“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!“

“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.”“

“Free Spirited Bar is an absolute gem. It is incredibly refreshing to walk into a restaurant where the entire menu is vegan by default (they do offer an option to add halal chicken if desired), a total 180 from the usual experience of hunting for that one token plant-based option.
As a group with diverse dietary needs, we were blown away by how seamlessly accommodating they were. We ordered the Alfredo pasta with mushrooms, the marinara pasta, and the buttered scallops, finishing off with the Dirt Coupe mousse for dessert. Every single dish was amazing. The pasta is made in house, and most menu items are made from scratch. A special shout out goes to the gluten-free bread, it was so outstanding we completely forgot it was gluten-free.
It is a sober bar, they don't even have alcohol in their vanilla extract. However, their non-alcoholic cocktail list is extensive. We tried about eight different drinks among us, and each one featured incredibly unique flavor combinations and beautiful presentation.
The owners are so sweet and clearly understand dietary restrictions on a personal level. They took the time to patiently explain everything and made us feel completely at home. I don't live locally, but you can bet Free Spirited Bar will be my go-to spot anytime I’m in town!

Forgot to add they are dogs friendly and will even bring you out a water bowl for them.“

“You can taste the care and attention directly in the food and it's really neat to see how so many traditional dishes have been adapted to be gluten free. Well worth multiple visits. What did bother me and I feel could be improved is the music. Although appreciative for the vibe of the restaurant, nearly everything sounded to be AI generated. I wish they played traditional Lebanese musicians.“

“get the Hash! and some pie“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“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….“

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

“Tofu sandwich was delicious, filling, great price, and overall satisfactory. I got the iced coffee too which was super yummy with the coconut cold foam. Highly recommend, took them to the beach and they held up well all day! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-03“

“Oh my goodness! This place was such a beautiful find. I absolutely loved all the options they had for gluten-free and dairy free. I got the lemon cake and two of the sprinkle cookies to bring home to me and my family. The bread options are amazing for gluten-free as well. I ended up getting their chorizo and egg for breakfast. Absolutely amazing food. On the side I got tater tots, they were crunchy and very tasty. Not greasy, which is hard to do when you fry something. We sat in the back where the wine area is because it was really hot that day so the ambience in that little area was very quirky and eclectic. It’s a very comforting delicious place to go visit if you’re hankering for some gluten-free, dairy free pastries. Did I mention the entire place is vegan!“

“It was Absolutely delicious!“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“If there was an option to give 100 stars I would give this place all of them. Food 10/10 buffalo wings , miso soup, crispy tofu miso soup, avocado crisp rice, yam yam sushi.. all so good, great ambience and our waiter and waitress so kind and helpful . Thank you“

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

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

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

“This bakery is such a dangerous place if you love pastries because everything looks amazing the moment you walk in. There’s a huge variety of baked goods to choose from, and it honestly feels hard to leave with just one thing.

Everything I tried tasted fresh and homemade, with that perfect balance where the pastries feel rich and satisfying without being overly heavy. You can tell they put real care into both the flavor and presentation.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great place to stop for coffee and something sweet. Definitely one of those spots I’d happily come back to whenever I’m craving good pastries in LA“

“Skater owned amazing pizza“

“Casual coffee / tea shop that also has specialty pastries. Highly recommend their Espresso Cloud iced. It's delish. Also recommend trying the Black Sesame Dark Chocolate Cookie, the Milk Cream Bun, and the Yuja Kumquat Tart; all three are very delish and not too sweet.“

“Today I came in to try hello you’re welcome and I am so happy that I did. I’m glad this coffee shop popped up on my TikTok fyp. The staff is very friendly. The cashier is very welcoming and attentive. She made you feel like you were a close friend, it’s my bday week and she over heard and put a candle on my strawberry donut which I think is very thoughtful of her. The pastries are scrumptious. The ice vanilla latte was very good they garnish it with cinnamon. Not too bitter not to sweet just right. I will definitely come back. I love the 70s wallpaper, retro look inside. The vintage fish ware takes you back.“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

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

“We ordered our wedding cake from Yvonne’s Vegan Kitchen. Using the cake testing kit was a great experience—it came with a lovely personalized note, and was a great activity to do together while planning our wedding (and provided us multiple evenings’ worth of dessert!) The staff at the store were always friendly to interact with, as well.

Ordering was very easy and straightforward, with prompt and efficient communication. We ended up using one of the example designs on the website, and it came out looking wonderful. The cake had layers of chocolate and red velvet cake with mocha buttercream icing and hazelnuts added between the layers—we highly recommend this combination!

We tasked a family member with fetching us breakfast on the day, and coincidentally they happened to visit Yvonne’s Vegan Kitchen for that as well—so thank you also for some delicious breakfast baked goods!“

“Busy when we went on a Sunday—there was a line going out the door to order at the counter. Vegan options include choosing tofu scramble or JUST Egg. Service was friendly and they gave us complimentary cornbread mini muffins. Nice sunny cafe space. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-20“

“On a Monday, I was frantic to find a comfortable place to host 35 people for a post funeral reception on Friday. I called Chris at Bon Vivant and he took care of the rest. He arranged everything , communicated well and easily and when we got there on the day of, everything was laid out, the food was prepared, Christian and his crew were on hand to make sure everyone had water and drinks. The food was perfect and SO plentiful. The atmosphere was gorgeous as always, and the crew could not have been nicer. It really was the best I could have hoped for on so many levels. I can't say enough good things about the whole experience. These people are the real deal-in a time that was very difficult for me, they cared enough to help and take a huge weight off of me. Thank you thank you thank you.“

“The appetizers were great, escargot was the star of the day. Love the garlic parsley butter sauce that came with it.

Entrees were decent. Had the 1/2 roasted chicken which was amazing. The filet mignon was pretty moyen (mid). We paid an extra $5 upgrade for truffle fries, but they were really soggy and underseasoned. Recommend heavily salting the steak and fries before you eat.

The bread basket was bad. Expected fresh bread, but they were really crusty and burnt. Dissapointing for a french bistrot.

Overall, the environment was a 5/5 but as a foodie, I can only give the food at most a 3/5.“

“Coffee is better than Starbucks. Variety choices of desserts was fun“

“Gluten free pastries are hard to find, delicious pastries are harder to find but Cakegirl has successfully turned GF pastries a joy to enjoy. The cookies are so soft and flavorful. The chocolate donut although not fluffy and airy like what one would expect it’s more like an old fashion style donut, it’s soft and moist and most importantly chocolaty.“

“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.“

“Spritz Mediterranean Street Food is a hidden gem! I ordered the Mediterranean Wrap and the Cart Street Fries, and both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh, bold, and unlike the typical fast-casual options you find elsewhere.🤗

The Mediterranean Wrap was packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients, while the Cart Street Fries were the perfect complement—crispy, seasoned just right, and completely addictive. Everything tasted homemade and thoughtfully prepared.🥰

If you're looking for something out of the ordinary and full of flavor, this place is a must-try. I will definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu!😋“

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

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

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

“Curbside pickup First time“

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

“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!“

“Just good quality food . fresh & tasty“

“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!“

“I’m blown away by the extraordinary customer service we got from Karen! She wash sooo nice and patient with my girls and went above and beyond to make sure they had an amazing experience. And love how healthy and delicious the products are.THANK YOU Karen!“

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

“we took a cooking class there.. learned all about making dumplings! it was a great class and fun time!“

“R u Serious!!! An unbelievable flavor explosion created by the chef at SEED. Gott be the best chile relleno of my life! The chile, the cilantro, the greens a robust farm fresh egg. BAMM!!“

“The New York style slices here are solid with good flavor, plenty of cheese, and a nice firm crust. The quirky option to add a side of spicy ranch would upset a purist, but I liked it. PIZZAISTA! is definitely a good thing for the greater Los Angeles area. But is it destination pizza, a place you should seek out in a special trip? Honestly, I would say no, but I live in New York, and we have places like this all over the city. However, if you're in the area and want a quick slice, this is the ideal spot for you.“

“Kitchen Mouse Bakery is a true delight! Adorable inside, it has the kindest employees and offers all manner of delicious vegan treats. Their breakfast sandwich is an addiction along with their s’mores brownie. Everything I’ve had has been delicious and it’s a great spot to stop and fill up a box of treats to bring to a party or event. So grateful to have them in my neighborhood!“

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

“Delicious drinks and empanadas, but OMG the Ube cookie & brownie 🤤 Great little semi-private gated dog park patio! And I love their mission 🥹 we bought their last 2 canvas tote bags but I LOVE them so hopefully they restock soon for y’all 🫶🏽“
