RIP Hermosa Pie & Cake -- one of the greatest, highest quality , tastiest dessert places you'll ever find. There will never be another like it... :-( PS. The owner's gone off to get a PhD in advanced mathematics! read more

I LOVE this place! When my mom from Japan was here I took her to this place. The owner David was super nice person and so as his son Will. We love their pies and I want to try chocolate strudel? Next time for sure. There are 15min parking in front so I can easily park there and get some yummy pies. I also saw some other customers who said hi to David and seems like everyone loves him and his son. read more

I wish I would've taken a photo of the apple pie. It's truly a beautiful sight! I was on my way to a dinner and didn't want to show up eempty handed so I decided to randomly bring a pie. I walked in close to closing time and the gentleman at the counter was super friendly. They had two pies, apple and pumpkin. I chose apple, of course! I've gotta say, it was a hit at the dinner table! Lots of great reviews. I loved the crust the most. The apples inside were a bit plain tbh but in total, the bites were well balanced with fresh crisp apples and amazing crust. I want to go back soon! read more

I'm a dessert person, period. Exclamation! So I was looking forward to our preordered mixed berry pie for thanksgiving. It certainly looked pretty though. As for taste, I took several bites, and I was not wanting for more. To make matters worse, the berries grew mold the following day! Maybe I should have refrigerated it. But if it was really good, that pie wouldn't have a lasted a day in my house! My fave pies in the state are still made in San Diego and it will be worth the drive when I'm craving a good pie. I want to support local, but it certainly didn't please the pie lover in me unfortunately. read more

Customer service was amazing, we met the son of the owner. He was very friendly and explained about their bakery. We ordered the apple strudel and three chocolate chip cookies! Let's just say, the cookies didn't make it to the car! Hahaha. Love the store set up, very cozy and there's another door to the left as you enter and see a little patio. I honestly wish it was open to customers, it looks like such a nice quiet area to hang out and enjoy your desserts. read more

Best pie in california. I'm deeply saddened at the news of it's closure. Service was impeccable the vibe it gave off walking in reminded me of a cottage. I deeply miss this place. read more

This was a great place! The pies were delicious and homemade. You'd place your order and they would explain all the ingredients and options. Such a cute little gem in HB. I'm so grateful they served the community for so long read more

The pies are delicious! I can taste the earth the fruit grew in, that's how fresh everything is. The gentleman who helped us was gery kind and informative on pie/cake selection. The little shop has a garden outside that looks so cute. We tried the triple berry pie 5/5 outstanding. read more

My new favorite dessert spot- hands down, the most delicious banana cream pie I have ever had in my life. You need to call and special order it, but trust me that after trying this pie your tastebuds will change for life. Such a well-decorated cozy shop. Also tried the boysenberry pie which did not disappoint either! I am not one to write reviews but this place needs to be recognized :). Recommending it to all of my family and friends! read more

Amazingly delicious, fresh, and high quality pies! I talked to the man running the shop and he was so kind. I love how these pies have none of the unhealthy ingredients that you'd get at mass produced grocery stores. I could taste the difference. I am so happy that there are small places like this that are alternatives to mass produced baked goods! I am excited to try all their other pies - I had the mini blueberry and I am obsessed. read more

This was great. My husband and I went a while back. We bought desserts to take a brunch. We were pleased. Service was great and gave us dips on popular pies. Great place to meet up with a friend or date for a tasty dessert. read more

I was craving pies one day, and I stumbled upon this local, hidden gem on Yelp, and I decided to give it a try. I arrived a bit too early to get the pies, but I ended up returning to get them once they came out of the oven. I opted for an apple mini-pie and a mixed berries mini-pie to go. They were so cute and gorgeous that it felt almost sacrilegious as I *unceremoniously* devoured them upon getting home. First impression upon the first bite: FRESH. The crusts were still warm and soft, which tells you that you'd gotten a good one. I read that Hermosa Pie and Cake does not use corporate agriculture fruits (i.e. no pesticides), which I appreciate it being as authentic and locally-sourced as it is. I could taste the real flavors of the apple and mixed berries as a result. Taste-wise, the pies are very simple. The apple mini-pie was soft, both crust and fruit. Maybe it's me being picky, but I think it could've benefitted with a dash of cinnamon or brown sugar to enhance the flavors more; otherwise, I found it rather bland. Again, the crust was soft, which led me to believe that it was a bit underbaked; I think it could've used an extra minute or two in the oven to have more of a structure and bite to it. I really dug the mixed berries, though. Sweet and with the ever-so-slightest hint of tart, I preferred this mini-pie of the two. The crust had more support, especially to hold the dense, syrupy fruit afloat. Bravo on that! Service was very friendly and helpful. It's a locally-run shop, and I appreciate the attention to detail of the pies made and the clients greeted. The mini-pies were just a taste of something greater, and I'd be keen on returning to pick up the real deal, i.e. the full-sized pies! read more

I am not a "sweets" kind of person, but I love Hermosa Pie & Cake. The fruit pies use the freshest fruit... the apple feels like it's been picked right off the tree. The crusts are buttery, flakey, and with just the perfect amount of snap. Besides great pies, I have not had the cake yet but I will, just good people work there! Easy to talk with, charming, funny, and always helpful. Do yourself a favor and grab a slice... or a whole pie... and enjoy it while watching the waves. read more

Genuinely some of the worst pastries I have ever had the displeasure of eating. You'd be better off walking to the Whole Foods nearby and picking something off the shelf with your eyes closed. The only good part about this establishment is the proximity to the beach, but you certainly don't need to waste money on a pastry here to enjoy that. read more

This tiny place has excellent pies! The selection varies and they only make a certain amount each day, so you're best off going early to have the most choices. read more

This has become my favorite bakery! I'm not originally from LA and when I tell you there's no good pies in this town I thought that was the truth until I found Hermosa Pie and Cake! I've come here a few times in the last couple of months and I haven't been disappointed yet! Everything I've had from here has been moist, and amazing and nothing has that overly sweet taste like a lot of other pies in the area. The food is always fresh and taste balanced and like they know how to use butter!! It's amazing and the guys who work there are so friendly and chill! 100% recommend this place if you've been searching for pie in the LA area!! read more

This is the best pie I have ever tasted . I believe it's called a chocolate silk pie. I have never tasted a tastier pie, ever! I thought their blueberry pies were the greatest, -and they are, but, this chocolate silk pie might top those. Not possible, I thought. Ask for Will and tell them to make you a chocolate silk pie. It does not matter who you share this with. They will love you . read more

Best pies in LA, well all of Southern California, really. Fresh, healthy and delicious. Cute little spot, too. Highly recommend !! read more

I walked into Hermosa Pie & Cake hoping to get a pie for today, however they were all out. (It's expected and understandable) David was helping my cousin and I out, and offered us both a complimentary cookie so that we wouldn't leave empty handed. David's kindness and customer service was heartwarming- I felt it was only right to reciprocate the kindness. The cookie he gave us was very sweet and delicious! I can only imagine the rest of his pies and cakes taste just as good. David mentioned that his pastries are organic which is a plus! I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Omg! I went in to Hermosa Pie & Cake for their delicious apple pie. They were out so I got the apple strudel instead. This review is not about the apple strudel as I can't try that until this evening after dinner (will update this review at that time)This review is about the AMAZING banana nut muffins that entranced me on the counter. I gave into temptation and brought one home. I just finished eating it and it was spectacular! If you are from the Hermosa area and used to love Tammie's muffins from across the street before they closed, I highly recommend you try this Hermosa Pie and Cake muffin--this muffin is equally delicious!!!! The walnut caramel topping is now officially my new obsession! Update: Eating strudel now! It is just as good as their pie and possibly better super flakey crust sweet tart apples and a perfect amount of cinnamon. I'm really in trouble! This place is right down the street from me. read more

I'm not a fan. Sorry. I picked up 2 pies on Christmas Eve. The fruit filling was delicious. The Crust was doughy, tough and under cooked. I really wanted to love these pies but no can do. I thought for the price I'd be getting something really special. Nope. read more

Such a delicious apple pie with the best sugar sprinkled crust. The filling is just large cut up apples without spices, the apple speak for themselves. I called a few days in advanced and placed my order over the phone. They didn't answer at first, but gave me a call right back! I'm excited to go back and try their apple crumb cake, it looked so delicious sitting in the display case. read more

THE BEST AND BEST AND THE BEST APPLE PIE I EVER HAD EVER!!!! I don't usually put my time into writing reviews... I just don't have the time for it BUT I will put the time into writing reviews for what it's worth and this is one of them! It's THE BEST PIE EVER! I am very health conscious about what I eat and what I intake and I usually feel sick when I eat greasy or overly sweet desserts. So this 3 pounds of organic apples they used with perfect amount of sugar they used and the non heavy pie crust is incredibly amazing.! And not only that, it taste AMAZING!!!! I am mega happy I found this place!! I cannot wait to try the chicken pot pie next!!! Thank you So much!! I'm a happy camper!! read more

I love that the owners stick to one thing they do exceptionally well - PIES! I drove from PV just to pick one up for dinner at a friend's house tonight and wanted something special.

Wowowow hidden gem in Hermosa Beach but a must stop! We have walked by this place so many times when it was closed but finally caught them open. FYI, hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday 9-5 or closed earlier if they're sold out. This is coming from the owner. Speaking of the owner, David was such a delight to chat with! He is the real deal when it comes to his baking. He says that during the week he travels up the coast and picks out his fresh fruit for prep and baking. What a life! The store itself is little and definitely for to-go orders. We were lucky that when we walked in, he had just put out all the freshly baked goods so we had so many options! We got the mini peach pie, blueberry pie, and chocolate fudge cookie of some kind. And holy cow they are heavenly! You can tell the ingredients are fresh. The crust is flaky and buttery. It is saltier than what I'm used to but I kinda like it to balance the sweet. I thought it was the perfect ratio of crust to filling. Every bite had the perfect combo. The cookie was also delicious. It was a soft chewy cookie, very fudgey. Easily could've been overly sweet but it was enjoyable through every bite. I don't usually go for something this chocolatey because I can never finish it, and I fought my fiancé on who got to have the last bite. We will definitely be ordering these pies for Thanksgiving. Each normal sized pie are not normal sized at all because they've all got three pounds of fruit in them, wowza! Quoting my fiancé, "we'll be a hit at Thanksgiving dinner!" Sounds like you need to pre-order three weeks ahead so mark your calendars! read more

I'm so glad I found this bakery today. My brother's favorite pie is boysenberry and it's not very easy tu find. I scored and found one of the freshest boysenberry pies with an awesome real crust to bring him for his birthday dinner tonight. What a gem this place is I met Will who told me he and his dad run the whole place. He also told me the awesome Berries come from Oregon. I bought a few of their mini pies, and my mom absolutely loved the apple one. Tart and sweet and great crust! I highly recommend these pies and Hermosa Pie and Cake! The pie was a hot with my family! read more
