Good desserts and service from the staff. They acknowledge you right away and give you a chance to browse the desserts. They offer their help right away. If you have any questions, they will answer them. The fruit tart and Tres Leche cake are my favorite. They sell cakes, cookies, desserts, chocolate, covered strawberries, cake pops and pastries to order as well. read more

We purchased a Swedish Princess Cake for my son's bday cake at another bakery. Went we got home he noticed the cake was not a traditional cake and he was right. We ended up calling around to find a real Swedish Princess Cake and they were so helpful. I was worried he was not going to get the cake he requested for his bday. The bakery assured me their cake was traditional with fresh cream, raspberry and marzipan. The cake was perfect. We all loved the cake! Glad we have a bakery that has beautiful cakes with fresh ingredients. read more

Went for a last second tiramisu for my mother's birthday. I'm pretty particular about tiramisu as most places put too much frosting or make them too sweet. Additionally, I saw one in display but it was too large for our smaller group. Juan and his team provided A+ service, listening to my concerns, and providing me with a few options. I went with this medium sized tiramisu and let me tell you, they lived up to their title of fine pastries. You can taste the quality ingredients. Additionally, tiramisu takes some time to make and they managed to have to ready the next day. The decor was quite classy and tasty too. Thank you Mamolo's for making my mom's birthday extra special. After some conversation, I was proud to learn that I was supporting a local independent small business located inside of Gelson's. We'll see you again soon. read more

Lali, In Training!!! Where's the manager when you need one. ??? We were excited to be at one of our all time favorite bakeries. Viktor Benes has been around for a long long time. We've enjoyed their original brick and mortar bakery on 3rd street in LA, that's how long we've enjoyed these baked goods. Lali's service was poor, elementary and appeared to have disrupted her Halloween costume discussion with her co worker. As soon as she turned away from us, she continued her conversation then, looked straight into her phone, for a selfie. Before we even stepped away from the counter. If it hadn't been for that, I wouldn't have bothered with this review. Managers hiring people who are not really interested, in their jobs. Management should recognize the lack of service skills. Baked goods however did not disappoint. I'll also continue to patronize Westlake and Thousand Oaks "VB" bakeries! Manhattan Beach apparently doesn't need my business.

Viktor Benes Bakery has been my favorite for 20+ years now. I have traveled far for these bakeries. I recently went to the bakery in the Gelson's Market in Manhattan Beach, two weeks in a row, (the second time I was hoping for better) and both times it's was horrible. I am so sad writing this. I purchased cookies, Danish and single piece Pastries, such as the Tiramisu Slice, the Raspberry Tart, the Fruit Tarts and the Lemon sponge cake roll. Both times my bill was relatively high. Not one of them were fresh, and I had to throw 2 of them away, as they were so dry, they were inedible. I hope they remedy this. Maybe they are not selling enough, to sell them fresh. Very disappointing for what I have always considered a 5 Star Bakery. read more

Hi mates, I never composed a Yelp review yet I can't quit discussing it with my auntie, my auntie told me to downland Yelp and presently I'm here! I'm new to this city, I'm from Poland, just arrived! In a real sense love this spot already. It is so mystical to me. All that I saw looked so good to me. Two benevolent young ladies helped me, they are so splendid I don't have a clue about the staff. One of them is petite and the other is a bit taller than her, with a mask. I never felt so adored. They are so reasonable, encouraging, remarkable, and tremendous that they made me laugh and smile and filled my heart with joy. I just got an enormous latte very velvety, rich mouth-watering, and scrumptious. I truly love the staff who helped me, I'm returning soon to go see them other than getting a few treats for myself! Totally love it! read more

I was disappointed with their design of the "Fireman Truck ", it doesn't look like the picture they showed me when I ordered. It doesn't look like something from a professional bakery. With $60, I think I deserve something better. The only thing I liked about this cake is that they didn't make it too sweet as I requested. I like their other pastries but maybe not a good place for birthday cakes. read more

I have ordered my kid's birthday cake here the last 3 years. I have never had an issue until this year. The designs have always been amazing and the cakes delicious. The cake was not what we had been promised, which was a disappointment to my kids. It looked like a cake I could have ordered at Ralph's for 1/2 the price. The cake was dry and when you cut into it it fell apart. We ended up throwing the leftovers away because of the taste and consistency. Such a bummer for my kids. read more

This location and this bakery saved my butt after a debacle at alpine village. Let's just put aside the ridiculously amazing assortment of all sorts of cakes and pastries and giftable goodies they have. Their staff is so stellar. From the moment I called in, the manager and everyone I spoke with in the bakery were so helpful and went out of their way to accommodate something special that I really should've had to pay extra for. I'm so blown away and have made my decision on where all my occasion cakes and gifts are coming from (and most likely my wedding cake) It's obviously Viktor Benes quality and reflect those prices which actually are pretty good compared to others now but it's the fact that they just made everything happen with practically no notice and were enthusiastic about it.

Hi Everyone, I HAVE to share my good fortune with others. I have recently been going to Gelson's (for their already cooked turkey parts) and while they are very good, what is EXCEPTIONAL is the bakery there. Technically (and this is actually a good thing), the bakery is in Gelson's but not part of Gelson's - it is the renowned Viktor Bene's Continental Bakery. My children and I have had many of their desserts (tonight we are likely getting one of their specialties, the Alligator pastry (if you want to find out about it, you must go, it will be well worth your trip). The chocolate cakes, chiffon cakes, cookies, pies, tarts, chocolate danish, fruit tarts, and egg bread are delectable. Now for the best part - the manager, Juan Fabian is the nicest man and most accommodating and talented baker you will ever meet. Whatever you want he will make for you. He is so courteous and welcoming and after two minutes of talking with him, you will feel like you have known him for years. True terrific customer service. Finally, I want to mention that you get what you pay for. If you want a pie for $6 bucks go to Ralph's and while there is nothing wrong with that (as I have done that several times), when you truly want something to wow you or your friends and family, this is the place (Gelson's on Sepulveda, THE VIKTOR BENE'S BAKERY, at the front of the store, not far from the cashiers). Trust me on this one! Lloyd Bronstein read more

That was a big mistake to buy a cake from this Bakery. We got a chocolate mousse cake for the 4th of July celebration and one of my friend got a rock in his slice and broke his tooth. I came by today to get a refund and let them know there is a problem with their cakes. Instead of apologizing their manager started asking if the rock might get into the cake from the outside, from the tree, lol. He asked to show him the proof, apparently the picture was not enough. I asked him to show me the proof of what ingredients he used to make this cake, of course he didn't show anything. First he offered a 50% refund, cuz I didn't bring him a rock, nonsense! After arguing with him he agreed to give me a 100% refund, and I let him know I'll post a bad review, he said then he wouldn't refund anything!!! Luckily none of our kids got a rock. I will never buy a cake again at this bakery and would not recommend this bakery to anyone. Horrible customer service and questionable quality of the ingredients!!! I got my refund eventually, but had to fight for it. So disappointing!!! read more

History

Established in 1966.

Our fine European pastry tradition is courtesy of Ugo Mamolo, the Italy, Trieste-born baker with a passion for bringing old world, traditional recipes to families in Southern California. Ugo emigrated to the U.S. in 1958 and after working hard for many years, opened Mamolo's Continental Bakery in 1966. With a business partner, Ugo purchased the Viktor Bene's Bakery from the original owner and expanded his bakery operations in Southern California. Ugo Mamolo passed in 2021, but his delight in bringing joy lives on in the family and friends who continue to operate bakeries today. In 2024, 16 bakeries were renamed Mamolo's Fine Pastries in his honor. Mamolo's Fine Pastries remains committed to providing high quality baked goods using fresh, premium ingredients and handcrafted techniques. As Ugo used to say, "The sweet things in life are what make it worth living."

I get this crazy, emotional, cosmic energy that makes me want to jump up and down, cry tears of joy, and yell, "¡Vamos a Cake n Bake!"...and I don't even speak Spanish! I honestly feel like I ate Cake n Bake in a former life and somehow found it again. I could literally eat their cakes every single day. My boyfriend and I discovered Cake n Bake one afternoon after lunch when we were craving dessert. It was easy to find, and street parking wasn't difficult either. (Just be careful crossing the street--the drivers can be a little crazy!) As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly and helped right away. They have a beautiful display of cakes baked fresh daily, with both individual slices and whole cakes, along with cheesecakes. On our first visit, we ordered the Tres Leches cake, Vanilla Berry cake, Carrot cake, Chocolate Cherry cake, and two servings of banana pudding. I couldn't even wait until I got home--I opened the container and started eating in the car. One bite of the Chocolate Cherry cake and I was instantly hooked. The cake was incredibly moist, the tart cherries were plump and juicy, and the whipped frosting was light, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. I honestly can't wait for my birthday because I fully intend to order an entire Chocolate Cherry cake just for myself. The banana pudding tasted just like my Yia Yia's (grandma's) homemade banana pudding, which says a lot. The carrot cake quickly became another favorite of mine. Since that first visit, we've already gone back three more times! We've also tried the pear cake, and the spinach cake and honey cake are next on our list. I almost forgot--they also serve coffee and refreshers. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I absolutely love their refreshers. They're made with fresh fruit purée and sparkling water, served in a really nice cup that I honestly wanted to keep. The customer service is just as amazing as the desserts. We stopped by on Father's Day later in the afternoon and were so happy they were still open. I was disappointed because they had sold out of the Chocolate Cherry cake, but the gentleman helping us actually went into the kitchen and made me one. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. I really need to remember to take pictures the next time we go because I want everyone to see what I consider dessert perfection. If you're anywhere near Cake n Bake, do yourself a favor and stop in. Just be warned...you'll probably be back again and again! They have a nice seating area in a cover patio in front and to be honest I can't remember if they have tables inside because I'm always focused on the cakes in the display.

If you call in a cake order, they get it right and on time. It is not a large store, but it is so clean and comfortable. They have ice cream cakes there, ready made, or you can order online and pick up or just go there and go through their book. We just love their ice cream. Some of the sweeter ones like cotton candy ice cream I can live without, but any chocolate, especially World Class Chocolate is great. It is all good and their cakes are pretty and well made. My grandson loves this place and we have gotten cakes for him before, but most of the time we just get a scoop and eat in the car. They have a section to buy ice cream by the pint and it is great. We love it all.

Some of their frosting/cakes can be quite sweet, but they hit it out of the park with their strawberry whip cake! The cake is filled with soft whipped cream between every layer from top to bottom.

i was passing by & a lady & a boy were having a conversation. the lady was by the cookie area & the boy was by the register & the boy says to the lady 'haha that black nigga terry'. EXTREMELY RUDE. that is racial profiling!!!! but the lady who he was talking to gasped & shook her head as she looked at me & apologized when the boy went to the back. i delt bad for the girl bc i know she is new and she didnt know what to do! i dont know what the manager would say about this behavior with the boy. but its not okay. & im not the only customer that heard this !!! never going again ! read more

Your are the worlds worst' bakery. And avoid their crooked employee Adolfo in Encino. Today is the start of an important Jewish day. As part of our tradition every year we get a cake they make specifically for the holiday. You have to pre-order. Normally the employee presents the cake to the customer to confirm it's correct. Adolfo sealed the box and quickly handed it to me. I had to ask him as he ran past me if we were good to go. We just opened the box and found the inside of the cake was flat. Sold us a defective cake and lied to our face! read more

After seeing the bakery had such great reviews, I was really looking forward to our experience. Unfortunately, the service left a bit to be desired and I felt more like I was in the way than welcomed as a customer. I completely understand that it was a very busy weekend, but even a simple "hello" or "welcome" can go a long way in making customers feel acknowledged. The chocolate cake was also disappointing. It looked beautiful, but unfortunately, the taste just wasn't there, and most of the cake was hardly touched. The one bright spot was the custom sugar cookies they were delicious! We only ordered a small amount, but after trying them, we quickly realized they would have been the better choice. Overall, I appreciated the presentation and the cookies were definitely a highlight, but unfortunately, the service and cake didn't meet my expectations.

I guess that's the best compliment a baker can receive. They were clearly a huge hit! Now I'll just have to come back and buy a cookie (or a few) for myself. One thing I didn't realize when ordering online is that there are two locations. I drove to the quieter Gardena shop for pickup, only to find out my order had actually been sent to the Torrance location. Unfortunately, parking in Torrance on a Saturday was pretty stressful. Next time I'll be sure to double-check that I'm placing my order with the Gardena location.
