Mayer’s Bakery

They have really good sandwiches. Especially their breakfast burrito! Trying the burrito is a must, especially with the salsa. Pastries and Danishes are good as well!

Bad service doesn’t deserve even half star! What kind of company advertise their company so desperately putting a million stickers of their ugly company stickers all over my custom ordered cookies. Expensive cookies and they are very sneaky and desperate to advertise their company for FREE! Also didn’t get the correct color on my cookie. They should always ask for permission if it is ok for them to advertise their company for free on my custom ordered cookies! Personally, I feel my custom cookies looks very ugly with their ugly company logo advertisements on the back. Will not order again or recommend to friends or family. Spender over one hour removing stickers! Worse experience ever.

I’ve read other reviews and I don’t understand how these girls still have a job. I went in to try something different and immediately knew what I wanted. Waited around to see who of the three girls that we’re doing nothing, were going to help me. Since none asked after 8 or so minutes. I asked can I order. I obviously chose the wrong one of the 3 Katelyn or Kailyn something like that. Horrible horrible customer service. Asked if I could have yellow mustard instead of Dijon. She replied no substitution. What??? But dumb me went ahead and ordered. I asked if I can have pickles NOPE. This little chick had attitude. Oh boy. No smile. No No I’m sorry straight no’s and looks like I was taking to long. I don’t know why I didn’t go to subway next door. But I waited for my sandwich 8.99 and no pickle sandwich! I was so disappointed the bread was burnt like if they never clean their panini machine. The pastrami was cold. The cheese tasted like hard fake cheese that doesn’t melt. Ate the pastrami out of it threw the rest away. But wait I wanted to prolong my suffering. So I waited for miss priss to be busy and asked the other dingbat for some cookies. I asked for these beautiful cookies chocolate with have white.chocolate. she put them in a bag behind the counter, you can’t see her actually putting it in the bag. But anyways, got home still a little hungry open my bag and had 2 chocolate covered toffee thingies. I’m such an idiot because of course I tried them and they we’re disgusting and tasted old and stale. Ughhhh. Never. Ever Again!

This is an addendum to my last review, in requesting a partial refund for the beautiful but stale cake I purchased at Mayer’s. I asked for a partial credit to be fair — because it did serve the purpose of us singing around a birthday cake — but not as an edible snack. I was told to bring back the cake. But it had been divided up — and I left the uncut portion in the common dining area at work — and figured it was gone. At the end of the day I went out there — and there was the cake, which is highly unusual. Usually food left in the common area is gone in minutes. My husband brought the cake back the following morning, but the owner or manager refused any refund. I think we need a Portofinos or 85C Bakery on the hill.

Always follow your first instinct when purchasing anything! I ordered a cake here purely because of convenience. What a mistake! Do not purchase anything from here! Owners have changed, rent is possibly high and they are now using the cheapest ingredients. Avoid anything with almond flavor! Also their pastries taste as if they were baked in a lab! The flavors have an intense chemical taste. My kids who will die for anything sweet, they don’t even like this place!

Worst experience in any bakery in my life. Not only do they not care about you as a customer, they lie and try to milk more money out of you.
If you make an order for cookies, make sure they put every single detail in writing. If it isn’t written «decorated» then they will leave your baked goods totally plain when you pick it up. Even if you had a discussion prior to purchasing, every detail must be written or it will not be honored.
Do not let them do anything or promise anything without written proof. They will try to charge you for every little thing. No sense of customer satisfaction, and the owner is seemingly a major penny pincher. Had it been our mistake, it would have been fine. The issue is that the product and price was misrepresented, and we were still being asked to pay up or go home.
Lesson learned. Just avoid this place. Highly NOT recommended.

Probably the worst customer service in have eve had. They were very rude and did not know the details for their job. I would recommend Torrance bakery well over this place. And their cake during the tasting tasted old and stale. Not sure if it was old or if that is just how it tasted.

I walked into a time machine here, I’d not been to Mayer’s Bakery for around 20 years (something like that) — and I’m not sure much changed. They have a large variety of baked goodies, cookies, cakes, pastries, donuts, etc. They have seating if you would like to come in, get coffee and eat any of these sugary treats.
I came for the cake pops, which was a request for an 11 year old birthday. They make two flavors, chocolate and vanilla. No complaints out of our group! The service was friendly and the box was ready when I arrived. I suggest you call in advance, but they do have a lot of ‘things’ for walk in orders so there are always options if you don’t order in advance.

I impulsively stopped to get a small birthday cake (carrot) for a friend at work. I thought it was reasonably priced though the cake was a little dry. I know this bakery has been a local favorite for many years so I’d be interested in going back and trying something else (including the sandwiches they now serve). It is spacious inside and the service is good.

I stop by frequently to pick up a treat! They have a good selection of baked goods and beautifully made cakes. I love coming back again and again for their delicious sweets!

It’s pretty good but it’s not amazing it kind of tastes like plastic but it is descent

Used to be a good neighborhood bakery. Went back this morning to order 2 breakfast sandwiches. The new breakfast menu had no items without meat. The lady behind the counter said they could leave the meat off. OK, I am paying for something I am not getting but I like to support local businesses. A few moments later, the woman came back and told me they wanted to charge an extra dollar ($ 8.99) for the egg & cheese sandwich with no meat. I cancelled my order and went two doors down and got a foot-​long Subway egg & cheese for $ 5.99. I suggest you do the same.

It is obvious the pastry is not made daily. One or two day old pastries are allowed in display case by management. This is a huge no-​no in this business. Why go here if you can get fresh pastry elsewhere? Very disappointed…

This past Saturday, I received a call from one of my best friends. It was her wedding day, and she realized she forgot to pick up the (ceremonial) wedding cake. The wedding planner, and wedding party forgot, in the chaos, as well. The well known Los Angeles bakery didn’t call to remind them, nor to tell them they were closed for the 4^th of July holiday. She was standing in Gelsons, crying, with a Independence Day cake in her hands.
I told her that I knew of a local bakery, called them and they were open. They said they could, in the matter of a few hours, make a cake and have it ready to go by noon! She called, ordered and I was a hero.
The cake was beautifully simple, delicious and we all owe a debt of gratitude to the entire Mayer’s staff. You literally saved the day… that it was delicious, was just the icing on the proverbial cake!
We cannot thank you enough.

The highlight of my childhood was heading to Mayer’s for fabulous cookies and cupcakes (clearly it takes so little to make me happy). And through the years, all of my birthday cakes and even my wedding cake came from Mayer’s, and they were all fantastic.
Mayer’s is now a shadow of it’s former self. I hear that the bakery has been sold at least once in the last few years, and it shows. I visited earlier this month when I was in LA for a few days, and from the depressing ambiance to the poor quality of the baked goods… not sure what happened but the place is just terrible.
I am so sad to say that I have no plans to return to Mayer’s anymore.

Mayer’s Bakery is my childhood bakery. My family would always get cookies and cakes from Mayer’s for special occasions. It’s our family tradition to grab a piece of fruit cake from Mayer’s during the holidays.
I am home for the Thanksgiving holiday and decided to stop by for a breakfast donut. The donuts are pricey at $ 1 each and the chocolate donut I purchased was very well-​done (meaning, almost burnt). I wasn’t very impressed with it. It was the last chocolate donut in the case so I’m sure the good ones were all sold out. Regardless of the quality of the donut, I feel like the size of the donut was decent; the donut was fluffy. I’d come back for a donut another day and maybe I’ll try the cakes too. I’m sure the quality of the baked goods have changed since I was a kid so I’ll update my review at a later time.
Service is good.

I decided to come try this place because subway had a long line for lunch and I was pressed for time. The place is just like a bakery offering all sorts of goodies. They all looked delicious.
I opt for their lunch panini special and it came with a free drink! For $ 5 dollars you get a sandwich and a drink. I got the BBQ steak and it wasn’t bad at all. I wish they would give you a pickle or something though. Sandwich was very home made. Portion was great and quick. Couldn’t complain at all.

Homey bakery that’s usually staffed with pleasant high school students, especially during summer. I tried a bit of the Nutella Croissant, which was very light and had a good schmear of Nutella.
Almond Raisin Roll, topped with sliced almonds — If you’re a raisin lover, this might be for you. There were lots, around a good tight handful, of raisins inside. This roll itself was okay. Not too sweet, which I appreciated, but the raisins would make it sweeter. I liked the soft and chewy texture.
Hazelnut Tart, covered with a hardened chocolate drizzle and topped with chopped hazelnuts — This was very enjoyable, with the soft semi-​crumbly cake having a mildly sweet nutty taste. The crust was so good! Perfect crunchy complement to the cake.
The price point was still a bit high though; most of the pastries are not made fresh daily, but are still good overall. I thiink some of the cookies are baked fresh daily, though. There are more savory offerings as well, including soups, salads, sandwiches, and wraps.

Seeing as most of the reviews are for the cakes, this one is about the delicious pastries Mayer’s bakery offers.
I was walking from the grocery store to TJ Maxx and spotted this bakery out of the corner of my eyes.
Walking by I saw how good the desserts looked and popped in to have a closer look.
The girls working were super nice and answered all my questions, «whats this? mmmhhh and that? and so on.
Seeing as I wasn’t really hungry, deciding between the oversized chocolate croissants or the equally large almond topped, raspberry filled one, I went with a simple pecan pastry instead,$ 3.
Very good, fresh, soft, not too sweet, made me wish I had bought more.
The store reminds me of a german bakery, kind of dark, very simple, no décor or frills, just simple but perfectly baked goods, sometimes it’s nice to not fall for the hype of crazy names or colors and enjoy some simple baked goodness and that is exactly what Mayer’s delivers, I’ll be back for more when I’m in the area again!

Damnit. I’m telling you, my customer just wants me to be a fatty! She surprised my coworkers and I with a HUGE box of freakin’ ginormous cookies. One cookie is literally bigger than my face.
She bought 18 cookies, and it was season decorated! Leaf cookies with the colors of fall, and just giant m&m chocolate cookies… mm.
The cookies itself were decent. Nothing amazing, but they are enjoyable. One cookie will definitely make you super full.
My favorite was definitely the m&m one, super chocolatey! :D
