We were checking out the new Gelato Mio next door and noticed Napoleon Bakery after parking. The interior was so attractive that we were enticed to go inside an check out their wares. Although it was close to closing time, the young man who was minding the shop was very friendly and gracious in answering our questions. They have a beautiful selection of cake slices, pastries, and even coffee drinks available. They do custom whole cakes for birthdays and other occasions. With the name of Napoleon, I thought it was a French bakery. It turns out that they specialize in a number of European confections, including options from Eastern Europe. Without a lot of time before they were done for the day, Dear Hubby and I each chose a cake slice, and we got a cake pop for our Sweet Granddaughter. She got to pick the color icing she preferred, which was nice. The pricing seems fair, especially given the loving care that's gone into baking and decorating each baked treat. We will definitely be visiting again. They are within 5 to 10 minutes of where our kids live, so there you go - a new "secret" place discovered! read more

Napoleon Bakery - Gorgeous cake slices. - Bakeries Near Me - Northridge, California

We saw this place next door after having lunch/dinner at Boiling Pot next door on Sunday. The place looked popular with tables filled on the patio and the pastries on display through the window looked intriguing so decided to take a chance and maybe get a small coffee and some pastries to try. There was a young man at the counter who welcomed us with a wonderful smile. He said his name is Said (pronounced Sa-eed) and asked if it was our first time here. We said it was, so he offered to give us some samples of their most popular bake goods. He said it is made of light custard and it's called soft cake and it is traditional pastry from his country in Uzbekistan that his mother bakes all from scratch. In Asia we also don't like overly sweet cakes so we thought it sounded to fit our taste preferences. And we loved it after trying! My mom said it tastes very similar to the cake she had back in Seoul in her childhood she misses fondly, but she could never have that same taste. Just a little sweeter. But the custard and texture of the cake is just the same. We also got the eclair. And it was pretty good too. But definitely recommend the soft cake!! Sooo yummyyy!! I also got the strawberry cold foam matcha latte and my mom got a small americano coffee. She said it's the best coffee she had in a cafe. Of course superb compared to Starbucks or any other coffee franchise. She says American coffee shops always burn their beans so it tastes burnt, but this place roasted the beans just right. And we also loved the strawberry cold foam matcha. I don't know how, but it tasted like really strawberry was in the drink!! My mom said it's the best strawberry milk she ever had here and in Korea! And she wants to order again when we come by next time. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Food and drinks were all prepared with such care, but given at a reasonable time. Some of these cafes take forever to make your drinks, even Starbucks makes you wait 20 minutes! These other coffee shops make it seem like they're doing some complex chemistry experiment how long it takes for just a drink! But this young guy he makes the drink in under 5 min and it tastes 10x better anything those other coffee shops make, but in less than half the time! I really thought maybe it was really hard making drinks, but this young dude makes it look like a walk in the park, the speed and ease he cranks out the drinks. I think Uzbekistan people must be just built different! and he was also so kind and pleasant taking the time to explain and answer all our questions. Some of these other places wouldn't even bother or make it feel like you're pulling a nail from them the way they grimace. He was so nice we wanted to give a tip, but he even said he didn't want us to. He'd happily accept just our enjoying the food and drinks and would appreciate if we left a review for his cafe. just had to leave a review. Especially after how nice he is. And hearing his story and how it's a family run bakery with the mom baking and son making drinks and running front counter. And an authentic European bakery!! Wow! Aren't we so glad they moved into our neighborhood! A Real quality cafe I didn't even know what I was missing until I stepped into this little shop by mere chance! I Will definitely come by again. And anyone else who discovers this little gem would be so lucky and blessed as us! read more

The napoleon soft cake is amazing. Better than the Mille crepe cakes but similar in a way where you get thin layers of cream and crepe. I found it to be more moist compared to other crepe cakes I've had. The crunchy napoleon is good too if you like puff pastry. Also tried the honey cake with prunes and that was so soft! The service is friendly overall. The bakery itself is small but they have some tables and chairs outside. read more

This was our first time ordering from this bakery, and we decided to trust them with my daughter's birthday cake. Even on short notice, they took our order and did an amazing job! The cake looked exactly like the image my daughter wanted, and it tasted just as incredible. We chose the chocolate mousse flavor, and everyone loved it. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we'll definitely be ordering from them again. Highly recommend! read more

I'm a first time customer and I took a leap of faith by ordering my girlfriend's custom birthday cake from them after seeing pictures of their cakes on yelp. When I picked up the cake, I was truly blown away by the beautiful work of art they created. All I did was send them a few pictures and briefly explain what I was looking for and they made my vision come to life better than I had imagined it! They were easy to work with, their prices are reasonable, and the cake which was chocolate mousse flavor was delicious and decadent! This cake was a showstopper and I can't wait to order another custom cake from them! read more

Finding a true neighborhood gem is so exciting! I had a special request and the baker nailed it for me. The communication was amazing; everyone I dealt with was super helpful and lovely to work with. And their baked goods are scrumptious! My favorite frosting of all time! (And I'm so picky about that.) but they just do a gorgeous job on everything. We even walked in the first time and they made us a coffee they'd never made before and he nailed that! Such a great experience all around. Just delightful. Many thanks for the great service and delicious desserts. read more

Napoleon Bakery is likely one of the most compelling hidden gems to visit here in the valley. You can absolutely taste, feel, and see the hand crafted quality, and meticulous attention to detail with not only the desserts, but iced coffees, and they even make custom cakes that are perfect for events, and birthdays! I came to visit here on my break and I met Tim and found out this was a family run bakery. They set up every morning and it's all super fresh. They're more than happy to give you a tour of their sweets and personalized recommendations. Everything is made from scratch and you can absolutely taste the difference. It is completely night and day. The ambiance is very cozy and I've recently come to just say hi to the crew and get some work done between work. They make you feel welcomed and have definitely earned my business. Thank you! read more

Second time ordering custom cake from them and the cake was way beyond expectations. I simply shared a picture of my kid's favorite Pokémon, and they did an amazing job. Although I accident broke the ear from moving, my daughter was extremely happy with her Sylveon cake. It was funny when the party trying to decide how to cut the cake ... and the unintentional choice of red velvet made it seem more violet, ooops! read more

We ate in this shopping plaza and came across this bakery. We were given a sample of the Napoleon cake and it was delicious. We ended up buying couple of slices and some cookies and cake pop. Everything was so good! They also have a nice coffee list and will definitely come back to try it one of the mornings. The staff were really nice as well. It's located inside a plaza so it's not visible from the streets. But there is ample parking spaces. If you are looking for cake or any sweets or coffee, definitely stop by! read more

The staff was friendly and the service was excellent. I highly recommend Napoleon's Bakery for any special occasion! read more

Napoleon Bakery - Found out a really good bakery! - Bakeries Near Me - Northridge, California

Decided to check out this bakery while waiting in line for hotpot next door and I am so glad I did! The girl at the front was very friendly and informative on all the pastries and cakes. I sampled the Napoleon cake for the first time and it reminds me so much of crepe cakes! The cake was delicious and she let me know it's a Russian type of cake. They also do custom cakes which look amazing, I'm planning on ordering one for my son's birthday. Prices are reasonable as well. I decided to get some fruit tarts, chocolate eclair and of course the Napoleon cake! Also the bakery was clean and organized. I'll definitely be returning to try more desserts. read more

Amazing Coffee Cart and Pastry Catering! I could not have asked for anything more, and I am picky!! Tim showed up for a weekday event on time, with a great attitude, beautiful, clean catering truck and all of the supplies to set up a beautiful coffee and matcha bar. The pastries and custom drinks were amazing!!! Tim's service was beyond and the event was a buzz for days. The prices were great, making this an affordable option for a smaller event, but I can't wait to use them for one of a bigger affair!! read more

Stopped here to get an evening coffee after visiting the hot pot place next door and I have to say it's a hidden gem! I ordered a Lavender Haze Latte which is a lavender vanilla latte and absolutely loved it. Coffee will always have a top spot in my heart and when I say the drink I was given hit the spot I was not exaggerating! The espresso was perfect not acidic or burnt like many other "coffee" shops and the syrups used seemed to be made in house! The guy that helped us out that Saturday night was kind and offered my sisters and I some samples. I'm not a huge dessert person but that pastry was perfectly creamy and sweat especially considering it had been on display. All though small, the inside still had some sitting space inside and out that you could definitely sit and enjoy your treats at. I'm definitely coming back next time I'm in the area craving some good coffee! read more

I've been coming to this lot for a while, but somehow never saw this place tucked into the corner. I decided to try it out, and it was a great experience. The owners son gave us samples of their most popular dessert, the soft Napoleon, and happily told us all about it and many of the items they sell. We tried the Woolworth cheesecake (it's no bake, and it's so soft and fluffy that I'm not sure I could call it cheesecake, but it's so good!), and the crunchy Napoleon (just as messy as we were told, but ultimately just as soft as the soft Napoleon with a different texture). Their prices are very reasonable for the serving size, and now I have to go back and try more things! I forgot to take pictures, sadly... read more

Great service and great Napoleon cake. Everyone loved it! Thank you, we will be back!

Found this little gem while waiting for Guitar Center to open. I'm not big on breads, however I absolutely loved the almond croissant, which had an organic almond butter on the inside. The young gentleman who helped us a was very friendly & informative & even gave us a sample of the "Soft Napoleon" which is what they're known for. That treat was a pleasant surprise! Very light & flavorful. Also, got a matcha to accompany the quick bite which was what I needed. Highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by! I always love to support local family owned businesses :) read more

I ordered online and sent a picture of what I was thinking. Except I wanted 1 tier. They replicated the picture exactly. The cake was beautiful! The service was spectacular and the two young workers were absolutely amazing when I picked the cake up. Price was very reasonable as well. am giving them 4 stars because the cake and frosting was so sweet we couldn't enjoy it. However the filling which was a cream cheese and strawberries was so delicious. We all basically ate the filling out and left the cake. I would recommend this bakery just ask for a less sweet version. read more

I found this little bakery by doing a quick Google search and honestly didn't expect to discover such a gem. What a wonderful surprise! The cheesecakes are absolutely delicious -- rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. Not overly sweet, just smooth and indulgent in the best way. You can really taste the homemade touch, and it feels like one of those special neighborhood spots you almost want to keep secret... but can't because it's too good not to share. The staff is also very welcoming and extremely helpful. If you're a cheesecake lover, this place is definitely worth the stop. I'll absolutely be coming back to try more flavors! read more

All the pastries in the bakery looked absolutely delicious. We tried the Napoleon, key lime cheesecake, and tiramisu--each one was outstanding. The coffee was rich and aromatic, perfectly complementing the desserts. David was incredibly charismatic and welcoming; he took the time to explain each pastry and even offered us a taste of the soft, delicate Napoleon. A wonderful experience from start to finish. read more

I called to ask about inventory, and they were also open on NYE, so decided to go. I asked for a sample of the soft napoleon, and it was good so decided to get other things too. The portions weren't bad for the prices either. - Soft Napoleon: nice custard, soft layers, and not too sweet - Crunchy Napoleon: I appreciate crispy textures, so I did like this more compared to the soft version - Honey cake: I saw from another review that they use sour cream and it did help to cut down on the sweetness but definitely still sweeter than the napoleon's. It was a bit too peculiar for me to get again. The iced matcha rose latte had too much rose syrup for my liking, but I watered it down when I got home. It helped a little but the matcha flavor got lost. They have a few other things I want to try (milky girl strawberry? the pavlova also looks interesting although I'm not a big fan of meringue). read more

The staff was sweet and he's knowledgeable about all the items in their menu. It took awhile for my friend and I to decide which cake to buy, but he was very patient with us. We came from the hotpot next door and wanted some dessert. It wasn't opened at first. I think the staff went on a short mandatory break and since he's working alone, we waited for maybe 10 minutes? The cake we had was decent. I don't remember what it's called but it was custard like. It's decent, but it's not something I'd crave to get again. It's a stop and go, type of place. You can sit outside, if you'd like to eat there. I just wanted to say, the staff was a saint. The person waiting after us was pretty mean and sarcastic, but he was patient and answered all of his questions. read more

"This is a pastry shop, the best in all of Los Angeles that I know. I've tried pastries in many places, but none were as delicious as here. Their Napoleon is number one in all of Los Angeles.

I stumbled upon Napoleon Bakery while I was waiting to go to a restaurant next door. Small bakery but full of flavor with East Europe and Middle East treats, I tried 2 and they were awesome (Napoleon cake and eclairs) Service was fantastic, a very polite young gentleman helped me pick the pastries. The place was not big, nice decor and pictures from previous cakes ordered. I recommend this coffee shop. read more

I keep craving something sweet after Sunday dinner... lol. Always starts in the summer and last until about Halloween. This year it's lasting a bit longer cuz Thanksgiving is a few days away way :) oh well, you only live once -- indulge! I wanted cheesecake and this boba place I found on Uber Eats that had pan dulce cheesecake no longer carried it or ran out :( but this place had some! So I zipped over w/ my daughter. It's located across from Porto's by the Guitar Center (and this New Mexican restaurant I've been meaning to try). Small shop. But has plenty of treats! Picked up 3 cake pops and some carmel cheesecake. The bill Came to $15. Cake pops are $2.50 so that means the cheesecake was $6-$7 but I thought I saw a sign that said $4.50. Nice girl offered me my receipt but I declined it. I mention this because all of the prices are very reasonable. I was surprised the bill wasn't closer to $12-$13. Still worth it but next time I'll take the receipt to know what the exact costs are -- no problem though. I'll definitely be back! read more

We ordered 4 dozen mini cupcakes for my kids bday party, and the staff was so accommodating and patient with me while we figured out our options. The cupcakes were also delicious, and were devoured by both parents and kids. I'll be back! Highly recommend read more

We hired Napoleon Bakery for a private event, and the execution was precise and professional. They set up a full espresso stand with a wide selection of coffee and tea options. Everything ran smoothly: punctual arrival, clean setup, efficient service, and a consistently organized workflow throughout the event. On-site operations were handled by Temur, who was particularly effective--attentive, polite, and fully in control of the process. We also ordered a large cake from them. It was well-designed, balanced in flavor (not overly sweet), and delivered exactly on time. No operational issues. Clear recommendation without reservations. read more

I was having THE WORST DAY EVER. I hadn't eaten anything all day because my braces hurt so much and I could only eat soft things so I was ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE. Then I came across this cute little cake shop, was offered a sample and ate the softest, creamiest, yummiest cake ever making my day 1000 times better The cake was sooo good. Not too sweet, super creamy yet very light and almost refreshing! I ate it with a chocolate chai latte and it went so well together Will definitely be back to try the Strawberry Cake because it looked so good too, but the free sample got me Thanks for brightening up my day with these delicious treats One bite was really enough to completely change the grumpy mood I was in all day read more

What a hidden gem! This place is small, but packed with incredible freshly made treats. We tried the cake truffle, which was decadently chocolatey but not overpowering. Chocolate lovers who don't love cloy-sweet treats, this one is for you! The honeycake was out of this world. It's made with sour cream, which balances out the sweetness of the honey. In all, I'm not a cake person. I usually find them too sweet and heavy. However, I greatly enjoyed everything we had here and will definitely return! Also, the customer service was super kind and helpful! read more
