“BEST PIZZA IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA“

“This is cool spot that’s very popular with students. They offer a great variety of treats - you’ll find something you like“

“It’s sooo yummy! Cafe de olla and all the delish pans!“

“Cute spot. Some really special dishes, especially in the appetizers and sides. The deserts (made in house) are very yummy. The owner is a lovely, sweet human. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 was the main dishes we chose were a little basic but still good.“

“My wife and I had an amazing night out here. The drinks were fantastic and the vegetarian / vegan food was fantastic. Such a great atmosphere. As a vegetarian who doesn’t drink, but loves a good mocktail, I was thrilled with our experience. It was definitely the perfect date night spot. The owners were such nice people who really thought out this concept. 100% recommend for people of all diets.“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“Every time I’m in LA/Eagle Rock, I have to stop by here. The donuts are sooo good, creative flavors, and fresh. I buy a dozen or 2 and trail my butt back to OC and my family is so excited. The vegan donuts are sooo good!! Don’t let that ube cake donuts fool you, it’s so soft and airy. My favorite along with vegan ube glaze. Yum!“

“Sometimes you’ll meet Yvonne there, who is so charming and sweet, you’ll want to be her friend. The owner of a flourishing mail-order bakery, Yvonne opened this cute bakery in a great location a year and a half ago or so. We’re very lucky that she decided to land in Pasadena. We’ve tried a lot of items, from the ube cakes to the jalapeño scones to the full cakes! Everything is great (and amazingly, also gluten-free, I believe). My absolute favorite is the coffee cake.“

“Really tasty food and big portions!! We definitely ordered more than we could finish between 2 people.

The beef spring rolls were like a burrito size! Also ordered street corn, chicken sando and rice noodle bowl. All large portions for what you pay! Hard to pick a fave but I’d say chicken sando“

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

“I love this bakery from childhood! I live in NC now so I really wish they would ship their goodies!“

“?☕️ Easily some of the best gluten free donuts I’ve ever had! I have been a guinea pig of all things g-free for the last 15 years, so I can state confidently that the donuts I had yesterday are some of the most delicious, and tasty G-free treats I’ve had. The cherry on top was the amazing service. I didn’t catch the guys named that helped, but he was so pleasant, attentive and just seemed genuinely happy to serve, and that means a lot to me. Keep up the amazing work HYW! You’re my families new go-to spot!!! ???

Kid-friendliness: They were great with indecisive kids lol“

“Fantastic sushi experience! The fish was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was top-notch. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance made it perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommend trying their specialty rolls and sashimi.“

“Best empanadas and pet friendly“

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3“

“Omelete sandwich and beet salad were delicious. Berry lemonade was refreshing. Pastries are divine.“

“amazing mochi!!! don't forget to check out their seasonal flavor“

“Ice cream is delicious. I wasn’t expecting sweet and tart at the same time.“

“I have been to the 2 Little Tokyo locations and this one is definitely the winner! there’s a huge variety of pastries and things to eat for a quick bite (you might probably have to eat it standing or elsewhere during the weekends since it gets pretty packed and there’s just 3 tables!) but the steamed buns were good!, the matcha mochi wasn’t too sweet so it was perfect, the almond croissant was fine but their specialty is definitely on other pastries! will definitely come back again to try more stuff.“

“This place was busy my entire visit and for good reason. It has a really cool artisanal shop next door of jams, and unique groceries. Dining on their patio was very “LA”. It had all the trendy hipsters in their jeans and vintage sweaters for the overcast day,
Bustling with conversation, this place still provided excellent service and a delicious dish verified by their very popular Salmon Noice salad. (Probably spelled that wrong)
But it was the last thing on their very long and tempting menu. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Muy bueno!! la Nina fue muy linda. Se llama mayra muchas gracias!!! ☺️☺️☺️“

“Honestly, I love dogs, so why would I go anywhere else when this place saves animals? What a gem. All of the employees work with precision and care and I always have amazing conversations with them! It’s my favorite place to start my day. Here is my favorite drink to get… a wag the tail + oat milk and sugar free vanilla. Try it….“

“I Love Amara!!! The best Avocado Toast in town!!! Nice atmosphere, friendly people and great service!“

“Beautiful and delicious Bistro with great atmosphere, amazing food and wonderful service! I am coming here every time I’m In LA and always have the best experience!!! Mussels are one of the best I’ve had in a while, prices are great and Marianne who was taking care of our table was so friendly, helpful and sweet. It was a pleasure and I highly recommend this restaurant for good food and good time:)“

“Such a nice little spot with both in/outdoor seating and free wifi!! So many vegan pastry options and obvi dog friendly with a nice little dog park in the back! We love a spot with merch and they have it: shirts, stickers,dog bowls and proceeds go to animal rescues! First timer but def going back 🙌🏽👊🏽 #Veganuary“

“Second time here-the goodies are delicious and elegant with a delightfully stylish twist (Madeleines with a citrusy yuzu glaze; Chocolate chip cookies with sesame, sugar cookies with miso, lime tarte with a sugared shiso leaf topper, etc. ) and the coffee is Excellent-10 out of 10 for this alone. Fabulous addition to the neighborhood and truly worth a drive over from wherever you are.“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“So excited and proud Sugarbird finally has a storefront. My family and I have followed Chef & Owner Kei since it first started and only had regular priority mail delivery and pickup from a co-op location in Downtown LA. I stopped by after the Montrose Farmers Market, where Sugarbird was before and I believe still is for other Farmers Markets, and Kei herself was managing the store. She was nice and really excited to finally have her own storefront. I got a free tea, free clotted cream, the tea sandwich set, six scones (ube, lemon blueberry, matcha, fig & rosemary, passionfruit & earl grey) and shortbread cookies.“

“I got a couple of donuts and a cupcake and was totally blown away! The girls were super friendly. I would totally go back for more. I have hasimotos so I avoid gluten and eggs have given me a problem for years now. Finally I can enjoy my cake without any problems!! Love love love

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!“

“A little pricey but tasty. There was a fly in the store though, feel kinda bad for whoever ends up eating the donuts it touched in the display case ? I would beware of the ready-to-serve items. Feel like they shouldn’t prop the doors open?“

“Really nice pizza place. My wife has celiac so I was looking for gluten-free choices. She tried the sweet potato crust which was delicious. I also got the Philly cheesesteak which tasted really good. Super friendly people and we ate in the store and the food was delivered quickly!“

“Great food. The BLT, mango raspberry, fruit cocktail, and brulee are incredible.

Parking: Lots of spots in the free underground parking garage, but can fill fast during busy times. Be wary of bad drivers on their phones.“

“Constellation is a jewel in both La Canada and Silver Lake. It’s one of a handful of really good coffee shops in LA. Their espresso is smooth but flavorful, perfect for that early AM wake up call. Best of all, they are very community oriented and the leadership here really dedicates itself to helping the community in more ways than one. Great place, great owners, and they go the distance!“

“Food: 8.1/10 (got the croissant: super fresh and crispy)
Service: 7.5/10 (not chatty but still nice)
Atmosphere: 7.5/10 (Productive, plenty of tables and places to sit. It can be loud sometimes)
Coffee: 7.8/10 (really nice, good coffee experience)

Super fun spot. Productive environment, but it can be loud at times. The staff were nice enough, but they didn't seem very chatty; could be a plus or minus. The coffee came out quickly. Love that they have a "for here" option where they give you a mug. Less single use products and better coffee drinking experience. The croissant was surprisingly fresh and crispy. My latte (regular milk) was VERY clean and had a nice lightness with it, which is rare for a latte in my opinion. I would recommend!“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“It was wonderful! Historic surroundings (ask about it). The staff provided assistance with the menu and offered valuable suggestions. The service was great and pizza was quickly delivered without compromise. Created with quality ingredients and crust with a nice chew. I highly recommend this one.“

“My wife and I loooove Just What I Kneaded (the pop tarts are insane; the crunch wraps are a MUST!) and Justine's Wine Bar (all around one of our favorite date spots), but I'm writing this review specifically to rave about the amazing and most perfect wedding cake that Kneady Cakes/ Just What I Kneaded created for our wedding day!

Our cake was vegan and gluten free - we wanted gluten free since my mother is celiac (she was very grateful for a GF cake and she loved it!). The cake was moist and delicious! We were all very impressed with the gluten free option - There honestly was no difference in the gluten free and the regular cake. And it felt "lighter" to eat!

We opted for a lemon cake with lemon custard and raspberry jam on the bottom layer and chocolate with raspberry jam filling on the top layer. It was insanely delicious and beautifully decorated with frosting succulents to match the desert theme of our wedding. The Kneady Cakes team packaged it carefully and it was sturdy + easy to transport in an insulated box all the way to Joshua Tree.

We had a wonderful time with our cake tasting, which consisted of trying cake samples via 6 different flavors of cupcakes accompanied with jars of jam and custards. It was difficult to choose, but we're so happy with our decision!

The lower layer of our cake was 8" and the top was 6". We were able to cut about 30-40 slices, easy. For a 15 person wedding, it was a perfect amount for everyone to enjoy a few slices + we had extra to freeze for our anniversary. Everyone LOVED the cake (they are still raving about it!) and it was a highlight of the post-ceremony celebration! We are SO happy to have purchased our cake from Kneady Cakes.

We can't recommend getting a wedding cake(s) from Kneady Cakes enough! Worth every penny. We'll be back for birthday cakes in the near future. We are lucky to have such a fantastic bakery and such an amazing team of bakers in east LA!“

“The food here is pretty good. We ordered Pho, sandwich, chicken egg rolls and vermicelli. Take awhile for the food to come out but it’s worth it. Chicken egg rolls are surprisingly taste very like pork egg rolls. Recommend this place if you want to try Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo.“

“Fantastic service. The specialties and house signature food and drink are fabulous. I had the braised short rib and the house dirty martini. Delicious. Also please try the truffle deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts and truffle fries. Love this place.“

“Delicious brunch today at Lemon Poppy. The whole family enjoyed it.“

“I probably had Pizzanista three times a week during 2018 at their DTLA location and just found this location tucked away in San Marino. It was packed! Their vegan pepperoni was as great as I remember, I love their Jesus meets seitan, and occasionally enjoy their Mac n cheese pizza (it’s waaaaaay too heavy to eat more than one + only available on Sundays). This location had a large merch section that I wish was smaller so more seating would be accommodated inside. Soft serve machine was a bit runny but also not vegan so didn’t have that. Garlic knots are great and looking forward to trying their Sicilian slices they didn’t have when I would go often.

Happy Munchies,
@aVeganAndHer“

“Excellent choices. Just had meze and small plates - the crispy mushrooms were unbelievable - were enough for us. ❤️“

“Artfully packed & DELICIOUS!“

“The best vegan pizza, still. They have an amazing vegan ranch that is better than the real thing. It has dill and it's by far the best in the west. Pizza slices are large sodas are healthy type. Beers. Parking is tight. Seating is harder for anything large. Go ahead and get the ranch on the side for sure.

Vegetarian options: Best vegan pepperoni pizza with vegan ranch

Parking: Barstools and tables“

“The best service and the food always amazing! Tastes like its homemade and with so much love! Such nice people with the family vibes is my favorite part! Thank you for always providing at my events! Always my go to spot!“

“Best place ever!!! Great service, great food, great people!!!!“

“The food here at Tarme is Everything!!! in a nutshell. 😋 Amazing Flavor, Delicious and very Fresh. their portion is also of good size often time it's enough to be shared. This is my Favorite Mediterranean Food Restaurant in Glendale thus far. I am very please with the Food & their Staff. 😍 I score them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
