“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“

“Walking into this restaurant was refreshing. It has very calming ambiance. Combination with the great healthy option and tasty food was a cherry on top. Green toast recommendation by Marina was a good option with flavorful Avacado on top did the magic. Couldn't resist shrimp toast and Classic oval tray from the menu. Food tasted really fresh and overall service was very welcoming and positive. Totally recommended for anyone who enjoys healthy food options, breakfast or lunch!“

“Hidden coffee and pastry gem in the Heart of Beverly Hills. Definitely a great date spot 🤫 Do not miss the chance to visit if you are a tourist 😋 For locals try their Salmon Bagel reminds me of New York 🗽
P.S. also they have luxury and bougie cakes 🤪“

“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.“

“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!!! 🧁“

“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 came here Sunday evening because I needed to take pastries to a last minute gathering. The service was wonderful. Everyone was so helpful. I even purchased some cheesecake for my husband. He's very picky but he absolutely loved it. I'm definitely coming back to try their coffee drinks.“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been coming here for almost five years. Their ham and cheese croissant used to be one of the best in LA with perfectly laminated dough, thick ham, and plenty of cheese. The shell was a bit dense and heavier than other bakeries, but that’s actually why I enjoyed it. It had a unique texture and feel.

Sadly, the quality has declined a lot in recent years. The croissant is now much smaller, dry, and skimpy on fillings. Today it honestly tasted like an airport croissant.

Coffee, Swedish buns, and other food are still great, and the staff are always kind. But the shop often seems understaffed and the dining area is not as clean as before. I still want to support them, but the overall experience no longer feels as special as it once did.“

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

“Great cookiesss tryna get points lol“

“My family and I have been coming here for years, and they always have the best quality cakes. They always provide great service and my orders are always accurate. We have never had any issue and we always appreciate the friendly and knowledgeable staff.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I am a huge fan of Banana Pudding and this place has it. Magnolia is known to be best, but I beg to differ!! Schatzi's in my opinion is the better choice. The pudding is not just fluffed and whipped, it has actual solid ingredients and the perfect balance of bananas. My new go to!!“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been here twice now to have a coffee and work on their patio. I love it. I’m not a huge coffee drinker but love their lattes!! They also treated my dog to a pup cup. Everyone working is so friendly and nice. The food looks incredible - I’m excited to try it next time.“

“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 baked choco 🍩 .. mmm“

“Best Cookies in Beverly Hills By far“

“The staff are super friendly and make me feel welcome every time I walk in, which makes the whole experience even better. The cookies are always fresh, warm, and perfectly packaged. It’s definitely one of my favorite spots when I want to treat myself or surprise friends and family with something sweet.“

“I love the small shop with all the flavors in small bites to try. They have a big shop with full size cakes so this is a great spot to try the flavors. They have unique flavors like honey and spinach.

I tried a box of:
1. Spinach cake
2. Choco raspberry cake
3. Honey cake
4. Vanilla dot cake
5. Chocolate nutella“

“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!“

“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“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

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

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

“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.“

“I got the breakfast burrito, and oh what a treat! It sure was the longest burrito I ever ate, with some delicious, tangy sauces to boot.

It wasn't the fastest service and the outside seating on the sidewalk left something to be desired (uncomfortable, a little squished). But it was a good spot and I'd definitely go back for a yummy pasty/brekky!“

“Baklava by the pound. So good!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent!! Always find unique baked goods made with care. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, offering suggestions and letting me sample a few things before deciding. Whether you're picking up something for yourself, bringing a treat to a friend, or planning for a special occasion, this place is a must-visit.“
