batter. On the other hand, the cold and hot sandwiches were excellent. Seating is limited, and it can get quite busy. ENJOY! PS: There is a parking lot immediately to the left when you turn into Helms Ave, but there are also two parking lots across the street marked with Helms Bakery Parking. (It's Free!) read more

I came early so, of course, there was plenty of parking, The workers I encountered were friendly. I perused the pastry counter where there were several varies of large cookies and a few varieties of pie and cake slices. I looked at the ready made items, but wasn't interested in any of them. The bottled drinks had some interesting varieties. I especially liked looking at the unique and cute candies, cookies, snacks, do-dads, food-themed Christmas ornaments, and other gift items. I was tempted to buy a few cute things, but the price stopped me. read more

I was totally unimpressed by this bakery. The actual bakery selection was limited and overpriced. In fact the grab and go selections looked unappealing and overpriced.

Not your grandma's helms. Mostly because she would be appaled at the prices while reminiscing on the old helms truck. But also because the food here is artisan and elevated.

The donut had a nice balance of dense yet fluffy texture, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste, and I wished the lychee flavor popped more. The corn caramel cookie was my favorite -- not too sweet, and the flavor was really unique, though I'd love a bit more corn flavor. The pecan molasses cookie didn't stand out as much, but overall, it was a fun stop with lots of cute snack options! Will definitely be back to try more. read more

Came here for a late afternoon lunch on the weekend. Food: we did not get any pastries, just hot food. Meatball sandwich and penne with vodka sauce. Both were very good and priced reasonably. We also got an affogato and thought the vanilla soft serve was really tasty. Again, not terribly priced. The space is beautiful. Indoor market has a ton of cute, small goods that delight and surprise. Outdoor seating is perfect for a winter afternoon in LA. We didn't try pastries, coffee drinks beyond espresso, etc. so there might be something we're missing. But, the hot food and seating area were wonderful and I'd recommend. We'll be back. Thank you Helms. read more
