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

“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!“

“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!“

“💖 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 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 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 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 think this German coffee shop is very charming. It’s worth stopping by here and try the pastries, especially the Berliner. You might get addicted, they’re incredibly delicious! Overall, it’s a lovely coffee shop with great customer service.“

“**A sweet slice of heaven in Santa Monica!** Junior Cookies is an absolute *gem*. I came in for the cookies (which are AMAZING – warm, gooey, and perfectly crisp on the edges), but I stayed for the whole vibe. Their ice cream is ultra creamy with rich, dreamy flavors that pair perfectly with the cookies—highly recommend making your own cookie cream with ice cream with cookies! I was also pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee is. It’s bold, smooth, and just what I needed to balance out the sugar rush. Honestly, it’s rare to find a cookie shop where the coffee actually stands out, but Junior Cookies gets it right. Best coffee, best cookies, best matcha, and best ice cream in la! The place is super cute inside, with a cozy neighborhood feel and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. You can tell everything is made with love. The cookies and recipes are unique. 5 star bakery in LA. If you're in Santa Monica, **don’t miss this spot**. Whether you’re craving dessert, a caffeine fix, or just want to treat yourself, Junior Cookies delivers!“

“Best cake place!!! Every occasion I order from here! Hands down my favorite cake place. Been coming to this bakery for years. Wouldn't change to another place. When I take a cake from here to a gathering they end up loving the cake, it’s just perfect.“

“Cookies are amazing. Customer service is also great“

“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.“

“I am submitting this as my informal petition to please open a location in the Bay Area. I miss all your baked goods, and am sorry I didn’t appreciate you enough when I lived nearby. I thought there’d be other bakeries, other breads. But I cant sleep until I’ve had your cardamom buns again; and when I do I dream of them. Send help.“

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

“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.“

“The dessert box was a big hit even by seasoned bakers. The kids claimed their favorites first. I highly recommend saving your host time and worry. Take the best. My host had a sneak bite and energized with a huge smile to greet her guests with a huge smile knowing the grand finale was going to be stunning and delicious! BIG HIT“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food! Great service!“

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

“My friends and I stopped by this Crumbl inside NoHo west so I can get their holiday theme cookie which is just a cookie with m&m. This store isn't that big inside but it works for them.

We found parking in the lot where the store is at. We just ordered from the little tablet since there was only one woman working and she was doing other stuff. The price is on the higher end but my friend used his reward points. Once the order was placed, the lady came to put it in a box for me. The cookie was alright, I think it needed more m&m“

“We had an amazing breakfast! Definitely coming back! Ingredients are really good quality, fruits were really ripe and fresh, scrambled eggs were so gentle and nice, potatoes were great too. The flakey french toast was to die for. Thank you for such good quality of food. I would like to try all their other stuff as well!“

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

“I’m always afraid to try new things. I’m a simple person, but I came here to California from Albuquerque and I wanted to try something different. Something that Albuquerque did not have and I was so pleased with the food. Great breakfast croissant was amazing with the eggs and bacon coffee it was amazing next time. I’m in LA. I am coming here again. Service was amazing. These guys are awesome.“

“Great ice cream Sandwiches“

“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!“

“Baklava by the pound. So good!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Went to Vanak Restaurant and Bakery for a Persian brunch and had such a great experience. We ordered Kale Pacheh, a classic Persian brunch staple, and it did not disappoint — flavorful, comforting, and very well prepared.

The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Portions were generous — easily enough for two people — and the food was genuinely tasty and satisfying.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Persian brunch in a welcoming, warm environment. We’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite donut places in the valley!! Donuts are always fresh and soft, the ham and cheese croissants are delicious, and they have some of the best Vietnamese coffee!! Not to mention that the owner, Larry, is the nicest person ever!! He had such great stories to tell and even gave my husband and I some free goodies!! We love this place!!“

“The lavash is wonderful and without all the extra added ingredients, pure and simple!“

“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!“

“Beautiful place to dine and enjoy the morning and afternoon coffee. One of my face place to dine when in the area! Highly recommended place to dine!“

“Talk about a whole in the wall. Bakery is kinda hidden, you'll miss it if you don't pay attention. They have a bolillo sandwich called guateque. Bolillo with beans, queso fresco, asada, jalapeños & salsa on the side. It is delicious anytime of day. Their pan dulce is also good. They have mini & regular size pan dulce & bolillo. I do have to mention that the place is really small, so is their parking. I suggest you call your order in for the guateques since they are always busy. I know you will love the guateque de asada! I haven't tried the guateque de huevo con chorizo yet. That'll be the next one I try. Enjoy!“

“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 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!“

“Best baked choco 🍩 .. mmm“
