Amazing. Perfect. Buy every item. Street parking is tough. Go to Suay Sew Shop while you’re there.

Arguably the best bakery - Edit
Amazing desserts and a huge variety of them. The cinnamon pop tart was amazing, as was the funfetti sprinkle cookie. Cinnamon roll and bundt cake were not bad either

How to Eat A Vegan Cupcake?
Read moreFirst, come here. If you can't choose, simply buy them all! No regrets!
Next, peel off the patty case holding the cupcake in one hand just below the icing. Now, tear the bottom half of the cupcake off and eat it in two bites. Warning this should only be attempted with top quality cupcakes that are delicious and moist like those found here.
What's left is a pile of icing and half a cupcake. Carefully, regard the cupcake as psychological admiration is 75% of food enjoyment and promotes good digestion by activating the gut-brain neural-link.
Finally, ever so carefully open your mouth halfway and very very gently smash the whole damn thing into your face! Make sure icing gets everywhere! Smack your lips a couple times and say out loud, "Goddamned!" The louder the better.
Check your face for sugar paste remnants and lick the residual smears from your fingers. Bask in the afterglow. How many times do the thoughts of these cupcakes cross your mind for the remainder of the day? Count them.
This is how you measure success.

Delicious pastries - Edit
I got the pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin cinnamon roll, walnut carrot cake, black and white cookie and sausage and cheese kolache
Read moreThe latte was delicious. My favorite item was the pumpkin cinnamon roll. So fluffy and yummy.
The sausage and cheese kolache barely had any sausage and cheese and I wasn’t a fan of the cream cheese on it (a lot of dill) but the bread was so sweet and delicious it definitely made it worth it!
Wasn’t the biggest fan of the white and black cookie. It was soft baked which I’m not a fan of but my husband really enjoyed it.
Bakery is super cute and staff was very nice and friendly. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of breakfast vegan options in LA during the week day so this is a solid spot to get some at! They also have a who menu with breakfast items if you don’t want pastries.
Would recommend this place if in the area!!

I do knead it in my life - Edit
It’s great when food is so good that it doesn’t matter to the non-vegans in your life that it’s vegan. Everything we’ve tried here (cookies, danish, sticky buns, biscuits, etc.) is delicious. Because it’s LA, because it’s a novelty, and because it’s a tight space, the service can be a little slow. What they lack in efficiency, they more than make up for in flavor!

Amazing all around - Edit
Jwik has delicious vegan pastries and baked goods. Both savory and sweet options. You can’t got wrong with their tomato basil galette and potato quiche.
Read moreBut don’t just try their pastries because their food is sooo good too. Killer breakfast burrito and sausage biscuit sandwiches. They’ve also recently been serving a Crunchwrap that is perfect. Only $9 too!?
You also can’t skip on their coffee. While there are good coffee options around the area, jwik coffee is delicious as well. Their vanilla latte is the perfect amount of vanilla flavor, sweetness, and espresso.
Pros: Cute place, Great breakfast food, Great coffee
Cons: Street parking can be hit or miss

Unreliable warning - Edit
I’m really bummed and never write poor reviews but JWIK really left me in a tough spot. I inquired 5 days before about a friend’s birthday cake—once via email and once on their contact form since it wasn’t super clear and I didn’t want my order to be missed. They got back to me the next day and asked me some questions about my order and to reply that day to be put on the schedule. I replied in a timely manner but didn’t hear for 2 days and then was told that the earlier day I requested was full and that the original day I requested (Sunday) was the only option… to which I replied (again as soon as I read the email) that that was a bummer but yes, that would be great! Then I literally hear back at 2PM the day before I was supposed to pick up my cake that they ended up being “too overwhelmed” and “couldn’t accommodate the order”!! If I was told this earlier in the week, I could’ve made other arrangements—but being told less than 24 hours when I had requested the smallest cake size, 5 days in advance? I literally couldn't order anything anywhere else in less than 24 hours and it completely ruined my trust, view, and excitement to try this place. How was my small order which was sent in days and days before the pickup date all of a sudden not able to have been accommodated and I’m hearing about it the say before? Not even in the morning might I add. I’m not only disappointed about how unprofessionally and disrespectfully they handled this request but now I can’t say I’ll ever want to place an order with them in the future if they aren’t reliable. They didn’t even respond to my email after bailing! They really lead me on and left me with no other options. I will not be recommending this place to anyone and I’m just writing this to warn everyone else so their plans and hopes don’t get ruined as well :(

Hi Alex this is the owner of Just What I Kneaded. I went ahead and reviewed our email exchange. Unfortunately this was a particularly hectic week as we were short staffed and over booked. If you haven’t visited the bakery we are a very small team and often the baker is also the emailer and the emailer is also serving coffee. We’ve managed to survive the pandemic as we opened in June of 2020 , but are still working on scaling up and accommodating our growing orders as well as managing covid complications. Again I’m so sorry we were not able to accommodate your order and the last minute cancellation ruined your celebration. We did not respond to your last email as you referred to our manager as “a toxic ex boyfriend”. We didn’t think engaging with a response would result in anything productive or kind.

Legit AMAZING - Edit
Edit: note for my larger-bodied friends, the chairs are tiny and unstable. You will likely be more comfortable taking your food to go. I’m a small fat person and ridiculously uncomfortable on their feather-weight furniture.
Read moreI’m a baker and pastry snob and boy oh boy, this place CAME THROUGH. Everything was top-notch and delicious. The biscuits and gravy were heavenly, the strawberry pop tart sweet and flaky, the latte was perfection. I’m so happy we stopped in and I’m looking forward to going back again soon.

HIDDEN GEM - Edit
Great little spot for brunch! Everything was great except for the cake. The frosting was very chalky and too sweet. The bagels are amazing. The only thing that a bit off was the woman behind the counter talking to customers about her past traumas when nobody asked. Was very awkward. It is also a little hard to find as there is no signage. It's kind of tucked away in a semi residential neighborhood.

What Just Happened?!?!! - Edit
The cinnamon bun with fresh zested lemon in the frosting, the light buttery flakey pop tart with as Mary Berry would say has, "very distinct layers" oozing delicious strawberry jam from the center, the cheesy tofu scramble with sauteed onions and what had to be a house made impossible sausage patty on a biscuit seasoned with herbs that will make you want to go on a run just so you can make room for more buiscits. I cannot overstate how good this food is. The portions are generous and the staff clearly enjoy where they are working. They make you feel like they want to take care of you. Also I have Nut allergies and Chic pea allergies and they double checked that everything I had was safe. This is a must see when visiting L.A. and you will leave having had just what you needed.

Goodies - Edit
I bought a tray of cinnamon buns from the owner right before the store was first open for business and still being remodeled, but I haven’t been back since. It was nice to see the place all finished up. Stopped by for some treats and was not disappointed. Everything was great. My only complaints would be it’s a bit pricey. I wanted a bagel sandwich, but found the $14 price to be a bit high for that, much like the rest of the food items, but everyone’s wallet size is different so maybe a $14 bagel sandwich is fine for others. Also there’s absolutely no signage. I find that very unfortunate when businesses don’t make it easy for customers to find their location. It’s easily missed driving by. Even with gps you’re left wondering if you’re in the right spot. The parking is pretty abysmal there too. Not their fault, but be prepared.

Insane - Edit
The customer in front of us raved about this place being the best bakery in LA and boy was he right. From the savory sandwiches to the fresh baked pastries to the coffee drinks…just insane. My sisters favorite was the black and white cookie - super fluffy. I think my favorite was the chocolate chip cookie because it was both gooey and salty with the sea salt on top. But honestly I didn’t expect to be so in love with the fresh baked biscuit on the sandwich and damnnnnn. It’s great okay??

Fantastic! - Edit
Their bagel sandwiches are SO GOOD. Fresh, house made bagels and fillings. I especially love The Elaine. And the pastries...probably the best in LA. And I do t say that lightly. (Plus, some are GF!) Order early because they often sell out.
