Los Angeles Bakery Tour | The BEST Bakeries in LA!

Hi Friends! We were in Los Angeles recently and of course I had to visit as many amazing bakeries as I could! Brian and the boys tagged along for part of the day and helped me taste test all the delicious offerings. Los Angeles might not be known for it's bakeries but the city's diversity has created a wonderful abundance of delicious options with flavors from around the globe. Let me know if there's a bakery or city I should try next!

Omg!! I used to go to Phoenix bakery when I was young. I'm 62 now. The cakes are delicious. Thank you for this video.

[@sharonromero128]

Wow! That was a super bakery tour! I really appreciate knowing these bakeries are family owned & in business for decades. They are the kind of businesses that keep America going. Oh my, what delicious looking pastries. My mouth almost instantly started watering. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe. Many blessings

[@sophiachang4695]

May I get the names of the bakery? Thx!!

[@727Lizbeth]

WELCOME TO LA! We are so lucky to have you visit❤❤❤

[@karlalara0112]

Porto’s lines are always long, but they go fairly quickly. And so worth it!

[@christophert.7635]

We absolutely love Fat+Flour. Nicole Rucker is such a talented person! Her way with baked goods is unprecedented. It's a special sort of magic. Thanks, John!! ❤

[@MattRossButtBandit]

YOU COULDN'T COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER THAN...... UNPRECEDENTED??? LA ME

[@emilywynstra]

From your adorable family to the delectable baked goodies and amazing bakery facts, I loved EVERY second of this video and hope for many more just like it! 🤗

[@Debba521]

Enjoyable video, thanks! I'm originally from Los Angeles and it was nice seeing a bit of it. Made me feel a bit nostalgic. I miss the old bakeries I knew from ages ago. My grandparents bought their Challah and bagels from the Beverlywood Bakery on Pico, which was close to where they lived. But sometimes they'd go to Brown's Bakery on Wilshire, heading towards downtown. Those bakeries made lots of other baked goods, like the yummy chocolate chip danish, sort of like giant rugelach. Both bakeries are gone now, so sad. But that's life, ever changing. Thanks for your sharing your fave bakeries!

[@JoyAloha709]

Grew up in the Beverlywood area, and we always went to the bakery there. Ah, nostalgia!

[@erikak3328]

you are such a nice human ~ i bet the kids are loved deeply and given a life of wonder adventure and heartful love and kindness~ thank you for sharing your beautiful family and self ~

[@gabrielncali8999]

John, so happy to see you, Brian, and the boys out! I love these videos! I loved the Paris bakery tour! Thank you! 😋❤️

[@abramm.4861]

La mascota Bakery has been a tradition for my family to go every Thanksgiving to get their delicious tamales and wonderful Bakery choices they have. Thanks for showing us all the Bakeries in LA.

[@shirleycarrillo23]

Yay! I'm so happy that you made it to Los Angeles and checked out our bakeries. It was awesome to see Porto's Bakery featured. I go there often and I love the Neopolitan!

[@spreest9537]

I love the bakery tour videos! Love seeing what they have to offer, it inspires me!

[@thelosangeleschannel]

We love to see the great bakeries in LA being represented!❤

[@PreppyKitchen]

Soooo many good ones!

[@peppermintpsaki1157]

You missed “high pie”, made at the same house used in the original Top Gun. And no visit to Porto’s is complete without their guava cheese danish 🤤

[@cassius3745]

Isn't High Pie in San Diego area?

[@slc2466]

Glad to see Porto's represented- it's a go-to whenever anyone visits. I'll have to try out something else on your list, though.

[@doriskenner5411]

Thank you for taking me on your tour of the delicious bakeries in LA. It was nice to know where you grew up and to get to know about your mother and the Mexican bakery that she liked. And nice to see your family again.

[@ThomasGeist]

This was so nice! Loved to see Brian and the boys! And kudos for touring Los Angeles! We have seen sooo many New York tours, it’s time for something different.

[@babyaries3076]

I love these family videos! i wish build a family as loving as yours, sending lots of love!!

[@our2kidsMR]

Awww! Your kids are ADORABLE!! I live in LA and you visited places I had never heard of! Thank you! Come back!!

[@cristinweekley2547]

Absolutely just love your travels to different bakeries!🥰🥰😋😋

[@GUIGU32]

Awwwww. Thank you for featuring local bakeries on your channel. Adorable

[@sheilaMagilicudy]

Wonderful video. This was such a nice change and seeing the family made it even better. As Julia Child said.... " A party without cake is just a meeting" Love that.

[@personareference3825]

My mom and I go to Porto’s every other week for breakfast. We always get the guacamole croissant breakfast sandwich and a pastry to share. It’s heavenly and in the morning on a weekday there are hardly any lines.

[@learn_more_3329]

Doesn’t matter which Porto’s you visit, they’re always busy. But I read somewhere, at the end of the day. All their left over pastries get boxed and shipped to the many shelters in LA county. Thank you for showing that bakery from Chinatown. As a kid, I loved that strawberry cake but we never knew where it came from. And here you are showing the video!! Love you guys!!! 💕

[@Emily-hd9sm]

My friend from LA always brings Porto's pastries when she visits! So cool to see it in your video!

[@LadylvGod]

What precious little sons Gregg! Thank you for sharing with all of us, now we know where to go in the area

[@tedsteiner]

Hey hey! Good to see you in my home city, hope you enjoyed your stay despite the crazy congestion :)

[@PreppyKitchen]

I'm actually from los Angeles! Traffic never gets better 🤪

[@L17_8]

God sent His son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. This was the ultimate expression of God's love for us. Then God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. Please repent and turn to Jesus and receive Salvation now before it is too late. The end times written about in the Holy Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus loves you with all His heart ❤️ but time is almost up.

​@@L17_8 It's so nice to see somebody who is saying these things; keep it up, my friend! May God bless you and your family.

[@SNW8191]

This reminds me of those food travel shows that used to be on tv before everything became reality tv. I love this. You went to all my old haunts, although I haven't been to the bakeries I used live in LA and it was good seeing the areas I used to hang in.

[@rp8889]

Being a resident of L.A., I thought this was so much fun. Thanks for featuring these businesses. Yes, the line at Porto's is usually long (I go to the one in Burbank) but it moves quickly and adds to the anticipation!

[@lachauntiswashington231]

This is great and delicious.😋 and happy to see the whole family joined

[@princessalways4eva]

Great Tour John. Thanks for sharing “family” time with us. I must have gained 20 lbs just watching. Everything looked so delicious. Tfs. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon.❤🤗

[@isas3108]

I LOVE THIS COMPILATION JOHN!!!

[@araberachi]

Omg a new series???? I plan to go to Cali in October to meet my long distance partner! I'll have to see if we can go see any of the places you tour! :>

Nice to see a change! Loved it!

[@JrakeThePerson]

Love Brian’s haircut! ❤

[@jeanlalonde629]

Standing in line at Portos just gives you time to see all that they have in the cases. That cake from Phoenix bakery was my grandmothers favorite birthday cake. We lived down the street. Great choices for your trip!

[@joshuakampamba9061]

Your kids are so amazingly Devine ❤ And yeah baked food is my favorite....i would literally eat flour foods for the rest of my life 😂

[@PreppyKitchen]

LOLOL, would be very easy for me too. That chocolate chess pie was sooo good btw.

I dream of Porto's! I used to go there every other Saturday after my toastmaster's meeting when I lived in LA ❤️

I adore your family! Would love to see more of these travelogues.

[@joshuag.4873]

Fellow native Angelino here, now living in beautiful South Carolina. I just went back home for a visit in June and HAD to go to Portos! Also got some cake and sweets from King's Hawaiian down in Torrance.

[@peacenow4456]

OMG, as a SoCall native, thx so much for sharing these hidden gem bakeries. Definitely, will go on a treasure hunt!! Yum!

[@janellek21]

Prepare to be shocked. A slice of pie at Fat & Flour costs $9.50 and a whole pie costs $56.00.

[@TheDam1776]

Such a sweet video, loved it. Next time I go to LA, I'll visit some of these. I've been to Porto so was glad to see it was on your tour too! Your boys are adorable.

Oh thanks so much Maria!!!!

Great to see you post! I've been debating whether or not to flying over to Los Angeles, thanks for this! Makes my deciding easier lol

[@carlahall173]

Great video. I’m an Angeleno and LA is a Foodie heaven! My favorite from Phoenix Bakery is the Pandan (an aromatic herb)sponge cake with young coconut filling and whipped cream. My favorite from Porto’s is the Napoleon.

[@janefreeman7157]

Thanks! When I'm out there I will check some of these places out!

[@yamiledh2177]

I'm soo glad you trying Portos! It's my favorito place here ❤

[@annabeltheduchessofdessert7700]

There is a Porto’s in Burbank as well and I love guava strudel, refugiado, potato balls and mariquitas. If you do another Los Angeles bakery tour, don’t miss Artelice Patisserie in Japantown and Burbank, and Lou the French on the Block also in Burbank, for phenomenal croissants and desserts.

[@regand7830]

I'm an LA native and thanks for this. Even Food Network doesn't feature Los Angeles based places as much. Your boys and husband are SO handsome! Come back here more often!! xo

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This was a fun bakery tour video.

[@Aceries_]

Phoenix Bakery is a mainstay for my family. My parents grew up in LA but moved inland when they had me. We still make the trip to Phoenix Bakery for their Strawberry Cream cake for birthdays and special occasions. That cream frosting is perfection. We also visit El Gallo Bakery on Cesar E Chavez for Pan de Agua, as well as The Pantry for breakfast if we arrive early enough!

[@jesslynnwarnock]

If you are ever visiting Southern California again and find yourself in the Ventura area and want to try an AMAZING little home bakers food, Ninja Bake Cookies is 10/10 amazing. I think she ships cookies as well 😁

[@patticakes974]

Loved this video!! 😍

[@valeriewickerson-august7474]

I like the commentators' ease of demeanor and voice (it is so Los Angeles and West Coast). "Laid back." Like how he left the kids by the hotel pool as he continued his "cruising." I'd buy these Desserts in bulk and age them. In a couple of years and more, uh la la!

[@gloriasanchez5001]

Phoenix Bakery is an old family favorite. My Mother always had the cake with the strawberries for her birthday, so when she passed away, we bought one in her honor. 😊

[@vizio32]

I am new to baking, I love your YT videos and recipes and now even more as you visited my hometown!!!!!

[@nancyd8031]

Most LA bakeries are always so packed! Great video!

Martinos Bakery in Burbank has been a long time staple with their tea cakes 😊😊

I live in LA, and I've eaten at a couple of the bakeries you showcased today. However, there are a few others I've never heard of, like Fat and Flour. I can't wait to try their fruit pies. I love fruit pies. 😋

[@joyamargolin5168]

Excellent tour! (Don't forget, Porto's line moves fast! They know what they"re doing!)

Just ordered your book, cannot wait to get it. Love your channel 🥰

[@glw5166]

What a great episode! I live in LA and I have only heard of Porto's (definitely the best tres leches!) and the Phoenix bakery so I look forward to checking out some new spots!

Lou the French on the block is also a MUST Try!!
