“BEST PIZZA IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA“

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

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

“Great spot.

Came here on a suggestion from a friend who's very sensitive to gluten. She could literally eat anything on the menu she was overwhelmed for the first time in ages!

Reasonably priced considering the food and atmosphere.

Food was excellent, the garlic bread was incredible!

I got the chicken and beef shawarma plate as a main dish. I loved the chicken it was juicy and flavorful. The shawarma, was a little over done on the spices but the meat was insanely tender.

We also had the garlic sauce, only get that if you love garlic otherwise it'll be too much.

For dessert I got their huge cookie which was really good!

I don't usually like gluten free food, but this spot nailed it perfectly, would recommend even to non gluten folks.

Atmosphere is beautiful, it definitely feels like you're somewhere else once you're inside or even in their outdoor area.

Staff was very friendly and more than helpful!

Would definitely recommend!“

“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.”“

“I can’t believe how good this place is. When I moved to LA I thought there would be more options for gluten free and other allergen free options, but I haven’t really seen hardly any, especially on the east side. You can tell how intentional the menu is, nothing has been an afterthought. The owner's creativity with ingredients and flavor pairings are outstanding while still being familiar. Their versions of “scallops” and “fried calamari” taste better than the real thing which was very impressive. They have board games and fun mocktails too. Great multipurpose atmosphere for possible events, and the owners have great hospitality. Parking wasn’t a problem either.“

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

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

“Visited here today from Pittsburgh, PA and these are, without a doubt, the best donuts I’ve ever tasted in my life (I’ve tasted a lot 🤣😝). I don’t usually review places but that’s how amazing these are….“

“You cannot go wrong here. Everything on the menu slaps to a superb degree. My favs are the popcorm chicken, the limeade spritzer, and the tofu banh mi (with a side of peanut sauce). Chef Uyen is a very dope human who has built a beautiful business model around delicious Vietnamese home cooking and community mutual aid. We freakin love Be U!“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“Fresh, flavorful sushi and incredibly friendly service! Every roll was beautifully made and full of clean, vibrant flavors. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is attentive, and the prices are fair for the quality. Easily one of my new favorite sushi spots!“

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

“A cozy café with a Korean vibe. I had been following posts about its opening on a thread, so I felt a sense of familiarity with it. The dessert and drink menu were simple and not over-the-top, which I really liked. I was surprised to see more foreigners than Koreans, even though cafés like this usually attract a lot of Koreans. The atmosphere was lovely as well.“

“Love the dishes. House made pasta. Mussels Steamer. Beet salad. Escargots. Ham and sunny egg crepe. Bread with butter and olive oil. Blueberry cheese cake.
We also came back for coffee. It's a nice place with nice hosts.
I guess the only thing can be better is that bread could be on the house. It's a lunch time though. I would expect the dinner comes with bread.“

“Absolutely in love with this place. Gigi and her mom have built something special here. The BEST gluten free donuts I have ever had. I’ve been gluten free for five years and have been consistently disappointed with crumbly, dry donuts. Not anymore. This place has changed the game. Their donuts are perfectly moist and amazingly flavorful. I am beaming after visiting this place. Easily my new favorite spot and I will definitely be coming back. Impeccable vibes from the super chill baristas.“

“I’m not a vegan and all the pastries were delicious! Enjoyed the berry muffin, chocolate chip cookie, and raspberry scone. Each held their own!!

I was also so impressed by their thoughtfulness- they were very kind to bring a cupcake for my friend’s birthday as well! Thanks so much for the gesture and hope to be back soon. Would definitely recommend!“

“Skater owned amazing pizza“

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

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

“Great food and so friendly service.“

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

“Yvonne and her team are the BEST of the BEST! Everything about the experience was exceptional. The team is so professional, organized, and prompt. They put so much love and care into the product. I ordered a custom birthday cake and it was better than any cake I could've ever dreamed of! absolutely perfect in every way visually. The taste and texture was phenomenal, even the non vegan/GF party guests were RAVING that it was the best cake they'd ever had. It is so hard to find a fully vegan/GF bakery that does cakes that are artistic, unique, and STUNNING- I cannot say enough good things about Yvonne and her amazing team. I am so grateful to have found her bakery. She has earned a forever customer. :)“

“get the Hash! and some pie“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“Highly reccomend! My husband and I went to a dinner party and between the four of us we have all the allergies. This bakery was a wonderful surprise! My guests were so impressed! The “cream filled” Hostess cupcake dupe was a huge hit! Cinnamon crumb coffee cake, and pumpkin spiced donuts were also phenomenal!“

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

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

“During my stay in LA, I’ve been coming here almost daily. I found the best Mediterranean restaurant here, great variety of food, and you can also find VEGAN options!
The ingredients are extremely fresh, and the portions are generous for the price.
I highly recommend this location or any of their other locations, as they have multiple restaurants in LA.
I’ve fallen in love with it.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Curbside pickup First time“

“What a fun spot to take your pup! Dog friendly outdoor patio where you can sit with your leashed pup, plus a mini “dog park”, which is really better suited as a place you can hang with your dog off leash! I love how Muddy Paw supports local animal charities 💕

Menu-wise, there are some pastries and tasty empanadas, in addition to coffee and tea. What a great fun spot!“

“I went here to get a quick coffee (Americano) and a tiramisu. The coffee was actually good, and the tiramisu also tasted good! But what I love about this place is that they made the tiramisu take out special by adding whipped cream around the tiramisu (NOT on, don’t worry) so that there wouldn’t be empty space.

The owner of Bon Vivant was SO nice. A very sweet man. The service was great, even for take out.“

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

“Absolutely incredible vegan dishes and top notch service! We stumbled on Rice when looking for vegan options; so happy we did! Dishes we tried: vegan crisp rice sampler, miso soup, garlic edamame, homemade ginger ale and the crispy dynamite role vegan. Everything was so good! The ginger ale was next level - highly recommend! We got homemade pickled ginger with the roll and it was unbelievably tasty and fresh. The miso soup was a nice surprise as most are not vegan; a broth that built upon each sip and the tofu was also homemade. The crispy dynamite vegan roll had such a unique and deep flavor - more smokey than spicy. I can't recommend the food enough. Thank you to the chef and for the exceptional service. What a treat!!“

“These cookies are amazing! I’ve sent them to everyone I know.“

“A little busy went during lunch“

“The BEST. What else do you need to know? Try it for yourself.“

“Kitchen Mouse is one of those rare spots that feels like it’s smiling at you the moment you walk in. The soft green and pink décor, the whimsical touches, and the cozy kids’ area all make it feel like stepping into a storybook. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made , from their baked goods to their fresh breakfast items, lunch and tasty early dinner offerings , everything tastes like care.

The staff ,Owen, Clara, Dominic and the whole team , are as warm and sweet as the kitchen itself. They make you feel seen and welcome in that effortless way that can’t be faked.

If you’re anywhere near Highland Park, treat yourself to their happy hour from 4 to 6, or stop in any time for something fresh made with love and delicious. Kitchen Mouse is a place that reminds you that food can be both joyful and nourishing , for the body and the heart 🥰

Tiny haiku Poem for Kitchen Mouse

little green dream house
flour and laughter in the air
kindness tastes like this.“

“The best. Done and done. They go that extra mile when you need it most.“

“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.“

“Gutes Lokal zum Verweilen und pausieren“

“The food was delicious! Some of the best pizza in LA!“

“A good cause just can say it all. The coffee is average at best, but there is a large selection of drinks here. The additional offerings for food items are a welcome plus. The empanadas are popular, but I would prefer the fried ones common with Argentinian versions. The place is small and intimate with small tables. Yes, they are pet-friendly and offer items for the quadrupeds. You and your bestie can be happy here. Glad to help and support such a local independent business. Parking is street only.“

“I recently visited Alchemist Coffee Project in Koreatown and ordered an Iced Americano and a New Orleans Cold Brew. Let me just say, this place lives up to its reputation as one of the top cafes in the area. The moment you step in, you can feel the warm, inviting atmosphere they emphasize in their mission—a perfect blend of coffee culture and community.
The Iced Americano was crisp, smooth, and perfectly balanced, showcasing their commitment to in-house roasted beans and thoughtful preparation. The New Orleans Cold Brew, with its rich, bold flavor and subtle sweetness, was an absolute standout—proof of their dedication to quality and craft. You can tell they pour their heart into every cup, honoring the art of coffee just as they describe.
The service was exceptional, with staff who clearly care about creating a welcoming experience. The vibe is cozy yet vibrant, making it an ideal spot to connect with friends or just soak in the coffee culture. Alchemist Coffee Project isn’t just serving drinks; they’re curating an experience that elevates coffee to something truly special. Hands down, one of Koreatown’s finest!“

“I’ve been to the DTLA Arts District location so many times, so I was shocked (in the best way) to discover this one so close to home. The space is modern, clean, and has a cool vibe — though I still lean toward the unique Arts District atmosphere. What really stands out is the pizza: same incredible quality as DTLA. Blindfold me and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

The only thing to keep in mind is that pizza by the slice can add up — if you’re thinking of grabbing more than two, a fresh pie might be the smarter move. Either way, I’m thrilled to have another amazing spot nearby!“

“Good coffee first time visiting this place. Will definitely go back.“
