Fermentality

This hidden gem is hidden but well worth it. The treats are sweet but not that sugary sweet that later makes you feel guilty. The owner is working there and appreciates your business!!

I had high hopes and was so excited to find a local gluten free bakery as my mom has celiac, but unfortunately my mom didn't enjoy any of the items I purchased from here. I bought 1 raspberry tartlet for $7, 1 box of 4 truffles for $13 and 1 box of cookies for $12. I visited the store in-person on Christas Eve Eve. Super cute little store with a lot of variety and the baker/cashier who helped me was so sweet, however.....The raspberry tartlet had no flavor and both the truffles and cookies didn't taste home made, but rather commercially made with no fresh ingredients. Nothing was tasty. The prices are comparable to other local gluten free dessert businesses, but the taste and quality was lacking. Unfortunately I won't be returning.

Randomly found this place on yelp when searching for sugar free dessert. It was close by to where I was eating lunch so figured it was the perfect time to check it out. Tiny little place tucked away in an awkward strip of shops next door to a seedy dive bar and car wash. Be warned, parking is limited and if you park in the next parking lot over you will get approached by tweakers in the alley asking for money.This place was a nice surprise. It has both fermented items such as kimchi, cauliflower, kombucha, etc, and a wide range of homemade bakery items that are diabetic and keto friendly. Every single dessert looks sinfully delicious yet are surprisingly low calorie and only a couple of carbs. Cookies, cakes, pudding looking things, little pies, everything looked amazing. I personally bought a cookie and a pumpkin spice coffee cake. My wife got a cookie and a pumpkin pie in a jar thing. We get home, and I'm like "ok, this is really going to suck. No way this tastes good". I take a bite and I'm like "WTF". Take some more bites, let out a few more "WTF's". No joke, if you gave this to me without telling me I would assume this is a 100% full sugar unhealthy dessert item. In no way did this taste like a healthier version of a dessert. Flavor was delicious. Texture was perfect. Now when I went here about a month ago I was surprised by the high price but my wife is learning how to make similiar items herself and the ingredients cost a fortune. Regular flour is $4.99 yet Keto friendly flour is like $20. So it's expensive but it's due to the ingredients they have to use to keep the carbs low. I can't wait to return and try more goodies. My wife can't eat sugar anymore so this is a great way to still eat a tasty treat. They use monkfruit as the sweetener so nothing artificial.I also bought a jar of their Thai style fermented cauliflower. I loved it. Crunchy and loaded with flavor. Only reason I can't give this place 5 stars is the shelf products. My wife bought a "Rhea" candy bar by Choc Zero. It was so old the chocolate was ashy white and it was hard as a rock. It was also drastically marked up in price. So that pissed her off. But, the good thing is she discovered choc zero and now orders direct from the Fullerton, CA company. EFFING AMAZING sugar free candy that also uses monk fruit as sweetener.If you can't have sugar or are on a Keto diet you must give this place a shot. They change their bakery items weekly and they taste truly fantastic. You will have zero idea you're eating something low carb and sugar free.

When you're on a specific diet due to personal choice or medically required and the urge to satisfy that sweet tooth is apparent, then Fermentality or aka Niya Bakery is your go to place. We are currently on a ketogenic diet and the hardest part of a low carb diet is satisfying those sweet cravings. As Fermentality is a bit of a small place, they give you some dessert and savory keto options. We tried two of their pizza bagels which hit the spot to satisfy the bread craving. We also tried three single serving desserts. A pistachio mousse in a brownie like cake cup, the Christmas tree ginger bread cookie/cake and a raspberry cake with coconut. Also had to give their chocolate chip cookies a taste test. As expected when you go to a specialty store, the prices of items are going to be a bit pricey but at Fermentality, it's reasonable. We will definitely come back to see the many different options offered that we were told can change at times.

I wanted something gluten-free, and I found this place! I really wanted zaatar with bread and the best part was I found this place that had that with cheese! It was made of almond flour, but it tasted like real bread! I couldn't wait to go home and warm it up so I did have a cold, but I have to say it was so moist , fluffy and delicious! I also had the carrot cake ball, and that was just as amazing! It had a really amazing cinnamon flavor! I can't wait to go back and try more!

Been coming here since they opened up. Love love love this bakery and the owners! It's a lovely couple! If you are keto, low carb this is hands down the best bakery in SouthBay. I've tried all of them especially here in Long Beach. They give you great variety of options and constantly work on new creations. Highly recommend!!!

Friendly. GOOD. Lots of items for those with health restrictions. Owner helped us and she was so sweet and shared her story of how the business got started. Love that and love supporting a small business out there serving us with different dietary needs. Only critique is that it is rather expensive.

For the love of God, where have you been my entire life?I've always had the struggle for love of food and wanting to be skinny, so Keto has been the answer to having both. Fermentality, is a Keto lovers dream come true. Why? They've cracked the code how to make diet food not to taste like diet. Keto not to taste like keto. Most following the ketogenic diet would agree, most keto sweets have an acquired taste and they've managed to bake those desserts tasting like your favorite sweets.Options is what you'll find here! They've got everything from cookies, carrot cake, banana nut bread, parfaits, Bundt cakes, ricotta cakes to cream pies. Their menu changes so it's always nice to try new things and that never gets old. The prices are more than affordable and their bakery in my opinion, is the best Keto store around. Happy Eats

Bought a vanilla chocolate cake for my friend who has gestational diabetes and she was so excited for her first cake in months! Will definitely be coming back to try some of their weekly specials!

Fermentality is a God Send!Living with food allergies can be challenging to find food, especially bakeries that cater to our diet. Everything served here is delicious and variety oriented on a weekly basis. I'm grateful for Ilkay and Damian for coming to the community!Please never leave
