The husband saw "Wagyu Pastrami" and we were done looking. We chose seats right in front of those beautiful desserts. I love a well prepared Croque Madame and they had it! The ingredients stayed true to the recipe -- the house made sourdough bread was so good, topped with a runny egg. The husband devoured his sandwich along with the truffle chips -- then proceeded to take pieces of my Croque Madame! After our last bites, we had to end with something sweet. We each chose a Macaron -- Pistachio and Cookies & Cream. So cute, so perfectly sweet. Service was quick, casual and friendly. My only (very minor) complaint is the lukewarm drinking water. A little ice or longer refrigeration would have been nice. It was otherwise a fantastic lunch that we wouldn't hesitate to have again. :)

Cake Monkey has two locations in LA and I'm thankful for this Beverly Boulevard spot. I keep…read morepopping in to pick up a few things each week and am enjoying working my way through their plethora of options. The chocolate chip cookie with rice krispies "Summer Camp Chip" ($4.25) has delicious flavor and if you enjoy soft & chewy with a slight crisp, they hit all textural marks for excellence. This has become our absolute favorite snack to get here and I gots to have it every time I'm in. The chocolate pop tart is solid. We prefer the taste of this to the brownie cookie...we aren't big on that one. I had such high hopes because I love brownies and obvi love cookies, but alas, personal taste preference. The chocolate cake pudding ($4.25) is a rich and decadent treat that can be eaten right out of the wrapper it comes in! I was surprised I loved this chocolate cake soaked in chocolate custard with a few marshmallows and caramel on top. The Peanut Butter El Rollo is a tiny but cute little guy at $5.50. They make their own peanut buttercream for the inside filling and the chocolate is just wonderful. I like their bars One of my favorite things at Cake Monkey is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cakewich. This mini cakes are just $5.75 and individually wrapped so make for great little gifts to bring to a housewarming or event. Plus it's gluten-free and vegan so all our friends can enjoy it! Cakewiches for the win at Cake Monkey Bakery! I've only tried the Matcha Latte in the drink department here and was satisfied with it. I'd like to try some of their fizzy drinks but they were out of tonic water this morning. Next time! And there will definitely be another time with Cake Monkey Bakery! They just have SO MANY options here, it's easy to find multiple baked goods you can enjoy here. I'm a fan.

All the donuts we got were amazing. The fritter was so crispy on the outside. The cronut was perfectly flaky and glazed. The creme brûlée donut was crispy on the outside and filled with a ton of cream. I was very surprised with the pink donut, it was super soft and the candy on top added nice texture. The old fashioned donut was also solid. Service was good, she gave me good recommendations. I recommend this place if you are looking for great donuts.

The yuzu soft serve was yummy, but I wished the yuzu flavor came out more - it mainly tasted like their original soft serve with a light yuzu syrup on top. The space itself if small with limited seating inside and outside. Service is quick, and their soft serve items are beautifully presented and photo-worthy. Street parking only. Overall a cute spot to grab a sweet treat!

The crust isn't your usual pie crust, it's got this granola oat thing going on, which actually balances the chocolate really well. They offer three size options: a standard slice, a mini pie (available for three flavors), and a whole pie if you're really committing. If you want something indulgent, this is a solid pick, but be ready for the chocolate overload.

Winston Pies have an indoor dining area, but we ordered ours to go. Their KEY LIME PIE is very good. The "lime" flavor did not taste "chemical"-like and had just the right amount of tartness. The crust was buttery, sweet and crumbly, but still held its shape. The dollop of whipped cream on top was the perfect balance to the tartness. The COWGIRL CHOCOLATE PIE was also very good.

However, I recently stopped by this location to grab a doughnut for my son, and unfortunately, the experience didn't quite measure up to the high standard I'm used to at other Sidecar shops. It felt as though the staff were unhappy to be there, which made the service feel a bit lacking. That said, my son absolutely loved his strawberry doughnut. Thank you, Sidecar, for consistently making excellent treats that always put a smile on our faces!
