Cara Mia Baking Co

"AMAZING vegan cookies. Good vibes, locally owned, positive atmosphere for sure. So many vegan options! Gluten free items here as well."

"Cara Mia (formerly The Trim Tart) is the absolute best!!! I am a huge cake-lover, so when I was looking for a cake to serve at my wedding I knew it had to be excellent. Better than your average wedding cake. I wound up tasting a whopping 29 cakes from various bakeries around the LA/South Bay area and the second I tried the cakes from Cara Mia I knew this was it. All of the flavors were so fresh and unique. The sponges were moist and the frosting was light and fluffy - and all of it was perfectly sweet. Not too much and not too little. We settled on serving 3 flavors - Carrot, Strawberry (vegan) and Chocolate Hazelnut. We got so many compliments from our guests on all of the flavors but the carrot seemed to be the stand out. Stephanie was also so sweet throughout the entire process and so easy to work with! I was worried I ordered too much cake (I got ~125 slices for a 110 person wedding) but nearly all of the cake was eaten. Such a hit! Thank you so much to Stephanie & team for a wedding cake of my dreams!"

"Lovely little spot for a coffee and a snack in Lomita! Bright and clean and quiet. I had a couple business calls I needed to take and I was passing through - so glad I stopped here! The tres leches latte was lovely. The croissant bread pudding was so good! I liked it so much I ordered a tart and a guava creme pastry to go for my wife for Women’s Day! She loved it too. The owner, Stephanie, is also wonderful and showed me pictures of their cakes - epic! And with vegan and gluten free options too! Hidden gem. Check it out!"
