    Miguel R.

    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.

    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.

    Gender reveal heart cake

    The gender reveal cake I ordered was decorated so cute. I will definitely be using them again!

    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.

    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!

    Customer service is great but the pastries are BLAND! How do you mess up a basic birthday cake? Dry and tasteless.

    LFB is in a touristy area also frequented by locals near Redondo Beach. There is a paid public lot…read morenear by, but locals know that you can park for free on the lettered streets just north of this area and walk over. LFB has a very small store front in a relatively small strip mall and is off the Main Street and so not too visible, but not hard to find with a map app. The service people were reasonably friendly, but we felt a bit rushed going through their line. There is limited seating outside (only two tables outside apparently shared with other near by businesses) and barely enough room for the line inside with no indoor seating. So plan to get your food and eat it while you walk on the beach, in your car, or at any near by scenic overlook point. We got four items: mushroom pastry, chicken jalapeño pastry, beef curry pastry, and chicken croquette. We liked all of them. The chicken jalapeño pastry had good flavor but was not super hot--others will not think it is not hot enough. The mushroom pastry is literally covered and heaped with mushrooms, so make sure u like mushrooms if u try it. The chicken croquette was very "potatoy" but seemed to have decent amount of chicken. The beef curry pastry absolutely had the best flavor, but it was super greasy. Make sure to check their menu online for the most recent offerings before you go so that you do not slow down their line or feel rushed and definitely give these guys a try if in the area.

The display case alone will get you -- everything looked so good. We ended up getting the red velvet cookie and a peanut butter cookie. The peanut butter cookie was really good -- flavorful but not overpowering, and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. It had that classic soft texture with just enough chew. The red velvet cookie, on the other hand, was a bit too sweet for me personally. If you love super sweet desserts, you'll probably enjoy it, but it was a little much for my taste. Overall, still a cute stop for a quick sweet treat, especially if you're already out and about and craving dessert.
