Fred's Bakery & Deli Inc

First time here and OMG! The chocolate danish are AWESOME! We lucked out and got some just as they came out of the oven. So delicious and so good. We also picked up some rugelach to take home. The owner was really nice and friendly. Definitely coming back More...

Found this place again after many many years of not going there.They seem to have spruced up the place--it looks very nice, clean and bright and well attired. I think this establishment has become a kosher place.It appears that there may be new owners perhaps -maybe french.So they primarily have bakery goods.We ordered a variety of items all of which seemed to have been baked that same day.The people running the place were very helpful and seemed toknow their products well.They asked if I prefer a box or bag for all my take out items which was a very nice thought and touch.We had the different items over the course of the next few days and they still seemed fresh and tasty.I would highly recommend this place and I think you will like the very good selection and the cleanliness.I believe they also have outdoor seating if you woul like to go there and relax and have your treats right there on the spot.The coffee also seemed to smell excellent even though we did not partake.  Treat yourself and or a guest to this special establishment.Have fun !!!!!!

The menu isn't huge but it's efficient with some unique items for the type of place.  Bakery items are delicious. A kosher place in South Robertson with parve AND dairy baked goods? !? With all the empty storefronts in the business, We really need this place, Please visit and support. More...

Only been here once, had a unique pastry.  Ordered something I haven't had before, a poppy seed hamentaschen. Not overly sweet, and I like the actual pastry component. Service was good.  Coffee was fine, out of a thermos. More...

Words cannot describe how happy I am to see Fred's under Avi's ownership. My wife and I (and many of our friends) remember the original Fred's. After some lack luster (prior owner) changes, Avi is now in charge  - and boy, what a blessing! EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS! Do yourself a favor - run don't walk to Fred's...and if you've found that they're out of ribbon cookies- it's probably because you got there after I did. Thanks, Avi!! More...

This bakery has been a blessing to go to for many years when I was growing up and going to school at Hamilton High. I literally picked up my cheese bagel breakfast here just about every morning as a high schooler. After moving away in 1987, I did not get a chance to come back to the bakery until last year... the bakery has changed ownership, but the same flavors and baked goods are still available. I introduced my sister to this bakery last month and she's hooked on them now too. What to order?! Well, my main staple is the cheese bagels and Almond horn... Those two baked goods are not duplicated anywhere... and I look for these two specific items every time I'm at a bake shop.The shop is updated and looks like a little cafe. Grab a bagel with cream cheese and lox with capers... that's my fave. I also now order their Chai latte... truly the best IMO. The owner, Avi, is a great guy who's always smiling and accommodating.Definitely worth my time going out of the way to eat my bagel and pick up my stash of baked goodies to haul all the way to Phoenix.

Fred's Bakery has been around for years and is a staple in the neighborhood for good reason. Everything here is made to perfection, fresh, and never disappoints. The bagels are amazing; the cheese ones are to die for! All the baked goods and pastries are delicious; my absolute favorite being the Almond Chocolate Horns. It's seventh heaven to my tastebuds! Also, I just have to note that I'm not a fan of anything 'Chai' but Fred's Chai Latte will change any nonbeliever into a fan. I can't come here and not get one. It's downright addictive! I drive all the way from Arizona, just for Fred's Bakery and Avi's (the owner) service with a smile! I kid you not, Fred's is the real deal and totally worth the drive! It's that good. More...

The rye bread was much better than any of the other kosher options in town. It was fresh which is something I am not used to. I would hope that they consider expanding their breakfast offerings. I see a lot of potential here considering LA does not have a viable kosher breakfast place with decent breakfast options. I'll keep coming in for the rye and hope one day to see a proper breakfast menu. More...

I went to check this place out for the first time. Like many other nearby bakeries I didn't expect anything spectacular, but I was pleasantly surprised. The guy that worked there (not sure if he was the owner) was patient and kind but the baked goods were amazing. Got a babka which was good and the challahs were phenomenal!!! My husband was very impressed and it was nice to find a place that makes challahs that are just as good as homemade ones. I was talking to the guy about my kids and he gave me two cookies to take to them which he didn't have to do but he went out of his way. Great customer service, great food. More...

Hi, been there once on a Monday. Got 5 different baked goods: chocolate croissant, almond croissant, black & white cookie, kalachis and apricot croissant. Everything was very, very fresh, light and tasty. However, most were too light weight too me. Could have been 1/3 to 1/2 more the weight I feel.Chocolate croissant was really great: perfect "molten crunch", like caramelized. My favorite of all 5.Almond croissant dough was amazing but the "amandine" in it was WAY too little (thin & smaller than an index finger size on each end) vs. Eilat bakery's. More almonds on top would be appreciated.B&W cookie I am not an expert but my wife said it was very good (black part was too sweet to me and B&W glaze was too thin to me).Kalachis was my first-time and was delicious, unique and way heavier than all the other 4 (thus a better deal in my opinion).Apricot croissant was made with non-canned fruit. Dough was great too but I regret the filling used is jam rather than custard or the like, which is more traditional.Overall, very good quality, the job of a pro or, I would dare, a bakery artist. I feel pricing, even for Kosher, is a bit on the high for the weight of these items, at 3.29 to 3.49 a piece. In my opinion, could be 50c lower.Looking forward to tasting more of their products though... More...

I have only tried the rugelach, but OMG is it amazing.  When your teeth touch the outside of this delicious pastry you sense the perfectly cooked slightly crispy exterior.  As they continue their journey into this little morsel of heaven, you are greeted by soft dough interlaced with just the right amount of chocolate that makes your mouth yearn for more.  You force yourself to chew slowly to make sure each one of your tastebuds can share equally in the joy of this delectable treat.  You then ask yourself, "Why have I wasted my time eating rugelach from other places?"The owner is a delight and is justifiably proud of his offerings.  I look forward to trying other freshly baked goods in this magical place.

Amazing chocolate babka! I learned about this place when a friend brought some babka to my home a couple months ago. I've been to Fred's 6 times since to enjoy the babka, and even branched out to the kalachis, rugelach, and chocolate cigars. Delicious!

I hesitate to spread the word about Fred's Bakery & Deli lest it become a phenomenon but I can't help myself. This is the real deal folks!

Fantastic bakery! Small interior by most standards, but the food/recipes were great! The new-ish owner told me that they make everything from scratch! My thoughts on some of the food options: Bagels: Though not specifically a "bagel place," they have a small assortment of incredible bagels! I highly recommend the Onion/Garlic/Cheddar. They're fluffy and large, as opposed to most LA places that serve small, dense bagels. The bagels toast well and taste great with cream cheese (at the Bakery or at home)!Black & White Cookie: Now my favorite B&W on the Westside. They're made fresh, but are kept preserved in individual plastic bags. The cookie itself was the perfect softness. Good chocolate and good vanilla (which is uncommon). At first I thought there wasn't enough frosting, but I was wrong. I was able to eat the entire cookie and not feel bloated or go on a sugar rush.Chocolate danish: Also very good! It's like a giant chocolate Rugelach, which they have small ones of. Powdered sugar on the outside, airy middle, and chocolate all throughout.  Hamantaschen: They have the "normal" flavors, like cherry, apricot, prune, and poppy seed, but I'd like to seem them try an original flavor every new and again. Perhaps blueberry or strawberry, or a mix of two things.Mini sprinkled cookies: they don't look super impressive, but they taste great, and aren't overly-buttery or overly-sugary. More...

Fred's recently changed hands and I worried it would no longer be my "go to" bakery. Fortunately the new owners are great -- they've already upgraded the dining area and display. The cookies, pastures and florentines are the same, there's a nice selection of bagels, and a new olive challah is wonderful!! In fact I have been recommending the challah and bread to many other people in our neighborhood. More...

What a refreshing discovery soon after moving into the neighborhood. Enjoyed a pastrami sandwich with homemade potato salad and pickle, a coffee, and a German pastry along with charming and insightful conversation from manager Avi. This place has not morphed into a hipster coffee shop since its inception after WWII. Essentially, you get deli food and old-fashioned German pastries (now offering French as well), along with personal attention, and no unemployed screenwriters hogging tables. Lovely. More...

I needed to find some "dessert" to bring to a friend's house for dinner. Fred's is nearby and had great reviews here. I'd never stopped in before. But got about a pound of cookies - ruggelah, hamantaschen, and a few other things that I have no idea what they are called - probably a little more than two dozen mixed cookies in the box for about $13. Seemed reasonable, and the woman behind the counter gave me one small cookie for kicks. yay. Everyone at the dinner party - including me - thought the cookies were terrific, which says a lot because this is a crowd that won't eat dessert if it's not "worth it"! Thumbs up for Fred's! More...

This place is an LA establishment. My husband introduced me to Fred's a few years ago when we needed a bunch of bagels for a family brunch. He told me they make the best bagels he's ever had and he's been going there since he was a child, almost 30 years. Oh my goodness... I don't know what they do to these bagels, but they're perfect!  After I toasted my cheese and onion bagel, I smeared on my cream cheese and quickly drifted off into heaven. The outside was crisp with that little bit of fried cheese and the inside was warm, soft and chewy. I've had cheese bagels and bialis but this was something else!  Everyone was raving about the bagels at the brunch. I was trying to eat healthy at that time and I threw caution to the wind and ate a second bagel!! Also super delicious at Fred's, the Marble Rye Bread, rugelach cookies (I usually get a couple dozen because they vanish quickly) and the Chocolate Babka. The decor is simple and modest. My husband says it hasn't changed in the 30 years that he's been going. It's located right on a busy section of Robertson but parking is always easy. More...

Live in the area and walked by a ton before coming in today. Doesn't look like much from the outside but when you take a look at the counter it's packed with a ton of different types of goodies. One thing I love is that they do not skimp on the good stuff. The chocolate croissant had a ton of chocolate in it and the cinnamon bun had a ton of raisins in it. This isn't the best bakery I've ever but Its solid. It's been around for 65 plus years in the same location and their quality is excellent. The lady working there that I meet on Sunday has been there for 20 years and is so nice! More...

We went into Fred's a few weeks ago out of the blue because we were taking my grandma out for lunch. Turns out we arrived while the new owner was repainting the place and the deli wasn't quite fully operational yet. Still, the owner very kindly made us sandwiches despite the fact that it was difficult for him and listened to my Mom's tales of coming her with her family back in the day. Then, I dropped half of my grandmother's sandwich as I was putting in a doggie bag. The owner then made her a new half of a sandwich and gave us some rugelach to enjoy. We were so touched. It was just a wonderful experience all around. More...
