🇺🇸 LA South Bay | Dessert & Bakery Guide 🍰🥐

Quick roundup of my favorite sweet spots around Torrance & Redondo Beach: 📍 Little French Bakery 1820 S Catalina Ave, Redondo Beach, CA 90277 Family-run, tiny bakery — no indoor seating, but they set up tables outside on nice days. ✨ Must-try: Almond Croissant — best almond filling I’ve ever had! Often sells out early on weekends. 🍄 Also love the Wild Mushroom Puff Pastry (they’ll heat up savory items upon request). The owners love creating new flavors — have tried passionfruit & mango croissants — both amazing! 📱 Check their Insta for latest creations. ☕ Coffee Pairings: Try Hi-Fi Espresso for French Toast Coffee or Pretty In Pink latte, or Offset Coffee for Dirty Horchata & Lavender Latte. 📍 Sweet Wheat 1430 S Pacific Coast Hwy, Redondo Beach, CA 90277 🥧 Love their Vegetable Quiche (tomatoes, olives, onion, bell pepper, eggs, chives). 🍓 Mixed Berry Tart is stellar — fresh fruit, not too sweet. You can pre-order a 6-8 person size 24 hours ahead. 📍 Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee 2549-B Rolling Hills Plaza, Pacific Coast Hwy, Torrance, CA 90505 🍩 Staff is super friendly — they sometimes offer samples! ✨ Lemon Pound Cake Donut — less sweet than you’d think, amazing when fresh and warm. 🎂 Celebration Cake Donut is also great. They often have seasonal specials! 📍 Pâtisserie Chantilly 2383 Lomita Blvd UNIT 104, Lomita, CA 90717 ✨ Black Sesame Choux (Choux aux Sesames) is a must. 🎂 They offer holiday/seasonal cakes — call ahead to pre-order. #DessertLife #FoodieFinds #LosAngeles #TorranceEats #LALife #LACheckIn #LADesserts
