Phoenix Bakery — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Any time I find myself driving by Chinatown, I stop by a bakery to grab some goodies that I grew up enjoying. Today I stopped by one of my favorites and they didn't have much. Things are still a little out of order a few weeks removed from the Corona virus Pandemic.

Leaving empty handed I felt defeated and disappointed. I quickly scanned the area and saw Phoenix Bakery. I remember going to this bakery as a kid so I thought I would give it a try. There was a small line outside, so I quickly took my place and patiently waited.

About 5 minutes layer I entered and ordered my favorite Strawberry cake. I paid and left quickly and took my prize home. I walked in and my wife's eyes eagerly looked directly at my cake and she sprung out if her chair as if the devil poked her behind with his pitchfork.

Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed the cake that instantly brought me back to a time in my life when things were a lot easier. My wife was very happy with my offerings and I got a nice pat on my head.

As the old saying goes, Happy...

Strawberry whipped cream cake with almonds / 5 🌟! Tiramisu cake - 5 🌟!

Phoenix Bakery is an LA iconic bakery. They have been in business since 1938! And I just tried them for the first time even though I've been LA for 23 years. I have no excuse. I'm a dummy. These guys are awesome!!

They are known for the strawberry whipped cream cake, so I had to sample that one. It was amazing. I love sweets and I love cakes that have good icing and fillings. This cake has both. You can tell right away why they've been popular in LA for a long time. With cakes this good, there is no need to change things up.

As much as I enjoyed the strawberry cake slice, I think I liked the Tiramisu slice even more. It had a lot of filling and icing, and when you add in the sweet condensed milk that makes tiramisu its thing, it gets even better.

The bakery is on the outskirts of Chinatown. Parking is tricky, but patience pays off. If you are looking for a bakery that has served generations of LA sweet fans,...

I have always bought my cakes here, i have ordered them all with time and this location has always had 2 lines for pickup. Well today they made me stand in line when all im doing is picking up my cake that is fully paid for since they wont make it without full payment. Its been 38 min and i have to be at my event with the cake at 2 which i would have made it to if i would have just picked it up and left. Im not looking to buy anything else so why should i wait in line. I wont be back to buy cakes or anything else from here. I fully support small businesses but when small business dont value customers the way they are supposed to then they loses customers. I couldnt give half a star or i would have. The older lady that was in charge thats always said there are 2 lines is the same one that made me wait because she said they were busy. Its always busy but i still...
