I prefer the Jerusalem bagel, mini challahs, and delicious Chanukah donuts here over Continental Kosher Bakery across the street. If you're in the 818 before Shabbos, this is definitely a stop worth making. read more

Cheap they're not, but they definitely have the best bread in North Hollywood. Best Hala best buns and they always have stuff. The operation runs nonstop. Everything is super super fresh sometimes too fresh. read more

I only wanted information on their poppyseed danish cake . It was not listed on the label. I wanted to know the servings with the calories. It is not published read more

It's always so tasty! And they are so nice. The bread is moist and never dry. It's a must try!

Love the pita bread! Fluffy and fresh!! Never been in the place but bought the pita bread at the kosher mart in west La read more

Amazing suvganiot!!! Fast & friendly service Everything looks good & fresh I will be back read more

I had been here before and to be honest it slipped my mind. Not like it's terrible if I lay off bread and seeets for a while.... But still! So I was in the neighborhood and of course I had to drop in! The staff is super friendly and quite helpful. Everybody is super nice and knowledgeable. So of course I went big and it was absolutely over the top good! I picked up an extra dozen doughnuts and brought them back to the office! They were a huge hit! I'll definitely be back! read more

Sam's is fantastic - at least four stars. More research needed (yum can't wait), but based on the two items I got here, I am indeed a fan. It's a modest storefront with the baking in back. The Challah is simply delicious. Come on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday late afternoon for best results. It's my understanding that that's when it's fresh from the oven. Still warm in the bag !! It's what's inside that counts, of course, and happily they got the goods. They'll slice it for you if you want. The bread is what you hope for in Challah: eggy, soft with a nice little crust. Eat it by itself, make sandwiches, or make some awesome French Toast. Because it looked so good, I also picked up a Chocolate Babka. Yeah, that's what they get into a war over in a Seinfeld episode. Gotta say: This was damn good, too. While I have less experience with babka, what I got at Sam's was great. Plenty chocolatey, and the cake part just melted in my mouth. Glad to have discovered Sam's, and I look forward to going back soon. In a stripmall, with parking. OK: I got a little kooky for Halloween and made a music video about the Challah at Sam's. https://www.instagram.com/p/BplciNpgGaY/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet read more

It was very limited on choices and just okay in flavor. I bought some cookies. I was happy to find a Jewish bakery, I wouldn't go back.

Can definitely get better baked goods at various places within a mile distance. Nothing of notice here except the lack of the health standards. I understand some will support small businesses no matter what, but absolutely alarming to see employees exchanged cash and coins without washing their hands before returning to attend and touch baked goods. Absolutely concerning read more

this is my new go-too bakery. the bread is Awesome. Matter of fact Everything they make is awesome! going back again soon!

The jelly filled donuts here are absolutely delicious. Beautiful to look at with powdered sugar on top and red raspberry jelly oozing out of the middle. I thought my donut could have used a little more filling (I like a messy donut with the filling falling out) but it was still pretty perfect. The real star here is not the filling but the dough, which is soft, light and fluffy. Everything tasted so fresh (even the ones I ate a couple days later). I still feel light after eating this (and how many donuts can you say that about?) A simple ingredient list where I could recognize everything that went into my donut is always a plus too. Definitely recommend! For the kosher observant: These were parve (no dairy or meat products) and pas yisroel. read more

Sam's Kosher Bakery & Doughnuts - Jelly filled donut - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Amazing bakery, fresh tasty baked good.. the owner and his family are also absolutely lovely. Highly recommend!

Seems to be a good Bakery. The produces are fresh, but the go out the door quickly. Visit early in the day before they run out. In addition, check what days different produce are available. For instance, egg bread may only be available on Wednesday. They have a weekly schedule. You can find some, but not all of their produce in Cambridge Farms across the street. If what you want is not available in Sam's Kosher Bakery just go across the street. read more

Great challah! And they had so many choices. Happy and Helpful Service and the Hamentashen are perfecto. I will definitely be going back! Thanks. read more

Workers without a mask!!! No gloves!!! And terrible service!! The only good thing is the bread But the workers are not hygienic!!! read more

Outstanding bakery and delivery. Always a hit with everyone. Especially the poppy seed hamentashen. Challah are consistently delicious. We've loved the baked goods for years. Strictly kosher pareve read more

Sam's is the best! This is our go-to bakery for all holiday goods (sufganiyot, homentaschen, etc.). Originally we started going because it is parve and NUT-FREE which was very important to our family (our daughter has a nut allergy), but we will continue for so many reasons - fair prices, easy ordering and, most importantly, delicious products! Most recently we were completely blown away by a birthday cake they made for our daughter's birthday party. (See attached). It was an incredible design and delicious cake. It absolutely made our daughter's birthday!! Thank you Sam's (and Uvi!!) read more

Sam's Kosher Bakery & Doughnuts - a birthday cake - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

There's something special about these donuts!!! When a box of Kosher donuts presents itself to you, you don't refuse. The donut was stuffed with raspberry filling and blanketed with white sugar powder. Sounds like a typical donut... But they are not. The texture, fluff, and tenderness of their dough had my palette wow'ing at every bite. Good stuff!!! Thus far my favorite donut in SoCal. read more

Went to Jim's market in Woodland Hills & I decided to try Pull apart cinnamon rolls. Yummy . We liked it so much & drove to bakery to buy, but they make Wednesday & Thursday's & deliver to the markets. I would love to try all the goodies read more

sofganiot are disgusting teste like rubber too expensive need better costumer service

Searched the area for a quick breakfast bite. It's 8am and this business seemed to fit what I wanted. Adding doughnuts to the business name leads one to believe there is a selection of them to grab for a quick bite. Wrong! We walked in at 8am and the place only had cookies at the counter. Everything else were loaves of bread. The entrance does not look anything like the donut shops/bakeries I've gone to. There was nobody at the counter to help us. The bakers in the back saw us and said nothing. We stood there for a while and just walked out empty handed and hungry. read more

I have been coming here since I was little, they have some of the best kosher pastries around! If you live in the valley and you like fresh baked goodness go no further. read more

Sam's Kosher Bakery & Doughnuts - Jelly filled donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I called to place a large order for Hanukkah Doughnuts and it was fulfilled within an hour. In other places, I'll have to call a day in advance. Great service, a tasty product. Will order again. read more

Been coming here for YEARS! Everything about this place screams EAT ME! As a non-jew, I wait for that one time a year where the Jewish people have their holiday called, "Hannuka" so that Sams Kosher Bakery can make their delicious jelly doughnuts. They make their dough unlike any other doughnut shop I've ever been too. I guess it's the magic of Hannuka! Either way, I hate having to wait for that one holiday a year, but then again, patience is bitter, but it's Jelly Doughnuts are sweet! :) Highly recommend everything about this place! read more

This review is for the Sam's Kosher Bakery on Burbank and Whitsett, the address on yelp is right but the pic of the map is way off so I just want to clarify before I begin. I haven't been to this place in a while and I'm guessing they finally got their act together. I know they got shut down from the health department for some time, you'd walk by and there would be a "D" grade on the window, and aren't kosher places supposed to be super clean and organized?? I guess not. Frankly I wasn't surprised either because on several occasions they've handled and packaged my food with out wearing gloves or using tongs. They would just grab it with their bare hand and then handle cash payments and go back to handling food (a big health code no-no, did you know that 90% of all U.S. currency contains fecal matter? gross huh?) Anyhow, their baked goods aren't that great most of them are pretty dry and bland, and with 2 kosher bakeries across the street from them, and a grocery store that sells kosher baked goods I have no clue how these guys stay in business. In my opinion: EWWWWWwwww... you have to be really disgusting to get a "D" grade from the health department, I don't care if you've fixed the problems, that ish is nasty! read more

Great place for fresh cakes and cookies. The cake is always fresh and looks like home baled. Highly recommended for an evening bites with tea. read more

Delicious chocolate coffee cake! We live in Orange County, but my wife was in Los Angeles this week and picked up a kosher chocolate coffee cake from Sam's. The ingredient list was simple and natural. And the taste was sweet, chocolately and indulgent. I can't wait to go back and try their other, kosher baked goods. read more

I am not Jewish by all means, but I can taste the difference between excellent pastries and aah ok ones. Just because it is Kosher does not mean it can't taste better. I have been to many Jewish establishments and they made me fall in love with the culture. But this one is aaah just ok and nothing to brag about. Do not buy the doughnuts, they suck for sure. The other deserts are better. For the Challah bread, check the others for reference. read more

This place is filthy. I was there in March to see what pastries they had for a function (I did not want to go because of a previous experience) and it was so dirty in the front I thought they had stopped selling retail. One time I went in many years ago, and there were large challas wrapped up for a school and a dead cockroach was in the wrapper! read more

My family has been going to Sam's Bakery forever. We absolutely love the fresh bread, and it's perfect for kosher and non-kosher carboholics alike. You may want to go earlier in the week, as it can get really busy before Shabbat (unless that's your prime bread time). read more

If this place wasn't so far I would be coming here frequently for the Jerusalem Bagels. OMG it was sooooo good! I ate one before i got home. I also got some of their chocolate chip cookies and i loved them. the chocolate chips were used sparingly,(the way I love,) and they had a nice crispness. 3 days later they still taste fresh. I enjoy that all their breads ingredients are listed and they are natural, no preservatives and science. To top it all off they had a very kind man, attending in the front who took the time to answer some question. For those who it matters to, it is a Kosher bakery. read more

I was looking to buy over two dozen black and white cookies at a decent price a few months ago. Most bakeries wanted about $2.50 a cookie. I spoke with the owner here who was very friendly and worked with the price by offering a smaller size which is exactly what I wanted. I was being a pain in the rear with making decisions but he remained helpful the whole time. I was very satisfied with the whole process and he even added an extra cookie :) read more

*** Kosher *** Good Kosher bakery, wonderful Challah! Parking lot can be busy -especially later on Fridays. read more

Quick fast super nice and helpful! I ordered and they delivered last second to me. Best tasting deserts and best service.

the very best bakery in the valley . the owner is the most generous person and kind may gd give him strength and prosperity amen

Sam's bakery has some great products and then some of them are OK. First off their products are consistently fresh. They have the best Challah and hot dog and hamburger buns around! Their buns are much better then any large company store bought buns and they are as far as I know preservative free (which does mean they won't taste good three weeks after you buy them unless you put them in the freezer for that time, but hey I think that is how food is supposed to be). They also have the most deliciously authentic Jewish Chanuka jelly donuts (sufganyot), I always order from here, they have lots of delicious jelly inside and they are not too sweet and somewhat bready soft. On the downside most of they products are very white breadish, personally I would like some more whole wheat and more gourmet bread options. It looks like they are improving in this are and I have ordered they multigrain dinner rolls which were really good, I wasn't so happy with their whole wheat bread. I would love to see them come out with some sour dough type bread, or ciappetta's. I would also love to see their health ratings return to an A (currently it is a B). In the last couple of years they have transitioned to service as more of a wholesale bakery, which means you can get great prices if you order from them directly, but you do have to order in advance, I have also seen a lot of their products being sold across the street at Cambridge Farms. read more
