Cake Garden Bakery, sandwiches, pizza, wings & drinks — Restaurant in Lawndale

This a new place and much needed in the area. There’s a variety of Indian and American pastries (I.e red velvet, chocolate chip cookies, donuts, rasamali, gulab jamun). There’s also freshly made southern Indian snacks (egg puff, veggie puff, chicken puff) and delicious chai tea.

There’s inside seating with a good ambience. The sandwiches,bagels, and croissants range in variety and flavor and prices from 7.99-9.99 with an option to make it a combo (an addition to 3 dollars). The staff make the bread daily and your order is made in real time with fresh ingredients. Also they have banana bread and pistachio and almond cookies.

Let’s not talk about the cakes! Delicious and variety all...

Tasty Indian style savory pastries. The egg puff (which had eggplant and a mildly spicy curry base) was awesome. Also had the mixed veg puff which was a little blander, but overall both were great. It’s not far from me and will return to try some of the other Indian influenced sandwiches too (April 2025)

Update (Sept 2025): I went there again a month ago, and ordered the "Chaat" (Indian street food) -- it was an awesome large snack/solo meal. Slightly spicy, tangy, definitely not generic. If I ever return, this is what I would get. Alot of their more Indian street food things they do not have on their online menu -- I do not know why, but if you are a foodie, please...

I stopped by around 9:00 a.m. on my way to go surfing and ordered a salad croissant, a turkey croissant, and a chocolate cake. All the croissants were amazing — not like the ones you find at regular donut shops, but more like café-quality, with generous portions and great flavor. The chocolate cake had just the right amount of sweetness — not too heavy, so I finished it right away! I’m even thinking of ordering it for my next birthday cake. The service was great, and I’m really glad I found this place. It might not be easy to spot and still seems a bit under the radar, but it’s definitely a hidden gem I’d recommend...
