“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.“

“**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!“

“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“

“One of our absolute favorite breakfast spots! 🤍 We’ve been coming here at least once a week for over two years, and somehow we never get tired of it.
The tomato omelette is to die for, the crepes and pancakes are seriously some of the best in the city and their coffee is always delicious. ☕ The matcha is great too! The food is consistently good and the place has such a cute, cozy vibe.
Definitely one of those spots we keep coming back to again and again! 🥞🍳🍵“

“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.“

“Such a lovely spot on Rodeo Drive! The atmosphere is beautiful, and it’s a perfect place to take a break while exploring Beverly Hills. I ordered the Iced Dubai Chocolate Latte, and it was absolutely delicious. A special thanks to the barista for being so kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Really great experience! I came in day of to order a cake for my boss's birthday. Johnny helped me out and he was super nice and helpful! It looked like he was the shift lead, but everyone working there was doing an excellent job and getting through the customers quickly! Johnny was super wonderful and wrote a specialized note for the cake. I also got an iced latte and they have the best coffee there ever!! Like every coffee drink I've gotten from there is soooo good.“

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

“Finally I felt like hometown! Everything tastes amazing! Real homemade foods! 1000000% recommending!!!“

“💖 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 had a great first time experience on Monday 8/12! Clean environment, parking was typical but easy as well. I got a hotdog roll and they asked if I wanted it warmed up which was very thoughtful!

Shoutout Brice for the great + friendly service!

Keep up the great work, everybody!“

“I'm not sure why this now opens at 10am. That is going to basically ensure that everyone en route to work won't be able to stop in. I just came at 9am and there were three of us who had to turn around and leave. I hope this is a temporary thing.“

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

“I pass this darling European style cafe daily walking my grand dog and since I burnt chocolate croissants at home this am, decided to stop in for some for myself, my daughter & grandson.

First I was met by a friendly staff member and a blast of cold air- both so refreshing!
The pastries are made daily and they offer quite an assortment! All beautifully displayed. Bought a vegan one for my daughter, chocolate for my 4 yo grandson & lavender meyers lemon frosted one for myself! So 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.“

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

“Delicious food! Great service!“

“These are hands down the best Crumbl cookies I’ve ever had. Every time I come to this location, the cookies are fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. The flavors are always on point, and you can really tell they take pride in what they’re making here.
What really keeps me coming back, though, is the consistency. No matter when I visit, the quality never disappoints. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the whole experience just feels worth it every single time.
I’ve tried other locations, but none compare to this one. This is officially my go-to spot, and honestly, I won’t be going anywhere else. If you’re thinking about trying Crumbl, make it this location—you won’t regret it.“

“Best Cookies in Beverly Hills By far“

“Manager Marissa made delivery order while at Encino store which generally has very very poor service and makes lots of mistakes with no responsive management. However the day Marissa was covering for that store my cookies were the very best I have experienced. She was supposed to respond to my email and did not but did a great job on my delivery order and given my recent delivery issues I appreciate that she made sure my order was fresh and correct“

“Not only are the pastries super delicious but the staff at this location are so wonderful to me every single time I go in! They always welcome me, they always smile and make me feel welcome like I'm an old friend!“

“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“

“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!“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“I ordered a cake for my nieces surprise 16th birthday and they did an AMAZING job! I chose the berry flavor since it’s summer and it would be refreshing, it definitely was. It was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved it and asked where the cake was from. Definitely a hit!“

“Everything!!! No really the Sandwiches are the best, better that Brent's, and blows Canters away.“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious Portuguese food!“

“I would like to leave a positive review for Modern Bread & Bagel. This is a wonderful place with a cozy atmosphere, delicious fresh food, and excellent drinks. I especially enjoyed the sandwich and the beverage — everything was prepared with care and attention to detail.

I would also like to recognize the staff. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The ladies at the counter always greet customers with a smile, are happy to help with recommendations, and create a genuinely pleasant atmosphere. Their positive attitude and excellent customer service make people want to come back.

It’s clear that this place cares not only about the quality of the food but also about the overall customer experience. I will definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to friends and family.“

“This is my favorite spot to get fresh Armenian donuts, piroshki and jingalov hats. Armenian donuts are far superior than American donuts. If this place had fresh juices and sandwiches, I would never need to go into a regular donut shop ever again.“

“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.“

“Baklava by the pound. So good!“

“These little desserts from heaven are worth every penny. I ended up getting the 6 pack. 1 chocolate 2 creme brulee 1 matcha 1 matcha brûlée and 1 original. Let’s just say 4 didn’t make it on time for a picture lol I ended up paying $36 for 6 cheese tarts and 1 apple pie. I do not recommend the apple pie. It is not good.“

“My favorite vegan bakery in the country! Beautiful atmosphere and location in Beverly Hills. Excellent vegan pastries which are on the same delicious level as those I’ve had in Paris, Amsterdam, and London. The dining options were also fantastic, beautifully displayed, and very filling. I recommend everyone in the LA area stop in to enjoy this gem.“

“The staff at Crumbl Cookies was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They were happy to walk me through the flavor options and gave me great recommendations. It’s clear that they love what they do, which makes the whole experience feel even more enjoyable. The service was quick, and I didn’t have to wait long for my cookies to be boxed up and ready to go.“

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

“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!“

“I had to stop by Magnolia Bakery at Grand Central Station after having lunch with a friend. Their cakes are delicious!“
