The pastries don't have prices listed so I was pretty shocked when 3 pastries cost $19. I understand small businesses have to charge a premium to stay open. I ordered a Oreja, Dona and chocolate pan. It was just ok. The Dona had no distinct flavor to it. Just plain dough pastry with almonds on top. Was not worth the $9.50. I'm glad I tried this place but I probably won't be back.

You don't have to order ahead, but know they might sell out of your pie. First visit was to sample pies for a birthday celebration. I got the marionberry, salted caramel (GF) and raspberry dream. On the second trip for the actual birthday pie, I picked the salted caramel b/c the group is a chocolate crowd. Third time, just wanted pie! Also sampled the cutie pies in the jar... I don't think the mini pie made it home lol. Today (#4 visit) I was craving the raspberry dream and wanted to try the apple pie. My current ranking of pie I've tried is: 1. Raspberry dream, 2. salted caramel, 3. White chocolate raspberry (cutie pie), 4. marionberry (nicely tart, full of berries but a bit dry, went well with ice cream), 5. whiskey peach (too much crust, not enough peach, not very peachy). The shop has some seating but I only saw one group seated once. I always took my pies home to enjoy. There is plenty of street parking (metered, 15 min free), and here is a parking structure around the back of the block (2 hours free).

I was there around 10am on a weekday and they were already sold out of some items. I'm sure it varies day to day but if you're set on something, pre-order (if available) or get there early. 10am is not early. They open at 7:30.

I chose a slice of ube cheesecake creme brûlée ($6), which he freshly brûléed the top before packaging it to go. My daughter saw the slice in the fridge, asked if she could have some and then proceeded to eat the majority of it because it was THAT good. When it was my turn, I could see why she couldn't stop eating it. It was delightfully light and not too sweet. It's probably going to be one of my favorite things I've eaten in 2026! This little bakery is definitely worth seeking out if you're in Long Beach!

My partner and I ordered 1 slice of Dubai pistachio cream cheese cake, 1 chocolate chip cookie, 1 slice of upside down German Chocolate cake, and 1 cinnamon roll with the nuts and no icing. Service was great, such a sweet young lady that helped us. Here's my review on each item: Dubai Cheesecake - pretty presentation. It was good for the most part but I think I expected more. I personally wouldn't order again. Chocolate chip cookie - very good cookie. The right amount of chocolate chips and it was really soft which I enjoy my cookies soft. I would order another. German Chocolate cake - oh my god!!! That was one of the best German chocolate cakes I've ever had. I enjoyed how moist the cake was and the nutty texture on top was next level. I would definitely order another slice. The Cinnamon roll - this was my favorite thing we ordered. This cinnamon roll was to die for! Pillowy soft and the right amount of sweetness. The roll was so good with the nuts alone that I didn't even need or use the icing we asked for on the side. This was such a delight.

Headed down to the shop and saw for the first time their recently opened restaurant adjacent to the bakery. Lovely decor and ambience. I arrived around 2:30 (the bakery section closes at 3) and was the only customer at that time. The bakery is small and compact. They have a merchandise section- clothing and pantry/gift items, a reach in fridge with drinks, and the counters with pastry case and coffee service. I saw they still had a few pastries, so had to nab the huge pieces of rosemary and olive focaccia! The gentleman helping us was friendly and helpful; we also chatted a bit with the nice young lady in the restaurant. The garlic herb scone I purchased was very dense and herbaceous. I could see it paired with grapes, eggs or soup. The focaccia was moist, a little oily but yummy. The rosemary flavor and herb sprinkling, though, was very faint. Would have loved more! The olive slice was very flavorful. The standout was the cardamom bun! Soft and perfect amount of spice. I enjoyed that with a jasmine tea later and it's my new obsession. Prices are a little high but the quality is worth it for me as an occasional treat!

Even the servers who weren't assigned to our table kept checking on us. I got the chicken caeser sandwich and was so delightfully surprised. The bread is fluffy and light, the lettuce is fresh, and the chicken is so juicy and moist. I also really loved the dressing, which had just the right amount of flavor. My friend got the BLT and said the bacon was really crispy and the sauce was good. Overall really nice restaurant! Would love to see them grow and I would love to come back for dinner!

Originating in Spain, empanadas spread to neighboring countries and across the Spanish colonial network, resulting in many styles and fillings. The online magazine longbeachize.com has a great article on the owners of this business. By now, I've tried every empanada they offer at least once. What I order depends on my mood, but there are plenty of fillings to choose from. I have to say, this shop is consistent--the size and shape of the empanadas and the bread-to-filling ratio. I also appreciate that they mark the pastries, so you know exactly what's inside. But do not think they only serve empanadas. They also have sweet cakes and pasties as well.
