We had to give this Long Beach landmark a play since we were in town and it did not disappoint. We thoroughly enjoyed all the baked goods We purchased. The staff was pleasant, friendly, and professional. There is a small seating area if you choose to dine in, however, we did take out.

When I see cash only, I have high expectations. This place exceeded my wildest bakery dreams. Just when I thought I had my mind made up with the delectable dessert another caught my eye. Definitely the best American style dessert place I have been in a long time.

Let me first say the cinnamon rolls are the best and a special treat. I stopped by today specifically for a piece of cake for my birthday. We chose the yellow cake with chocolate icing. The cake in the case had yellow sprinkles on top. When we got home, our pieces had orange sprinkles on top. Appears we were given two old slices which had been boxed and set aside. The cake was course like cornbread and dry, yet soaked with an ultra sweet syrup that had puddled in the bottom of the containers. The frosting also ultra sweet was thin and tasteless except for what I assume was corn syrup. Better frosting out of a can at the grocery store. Bad cake is one thing, but a bait and switch is something else. This was an old cake sold to be the fresh cake from the case. Have a cinnamon roll - 6 stars. I went in the following morning with our uneaten cakes and they weee good enough to exchange them for another slice. I got German Chocolate. Soooo much better. Cinnamon rolls still your best bet. I think the baker was offended, but I know old cake at sight. I baked cakes professionally for several years. The baker said they didn’t use simple syrup to moisten their cakes. That means the liquid in the container was weeping from frosting placed on a cake that has not completely cooled or the grease in the icing was breaking down from being in the heat of the bakery, setting for several days, or both.

My to go for coffee cake and snickerdoodle cookie. This place has been in SB community for ages and been here for decades. It’s small shop with plenty of sweet goods and coffees. There is not much of seating inside but there are benches outside. The smell of baked goods upon walking in just want to get all of the goodies. Service is very friendly and helpful. Not much of decor since all here fill with baked goods. Definitely come back for more soon.
