“It is clean. Employees are friendly, helpful and courteous. The baked goods champurado and tamales are good. I'll probably get tamales for the weekend. The tamales are a little pricey. But, it's a good product. I keep going for more. The breads are very good and reasonably priced.
There's no seating.“

“This has been my lunch go 2, when I’m solo, of course…kinda pricey, but worth it! The sandwich I like is $12…im full with half, btw. Shareable portion, but I don’t wanna share… Honestly, this sandwich is the only thing I’ve craved in the last 9 years!! 🤤 #12 ham and turkey croissant… can’t go wrong!!“

“I go once a week para el pan dulce and they never disappoint. A lot of variety. They also have fresh coffee, cafe olla, champurado, jugos naturales, tamales, torta, cakes, gelatina, and the list goes on.“
“I don't know about the rest of the day, but at 8:30 in the morning the donuts here are delicate and delicious. Highly recommend the raspberry filled jelly donut. Haven't had one that good since I was a kid. The ladies serving me were very helpful and friendly.“

“Porto’s is always a great spot for sweets, especially their birthday cakes, which are some of the best. The food is also very tasty, and I really enjoy their coffee because it’s always well made. The service is very attentive and friendly. The only downside is that it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends when the lines are long.“

“recommended to me — I wasn’t disappointed. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but it moved quickly and the staff were helpful, even with all the hustle. The ordering process was super easy, and the space felt clean and welcoming.
The cookies themselves? Genuinely excellent. Big, warm, and packed with flavour — definitely lived up to the hype. I tried a couple of the weekly specials and would’ve gone back again if I’d had more time in Downey.
Nice stop if you’re travelling and want something sweet (or very American!). Great location too — easy to find and plenty of parking nearby, but we walked as hoteled in the local area“

“I visited Nonna Mercato for dinner and had a cozy and refined dining experience. The restaurant had a warm Italian-style atmosphere with a comfortable setting that felt inviting for a relaxed evening meal.
We ordered fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, salad, and sparkling drinks. The food arrived hot and beautifully presented. The pasta had rich flavor, the pizza crust was crisp and light, and everything tasted fresh and balanced. Portions felt satisfying without being overly heavy.
The service was attentive and professional. Orders were handled smoothly, and the pacing of the meal felt calm and well-managed.
Overall, Nonna Mercato is a great dinner spot if you want fresh Italian flavors, a cozy ambiance, and a polished casual dining experience.“

“I love that it's never super crowded when I go in, a helper/cashier always comes to greet me within a few seconds, the vibe is always nice and chill. I love the large varieties of cookies there and they're large! Every cookie and small pie has been absolutely delish! I just had a small key lime pie this past weekend that SO good!“

“Place is amazing. I love the different options each week and that makes you want to come more often. My go-to choice is the Snickerdoodle. This place has the best tasting cookie anywhere. Be warned though that the parking lot next to Crumbl is a pain! To avoid the headache I’d park in the Target parking lot next to the center and walk.“

“The chocolate 2 layer cake with chocolate icing (or with vanilla icing, but the chocolate icing is the best) and sprinkles is INCREDIBLE. I'm normally not impressed by vegan cakes, but this one is genuinely so good. I'd serve it to anyone confidently!!
I order it every year for my bday and my friend's bday. It's the best vegan cake I've had in LA.
Two pics are below - chocolate icing (with a train on top per request) and vanilla icing (with sprinkles covering the cake).“

“This LA bakery is a must-visit for anyone craving a delightful pastry experience. Despite the long wait for parking and entry (over 30 minutes), the staff was incredibly quick and friendly, managing to keep the crowd moving smoothly.
The bakery itself is a sight to behold, with its vast expanse of baked goods and an open kitchen that showcases their delectable creations. We indulged in a variety of items, including almond croissant, cinnamon croissant, chicken sandwich, eclair, cream cheese guava strudels, chicken croquettes, spinach puff pastry, biscuits, chicken empanadas, and wheat bread.
The biscuits were a standout, filled with gooey caramel and chocolate. The eclair was a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece. Every bite was a blissful experience, thanks to the freshly baked, warm pastries.
While the chicken sandwich was a bit of a letdown compared to the other pastries, it was still enjoyable. Overall, this bakery offers an amazing experience and is definitely worth a visit.“

“Best egg tart & po tart ever! We saw the TV channel introduced this store, went in on weekday morning to avoid the crowds, the egg tart was so good, po tart has more flavor but I like both 😋 recommend eating right away while it’s warm! Definitely will be back.“

“Such a great find! The egg salad sandwich was very reasonably priced and tasted super fresh, honestly really good. We also tried one of their strawberry cakes and loved it. It wasn’t overly sweet at all, tasted incredibly fresh, and was loaded with strawberries. What really surprised me was the price, almost half of what you’d pay at Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours for the same quality (if not better). All of the pastries tasted homemade, fresh, and perfectly balanced, not overly sugary. Definitely coming back!“

“If this is not the best banh mi in all of Sgv and Oc, I don’t know of any place that can beat them. All cash by the way so come prepared. Their dac biet is the perfect sandwich and their daikon and carrots are light and bouncy with fresh jalapeno with the right amount of pate and butter. They have it down to perfection, nothing less. Had an open house and served it for homebuyers and they were blown away! Highly recommend! Cafe sua da is gold too, loved the shaved ice in the coffee and not too sweet. The ladies in the back are super sweet and you can buy the baguettes and freeze them, then 350 f for 6 mins in toaster or airfryer. Get the egg rolls, and pa te so is good too. My clients loved their vegetarian banh mi too!
Vegetarian options: Just get he vegetarian banh mi! Only vegetarian thing to get or just plain baguettes! It will be worth it!“

“Great selection of gluten and dairy free treats! Only a handful of items had dairy so I had many options. The lemon bar was my favorite - tasted just like a “normal” lemon bar, delicious. Carrot cake cupcake had a strange flavor and was dry; cinnamon roll was also on the drier side. Chocolate cake was good, much better heated up! Would go back to try other things.“

“This place came to the rescue!!! The wedding cake I had made fell over on the long drive. It was a disaster!! Other bakeries near the wedding venue were already closed and others needed at least 48 hour notice… the wedding was happening NOW. I called Sonora Bakery in my final desperate attempt, explained the situation, sent them a picture of the cake and within minutes, they got to work. The cake was delicious and the wedding was saved. Thank you Sonora Bakery…. You have a customer for life!“

“The best keto bakery and fermented goods (ultra-probiotic) in LA country. Since discovering Damon's kimchi and sour krout, I discovered what a truly healthy digestive system is. Ilkay's baked goods are amazing. Try the scones or decadent (healthy) deserts, you will be impressed. You can also get their products at the Marina farmer's market on Sundays.“

“Champurrado taste good not too sweet not too sugary or cinnamoney and good thick consistency. Bread was average and did not feel or taste fresh made. Atmosphere was nice when I entered as the older lady owner spoke with her granddaughter but as soon as she left environment got tense and the sweet old lady turned serious 🧐 wouldn’t make the drive again but definitely if in the area looking for champurrado this is a good place to stop.“

“This weekend, at my niece’s Sweet 16 celebration, I tasted a cake that completely changed my mind about dessert. I usually hate cake—but this one? Hands down the most delicious, unforgettable slice I’ve ever had. I was so blown away, I had to ask my sister-in-law where she got it and the exact location. It was that good.“

“Very cute little local dessert place. All the desserts are made fresh. My girlfriend and I were just looking for a sweet treat and found this place. We got a crème brule, a carrot cake, a macaroon and two iced teas. The iced teas are made fresh and then put over ice. They were very good. My gf got a passion fruit one and I got got mint. We would definitely come again. And the workers I think are the owners but they were super nice and even asked us to try the teas before we left to make sure we were happy with them. Would definitely come back“

“I had the best experience here at melrose bakery. I was searching online for Italian bread for sandwiches and found this gem. Nancy was super helpful, I ended up leaving with 2 giant loafs of sourdough bread. All for $5! I originally wanted rolls but those need to be ordered ahead of time. They are a wholesale store and open to the public. I followed the exact instructions on the reviews to find this place. Awesome place!“
