Aurora LA

That was such a great experience. My 11-year-old really wanted to go for her birthday, and we were so happy to see how pretty the inside was. The staff were super nice, and they even gave both my girls a special treat for the occasion. It was amazing, and YES♡, everything we saw online was totally true. The pastries were excellent, even though they were a bit expensive. But since it was a special occasion, it was worth it. We got the raspberry, and it was just as good as the mango and strawberry. I thought it would be too sweet, but it was actually the perfect amount of sugar – not too sweet at all, more about that crunchy and mousse satisfaction.

I got the orange, raspberry, mango, lemon, and banana. I spent around $90. Firstly, that is outrageous. We visited from another state so I thought I’d splurge since this is THE pastry shop. The staff was friendly, informative, and the shop was nice and clean. The lemon: lacked in flavor, was EXTREMELY small for almost $15. Like fit in the palm of my hand. I split this with 4 people and we basically got 1 bite each. It was extremely mild in flavor. I would much rather have had a zingy lemon center or some crunch to it. Anything! It just lacked in a lot of spots. It crunchy, and visually appealing. But lacked in all other aspects. 2/10 The banana: by far my favorite. Super pungent banana flavor. The chocolate was not super dark or bitter which I loved. It was crunchy, and cute. It was a little on the small size, but the taste definitely made up for it. 9/10 The Mango: I’ve had a lot of these desserts from many pastry shops and the mango is always the most popular. This one was good, but not the best I’ve had. It has a nice puree on the inside. However, visually it lacked. The paint was clumpy, and blotchy. The mango flavor was good, but still seemed to lack something I couldn’t explain. 7.5/10 The orange: By far my least favorite. It was just a big mess of cream. It tasted similar to an orange creamsicle but with very little sweet to it. It was sort of bitter and tart like a real orange. However, this was not worth $25 for 90% cream, that was barely even flavored. It was cute in itself, but fairly bumpy and dimpled. And not in the true orange way. More in a we gaf what it looks like way. 3/10 The raspberry: my whole group agreed that this should be renamed the grape. The cream tasted just like artificial grape. Once you get past the bitter mousse, and the grape flavored cream. You get to a delish raspberry ram with a nice chocolate cake. I would give this a 6.5/10.

Wow! Just wow! This place has the coolest looking cake thingies I’ve ever seen and they taste as good as they look. The staff were great and helped me decide (cuz wow are there a lot of unique options) and I LOVED the pineapple one, the little chocolate cake, and the banana. Will def be making my east coast friends come with me when they visit 🤩🍰😋

We flew all the way from Vancouver BC, Canada to try these!! My toddler loves watching Jane Mukbang on IG eat these, so when we finally arrived at Aurora, he recognized them instantly and was so excited to try!! Our favorite was the banana and mango. The raspberry was a tad too rich for us but still everything was so yummy!! My son and i loved it, and it was well worth the trip. We wish they had a location in vancouver too 😢 Service was great too, everyone working there is so friendly. Everytime we visit LA, we will be sure to stop by aurora. We miss it already 😢

This was one of the best pastry shops I have ever been to. The desserts are very expensive but not only worth the price with how good they taste, but they are HUGE!!! The clementine/orange one is so massive it’s the size of a large grapefruit. The raspberry/rosé one is even bigger than that! The banana one had speculoos in it and I have to go back for it. That is probably one of the best pastries I have ever eaten. I’ve spent so much time abroad but that one right there, is just beyond amazing. A very nice older man rung my friends and I up, helped us park correctly so we didn’t get a ticket, AND gave us extra chocolates to try totally free of charge. I cannot recommend this place more!! I’ll be back soon for my banana shaped dessert 😍 Los Angeles has the best dessert shop ever.

I hate these, only 1 tasted good which was the coffee bean. The desserts don't look as nice like the pictures and on top of that some desserts are smaller when i went in person. I seen videos of the same desserts and they were bigger. Looks like they downsized the desserts to make more money. Anyway the taste of the orange one was disgusting it tasted it so bad I can't even describe it and it looks very ugly and it cost 25 like really, the mango one, the filling inside wasnt good it tasted old but the cream was good. The long pastry eclair was very dry which means its old. Definitely not worth the trip i drove 2 hours and paid 70 dollars. What a waste money and time. At least the people there were very nice and kind to me. Other than that this desserts are not worth it. I wish i got my refund

Aurora is not without its challenges. You can expect to wait. You may not be able to get what you wanted. It's a bit chaotic. However, we were able to get most of what we wanted even at 4:30. The small cake was delicious but unremarkable. The raspberry was an outstanding combination of flavors without being too sweet. The lemon was the hit with remarkable flavor and texture. We would definitely go back.

Aurora LA is the sweet spot for anyone seeking to satisfy a refined sweet tooth. This boutique dessert destination elevates pastry into a form of art. Each piece is a meticulously crafted masterpiece, bursting with vibrant flavor and elegant design. From the moment you enter, the visual presentation is as compelling as the taste. Every item on display appears thoughtfully composed; the textures, colors, and plating suggest that the kitchen is as focused on aesthetics as it is on balance and flavor. Parking is extremely limited, which is something to be aware of. Arriving before 5 p.m. is highly recommended. Their daily stock moves fast, and for good reason. Once the display cases are empty, they remain so until the next day’s fresh creations arrive. Despite the logistical challenge of parking, and limited seating, Aurora LA is absolutely worth the effort. Whether you are a seasoned dessert aficionado or simply looking to treat yourself to something extraordinary, this is a must visit destination. Two thumbs up for taste and artistry.
