Not to take anything away from the service or atmosphere because they were also superb! The Swedish pancakes were just like my mother made on special occasions and the scone was so moist it didn’t even need butter! Most of the people in there were regulars. I’ll definitely be back often!“

“We had the pleasure of working with Chef Z Catering this past Sunday, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service was exceptional. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly attentive to every detail.

The food was absolutely phenomenal--beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared and perfectly suited to the occasion. Guests are still talking about the meal days later!

Chef Z and the staff were also a joy to work with: friendly, flexible, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and they helped create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

If you're looking for top-tier catering with a personal touch, Chef Z is the one to call. We're already looking forward to our next event with them!“

“I like my coffee how I like myself: tall,
dark, sweet, gorgeous and too hot for you. Lol. :D Let’s begin this exciting review.

EXPRESS Coffee shop is a local charming cafe on a midsize plaza in Glendale. They offer a breadth of coffee and tea drinks (hot or iced), pastries and food. Its lovely interior wall decor of giant jungle leaves emits a relaxing atmosphere. Moreover, their indoor and outdoor seats were very comfy in an open layout. I was in search for a new cafe adventure in the area; I came on a 90 degree afternoon to grab a drink. I ordered a Cold Brew and Iced Coffee. Both were really, really good.

Staff were cordial and professional. Service was spot on. Prices were competitive and march the quality of their drinks. Free wifi and parking. Collectively, this cafe is great spot for people-watching, chill with your laptop, and unwind with good vibe.

Overall, I had a great experience and truly enjoyed their refreshing cold drinks. I was filled with joy! I recommend this local cafe.“

“I grew up in Glendale so I known Mitzee’s for at least 15-20 years!! Your Chef AKA ( your cook ) has been there if not mistaken the same amount of time. Food taste and presentation has been the same since the first time I had it, their hot sauce it’s AMAZING! if you love spicy, if you don’t have high tolerance for spicy stay away or have just a little lol. I know leave in Downtown and when passing by Glendale I make it a stop…“

“I walked in thinking this boutique was a cafe but left with a lovely Nespresso machine after taste testing some delicious coffee! I was curious about the drinks and thanks to Jessica I had a wonderful experience. I honestly had no idea the difference between any of the machines or how they operated but she broke it down for me and helped me pick the ideal choice for my preference. Jess was soo sweet and patient throughout the whole process. Highly recommend. I’m so excited to try out my new Nespresso machine 🤩“
