Recently ordered a cake for a dinner party. Was the best cake I've ever had. (that's not hyperbole.) All attendees appeared to agree. Everyone wanted to know where it came from.

Hands down one of my top favorite bakeries in the entire LA area. The couple that own it are top shelf. Wally always has a smile on his face. I never feel rushed even if it's busy he always makes time to chat you up. Joon pumping out artfully craftedl gourmet offerings. Beautiful breads and the finest pies, it's obvious they use the best ingredients. Muffins, cookies, many are seasonal. Excellent coffee, soup and sandwiches are equally delicious.

Consistently great quality. Not cheap, but the best around town. I have been coming here for, what feels like over 20 years. Great friendly staff with sweet and savory pastries plus sandwiches. I Always great rave reviews when I bring these goodies to work meetings.

I was looking for a nearby bakery that sells sourdough bread loaves and found this place. It tastes amazing toasted with some butter/ghee. They also slice the bread for you too! I used to go to Seed Bakery that is a bit further away, but I think I found a new sourdough spot

Adorable little mom and pop bakery. All pastries made in house! I love their almond croissant. They've mastered the art of sweet but not too sweet!

I would not have discovered this hidden gem of a bakery if not for the amazing review penned by my good friend Nikki B. So thank you Nikki for introducing me to this adorable neighborhood bakery! Union Bakery is small but they have an array of pastries and breads on display. I ordered a few different baked goods and was happy with my choices overall. Like my friend Nikki mentioned, the scones here are exceptional. The scone was filled with fresh cranberries and dusted with sugar on top. It had the perfect consistency, and wasn't too dry or heavy. As good as it was though, my favorite item was the strawberry cream cheese pastry, which was absolutely scrumptious warmed up. The cookie was pretty good too, and I enjoyed the raspberry compote filling. I wasn't much of a fan of their bread pudding though, as I felt it was too eggy and soggy. Overall, I enjoyed most of the treats I purchased that day. The baked goods here are a little pricey, understandably, due to the natural and high quality ingredients they use. So I will go back, no question, but only when I'm ready to splurge since I'm incapable of walking away with just one or two pastries. Haha.

Union Bakery is a small family-owned café that was established in 2002. Wally (husband) takes care of the day-to-day operations, and Joon (wife) does all the baking. (She's a certified pastry chef.) I've had their lemon bars and cookies before at a friend's house a few years ago. I remember they were very tasty, so I decided to stop by and pick up a treat for my hairdresser on my way to my appointment. When I walked in I was greeted by the delicious smell of fresh baked goods. It was delightful. Wally was having a friendly conversation with some regulars, and Joon was bringing warm croissants straight out of the oven into the display case. I selected a Blueberry Muffin ($4) for Stephanie and a cranberry scone ($4) for myself. Stephanie loved the muffin. It was packed with fresh Blueberries. She said it was, "So good!" The scone was exceptionally good. It had the consistency of a biscuit and contained fresh cranberries and a light sugar coating on top that provided a hint of sweetness. It was delicious warmed up with some butter. I loved it! The place is small with limited seating. Everything is baked with natural ingredients, so the prices are slightly higher. Cold & hot drinks are available in addition to quiches and sandwiches, which are served on housemade bread. *Small parking area in the back or street parking.
