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!

Superior stuff! You won't be disappointed. Their cakes are works of art!

I have been a loyal of this local bakery for a few years now. The owner/pastry chef makes pastries that not only TASTE incredible, but are made with ingredients that are honestly as good /healthy for us as pastries can ever get!! I used to walk my dog here almost daily to get my regular dosage of her AMAZING chocolate chip cookies. WARNING: once you have one of her chocolate chip cookies you may not want one from anywhere else again. Recently and newly diagnosed with celiac disease, I am a newbie in this gluten-free world (and slightly depressed), so you can imagine my excitement when I googled "gluten free pastries" and Cara Mia popped up!! I had totally forgotten that her specialty is making these tasty treats gluten free and/or vegan!! While I could not get my previous favorites, I took the owners recommendations for gluten-free treats, as well as a couple others for my better half (who's also a giant kid at heart lol) and well, you can see his reaction. Orange herb cake - GLUTEN FREE, extremely MOIST and just a perfect balance between richness, sweetness, and indulgence, matched with light fruit flavors to balance it out. Cookies and cream cupcake - we have yet to dive in, but I feel good getting this for my partner bc I'm SURE the ingredients are much better than the processed Oreos he inhales... lol. Marshmallow brownie - GLUTEN FREE and yet does not taste "healthy" in any way lol. The dark chocolate balances out the marshmallows and the crunch of each bite completes me. Pop tart - Ok, this is not good enough for you but I had to take a bite of this. Totally worth whatever flare-ups I'll get... this is probably my #1 recommendation!!!! Thanks Cara Mia, for brightening up my day with gluten free options to let me know it's not the end of my culinary world. Haha. ❤️

One of the best businesses in the South Bay, the Trim Tart offers fresh flavorful baked goods, both savory and sweet. The hand crafted beverages are delicious as well!

Had a blueberry scone. Yummy! Perfect place to spend time 'catching up' with my best friend.
