“Thanks for the delicious “mummy quesitos”. They were a hit!!! at the party. And of course one of our puertorrican treats!!!� Thanks so much.“

“Best cakes and desserts in the SFV, we get goodies from Wendy for all our dessert needs!“

“The whole experience food service is professional and kind“

“I have been going to Porto's since the 1980's..the one in Glendale. How elated I was with having them being in Northridge where I live. The food is terrific and the lines go fast due to a tremendous quick system they have. The catering for parties has never let us down and people you have invited that never have experienced Portos are thrilled. The cakes are delicious. What I do miss is not having the individual cake slices for purchase so you can experience the taste. They only have the neapolitan, Parisian, and carrot for slices. I've seen the menu change over time and do miss some of the items.“

“We visited Sweet Angeles today and had the best experience. The staff were super friendly and welcoming - it felt like they were genuinely happy to have us there.
We ordered the chocolate, Dubai chocolate, and strawberry ice creams - all were rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The Dubai chocolate was especially unique and definitely a favorite. We also shared a piece of cake (so good!) and an iced coffee that hit the spot. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing.
The place itself has a really cozy and relaxed vibe - perfect for hanging out and enjoying a sweet treat.
Overall, it was a lovely experience and we're already looking forward to going back!“

“Bostan by Grandma is all about attention to detail. The decor is immaculate, and the food presentation is equally beautiful.

The restaurant feels alive. No two tables are alike, every corner is decorated, and live flowers are all over.

The menu has a mix of traditional Armenian plates and Americanized offerings, along with an extensive coffee list.

And it really feels like everything here is meant to be shared. Not just because the portions are large, which they are, but because the presentation inspires conversation, whether it's from beauty or nostalgia. It really feels like popping into a long lost family member's house for a meal.“

“Enjoyed our breakfast, very friendly staff, large portions, homemade bread and excellent service!“

“💖 We were just talking about how PERFECT your cupcakes are! The sweetness ratio is absolutely idyllic because the sugar does not overpower the gorgeous flavor. Worth every penny!!! 🧁“

“I was looking for a birthday cake for my friend and I came across Paris Baguette and it was right by her house so I decided to give this place a try because it’s look so good!
Bakeries are yummy.You can tell it made fresh and it wasn’t super sweet.Bread are soft and croissant are flaky and delicious! The strawberry short cake and blueberry one are great and those fresh berries are really good.
Service : Staffs are nice and friendly.
Vibe : Bright and clean and the whole place smell so good!
Parking : There are plenty of parking but if you want to park at the parking area right in front,On the weekend might be a challenge because still other business around there that use the same parking lot too but you still have a choice of parking garage as well.
Overall this place became my go to when I think about bakeries now.“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“I recently found this Vegan bakery, and I loved it! They have a good variety of pan dulce. They also have very good vegan tamales. I fully recommend this place.“

“I absolutely love this place. It's a rare experience when you find a place that serves excellent food (and I'm talking about quality, taste, texture - All of it!) as well as great coffee beverages and fruit coolers. That describes Schatzi! And I haven't even mentioned the bright and cozy atmosphere. 6 stars.“

“I stopped by this spot on the way to dinner over the weekend. Parking was a little limited, but there were plenty of public lots and street parking nearby. The shop is super cute, and I picked up a few cookies: Guava Cheese, KitKat Tiramisu, Ube Coconut Éclair, and Peanut Butter Banana Brûlée.

What I loved most is that they add the toppings fresh after you order! The cookies were soft, flavorful, and had a nice hint of cinnamon. My favorite was the Guava Cheese🤍

The staff were really friendly and explained each flavor. Next time, I want to try their ice cream since I saw a lot of people ordering it!!!“

“The best cakes in the Valley. We always order from here even if it's just to have a simple cake for a get together or a big birthday.

Order ahead and get both strawberries and bananas in the cake.

Haven't tried their other pastries which I'm sure is a fail on my part. But usually it's a pickup and go for me.“

“They really good an i love their cookies“

“My absolute new favorite restaurant! We were visiting family in LA from Chicago and they took us here, I ended up going three times in my one week visit. Cheese stuffed zaatar and the sojouk kachopuri were my favorite and the garlic chicken wrap was my husbands. Honestly everything we had was delicious and the kids kept asking for the pepperoni pizza and mini pizzas.“

“Our Ubber driver David recommended we check it out. It did not disappoint. we ordered 4 different savoury pasteries, not knowing what any of them were. All were delicious!“

“I come by here at least once a week, the bread and pastries are baked fresh daily and the workers always treat you like family. It doesn't look like much from outside but it's my go-to local bakery. I would highly recommend the jalapeno bread with creme cheese, but come early because they run out often by noon.“

“A really cool place. The dough is kneaded by hand. The smell of fresh pastries whets the appetite. The prices are great, and the taste exceeds expectations. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Don't think the staff are rude; they are very nice people (with a Georgian accent). I hope my review will be helpful to you.“

“The blackberry crunch toast was amazing. Great service, friendly staff & nice location.“

“Special thanks to Laila and her amazing team for their outstanding service and warm hospitality. The vegan section and options are an absolute dream — so thoughtfully curated and delicious. I love that there’s a separate section just for plant-based items; it makes ordering so much easier and more enjoyable. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, which truly enhances the experience.“

“Exceptional bakery. Beautiful packaging for an elegant gift“

“The workers are really nice, but this place is so overpriced and they charge for everything. If you get a bagel with cream cheese, they barely add any cream cheese and they charge you for extra. The coffee is small and it's at least $6. The bread is very good.“

“Delicious food! Great service!“

“I love the ice cream and desserts at this shop.“

“Hi how are you a chocolate frosting cake with butter cream on balloons from grandmas Sandy’s birthday for me yes“

“This is a superb bakery for deserts, cakes & pastries in Woodland Hills! Cake was fresh and delicious. This is a business that cares about their customers. Special Thank you to Tim, professional. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Baklava by the pound. So good!“

“My first time trying Mediterranean food and what can I say, the dishes were authentic and so delicious, especially the Fattoush Salad . Loved it so much. I will definitely recommend to my friends.“

“She does a beautiful job, the cake tastes amazing, and her customer service is fantastic!! Sonia did wedding cakes for my sister and everyone loved it!“

“This location is clean, greeted right away, not packed/big lines, fresh cookies, most are overly sweet but I like that they constantly put out new flavors. The peanut butter cup was the favorite of this purchase.
Although we haven't tried the lemon one yet.“

“delicious fresh bread which is baked daily. great Italian products and their cheesecake is amazing.“

“Tasty goodies and breads nobody would ever suspect as being gluten free. Place is perfect!“

“Inside, there is only room to order food and buy bread. Their cinnamon roll is pretty good, but served cold. Their everything cookie is delicious. There is ample seating outdoors for brunch, and servers are nice. The breakfast sandwich is good, and their standouts are shakshuka (absolutely delicious!) and the chai latte. Their vanilla latte is also well bodied and just sweet enough.“

“A Great Place for a Serious Sweet Tooth

A very nice experience at Crumbl. The service is friendly and quick, and the large, impressive cookies definitely deliver. This isn't a critique, but more of a recommendation for anyone considering a visit: if you love super-sweet desserts, this is the place for you. Personally, the sweetness was too intense for me, but I can completely understand why others would fall in love with it.“

“I went here for the first time and ordered the beef, and hot dog piroshki they were great. Ashley was a great hostess and got my order ready I would come back and try the other treat here. There is no sit down.

Kid-friendliness: Ashley was a good hostess.“

“Friendly cozy place. Best croissants!!“

“Great ice cream Sandwiches“

“This is your typical family owned bakery where you are treated as family, very good bread, fresh coffee is served in the early hours of the morning, prices are reasonable, parking space is not always a good thing since the bakery shares the shopping with other businesses. I will definitely keep it as a morning stop.“

“review_stars 01/04/2025 - Ray Beker The Best Lahmajune in All of Southern California. They have Zahtar Maneishe. Cheese Beorek. Spinach Beorek. Spicy Cheese Beorek. Meat Beorek. Potato Beorek. Special order Mini Party Sizes . The Best prices. No order is too big or small.“

“As much as I miss Maude, the Pie Room is a lovely hole-in-the-wall serving delicious dinner plates and pastries. We came for an early dinner, hoping to treat ourselves to a few main dishes and a pie.

What was a nice surprise was even though the chicken leg wasn’t available that day, we were the first to be served a fried chicken dish that the chefs were trying out. We also ordered the steak frites and the beef pie.

All the dishes were excellent, the sauce au poivre and homemade ketchup were amazing dips for the fries, the chicken breading left nothing else to be desired, and the smooth and juicy beef pastry filling made us wonder how the pie crust still held up perfectly flaky and buttery. A few notes: the chicken’s breading was amazingly crunchy, but a few parts surrounding the larger piece could do with less breading, and we wished the steak was larger. But nevertheless, an amazing meal.

Happy hour wines were delicious as well.“

“Uzzi’s has delicious cookies including my favorite the strawberries n’cream and also an assortment of marshmallows to choose from. The vanilla chocolate swirl marshmallows are often requested by my daughter swirled with Belgian chocolate mmmm. Quality mostly organic whole ingredients! Don’t hesitate! Try them!“

“Really good Persian food and one plate would be able to feed 2-3 people. I got a plate with chicken, steak, and Koobideh which was served with basmati rice, Shirazi salad and a tasty bread on the bottom of the meat. The bread gave it a nice texture and a savory taste. As dessert I got a hot tea with baklava that was made from turkey and I highly recommend it, the baklava has no fructose syrup at all and was made with natural ingredients like ghee, and was so moist compared to other places where I’ve had baklava. The service was incredible our server was very attentive and gave us good recommendations! I will definitely be coming back“

“Food’s great! I simply wish though that they had more veggies on their menu and their melon/canteloupe drinks with no added sugar. But I can’t complain as they cater to ur every whim/special requests like for extras or add- ons. Customers leave happy and satisfied that’s why they keep coming back for more. And that includes yours truLy ? Special mention: beef tapa and escaveche ??

Dietary restrictions: Not much of a dessert person but if i’d get to hand pick, it’ll be the classic halo- halo and their red bean hopia

Parking: Wide parking area and best thing, it’s all for free

Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of handicap parking slots“

“The food is amazing i had a salami sandwich the service was impeccable the food was fresh i sat outside and a worker brought out a ranch the strawberry cheesecake pastry was incredible as i was leaving he came outside to hand me a bag of sweet bread I RECOMMEND“

“Such a wonderful, cozy and friendly staffed café, serving up some of THEE BEST smoothies, sandwiches and donuts in the San Fernando Valley! You owe it to yourself to come check them out because, TRUST ME, you will NOT be disappointed 🔥💯♥️“

“The cafe is clean and inviting. The gentleman behind the counter was more than helpful with my indecisive questions. The food was well priced and delicious. I recomend the Vietnamese coffee its strong, doesn't taste burnt, or watered down. It's not too sweet, either.“

“The atmosphere is very much like grab n' go, but if you need a place to sit and quickly enjoy some food it's good too! The tamales are good, the pan dulce is good and the champurrado is delicious! The champurrado is not too sweet which I really appreciate coming from a family of diabetics. Pricing is fair, they bake everything there so it's definitely worth it!“

“Is a Bakery. Is a bolillo bread they add carne asada cheese fried beans jalapeños you get your own salsa And you can choose your meat of choice This small business but gets pack. And is something we can all make but is something different. Not bad. With a Coca Cola glass bottle.“

“Wow, first time ever at Rose's Bakery, the cake was excellent. Fresh and delicious.“
