“Hidden gem! Traffic diverted me to Salt Lake Dr and passed by this bakery. It looked shady because the sign was just painted, automatic barbed wired fencing. But many good pastries inside. The best was pecan tart pie. Prices are good too. It might become a habit passing by on one way to work.“
“Hands down the best cookies I've had. Discovered this not even 30 days ago and have been here 3 times at 3 different locations. This was my 3rd cookie plug experience. Pink elephant is my fave. Bam bam is second. The s'mores and chocolate chip warmed up (as well as the others) is the way to go. Fast service and the mobile app has some good first time deals as well as weekly / daily deals. Worth a check and the interior decor and vibe is on point with the branding.“
“Its a beautiful cosy place, takes you back in time. The cakes, as you can see in the video look delicious (didn't try one though).We had the lemon pancakes which were AMAZING, also the breakfast burrito which was really delicious as well and very filling. Their coffees were also flavourful and strong.Lastly, salmon with potato pancakes..which I personally didn't really like.. they had a funny taste.. quite soggy.. something about the salmon? Or the eggs? I didn't understand but unfortunately has a weird and not good taste.“
“AMAZING Expect waiting outside, party of 2 was 20-25 min Saturday afternoon and cannot call in to be added to it. Everything on the menu is great but the French toast, pork belly fried rice, and strawberry tea were the best. Limited seating and one restroom but highly recommend.“
“"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.“
“I must have died and gone to doughnut heaven. The donut texture is fluffy with a pleasant slight chew, and not oily or too sweet for the most part. Most were priced $4-5 each but I find it worth it for the quality of the ingredients.Our favorites are the misugaru (roasted soybean) because it's mild and nutty and has a chewy filled mochi inside. The black sesame is also intensely nutty with a chewy mochi inside too. My wife loves the sweet potato cream the most because it has fresh sweet potato puree along with milk cream, and it's the Korean/Japanese sweet potato that's delightfully sweet and nutty.Tiramisu had plenty of rich cocoa powder accompanying the tangy cream (probably cream cheese mixed in it?). The bitterness of the cocoa was the best together with the cream.The strawberry milk cream had a small amount of strawberry pieces but the cream was so milky rich yet light at the same time. The blueberry one is the exact same except with a few blueberries so I slightly prefer the strawberry one.Matcha creme brulee had strongly flavored matcha cream but I'm not too much of a fan of the sugar crust top. I might still try the regular creme brulee next time to compare the regular custard.Our least favorite was the apple cinnamon because the icing was too sweet but the presentation was beautiful with the pieces of apple inside.We saw quite a line build up after us at 10am so I'd come early since they open at 9am until they sell out! The parking lot is nice and big so it wasn't any trouble finding parking. The mall also has other interesting stalls like a kimbap and udon one if you need some savory to offset the sweet.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Treat Yourself Keto, and it was an exceptional experience! As a first-time visitor, I was greeted by the owner, who was incredibly friendly and helpful in recommending dishes. I decided to try the Linda Melt, and it was easily one of the best burgers I've had in a long time – flavorful, juicy, and utterly satisfying. I also indulged in the Carne Asada Nachos, which were not only delicious but also impressively keto-friendly with fresh ingredients that clearly showed the owner’s dedication and love for her food.The highlight of my visit was the churro cheesecake, a delightful dessert that stole my heart! It's evident that Treat Yourself Keto places a strong emphasis on quality and taste, making it a standout in the keto food scene. As I'm in town for work, finding this gem was a highlight, and I’m eagerly planning my next visit before heading home. If you’re looking for an amazing keto dining experience, support this wonderful business – you won’t regret it!“
“Literally EVERYTHING is incredible! Lots of love and care put into each item. Tatiana and her husband are super passionate about serving delicious and nutritious food to their visitors. The lox bagel, brioche French toast and cinnamon roll are just a couple of the fantastic, drool inducing items. Can’t wait to come back to LA!!“
“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.“
“I probably come here more often than I should. Its definitely not good for my health and calorie intake but the cookies here are just so damn good. I love how they switch the flavors every week so you don't get bored. Everything I've tried has been solid. No complaints.“
“This is a solid spot for lunch, baked goods, and pantry items (sauces, dressings, cookies, etc.) The shakahuka can’t be missed, and the same goes for the Ho Barcelona sandwich. ? I’ve come through here many times throughout the years, and everything I’ve ordered has been from really good to great.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian sandwiches, quiches, and other lunch items.“
“Love their speciality drinks and fun breads and pastries. I got the curry pan and the strawberry sakura latte and both were really good. The floral and berry flavors worked nicely with the coffee but the sakura flavor wasn’t super strong. Pretty centrally located in Little Tokyo and the staff are really nice.There were a few tables inside but I took my order to go.“
“1903... wow. A friend bought a box of mochi here and I was able to try some. I'm not big on mochi since I'm just so so with red bean filling, which is most common. The mochi was pillowy soft though. I'm glad I got to try it from this place. If you're looking for mochi in Sacramento, Osaka-Ya is just as good!“
“Visited this bakery for the first time last week. Small bakery can easily be missed if you don't know it's there. Service/ambiance was ok, didn't feel super welcoming..... service needs a little improvement. Maybe some light music might help, just a little friendly suggestion. Not sure about parking, I parked right in front of the bakery. Baked goods were awesome. We got a confetti cupcake, churro cupcake, red velvet cupcake, Oreo brownie and a cold Spanish latte. EVERYTHING was so good especially the latte..... I will definitely return to this bakery. Cupcakes were perfect, not too sweet.“
“since walking into the store i was greeted with warming customer service from the employees, along with my cookies being really well made with fullfilling my expectations on this weeks cookies!Parking: the parking lot can be full at time to time, be sure to always consider other parking lots around the plaza since crumble cookie is only a tab bit of walking distance from other stores!“
“Tiny little bakery, in little Tokyo specializing in Asian baked goods. It was packed so I didn't look at everything they had, but they had plenty of good looking sweet stuff to ruin your Hollywood diet. I just grabbed snacks to take on my travels. I snagged a bag of melon pan and it looks and taste just like anime told me it would. Also got a couple steamed buns, sadly they were sold out of anko, but I got pork and curry. Haven't tried those yet, but the melon pan got me excited for them.“
“I work in the nearby bank so often walk to Sasoun for lunch or brunch if on an early shift. The bakery is piled high with delicious Armenian food that smells and tastes fantastic. The potato borek is my favorite order but all of the veggie food I have tried is very good. They always look after me so well.“
“I came here on a Thursday so it wasn't too crowded. Stopped by before heading to the AngelCity Market. I tried the Yuzu Jasmine Lemonade, Cheese & Spicy Peppers Potato Ball and the Chicken Torta. All very delicious!Parking: The parking structure is behind Portos and it's good for 2hr parking as long as you're a customer.“
“Delicious cheesecakes.I've been there twice.We've tried Cookies & Cream and pecan with chocolate sauce. It's advertised as caramel. However, it's dark and doesn't taste like caramel.I scrape it off and use my own syrup.That's my only gripe about that particular cheesecake.I would recommend people try them.**I would also love for them to have more flavors available.“
“Amazing and kind sponsor! Damon and the team went above and beyond to support our org's show this year. They carefully packaged 200 pcs of baked goods on the day of. Our members and audience absolutely loved the financiers and french cookies! Can't wait to go back and try the other treats :)“
“What a delightful bakery and coffee shop! I stumbled upon this gem looking around Chinatown for some boba. Their drinks are on the steeper side but they are so good!! Even the cups are cute. I saved my cup after the boba cause the quality of it is so well made that I have to use it again. For 2 milk tea bobas it was $11.They specialize in custom cakes and had a few on display that were mind blowing. The Hello Kitty goth cake was next level.You can find baked treats, custards, mini cakes, and snow ice here ☺️?There’s some seating inside and along the window a few tables and chairs. It’s a delightful spot to look out and gaze at busy Chinatown.Parking is available along the streets in metered spots.Everyone working there was super nice and the service was fast despite the line.“
“I wanted to eat a good burger and fries so I went with my sister and we had a great luncheon. I ordered the burger special with cheddar cheese avocado grilled onions pickle with fries and black tea omg now I am gonna take a nap..I did order the chocolate chocolate cake to go..yummy delicious lunch“
“Best service ever. I bought a cake for my daughter birthday and after the family tasted it we are using El Mana for every special occasion cake from now on. I was greeted by a lovely young lady named Linda and her mother Elba and their service and attention blew me away. Great family.“
“Last minute search for a breakfast/brunch type spot and found Marin Cafe. It's located in an area off of Rosmead that shares a small parking lot with Zapien's Salsa Grill. It is a small lot but there's parking on the other side. I went while it was raining in the morning around 9 so it was pretty empty. The cafe is a small shop with 3 four-seater tables so not good for huge groups. But the decor was really cute and cozy. A mix of cafe and small bakery. Love the painted walls with the cake and bakery items painted on. There was a large display case of various bakery good from conchas, to croissants, to cakes and cake slices. Everything looked so good. Brisa (I hope I didn't spell her name incorrectly, apologies!) was our barista and she was lovely. Very friendly and let us take our time, she answered my bf's questions about the food. We chatted here and there and then placed our orders with her. She kept us updated on our food as they made the wrong sandwich for me and needed to remake it which was no problem and appreciated. The food was delicious! We ordered a concha, with an Abuelita hot latte, a mocha hot latte, breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich. Recommend the Abuelita hot latte for sure, perfect on a rainy cold day. The chocolatey spice from the Abuelita was so good with the espresso, the mocha was great as well great blend of chocolate and coffee. Now the breakfast sandwich was bomb, presentation and taste were great. Eggs were hot and fluffy, bacon crispy, with ham, and refreshing tomato avocado and lettuce with a honey mustard type sauce. It also came with a side of potato salad, pickles and banana peppers. The potato salad is EXACTLY how I like it, not mayonnaise-y and sweet. Brekfast burrito was nice and filling too, bf said he'd definitely add bacon next time as mine was crispy in my sandwich hash browns were crispy and the creamy lime cilantro sauce was so good with it. I also ordered a slice of the mocha tres leches cake...so good not overly sweet and mocha wasn't too strong. The cake was overly saturated with milk which I would've like but it had the right amount of moistness so not to make it soggy. All in all definitely reccomend this little gem of a cafe. Owners and staff are all friendly and the food and drinknwere fantastic. Definitely coming back for more cake!“
“People that give low star reviews to places because “the line is too long” or “I couldn’t find parking” are annoying. Are you expecting a coffee shop to be empty in the morning??The drinks and food are great, the staff is friendly. 5 stars.“
“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.“
“This is where my mom would get banh mis for us when I was little and I just recently re-discovered them! The #1 Thit Nguoi or cold cuts is my version of THEE traditional banh mi. There's no where else you need to go. The fresh bread is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. When you order, you can choose from the football shape or the baguette shaped bread. Scratch pate, cold cuts, daikon, carrots, cilantro, and thinly shaved jalapeños. Service is straightforward and fast! Corner store vibes but Vietnamese :) Parking is also plentiful. Ugh my heart is so happy!!“
“My go-to for sweets! Staff are welcoming and friendly. Communication for cake ordering went smoothly. Best of all, my mom loved her birthday cake! Thank you! Highly recommend Sugar From the Heart! I just added the cake topper purchased from etsy :)“
“If you are a turkey tail fan then get them here. You have to be familiar with eating them or open to trying them once. They're pretty fatty but the flavor and tenderness justifies eating them.The rest of the menu is like a home cooked meal. The bakery is exceptional for its baked goods especially their freshly baked bread. Service is great, with much "aloha".“
“I love this place. It's charming, it's delicious and a spot for locals to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee. Parking is hard to find to be honest, at all times of day. I believe it's the locals who live close by that walk here that frequent Figaro. We were lucky enough to find parking on a Tuesday morning most recently. We ordered pasta, a hot chocolate and a coffee. My favorite time of day to eat here is evening. The inside of the bistro is gorgeous, and makes me feel like I'm in Paris. It's old and full of charm. The service is great, and we receive our orders fairly fast. Definitely check this place out, but Uber if you can.“
“The drinks came out so fast despite the line. Got Vienna latte and strawberry matcha. Both drinks were amazing. Liked the sweet foam on top of the Vienna latte. Never tasted anything like the strawberry matcha before, now it became my favorite drink. Highly recommended!“
“One of my favorite eateries in the world. I’m from France and this is one of the few places that is as indulgent as home with their baked goods. They made me a beautiful birthday cake years ago despite an unusual flavor request. Their biscuit-bun burger is delicious and the terrace is an awesome cozy spot to hang out. A must try if you’re in the area!“
“Great coffee shop, good coffee. I got a pour over of their Kenyan blend. Was very good. Will return to try their other drinks. Few seating options but given the size of the space, it's understandable. The staff was very friendly as well.“
“This bakery was doing free, Easter cookie decorating kits for the kids. The presentation for the kids was really above and beyond but the real gem was the gentleman behind the counter. He was super nice and interacted with the kids in a really great way. I can’t wait to come back here again.“
“Delicious lava cream and a nice fresh flaky mooncake that reminds me of hopia from the Philippines! The ube mooncake/hopia was also so good and fresh! The ube paste filling is fresh and smooth, which I gotta say actually beats the Filipino ube hopia! Only little comment is that the ube mooncakes are much smaller compared to the lava filled mooncakes. Will definitely be coming back here!!! ?“
“I'm not even vegan or gluten-free, I just love the food! The first time I stopped by was for a party I was having and I wanted sweets for people with various dietary restrictions. I wasn't even home before I decided to try one. It was so good, I had to call them and let them know how much I loved it!From what I've heard from other bakeries is... you can do vegan and make it good, or you can do gluten-free and make it good, but it's really tricky to get both together and make it taste right. But Cake Girl makes it taste right! Rich and moist and not too "fake".I refer friends here all the time, and although I normally avoid eating too many sweets, I do love stopping by on occasion for a treat!I love the location and everyone there is really nice!“
“This is such a cute and cozy place! I came here for a casual chat and hangout with my friend and ordered a hot chocolate chai milk tea and a warmed cheddar jalapeño scone. Both were insanely delicious ? Service was a little lacking, especially compared to what I read in others' reviews, but I'll definitely be back for more!“
“First time here and they nailed it. Got the Bolognese sauce, very tasty and the pasta, curly long ones, were excellent. The wine did not really pair with the red sauce, a Spanish dry red...Water next time perhaps. Will definitely return to this spot! The bread was very tasty ....after we had them cut it for us.“
“I ordered cake from this bakery solely based off Yelp reviews and they did NOT disappoint. I ordered a 2 tier'd round with rhinestones at the base for my mom's 60th birthday! I will admit, I was shocked when I came to pick up the cake and it was was given to me with no top, transporting was tricky even with a passenger! Needless to say, we made it to our destination w/2 tiers in tact and ready to be decorated by our florist! My top tier was chocolate and bottom was marble. It was moist & delicious for DAYS after. My family usually orders from Torrance Bakery, but Joyce will be our new bakery home!“
“Delicious cookies. The weekly rotation has you waiting for the next "drop". The servers are always receptive and pleasant.The shops are bare basic and strictly business. Clean, neat and the displays are helpful. I get every cookie that isn't chocolate, and I'm never disappointed. Only con, the price point is a little high.“
“NO CASH ACCEPTED HERE -- first thing to know if you're coming here A pretty, little cafe that serves beautiful sandwiches that are as great to eat as they are to look at. My friend and I both ordered our own sandwiches and they each came with a nice side salad. Both dishes came with VERY fresh ingredients and I've been craving to return since I first tried it Smoked salmon bahn mi - 10/10. It was so tasty even though it wasn't anything like what a traditional bahn mi is like. The lettuce and mint used in the sandwich were crunchy and super fresh and the pickled jalapeños used added a nice dimension to the sandwich Side salad - 8/10. I would have enjoyed it more but it was much too drenched with oil/lemon (not sure what they use here. It was good regardless but the dressing used was overwhelming)“
“Kevin (Owner) takes the utmost pride in his coffee and the experience of his customers. Give yourself a little extra time / patience for parking but make the effort to indulge yourself in this amazing gem in Silverlake. Totally worth it.Kid-friendliness: I always encourage talking to your barista. Never complain if you don’t speak up. I guarantee that if your drink or food isn’t what you expected they will make it right. Enjoy!“
“I came here to try the cakes. We got the sampler box and was so impressed with the cakes itself. They were extremely tasty, flavorful and rich with flavor. The service was great. It was a small little place with some seating outside. There is also a coffee shop next door if you want to grab some coffee to eat with your cake. We really liked the ube cake, black sesame, Belgian chocolate and lavender lemon.“
“I love these cuties called senorita bread! These sweet buttery breads are the best to share my culture and taste with everyone I share it to! I bring these for potlucks and always get asked where to buy them! Also these are highly addicting! The line may get long but it's very tolerable and the ladies are so welcoming and nice!“
“Very simple place but very nice selection of Mochi. Reminded me when I was a kid. Remember only Cash and Checks had to go across the street to the market to get cash. They are going to make a great present for our neighbors who just went to Japan on vacation.“
“One my favorite place in Downtown to get a freshly made sandwich with oven fresh bread, great salads and many choices of an excellent dessert and a better deal than other places. With good prices, Hygge Bakery is nice new, clean, stylish, popular but uncrowded. The only down side is the name, which takes too much effort to tell people about, repeating and spell the name that no American can spell or remember.“
“Super friendly service! After 20 years since my first time, they STILL have $1 salad. Nothing has changed. I love that about this place. It's like a little family. It's very hard for me to pick pasta since i am not familiar with the names, but every time i pick something (always different), it comes out good. Would always come back to this. Plus, there is an ARMY cashier here. IYKYK. ?“
“I had the most delicious pastries here. The pies are insane. As are the buns and muffins . Sure it's a bit pricey but this is a small business that needs major volume to drop prices. Ish is amazing and passionate about his treats - it really shows!! loves it.“
“It’s an amazing over all experience. Great to take a group of friends to share the experience with and the food share style is fun . The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is amazing . The atmosphere is a cool chill vibe that is welcoming and it matches its cool aesthetics“
“We recently had the pleasure of using this bakery for our Dia de Los Muertos work event. The service we received was phenomenal. The Tamales and Pan de Muerto was the best we have had. The Tamales were brought to our event warm and ready to be served. The ordering process was fast and easy and the delivery was made right on schedule. I was also lucky to get one of the small cheesecakes to try and let me just say it was amazing. Customer Service is top notch and we love patronizing family businesses. Thank you so much La Princesa for adding your amazing bread and Tamales to our event.“
