Here all the time as it's close to the grandbabies school, so we'll stop in frequently. My favorite cake is the banana raspberry and it's my "birthday wish" every year. Donuts, cookies, creme puffs aplenty in here and all are delicious. Close to home, friend of the family so to speak, (my eldest went to school with the owners daughter) and always reasonable when it comes to price. Love it! read more

For being a long time bakery, I feel like some of the goods are poor quality. The brownies tasted like something you could make at home and the frosting was cheap. The girl that helped me was not friendly and I had to ask her which each item is because I wasn't sure and she seemed annoyed. I had to bring these baked goods to a potluck so I was disappointed they weren't as good as I expected them to be and embarrassed, although one guy said the cookies were good. read more

Polly Ann Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Pedro, California

This place is traditional, but, in a way that is uncommon. For example, they serve the traditional goods of a bakery, cupcakes, cookies, and cakes. But they also serve pizza that is ready in the morning, I think they call it something different than Pizza, mayve tomato pie, here, I mean anything that makes it a breakfast treat. They also have Devil Dogs, that are basically Twinkies but instead of being mass produced they are made by a baker, and instead of being white, they are chocolate covered. However both Twinkie and Devil Dog are both cream filled. What this place offers is more than just the traditional, it offers the traditional with a twist that feels new yet familiar. Ok bare with me. Imagine a girl who knows her way around a closet full of clothes and uses scissors like Beethoven uses keys. She has this dress, and she uses it a lot. But when the dress gets known, too known, I mean, she snips and cuts in a such way that the familiar becomes new but not so new where you forget the source material but all around the twirls of the new dress feels fresh. That is basically the baked good selection of this place. You can get definitely get a biscotti and a chocolate chip cookie but you can also get thumbprint cookies, and muffins, and danishes that have two flavors and look like an eight (I did not take their pictures) and so much more. I never had anything that I did not like. My boss raves about the jelly donuts. When you order, they give you the goods in a box, which I believe always communicates more pleasure and elegance than when goods are given in a bag or donut box. The box is white. Again, all of this means that if you take these goods to work, or a party you will subtly say I went to a bakery that is not inside a store, and I did not go to get something basic, I took the time and spend the money to get something at a bakery. And you wont spend too much money here. And you get good value too! The person that almost helps me is named Minerva. One time, I explained to her, in Spanish, that her name is the Goddess of Wisdom in Roman Mythology. Another time I went, I tried to explain to her the same thing, but she reminded me, with accurate information, that I had already done that. I mean, this place allowed me to give someone a story to their name. I wonder how she will pass this story along, like will it ever be a handy talking point or just a story that makes her feel grand for a moment? Like I am the queen of the wise, I can handle this puzzle. She also told me that her husband is the baker. It is sweet to know that I can access a small town bakery in a small city. I mean this place is all good, I would find it hard to complain about them. Minerva even lets me in a little bit early before they open. It is a drag because not everything is ready, but they have enough, for me to be happy. And of course I understand that they can have the whole selection ready just for me. I like their biscotti. Dunk them in coffee and you will be set. read more

It's our new go to place for birthday cakes. Quality cakes, perfect balance bread/frosting...just returned for another cake!

I'm giving 2 stars because I like the cookies. However, their customer service lately has seriously been lacking. I called 11/24 to place my Thanksgiving order for pickup today, 11/26 and they claimed they never received my order and they sold out of the rolls I ordered. I will not be ordering from here again, it's truly disappointing because I love to support small businesses. read more

The woman working here was super sweet. I had driven by this place many times over the years whenever I'd be in San Pedro & I finally stopped in. It is SO inexpensive I picked up a few cookies & a cupcake for less than $5! I'd definitely like to stop in again. There are a few other places on that street that look cute to try! read more

Happy to support a local business! Came in Thursday afternoon to pick out a cake from the display case. The woman behind the counter told me what each cake flavoring was and even asked if I would like writing on the cake. I declined the writing because I thought the cake was really cute the way it was! And the cake was delicious. Light and soft sponge and the raspberry cream filling is great. Definitely coming back for future birthday cakes. read more

Every single cake my family has ordered from here has been excellent and everything we asked for! We get 4-5 cakes a year from this bakery. I highly recommend them. They will make whatever cake you need and can decorate it accordingly. We have used them for weddings, birthdays, baby and bridal showers and other celebrations. 10/10 below are just a few examples of the cakes they have done for us which were exactly how we described them! read more

This is a classic San Pedro bakery with yummy treats. The smell is heavenly there are certain businesses in San Pedro that have been here for so long if you're a local and grew up here, you probably went here as a kid. It reminds me of the bakery. I used to go to in the city of Orange, where I grew up. I love the smell, takes me right back. The only difference is the pastries are even better than the ones I remember as a kid:-) this San Pedro staple should be on your list if you're checking out places to visit eat like a local :-) read more

I ordered a marble cake for my moms birthday. Everyone loved it and asked where I got it. Very reasonable price for a custom order! All of the other desserts looked amazing. And the owner and staff were so kind I highly recommend! read more

Came in today to pick up some Valentine's Day cookies. The designs are very nice. But the only thing got to me was one of the workers there didn't use gloves. She was touching my cookies bare hands. Makes me wonder if she's like that too while baking cookies read more

Lupe was beyond amazing!!! We are selecting our cake and she was able to recommend great flavors, we fell in love with all their flavors to the point we had to really debate for our three tier cake! Lupe's service to brides is a MUST she's super helpful very attentive, excellent communication, great personality and even provided me with a cup of coffee as we sat outside the local business to taste all the flavors!!! I am beyond impressed with the taste of the their filling options for mousse's. Highly recommend their chocolate cake with the chocolate mousse! It was our top favorite. I'm addition to that she let us take the cake tasting sample that she had created. Thank you Lupe for all your help!!! We are coming back for our one year anniversary and hope to see you here!!! read more

I have been coming here for my entire life! The chocolate dot cookies and bear claws are excellent!!

Had a good morning begin with ordering fresh donuts for an assistant living home in the neighborhood. Minerva was pleasant and helpful in taking my order. She promised to deliver them within a few minutes, and she kept her word! The Home text me with a Big Thank You and kudos for the donuts. They were a hit! read more

I went in today to grab some cookies for my kids and the bakery was so hot!!! Not just a little like unbearably hot. I asked the young ladies why don't they have an AC unit and they told me that they have one but it's broken and hasn't been fixed in forever. It looked like the owner has some fans in there but Iam sorry that's bad working conditions for these poor girls. Even the glaze on the doughnuts was melting off. Iam sorry the cookies maybe good but they need to take care of their employees read more

I ordered carrot cupcakes with orange carrot decoration on each one but they neglected to put the carrot decoration on the cupcake. The cake part was a little dry but very flavorful. Keep in mind that we picked up on a Saturday for a Sunday party, so maybe that's the day old flavor. The cream cheese frosting was 5 star excellent. read more

I have one word for you in this place: Get the Devil Dogg! Everything else ok, sorta generic but better than a supermarket bakery (probably costs more tho) Staff is nice too read more

Be careful they over charge you big time. They will tell you something is $1.75 each and charge you $2.75 each. I don't know if the girl is ripping off the establishment! read more

Ask for a detailed receipt. They will quote you one amount and then try to charge your account more. When you call them on it they clear the calculator and come up with a new total. Eclairs are tasty but the fraud is gross read more

Went by the bakery, arrived at 5:52 and saw the"closed" sign and thought did they change their times. I know they close at 6:00 and we're almost there but it's not 6:00. I knocked on the door and the two girls at the counter just shrugged their shoulders and were like oh we're closed. I looked at my watch and said oh you closed early. And nothing from them. They couldn't help me for one minute?? I think Diane Voss needs to know how they are managing things. Don't make the regulars unhappy. Not cool. read more

This bakery is absolutely not what I expected. I ordered a small 7inch round cake from Polly Ann for my wedding for just me and my husband to cut. I have never seen a cake messed up so badly. I never got a chance to send them a photo of what I wanted since I ordered it over the phone, but based on the gorgeous cakes I've seen online I did not think it would be an issue. I specifically asked for "a 7 inch round cake with green frosting to be like paint smeared on the sides of the cake with real flowers and our date." I truly can not believe how awful this turned out. Considering the cakes I have seen from them are gorgeous. I'd maybe think about going somewhere else... I'm really disappointed because I was recommended here by my friend who had a cake done here and it was beautiful. I now have to have my florist cover the whole cake with his flowers because this is just so ugly read more

I've ordered a total of 4 cakes from Polly Ann Bakery over the past few years and I don't know why I never reviewed them on yelp.

The cakes are so good! I've ordered red velvet, marble, tiramisu and they are delicious. This cake I ordered for my daughter's birthday.

Polly Ann Bakery made the cake for my recent wedding and it turned out amazing. We did a tasting about a month prior and got to try several types of cake, mixed and matched with the fillings of our choice. (side note: we also got to take home several mini cakes - score!). Everything tasted so good! We ultimately selected two layers of white cake with a layer of chocolate mousse and another layer of strawberry mousse, then a third layer of chocolate cake with a red raspberry filling. Next up was what we wanted the cake to look like. We conveyed our ideas via text and on the big day were thrilled to see how faithfully represented they were. From start to finish, working with Minerva at Polly Ann Bakery was a joy and we are over the moon with how everything turned out. read more

The wedding cake they made for us was INSANE!!! LOOK AT THE PICTURE! LIke...HOLY COW. Breathtaking. It stole the show for our audience last night. Incredibly, incredibly props to the whole Polly Ann Bakery team. We collaborated on the design back and forth and they executed to perfection. The owner had a booklet of like 200+ cakes from the past 50+ years and we took inspiration from past cakes for ours. Feel very comfortable as they do so many weddings to Michael's Tuscany Room as well. read more

Although the staff was very nice and the cake was cute, the cake was dry and stale tasting.. seems like it was maybe a day or 2 old?

Dropped into Polly Ann Bakery on my daughter's birthday, 8/22/24. She lives in San Pedro. I was looking for Sweet Harmony by Anne and didn't realize she bakes from her home. I didn't want to go to her house without a cake, so I decided to buy 6 small cupcakes. Seriously, they were so stale and the worst tasing cupcake I've ever had. I paid $18.00 for them. The sales person was very friendly and helpful; I will say that, but I do not recommend this bakery at all. I took one bite and didn't eat the rest. We threw them out. If I lived nearby, I would've taken them back. read more

I ordered a three tiered naked cake for my baby shower on January 30th 2021 and it was amazing. I did the classic white wedding cake flavor with the raspberry mousse in between the layers. So perfect. The cake was air light and fluffy not heavy at all, the raspberry mousse was also very light and fluffy not to sweet and the perfect amount of raspberry Delicious! Thank you So much for doing such a wonderful job on my cake. Ps I added the fresh fruit and leaves. read more
