Looking for Tres Leches cake

Can you suggest a bakery / panadería or restaurant that sells memorable Tres Leches cake? I prefer locations in southeast LA County (Long Beach, Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens, Bellflower, Downey, Lynwood...) or nearby OC (Cypress, Los Alamitos...).

              Hollywood and Burbank seem a bit out of the desired area. See if there's a Vallarta Market down there. Some of them (not all) have a pretty good tres leches.

              • Liborio Market makes a good one. I think there is one in the Huntington Park/Bell area.

                  1. Superior Market has a great tres leche cake. We recently had the tl cake with bavarian cream filling and whipped cream frosting for a reitrement party. Everyone raved about this cake. Not too sweet and extremely moist.

                      1. it's not in ur preferred area and it's not a bakery but seriously... animal has AWESOME tres leches.

                          1. Whole foods hands down

                                i have to disagree on this. we bought it once, and it was not to our liking.

                                i've had a good experience, ironically enough, with the TL from Pavilioin's at Vine and Melrose. Perfectly moist and soaked, as we like it.

                                • King Ranch Markets...locations in Altadena, Monrovia, and Covina.

                                    1. El Molino Bakery at Hawthorne Blvd and Marine S/E corner is by far the best hands down.

                                        1. Vallarta Markets.
