Helms Bakery, located at 3220 Helms Avenue, Culver City, CA 90232, is a cherished Los Angeles institution making a flavorful return. Originally established in 1931, Helms became famous as the official bread supplier for the 1932 Summer Olympics. For decades, it served fresh baked goods door-to-door from its fleet of yellow delivery trucks, creating a nostalgic legacy that still resonates with Angelenos today.

Now, the brand has been revived and reimagined as a beautifully curated culinary destination inside the Helms Bakery District—a restored Art Deco complex that blends historic charm with modern lifestyle. The new bakery and cafe, reopened under the creative direction of Chef Sang Yoon, celebrates the past while serving up a fresh, contemporary experience.

Helms Bakery’s updated menu includes artisan doughnuts, signature cream puffs in rotating seasonal flavors like peach and pistachio, fresh-baked pastries, and espresso drinks. The space itself pays homage to the original bakery’s heritage, featuring a museum-style display of memorabilia, vintage signage, and historic baking equipment, offering a taste of Los Angeles history with every bite.

Spanning 14,000 square feet, the venue includes not only the bakery but also a planned full-service restaurant, retail marketplace, and event space. It’s designed to be a community gathering spot—inviting locals, tourists, foodies, and families alike. Whether you’re stopping in for a morning pastry or enjoying an afternoon coffee beneath the skylights, Helms Bakery provides a truly immersive, multi-sensory experience.

Located in Culver City, just west of downtown Los Angeles, the Helms Bakery District has grown into a vibrant design, dining, and art hub, with the bakery at its heart. The return of Helms isn’t just about baking—it’s about reviving a symbol of Los Angeles’ cultural and culinary past and giving it a modern, flavorful twist.
