“This place was awesome. Best service I have had in years. I felt very welcome and they cared about my experience. Food was great and fresh.Lots of great dishes to share!Dumplings are awesomeSeaweed salad was refreshingPeanuts and anchovies was too strong for my palate. Would not order againMake a stop to experience this restaurant!!!Kid-friendliness: Casual location for the family“
“Top tier dirty chai (they make their own chai) coupled with the unique smoked salmon bagel sandwich (with cream cheese, avocado, tajin, and berbere sauce) makes for an out of this world lunch!Add the decor and friendly staff and you’ll have yourself a memorable experience!“

“Tattoo artists are incredibly sweet, and very talented. The environment feels very safe and friendly, water is readily available if you need it, and the artists don't mind if you ask for rest breaks. I made positive conversation with everyone who was there at the same time as me. The artist I was there to see, Stanley, did an amazing job with my very tricky scar cover-up tattoo. Also, the aesthetic of this place is absolutely perfect, their interior design choices are really impressive. The green and pink floral theme is adorable.“
“"Sippin from your cup 'til it runneth over..." I heard JT performed at the Wiltern last night for free so I had his music on repeat in my head all day today during work. So of course I had to stop by here as soon as I saw the store name. I did NOT expect to find the best donuts I've ever had in my life. Period. I walked in and was greeted warmly and decided to just order the Original Sin and their version of classic milk. They were so nice and gave me another donut for free which was the Obrama. Everything was so scrumptious. I loved that the donuts weren't too big. The quality of the donut is so good that it only needs to be a smaller size to have the same effect as something larger. The outer texture and the crispness reminded me of the blueberry m&m donuts that they sell in OC where people line up for hours to buy. The donuts here taste better because the inside texture is a lot lighter and isn't as dense so you don't feel disgustingly full afterwards with regrets. I cannot wait to come back and get some for my family and friends. I wanted to test it out myself first prior to sharing with others. Yum! Also their classic milk was soooooo good and complimented the donuts so perfectly.“
“This is an amazing experience. Feels like they took a variety of delicious food trucks and turned them into small restaurants and added a big cafeteria to eat the food! They have everything from Caribbean, Mediterranean, ? sushi food…etc. If you’re looking for a variety of different options, you gotta try this place out ?“
“i’ve had their pastries a few times and each time they’re AMAZING. Always super moist and fresh. i’ve talked to both the guys and girl that work there, and they’re just as sweet as their desserts. The pastries are a great aesthetic instagram post too!“
“Get a delicious linch while dealing with parking tickets- DOT is right next door ?Love their turkish eggs and hubs likes their sandwiches. I adore black sesame lattes and theirs has a double shot of espresso ?Free parking in structure off of catalina when validated by them. Otherwise street parking on weekend is pretty easy too“
“Wonderful little spot in the heart of the neighborhood. Fully vegan and their drinks have a default base option of soy milk. Food is made to order and pastries are awesome— also based on availability. There is a small dog-friendly patio outback in case your furry friend wants to join you on a chill morning on the town.“
“The best bagel sandwich I’ve had yet! These bagels are not outshined by the ingredients inside like I’ve found with store-bought bagels. They’re so soft, chewy, and flavorful. The bacon egg and cheese are also delicious and filling. Store bagels have been ruined for me!“
“Love this place! Always feel welcomed by staff. Cafe has a relaxing vibe with music that makes it more like being like home chilling. Matcha Ube (Purple Haze) is one of my favorites.Parking: There’s plenty of parking, might be busy sometimes.“
“Somehow the best coffee I've ever had, every time! I'm not even sure what flavoring or espresso they use to make their drinks but it's something I'm chasing at every other coffee shop. Their sandwiches are also delicious :D family owned, everyone is great to chat with. I wish I could come here more often.“
“My go-to spot for simple french sandwiches. NEVER DISAPPOINTS! Ive had all of their meat sandwiches and their omelette sandwich. Always so good and fresh. love the crunch of the baguette with their rich butter or their gooey soft omelette. the omelette sandwich is my favorite, because i'm just an egg enjoyer and would prefer breakfast meals over lunch or dinner. I will KEEP on going back here! Also their ice pink praline latte, is a MUST TRY. not overly sweet with a nice floral scent to pair with its creaminess. this place is really a hidden gem in the neighborhood.“
“What can I say? This neighborhood sometimes doesn’t feel like home but it’s places like Joy that really help change that. First of all the cashier is attentive, the servers are friendly, fast and efficient. This place has amazing staff and food. The prices are also reasonable and their menu is relatively easy to understand. I had the joy special which came with an appetizer, small soup and a sandwich and iced tea. I chose the pork belly sandwich and it was so delicious the bread was so soft and I wanted to buy a roll of it. I also got the wonton soup which was so flavorful as well. I wasn’t a fan of the seaweed salad but everything else exceeded my expectations. I want to come back to try different menu items but this place is definitely top tier. Parking is a bit tricky but I suggest coming on a weekday when there is less people.Parking: There’s a paid lot in the back of the hardware store“
“I don’t even like doughnuts, but their matcha doughnut is really good. Their iced coffee and croissant sandwiches are also a really great pick. They always have a good variety of doughnuts to try with amazing flavors! Definitely one of the best doughnut shops in the area“
“When i saw the sign advertising the honey and butter cream puff I was intrigued and had to stop into Beard Papa's to try one.OMG it was SO good! Sweet but not too sweet. I would definitely pop into Beard Papa's again to get another one.The gentleman behind the counter was also super nice“
“We tried their dulce de leche and birthday cake ice cream flavors -- both delicious! Their fruity pebbles and oat meal cookies were both tasty as well. They make a soft texture cookie that keeps its freshness overnight. We showed up roughly 15 minutes before closing and were warmly greeted. I would recommend folks trying this place!“
“Good vibes, good coffee , great unique coffee / tea creationsWish the Ube Matcha Latte had real coconut sugar in it instead of coconut sugar syrup .. :/Realized it last minute and made me a bit disappointed and sad because i avoid sugar most of the times!Quick service.“
“Recommended. I came by. There’s a kiosk to order and a cashier. I ordered the garlic bagel they are known for and the breakfast Becky. There’s an outdoor seating area as well as indoors. They have a merchandise wall in case you want to buy anything. Also a fridge section that has drinks. The kitchen is easily viewable to see what’s going on. The bagel was great. Also the breakfast Becky with its bacon and sauce. I really liked it.“
“Aside from their amazing service, I love their bahn mi sandwiches. I've had many but there's a reason I keep coming back here for more:) Always fresh ingredients, perfectly toasted, good size and very filling. Today I paired it with their newly released Ube Latte.. highly recommend!“
“Such a cute coffee/stationery shop. I had the matcha latte with oatmilk and lightly sweetened and it was good but next time i'm getting regularly sweetened. I usually have to ask for lightly sweetened wherever I go and this time when I did, it could've used a bit more sweetener which is a good thing. This way I know they do not use too much sweetener in their drinks. The lady that ran the stationery station was so nice and helpful and she answered any questions about the pens she recommends and the paper quality of the notebooks. You can try the pens and how they write as they have a sample for each and paper to try them and I bought two pens as I love to collect pens.As far as parking, there's plenty of street parking, but I walked here from the nearby LA Historic State Park. It was nice taking a stroll through chinatown with my matcha latte and then I went back to the park to go for a walk. I would come back to this shop and try the other espresso drinks.“
“My favorite coffee place so far! Their mint chocolate iced mocha is AHMAZING!! Creamy, rich while still being able to taste the coffee. The chocolate shavings on top were also delicious and nice addition. Limited parking as all we found was street parking but that's okay. Fast service. Their nutella croissant was divine and absolutely delicious! When in LA, will definitely be back!“
“Always happy to visit a new third wave coffee joint in this part of the oc which is largely Starbucks land/doughnut shop territory. It's changing over time, there are now at least four or five third wave/Asian style coffee spots in and around Artesia. I stop through here on my drive between la and the westminster court (I'm a defense attorney).So I was here at opening (7 am), they were ready to go, washing the windows even. My cappuccino was very good, pastry options looked like the same stuff they have at all the other third wave coffee places. They had some fun sounding coffee drinks. Sitting area and bathroom situation was nice. Would return but not to eat.Vegetarian options: All of it.Dietary restrictions: VeganParking: Shopping center parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Sure.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“
“Great coffee and comfortable working space. Love the vibe here. Chill community space, not stuck up vibes like some cafes. They have nice window seating, a little couch, and tables - so lots of comfortable seating options with power outlets available.“
“I have been coming to this boba shop in ktown for a while now and it remains as one of my favorites! It is such a friendly welcoming family owned boba shop on top of their amazing drinks and snacks. Personally really enjoy their fruit teas and seriously can't forget their taiyakis. They had just come out with this coin bread that I had gotten with jalapeño cheese and it's great. It really is a gem here in ktown that everyone should give a try.“
“Best coffee shop in Hollywood, my favorites are the Filipino coffee (Ube latte) and I love their strawberry almond croissant, I recently tried their white miso glazed croissant, it was banging, love this place, hard to find a place with both great coffee and great pastries, I feel like it’s usually one or the other, but this place takes the cake. 10/10!“
“The food was tasty! Came out not even 10 Min after we ordered.( There were 3 orders before us)Fair priced for the food but drinks do seem overpriced.You can eat at the tables outside and listen to LA trafficParking: The paid parking behind the building is 3$ every 15min (limit 18$ in price) egg tuck doesn't validate but Starbucks does when you purchase (for only 30min)“
“This little spot is a straight up delight. Definitely designed to cater to treating yourself, Postres Cafe is an adorable little spot located in downtown Bellflower. While the food comes with a slightly hefty price tag, the quality is worth it. Came in on a Thursday morning, there was one person behind the counter who functioned as a cashier, barista, and server. They did an excellent job and were very sweet. I ordered a Cinnamon Crunch Latte and a breakfast bagel, not entirely sure what to expect. Cinnamon Crunch Latte: Really smooth espresso, with enough milk to mellow the flavor without losing it. It was sweet without being overwhelming, and had lots of rich cinnamon notes. It was tasty and I can share I have the best caffeine buzz right now. Breakfast Bagel: Don't come expecting a bagel with cream cheese, this isn't your typical bagel. Loaded with egg, bacon, and turkey, this is a protein bomb. There is mayonnaise and shredded cheese, which was interesting and I'm not sure how I felt about it at first, but I did wonder up devouring the whole thing. Somehow it worked. Next time, I'mma splurge on the chilaquiles. Definitely recommend this spot, both for solo dining or for an early coffee date with friends. Plenty of seating and an ambiance as sweet as their postres. Go check them out.“
“I used to frequent Bambu growing up and all the ones in my area closed. I saw this spot next to the restaurant I was having dinner at and knew I was going to be getting dessert from here. If I just hadn't had a pasta dinner, I would have ordered a Chewy Pandan but I knew that would be too filling so I opted for the Jelly Coco. The Jelly Coco is coconut water based instead of coconut milk so it's more refreshing and lighter. It fruits (coconut, lychee, longan) and fun pandan and basil seed bits. I enjoyed my drink and would definitely be returning to try the Chewy Pandan. Service was quick! We were there arounf 30 minutes before closing and although there were a few people who ordered ahead of us, we still got our drinks fairly quick. The inside has very few seating so I would'nt hangout there for too long.“
“We came here a year ago and live 2 hours away we absolutely loved this wings hands down the best we have ever had and we love wings today we stopped after going to Disneyland we couldn't forget this place ❤️ Ronnie is so nice come down and try them once you will come back!Kid-friendliness: Ronnie is so friendly makes you feel welcome no matter what“
“I don't usually make it to this side of town, but I found myself in the area and was running early, so thought I'd get some breakfast. This place has good reviews, so I thought I'd give it a try, and I'm very pleased I did.I got myself a sausage, bacon, egg and cheese croissant, maple bar, and peach/mango boba. First off, everything was nice and fresh. The croissant was hot, the maple bar had just come out and was still warm (and possibly the best maple bar I've ever eaten, and I've had quite a few), and the boba creamy and tasty.Getting back to the croissant, I was surprised that the sausage wasn't your typical ground sausage patty, but an actual sausage link, and it was incredible. I'm going to have a hard time going back to the typical style sausage almost everywhere else seems to use.If that wasn't enough to sell you on this place, I have to mention the service. I came in at a busy time (7:30am, so the morning rush) and all three people working were very pleasant, attentive and friendly to the customers, and quick to fulfill orders. Next time I find myself in this side of town, I'm definitely coming back!“
“I was in the area for a tire and in desperate need of coffee. I asked the barista which to get and they recommended the horchata latte, I got it with half the sweetener, iced and it was perfect. I even splurged and got a the tomato & mozzarella empanada (also recommend by the barista) chefs kiss! Came with a chipotle sauce of some kind and so fresh. I also opted for the spinach, egg and cheese empanada which was also delicious. Will definitely be back when in the area.“
“We mobile ordered here and had about a 15 minute wait at 9:30ish. The inside has some nice but limited seating. It is definitely a place I would plan to order ahead just in case, it’s very busy! The coffee options themselves were very good! Their pastries also looked amazing. We really enjoyed the Vienna and buttercream drink, very nutty and sweet!“
“This place is great. The coffee is good. The beans they sell are fresh and great. The pastries are good. There's seating. There's parking. The people who work here are super nice and remember regular customers' orders. No notes. It's perfect. Go.“
“It was my first going, and the ambience was nice and the service was AMAZING. The worker was super helpful and helped my sister and I choose a drink, I went with the lavender bloom latte (iced) and it was phenomenal, the cold foam was really good and the lavender flavor was delicious, not perfumey or soapy like other places lavender drinks. I will definitely be returning soon.“
“Food was amazing. Had the Cali scramble and the fried chicken and pancakes. The guy who greeted us at first was very nice. After that, the service was sub par. Food got there and we didn’t have silverware. Then the waitress never came back to check on us. I asked for a coffee refill and she forgot. Had to ask someone else afterwards.Maybe it was just of off day for them. Food wise, fantastic. Would definitely return.“
“Came to Guerrilla Cafecito to get some cafe with my brother. We got coffee and some breakfast burrito. The burrito was really good and the customer service was really good also. The guy that took our order was very friendly. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to friends and family.“
“My first time here. The menu had so many choices. The chicken and waffles was a full chicken breast cooked perfectly and seasoned well. My ham steak sandwich on sourdough was perfect. Don’t forget to add tots. The hostess Bailey was very charming and delightful. They have a pretty big vegan menu “
“I passed by this spot everyday for work and checked it out.I had their shakerato and it was delicious, I asked them to make it less sweet and it was perfect. A solid morning drink to get you started for the day.I’d definitely come back again and try their other menu items.“
“K Food All You Can Eat is located in many places nearby. It is located on the main street and has a small parking lot at the back. I ordered a black sesame latte and it was better than I expected. I came here after recommending it to a friend.This is where it happened. We have a cafe spirit of making 100% all-natural drinks and food with the taste of mom's hands :)“
“I love when I'm in an area that I don't frequent & search 'coffee near me' always brings me to the right places! I ordered the vanilla bean cold brew ($6.50) l loved the cold foam being made in front of my eyes- the barista recommended that I take a few sips without the lid to taste the coffee & cold foam, this was absolutely amazing! They get their pasties delivered from Nonna Mercado & I've been dying to try their pastries, the Choffle was seriously divine ($4.75) Nice crunch on the outside and soft chewy inside, this was such a treat paired with the coffee I ordered. Service is very sweet, overall vibe of this space is very quiet & quaint, I can see this being a great study spot. I came on a Friday morning. When I'm in the area I'd drop by again & definitely would recommend to others! Coffee is my self care & I truly appreciate the days when I can come & treat myself & try new places. This was a lovely experience.“
“It truly doesn’t get any better than this. Great free parking in the back (even though you have to share with bank customers so it might be tough to find a spot), ambient atmosphere, clean bathrooms, gorgeous setup( especially for working), friendly baristas, affordable, and delicious pour over. My must-stop go-to whenever i’m in Koreatown.???“
“I could wax poetic about this place forever. Their flavors are insane. Plenty of Vegan options. They've got the classics as well as unique, sometimes seasonal flavors that don't taste artificial at all and does gelato justice. You can always expect a new exciting flavor, even if you're a regular. And the workers are always so kind and don't make you feel rushed to decide what you want.Skip the chains on this street (salt & straw, win-dow, mashti's are yuck in comparison) and support a local business! They've been here for 17+ years and are beloved by the locals <3Vegetarian options: They have a lot of vegan flavorsDietary restrictions: They have a lot of vegan flavors“
“First time going to pops Cafe, you must go very early to get a table or the wait can be up to an hr. The place is very small but comfortable. Food is decent for the price, except the coffee is overpriced and the children breakfast too. A small cup of coffee $3.50 and children breakfast $7.95, the portion was small, the juice tiny.I had the vegetarian omelette which I forgot to let them know no black olives and was full of it. Also the American cheese on top didn't gave a good presentation. I would rather had pepper jack or provolone cheese melted, but that's my preference. The pancakes I believe were the best, big and tasty, but if you order other than plain butter pancakes you get charged an extra $2.00 (did not disclosed at time of ordering). Would I go back? Yes but I would ask as many questions possible before ordering and would only go with adults, as is not convenient for a family of 4 (2 adults 2children) to go there because is more expensive ($74) than Denny's. Customer service was great.“
“Their regular coffee is single origin. But im always to nervous to ask where its from. Their espresso has that fermented flavor. But if it isnt fermented then I can only describe the flavor as a central coast flavor style. Its a complex espresso. Then I tried the spanish latte and it was alright. Nothing major. I would give this place a try if youre looking to find some central coast style flavors here in Norwalk.“
“I had their Tiramisu cake slice. Kinda dry. Staff was more interested in having their own conversations than taking my order. I felt like I waited forever but probably was more like 5 minutes for them to finally take my order. I also had their chocolate chip cookies. Definitely delicious.“
“Great coffee house!!!You definitely need to check it out.I got the lavender latte and a fresh baked cookie and wow what an experience! I loved this place so much I came back the next day too!The lavender latte is super calming and yummy.Kris your barista is super great at spinning all the best rock and roll music and 90s grunge. Please don't ever change the music here!????I will definitely be back anytime I am in town.“
“I'm a matcha nerd, and this is my favorite matcha spot in all of LA. The service is fast, kind, and thorough. The drinks are the star- creative menu and quality ingredients used. I was so impressed when the employees remembered me after ONE visit! They make such a point to make you feel welcome and loved. Overall, 10/10. I've never worked here, but it seems like a great place to study, as well!“
“As a Taiwanese person who grew up in boba land, I can tell you that the boba milk tea is pretty good. It's more towards milky end instead of rich tea flavor ones. Their original recipe is not too sweet so there's no point to adjust the sweetness. Or just ask the owner to make his favorite ratio. You should totally give it a try. (I cannot endorse other items as I just tried one product)“
“a nice, refreshing place to get your ice tea fix! chun yang is located in a small plaza with a parking lot. i came on a thursday afternoon and there weren't many spots available. there is street parking nearby if you can't get a spot in the plaza. i got the honey osmanthus oolong tea, their #1 popular drink. i appreciated the server, who was very knowledgeable about the drinks and their sweetness levels. i got my drink at 50% sweetness, and it was still super sweet, so 25% is probably best if you don't like your drink tasting like sugar syrup. the tea, however, was the best part since it was strong and refreshing! this is a small shop, so don't expect any tables to hang out in here. there is a bench to sit and wait for your order, but that's all for seating. there is a public restroom for customers. overall, great place for a refreshing and strong tea drink. the quality of the tea was great, and it is perfect for a hot day.“
“Honestly , today the service was great!Usually there is more girls there working and they don't focus nor have great service.the orders take forever to prepare.But today was a game changer, majority were men and they were on top of their game.Focused and doing their jobs , drinks and food were flying out quickly ?they were so attended to customers.Please keep this environment and service“
