Terrible. I ordered a croissant egg and cheese sandwich and it was sloppily made. Also they said the cheese was cheddar but it's actually the cheese substitute that you find at the grocery store made by Kraft...not real cheese. The pastries looked old and appetizing. The guy was a little condescending when I asked him about ingredients. I was hungry and drove for 30 minutes to get here. read more

Great local spot right in the middle of old town. I had the cinnamon roll, curry enpanada, plantain enoanada, chocolate croissant, and cranberry oatmeal cookie. All were delicious. Got there at 9am and the chocolate croissant was warm from the oven! read more

I was walking through downtown Upland and looking for a snack when I found this little cafe. The service was great, it was my first time here and he was so patient with me while I was looking over the options. I decided on a Japanese curry empanada and WOW!! It was so yummy and flavorful , I'll definitely be back. Also got a snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookie and they hit the spot too! read more

Love this place! The owners are supper friendly and they have a wide selection of food and pastry's

It's been a while since the last time I have been here and let me tell you the owners are the sweetest people you will ever meet! I got the breakfast special which was a bagel sandwich with sausage and fresh potatoes on the side. Super delicious! Definitely recommend trying and supporting your local bakery! read more

We were in downtown Upland shopping, and saw this very nice Local Bakery shop. We went inside and we greeted with friendly service. First time in the bakery and wanted to order a custom Birthday cake. The gentleman working with us, which is the owner, explained everything to us and helped us easily with the order. He was kind enough to let us try a delicious pastry while waiting. We got a personalized text message and photo of the update with the Baker. She was very detailed about what we wanted to perfection. We decided to go with the Carrot cake and cream filling, and let me tell you, it was the best carrot cake ever! When we picked up the cake, and saw the way it came out, I was so impressed by the detail. They gave my son, who is 5 years old, a cookie. Such great service! We found our new family baker! read more

The Local Baker & Cafe - Our custom Birthday Carrot cake on Thanksgiving holiday! Soo good! - Bakeries Near Me - Upland, California

PROS: I was LUCKY to have found this place because I could not find any cakes in the Ontario area. Everyone and everything was already booked. The owner made me a yummy vanilla cake with fresh strawberry mousse and strawberries. It was high with 3-4 layers! It was perfect! It also had less sugar which is what I wanted. The services were great. She helped us get the cake on my lap so it does not fall. She gave great directions. Very sweet woman! Thank you for a great graduation! CONS: Nothing! read more

I've been buying their amazingly chewy cookies since 2014. Forget crumble cookies and the cookie plug, the real plug is right here!!!! I've tried many flavors, but my favorite is the cookie with fresh cranberries. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite to eat and went with a tuna on a croissant. It's clear the person working cares about his food because he spoke about it with such passion. And I can see why!! Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be back. read more

Great food, great service, much respect to The Local Baker.try their pastries or baked goods.

We've been happy patrons for years so this review really is long overdue. The owners, Luis and Amy, are the nicest people. I recommend you just try everything... lol... because there is no pastry, cake / cupcake, or sandwich that I didn't love. My sons love the spaghetti, and for the price - the portion and bread it's served with, it's a steal. We usually order breakfast so the bacon wrap or the chicken salad sandwich on croissant with potato side is my go-to. So good! read more

This place is sooooo good! Especially their pastries! Everything I tried was just so delicious that I ended up buying a box for the office. One of them looked like a cheese roll from Porto's but it's actually a pastry with plantains in it! I was skeptical at first but when I first bit into it, it was definitely orgasmic haha then I tried their cheese and guava pastry and I don't like guava but that was super good too! Their empanadas were out of this world. I don't know what to say. They give Porto's a run for their money but I love but bakeries. This is definitely a keeper on my my bakery hit list! read more

I'm so happy to have found a local bakery with such friendly and excellent service. The cake was so good we had people left and right asking for where we have gotten it. Even the little ones couldn't wait and had to sneak in a bite of that icing. read more

The Local Baker & Cafe - Thank you for making our vision come true. (P.S. the cake was so good we had a few sneaky fingers in the icing.) - Bakeries Near Me - Upland, California

This bakery is seriously committed to producing the most amazing fresh baked goods. We picked up a generously sized cinnamon roll, that melted in my mouth. It's a beautiful balance of sweet and flavorful (maybe just the perfect amount of salt achieved this). I sampled a few other yummies and everything was a hit! The pecan bar is so good, and the guava desserts are fantastic!!! They also make a turnover with bananas, yummy! Their cream puffs and eclairs are light and delicious too. They can customize cakes with the most amazing skill, and the flavors are spot on. There is a savory food menu as well, such as spaghetti, salads, and more. They cater to large events as well. I can only expect the best from them because they care so much about what they present and that makes a huge difference in quality! read more

Louis is the friendliest local baker and Josie makes awesome breakfast croissant sandwiches. Thank you!

My family and I had stopped by The Local Baker many times in the past. We normally just grab some deserts and head out. However, we recently ordered catering items from The Local Baker for our wedding and were so amazed with the items quality and fair prices. We ordered lemon squares and cookies, which were a big hit with our guests! The staff was also very flexible and communicative with pick up times. We'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for desert catering! read more

Nice and quiet. The guy working the front end was just so nice and brought out my order quickly. It looked very empty and I hope they get all the business they so very much deserve. The pastries were very tasty and very affordable in my book! Will definitely be giving them my business again! read more

This is by far the best local coffee in Socal . Ok ok ok I'm not exaggerating. But it is true , if you don't believe it, come and try any of the delicious pastries, everything is delicious here read more

Their pastries and food are so good!! And the owner is a sweet heart! I order pastries for San Antonio Hospital staff and they love them.

We should be supporting local businesses like this one. They have been around for so long since 1895. We ordered the breakfast wrap with bacon. Its my first time to get real potato chips instead of hashbrowns in my wrap slash burrito. Its the right amount of egg, bacon and cheese with some potato crisps. Also bought puff pastries which are so tasty. Maybe they can have ube flavor too! #plantain empanadas #guava empanadas read more

Really love supporting small local businesses. Encourage you to do the same. Not only was my breakfast burrito made with fresh real eggs, along with everything inside of it, it was so good & filling. Let me tell you about the service, Luis was phenomenal. His service was one of a kind. Thank you so much for making us feel welcomed. Even though we got our order to go, it was great to have our business appreciated. read more

Amy and Lewis are such welcoming kind people it was like eating at your titas house. Definitely coming back again for the empanadas. The owners are such beautiful people they clearly put alot of love into their business. read more

We ordered a cake for our baby shower, (marble cake with both mocha and chocolate filling, with a bee theme) and it was a big hit. With my picky family, that's saying a lot . Even I'm not the biggest fan of cakes, but I ate three slices. They were very helpful in coming up with a design that fit our wants. Very kind and willing to accommodate our ever changing minds. Their cookies were amazing, as well as their platano and Japanese curry empanadas. These are must haves for every visit. I don't even have to look anywhere else for my child's future birthday cakes and baked goods. Highly recommend you coming here for all your baked fixings and cravings. read more

Josie makes killer croissant breakfast sandwich with avocado. Yum and Louis the owner is super friendly

What a nice little bakery and cafe!! I came by here because I had business to take care of in Ontario and I live very far away. I was sad I had to drive so far for something that would only take 3 min, so I decided to treat myself to somewhere nearby. I found this place from a quick search on Yelp and thought why not! The person who helped me was so very nice. He told me what he recommended for the day, and so I decided to try the Japanese curry empanada. It was sooo good! (I do have a bias for Japanese curry though mind you.) He heated it up for me and it was so flaky and delicious. I wish I lived closer so I can buy it for my friends and family for gatherings. I have no photos for the things I got because I gobbled it up immediately lol. I also got the oatmeal cranberry cookie and it's actually really good! I highly recommend trying them out if you love pastries and cookies. I would love to come again if I was ever in the area. Parking isn't so bad on Sunday morning and I was able to park right in front of the cafe. :) So glad to support a small local bakery and it was so delicious it made my day! read more

The few times we have been here have been par. We always get there when they are restocking the muffins and treats etc and they are always hard for some reason. The fruit treat was ok. The sandwiches are ok sized and taste of. So overall this place is just ok. read more

Found the most friendliest local bakery ever. This bakery has been located in downtown upland since 1895. The workers at are so friendly and kind. The worker wanted us to eat first before paying and he brought out the food for us. We ordered a Special Croissant Sandwich Breakfast & Ham/egg/cheddar breakfast sandwich. They were both paired with fresh crispy potatoes. I noticed that they sell individual slices of cake. I was very tempted to buy a slices but it was barely 9am... I'll probably stop by next time & get a slice of carrot cake. I would recommend anyone hangout in upland to visit & support your local bakery/cafe. read more
