    Absolutely OBSESSED with this place! I grew up in Iran and been telling my American fiance for 5 years I can't wait to one year take you back to my own country to taste an authentic Persian sandwich! This place is as close as it gets!! I've been living in LA for over a decade and soooo happy I finally found a place that taste like home. Super cheap too! We got the German sausage, kotlet and beef tongue! My parents looooved too and they're harsh critics. Thank you for an amazing experience

    Tongue sandwich.

    I was craving a sandwich so I yelped up for a sandwich place in the area and this one popped up. To my delight, everyone was raving about the tongue sandwich (I love tongue, esp if it's cooked well) at this place. Despite the negative and terrible write ups about the man who builds the sandwiches, I decided the idea of a delicious tongue sandwich was worth the risk. For $9, I got myself a very very hefty tongue sandwich with the Persian pickled cucumbers (which I've always preferred over American pickles). The sandwich was delicious, as was the tongue, but I will say that I was very very disappointed with the bread. It tasted like cardboard, but luckily the meat in the inside made up for it. If the bread was better I would probably give this place an extra star. It's a very very small place, maybe with 5 tables inside + outside at most. Don't expect to get the best service, just go in and out. I can't speak for the sandwich maker who is apparently the worst in client service. It wasn't so bad for me (knock on wood), but maybe it was cause I went in prepared and fearing the worst.

    The kind gentleman behind the counter let me sit and work on my computer. Very chill and quiet place with nice views of the mountains. Plenty of parking earlier in the day. Nice experience overall. The food all smells delicious.

Matcha quality is good but it was definitely overpowered by the mango. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here specifically.

    First new coffee shop of the year! We were in the area so I picked one that stood out to me per…read moreYelp recs and this was the one! We luckily found street parking up front, otherwise they have a small street nearby that you can probably park in as well. Only two people were ahead of us when we walked in but shortly after, the place filled up with the line almost out the door! There was only one worker but she made it work and she was fast! Cute decor and vibes inside. I wanted to try the pistachio bliss that everyone seemed to rave about but since their seasonal menu was out, I went for the toffee nut iced latte. The drinks are a bit on the pricier side, cute cups though! Something about the drink I got was a little off putting. Idk if it was whatever spice they used but I was not crazy about it. I definitely want to come back and try the pistachio at some point though! Getting out of my parking spot was rough. Busy street but also some annoying guy parked in the red zone behind me, basically bumper to bumper and then another girl in front had A LOT of room in front of her and just didn't give me enough room. I luckily made it out but very annoying! Anyway, still looking forward to coming back to try their pistachio bliss! IG: @ammysalamii

They have some nice seating and tables on the side of their building down that same residential street and they also have umbrellas for shade which is nice. Walked in and what a beautiful cafe! You immediately notice all the musical instruments which makes me think they have live music some times. Ordered at the counter and asked what their "RAF Latte" was and the guy mentioned it was for the customers who wanted them to be more on the sweeter side and less strong so I went for their Horchata latte. Took a few minutes to get my drink but as soon as I saw it, it looked absolutely delish! And it was. Super creamy, still on the sweeter side but the creaminess is what I loved most about it. Still strong enough for my liking so I would definitely come back and get it again! IG: @ammysalamii

I got the iced tiramisu latte. It was okay. A bit too on the sweet side for me. I still finished it because I wasn't about to let $11 go to waste. It came with a ladyfinger cookie which was a cute touch. Unsure if I'd come back; maybe if I was in the area again. But that's me. I still recommend others give this place a shot. Oh...pretty much street parking only.

Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. Walking into a coffee shop should feel welcoming. Instead, most visits feel cold and uncomfortable. There is rarely a hello, welcome, smile, or thank you from the staff. The overall attitude often feels bothered or uninterested, almost like customers are an inconvenience rather than appreciated guests. The coffee itself is decent at times, inconsistent at others, but customer service is what keeps people coming back. I truly hope the owner and management take this feedback seriously and focus on creating a more welcoming environment. A simple greeting, smile, and positive attitude go a long way. There are many coffee shops people can choose from, and feeling appreciated matters just as much as the product itself. I wanted to support this business, but after many visits and the same experience over and over again, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

The staff was friendly, and the cappuccino was solid. Well made, balanced, and definitely worth ordering. The morning bun was just okay.

The coffee is SUBPAR though, so my go-to is just hot tea. Nothing special. The food is a complete hit or miss. Some days it's great..other days not so much. I come back in hopes for the goodness. The service is REALLY what I have a problem with. As someone mentioned in another review, it feels like you're bothering them when you get to the register to order. The employees rarely look up, rarely acknowledge that I'm standing there waiting. They literally act like they're on island time, a simple "I'll be right with you" goes a loooong way. Also, I'll NEVER forget the one time that rude employee literally lied to my face when I walked in early in the morning for a study session and the music was BLASTED (to get them pumped, to get them going...I get it) but I asked him to please lower it just a little bit and he straight up said "we can't do that, it's just this volume." Bro, I was there at least 4 times a week. That's NOT how loud your volume is. I'm a PAYING CUSTOMER, who usually gets food too so at minimum I'm spending about $20+ , maybe consider that next time you treat me with disrespect.

    My Cafe & Lounge is a beautiful corner café located right in the heart of Glendale. The exterior is…read moreelegant, well-lit, and inviting, making a great first impression. One thing I appreciated immediately was the parking. There is plenty of street parking, a parking structure directly across the street, and additional parking nearby, so getting there was surprisingly easy. As soon as we walked in, the owner, who was sitting near the entrance, warmly welcomed us. We initially started walking toward the cozy booth section in the back, but were told that area is reserved for dinner service and wasn't open... We weren't the only ones confused, as another guest came in shortly after and tried to sit there as well. That left us deciding between a few café tables downstairs, outdoor seating, or the upstairs loft. We first tried upstairs, but there were only a couple of two-top tables available. One was occupied by guests working on laptops, and the seating felt a little close together. The remaining tables were reserved for larger parties, so we ended up heading back downstairs. One of the available booths faced the restroom, which isn't my favorite, but I simply sat on the opposite side and it worked out just fine. Once we got settled, everything improved. Our server was friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. I ordered the French baguette turkey sandwich, while we also tried the spicy chicken sandwich, which both the server and the owner highly recommended. The owner even mentioned it's what he personally eats almost every day, and I can see why, it was delicious. We also ordered fries to share along with two hot lattes: a chai tea latte and a mocha. Both coffee drinks were excellent and easily some of the highlights of our meal. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, making it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a coffee date. Before dessert, the owner recommended the mini pancakes and the waffles, with ice cream. They both looked great, but I've had similar desserts at several other cafés recently, so I wanted to try something different. I ordered the brownie with ice cream instead, and I'm so glad I did. It was rich, fresh, and absolutely delicious. One thing the owner emphasized was that they use fresh ingredients without preservatives and focus on quality. After our meal, I believe it. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and made with care. Our total for two people, including tip, came to about $120. It's a little on the pricier side for a café, but you're also paying for the ambiance, quality ingredients, attentive service, and the overall experience. Overall, we had a very enjoyable visit. My only suggestion would be to make the seating situation a little clearer for first-time guests, since several of us naturally gravitated toward the closed dining section. Other than that, the welcoming hospitality, quality food, excellent coffee, and relaxing atmosphere made this a place I'd happily return to.
