“Ayo! Stumbled upon this cool lil cookie shop in SM. It did not disappoint and I will be coming back FoSho. I like how the cookies are smaller than the Big Cookie trend that's going on so that can taste more of their creative flavors. Also lower pricing point per cookie as well. My Fav is $100k Cookie. That thing was amazing, i was only supposed to take a bite cause i had 3 other flavors to try but Nope couldn't do it, i ate the whole thing. It had a chewy caramel center with gooey milk chocolate and crispy rice crispy's on the outside. Street parking available, they accepted cards and staff was very helpful. Come check this place out y'all!“
“This was a first time dining experience in Cali…I recommend the restaurant 100%! They were a busy place indeed. The staff is so friendly, and we came in with a reservation and showed early. The hostess checked in with each person waiting to be seated multiple times-you don’t see that very much in most places. A good vibe inside and the atmosphere is nice also. Even though we were early, we still did have to wait almost 15min beyond our rez to be seated but, we were delighted when they offered to bring us an appetizer because they were sorry we had to wait so long. Awesome tasting food and they serve breakfast and lunch as well daily.“
“I got the veggie panini and an iced matcha w/ oat milk; both were very good. My brother ordered a french toast that he vacuumed down in 5 seconds and my dad ordered an omelette that he could not get enough of. Everything was just so fresh and healthy. The service was great and the employees are so friendly! I definitely suggest eating in the back patio, the atmosphere is just amazing!“
“The Menemen eggs were really good. My only wish to make them better would be to have it made with 2 eggs instead of one. The smashed eggs on toast was also delicious. My only desire would be for a nicer place (both inside and out) to sit and eat. The had seating outside, but it is right on the sidewalk and could use some decoration.“
“WOW! My first time ordering b/c I wanted to try the food before gifting to family and friends. The cookies, brownies and bars arrived quickly, beautifully packaged, labeled with a sweet note and are fantastically yummy (especially the Cinnamon Pear Shortbread)! I drive by the storefront all the time and am just so blown away at the high quality of the box received. BRAVO! I will most certainly stop in and/or order again! Likely my new favorite on-line ordering bakery!“
“4 assorted donuts / 1 glazed, 1 reese peanut butter, 1 cinnamon sugar o-nut (cronut), 1 nutella strawberry o-nut - 5 ⭐!DK's Donut & Bakery in Santa Monica is an excellent, family-owned 24-hour donut shop and cafe that has been in business for over forty years. They have a mouth-watering selection of fresh donuts, including an impressive assortment of cronut inspired donuts.Their little shop is in a small strip mall in Santa Monica. I had no trouble finding parking right outfront. The shop has a colorful, pink-focused theme. They had an outstanding selection of donuts on display in their glass cases as well as a nice, large menu board offering up all kinds of snacks, drinks, and sandwiches.The four donuts I sampled on my visit to DK's were fantastic. It was honestly a very hard decision. I had to limit myself to four because when I buy donuts, I have very little self control and know I am going to eat them all the same day. Besides, donuts are always best when they are fresh.The strawberry nutella cronut style donut was amazing. Lots of rich, hazelnut spread flavor mixed with strawberry. The plain glazed donut was top notch. I always try to get a plain glaze and use it as a baseline. A great plain glaze donut is always a treat for me. The cinnamon sugar cronut and the peanut butter cup donut were also great.I know there are other "DK" donut places out there. This one is a real treat and I think it is the OG one. If you are in Santa Monica or are passing by, make sure you stop by and support a great local business!“
“One of the very few bakeries in L.A. that offers a variety of low carb desserts. Furthermore, they also offer keto drinks. My favorite is the keto horchata, which tastes amazing, maybe even better than a regular horchata. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for vegan, low carb, gluten free, or any pastry for a particular diet.“
“A solid donut. From the outside this place looks like a typical donut shop but the inside is quite nice. We came in the evening which is probably the worst time to come for donuts since they are usually on low supply or a few hours to a whole day old. We ordered one chocolate donut and 1 glazed donut and both were super delish. Even after being there for a while they were soft and sweet. The lady at the front was super nice too. Always love supporting a small business.“
“This man is an AMAZING baker! I'm so happy he is selling his deserts at the Saturday Pico Farmers Market. You simply have to try everything he makes. A NON-VEGAN'S DREAM, yum :) There may be some vegan desserts, I'm not sure.“
“Found Berlina after waiting for a relative at UCLA imaging. Very charming coffee shop with an inviting ambiance. Food and decor show care and presentation of sandwiches is very appetizing. The owner was as friendly as she was efficient but what I found most impressive was the care and attention that she provided to a gentleman who appeared to be homeless. She was patient with him and offered him a cup of drip coffee. I loved the German theme and signs inviting guests to learn relevant German words. I can definitely attest that my mocha and the service were "lecker!" Merci bien pour le super cafe et service!"“
“This place is fantastic. The chocolate chip sea salt cookie is one of the best in Los Angeles. I also ordered their egg tart which is a must if you stop by, it’s flaky and delicious. I also got the mazipan coffee which was good as well. There’s some tables outside and it’s counter served inside. The staff was very friendly and everything looked so good.“
“Hands down one of the best cupcakes i've ever had period. Small little place on the corner, clean and smelled nice. The woman who helped me was super helpful. At first i thought it was expensive for a small cupcake but i understand why! Will def be back!“
“Incredible. Food brought us back to our honeymoon in puglia so authentically. The panzerotti tastes just like the ones we had, and the beet salad was incredibly fresh. Service from Luca was fantastic, he made it an unforgettable experience! When people ask what my favorite restaurant is in LA I now know the answer is La Puglia without a question!“
“I really loved the food at Huckelberry and riding online and picking up went super smoothly. My challenge is the pricing. We had 3 breakfast burritos and the bill was $75!!!! I know I have a lot of options in town and their ingredients seemed top notch, but a $25 egg burrito is bananas.“
“Well I'm impressed at absolutely how busy this place is. And now I can tell you deservedly so. The food was very good and the people who work there from the management to the runners to the counter staff and the Busters were just all very very nice and very thoughtful.“
“These vegan croissants and pastries are so good, they're even better than what I tried in Paris!! I always get the ham & cheese, and the guava cream cheese (if they have it, it's less common). The sit-down breakfast options are good too, I tried the omelette with dill and feta and I highly recommend it! Huge portion and delicious flavors. The shakshuka was okay, I probably wouldn't get it again but the vegan poached eggs were fun.“
“This venue shares space with a Panda Express. There are a few tables and a counter with high stools. The plates and cutlery are lightweight plastic. The service was rapid and friendly. The food was good but not memorable. We did not try the baked goods, which were attractive..“
“What a cute gem and great location! Stopped by for a Spanish latte (oat milk with some cinnamon), tamale and muffin. Thoroughly enjoyed the Spanish latte. The tamale and muffin were reasonable. I would return to try a few more of their food items. The park is right across the street with a wonderful playground. It was nice to be deliciously caffeinated for the playground.“
“This place is really cute!Small and humble, staff are really nice and make the best tasting boba ever! If you order from bubble boba the drinks come pretty quickly!I have to say this, the air conditioning is really good haha!! Overall, 5/5 from me ??“
“Came back to Ocean Park Blvd to try this place and it did not disappoint! We ended up getting the Gravlax Works (on everything bagel) and an Onion bagel with jalapeño cream cheese, to compare to Layla Bagels next door. Overall really delicious - the gravlax works was perfect and light, the salmon was amazing - perfect flavors! I definitely prefer this one a bit more. And for the other bagel, the jalapeño cream cheese was a nice touch ,though when comparing to the basic bagel we got from Layla's, the schmear was a little less flavored. The line moved quickly and the workers were all nice! Can't wait to come back to try the pastries and also grab a loaf or two to go!! :) *Note that Jyan Isaac Bread and Layla Bagels seem pretty strict on their outdoor seating, reserving the seats in front of their restaurants for customers only. The manager here came out a handful of times to ask Layla customers to leave!“
