La Mousse Desserts

Absolutely delicious! What a gem hidden. I needed a cheesecake for a party and a friend suggested this place. I brought it and everyone commented how good it was. I got the plain cheesecake, but next time I will try one of the others. So many to choose from!

So I google carrot cake on my search for the best Carrot cake in LA. Came across La Mousse so I gave it a try based on the reviews here on Unilocal.Thank you all. So the place is kind of hidden and to be able to get in you Must ring the bell. Lol!!! Awkward or what. Lol. Once you are inside small Room /​store it’s like you are. Back in time. They had lots of samples for you to taste the different kinds of desserts they offer. The lady that help me was very friendly despite what others have wrote on here. Very helpful and very friendly. I even got a coupon for my next purchase. Which in fact I will def be back … I got a carrot cake for $ 37 and Pear Almond Bars for $ 18 bucks total: $ 55.00 not bad because the quality of this deserts are exceptional … I’m def going back again soon… maybe for Christmas hummmm thank you La Mousse

I love LA Mousse bakery! I live in San Diego and specifically seek out restaurants and cafes that offer their products. Fortunately there are several places in town offering them including the Crest Café, Nordstrom ’ Cafes, Claire de Lune, even Fry’s Electronics café! In any event, I’ve had their lemon cake, carrot cake, pumpkin spice cake, chocolate windmill cake. I love all of them! If I was going to throw a medium to large dinner party, I would definitely order desserts from La Mousse! Or ask for them at your favorite restaurant. In my opinion they are far superior to the typical desserts found in most restaurants. And I agree with other reviewers that their desserts easily rival the Cheesecake Factory’s. Oh, and the only negative reviews of this place are regarding customer service, everyone else seems to love their products!

This place never fails to disappoint! I always buy the German Chocolate cake for my moms birthday!!! Awesome bakery! I love it!

After calling 10 places to find a mousse cake, this was the only place that had it in stock that day. This is a pretty cool little place that wholesales mostly to restaurants but also sells to the public too. I got a chocolate mousse cake for my Gfs bday and it was great. I don’t know a lot of cakes but $ 33 seemed okay I guess. Seemed high quality, if I ever have cake needs again I would call them back.

We love la mousse! After getting over the fact that their cakes and desserts come frozen and pre-​sliced for retail, this place is my go to spot to pick up a cake for an event. I love the lemon with giant white chocolate pieces and they have a coconut apricot cake that’s amazing (and I don’t even like coconut!). Their chocolate symphony cake is super rich and decadent! I always make sure to ask for not pre-​sliced when I order. Cakes that are not pre-​sliced doesn’t come with the paper in between slices. But, you can still see the line that separates the slices. Make sure you give yourself enough time to thaw the cake before serving.
As others mentioned, this place is more like a factory that sells to retail stores. When I went to a coffee shop in laguna beach a few months ago, they were selling the la mousse lemon cake that I love!

I ordered a chocoloate mousse cake, and it was fantastic!

A hidden cake shop in the guise of a warehouse (it actually is a cake warehouse). I had to ring the buzzer to be let in, and initially thought I was at the wrong place because it looked like an office more than a store. I was let in to a tasting area and got to flip through some of the cake catalogs. I had to go with the Boston cream pie and I’m glad that I did. It definitely looked prettier in real life than in its pic, and it tasted heavenly.
All the pies/​cakes are frozen with specific thawing instructions. Seriously a great wholesale business practice and I was very pleased with the help /​advice I got in choosing a pie. Will definitely be back again!

I would assume, by the good reviews, that this place would be a great experience. But, that was not the case.
My company was working on a job right by the bakery. We saw the delicious goods and decided to stop by for an afternoon pick-​me-​up. The cashier was rude, and discriminated my employees because of their uniform. I have never, ever had to deal with a place that judged their customers.
None of my employees, nor myself, will be buying or stepping foot in this facility.
What a disappointment!!!

Had the lemon bars, carrot cake and butter brick at a party and they were all fabulous, though my favorite was definitely the lemon bar! Especially when they were still slightly cold from being frozen earlier. Highly recommend and would make great desserts for a party. Too bad you can’t buy less than the whole box for each dessert but they do get gobbled up pretty quickly.

cakes here are so delicious and so beautiful. I got the lemon cake for a friends birthday and it was so perfect and lemony and sweet and moist. They put these beautiful white chocolate leaves on the cake as decorations, too sweet for my taste but they look amazing.
The store is more of a warehouse where they ship out their cakes, so it is a tad confusing at first, but it is unique and that makes me feel like I am in on the secret of their awesome cakes. The lady that helped me out was very friendly and approachable.

Man their cheesecakes are RICH… they definitely don’t scrimp with the ingredients here on loading a cheesecake up to buttery, fatty goodness. The cheesecake is different than any others I’ve seen. First, when you open the box you’ll notice all the lil pumpkin chocolate pieces adorning the beautiful cheesecake. It’s half pumpkin bread and half cheesecake. I like this since eating the cheesecake portion is too rich for me so at least I can eat the bread half (and I love pumpkin bread!). Quite enjoyable! Will I have more than 1 slice? Probably not. At least I can share it with friends and family. :)

LOL Caleb! Kudos to you for being a great husband and sorry no one has mentioned that the cakes are always frozen and pre-​sliced here. BTW — if your wife loves chocolate cake. Please try the dobash cake from Kings Hawaiian bakery in Torrance. It’s light and airy yet not too sweet. Did I mention I’m not a chocolate lover? It’s the only chocolate cake I eat.
Back to La Mousse. As I mentioned, the cakes are always frozen and pre-​sliced here but surprisingly moist. There’s a piece of wax paper between every slice which makes serving easy. I’ve frozen cakes from them for a couple of months and they were still good.
A must try are their coconut cake and strawberry cheesecake. So yummy! The cheesecake is creamy and not too sweet. I actually like it better than Jr. in NYC. ;)
HAPPY EATING!

The best mocha crunch bars ever!!! It taste like a cake brownie bar with lil salty specs of love sprinkled all over the top, Ive NEVER had anything come close to this delightful bar anywhere. Ive tried this bar from house of brews in sylmar and am soooooo freaking happy i know that i can buy these myself straight from from la mousse!

Cakes are frozen and pre-​sliced!
Thanks, I just wanted to get that out of the way.
It was my wife’s birthday, and she loooooves chocolate. And dessert. So being the good hubby that I am, I did a thorough search of Unilocal,and decided to order at La Mousse Desserts based on the good reviews. I called them, and they gave me three chocolate options, so I picked the one that sounded like the most traditional chocolate cake (not mousse), which was the Chocolate Symphony.
On the day of the birthday, I went to pick it up, and I realized that it’s not really a retail store. More of a locked office (which you have to buzz to be let in) next to their factory. And more of a shocker, the cakes were pre-​sliced, papered between the slices, and frozen solid.
Why did none of the other Unilocal reviewers say something? I guess all of their cakes are frozen and pre-​sliced for resellers!!! Isn’t Unilocal supposed to help give you information about a place you haven’t been… But I digress…
Okay, well, I had enough time to thaw it out, and I didn’t want to admit to the lady there that I didn’t know what I was doing, so I acted all casual and said, «thanks!»… And just to prove I knew what I was doing, I asked her if I could also add a carrot cake (also frozen), and she said yes, and she went and took one out of the freezer for me. Okay, the acting cool was only one part of it. The other part was that several Unilocalers recommended the carrot cake, and my wife loves a good carrot cake, and I wanted her to try it. And heck, since they’re pre-​sliced and frozen, I figured it would be easy to thaw and eat a few at a time…
Candles and birthday-​song-​singing to a pre-​sliced/​papered cake was odd, but luckily, we don’t really care about «propreity»… Either that, or my wife loves me too much to complain… Either way, I wasn’t about to say nuthin…
The cake was really dense, and really good. It was just a traditional chocolate cake, made the way you always imagine a good traditional chocolate cake to taste like. It’s essentially the standard bearer of chocolate cakes. I’ve had good chocolate cakes with fancy chocolate shavings (at Susina on Melrose) or with excellent filling, or with raspberries or with rum… But this was a standard bearing chocolate cake. And my wife loved it. With coffee, though… Very rich.
We also tried the carrot cake, eventually… And it was the same. Exactly what you imagine a good carrot cake to be. I’ve actually had many good carrot cakes, such as Vanilla’s Bake Shop in Santa Monica, which has a great sweet drizzle. But if you want a good solid traditional carrot cake, I don’t think you can beat La Mousse.
As I write this, I’m suddenly saddened at how much I know about desserts… I feel like going for a run…

One slice of coconut whiteout cake I had at a wedding anniversary changed my life. I thought I’d tasted good coconut cake before but I was completely wrong.
This soft, fluffy cake is filled with lightly whipped apricot marmalade and creamy vanilla custard. And the entire thing is covered with whipped cream and lightly toasted flakes of coconut.
The best part? A whole cake is only $ 32 + tax.
The sad part? I will live 5 hours away from this bakery.
If you live closer to the bakery than I do, make your day 20x better by getting their cake. Yes, the whole cake.

This place is the supplier for many LA area coffee shops, cafes and restaurants. They sell to the public but their main business comes from wholesale desserts supplied to local restaurants. If you have ever had a slice of cake from Nordstrom café at Westside Pavilion it is from LA Mousse. I LOVE the Boston Cream Cake at Nordstrom café so I asked if they make it and the manager said «all our desserts come from LA Mousse». I asked how much for the whole cake at Nordstrom and they sell the whole cakes for $ 45 and up, I called LA Mousse for the same cake and they sell it for $ 30. So, this place is great for birthdays, dinner parties, office parties, etc. So much better than any cake from a grocery store or even Whole Foods or Gelsons. Check it out! Your taste buds will thank you…

I used to work at Kelly’s Coffee & Fudge Factory in a unspecified mall when I was in high school. We would get all of our pastries, cookies and cakes from this place. I tried most of their items that we purchased from them and I have to say, they make some solid desserts.
A lot of small businesses like coffee shops carry La Mousse products, so you know it’s pretty good. I’ve been meaning to come by here to their actual store because although it’s been years since I’ve ate one of their creations, it was so yummy I never forgot about it.

If you’re reading this because you’re at the Sepulveda West Car Wash and wondering what to do with the 10 minutes until your car is ready, step across the street to La Mousse (no, it’s not closed down). But don’t expect to find single-​serving desserts; most of their desserts will feed at least 6 people. But they are good! Caramel brownies — yum!

Bought my latest from LaMousse for Mother’s Day for a friend and her mom. Everyone loved it.
I am sorry for those that say the deserts are too rich and full of calories. These are delectable DESSERTS meant for special occasions and indulging. Of course they are!
Everyone I have shared their cakes with have enjoyed them. The good news about La Mousse is they give their ingredient list so you can see what’s in your food. It’s pretty wholesome. But again, if you don’t want beautiful, indulgent… delicious…don’t come here!
