“Best pub in the Altadena area. It is a family run business, and really, a more traditional "public house." Not too many places like this around! Guiness and other European ales on tap. Nice selection of wines too. Say hi to Judah, Gail & family and help support Altadena!“

“My family and I visited this cookie shop for the first time last weekend and we are all SO GLAD we did! We are cookie lovers, and avid hobby bakers, ourselves so we have high standards when it comes to cookies. We tried 6 different kinds of cookies and every one of them was absolutely delicious! The shop vibes are awesome, every person working was so kind and positive. I am so thankful to have this great place in my town to hang out and get great treats at. 10/10 recommend and we will be back again!“

“muy delisiosa comida lo atienden Co un gran serbisio recomendado“

“First time visiting. Ordered a round Pepperoni. 1/2 hour wait. Smelled good. Crust was very good. Barely had enough cheese. Could use more. A little on the pricey side. Would order again.“

“It's a bit small, but the food is amazing. The kitchen seems well staffed, so theyre able to serve you in a timely manner even when it's absolutely packed.

Quesa-Birrias are really good and they came with a chile asado, perfect.
Torta Chingona is solid for someone who likes a lot of flavors/ textures

Salsa Roja is good but the Salsa Verde was way better.

The parking is pretty rough, but its worth the walk.“

“This will make you so happy I recommend you try this food right now🍾🍾“

“The food here is amazing and the atmosphere is charming. So far I’ve had the Reuben, the Italian, the French Philly dip and they have all been amazing!

Great spot for lunch, and a hack for flights or road trips. Grab a cold sandwich before your travels to eat later“

“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“Lovely people and food!!!“

“Great array of food options in a lively atmosphere“

“The food was very tasty, will be back next time“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“The Italian sandwich is full of vibrant flavors with a nice touch of acidity and fresh veggies! Bread has a crips crust and soft texture inside. Also tried the artichoke antipasti and it was delicious! For some reason it was like eating pizza in salad form. Loved the almond cake! Super fragrant!“

“I'm here just about every other weekend to get takeout for the family. The Indian flavors really come through in an exciting way. The rotisserie chicken is one of the best I've found in LA, and it's not even the best chicken on the menu. Anything with beans are a must-have.“

“Excellent deep dish style pizza.“

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“5 rating Vegan Delicious Pizza!! Slices, full pies, caesar salad, garlic knots, all house-made ingredients. cashew-based cheese. loved it!! As of October 2022, opened for 8 mos.“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“What a delightful and delicious surprise! We were out looking for some interesting ice cream and stumbled on this place. 6 flavors of soft serve. We both loved the Vietnamese Coffee! I got another flavor Yakukt (tart yogurt) and hubby got the coffee and condensed milk flavor.

The owner took the time to explain each flavor and give us a taste sample of 4 flavors. For a Friday night it was packed and a line out the door, but totally worth it. Great vibes inside!“

“This sushi place is the best in town.
Raw tuna has an absolutely superb taste. It’s of great quality and has a high turnover rate, ensuring that you can always enjoy fresh sushi. However, one unfortunate aspect is that we don’t take reservations, which means we have to wait for at least 20 minutes.“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“All the food was outstanding. The raw fish and seafood was unbelievably fresh and aptly paired with elevated fresh flavors. The tostadas reminded me of Contramar in Cdmx, but even better (dare i say).

The atmosphere is beautiful, has a massive garden space, scattered lighting, copious succulents. It feels like an escape right in LA. The service is warm, personable, efficient.

Definitely worth the trip and such a great find.“

“I highly recommend!!! My experience here was amazing. The food was excellent. It’s such a cozy environment and everyone that worked there was extremely friendly. I will definitely be visiting again.“

“It’s really healthy and still delicious! There’s another really good dish called the kechapuri that’s overlooked but super good! I’d get the wrap and a kechapuri! The kechapuri is a little less healthy but super good and the wrap skin is very good and thin!“

“Great friendly service and food.“

“This is authentic down to the sexy owner Francesco with the beautiful accent. He made the heck out of my cappuccino with a hint of house made vanilla and cinnamon. He deftly stirred and measured all the while answering my questions just so I could hear him speak.
I also got the fritatta with zucchini and other delicious veggies. O.g! Do, savory and fluffy. They have so many items on the menu from pastas to decadent desserts and they even have imported Italian sparkling water and still. If you wanna feel transported to a country and romanticize what your taste buds are experiencing, this is the place for you. There is some seating outside and you can people watch but the star of all of this is incredible food just the way his beloved Grandmother made.“

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

“Great high quality food and service“

“Was awesome to find a restaurant with my two favorites…GF and Southern!“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.“

“Amazing delicious food and love the ambiance. The servers were awesome!!“

“I highly recommend Sushis Takeda. I absolutely loved the experience: the service from the waitstaff was excellent—always attentive and very friendly—which made the whole visit even more enjoyable.

What stood out most was the *omakase* format, where the chef prepares a perfect selection —and honestly, it does not disappoint. I was served by the team of Jairo, Sami, and Demi, and everything we tasted was delicious. Every single dish had incredible flavor, and the quality was evident.

Plus, I really enjoyed the sake 🍶; it complemented the entire experience perfectly.

It is definitely a place I would return to without a second thought. 👌🍣“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“My go to breakfast spot. Love how vegan friendly it is and on a beautiful LA day it’s such a gorgeous spot to sit outside and talk with friends. The steak sandwich and breakfast crunch wrap are my current favs but it’s hard to pick when everything is so good!“

“The biggest value of this place is its location and outstanding service. We came for breakfast as a family of six and even changed our table at the last minute, but the staff handled it with ease.
Our server, Razmik, was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He has such a contagious laugh and warm personality that immediately made us feel at home. Service like his is rare, and honestly, it’s worth visiting this place just for people like him.
The food was also excellent. I especially loved the eggplant and zucchini chips, the fried calamari, and the omelettes. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended!“

“It’s a one of kind experience! I ♥️ their coffee, pastries and the ambiance!“

“Soooo good! This was my first time trying Blossom Market Hall, recommended by a friend, and i absolutely loved my experience here! My sister and I had Rolland sushi, it was the perfect meal! Delicious with the sweetest staff. We also had a great experience with the lovely woman at the bar, she made our night too! Bar prices are GREAT!

Can’t wait to come back and try more places.“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We go for the trout and beef koobideh! Fantastic food and warm, friendly service.“

“I just woke up feeling like I wanted a taste of Latin America and could think of anything else that I could just walk and offer me a great taste and sidewalk porche to enjoy my meal. I just had my first experience here. I tried the fish and shrimp taco. So fresh, and I could feel the authenticity of the flavors. The cashier is precise and thoughtful :) As a Brazilian, I could feel the vibe of great daily Latin food.“

“Great food. Nice staffs. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Jonathan was an exceptional - guided us through the menu.“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“
