    Messed up cake
    Bianca V.

    Not even 30 minutes after picking up a cake for a birthday from their display this cake splits Called asked for a manager and I was just being transferred to the same people Not one single manager They tried to tell me it's my fault when I have had ordered custom cakes from them so many times and never had an issue until I picked up this cake from their display The last guy was so rude Making me go in their time when I was running late already never offered a refund Wasn't even a manager again Then hung up while I was talking to him Clear to say the last time I buy from this business This is how you lose customers

    Conchas
    Brian T.

    Is Kathy the only one to serve fresh conchas in LA? Maybe! We love Kathy's Bakery, and one of my friends will swing by weekly for conchas for the family. We brought some today to our hospital to treat our staff, and every single person who tried one commented on how fresh, soft, and lightly sweet these were! I'm sure we all have experienced the stale concha from a bakery, but you won't find staleness at Kathy's! Typically, with conchas from elsewhere, I am unable to finish them due to size, sweetness, or the stale factor. However, with Kathy's, I can always have a few! Fair warning, though, the parking is garbage in this area, and you may encounter some rude staff. Some people do complain of the prices, too. Regardless, this is our favourite spot for conchas!

    All the pan dulce
    Daniel A.

    My wife grew up coming here as a kid. Now our kids get to enjoy the soft tasty pan dulce. If I'm in the area for work I'll stop by to grab some for the house. Pan dulce like concha's or elotes we'll have handy for the kids and the parents. They are always very helpful aside from pan dulce they also offer tortas and coffee. My kids wanted candy but let them know we came for bread. Some good music is usually playing while you select your bread. This is my go to bakery for pan dulce

    Black and red cake for teenage boy happy birthday John. The chocolate cake was extremely dry and had a bad taste
    J P.

    I once needed to order a cake last minute on a Saturday and told me if I came in person they would be able to take order and I came in 230pm to pick up cake 6pm. I was very thankful! I order 3 leches with banana for my brother. Let me tell you the cake was bomb! I am not a fan 3leches because the cake always then to be too watery but this cake was perfect! The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 stars because a month later I ordered a chocolate cake and ask for a red and black cake for a teenage boy and I was so sad. The cake was ugly and the writing was horrible and the chocolate cake was extremely dry and just didn't take right.

    Donuts were delicious! The happy hour was delightful- ordered a vanilla matcha as our free drink…read moreand it did not disappoint. Creamy, milky, and a perfect balance of sweetness that coats the tongue. Favorite donuts for today's visit include butter and salt and blueberry cheesecake. Butter and salt- balanced, salty sweet goodness, and an outer crunch shell leading to pure fluff. Blueberry cheesecake- soft, vibrant, with a juicy surprise in the middle. Highly recommend if in need of an elevated office surprise or sweet treat.

    Sidecar might change your mind about cake donuts…read more I'm usually a raised-donut person, but these are different. Fresh, they eat more like a pastry--super moist, rich without being heavy, and none of that dry crumble. Chocolate (Valrhona) is the one--deep, smooth, perfectly tender. The vegan strawberry matcha is a sleeper hit--the strawberry glaze smells like a field of ripe berries and actually makes you pause before the first bite, with the matcha keeping it grounded. They only had two raised that day, but both delivered. Vanilla was soft and airy, and the huckleberry had that bright tart-sweet glaze with zero fake flavor. Only note: don't over-order. Next day = noticeably more crumbly. Go, pick a few, eat them fresh. Clean plate club.
