Normally, Crumbl is REAL SWEET. But we tried the Flamin Hot Cheeto Lime cookie and oh wow I…read moreactually thought this was the best cookie I've ever tried from Crumbl! The combination of Hot Cheeto crumbs and lime is perfect with their super sweet cakey style frosting. It was reminiscent of a key lime pie but spicy with thicker cream. The service was convenient. You just use a kiosk to order and wait a quick sec for yor cookies and bam you're on your way. The staff member was very kind and cheerful. Crumbl should do more spicy / savory collabs, it really works with their signature heavy duty sweetness. We enjoyed our Hot Cheetos sweet snacc ~

We were checking out the new Gelato Mio next door and noticed Napoleon Bakery after parking. The…read moreinterior was so attractive that we were enticed to go inside an check out their wares. Although it was close to closing time, the young man who was minding the shop was very friendly and gracious in answering our questions. They have a beautiful selection of cake slices, pastries, and even coffee drinks available. They do custom whole cakes for birthdays and other occasions. With the name of Napoleon, I thought it was a French bakery. It turns out that they specialize in a number of European confections, including options from Eastern Europe. Without a lot of time before they were done for the day, Dear Hubby and I each chose a cake slice, and we got a cake pop for our Sweet Granddaughter. She got to pick the color icing she preferred, which was nice. The pricing seems fair, especially given the loving care that's gone into baking and decorating each baked treat. We will definitely be visiting again. They are within 5 to 10 minutes of where our kids live, so there you go - a new "secret" place discovered!

We saw this place next door after having lunch/dinner at Boiling Pot next door on Sunday. The…read moreplace looked popular with tables filled on the patio and the pastries on display through the window looked intriguing so decided to take a chance and maybe get a small coffee and some pastries to try. There was a young man at the counter who welcomed us with a wonderful smile. He said his name is Said (pronounced Sa-eed) and asked if it was our first time here. We said it was, so he offered to give us some samples of their most popular bake goods. He said it is made of light custard and it's called soft cake and it is traditional pastry from his country in Uzbekistan that his mother bakes all from scratch. In Asia we also don't like overly sweet cakes so we thought it sounded to fit our taste preferences. And we loved it after trying! My mom said it tastes very similar to the cake she had back in Seoul in her childhood she misses fondly, but she could never have that same taste. Just a little sweeter. But the custard and texture of the cake is just the same. We also got the eclair. And it was pretty good too. But definitely recommend the soft cake!! Sooo yummyyy!! I also got the strawberry cold foam matcha latte and my mom got a small americano coffee. She said it's the best coffee she had in a cafe. Of course superb compared to Starbucks or any other coffee franchise. She says American coffee shops always burn their beans so it tastes burnt, but this place roasted the beans just right. And we also loved the strawberry cold foam matcha. I don't know how, but it tasted like really strawberry was in the drink!! My mom said it's the best strawberry milk she ever had here and in Korea! And she wants to order again when we come by next time. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Food and drinks were all prepared with such care, but given at a reasonable time. Some of these cafes take forever to make your drinks, even Starbucks makes you wait 20 minutes! These other coffee shops make it seem like they're doing some complex chemistry experiment how long it takes for just a drink! But this young guy he makes the drink in under 5 min and it tastes 10x better anything those other coffee shops make, but in less than half the time! I really thought maybe it was really hard making drinks, but this young dude makes it look like a walk in the park, the speed and ease he cranks out the drinks. I think Uzbekistan people must be just built different! and he was also so kind and pleasant taking the time to explain and answer all our questions. Some of these other places wouldn't even bother or make it feel like you're pulling a nail from them the way they grimace. He was so nice we wanted to give a tip, but he even said he didn't want us to. He'd happily accept just our enjoying the food and drinks and would appreciate if we left a review for his cafe. just had to leave a review. Especially after how nice he is. And hearing his story and how it's a family run bakery with the mom baking and son making drinks and running front counter. And an authentic European bakery!! Wow! Aren't we so glad they moved into our neighborhood! A Real quality cafe I didn't even know what I was missing until I stepped into this little shop by mere chance! I Will definitely come by again. And anyone else who discovers this little gem would be so lucky and blessed as us!

The Filipino sweets bring an extra nostalgic feeling for my mother's side of my family. Jason does a fantastic job incorporating the culture's rich flavors into decadent sweets. My go to orders are ube crinkles, buko pandan crinkles, Ube cheesecake and the mango cheesecake. Jason does the extra time to know what his customers want and even asks constantly where he should do drop offs next. P.S. My father is a mango cake enthusiast. Out of the hundreds of mango cakes he has had, he believes that brown baked is the winner!

I happened to see the post that they were delivering on Long Beach and I went right for it! Unfortunately they do not have any vegan options, but it was worth it LOL. They have a minimum of pastries you need to buy. I bought one dozen chocolate chip cookies and the Banana Bread Langka (jackfruit) cream cheese Loaf. I initially wanted the Snickerdoodle bread loaf but they didn't have enough ingredients so I went with that loaf. The cookies were nice and soft in the inside and the outside was crispy! Just the way I like it! What I loved about the Banana Bread Langka (jackfruit) cream cheese Loaf was that it was not too sweet. It was just right! I will definitely order them again when they have the Snickerdoodle loaf available. Hopefully they come back again to Long Beach! *hint hint* hahaha! I appreciated that he texted me before arrival, delivered to my doorstep, and he let me know once he dropped it off. Thank you for the deliciousness! Come support your small local businesses!!!

She created 6 small cakes during the cake tasting and everything was prepared and professionally done from the cakes to the forks to waters and everything! Then came the wedding. She made a phenomenal 3 tier cake and designed it just the way we requested it. Cake was beautifully made but more importantly IT TASTED SOOOO GOOOOOD!!! We chose biscoff flavor and the lemon and strawberry flavor and Erin did not disappoint! My guests were in love with the cakes. I will not stop recommending Erin as a baker for weddings, bdays and more. She is amazing and do not hesitate to choose her as your baker!

We have ordered from Rich Bake Shop multiple times. I personally am not gluten-free, but there are…read morepeople in our group of friends who are. In my experience, gluten-free and non-celiac people alike enjoy these delicious desserts. I can usually tell when something is gluten-free because the texture isn't right. I don't even notice that these are gluten-free. They are truly beautiful, scrumptious, and artisan- professional but with a personal touch. As a chocolate lover, my favorite are the brownies, followed closely by the snickerdoodles. We also hired Rich to make us a custom cake for our daughter's birthday- she wanted chocolate with rainbow unicorns- and he really delivered (see pic). Love supporting a small, independently owned business- especially one that's high quality. Highly recommend!

Trust me I know, I have spent the last couple of months researching different bakers for my wedding cake. Seda's cakes are the only cakes that are truly breathtaking without being too much. The beauty in her cakes come from the simply elegance and the unique details. After some time of looking at the cakes that she had made in the past we finally decided on my design. I cannot wait to take pictures on my wedding day and share with you all. What really sealed the deal for me was the flavors that she bakes. When the words Nutella escaped her lips, I was truly sold. Not only will my cake be beautiful and elegant but it will also have a Nutella filling. Talk about making dreams come true. Thank you Chef Seda for simply being awesome. Will update my review with pics on the day of. I am so excited, I cannot wait.

For years, I've gotten this from Sarkis Pastry, but I was always on the lookout for something closer to the valley--and I finally found it! It's a clean little shop and there was a steady stream of customers picking things up before the holidays. Beware there's very little parking. There was lots of variety behind the counter, but I was focused. The two women working there were friendly and helpful getting me a little tray from the fridge. They packed it up with some pistachios and a tub of syrup. The price for halavat jibne is typical at $15/pound. Their style is a little firmer on the outside with a delicious ashta interior and a fine sprinkle of pistachios. I'm so glad to find this!
