“The cookies are amazing go try“

“🌟 Oakobing – Pasadena, CA
If you’re craving a sweet escape, Oakobing delivers a frosty dream in every spoonful. I tried the black sesame and strawberry shaved ice—each one a cloud of flavor, delicately layered with mochi and a drizzle of condensed milk. The texture? Feather-light and refreshingly crisp. Seating’s limited, so grab your treat and head to the cozy outdoor nook out back. Pro tip: skip the garage and snag metered parking nearby. A must-visit for Korean dessert lovers looking to chill in style.“

“Review is for food only. Not store or service.
Heard good things about Beard Papas snackies .

Since I happened to be in Old Town Pasadena, and discovered there was one. It's not on the main strip so I almost missed it.

Food:
Cream puff (original) - this was the item that I wanted to try out since it's their main seller. I expected the puff to be softer with a crunchy outer shell but it was harder than I expected. It was delicious though. The cream is slightly sweet which I like. I hate super sweet cream.
Honey butter puff - the second item I tried. Not a bad combo, but original still is better.

There are more flavors but I wanted to try the puffs as they are and not too overloaded with macha, chocolate, etc.. flavors.

Repeat: only for the original puff with the vanilla filling (original filling). It is pricey but once in a while is ok.“

“Best cookies I’ve ever had ! Open long hours so easy to get cookies after work or on the weekends. Good customer service. There’s nothing not to like. Yummy“

“I love this location it’s super close to my house!!!

I recommend crumbl for having a lot of choices of cookies, having best chocolate chip cookies!!!

Then, what i love the most is that everyweek they have different choices of cookies that we can choose from♥️“

“It was my sons and I first time ever walking into Crumbl and trying them. We were so excited about the whole thing. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted very nicely and helped right away! The staff made the entire experience for my son and I really great! We absolutely loves the variety of cookies this week had to offer and we will definitely be coming back again! Thank you La Canada Crumbl and staff!“

“Delicious flavors! I love them 😍 will have to visit more often“

“Cute dessert spot that feels reminiscent of classic HK/TW dessert shops. We came on a Saturday night and were seated right away—no wait. It’s largely a self-service experience (ordering straight from the menu and servers are basically just runners).

Prices are a little on the high side, but kudos to them for delivering dishes that actually look like the photos. Therefore, there are plenty of Instagram-worthy items for those looking for that! Good experience, but not necessarily a repeatable one.

(For taste, I do recommend the mango/grape dessert - though that’s not as unique as the other items).“

“Really good if you’re into guilt free desserts that aren’t overly sweet! I tried the mango coconut jelly and the mango pomelo sago and both were a mild sweetness that was not overwhelming making it easy to enjoy the entire dessert from start to finish. And you get a cute jar to keep and reuse so that’s a plus!“

“ice cream + mochi, not bad, not particularly good but not bad either“

“Fun frozen yogurt shop, with the *widest* array of toppings I've ever seen. Fun vibe, delicious flavors of frozen yogurt, friendly staff.It helped transform (in my kids' minds) a long museum visit we had just finished into a happy memory. A reasonable spoonful of sugar for the win!“

“Finally tried this spot and was pleasantly surprised. I had the Hibiscus Calamansi and Ube Brownie -- delicious! Not too sweet at all. Service was great. As a cafe to get some work done on my laptop, it was a little distracting and perhaps not the best unless you get the booth spots towards the back. Would come back though!“

“I came here many years ago with my friends and it’s filled with happy memories, their desserts are delicious and ONE OF A KIND!! The snow ice has a great texture and they let u have two included toppings! Every time I come, they fully load your cup. Even if you order a small size. You won’t find a more delicious snow ice dessert than here!“

“Celebrated my daughter's 16th birthday at Bingsu Bingsu and it couldn't have been more perfect fulfilling her foodie favorites with a variety of tasty taiyaki, specialty teas and an exquisitely prepared Signature Bibim Bingsu! Our server was the absolute sweetest wishing my daughter Happy Birthday with her beautiful smile :)“

“small cute shop but only two small tables to sit at,, they were really nice and recommended a lot of treats for us! we tried the tiramisu, mango roll, mango mochi, pomelo mango sago drink, almond cookies, and the variety custard pack! the family favorites were the almond cookies, sago drink, and mango roll!! so so good and yummy would definitely return for those :D“

“I saw this newly opened shop that’s next to Ai Wei Ju. After finished our meal at Ai Wei Ju, we hopped over to Coconut Jelly King in Alhambra for dessert, and I must say it was a delightful experience. This charming little spot offers a wide range of refreshing beverages and tasty treats, with a special focus on coconut jelly-based creations.Firstly, the atmosphere at Coconut Jelly King is relaxed and inviting. The interior is bright and clean, adorned with Tiffany blue-themed decorations that immediately transport you to a classy cafe. The staff members were friendly and attentive, ready to assist with any questions and recommendations.Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the coconut jelly. The coconut jelly-based drinks at Coconut Jelly King are simply fantastic. I tried their signature coconut jelly smoothie, and it was a perfect blend of creamy coconut goodness and a hint of sweetness. The coconut jelly itself was wonderfully tender and added a delightful texture to the drink. It was clear that they use high-quality ingredients, as the flavors were rich and authentic.In addition to their excellent coconut jelly smoothies, Coconut Jelly King also offers a variety of other flavored jellies. We had their fresh coconut jelly which came in the whole coconut. We loved the texture. They also offer other flavors as well, there is something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed their red bean coconut jelly which was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness.To complement their beverages, Coconut Jelly King also serves a selection of delectable snacks and desserts. I couldn't resist trying their egg waffles and it was a true delight. Chewy , smooth, and crunchy with the natural flavors of coconut, it was a perfect ending to my visit.The prices at Coconut Jelly King are reasonable, considering the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. They also offer generous portion sizes, ensuring that you get great value for your money. The menu is diverse enough to cater to various preferences, and the ability to customize your drink according to your liking is an added bonus.Overall, my experience at Coconut Jelly King was fantastic. The combination of great ambiance, friendly service, and exceptional coconut jelly-based drinks made it a memorable visit. Whether you're a coconut lover or simply looking to try something new and refreshing, I highly recommend stopping by Coconut Jelly King in Alhambra. It's a hidden gem that deserves recognition for its unique and delicious offerings.“

“The Kind Dessert Granola is delicious on overnight oats!

I usually want to dress up my overnight oats and found that just oats and almond milk overnight then I add the Kind Dessert granola just before eating and it’s absolutely delicious!!!

And their macadamia almond butter on a slice of toasted French bread is to die for!!!“

“Great shave ice 🍧 Great service! Will definitely be back 🤙🏼“

“This place is small but their drinks are delicious 😋 my first time here and I ordered the #23 which had the yogurt in it which was yummy! This place doesn't have a big selection but it good. Try them out fir yourself. Nice little treat!“

“Magnífico lugar para comer!! Excelente servicio Jessica, Jessenia y todos los que trabajan son grandiosos.“

“Finally made it here! Took advantage of promo and got a free cream puff! Yummy,I’ll be back…“

“Very delicious the mangoneada and fruit bionico 😋😋🤫“

“This is my GO TO place if I want delicious soft serve. Not only is it so flavorful, but the company goes above and beyond to be helpful with allergies. I’m able to easily look at their chart to see which flavors I can have. (Lactose free, gluten free, etc) they also have an option to add soft serve to cold brew. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Incredible. Everyone who works there is super sweet.

I wish they’d have a few more flavors available at any given time, but I understand why they can’t! Wishful thinking! ;)“

“The cream puff I tried was the Creme Brulee one and it tasted so freaking good omg it was my first time trying it I was so scared it would taste soo sweet but it wasn’t and omg it tasted soooooo good omgomg 100% recommend. Got my order really fast“

“I love supporting small businesses. It is the spot when I crave for cheese cake or need pick it up for potlucks and parties. I love the Japanese Iced cheesecake . It's light, not too sweet Percy texture and so delicious. They have the original , matcha , strawberry and Oreo flavors. You can either one flavor or a set of all 4.

The taro snowflakes is a must try, creamy taro sponge cake made with real taro.

This shop is clean, cutesy and is family owned and I was helped by the owner's mom, she's super nice lady, the owner makes all the cakes.

They take cash, Venmo and Zelle as payment options.“

“(Translated by Google) It is very nice that you go out looking for something and find gold, in this place you can find exquisite crepes, the attention is great (the same owner takes care of you) so the service is quite good even with the long queue, plus they are 4-5 dollars more Cheaper than in other businesses in the area, but they also have mini pancakes and Yucatecan marquesitas(Original)Muy agradable que salgas buscando una cosa y encuentres oro, en este lugar encuentras crepas exquisitas, la atención es genial (la misma dueña te atiende) por lo que el servicio es bastante bueno aún teniendo la fila considerable, además están 4 - 5 dólares más baratas que en otros negocios de la zona, pero además tienen minipancakes y marquesitas yucatecas“

“Dios Bendiga este ligar esta todo muy Rico y the people are so beautiful, 🙏God Bless their 🙌 hands 🙏🙏🙏“

“Excelente servicio muy rica las cosas que preparan ahí en ese lugar se lo recomiendo“

“It's too small to dance more northern to dance and it's a bar type but it's good to hang out for a while. I went with my husband and I had a good time. We celebrated 28 years of marriage. But I realized that he doesn't like to be well. A lot of trouble 🍺🍺🍺🥂🍷🥃 but there is a little fun.“

“I happened to be driving by and saw this shop. I decided to try it out and pick up some doughnuts for the guys at the office. Not only were the doughnuts fresh, the service was great! The women were very patient, fast and friendly. I am glad I found this shop. Most doughnut shops are very pushy and make you feel rushed. Excellent customer service. I will definitely be coming back!!“

“This place was super clean. The staff were really nice. They were quick with my order. The food looked and taste so good one of my favorite spots now! Only odd thing is that on Google Maps the name is Mr. Steve donuts but in person it’s JNJ donuts so not sure what that’s about but overall it’s a great place! I got there glazed, donut twist, and they’re hot dog, which were both super good and packed with flavor!“

“Looking for a delicious snack after ice skating? Try this dessert food truck which specialized in super delicious churros. The desserts are affordable. Other snacks are also sold such as candy. They charge an extra $1 for credit card transactions.“

“I don’t understand some reviews giving 1 star because they waited for 1 hour (uhm nobody coerced you to line up on a peak hour at new restaurant in LA, that’s on your buddy!)

So I’ve been to Echo park location twice since they opened (I’ve been to Mexico City and New York location a few times as well) and it’s exactly the way I remember them. I went on a Tuesday and only waited 30 minutes from lining up, ordering and getting my order. Second time I went on a Sunday around 3pm and waited for about 20 minutes.

Food review: churros are amazing (they stayed fresh 2 hours when I took them home) sandwich / torta is pretty decent as well for $7.“

“This animation studio is amazing. They have made movies like the Shrek movies, and Puss in Boots, and Trolls and other movies like The Bad Guys and The Bad Guys 2. The Bad Guys movies are my favorite. Mr Wolf is so amazing. Fan Letters to the director Pierre Perifel who directed the Bad Guys Movies can be sent to this animation studio.“

“Best HK desserts in the SGV area 😝“

“customer service and delicious tea ! love this place!“

“Insomnia is the best Mary the store manager was excellent and the rest of the team was so nice and helpful i went in for a gift for my girlfriend i was lost with all the cookie opinions but Mary stepped in and help me make the best decision my girl is so happy and now I cant wait to take her thank you to everyone at the insomnia at the usc location i very much recommend this location.!“

“Wasn't pleased with my shaved ice and Pineapple slush. They were out of ingredients and the shaved ice was more like crushed ice. Expensive! Won't be coming back!“

“Absolutely delicious drinks and energetic staff! I’ll definitely be returning tomorrow.“

“There was a really weird smell on the east side of the room so we sat on the west side instead. The tables were kind of sticky too. Other than that our order came out delicious and timely. They might just be short staffed, without enough people to tidy the place regularly.“

“I was so happy to see this location open up in the 626. It's very conveniently placed near the movie theatre that I go to from time to time. So right after we watch the movies we will often come here to relax and get a bite to eat. The icy grass jelly signature is the way to go people!! Try it!“
