Today we purchased new items to try and some old favorites! New items that we tried and are so good: the mango and guava pre-packaged señorita bread, a pre-packaged guava pastry (at the register) and bought 3/$12 ube malasadas. Our family definitely enjoyed everything and we are so happy we came in and were able to get our hands on these coveted heavenly carbs today!

We bought 10, and 3 malasadas. I do not have much of a sweet tooth, but the texture of the bread is so pillowy and light especially when warmed. I can definitely see how these can be addictive. The ube malasadas were great too, not too heavy at all.

It seems family owned and operated, and the folks there were very friendly and kind. I came by and picked up a few items for the next couple of days. Very reasonably priced. Transaction was easy and the pastries were good.

Prices are still affordable too - college student friendly prices. Location is unbeatable - right in University Village (and parking is free now, don't need validation), walking distance from UCR, and right next to the University Ave freeway entrance/exit. We both each got a Cheesecake Slice, Matcha for me & Blueberry for him, and we cut them in half to share. Both were really good! Great value - I think they were only $3.75 each slice! Service was good. Ambiance - it's small and tight so there's nowhere to sit. My friend and I went over to Qamaria to find a table to sit down at instead. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if/when I'm in the area again!

Super light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, which makes it dangerously easy to keep eating. Pairing it with their cold brew was honestly the move--the coffee and cheesecake together were . The location itself is pretty small, so in my opinion this is more of a grab-your-cheesecake-and-go kind of spot rather than somewhere you're going to hang out for a while. The parking lot can also get pretty busy, so just keep that in mind. Definitely coming back because now I need to try some of the other flavors. If the Original was this good, I have some research to do.

I was quickly greeted by a staff member with a joyful "Welcome! What can I get for you?" This was gonna be one of the toughest decisions... which cupcakes do I get?!?!?? I knew I couldn't take one of each, that would be crazy. There were just too many to choose from. I finally decided on the Strawberry Shortcake (for me!), a Carrot Cake, the Lemon Lemon and the Salted Chocolate Caramel. Now that I got the goods, the next step is to get home as quickly as possible so I can enjoy these delights!!! Worth the wait! I took a bite of the Lemon Lemon and the Strawberry Shortcake...devine! Frosting was perfect, flavors were on point and I loved the cake was perfectly moist. 500 stars!!!

(: We were very grateful for that. I got the Italian Grinder with no red onions and substituted the ham for turkey. I chose the pasta salad as my side, and the sandwich also came with some kind of vinaigrette. The flavors were good, but I think the bread started to come apart near the end, and I personally wish the red peppers had more of a pickled aspect! I also got the Lemon Cheesecake Bar (?), which was yummy, but it does have nuts on top. I think a crumble topping would be even better instead. (: The inside feels a bit dated, but the employees definitely seemed to be keeping it clean. As customers came and went, they cleared the dirty tables pretty quickly. Overall, I'd give this place a 4/5, but 5 stars for the accommodation. :)

I came in at sort of an odd hour for lunch so the place was pretty chill and not too busy. Service style is fast casual where you order at the counter and find a seat. The place has a feel of having been there for a long time with large wood booths or separators. I ordered the grilled pastrami and Swiss sandwich and got it with their potato salad. The pastrami was griddled and has an old school flavor and style with some nice crunch from the sourdough. A great sandwich overall! Parking in the neighborhood wasn't too hard to find along the street and even if you need to park a block or two away, the neighborhood is nice to walk through.

Five stars and a rating of Great?? NO!! A million stars and it still would not be enough for rating Stephany and her bake company. I found her bakeshop while searching Yelp for a bakery that offered delivery services. I chose her bakeshop based on her offering delivery, her Yelp rating, and pictures of her cakes. Because I am on Guam and the cakes were to be delivered in California I knew that I was taking a big chance that everything would be ok. Crossing my fingers, I called the number provided. After a few minutes into our conversation Stephany's sweet disposition, her professionalism, and her excellent customer service, this woman had me hooked. Without any doubts I not only ordered my cakes from her I also gave her complete carte blanche with the cake designs. Let me tell you this woman delivered!! From the taste, the decoration, the delivery, and the price I had no complaints!! I highly recommend everyone to get your cake from Levis Bake Shop, you will not be disappointed!!! read more

It looked like a Walmart cake . Super sad since this cake was for a special occasion and did not meet our expectations. And I wanted to mention they charged me $140 for this 8inch cake but I only paid half which was $74ish. I also want to mention they didnt have a proper box to fully protect the cake either. Unfortunately I wont be coming back to this bakery after been coming here for a few years.
