Beckers Bakery: Reviews & Ratings
I've walked by this place several times every in the morning and missed out on trying because it's not open til 8:00. Decided to be patient and get my coffee later than normal. The plan was to just get coffee but I saw this amazing pastry begging to be tried. First off, the coffee was perfect. Bug this apple fritter type pastry is one of the best I've ever had...in my life! They had croissants the size of my sneakers, cinnamon buns, cakes, and colorful cookies which were so welcoming when walking through the door! Can't wait to try more things from this place!
Have ordered from them a few times but they are known for their really bright colors and custom cookies (all of which are really good). Easy to order online and pick up. If you have any questions via email they are quick to respond.
Today, I found a box of Becker's Bakery Cookies in our lobby at work with a lovely note to enjoy the cookies. Our office is an hour away. Later in the day, I opened the box to an absolutely gorgeous display of cookies with our corporate logo perfectly captured in the icing. What an amazing surprise and a fantastic marketing campaign! I later found out a vendor had these delivered as a thank you gift. I passed the cookies around to our manufacturing managers and IT staff who stayed late in the day to get work done during quieter hours. Everyone raved about the cookies: very moist, tasty, and with just the perfect amount of sweetness -- certainly a cookie an adult would enjoy with their tea or coffee. I believe we will order cookies from Becker's Bakery for some upcoming events.
Highly recommend for their iced sugar cookies for the kids! We got there at 1pm on a Sunday & all the surf board cookies were about gone so we got their seasonal ghost cookies. If you don't want a spicy sandwich, recommend you miss their sandwiches- got the Tommy on Ciabata with no onion & no pepper relish and it was bland with not much flavor. Both of the team members that waited on us were nice with their services & friendly
Great local bakery! Everyone in MB knows Becker's. Whether you're coming for a box of cookies or getting a custom cake, Becker's is a local favorite. When you walk in you'll be greeted by friendly staff who want to get you exactly what you're looking for. On this occasion I came in looking for a last minute cake and they had exactly what I needed, just sitting there waiting for me! :D And I feel like this is always the case when I walk in there.
The sandwich and pastries were delightful, and the staff provided helpful and courteous service.
This Little gem in Manhattan is Pretty Rad. They have a wonderful selection of baked goods. My fav being their chocolate chip cookie they are massive and buttery and just delicious. They are known for their surfboard cookies and love that they have a variety of colors for the kids as well. The place is very small so there is no inside seating but there are 2 small cute tables outside with chairs to enjoy your treats and get some fresh air. I haven't tried their coffee but there is always a line so I'm sure it's good. Their customer service is great here, very helpful and always a smile on their face. If you are in the SouthBay make sure to come here grab a cup of coffee & a sweet treat as hit the beach.
My family loves Becker's! We originally tried it while visiting a family friend in MB, and now we go back all the time. The cookies are delicious, truly. Amazing sugar cookies with the cutest designs I've ever seen. The whole place is like that, with pretty coastal art and warm lighting. The employees are always friendly and the service is quick. Just make sure to come early if you want their cuter cookies, like the surf boards, because they sell out! Everytime we go to a party and need to bring a gift or food along, we get these sugar cookies. We'll be back again very soon.
We raised our kids in Manhattan Beach and came back to town recently for a visit. With so many new restaurants popping up in downtown MB, it really is nice to see one of our regular places still in business - Becker's Bakery! Our kids have great memories of Becker's - from frosting cookies during the annual holiday open house, to buying a whole bunch of surfboard cookies to share with classmates on birthdays, to simply ordering sandwiches to have on the beach. A few days ago, we decided to get some sandwiches to eat on the pier and, naturally, bought a couple of their surfboard cookies to go along with them. What a treat! Delicious! I'm grateful to the new generation of the Becker family that are keeping this gem going after all these years!
These heart cookies with the pink frosting were literally my lifeblood in the early 2000s as a young chimp running around the AMS Elementary School. I came back here for the first time in a minute this weekend, now a full grown orangutan, and can confirm these heart cookies with the pink frosting ($1.50) are still literal crack cocaine. I really don't even mess with frosting on cookies usually, but Becker's is just different. I paired an americano with my cookie, as they now have a Hi-Fi Espresso in here which I think slangs some of the best espresso around. It makes me feel like I'm in Europe idk how else to describe it. I almost bought a shirt, but I have SO many shirts already so I opted against it. However, when I was doing my due diligence for this review a sense of regret shot through my spine like it was an epidural when I saw Beckers has been around since 1942. I had NO idea that Beckers has been around since Joseph Stalin was the Time Magazine Person of the Year. Still so crazy he was Time's Person of the Year....... The business is still in the family after 3 generations (Shoutout to the OG Harry Becker for kicking it off), which really makes me want to go back and buy a shirt. I love places passed from generation to generation. No wonder these heart cookies with the pink frosting still taste exactly the same as they did when I was just a little chimp. Some free game for y'all, if you go to someone's party in Manhattan Beach and they don't have a box of Becker's cookies, they are a big fat phony..... ahaha I'm playin but actually OGs will always have a box of Beckers for a function. I should mention that they also have a deli here that people love, but I've really only ever been here for the cookies. You know why I'm here. As the money and botox continues to move into Manhattan Beach, this is one of the 5 or 6 places left keeping the soul of what I knew as a small local beach town alive. THANK YOU BECKERS NEVER SWITCH UP! I'M COMIN BACK FOR THE SHIRT! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__
