Best chocolate cake EVER!!!! This is our go to cake order. The owners and staff are very accommodating. (Not the 4th of July cake pictured) but recently (3/2026) I did not advance order the cake and they accommodated me by providing me with the signature size cake same day. Marigold does a great job of taking care of their customers! Also if you happen to be hungry, get the sandwich w the arugula salad read more

Service is always great but unfortunately today's order of a slice of carrot cake was not. We called ahead to see if they had any chocolate cake left (our favorite) to put one aside but no one answered their phone very disappointing. Had to drive about 25 min and chance it to see if they had our favorite cake slice of course they sold out it was 2:45pm. We opted for their carrot cake which left a lot to be desired. It's not your traditional carrot cake taste/flavor I could not make out what spices they used like the usual (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves etc) maybe it was just really really light? The frosting was also very different from what perhaps we are used to as a carrot cake and cream cheese frosting also very light in flavor. It was moist and frosting was creamy smooth got to give them that but I definitely would not order again. Can't wait to have our chocolate cake slice which we'll make sure to call way earlier or show up at an earlier time. read more

I ordered a chocolate chip cookie and apparently got the super deluxe edition inspired by Willy Wonka's personal sugar reserves. This thing wasn't sweet... it was a full-scale dental event. One bite and I could hear my pancreas filing a complaint. Now for the real reason writing this review was not because of the excess sugar, which was tolerable -- It was the complimentary human hair(s) baked right in. Nothing says "artisan bakery" quite like flossing mid-bite and collecting DNA. For the prices they charge, I was hoping for "freshly baked," not "mystery salon sweepings with extra sucrose." Do not go unless you are looking for someone else's follicles. read more

Delicious backed goods can be found here! I stopped into Marigold Bakeshop as I was waiting for work on my tires next door to be completed. So happy I found this little treasure. The pastries are made fresh in house and they are simply delicious. The service was speedy and pleasant. The ambiance was peaceful with lovely music floating through the air. They were super tidy inside as well. Visit this lovely bakery. You will not be disappointed! read more

There aren't enough angles to demonstrate my' love for this homemade chocolate layer cake from Marigold Bakeshop. This Pico Robertson bakery and coffee shop has been open for two years, but it's easy to miss. I was headed home from Eilat and Glatt markets when I spotted it, did a quick U-turn to check out the coffee, and left with a huge slice of their top-selling chocolate cake. Fresh out of the oven, moist, delicious, and not too sweet, this OG-style confection is a chocaholics delight. Pastry chef Corina is the genius behind the bakery's popular cinnamon rolls too, another sell out. If you need a meal excuse for dessert, the shop serves a small but tasty breakfast and lunch menu. The sun-drenched cafe, a great spot to meet up with friends, also has a few picnic tables with umbrellas for people watching along Pico. Highly recommended. read more

Ayooooo!!!! So on the hunt for best Cinnamon Roll in LA and would say def top 3 hands down. They only offer them during the weekend FYI. They are not overly seer which I appreciate, very moist. 5/5! The Chcocolate cake prob #2 Choc cake for me, Susie cake is still my Fav. The Cake reminded me of Devils Food Duncan Hines but elevated from scratch. Again not overly sweet but wish there was just a little more frosting in between the layers. 5/5 Plenty of street parking , Cards accepted and staff was so friendly. read more

Cute little bakery with some tasty pastries. We tried several items - strawberry/cream danish and banana bread were tasty. They had a lemon bar which isn't a normal menu item, I thought it was fine. Nothing special. I felt the cinnamon roll was good but since everyone raved about it so much, I may have gone in with really high expectations. It was ok as well. Overall, everything was ok for me. But the place itself is cute, the service was excellent and I hope they continue to be successful! read more

Very kind service, the coffee is alright not bad at all. The ambiance is super cozy which is a big bonus. The chocolate cake is definitely good but frankly, it doesn't taste like anything extraordinary especially for 10 bucks a slice. The cinnamon roll is incredibly soft and moist but it is like they cut the cinnamon amount in half. Barely any cinnamon in the cinnamon rolls. Would come again if they increased the cinnamon in the rolls. read more

Marigold Bake Shop is such a treat! Their cinnamon rolls are hands-down the best in the city--soft, gooey, and full of cinnamon goodness. The lemon blueberry scone and cinnamon coffee crumble are bright, flavorful, and surprisingly moist. The turkey breakfast burrito is decent. What really makes this place special is the people. Naomi, who runs the front, is such a sweetheart and always makes you feel right at home. The shop is owned by husband-and-wife chefs Fernando and Karina, and you can feel how much heart they put into everything--whether it's creating delicious pastries, supporting their staff, or giving back to the community. Parking is pretty easy with metered spots and neighborhood parking close by, so it's never too much of a hassle to stop in. read more

Looking for a delicious pastry? A perfect coffee? A warm and friendly welcome? Marigold Bakeshop is the answer to your prayers. There's no place like Marigold - Karina, Fernando, and their team have created an atmosphere where it feels like everyone is family. They greet you when you walk in the door and help you decide which of the AMAZING pastries you're going to try. If you're there before 11:30am, you can try one of the amazing breakfast burritos that have tater tots in them! After 11:30am, you get access to the lunch menu full of fresh salads and sandwiches that are unbelievably filling yet light at the same time. The space itself is bright and welcoming to all: families with energized kids, workers who need wifi, and people just picking up something to go. When it comes to the pastries, there aren't enough good things to say. I have never been disappointed by anything I've tried at Marigold. From the cupcakes to the sweet scones and the savory tarts, everything is amazing. But for me, my number 1 item is the Coffee Cake. Coffee cake isn't something you often write home about - it's "just" coffee cake. But this coffee cake is not only worth writing about, but worth making your way to Marigold Bakeshop to try. There's something so special and delicious about it; I would genuinely eat it every day if I could. read more

Marigold Bakeshop is the sweetest cafe! I can't believe this was my first visit ever, and it definitely won't be my last. I stopped by on a Sunday morning for a quick breakfast. I ordered an iced americano which came in a huge glass. I usually ask for my iced americanos with extra ice so they're less watery but I forgot to do that here, and it was PERFECT. Very rarely do I drink a plain americano (no sugar, no milk) and it is delicious. Perfect ratio and the espresso was not bitter or acidic at all. My fiancé and I got a cheddar biscuit to munch on while we waited for our food, and it was admittedly the weakest link. But only because everything else was so much better! We split the smoked beef sausage breakfast burrito with avocado crema and salsa roja. It was so fresh, delicious, and flavorful! I loved combining the sauces, and it did not last long. In the LA market for breakfast burritos in 2025.... $12.75 was also a very reasonable price. It definitely gave the $20 Wake n Late breakfast burrito a run for its money!! The star of the show though was the Cinnamon Roll. Apparently they only make these on the weekends. Even though we debated trying other pastries, the consensus of those in line with us was that we had to try one while we could. Apparently they tend to run out - and I can see why! It was moist and perfectly sweet and just incredible. So far we have incredible food and really good coffee. On top of that, it's a warm environment with lots of natural light, nice tables, wifi, outlets, and a welcoming neighborhood feel with lots of regulars?! Marigold Bakeshop checks every box. I'm definitely a new fan! read more

If I could go above 5 stars for Marigold Bakeshop, I would. I'm a sucker for a cafe with solid coffee, good pastries, and an ideal environment to meet up with friends and/or get work done. Marigold was a 10/10 on all the above. I got an iced latte, which came in a large glass -- big bonus points when coffee shops have real glasses/mugs for drinks. My fiancee and I split the smoked beef sausage breakfast burrito, which was delicious. We went with the avocado cream and salsa roja, which were both great. The burrito is a pretty good size for $12.75, and the crispy tater tots inside were the best part. We also got a cheddar biscuit and the cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was easily the best I've ever had. It's huge and so fresh -- and they only make it on weekends, so definitely get one if you can! There were tons of other sweets that looked great, too. But above all, the atmosphere and vibes at Marigold are really what tie everything together. The staff is super sweet, and there are tons of tables, each with their own outlet. There's Wi-Fi, natural light, and just a generally awesome local neighborhood vibe. It was clear that several people in line behind us were regulars, which is now a goal of mine! read more

Tried a bunch of stuff from the bakery, and it was pretty tasty. The staff are very friendly and nice. Just wasn't necessarily wowed by anything that I tried.

Meant to write this review sooner, but we tried Marigold bakeshop out one morning and it's so bright and cute. The staff were friendly and helpful and we ordered a coffee cake and a spiced pear scone. The coffee cake was good, but the scone was amazing. My husband still talks about it! We decided to preorder a pumpkin pie and a chocolate cake for Thanksgiving and it was the best decision. Pick up the day before Thanksgiving was easy and both treats were a huge hit with our family. The appropriately named "I Love Chocolate Cake" is definitely a new personal favorite. Very moist and rich, but not over the top sweet. I normally don't like frosting very much, but I devoured every part of this cake! Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

I'd trust this place with just about anything. No photos of what I ate because about as soon as I opened the box, it was inhaled. They are not kidding about the cinnamon rolls. They are genuinely the best cinnamon rolls, even beating out multiple friends homemade cinnamon rolls. They are so so so ridiculously good. Came here visiting a friend, he had never been to marigold, tried one bite of cinnamon roll, and goes "yeah it's gonna be hard not going back there every weekend for a cinnamon roll now." Also tried their coffee cake and a blueberry pomegranate iced tea. Everything is good. But seriously make the trip just for that cinnamon roll. read more

I think I found my new go to bakery for birthdays. The cake was so moist, flavorful, and fluffy. All my friends and family asked where I got the cake from because they all liked it. The custom design came out exactly how I was expecting. My only regret is not getting a bigger cake to have leftovers. lol The workers are so kind and accommodating. Definitely recommend read more

Such a hidden gem found and I certainly blamed myself for being bit skeptical about the cute place earlier. This bakeshop was just flawlessly designed that entering it totally gave that homey welcoming ambiance from your neighborhood cafe; honestly loved it a ton and could see myself being a regular. The service further elevated it as the owners, who were a couple, were both so so friendly and genuine. Sitting there for few hours, I could literally see how they're trying to know each consumer! You might need to come early on weekend to still have full selections especially some of their favorites like the cinnamon rolls; yep, I sadly missed it :( . Call me still lucky, I got to try their 'I LOVE CHOCOLATE CAKE' (yessss literally the name!). As that name said, it was SO SO GOOD that you just couldn't hate it! I wasn't even intended to order it as I was indeed not really into chocolate cake , but the person sitting next to me raving about it as his friend made him come for that and he couldn't stop saying how much he's enchanted finding it. Thankfully, I finally followed my gut (and him) ordering it and I was slapped by how decadent it was, being amazingly not overly heavy in texture but so rich in flavor for both the cake and the buttercream. If you don't wanna regret or miss it, better try before doubting! $9 surely was surely worthwhile. Even their other bake goods were as impressive. I got the oatmeal golden raisin cookie and easily was sold. They did offer coffee and tea to come as perfect pairing to your sweet! read more

Look, I had a colleague talk about the best chocolate cake she'd ever had and it being from this bakery in mid-city. Ended up finding out it was a new spot walking distance. Have now tried a range of drinks, pastries, desserts and food items. Cinnamon rolls are good-- only can get on the weekends and they do sell out. Breakfast burritos are ok, not my favorite as they're on the smaller side for the price you're paying, especially when there are 3+ places right nearby with great burritos. What keeps me coming back is the darn spinach and feta puff pastry pockets-- they're like a savory homemade pop-tart and I can absolutely inhale them like there's no tomorrow. I've had them fresh there, taken them home, and also reheated them in days following and it's ALWAYS THAT GOOD. Their other pastries are also good as well as their cupcakes and cakes ... but I highly, highly recommend the spinach and feta. Can confirm their coffee is good, not great, but honestly, I want great food + good coffee and I'm going here for their baked goods afterall. Top tier service, always greeted with a smile and hello's and they do a great job managing busy mornings. read more

My favorite bakery and coffee shop in my area!!!!!!!! This place is one of the coolest spots you will visit. Stop by for some coffee, a delicious baked good and maybe a hot chocolate for your child or nephew/niece who happens to be visiting. Such a cool relaxing area inside to sit and enjoy your order....but wait, there's more! They also have a delicious lunch menu but you better get there early because they run out early. If you like sweets, please get a slice of the chocolate cake . I like to call it the "Matilda cake." It is the best tasting chocolate cake I've had in a LONG time. The chocolate chip cookie is also delicious! All their sweets are great but these are my favorite. The couple that own and run this business are the nicest people too. Very kind, down to earth and they always greet you with such a kind smile. Another super important part is this is a Mexican owned business, and we need to do our best to support small businesses like this. read more

Delicious coffee and a nice selection of pastries. Went there twice on my trip to the area and it was busy but not overly so.

It is very rare on Yelp to see a solid five star establishment with this many ratings. Now I get it... This is the gem of a bakery on Pico Street in an area that could use quality restaurants. The exterior and interior design is both cute and welcoming. There is ample seating inside with some outdoor seating available The service was sweet and attentive. The real star though, the business end, are the pastries and the olive cake and the chocolate cake were terrific. Incredibly moist and not too sweet on the chocolate cake. We will be returning to try other pastries and cakes for this establishment. Make sure you drop by when you're in the area for a very nice and delicious experience. read more

This is my second review for Marigold Bakery. Instead of ordering the chocolate cake, I ordered the very berry cake for my dad's birthday. The service of the workers, like usual, was spectacular. My only complain was the cake itself. I was very excited for it, especially how everyone loved the chocolate cake. When my father took a slice of it, I was disappointed on the lack of fruits in the filling. Shocking to say, the first slice only had one single blue berry in the filling. The rest of the slices were random. Some had some fruits, but others barely had any at all. The texture of the cake was also dense like a fruit cake, and the frosting itself was thick. It was probably one of the most buttery frostings I ever had, which was quite overwhelming. Overall, I feel like I was left disappointed. If you do plan ordering a cake from them, the chocolate cake is a must have. read more

Went there this Sunday morning for some delicious treats and let me tell you. The cinnamon roll is the best I've ever had in my life. Incredible, tender, ooey gooey cinnamon roll that is life changing. I also picked up a chocolate chip cookie, spinach feta hand pie, blueberry muffin, and a slice of chocolate cake. Everything is a 10/10. The employees were so sweet and kind so do yourself a favor and go treat yourself at this amazing bakery. You will not be disappointed! read more

We walk our dogs past this shop most evenings and see them closing up. Today I went early so I'd have a chance to try them. I'm glad I did! The shop is cute and clean, and the service is amazing. The owner, Fernando, gave me a quick rundown of the day's offerings and how they make fresh cinnamon rolls on the weekend. I decided to try the lemon tart, the blueberry lemon scone, and a mini vanilla cupcake. Scone - 5 out of 5. Large, flavorful blueberries, slightly tart lemon glaze, and not too sweet. Lemon tart - 5 out of 5 - tart, sweet, and a perfect crust! Mini-cupcake - 4 out of 5 - it was good; not mind-blowing. Just a good cupcake. Pricey for the size. I'll definitely be back, and recommend that anyone in the area try them as well! read more

This is a rating solely on the chocolate cake. Now for context I've been on a diet for 4 months. I have a big sweet tooth and I love all things chocolate. That being said I've not had a single dessert for 4 months and asked my husband for a chocolate maltida cake for my birthday. I even showed him pictures and videos of what I was expecting because it would be my first dessert in a while and I've been on the search for a rich, moist fudgy chocolaty cake for a long time. So I have been really looking forward to this. He found this bakery when he looked online. Presentation wise it looked ok nothing really special it was a chocolate cake. Now the cake itself some parts were moist, some parts were airy and some parts were dry/crunchy. The filling was the buttercream itself and it was a thin layer of it. I guess I was expecting more of a chocolate icing not buttercream for the whole cake in general but sadly it did not meet my expectations of my dream for a moist fudgy chocolate cake. My husband told me this place prides itself for having the best chocolate cake in LA but I think there's room for improvement. Service wise- my husband said they were very helpful they did ask for how many people the cake was for and he said 7 so they recommended a 3 layer cake ( i think 2 layers is more than enough but again that's my opinion because there was more than half of the cake leftover) read more
