“I had heard about this place from friends, so I decided to head down and check it out. I got caught in traffic so when I got there, the sign in the door said closed. However, one of the owners saw me staring forlornly at his window and opened the door to wave me in. I walked out with a huge bag of goodies. Everything I took home was fantastic! I'm now a regular customer. I definitely recommend Gio's for their food and for the friendly way they treat their customers!“
“For all espresso snobs, it's legit! I was pleasantly surprised. I got a latte. Never get syrups or sugar and very balanced and smooth. Interesting notes. Really nice. Milk was great texture and temperature. I don't live close but anytime I'm in the area I know where I'm going. Just leaving this review so anyone else who is a coffee snob can also find a good coffee.Vegetarian options: Vegan cookie was really nice“
“Just a cute little place with delicious cakes, baked goods, porcelain decor and a very sweet owner to greet you. If you like fresh pastries that aren't overly sweet then this is a great spot to grab a few things. Definitely going back for the creamy butter bread. Yum!“
“This bakery is located inside a supermarket towards the left hand side. Their pastries look beautiful, and those remind me of French pastries. Cashier was friendly, and she recommended popular items for us to try. I ordered almond croissant and americano. The americano is decent, and no sour after taste, which is what I like. Almond croissant tasted amazing. The pastry was crispy and fluffy. It was not too sweet that perfect for me. The pastries might be a little pricy, but the portion is pretty big. It is worth it to me. I will be back to try more different pastries.“

“The baristas at Constellation really know their stuff! Coffee is consistently excellent. I've been going here for a few years and it's always a treat to start my day with a cappuccino, cortado, or grenade (pomegranate + coffee). Drinks are never too sweet either. Pour overs and espresso are always good as well - the beans are high quality and roasted to perfection. Seating inside is cozy and the staff are so friendly!“
“Our family enjoyed a delicious and beautifully decorated chocolate mousse layer cake for Easter. The cake was moist and very chocolaty and the mousse in between the layers made it decadent. I also highly recommend the chocolate cupcakes with miniature Oreos on top. We get them for birthday parties because both adults and kids love them. This local bakery is the BEST.“
“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.“
“Kind of hidden away in the slightly shady feeling streets south of Hollywood Blvd is this gorgeous cafe/restaurant.If the weather's nice try to get a table outside, otherwise inside is just lovely.Apart from the awesome breads, the salads and sandwiches are amazing. Try the grains bowl for something filling, healthy and delicious! The service is super friendly and intrusive, just the way it should be.Highly recommended.“
“Where else are you going to get your Zhengyalov Hatz?!Where else can you go that the only question the cashier asks is "how many?"This place is just selling their one herby thing, and damn do they know how to make it. A nice quick pre-movie snack“
“The doughnuts here are very interesting and unique. They are pretty good a little busy and definitely bougie. I would recommend giving them a try. They are very pretty but they have a lot going on. The s'more doughnut was quite delicious.“
“"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.“
“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.“
“In search of a good french pastry place in the LA area so drove here to try it. Overall 3.5/5 Mixed Berry Tart 4.5/5 Strawberry Pistachio Croissant 4/5 Butter Croissant 4/5 Kouign Amann - 2/5 If you live in the area, definitely a good pastry store that's close to home.“
“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.“
“Try to get here as early as you can! I got here probably at 9.40 AM-ish. Definitely a pricey pastry BUT worth to try (and come back to). Probably one of the best croissants I’ve ever had in LA. Flake to perfection, inside is very buttery soft and fluffy. Atmosphere is very cozy and nice to work.“
“- Highly recommend! Excellent overall experience. Great prices. Great cubano sandwich. Clean and lively atmosphere. No pestering for tips on payment screen. Friendly service.- The only constructive criticism is that they delivered every item we bought (bread, drinks, sandwich, croissant role) apart by about 2-3 minutes (annoying). I'd prefer you just bring everything all at once.“
“They have very delicious pastries and sandwiches…. Sheessh! The service was very good and welcoming and the effort was very amazing. This place has a deli too next time will try but the sandwiches came with a lot of fresh ingredients and very tasty too. Awesome selection of flavors. The cookies and cakes are bomb too!“
“Cookies like no other! I love the excitement of checking the weekly menu every Sunday and seeing the big reveal. I went to the location in Cerritos for the first time while my car was being serviced and have been back at least 3 times. So satisfying!! Waiting to see what’s available next week!“
“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.“
“Cute outdoor cafe with delicious scones and tea. My party had a variety of flavors and everyone enjoyed their choices. My favorites are the matcha white chocolate , ube coconut and chocolate chip. The options for vegetarian sandwiches and vegan/gluten free scones were yummy and appreciated.“
“Everything time you come down to Griffins Observatory you have to came to The Trails for there few goodies especially their lavender shortbread cookie! That's what we ordered and Avocado Sandwich. Their sandwiches are bountiful like you can see the picture I can explain it just few words you got to come here and try it. Service are very friendly and the environment is very cute and planted seating area.“
“I highly recommend Yvonne‘s vegan kitchen. Yvonne has some of the best desserts, breads, and pastries that you can’t find anywhere else. I literally drive from Orange County all the way out to Pasadena because her desserts and bread are so amazing. Yvonne goes above and beyond and she is a very kind-hearted Soul and I would not want to put my money into any other business. Yvonne made a special birthday pie for me years ago over six years ago and I still think about it to this day. That’s how amazing it was.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free friendly“
“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.“
“Overall I really liked the look and feel of the space. I love the various spots you can sit at to enjoy a cup of matcha or coffee. I loved the light that comes through the trees and that they offer free books to read while you're there! I thought the goat cheese/spinach croissant and sweet cream matcha drink were both very delicious and would recommend trying. The only thing I would say is parking is limited so you'd most likely have to park down the street in the neighborhood. Also, there aren't a lot of tables, so it is kind of hard to eat what you ordered. For example, I came here with two friends, where we each ordered a drink and croissant... and we only had one tiny coffee table to balance everything haha. The service was good and it's dog-friendly here too. It was kind of loud when we were here, so this cafe would be a decent spot for light-reading/studying or just a place to chit-chat!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Wonderful, and super tasty! I was welcomed like family my second time visiting. Joesph has an amazing gift with people and baking! I have been back a couple times since and the yummy spinach pies, lahmajune, and good vibes have been my go to! Simple, yummy, and comfort snacking. Enjoy“
“Parking is a little challenging. The restaurant is on the corner of Jackson and another street I forget. There is a little lot but you have to come in from a different street-Not on Jackson. There are about 3 30 min parking spots right in front of the restaurant on another street which is your best bet. Inside they had a nice range of Armenian pasty and baked goods. We got a slice of the Birds Milk cake which was phenomenal. We also tried the mikado which was very interesting and good in its own way. No photos because we scoffed it down. The young lady helping us was very sweet.“
“This was the perfect size mini pies for all your cravings. Sweet & savory- love it! We purchased an order of 6 for 4 of us and left 2 for our host. Had the key lime, berry, variety of others. Didn't try savory pies but those looked yummy! We will be back“
“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.“
“Pleasant experience having lunch here today. I went along with my husband as we were doing some business in the area. The spicy cheese beorek was the highlight of our lunch although the Armenian pizza was also great. I will definitely use 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!!! ?“
“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)“
“Been coming here since I was a little girl. My dad would drive all the way from San Diego to pick up the amazing food for us. It's been years since we've headed up to this area, but today we returned and the food hasn't changed one bit! Everything was delicious, fresh, and made with love!!! The staff (the owners) were so kind and helpful! Can't wait for my next trip!!!!“
“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.“
“Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out this bakery and it exceeded my expectations. The pastries were simply delicious and fresh. But what truly made the experience really great was the friendly and attentive staff. They greeted me with warm smiles and had excellent customer service. Overall, I highly recommend Art's bakery. Thank you!“
“This was 1 of the bests meals we had in a long time. The meat was tender and full of favor. every dish was unique and amazing in its own way... the service was friendly and knowledgeable and the drinks were delicious If I could give this place more stars I would... just phenomenal!“
“Ordered the 12" Square famous Strawberry Whipped Crème cake for our monthly office birthday celebrations-- and it was a total hit for 40 sweet tooth employees (serves up to 50 I think). Very fresh and sweet fruits and the whipped crème was light and delicious. Cake also moist and just a touch of sweet. Easy to cut but it's a very tall cake so needed help to keep the slices in tact haha I was in awe watching the owner (?) freestyle write a birthday message on the cake with such ease. Very kind staff (even made sure we wanted the nuts on the outside out of concern for any food allergies). Would order again for sure and look forward to trying more of their confections!“
“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.“
“My bff brought home 2 vegan pan dulces from here, they were tasty , but not mind blowing. Props & blessings to Them though for making vegan items . I had a pumpkin empanada & concha type pan: too dry imo. I'll recommend cuz they're vegan, but I won't purchase or travel here. Can't opine on the price or parking or staff as I didn't visit the site.“
“The food is so tasty and fresh! Their Ube Cheesecake didn't disappoint and I can taste the Ube afterwards. The Ube Latte is great along with a bit of a Latte Art! And the lady at the counter was kind, patient and helpful!l The inside of this coffee shop is adorable and found this decorative piece tucked away in the back ...“
“Highly recommend coffee spot and really dog friendly! Coffee was really good ordered the dirty paws coffee and it was perfect. Seating was really nice but parking is fairly difficult considering the don't have public parking Overall definitely recommend“
“This location is rather new. They have no public restrooms but great parking options. The location was nice and line moved quickly. They only had one line open for ordering which caused a little line. We got the raspberry heart cookie, lemon iced and the heart sprinkle sugar. They were a little undercooked but still tasty. This is more like a self serve. The gal that gave us are order was really nice. Ten out of ten recommend downloading the app. They have great deals on the app.“
“Fans of scone!! You must come here!! This place has some of the best scones in LA. Crispy on the outside and plush and buttery on the inside. The rosemary fig flavor is to die for! I also tried the earl grey, which could have had a stronger earl grey flavor but it's all good. I can also report that they make a solid cappuccino, which I think is very telling of good coffee in general. The vibes of this place are perfect for meeting someone or working/studying. There is lots of seating inside and a beautiful patio with lots of seating outside too. It has the ambiance of a quaint bookstore without having any books. Service was great.“
“Wanted a non-chain savory breakfast and Miracle Bakery popped up. Super nice owner has a sparkling clean,adorable corner bakery across from my motel. I ordered a breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese,lettuce, avocado) with brewed coffee for $10. Can't beat the taste, quality or service.Vegetarian options: Ordered the breakfast sandwich, very good, just skip meat. There are a couple other choices.“
“I couldn't have been happier with our wedding cake! It was exactly like the reference photo and so delicious. I was having doubts about the other cake we had booked elsewhere so I canceled and two weeks before. I almost just gave up and ordered a cake from Costco and then I found Takes the Cake and thankfully they were still taking orders. They were kind, easy to order from and clearly did an amazing job bringing my vision to life! Everyone at my wedding loved the cake. It was perfect.“
“I wish I could give this place 10 stars! Just an incredible experience. The owner, Sam, was a delight from the start. As first timers, we had no idea what to order and were a bit overwhelmed with the gigantic menu! Sam and his wife Fabiola were extremely patient, breaking down each of the dishes and recommending his favorite dishes. Ultimately we went with the zaatar wrap.“It’s big,” Sam warned us with a smile.“I think i’ll be ok and can finish it,” I laughed.Boy was I wrong, LOL. The zaatar wrap is MASSIVE. I could only manage half of it, and I was starving. And it was only $13! I’ve had smaller sandwiches in LA for 16. It’s the best deal ever!After our very yummy and generous meal, Sam approached us and asked if we would like some coffee? on the house! He flavored it with cardamom, which is supposedly great for digestion.Was so happy that he gave us coffee at the end! It was delicious and the perfect end to a large satisfying meal.Will be customers for life!“
“We can't say enough great things about Jane's. We come here very often to purchase stuff for my wife's home bakery. Tom is incredibly kind, relatable, intelligent and helpful. We will continue to make the trek here as long as he is in business.“
