La's Bakery (CLOSED)

This bakery only pops up annually, with one major goal: Provide the SGV with some of the best mooncakes L.A. has ever seen. The family-run operation makes hundreds of cakes by hand, offering pickup and day-of perusal for sweet and savory options alike. Flavors range from the traditional—such as red bean paste with salted yolk—to more uncommon combos, like the susage and nut mooncakes, or those stuffed with dried scallops and coconut. Because this shop only sticks around for a few weeks of the year, be sure to call 626-280-2216 in advance to make sure they're still open.
