    inside of the Earl Grey Eclair.
    Shushanik P.

    Being the sweet lover that I am and my son being a very picky pastry chef, he adores this Cool Bites Pâtisserie. I have passed by this place few times and always wanted to give them a try. I have still yet to explore and discover this bakery that people speak so highly of myself. My son frequents this place pretty often and always raves about almost all of their baked goods and to my surprise, he doesn't compare them with his own baking. Surprisingly true since he is very competitive. He has been to this shop 6 times in total whenever he is in Glendale and will bring home big box of their delicious baked goods and we both share the pastries together. Sharing is always caring! Seriously one bite of each, and you will feel like you are in HEAVEN!! Last night after his work, he stopped by this lovely, beautiful bakery shop and got us 12 pieces of pastries of many different kinds. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the place is super clean. I told him to take few pictures and he did. Prices are a tad expensive, but you get what you pay for. Don't know their parking situation but I am sure you can park your car, bike, somewhere. He says that the staff are super nice, friendly and helpful. I think they really found the perfect name for their establishment!

    Came here for the petit gateaus although I came a bit late in the day and the selection was very limited, but thankfully they still had the number one thing I wanted to try: LE PISTACHE! It's beautiful, looks so much like a pistachio nut scaled up like 100x, and has a lovely natural pistachio flavor inside. The center has some sort of salted caramel that made this very enjoyable. The strawberry milkshake did taste like yogurt with a pleasant strawberry flavor and some jelly in the middle. Like all petit gateaus I've had so far, they're quite cream heavy. I liked the earl grey eclair too and the color is gorgeous. I'm not sure if I'm losing my mind but I swear they had a banana petit gateau at some point but now I can't even find a picture of it. Service was friendly, she taped the pastries to the box so they didn't shift, and even left the top off so I could take a picture hehe. People seem to rave about the Saint Honore and I'd like to come back and try it. Free street parking in front!

    I enjoyed the stuff here a lot!! I came here on a weekday in the afternoon and there weren't many people here. I parked in the Trader Joe's parking lot so I found parking easily. I got many things to try from here. I will say depending on your taste preference, you will either like or dislike certain things. However you will find something you like if you are more into fruity things or chocolate things. From a fruit standpoint: I enjoyed the Lemon Tart and Strawberry Milkshake From a Chocolate/ Hazelnut/ Pistachio standpoint: I enjoyed the La Noisette, Chocolate Cake, La Pistache, the pistachio tart, and the Ferrero Eclair. I did not like the Hazelnut Balls (did not like the texture) and Carrot Cake (too much icing). 8 pastries are very filling and it costed me around $115. It is expensive but it is the craftsmanship and artistry you pay for in these places. The pastries are so unique and honestly worth the money if you want to try it. I will be coming back for the La Noisette. It was my favorite one!

    Matcha Cherry
    Karl K.

    Came back for a second visit and had to update my review from 5 stars to 3. Everything still looks great, but the flavors just didn't hit the same this time. The matcha cherry didn't really taste like cherry at all, more like some kind of tart, acidic fruit that was hard to place. It ended up being more confusing than enjoyable. The lemon pie was also a bit much. The cream felt really heavy and overly buttery, which kind of took away from any brightness you'd expect. The pistachio tart was okay, but it basically felt like their usual pistachio dessert with a crunch added, nothing too different. Overall, the presentation is definitely there, but the flavors didn't quite follow through. Hoping it was just an off visit because I'd like to see them doing well again.

    Pistachio and earl grey eclair

    This place is literally dessert heaven! I am a BIG sweets person and Cool Bites had something to satisfy every craving one could have. Upon entering the establishment, you'll see a dazzling display of desserts of various colors, textures, and flavors. They're all so beautifully and thoughtfully created that I'm sure you'll have a difficult time making a decision. There were three or four pistachio-forward offerings which is great for me but the sales associate said she likes the pistachio tart so I chose that. My boyfriend decided on a carrot cake that was housed in a small plastic box, and I got a Earl Grey and pistachio eclair. They also had baked Brie and squash and goat cheese pastries as well. I wish I had taken pictures of everything but I only got a photo of the eclairs and it's so much more beautiful in person. My pistachio tart had a perfectly flaky crust with a cream inside that melted in your mouth. It was the perfect amount of sweetness that complimented the other flavors and wasn't overwhelming. My boyfriend's carrot cake was perfectly balanced with the just the right amount of cream cheese frosting and sweetness. We were both dying over how good the cake and tart were. I know the eclairs will be just as impressive and satisfying. We took the order to go and our order was carefully placed in a box with the items taped down so they don't move around. There are some table outside so you could also sit and enjoy your desserts there. I look forward to going back to try some of their other desserts. It was the perfect way to end the evening.

    Chocolate cake

    I've been wanting to check this place for a while, so I was glad to finally try the desserts. The exterior and interior are beautiful and very welcoming. I loved the French patisserie vibes, and the owner ( I believe) had a smile on her face and was welcoming, which I appreciated. There were so many different dessert options to pick from, and I wanted to try so many, but they are a bit on the pricey side, so it's not something I'd get all the time. I was craving a good chocolate cake, so I got the cake, and my boyfriend loves eclairs so he got the earl grey eclair. The desserts were beautiful but I wasn't wowed by either dessert, unfortunately. They were good but not amazing. Maybe I needed to try a different dessert. I'd be open to trying something different next time.

    Gâteau en Tasse Strawberry - Not good. It was some strawberry cheesecake flavor filling and the cake was too soft and crumbly.
    Sarah C.

    8/20/2025 Went on a Friday afternoon. No lines. There were plenty of pastries available. I brought all of the pastries home, so it slid around my car and the bag fell to the side, so unfortunately the pastries are a bit smushed. Éclair Earl Grey Bleu Choux pastry was soft. It would have been better if the pastry creams were filled per order. As shown in the picture, the eclair box moved in the car, so most of the glaze was came off onto the box. Glaze on top is sticky. The glaze does have a floral flavor, but it was sticky and had an odd aftertaste. I think the éclair tasted better because most of the glaze came off. The earl grey filling was good. It had a good flavor inside. But I wouldn't get this again. Gâteau en Tasse Strawberry This is sold as a whole cake too. The strawberry flavor did taste a bit fake. The filling also had a strawberry cream cheesecake flavor. The cake texture was soft and crumbly. Not sure what cake it was, but I didn't love it. It wasn't vanilla cake. The filling was on the sweeter side. Not good at all! Raspberry Petit Gâteau It had a tart raspberry flavor that was refreshing. The outer raspberry shell was unique and loved the raspberry cream inside. Really enjoyed this dessert. Tart Pistachio It had a good buttery tart crust. Filling was smooth and had a natural pistachio flavor. Nothing fake in flavor. There were plenty of pistachio nuts sprinkled on top for crunchy texture. I think pistachio lovers would like this dessert. Customer Service Only one person working at the front. Service was okay. She did answer all my questions on the pastries I've selected. Parking Street parking. It wasn't difficult to find street parking next to the bakery. It's not a busy area.

    What a delicious sweet treat to get with a friend. This boutique offers luxury pastries for an affordable price ($6-$15). They are all aesthetically beautiful pastries. When you walk inside it feels as if you're about to buy an art piece at a museum. We were greeted and helped right away. We asked what they recommend and the pistachio tart and Saint Honoré were the two to try. The pistachio tart was good, I would give it a 7/10. The star here was the Saint Honoré, this is a delicious light and creamy pastry. It was heaven and I would order it again and come back for it. Overall a positive experience and will be coming back to try more of their yummy desserts!

    Pistachio Tart
    Jessica G.

    Having desserts as my sweet (weak) spot, I was extremely pleased by the recently flourishing gorgeous cakes shop in town. More and more places offered them in different part of the city and trying to play catch-up here, I kinda ordered my visit-plan based on the reviews I read or watched and how people who've tried some of them assigned the ratings.  Having said that, Cool Bites went to my top next-to-visit list after trying Tucha. Even Catherine Zhang (the one behind Tucha) did claim it's good, so that's so intriguing doubtlessly. The store's interior and look did give that exclusive feel, kinda matching the price tags of what they offered. Did some baking myself, I prolly got more and more appreciative with the effort required to serve such jaw-dropping presentation. Furthermore, reading through each of the dessert's descriptions on what ingredients they featured, you could tell there were tons of elements orchestrated together to deliver spoiling taste.  My dream certainly would be having a bite of each stuffs on the showcase, but the tummy surely couldn't afford it LOL. For this initial visit I went for the attendant's recommendation based on their favorite item, the Pistachio Tart. Simply said, it literally had pistachio in any form you could name. Pistachio cream, ganache, paste, and even the crunchy bits covering the cake. Not only mind-blowing display, this cake did hit the jackpot on flavor. Crunchy base shell, creamy center, and decadent pistachio taste. OUT OF WORDS! Saying enough, pay a visit and witness it yourself

    3 noisettes, one merveilleux, one coeur (St Valentin special) and 2 éclairs chocolat. Oh yeah!!
    Tonie L.

    I honestly did not know what to expect the first time I went to Cool Bites. Would it be form over substance? Oh no! That's the full package ladies and gentlemen! Beautiful inside and out!! We have tested quite a few offerings, all tasted excellent. Still we have our fav ones: the chocolate éclair and my personal old time favorite the "Noisette"! The people working there and the patissière herself are all very kind, welcoming and professional! Even if you are not from the area, take a chance and drive for a try. Enjoy!

    Amazing cherry matcha pastry
    Susan A.

    Very delicious eclairs, mirror cakes/pastries, sandwiches, and beef stroganoff. 10/10 for everything.

    Stephanie G.

    For us this was quite a drive... I am glad we went, but maybe I hyped it up too much in my head. Don't get me wrong, the desserts were tasty, but it wasn't mind blowing. We tried a variety of items. And most of the party felt the same as me. Everything was good. For me personally, the cherry matcha wasn't matcha forward enough. I did enjoy the tart cherry inside. And I've never had a cherry matcha before. The Xmas ornament tasted like lemon, even though only peach was mentioned. So that was a bit confusing. All of the textures were perfect. I think everyone's favorite was the vanilla eclair. I wish I could have tried everything.

    Ask the Community - Cool Bites Pâtisserie

    Do these need to be refrigerated immediately, or will they maintain for several hours at room temp?

    What is the sugar content in your pastries/cakes. I cannot stomach eating dessert overwhelmingly sweet?

    My wife says they are not overly sweet. They're more like Italian or French pastry for dessert, but they are not cheap.$$$$

    What's the price range for full size cakes?

    $50-$95

    How do I order a cake? I don't see a way on the website.

    Just call them if you want regular sized cakes. If you want individual cakes, just walk in.

    Could I order bite size pastries?

    Of course. Just call in advance. Make sure you ask for their menu and you know what you're ordering. It's not cheap.

    Is this only a catering company or can you eat here?

    Our catering company is a separate business. This is our pastry shop. However, we do have both indoor and outdoor seating if you’d like to enjoy your pastries and coffee here.

    Anything on the menu for vegans?

    No, sorry about that.

    Their desserts are good! Unfortunately the matcha latte has to be the worst I've had (I normally…read moredon't write reviews but this had to be done). For one, the matcha powder was not properly whisked with the water (or the water wasn't hot enough) so there were visible clumps of powder throughout the drink. At the bottom of the cup there were small black particles, not sure if that was also the powder or something else. The drink itself tasted mainly like milk a little minty and fishy though. The drink was ready within 3 minutes of orders so I'm not sure what their process of making drinks is. This could've been an off-day but I don't really want to try again to find out. Stick to the desserts!

Always a pleasant experience at these bakeries. This Glendale bakery café was clean, bright, and beautifully organized with a large variety of pastries, cakes, and drinks on display. I tried the Strawberry Soft Cream Cake, Berries cake, Curry Croquette, and their signature iced Korean lattes. The pastries were soft and flavorful without being overly sweet, and the cakes looked just as good as they tasted. The curry croquette wasn't a favorite of mine. It was my first time trying and the spices didn't amaze my palette. I will have to try their garlic bread next time if I feel like getting something savory. Their sweets are always a hit for me!

The lack of follow-up after reaching out only reinforced the poor customer service we experienced.

    Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café…read more Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café reminded me that we live for the wonderful experiences that remain to be discovered. After a wonderful lunch date with my wife at Raffi's Place (please read my review and thank me later) in Glendale, I decided to look for the perfect dessert. After scouting several nearby locations, I decided I was in the mood for a great cinnamon roll. Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café looked like the place that would deliver the experience I was seeking. SDLBC is listed as being in Glendale, but it's located in the historic Old Town of Montrose. That's beside the point; I only mention it because there are additional places to explore just up the street. We arrived around 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday, and there wasn't much of a selection left, including the highly sought-after cinnamon roll. The gentleman behind the counter greeted us warmly, and I immediately asked if that was all the pastries they had. He said yes. I contemplated leaving because of the nonexistent cinnamon roll, but I didn't want to be rude, so I decided to give the bakery a try since we were already there. So, we basically took half of what remained behind the glass display case: a Peach Almond Croissant, a Raspberry Pistachio Croissant, an Almond Croissant, and then my curiosity focused on a few lonely-looking pastries that were unfamiliar to my discerning eyes. I asked the gentleman what they were, and he replied with something that sounded completely foreign to me: Kouign-Amann. Kouign-Amann (pronounced queen ah-MAHN) is a traditional pastry from the region of Brittany, France. It is often considered one of the richest pastries in the world because it is made with just a few simple ingredients in generous proportions: bread dough, butter, and sugar. Figuring we needed a few more sweets for the road, we took all the remaining Kouign-Amanns. Two were the traditional version, and the other two were filled with crème and blueberry jam. We also ordered a Café Americano and a Café Mocha. While we waited for our drinks, I simply couldn't wait any longer. Like a kid on Christmas morning, I eagerly opened my gift and dug right into the Kouign-Amann. Hesitantly, I tore off a tiny piece with my fingers, expecting nothing extraordinary, and instantly gave birth to a brand-new experience that exploded in my mouth. The crisp exterior gave way to the soft, flaky center, followed by waves of what tasted like delicate honey. I tore off another piece and shared it with my wife. One look at her eyes told me she wanted more. By the time our drinks were ready, we had devoured one of the Kouign-Amanns and confessed to the gentleman behind the counter that we had just experienced pure ecstasy in the form of a pastry. Kouign-Amann is, in fact, one of the richest pastries in the world, so don't let the unfamiliar name keep you from trying one. The Café Americano and the Café Mocha were also exceptionally well prepared. With everything that's happening in the world these days, a simple yet profound experience like this reminded me how wonderful life can still be. Like Arnold said... "I'll be back." Enjoy!

    I stopped off and had to have the chocolate mousse sponge cake. It's gluten-free and I will tell…read moreyou they have a lot of really delicious things to try. The croissant selection is incredible. I love the indoor seating, but they also have outdoor seating. I washed it down with a short Americano, two shots and I threw in some extra cream. It's delicious. The coffee has a nice mild flavor, but nothing beats the sweets. I have to tell you this chocolate mousse cake is the right portion otherwise I would eat the whole thing in this case the powers that be more wise and gave me a slice and Man was it delicious.

    I'm always on the hunt for a Piroshki, one of my favorite delights that I think originated in…read moreRussia and is East European by origin. I think Papillon is Armenian which I believe has European cuisine, as Armenia is considered geographically to be within Western Asia (the Middle East) and the South Caucasus region. Sitting within the mountainous Armenian Highland, it acts as a transcontinental bridge between Eastern Europe and Asia. Their Piroshki is long and thin, whereas I'm accustomed to them being robust short stocky and round almost resembling a giant baked potato in size and shape. So these look like a "Chinese Donut" a.k.a. Youtiao (油条) in size and shape, same girth but length maybe 6"-8" long. What I liked is the filling of the Beef was minced ground beef with sauteed onion bits mixed into a blend and seasoned with a bit of spice but overall was very moist and juicy and the fried dough was very good. So, I'd recommend that. Oddly, I tried the Beef and Potato reluctantly thinking the pure beef option was going to be better... and the Potato was soft and perfect so I'm thinking they're equally good depending on your mood. I tried the beef empanada, and it was very good, similar flavor of the beef empanada to the piroshki but not exactly the same, otherwise I might say the empanada is bigger and gives more protein of the ground beef. The desert shaped like a peach fruit was very good. It reminded me of Asian style deserts where they're not overly sweet and has a healthy refreshing taste more so than being too overwhelming with thick sugary creams. I found out they have multiple locations. It feels maybe the Armenian and Russian community in So Cal are more toward this area and The Valley, so I do have to take what could be a 60-90 minute journey to come here, and even longer of a commute to their other locations. I think they'd do well in the SBBC (South Bay Beach Cities) down South past Santa Monica but before Long Beach and Orange County. I'd recommend this place for the food and service.

    Recommended by Armenian friends to try out this international bakery and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!…read morePonchik was really delicious, I don't know how else to say it. Freshly prepared and warm upon reception, loved the custard filling in particular and I strongly recommend everyone to try this at least once. We also got their perashki and it came out fresh and hot too. Total wait time was around 5-12 minutes
