Didn't see too many recent reviews after their remodel so I wanted to add one in, they have have a…read moregood amount of drink/coffee options now! Had the Honey oatmeal black sesame latte and one of their specialty coffee drinks 2 weeks ago, both were really good. On the individual pastry/cake side there's probably 1000+ reviews saying how good they are, and I'm not going to tell you otherwise. Been coming here occasionally over the last 5 years and they have been consistently great. Their black sesame cream puff is what got me hooked. This is the best place I've been to in this area for cake type of dessert (and the drinks are pretty good), highly recommend checking it out.

I recently visited Pâtisserie Chantilly, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I ordered…read moretwo Honey Oat Lattes with the Goma Cloud, and the combination was incredible--the nutty richness of the black sesame cream perfectly complemented the espresso and smooth oat milk. I also tried a freshly made Black Sesame Cream Puff. As someone who doesn't love overly sweet desserts, this was absolutely perfect. It had just a subtle hint of sweetness, and the slightly chilled cream was incredibly refreshing. The staff were so pleasant and patient with me, too. They have such a wide variety of drinks and pastries that it took me a moment to decide, and I really appreciated that they didn't rush me. I will definitely be coming back to this hidden gem!

I came here because it was my son's third birthday. Myla helped us and she was awesome! We ordered…read morefour cupcakes and then I asked about any cupcake besides Red Velvet that had cream cheese frosting. We talked a little bit about it, and I mentioned that I wasn't a fan of the dye in the red velvet cakes. I asked if there was anything else. She said there is carrot cake. Hearing that the carrot cake slices were almost 9 dollars for a generous slice, felt a bit much (especially since it would just be me eating the slice). She said, "hold on a second,"and then checked and saw that there was a smaller slice. She ended up giving me the slice at a discounted rate! She also gave a mini cupcake for my three year-old for free, which was so incredibly sweet and generous. Honestly, the customer service that she provided sold me on this place. Thanks Myla! I'll be telling all my friends about this location, thanks to the incredible customer service I experienced.

PINWHEEL CAFE has been around for a while, and I don't know why it took us so long to try it. Super…read morecute cafe to grab a quick bite or pick up some yummy pastries. Tons of seating and a lot of parking since it's located in a huge plaza. My go-to is the salmon frenchie, which is served on a ficelle -- which looks like a mini baguette. The Parisian frenchie is also good, simple but delicious. I also highly recommend the Californian tartine, which is their version of an avocado toast, and it just tastes so fresh and the flavors work so well together. We've tried a couple of their pastries, as well, but we usually stop by for brunch or a quick lunch. There are so many other items that I need to try on the menu, and I will because this is definitely one of our go-to brunch spots if we're running errands in the area. Staff are always so friendly, helpful, and service is always excellent.

It's been several years since I had a scone of any kind. My one and only experience was a hockey puck, rock hard and pretty much inedible. THIS ONE CHANGED MY OPINION. I guess the one I got years ago was a bad one. This one was soft inside lightly crunchy outside, slightly warm still, delicious and well balanced, not overly sweet. Slightly buttery with a hint of lemon. The blueberries looked real and they aren't stingy quantity. The service was very helpful and friendly, not a hint of snobbery. I'll definitely be returning to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Found this place and was able to grab quite a bit of vegan items for her to try. So my caveat is all this is amazing for vegan- Chocolate chip cookies 9/10 would almost not know it was vegan, it was also fresh outta the oven. Snickerdoodle- 3/10 not my vibe, too crispy Blueberry Scone- 10/10 she lived it Janessa cupcake- 7/10 overall a solid strawberry choice Cookies n Cream Cupcake- 10/10 great cake and frosting Chocolate Lovers Slice- 15/10 our favorite Herb Cake- odd but not bad 7/10 Will definitely go back to try their coffee.

We stopped by today around 3:30PM and received quick service :) they were just bringing out some fresh doughnuts so we were able to get them super fresh! We got to try some new seasonal flavors as well as some classics. Chocolate Celebration Ring - this is a new daily flavor I believe, and I quite enjoy it! The doughnut itself is very pillowy and not dense at all like their other ones. Very different, but a good different. It reminds me of the type of doughnut you'd get at a mom n pop, which is a huge plus for me. The chocolate frosting surprisingly wasn't super sweet. Def would get again. Potato Chip Streusel - this was...interesting haha. The potato chips add a nice salty flavor to the chocolate donut itself. I wouldn't get it again, but worth a try if you're an adventurous person. Celebration Cake - one of my absolute favs. I love that they use almond flour so it has a nice nutty taste. It is very much cake like and dense, but it hits the spot every time. Highly recommend! Old-fashioned - also a great classic! It has a great mix of cinnamon and nutmeg and isn't too overly sweet. Banana Bread Latte - we got to try this and I LOVED it. It was very banana-y and I loved the touch of walnuts added in. Out of all the banana flavored coffee I've had, this was the best. Just a note, cold foam is extra, but so worth it imo! Shout out to Bash for making this coffee so good!

The shop is adorable and I love the decor and cutsie paintings The good: The butter & salt was delicious Vanilla bean glaze was good Maple bacon was my favorite! The bacon was cooked perfectly and not too greasy or too fatty! The maple was thick and sweet. The perfect amount of sweet and savory What could be better: The basil egg Benedict. I had such high hopes. Unfortunately the donut was raw on the inside, both the top and bottom of the donut were gooey and clearly not fully cooked. The donut that was cooked tasted good. The egg was well overdone. Def something I'd be happy to try if it was made properly but just didn't hit the mark.

I originally went to Superior to pick up a few things for a weekend dinner. While shopping, I…read morenoticed Ramirez Bakery and told myself I'd stop in afterward because I was craving a cortadillo. I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, everyone was very welcoming. I ordered a cortadillo and a cuerno, and honestly, it was one of the best cortadillos I've ever had. It was incredibly moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet. I've had cortadillos from other bakeries that were a bit dry, but this one was perfect. One thing to note is that it's not your typical panadería where you grab your own pan. Everything is displayed behind glass, and when you're ready, someone behind the counter assists you. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back for more!

The storefront of the popular full-service catering operation (founded in 2015) in the LA area,…read moreBites & Bashes Cafe in Lomita opened in 2018. My wife and I had an enjoyable breakfast experience, tasting some unique dishes that are worth coming in for. We had a real early errand in the Lomita area, so wanted to take advantage by trying a different breakfast place. They have a really informative website, explaining the owning family's participation and how some of their food is sourced. It's a brunch place (open from 8 am to 2/3 pm, Tu-Su), so needed to wait a bit outside (street parking only, found one hour free parking right in front since coming so early). Menus are available at the front counter, and you place and pay (clover) for your order first. The food came out soon after, delivered to your table. There is a self-serve water jug in the same area as take-as-you-need take-out containers (also saw a self-serve costco-size plastic wrap box for wrapping...such a Korean thing to do). Utensils and napkins are available at the table to take for need. I really like places like this that have optimized the service experience, getting what you need without having to track someone down. Forking Around's Filipino Burrito ($18.95) - a collab with the food influencer 'Forking Around' to put into a breakfast burrito, many common ingredients from a Filipino breakfast. This includes egg, garlic fried rice as base and a vegetable lumpia with longanisa pieces, wrapped in a good flour tortilla. Sides were both a cilantro lime crema and a well made sawsawan. The sausage was not too sweet nor too red (though perhaps a bit too meatloaf-like), and the lumpia in the burrito worked for me. Korean Breakfast with bulgogi and steamed rice ($19.95) - it was served in a cast-iron skillet and the pan had been heated up greatly...super hot when served and still warm by the time we left. The flavor of the bulgogi was solid, and I loved the presentation. Taco Truck Burrito ($17.95) - korean-style al pastor pork, with pineapple and kimchi fried rice and egg. It was good....forgot to ask if the meat was really cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Came with a good chipotle salsa and lime crema. We were done in 30 minutes, from entry to exit. It wasn't too busy, so asked the front-of-house lead where the longanisa sausage and lumpia were made...she stated that it was all in-house. That's really impressive, making an ingredient from scratch that is only used in one dish. This and the elegant presentation and longevity really shows that the entire team behind bites & bashes cafe (catering) knows what they are doing.

This recent visit was disappointing. First, parking is not great. A few years ago they used to have…read morethe small lot on 25514 Narbonne for staff and customers but, now it is for staff only. So it's only street parking. If you need the blue placard parking, there is only 1 space behind their small building. They have Korean and Filipino inspired dishes. Ie. banana turon or ube pancakes, Filipino inspired burrito with longanisa. I chose the bulgogi plate and asked for no white rice and was offered fruit or salad in lieu of. Tasty bulgogi w/a small egg on top yet the portions are very modest. In the middle of my meal, I ordered one more item- the krak fries which were very garlicky. They go for the presentation with the floral and greens to jazz up the look. Hubby's dish was straight ahead- Bulgogi cheesesteak and fries. Also modest in portions. Iced decaf Americano in a plastic cup and OJ in a plastic cup. Kinda odd considering their price points. Some beverages are in mugs. This was more like a 2.75 stars rounded up to 3.
