Stopped by Roji Bakery and ended up leaving with a whole box of pastries. Everything looked too good to pick just one. The pastries tasted super fresh, light, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. It's the kind of place where you can tell there's real attention to quality. Already planning to go back and try more. read more

This place is so good. We had the dirty Thai iced teas and wow they're soooo good. A great place to do some remote work, it's relatively quiet but a cute ambiance. We also got a baguette to take home. $4 for a freshly baked baguette? I wanna go there everyday lol. It was so delicious and I want to try their sandwiches. Will definitely be back! read more

stumbled across this bakery while i was waiting for my reservation at a neighboring brunch place. the atmosphere in here is SO adorable with their handmade wreaths and wall decorations. they have such a good variety of different flavors and pastries - spam musubi and avocado egg rolls, matcha cinnamon rolls, etc. they were also selling handmade pastry charm earrings near the register!! the cashier was super sweet and enthusiastic about giving recommendations for which pastries he liked the best. i bought the chocolate banana danish and it was genuinely AMAZING. the banana and chocolate flavors went so amazingly well together. i ate the whole thing even though i was originally planning on just taking a bite. it wasn't too crazy sweet either. i also got the cat shaped bread loaf (matcha and black sesame flavor for ears) which is such a cute idea :,) i just had to buy it. next time i'd want to try the croissants and matcha flavored pastries!! i'd definitely visit if i'm back in the area. read more

On my way to another appointment my path crossed this sweet little bakery Cafe again. First discovered a couple years ago, I am so glad to be able to stop in again. It's just delightful with friendly service, paper doll neighborhood along the back wall and delicious choices, including a couple gluten free items. read more

Enjoyed the bulgogi sandwich and katsu sandwich-made the mistake of getting it on the wrong bread, it would taste better on the milk loaf. Also took a salt bread to go. Overall cute local bakery with friendly service and mom and pop vibes. Will be back to try their other pastries and some fresh pizza. Want to try their adorable cat paw bread as well. read more

Roji Bakery - Chocolate Banana Danish, Turkey Ham & Cheese Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A cute and cozy bakery/cafe with a variety of sweet and savory options. I got the matcha croissant, almond croissant, corn pan, and hojicha latte (less sweet). First of all the hojicha latte was one of the best I've ever had!! It was so cream and nutty with a strong but not overpowering hojicha flavor. The croissants were solid and tasted better warmed up. They were also on the smaller size and a bit more dry and not as flaky as I would have hoped. I was looking for the black sesame pastries but perhaps they had sold out by later in the afternoon when I went. I love the cute decor and artwork, and the bakery has a cozy mom and pop local cafe vibe. There are a few tables, free Wifi, and a couple outlets so an option for getting some work done remotely. Metered or neighborhood street parking. read more

I was super excited to check out this spot as I discovered their pastries at another coffee shop in Santa Monica. The inside is very inviting with some tables to sit and eat both on the inside and the outside of the bakery. It's got a casual and rustic atmosphere and you can see all the assortment of pastries on display. Parking can get tough, it's street or neighborhood parking mostly in the area off of a busy street (La Brea). Service was pretty fast, they're helpful especially if you're buying multiple pastries. Matcha roll: 5/5 - loved this the most. Great matcha flavor but not overpowering, just the right level of sweetness for me and also balanced (not too dense or too light on the dough). A real winner! Cheese edamame roll: 5/5 - I really liked this a lot, they use it for some of their sandwich items and I took mine home to have with cream cheese. A great alternative to a bagel and with the bits of edamame inside I found it pleasantly filling! Yuzu Americano: 4/5 - the juice/coffee blend is popular in South Korea (they do orange juice or peach tea with coffee) so if you're not a fan of that unique mix you will not like this. But I really enjoy the blend of flavor, a good alternative to adding sugar. The Yuzu was delicate and the balance to the americano was the right amount for me! Some of the misses: Azpan: 3/5 - I expected a sweeter roll but this ended up tasting more savory (and actually it kind of had savory pizza crust flavor which made me wonder whether this was made with the same pizza dough or in a similar oven to the pizza). There also wasn't a lot of flavor on the fillings (I love red bean but it wasn't sweet and you couldn't tell there was cream cheese in it. French onion danish: 2/5 - this one was unfortunately a miss for me. The dough wasn't flaky like I expected (really dense) and the filling didn't taste good to me at all (tasted a bit artificial like it was using some French onion seasoning mix vs fresh filling). I wouldn't get this again. All in all a good spot with both hits and misses but worth it for the items that hit! I've had several of their croissants before too and those ones are winners so stick to those when you visit. read more

A cute Japanese-inspired bakery off of a busy street with street parking only. Fortunately, the neighborhood allows for 1-2 hours free parking, but it is shared with quite a few other businesses and restaurants in the area. Service was ok. I was not greeted immediately when I walked in, but when they did acknowledge me, they were pleasant. 1. Curry Pan (3.5/5) Similar to a curry croquette. It's slightly crispy on the outside, yet the dough was chewy on the inside. Texture of the bread was decent, but I have to say the curry filling inside was under-performing. The curry was too salty and too starchy/thick. You can see in the photo that it clumps up instead of being melty and evenly dispersed throughout the inside of the bread. I like the corn they added inside as gave it a subtle, buttery taste. 2. Black Sesame Anpan (4/5) This is a combination of black sesame and red asuki bean. If you like black sesame and red bean, this is for you. I like that the bread itself is smooth, soft and airy. The black sesame-red bean filling inside was not too sweet, but yet the combination of flavor really stood out. Minus 1 star only because for some reason, the dough was a bit bitter. I like the black sesame seeds on the outside of the bun as it added a nice toasti-ness flavor 3. Edamame Cheese Bun (5/5) You have to eat this bread warm to enjoy the most out of it. On its own, the bread is moist and full of its cheesy fragrance. The addition of edamame to the bread is quite a unique concept. You don't really taste the edamame, but it gives the bread that bean-like texture. Overall, this is a must try 4. Truffle Avocado on Edamame Cheese Bread (1/5) If you are a truffle lover, the name alone catches your attention. You would think after a 5/5 rating on the edamame cheese bun on its own would make this a star combo, sadly, that was not the case. There were hardly any truffle flavor at all. I think the only truffle flavoring comes from the truffle salt that they sprinkle on top of the avocado, which made it a bit too salty (and this is coming from a savory person). The avocado was super creamy and it just overpowered the cheese flavor of the edamame cheese bread and ruined the overall texture as well. The edamame cheese bread on its own was moist already, so with all that avocado slathered on top, literally, all you taste is the rich creaminess of the avocado with a bit of a dull crunch from the crushed walnuts that they add on top. It was a good experience, but would not get again. 4. Black Sesame Croissant (5/5) WOW - easily my favorite. The croissant had such flakey layers and was sooo full of fragrant sesame flavor from the white and black seeds on the outside and from the black sesame paste on the inside. When toasted, it is just a toasty sesame heaven. 5. Matcha Almond Croissant (2/5) There's so much potential here. The almond cookie texture on top of the croissant had a very stale texture. I am not sure if it's just not fresh or it needs some work. The almond flavoring was underwhelming and you can barely taste any matcha from the lightly sprinkled matcha powder on top. The matcha cream on the inside was much better, but it was too minimal to make any impact on the overall flavor. They also added a few pieces of white chocolate on top, which was unnecessary. It just gave it more sweetness, which on its own, was already pretty sweet. I hope they will work more on this and bring out its potential. 6. Black Sesame Almond Croissant (3/5) Another wonderful concept combining the normally much loved almond croissant with black sesame seeds and black sesame paste. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectation. I think again, the almond cookie part of it destroyed it (too stale). The croissant did not have the same flakiness as the black sesame croissant because of the staleness of the almond cookie part. The almond cookie part did not contrast the black sesame paste flavor well -- both were sweet on their own, so when combined, it just felt too sweet and chewy. I will stick to the Black sesame croissant without the almond part next time. They do have a good amount of black sesame paste inside this croissant, so glad they were not skimpy on the filling here. Overall, I like their unique flavors and will be back to try more. read more

I really want to like this place. It really nice and clean on the inside and a lot of items on the menu look real good. The staff here were very kind. Today I ordered a Blueberry Lemon Scone and unfortunately I didn't taste the blueberry or lemon in the pastry. For my drink I had a Latte as usual but for some reason this drink had a fishy scent to it every time I would go to drink it and I thought it was my hands or something else but I popped the lid to my drink and would smell the scent coming from the coffee and i was put off by it. However, I'm not giving up on the spot. I would like to come back and try the pizzas and give a different drink a try. Parking is very minimal. read more

Food: Not going to lie, I saw the matcha cinnamon roll on TikTok and immediately went to the bakery the next morning LOL. Loved the tuna fried onion musubi and matcha cinnamon roll, but the ham and cheese croissant was disappointing. I'd recommend the curry bun as a savory option. I want to try the dirty Thai tea next time. Service: It could've been better -- I wasn't really impressed. Nobody offered to help me with anything and it was my first time visiting. Ambiance: Cute place, has WiFi and tables if you want to work remotely (tables are a bit small though FYI) read more

I drove about almost 30 minutes to try these because the food looked good! Even though the ambience and look of it is pretty, as we were looking to order the food we saw flies flying in the food display.

A cute Japanese-owned bakery in LA. I wanted to try everything, so I got a few pastries and sandwiches. The pastries are good, but nothing special. I got a fruit sandwich because I absolutely love the fresh fruit and whipped cream sandwiches in Japan, but it fell short. The whipped cream wasn't light and fluffy, but more like an American and Japanese whipped cream mix. In addition, their items are on the pricier side for the portions they give. read more

Cute and quiet bakery. There are a lot of other pastry options but we got the chocolate almond croissant. I like how there is a cookie top layer which adds to the sweetness of it. The semi sweet chocolate inside helped balance the sweetness with the cookie. The size was a bit small in my opinion but overall still good. Didn't taste the almond as much as I expected. I wouldn't complain though since I wouldn't want it to overpower the chocolate croissant part. I would come again if I was craving a sweet treat and wanted some unique options! read more

Not doing any research, but the look and feel entering the bakery could already tell me it's been there for awhile. Yeah, that kind of local long-standing bakery which I bet are lots of people favorite to-go based on how long its existence has been. The interior was simple, classic, and could tell not much changes have been made. Coming on Sunday afternoon, you might have guessed it right that the showcase was near being empty. Many have been sold out, but I was lucky they still had the chocolate almond croissant I wanna try. The size was quite petite compared to common ones, but the generous chocolate filling and the deliciously crunchy almond layer on top would be called the winners! I also loved how it looked simple but the taste was simply comforting. I would surely go back to try more and next time would make it earlier in the day to get the complete selection! read more

I doordashed these about a half hour ago and I had to write a review immediately because the Matcha Roll changed lives (mine). The roll had a strong matcha flavor, bread was fluffy and chewy, and it was the perfect sweetness. The Black Sesame Croissant was also delicious and had a strong sesame flavor, but was just small for the price. The Cinnamon Apple Danish was just okay. Very bready. COME HERE for the matcha roll though!! I will be back. read more

Cute Japanese bakery and cafe. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There's street parking but not much. Some people work here in the mornings. The items are a bit pricy but I don't come here often so I'll pick up a few things when Im in the area. The hojicha latte isn't too sweet which I love. The bread smells really fragrant and taste fresh out the oven. The pastries have a wonderful flavor profile. I can actually taste the matcha, earl grey, and lavender flavors in them. Would def be coming back to try their hot sandwiches and pizzas one day! read more

I came in here for breakfast and had the cheese edamame bread and the salt bread. They were both really nice and moist. The cheese one had a real strong cheddar flavor which is exactly what you want. The salt bread was like a lighter pretzel. My iced vanilla latte was also good. The service was immediate and I received my food and drink within about a minute. I would be excited to try other things on the menu like the more sweet options. read more

Exceptional place that proves marketing is almost everything. No reason the line shouldn't be down the block. Beautiful, spotless place with stunning energy. Beautiful pastries that all look like each was very very carefully and individually prepared. All I got to try were the pastries but they were amazing. Uniquely delicious croissants, especially the chocolate almond. Never had one quite like it. Blueberry scone was flaky and delicate but bursting with flavor. If you haven't had milk bread yet, you are missing out on an essential food group. Uh-mazing. I didn't get to try their pizzas, as It was way too early to get one, but it's now a life goal. I will definitely be back. read more

Great breads and croissants, but sadly they are employing shrinkflation on their pastries. From our last visit two years ago to our visit last week - the pastries were 15% smaller and $1.75 more expensive. Los Angeles seems to be closing restaurants at a record pace. Consumers will pay more, we have to now, but at least keep the value in the product. read more

I loved the Japanese egg salad sandwiches as did my friend. The pastries that I tried and loved were the plain and almond croissant. The Basque burnt cheesecake and the mixed berry danish are equally delicious. My only suggestion would be to have friendlier, more knowledgeable staff. I have found the staff to be apathetic and uninterested every time that I have gone in, which is a shame because that does make a difference when choosing where to eat, it the food and pastries are excellent. read more

DO NOT ORDER UBER EATS FROM HERE. I just had a terrible experience with this bakery after coming here for years. They apparently packed my food into an Uber Bot that never made it to me.

They then called me back and said they would no longer do it and wouldn't help me with a refund. Terrible and disappointing service. read more

Cute and yummy bakery/cafe. Their decor is really cute. They have paper cutouts on their shelves and wicker baskets with croissants. Their prices are also affordable, and service is very courteous. I had the breakfast sandwich on the cheese edamame bread. The eggs were delicious and food was super fresh. They use dijon or whole grain mustard for the egg salad, which is not my favorite, but overall a good and filling meal. read more

Overall: 3.2/5 I was pretty excited to try this bakery since they had Asian inspired flavors but ended up being disappointed. We stopped by after lunch to pick up some pastries which were all pretty big. Earl Grey Scone ($4.75): This scone tastes thick in the mouth which I don't like. You also don't really taste the earl grey unless you heat up the pastry. The white chocolate also doesn't add any sweetness really and is also better heated up since you get that nice melted texture. Matcha Croissant ($5.25): This was better than the scone but is pretty average for a croissant. I do like the matcha and outer crust though so maybe it would have been better heated up. read more

Amazing Earl Grey scones and friendly service. After discovering that Roji Bakery offered Earl Grey pastries, we had to give it a try. We were hoping to get the Earl Grey rolls, but they were sold out, so we opted for the scone instead--and it was phenomenal. We also tried the matcha croissant and raspberry almond croissant, both tasty, but the Earl Grey scone easily outshined them. The service was nice, and while the prices were a bit on the high side, the scone was absolutely worth it. read more

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Well having a B in your window should have been that moment that we turned around. However we gave you the benefit of the doubt and decided to try this anyway as Infatuation said you have a pretty good cinnamon roll. Well, it shouldn't have surprised me that it took the owner along with the other two employees on staff to help just a single person while we waited. 10 minutes later we walked up to the register as waiting by the pastry case clearly wasn't an indication we wanted help. So we asked and then eventually was able to get what we came for. This was such a bizarre experience that I had to post a review on here even though I haven't posted anything for a couple of years. Now the moment of absolute truth, if you can get past all the other issues, the cinnamon roll was quite good. It's was light and pillowy with a light glaze of delicious cream cheese frosting. Its smaller size makes it feel like you don't have to run a marathon after. So I'd just say, buyer beware. read more

Hubby wanted to try Roji since we were in the area. Inside looks Lome it needs a paint job & a work in progress re decor. There were two workers at counter..I didn't hear a greeting when we entered ( we were the only ones inside) but Hubby said he heard a greeting..ok! The display case was half full( see I'm being positive! Lol) It was around 1230ish. Nothing jumped out as appealing to me. Hubby got the Blueberry and a pineapple muffin? He can't remember! Lol Anyway, we tasted them.when we got home..both were a little soggy but flavorful. Perhaps we will try again..but Earlier! They do have a pizza oven & a Terriyaki burger in the menu! read more
