"Sweet Laurel has been serving the Los Angeles gluten-free/dairy-free set since even before it opened its Pacific Palisades storefront in 2018. Its cakes, also free of refined sugars, are infinitely kid-friendly, as well as kind to those who have specific allergen sensitivities. Whole cakes for order here in flavors like vanilla maple and chocolate caramel are good for toddler birthday parties, but the rosy shop also offers slices for sale at its counter. The vanilla maple cake is as the name describes: a sweet, but not too sweet, almond flour confection swiped with a dreamy maple buttercream. — Nicole Adlman, cities manager" - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff

I ordered a vegan keto cake from this bakery to celebrate my dad’s 65th birthday. Since he has dietary restrictions and is diabetic, I was excited to find a cake that would suit his needs. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the quality and packaging. The cake arrived in a flimsy plastic container, which didn’t hold up in transit, leaving the cake damaged with cracks and chunks missing. This made it unpresentable for our celebration. Since we did not want to waste the cake, my family and I still tried it among ourselves. Beyond the appearance, the cake itself was extremely dry and did not meet our expectations in taste. For a cake costing nearly $100, I expected much better quality and care taken for transit. I’ve ordered many other cakes for delivery in the past, and all have arrived in perfect condition, so I know it’s possible. Overall, this experience was very disappointing, and I won’t be returning to this bakery.

Really tasty vegan cake and baked goods. Nice selection of tea. They sell vegan cookbooks and knick knacks like holiday wreaths. Nicely decorated. You feel like your sitting in a tea parlor you know like for high tea. I'm not vegan, my daughter wanted to come here. The cake doesn't taste as good as a non vegan cake but I was surprised that it didn't taste like cardboard. Very relaxing to have some tea and cake and sit in their nice parlor. My daughter loved it. It's a nice place.

This place is wonderful ! Their ingredients are clean and makes eating treats feel better. The employees are so friendly and anything you get will be delicious. I tried the pop tart, smores, linzer cookie, and Carmel cake. They specialize in gluten free items. I ate all of them in one sitting. Worth a stop by for sure ! Will be back.

Everything is grain free, gluten free and vegan and quite a few keto options - also had non-dairy housemade/clean unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk for the drinks which is so rare to find! There are so few cafes like this, it’s a godsend for people who have to follow specific diets. The coconut matcha, Keto coconut cake, brownie and blueberry muffin were delicious and the aesthetic of the shop is so lovely. Wish there was something like this in London! Also, excellent service! It’s also next door to Erewhon, great location

We tried three slices of cake (caramel chocolate, vegan keto, and vanilla coconut jam) plus a few snicker doodles and peanut butter cookies. Vanilla coconut jam was my favorite by far. Next time I will buy an entire cake of just this one. Vegan keto was pretty good too -- the consistency is a little grainier but moist. I liked it but I can see how it's not for everyone. Lastly, the caramel chocolate cake was OK. It didn't have a strong caramel taste, and the cake itself was fine. Service was great & friendly (ordered a day ahead of time). Everything traveled well thanks to how they boxed and packaged it.

My most favorite vegan bakery and Cafe since now. I just have nothing to critique, everything is perfect. Sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan, and most of all very tasty. The only thing that I can regret is that it's not closer to Hollywood 😄. Very attentive staff. I had a pastry stuffed with apple filling (apple pop-tart), then I took a package of cookies with chocolate chips and Snickerdoodle cookies, and the best was the chocolate cake. Omg, how much I enjoyed lol thank you for doing what you do. Update: watch uber drivers, they tried to take my order from this place in Valentine's day. It's really nicely packed and looking luxurious, so keep track on your order and reach for the order in case it takes too long to deliver or track on map. Fortunately, Uber helped us to get it out of him. It's is definitely good to take care of your order extraordinary, because it is extraordinary place and sweets you get here for yourself or your loved ones.

Grain free bakery 🙌 So excited 😆 And they have a healthy pumpkin 🎃 spice latte (a seasonal item). Just hoping they add some savory items in the future too! 🙏 Also, love that they have preservative free milk 🥛 alternatives: locally made fresh almond milk, coconut 🥥 and grass fed milk.

Sweet Laurel Bakery is my new favorite coffee shop for grain-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free sweets! And, they have vegan lattes. I tried an iced vegan caramel latte and a regular sweet laurel latte. And, we had a slice of chocolate caramel cake. You will find about 8 different cakes, and you can order a slice or whole cake. All of the steamed milk drinks are made with almond milk. It's difficult to find allergy friendly refined sugar free cake slices and these are ADDICTING! You'll find street parking or valet parking within a block. The customer service is excellent. During my visit, they had two tables inside and two tables outside. They are worth the price, and the cake is comparable for the surrounding LA area. Very addicting!
