Balboa Island Baking Company

Best cookies I’ve had in CA!

I've only had the snickerdoodle cookies so far, and they are absolutely delicious. They tasted like your grandma's homemade cookies, but you can get as many as you want because your mom isn't there to stop you. 10/10 would recommend, and will be going back soon. The owner is great, she's super nice and loves what she does! What more can you ask for?

Not to sound dramatic but these are THE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS I've ever had in my life. Nothing else comes close. The staff is always so welcoming, and I absolutely love that this local bakery is family-owned. A must-try on Balboa Island!

Enjoyed a delicious cinnamon roll and pecan roll on a lovely Sunday morning! Pecan roll was incredible. Would recommend visiting this shop in Balboa Island.

Great food! Great people!
