“I just started coming to this new place I know it's been here for a very long time but wow it blow my mind 3rd coffee super good I love the tension they give out to customers and they donuts are awesome I order Glaze donut and they still put extra Mini glaze balls insideThank ? you $ is cheapKid-friendliness: I have not brought my kids into this place but I brought some donuts to the house and they love it especially the Shockley ones they're good well I love blaze but I see the kindness they do 2 other kids with other familiesParking: Parking lot is great it's big it's nice And to top it off it's gated out so it's kind of safe to have coffee and a donut inside this placeWheelchair accessibility: My dad just had an accident hes in a wheelchair so it's super easy to come into this place thank you very much“
“Had a craving for puerquitos so I went to pick some up.I don't mean to come off rude but at first glance, the inside of the store looks a little dingy. The trays where the pan is placed looked filthy. They don't even wipe it down in between customers. I couldn't help question other sanitary practices there. I was a little reluctant to continue with the purchase but I did.The puerquitos were yummy, so yummy that that is the reason for my 4 stars. They were soft and good. So I have to give them that.“
“In all honesty, they make the BEST conchas! I haven't gotten anything else from here so I can't speak for everything but everything smells so delicious! Price is good too! Unfortunately there is ONE parking spot in front of the store.“
“Just try it. I love this place, it is perfect for large families and businesses on a budget during the.pandemic. The bargains can not be beat. This restaurant specializes in large family-style take out and special occasion deserts. But the locals know a secret about how to get the best deal here, which I will share with you. Coffee and pastry, about a dollar. Loaves of fresh baked bread, cheap. A dozen fresh pastry, a few bucks. Watch the chickens spin to tasty perfection as you pick up a couple whole chickens with fresh tortillas, large sides, and pan de leche. In other words, food for the week! Get a warm welcome no matter where you're from. Free parking. On point jello selection. And rice pudding. Gluten free. Most of the take out food is gluten free, like a lot of Latin restaurants. It smells like a cinnamon cupcake. Free parking lot. Check this place out!“
“Been stopping by Tommy & Atticus since they opened in July. The country, round sour dough is our family favorite. We've tried morning sun citrus pastry (my fav), jalapeno/cheddar sour dough bread, lunch pizza & sandwiches. Great place, great customer service.“
“Fresh made to order sandwiches, adorable tarts, you have to get the vanilla cream with the hot drink it's like a taste of sweet cloud. Service was fast and friendly. I will be back for sure. The croissants are so flaky and buttery, I love every bite.“
“The cookies: We tried Ube, Churrodoodle, Sprinkles and Cookie & Cream. Perfect texture and the perfect balance between crispiness and chewiness. Satisfying crunch giving way to a soft, melt-in-your-mouth center. These are definitely gourmet cookies!The Brownie bites: Although we love the bite size idea I hope they add on regular size brownies. Our favorite and one of the reasons we keep coming for more Foodologie is the Ube & Cream brownie.The shop is super cute and the staff extremely friendly!“
“They have a variety of donut flavors and the donuts are always good. Sometimes there are special items available in addition to their regular menu.Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free and veganParking: There are a few parking spaces available shared for several stores. During the week it may be more difficult to get an open space.“
“Jongewaard BAKE N BROIL is a hidden gem; in Bixby Knoll area of Long Beach; that took me straight back to the 50s with its quaint diner charm and mouthwatering treats. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by friendly faces and a warm atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Let's talk about the desserts - oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The Red Velvet cake stole the show with its rich flavor and perfect texture, earning the top spot on my list. But the German Chocolate cake wasn't far behind, delivering a decadent experience that left me craving more. And don't even get me started on the lemon cream cheese pie - it's a slice of heaven on a plate! But it's not just about the sweets at Jongewaard BAKE N BROIL. Their breakfast options are equally divine, especially the lemon blueberry pancakes, which were an absolute delight. And for those craving something heartier, the steak and eggs breakfast hit the spot, while the burgers and onion rings satisfied my savory cravings perfectly. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the welcoming atmosphere and the owner's commitment to giving young employees a chance to shine. It's refreshing to see a business that values community and opportunity as much as they value delicious food. Whether you're looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane or simply craving some incredible comfort food, Jongewaard BAKE N BROIL is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Anyone saying otherwise is a hater! Support local businesses.“
“Closed on Sundays, go to the website to find out that day's flavors. They change every week. There is NO free tasting. There was some mention of trying the flavors so i thought there was. But i asked at this last visit and No there isn't a tasting available. The cookies are BIG and heavy in weight, they have a real buttery undertone. The milk chocolate chip cookie is my favorite. The chocolate chips are decadent. They are crispy and gooey. I toast them for a crispier cookie but it IS a great cookie. The brownie cookie is also great. There are many more flavors but haven't found any other flavor YET that i love as much as these two. The workers are nice, helpful, your order prompt. I would give those cookies an A- but that's because I prefer a crispier cookie. The flavor is there, i'd definitely return and have been there numerous times“
“It was busy at the store today. Donna wasn't there today to help me at the self check out register. She is patient with me, and helps when ever she is able. Thankfully, i only had 3 items. Whew! No matter how busy, she always welcomes me with a smile.“
“This is definitely a worthwhile visit for breakfast, lunch, or snacks! They have a great variety of baked items that are fresh and beautiful. There are sandwiches and salads as well that looked amazing, although we didn't get the chance to try those. The pastries and cookies we tried were not astounding, but very visually appealing and decently tasty. Very nice staff as well.“
“After hearing mention about Gusto for a while now, I'm glad to say I made my first visit today and already look forward to coming back. I tried a Mole Empanada and the Pan de Maiz while enjoying a Salted Tamarindo drink. Everything seemed reasonably priced and was well-made. As I saw another review mention, I appreciated the stereo and turntable being used rather than merely being a decoration for the space. It is clearly a business but also feels like you could be in a back room of someone's home. All of the staff was welcoming and seemed ready to answer questions if there were any.“
“Visited this bakery for the first time last week. Small bakery can easily be missed if you don't know it's there. Service/ambiance was ok, didn't feel super welcoming..... service needs a little improvement. Maybe some light music might help, just a little friendly suggestion. Not sure about parking, I parked right in front of the bakery. Baked goods were awesome. We got a confetti cupcake, churro cupcake, red velvet cupcake, Oreo brownie and a cold Spanish latte. EVERYTHING was so good especially the latte..... I will definitely return to this bakery. Cupcakes were perfect, not too sweet.“
“People that give low star reviews to places because “the line is too long” or “I couldn’t find parking” are annoying. Are you expecting a coffee shop to be empty in the morning??The drinks and food are great, the staff is friendly. 5 stars.“

“Marsha came through with an exceptional cake for my husband’s surprise 60th birthday. She designed the cake exactly the way I wanted it. We had a 3 tier cake, each being a different flavor and our guests wanted to try all 3. Needless to say, this cake was a hit! Marsha’s Sweet Cakes will be my only choice for custom cakes in the future!“
“Delicious cheesecakes.I've been there twice.We've tried Cookies & Cream and pecan with chocolate sauce. It's advertised as caramel. However, it's dark and doesn't taste like caramel.I scrape it off and use my own syrup.That's my only gripe about that particular cheesecake.I would recommend people try them.**I would also love for them to have more flavors available.“
“Such a nice cafe to relax and eat :D I was satisfied with my orders and the workers there! Ordered the avocado toast(They didn't have anymore sourdough and replaced it with baguette which was still so delicious!), croque monsieur, caffe latte with nutella, matcha latte, and an eclair vanilla. Everything was perfect! I would definitely come back here again if I need a small brunch :) this place was worth the visit. I highly recommend their eclairs, they did such an amazing job with them that I kept remembering how it tastes like“
“Awsome place to get some cookies. They have different flavors every week which is something I always loveParking: Easy access to parking. Just drive up and get curbside pick up which is super cool . Really recommend if you are trying to get some copies“
“After living in Europe for 5 years I’ve been missing the bakery with in house made things, but I’m so glad I found this cafe because they have the best muffins I’ve ever had. Not dry at all. Everything else in their bakery I’ve been eyeballing because it looks just as good as the muffins, so I can’t wait to order other things too. Their pastries are a good size, too. And I’m also reliant on good coffee, and find myself craving the chocolate mocha I got from there both times. It’s not too sweet or bitter, it’s just perfect with a great texture. Will be returning frequently. It seems like a good spot to work on the laptop in too.“
“After having been here now many many times, I can confidently say it s the best bakery I ve been to in LA. Much better than republic, or nearby sweat wheat, or anything i ve randomly tried that was not worth remembering. 2nd of 3rd best croissants in the US that I ve had (upper crust in Gainesville and Leo s bread in new orleans if curious). Location is great as close to the beach, in a nice walkable area. Not over commercialized, looks over quality store. It s a simple small store putting out great pastries.The stuffed croissants are very good. Passion fruit and lemon one are my favorite.Haven't tried their sandwiches yet but on paper they look good.The kouign Amman however, absolute masterpiece. The edges are so crispy without being hard to chew, yet the center so moist, filled with nutella at the perfect viscosity. Great flavor.“
“If you are a turkey tail fan then get them here. You have to be familiar with eating them or open to trying them once. They're pretty fatty but the flavor and tenderness justifies eating them.The rest of the menu is like a home cooked meal. The bakery is exceptional for its baked goods especially their freshly baked bread. Service is great, with much "aloha".“
“Fast, friendly service and great communication through text messages. The cake and donuts were adorable and exactly what I asked for. Pick-up was prompt and easy. I couldn't get a good photo because Oreo was enjoying his treats so much, everything was a blur and then it was all gone! Thank you for a great experience!“
“Came on a Friday afternoon. Found 30 min parking out front. Greeted by friendly staff who allowed me time to look over their pretty simple menu. ORDERED: + pollo burrito ($10.50) -- 9/10 some pieces of pollo meat in the burrito gave beefy jerky texture vibes, but other than that it had really good flavor. + bean and cheese burrito ($9.25) -- 10/10 "it was delicious" is what I was told. + iced tea Ran $22 dollars with tip! OVERALL: Prices are reasonable for the portion size. I would like to see consistency in the cooking of their meat. Lastly, I would return again if I were in the area and try other menu items.“
“I have gone to Josephs bakery for 50 years with my family and continue to go today and will travel to come and pick up the Croissants and Pizza. This place is so good, and they never forget who I am even if I have not been there for years. Josephs please keep all that your doing for everyone in San Pedro. Our family and now our Children and Nieces and Nephews come here. That is History. Your bakery is amazing.“
“First time here and they nailed it. Got the Bolognese sauce, very tasty and the pasta, curly long ones, were excellent. The wine did not really pair with the red sauce, a Spanish dry red...Water next time perhaps. Will definitely return to this spot! The bread was very tasty ....after we had them cut it for us.“
“The design of the cake, the taste of the cake, the service. Everything was perfect. We had many guests comment on the taste of the cake and asked where it was from. Definitely a huge hit at the party. Thanks so much for making the process so easy as I am an out of towner. 10/10 recommend!“
“I love these cuties called senorita bread! These sweet buttery breads are the best to share my culture and taste with everyone I share it to! I bring these for potlucks and always get asked where to buy them! Also these are highly addicting! The line may get long but it's very tolerable and the ladies are so welcoming and nice!“
“All gluten free desserts! The most popular pastry is the Almond Brioche, it was delicious and different, made with rice flour, served slightly warm and moist inside. We like it that it's not overly sweet. For coffee, we ordered a large mocha, it's on the smaller side, but it's wonderful and also not overly sweet. The service was prompt and friendly. Environment was clean and relaxing. Outdoor seating is a plus, especially for dog-owners.“
“This past weekend, we threw a baby sprinkle to welcome the arrival of our son and it was a last minute plan. I reached out to Sugar from the Heart about two weeks before the event they were able to accommodate our order. The ordering process was via email correspondence, but it was super simple - I sent over inspiration pictures and let them know what flavors I wanted and they did their thing!The cake came out beautifully and it was delicious - they went above and beyond! We ordered a blue velvet cake with cream cheese and blueberry filling (I didn't get a photo of the actual cake, but it was immaculately stacked and filled). The cake was super moist, the cream cheese frosting was yummy, and the blueberries were sweet and plump! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect cake - it got rave reviews from our guests and family at the event!With all that said, I would completely recommend Sugar from the Heart to friends, family, and fellow Yelp users and I will definitely be ordering from them again in the near future! I also can't wait to stop by to try some of the newer flavors of cupcakes. Thank you, Sugar from the Heart for making such a perfect cake and accommodating us last minute! We appreciate everything you did for us!“
“Very simple place but very nice selection of Mochi. Reminded me when I was a kid. Remember only Cash and Checks had to go across the street to the market to get cash. They are going to make a great present for our neighbors who just went to Japan on vacation.“
“Broadway Donuts is an amazing local shop with great service! It is cash only, and I didn’t realize it until after I had placed a large order. The owners were so understanding and generous, and took care of me, couldn’t speak high enough about this place! Will return when I’m in town! Donuts and croissant were amazing, and the coffee was delicious!“
“Donuts are delicious and huge. The coffee ☕ is awesome. Prices are very reasonable. A bottle of water is $1. Family own business and they have been there for over 50 years. They also offer sandwich croissants, burgers, breakfast and more. Open 5:00am to 5:00pm. Atmosphere can use some work.“
“Squid and wasabi spaghetti has been my favorite for over a decade. However, it was fresh wasabi root with very pleasant aroma. Now it's a pickled wasabi and something g has been missing for me. Maybe I am just picky. But the 1 dollar salad and the refillable sweet tea is always must-have! Bread is always fresh and soft inside. I will still go back every time I am nearby...“
“I've had a few cakes from this bakery and they are delicious. The bakery is very cute, def a neighborhood gem. The cakes are large and feed a good amount of people. I like that they can do vegan and everything is decorated beautifully.“
“Thank you JASSY'S SWEETS for the DELICIOUS PASTRIES they were all amazing & finally I found a good Pecan.I got Walnut Brownie, Walnut Chocolate Chip cookie & regular Chocolate Chip they were all amazing & delicious Let me tell you guys everything was SO SO SOFT it melts in your mouth.I've never had a bake good when cooling done it stays soft.It was worth the drive from LA by USC to Long Beach I'm definitely visiting you again & hope to try the rest of the menu & any new or upcoming dessert you may have“
“This review is long overdue- LA has a few artisinal mom and pop mochi shops that have lasted for decades, and Chikara is one of them. The presentation is beautiful, these are not cheap eats as well. For $20 you can get a decently assorted box of mochi to give, they take cash only. They also prepare it differently depending if it's a gift or for yourself. Some of my favorites are the Kiku, Sakura, Nadeshiko, and Strawberry. It's definitely pricey compared to other mochi places, but in my opinion it's the chewiest compared to others.“
“Visiting Long Beach and had Door Dash deliver a couple of cupcakes to our hotel. I had the orange & cream cheese cupcake - my daughter had the red velvet. She loved hers and I think mine was probably the best cupcake I have ever had. Cake was super moist and packed with flavor. The cream cheese frosting was so creamy and it had white chocolate curls on top. Amazing!“
“You can close your eyes and point to anything in their pastry case and you'll always get something delicious. The quality in their bakes are always consistent, as with their attention to detail even when packaging up your pastries. My absolute favorite is their seasonal pommier, but I will always come back for their classics: sesame choux pastry, mont blanc, gateau marron. ilu patisserie chantilly“

“Immediately noticed cookie making equipment along with flour and eggs: always a good sign. Front staff are chipper and willing to describe products. Chocolate chip had nice chunks of excellent quality chocolate - oddly hard to find these days. Peanut butter had good flavor but left me wanting. Chocolate-Chocolate with frosting was amazing. The oatmeal was frosted: not necessary and it distracts from a beautiful base. We paid $16 for 4 cookies.“
“Never going to L.A. or out of the South Bay for pan dulce again!!! Went to Jimenez Bakery for the first time today!!! Literally the BEST pan dulce we have ever had. We have driven far and wide to find legit, authentic empanadas and conchas and today we finally found them. We live in Torrance and it is so nice that they are local and a small, family owned business!! Great customer service and you can literally taste the homemade sense of pride in each piece of pan they serve. So grateful to support this incredible South Bay gem!! Your search for the BEST pan dulce is OVER!! Go to Jimenez Bakery today!“
“While vacationing we like to find local small businesses. I am so glad we found offset. We ate breakfast here every morning. We had the lox, avocado toast and an egg and bacon biscuit. These delicious dishes were made with fresh ingredients and were also visually appealing. The coffee is roasted here providing the best quality product. The talented baristas are super friendly and able to answer your questions. Ample parking is available next to the building and handicap parking and ramp are out front.“
“This place has been in business for years, yet I just heard about it recently. Excellent quality. Very fresh. Creative flavors. I went when thrybfirst opened at 11am, alreadyba libe. Speaks for itself! Very friendly and helpful people working. Thete must have been about 25 or more flavors in the case, all beautifully decorated. I was glad there was a line so I could decide which ones to try. I bought 12 cupcakes, all different flavors for my husband's work, and 4 for us to try at home. Cupcakes for home were Key Lime, Vanilla Cookies & Cream, Red Velvet, and Mint Chocolate. Very yummy! Frosting and cake very fresh. My husband's co-workers also loved the cupcakes. Definitely will be navk again! Parking is on the street. Plenty of spots butball about timing. Many restaurants so I would suggest in between lunch and dinner hours.“
“My favorite bundt cakes bakery! Located in Bixby Knolls, Bundts on Melrose is a cute family owned and operated shop. Their cakes are delicious and not overly sweet like Nothing Bundt Cakes. Each cake has a thin layer of frosting and is so moist. Strawberry Lemonade is an all time favorite but they have something for everyone. The service was great and seamless. I called in my order ahead of time as I was looking to pick up a 13 pack of bundts for my daughter's birthday. It was the perfect alternative from a traditional birthday cake!“
“I love pastries and I love bread and I love coffee. I also love that this place is so close to home!But I don't know if it's a good thing for me because now I am addicted lol. The women that work here are All so sweet and always answer my questions about the beverage menu ( which I told myself I'd try every single one) and so far all good but I am loving their gingerbread caramel latte and tried the chocolate peppermint cookie today and omg it is sooo good! Peppermint flavor is just the perfect amount not overpowering, like the lady that helped me said I cannot believe it's Vegan. My kids love their chocolate chip cookies and we enjoy some of their sourdough every now and then! Great little gem in San Pedro.“
“Got an Asigo bagel with salmon cream cheese and an iced mocha coffee. Very, very good! Got the Fifth Avene bagel to go, which is a lox and cream cheese bagel (chose sourdough) with tomato, onion and plenty of capers. Won-der-ful!!! Have lots more items to choose from! Best bagels! Will be back! When the owner learned was buying for a diabetic, he steered me off the sweet drinks. Very caring people...“
“Small business owned. My teen goes in before school, and the lady remembers him and is always so kind. For a teen to tell me, every time that woman is so nice and is always smiling makes me happy. So thank you to the owner for making his morning a little brighter.Donuts are always fresh. Clean atmosphere. It's definitely a good place for donuts and a drink.“
“This place is definitely one of the best in the South Bay! When it comes to boba, the milk tea is great, they have some unique flavors along with the classics, but what surprised me is the boba pearls themselves, which are ginormous, chewy, and flavorful but still come up the straw easily and frequently!What's more is the amazing atmosphere! This place resembles a cozy coffee shop with their comfy furniture and paintings, which is a nice twist! They also sell some pastries, which looked pretty good through the display (although I didn't try any).I would highly recommend this place to others in the area.“
“So delicious, the best churros ever! Affogato was spectacular. We saw the man working hard getting ready in the morning before the store opened, so we came back after lunch for dessert. The man working there was so kind. Wonderful addition to the Redondo pier!“
“A tiny bakery located right next to a small market. I've driven by this place many times and never really noticed it. I decided to stop by because it was open past 8p which most bakeries are not. Wow, what a hidden little gem. As you walk in you can smell fresh hot bread being baked. Plenty of bread options considering the location is small. I purchased bolillos, conchas, etc... Oh and a huge white concha (which is enough for 4 people). Conchas and bollilos were hot, even after 8pm! All were delicious! Highly recommend. Cash preferred OR a 50cent fee for cardPrices are about $1 each for most breadBolillos 2 X $1Large Concha $3“
