Bear Claw. Yes!!
Nick A.

I am a donut expert and aficionado. As soon as a donut is in my hand, I have a good idea if it's gonna' be good and if it's worth the calories. What you wanna' look for in a donut or any other donut like variation, such as an apple fritter, bear claw, fried cinnamon roll, etc, is the weight. If if feels heavy, that's generally not good, because it's too oily. The next thing you do is take just one bite and and keep it in your mouth for a bit before swallowing it to get a taste of the oil. If it's oily or stale, you are not getting your calorie/enjoyment ratio which equals to, not worth the calories. I can assure you, the donut creations here are worth the calories and there's no oily taste to be found! I had a bear claw, and it was packed to the gills with apple filling. Holy smokes, was it ever good! My friend had a breakfast sandwich that I had a hard time not stealing from her. It was awesome! They also have an espresso bar and plenty of other things to drink. The prices are on par with any donut shop, which was surprising, because this place is more premium. Parking is plentiful and free, and the staff is awesome! I'm writing this review in October 2025, and it's a soft opening. So far so good!

The lax burrito
Jason K.

A great looking assortment of bagels, donuts, croissants, other baked goods, and breakfast items. Got the LAX burrito and was pretty satisfied with it. Not the most tasty or amazing burrito I've ever had, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. $14 seems like a reasonable price. Service inside was friendly and expedient. Lines can back up to the outside during peak times on weekends. Definitely worth a visit.

Guava Glazed Donut
Peter L.

This Guava Glazed Donut was really dam good. The guava was not to sugary it was perfect. Definitely made in house. If you love glaze donuts please give this a try. The workers were attentive and helpful with any questions I had.

I discovered this place by accident while I was out on a walk and decided to stop in for a coffee. I'm so glad I did. Everyone working there was incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. It instantly felt like one of those neighborhood spots where people genuinely care about their customers. The coffee was excellent, smooth, fresh, and exactly what I needed on my walk. On top of that, the manager, Juan, went out of his way to show genuine hospitality, which truly made my day. Great coffee, great donuts, and even better customer service. I'll definitely be stopping by again and highly recommend checking this place out if you're nearby!

Perfect place for a rainy day! They have a little bit of everything for everyone. Donuts, bagels and burritos. Definitely going back to try a burritos!

Menu

A great new addition to town. This coffee shop offers a wide selection of donuts, bagels, and coffees, so there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with some indoor and outdoor seating available. I tried their croissant, and it was absolutely amazing--perfectly buttery with just the right flaky texture. Friendly service and fresh offerings make this place well worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

Donuts
Tami A.

Great service. They recommended the apple fritter. My husband said it was one of the best he's had and he's had a few! Pumpkin muffin was delicious. Can't wait to try the rest of the donuts tomorrow morning. Will update the review once we do.

The glossiest frosting ever seen! Apple fritter, maple long John, chocolate old fashioned, Nutella and strawberry stuffed deliciousness!
Lori T.

The most charming bakery just opened a few months ago, with the glossiest frosted donuts I've ever had! Great coffee choices with many syrups to try, and can't wait to try the breakfast burritos! Definitely worth a visit.

Super yummy donuts

Amazing food and staff is super friendly. I got the chai latte and the departure. Definitely recommend. Second time here and it won't be my last.

Picked up 4 dozens Dodgers-themed donuts to celebrate the World Series Champs!  The croissants and vanilla latte are yummy too!
Grace K.

Great place with easy parking... and open early, perfect for picking up for school stuff! Bonus: Excited to know they're having "buy six, get 6" deal right now

Lido Bakery - This heart shaped vintage style cake was a huge hit!

Lido Bakery

By far the best bakery in the south bay; one of the best in all of LA county! The most delicious…read moreeclairs I have ever had anywhere - just absolutely perfect. I also adore their rugelach! Chocolate and raspberry. Every single cake is so good - my favorite is the Nutella; also love the choco-strawberry, dark choco mousse, and coconut. Eons better than Sweet Lady Jane, susiecakes, Beckers, Torrance, etc. This place is small so I would go early or order ahead if you have specific needs or numbers of items. The owner, Carlos, is super nice and accommodating. Sometimes I cry on Monday when they're not open.

For those of you who are missing the "old" Sweet Lady Jane, we have found a splendid workaround…read more Like so many other cake lovers, we were deeply saddened when SLJ closed their doors. And then we were elated when it was revealed that they would be reopening under new ownership. But sadly, it just hasn't been the same. This was much more of a catastrophe to my wife who has been deeply in love with the Mixed Berry Cake at SLJ for many years. Enter Lido Bakery. Recently, we were driving down Rosecrans towards El Segundo looking for a bakery where we could get a nice slice of cake, when I remembered Lido Bakery. But as luck would have it, our timing was off. It was after 5:00 (or almost) and we knew we couldn't make it on time. This is how we ended up at Erewhon (please see my previous review). This was especially disappointing to my wife as, once reminded about Lido, she remembered that the baker there had originally come from SLJ. So today, we were much more on top of things. And even though we were not in time to get one of the famous cinnamon rolls, we did arrive in time to secure a slice of the desired Mixed Berry Cake. In fact, the baker even insisted on cutting the slice from an undecorated one that he had just finished icing. And it was extraordinary! The berries were so fresh and the flavor and texture of the cake was flawless. Just like my wife's favorite (sans the decorations). There are no tables and chairs at Lido Bakery. Not fancy really, clean but not fancy. This is a place where you come to buy something and carry it out. The USPS Mail Carrier came in while we were there. Picked up a few cookies and was gone in a flash. He was so happy! The selection of cakes in the front case was very impressive but I selected an eclair that looked like a work of (edible) art. It was an excellent choice. Now I have to figure out when I can get back to get a cinnamon roll. It might be a little out of the way but if you are looking for an exceptional bakery, look no further than Lido. You won't be disappointed.
