    Cutest details exactly what I pictured
    Monika B.

    Honestly, I walked into the store the first time yesterday. I was in need of a cake and cupcakes for the next day for my daughter's 9th birthday. Totally last minute which is so difficult. The sweetest husband and wife duo honestly they were so sweet and accommodating. They made sure to get all details of everything so detail oriented. They really went above and beyond and made it so special. Thank you so much for your sweetness, your amazing attitude and amazing customer service. Can't wait for more orders and to refer people to you guys!

    Custom made cupcakes

    I found this place on Google and I contacted them and texted them the picture of the cupcakes that I wanted for my sister and I only really needed four cupcakes so I don't really need that much. It was just more for the decorative and they were so nice and the man that took the order was really nice and helpful. WhenI went to go pick it up, the cupcakes were exactly like the pictures that I've sent to him or even better and the cupcakes even taste really good too they were carrot cake flavor, and it was amazing. My sister really liked it and I highly recommend this place and I will definitely order from here again thank you.

    Very nice cake & pastry shop. I ordered a cake from them kinda last minute and showed them a picture. They were able to completely replicate the photo I sent them and make the perfect cake. I wish the font on the cake also matched the photo but other than that it was perfect. The cake itself was delicious too. Also, the people who own this shop are really kind and genuine. I appreciate them and will definitely get a cake from them again in the future.

    Strawberry cake!

    Idk why this place has a one star. Reasonable price for a cake, the workers were super friendly! This a new spot I highly recommend for people to give it a try! This is a the cake I got ! And the plus the blueberry pie was soooo good I ate it at the store lol

    Custom lion cupcakes

    I ordered custom cupcakes for a birthday party. The price was good, and the man who took my order was easy to work with. I sent some reference photos, and he made suggestions. I was astounded by the quality of the final product, and the taste. I would definitely order custom cakes/cupcakes here again!

    Delicious selection of different types of pastry. Clean location and easy to find out. Parking on the street and back lot. Everything was freshly baked the day I visited. Returning soon to try more!

    They did it again! Another year another beautiful cake! If you have yet to try Lida's cake and pastry you have to! She is so talented! Not only does she design the cakes beautifully, it is also so so delicious. Everyone loved it! Highly recommend.

    I asked Lida's Cake and Pastry to make a specialty birthday cake and gave them an inspiration photo. They absolutely nailed this cake, it was even better than the original. It overall tasted amazing! I did vanilla cake with mocha and banana filling. I 100% recommend getting your birthday cakes from Lida's Cake and Pastry! It really made my 17th birthday party more special. Everybody at my party complimented it! So beautiful. I also got a separate sheet cake to serve my guests on day 1 of my 2 day party which was a great idea! This way I could take photos with this cake for both parties.

    Grand Opening! (feat. chocolate cupcake)
    Naira M.

    Came here for the grand opening and I love this bakery! Quaint little bakery with lots of delicious looking pastries. I tried the carrot cake, red velvet, and chocolate cupcakes as well as the sliced chocolate cake, vanilla roulette, chocolate biscuit cake and they were all so delicious! The staff is super friendly and helpful with choosing pastries. Highly highly recommend! I can't wait for them to expand their menu and try some more from them!

    I am so impressed with Lida's Cake and Pastry. I called to ask about a turtle cake for my boyfriend's birthday. The process was quick and I was provided with multiple options for the cake. When I picked up the cake, I was absolutely blown away. It was perfect! I had requested a fondant turtle be placed on top of the cake, and when I arrived there were two turtles! They also had great attention to detail and had done their research on the exact type of turtle (a red eared slider). I couldn't have asked for a better cake. Not only was it beautiful, but it also tasted fantastic! From here on out, I will always go to Lida's for all of my cake and pastry needs.

    Heart Cake

    The customer service here is incredible. The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. They made the exact cake I wanted on short notice. The cake was fresh and fluffy, and everyone loved it. Highly recommend this bakery.

    77th birthday cake

    I have been ordering my cakes for all my events from Lida. At every one of my events my guests ask me where the cake is from. My favorite is her white cake with fresh strawberry filling. Lida is so kind and always capable of creating exactly what I ask her. I highly recommend using their service for your events!

    Rice crispy covered in chocolate and decorated as a thanksgiving turkey

    5/5 Stars! A friend recommended this little mom and pop shop and i couldn't be happier. I took the rice crispy and cake pop turkey treats to a thanksgiving party and everyone loved it! Very cute and more importantly very tasty! Friendly service too. Definitely recommend it.

Not only is it ranked #1 in LA but it goes above and beyond the call of duty. Look at the photo! You can't even see the roll! The icing game is strong! The dough, fluffy. The culinary specialist, Cañada, must have graduated from MIT because she engineered the perfect formula for it! I don't know what else to compare Sweet Red Peach too because they're in a league of their own! The service is quick, staff friendly, the ambiance quiet and intimate. This the perfect place to blow your new years resolutions!

    This review is for the cinnamon roll only - my bf and I are in search of the best cinnamon treats…read morein LA and hearing the hype about this cinnamon roll made it a must-try on our list! First, the good: the cinnamon roll was moist and fluffy all the way through. No dry cinnamon rolls here! The service was also very friendly. The not so good: my first bite, which somehow managed to not have much icing, gave me a clear taste of the dough. It reminded me a lot of canned biscuit dough. I prefer a thicker icing, this one was quite runny and very sweet without any nuance to the flavor. Also, I really wanted to try the peach cobbler cupcakes but they didn't have any cupcakes in stock at all, only a few cake slices. We went around noon, and I hoped they would have plenty of options around that time :/ Unfortunately I've had much better cinnamon rolls elsewhere in LA. It's still tasty because, well, it's a cinnamon roll... but not sure I'll be back unless it's to try the cake or cupcakes.

I am typically very picky about cupcakes and it was a very bummed out that sprinkles closed. I have tasted other cupcakes in the past and dots cupcakes actually hits the spot. They have a daily rotation of special selections as well as a standard flavor selection. I tried it out the Velvet, tiramisu, and coconut cupcakes. They are actually really good, and the quality and ratio between the frosting and cupcake itself was on point. The pricing is fair, considering the quality of the cupcakes. I called them on the phone ahead of time to verify inventory and the service was actually really good. The store is separated by two different lines one for the café and the other for the cupcakes. Make sure you line up in the right line for the best service. I will definitely return.

They have a nice large parking space in the back as well. I went on a Sunday around 6:30 pm so it was pretty empty, which was nice. I think the bigger crowds are earlier in the day. They close at 7 pm so I just made it. Luckily they still had a few cupcakes left and plenty of the cakes left. I decided to get a slice of their old fashioned chocolate cake, and 4 cupcakes to go. I got a red velvet, a chocolate, a vanilla, and a mocha cupcake. Everything was delicious but I have to say that the old fashioned chocolate cake slice was my favorite. They give you a ginormous piece too which is nice when you have that craving. All the cakes were very moist and the buttercream was sweet but not crazy sweet which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience. I can't wait to come back again and run some of their other cakes and cupcakes!
