One slice is $7 this month. We got the cinnamon banana bread, but the cinnamon was only on the top of the bread. Even so, not enough cinnamon. The banana bread itself is very moist which I enjoyed. Nothing too special honestly. Just a very standard banana bread. We did not expect such a thick slice for the price, so that was great! Service was great. They ask if you want a middle or edge piece. read more

I got the cinnamon variety as the OG chocolate chip wasn't available which I was told is their best seller. Nonetheless, the bread was fatty, crumbly, moist, not too overpowering with the cinnamon. A good start to the day with my coffee. I love banana bread, make it at home, and my consistency is not as moist like theirs. It definitely gives me something to work up to. The lady working the stand offered great service and was easy to chat with. At $8 a slice, I would get a whole load if she allowed a sample. I'm not sure if she would or not, but you would get more bang for the buck! It is a farmer's market after all. read more

This is a banana bread stand located inside the grove farmers market. We came here on a holiday and got a slice of the nut banana bread for $8. There was a server behind the counter who was quick. It's just a stand, but you can sit and eat at any of the market tables nearby. It's a fairly simple stand, a the bread had a good mix of sweetness and savory. read more

This is the small counter location inside of the Market Place at the Grove. The girl running the counter is very friendly and had a great information about the selections. She also told us that the brick and mortar is located in Brentwood. I hope to visit there some day. The banana is the best of course and the double chocolatel, chip, is delicious as well. The bread is not too sweet or overly buttery which can be with some sweet loaves. Anyway, Enjoy! read more

$8 for a slice of dry flavorless banana bread $40 for a loaf. $2 for a small container of cream cheese icing that was maybe 2 tablespoons. The banana pudding was better than the bread and I assume they take day old slices and put them in a very subtle banana pudding. For 9.75 this is a better buy. I know this is the Original Farmers Market and they cater to tourists but if this is really what they have to charge maybe the rent is to high. Others love this place so maybe I am being to picky sotag you are it to try. read more

I stumbled upon this place last weekend shortly after arriving in LA. The price had me think twice, but I treated myself since they have a Vegan/Gluten Free option. It was excellent!! I bake banana bread and receive rave reviews and I must say that this is better than mine. Yesterday after a conference, I went back for more! The staff that helped each time were great! Note: they validate parking at the farmers market, which factored into my decision to go a second time -- because parking is ridiculously expensive at $3.50 each 15 minutes! read more

Pros: Truly delicious banana bread (I got the plain). Better than my homemade version. The service is fast and friendly. Straightforward selection. Minimalist presentation that emphasizes the simple joy of banana bread. Cons: At $8.75 per slice, not including tip, I definitely experienced sticker shock So I chalk this up as a "once in a blue moon" treat. I'm going to assume their business model relies on the impulse shopper vs. the repeat customer. read more

The BEST banana bread in such a fun area. We loved going to The Groove when we lived in LA and wanted our teens to see it. Walked by and had to stop at the cute booth. We had a sample and bought the one with the sugar topping. The employee was so sweet, she gave us a sample of the icing to try it together. We promised to be back on the way out of town on Friday and that was the first stop. Bought slices of: blueberry, big banana, the sugar topped one and one chocolate chip. read more

This banana bread is MOIST. I even left it in the open bag overnight on accident and it still retained its moisture. I've had the regular, cinnamon, and blueberry banana bread and all of them were delicious. You really can't go wrong It also had the perfect amount of sweetness without being too sweet. This place is a must when you're at the Grove. Couple it with some ice cream or coffee and you're golden. The woman at the counter that served us was really nice too & gave us a sample.

It was my first visit to GBB and I ordered 2 different slices, as I wanted to sample their bread. They were served pre-packaged and I didn't discover that both were small end pieces until after I'd left the area. Perhaps all single slices are served this way, hence the pre-packaging? Regardless, I won't return to find out. I strongly dislike the end piece of any bread and for $8/slice, it was definitely not worth it. read more

went to this place for some banana bread. located in some outisde food court. exterior and interior is just a stand with shared outside seating with other vendors. clean with funky decor. simple menu with diferent flavor banana breads..ie..og, chocolafe chip, cinnamon etc. served sliced or whole loaf. also has banana pudding that looks like those ready to eat pudding you see in grocery stores filled with chunks of their banana bread. ordered the sluced standard plain banana bread. total damage $8. breads are presliced and already in togo pouchs and served room temp. 1 minute later got the food. amd the verdict. its ok to good i guess. taste like a regular banana bread. nothing special. slice portion is bigger then grocecy store though. 1/5 of a loaf that you buy from a grocery store whole loaf. and served room temp. but at $8 its pricey for the portion you get. should be more $5-$6 ramge. anyway, i wont eat it often due to price but once in awhile isnt bad. read more

I ordered the Coconut Hojicha and the Matcha Einspanner. The Coconut Hojicha was refreshing, nutty, and definitely the standout of the two. It's such a fun twist on the typical matcha coconut drink, and I have to give Damo their flowers for creating something that feels unique. The Matcha Einspanner wasn't particularly stand-out compared to some of the other cafes in K-Town, but it was still a well-balanced drink with a nice mix of bitterness, sweetness, and creaminess.

The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor.

There's a bingsoo place we LOVED in Dallas called "Wicked Snow" and this is the closest we've had to Wicked Snow. I enjoyed the texture of Anko's bingsoo more than other places I've tried. We got 3 flavors: strawberry mascarpone, mango & hojicha. I usually love anything mango flavored but surprisingly I enjoyed the strawberry one the most! - it tasted very natural/not artificial. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. I still enjoyed the mango as well but this one actually tasted a big more artificial, but the fresh mango was perfectly ripe & added a good amount of sweetness. Hojicha was good too but definitely more "nutty" - still great if you don't want anything fruity! Staff were nice and even tho there was a bit of a wait for the desserts, it didn't take too long for them to come out. We surprisingly got lucky with street parking but they also have valet parking available. Will 100% be back and trying the taiyaki next time!

This sort of hyper-realistic fruit pastries has become so popular in LA so i'm so excited when I get to try them. Mine was filled with a jammy, fresh puree along with a nutty butter filling.

I'm obsessed with Gone Bananas Bread at the Farmers Market! This bread is a total game-changer - moist, delicious, and utterly addictive. The fact that it's made by a charity project turned business founded by long-time friends Estee Stanley and Leah Smith makes it even more special. I've tried several flavors, and each one is a masterpiece. The OG Choc Chip is a personal favorite, but the Bluenana and Big Banana are close seconds. The prices are reasonable, and the delivery options are convenient. What truly sets Gone Bananas apart is the passion and dedication that goes into each loaf. You can taste the love and care in every bite. The market stall is always well-stocked, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you're a banana bread fan or just looking for a sweet treat, do yourself a favor and visit Gone Bananas at the Farmers Market. Your taste buds will thank you! Pros: Delicious, moist, and fresh; wonderful flavors; reasonable prices; friendly staff Cons: None! read more

It is served in a plastic to go cup that resembles a soda can so it is sealed until you are ready to drink it.

White Label Cookies

These cookies are thicccccccccccc and they deliver…read more They have a special process for their baking of starting with a cold fermenting for 72 hours of the ingredients, having a salty bottom and a gooey center. It makes for a really unique chocolate chip cookie that is inches thick and just delicious. As a chocolate chip cookie afocinado, the flavor is the most important thing and White Label Cookies have fire flavor! They make small batches so the earlier in the day you get there, the most selection and options you have. When they sell out for the day, they sell out! They usually have about 3 options so you can get a few to try but I highly recommend the standard chocolate chip. It's SO good. They have really friendly staff working their cookie window ready to serve you their oversized treats. Cookies are currently $10 and they have some drinks for $2.50. They say each cookie weighs about 6 ounces ~ sheesh! Super instragrammable. Closed Mondays & Tuesdays! They do GF cookies on Fridays! I'm so glad to have them in WeHo and can't wait to try every cookie on their menu! A welcome edition to WeHo!!!

White Label Cookies - West Hollywood…read more Stumbled onto this walk-up spot and I'm so glad I did. Great little space, and the owners are genuinely friendly -- the kind of place that makes you want to come back just for the vibe, let alone the cookies. And the cookies themselves? Impressive doesn't even cover it. These are big squares, a solid 2 inches tall, but somehow still soft with this fudgy, almost brownie-like texture. Not your average bakery cookie. A few standouts: - **Salty Bottoms** -- a daily staple, and for good reason. It's an awesome chocolate chip cookie on its own, but that salty bottom takes it to another level. Perfect sweet-salty balance. - **Thick Mint** -- their take on the Girl Scout thin mint, except thicker and 100% better. Not even a close comparison. - **Blueberry Corn** -- this is the one. Imagine the best blueberry muffin you've ever had, somehow transformed into cookie form. Incredible. Worth noting: outside of the Salty Bottoms (always available), the flavors rotate daily, and they've got over a dozen different varieties in the mix. So there's a real reason to keep coming back -- you never know what you'll get. Bonus: I kept a couple for a day or two and they were still just as good -- soft, fresh-tasting, no staleness at all. That's rare for a cookie this size. Highly recommend if you're in WeHo and want a cookie that actually feels like an event. Will be back.

Anyways order two chocolate rolls *don't know what they're called* she asked if I like chocolate I responded with a yes she smiles at me and tells me she'll get me fresh ones from the back but unfortunately they weren't ready so she asked if I liked cheese ? And I sure do ! She bagged me a warm fresh cheese pastry gave her a $5 tip that she wouldn't accept but idc . I'm a food critic! And some of the reviews might have scared some people away over bad customer service comments. Ok back to my review, I get in my car and took a bite of the warm cheese pastry and it tasted good! You can instantly tell when a pastry is fresh from the first bite ! So yes I will be returning for fresh chocolate rolls & I rate this bakery a 10/10 and maybe start supporting small family owned businesses and give them a break this economy is so bad everyone deserves chances!

I cannot speak on this place enough!!! My daughter and I went there expecting to just get one bowl,…read moreand upon trying that one bowl we were hooked! We have been back almost every single day since then lol!!! The customer service is amazing including the owner himself! The ambience is relaxing and calming (I LOVE their furniture and decor of the place), but the most important (besides the customer service) thing is the food and that is an A!!! The food is so good that every time we go in we meet other regulars who also frequent Better Bowls one daily basis. The concept was the star attraction is the protein bowl. The yogurt in the bowl has 40-60 gram of protein!!!! (They have a vegan option which has half the protein but still it's a lot at 20-30 grams). And the selection has of ingredients is what makes you keep coming back for more. I personally love the Bliss, the peanut butter drizzle based, and the Beauty bowls. Or you can customize!!! They also have other light healthy food, drinks (protein drinks options as well!), and protein coffee options as well (yes you can also get regular coffee too). My favorite is their Matcha protein drink which has around 22 grams of protein!!! And to top it off, Better bowls has a variety of protein bars and protein drinks you can take on the go!!! It's conveniently located in heart of WEHO on Santa Monica between Erewhon market and John Reed fitness. I challenge you to stop by and at least try ONE bowl. You too will be hooked!!! And you can thank me later!!!

It was extremely last minute and I was trying to find anything I could while also getting my sisters cake of choice. I found Cake Monkey Bakery online and they seemed very promising. I called and asked if they were able to do a cake within 2 days and to my surprise they said possibly! They asked me to send an email or to come in with an inspiration picture to see what they could do and they exceeded my expectations! First off, the place was lovely with the neon signs and beautiful pastries displayed. I was greeted very nicely by Esmerelda and Nancy and told them my situation. They told me it's no worries and that they were able do the design of the cake with the exact color in no time! They asked a few questions and showed me similar cakes they have done in the past and they looked great. They said they'll keep me updated if anything happens during the process. Coming back 2 days later was a breeze. They called me the day before to tell me I can pick it the time I requested. Again with a warm welcome, they showed me what the cake looked like and I was more than happy, it looked just like the one my sister wanted. Service, cake and timing 10/10, my sister was even more happy with it. So again, thank you so much Cake Monkey Bakery and especially to Esmerelda and Nancy! I appreciate you guys!

The chocolate chip cookie with rice krispies "Summer Camp Chip" ($4.25) has delicious flavor and if you enjoy soft & chewy with a slight crisp, they hit all textural marks for excellence. This has become our absolute favorite snack to get here and I gots to have it every time I'm in. The chocolate pop tart is solid. We prefer the taste of this to the brownie cookie...we aren't big on that one. I had such high hopes because I love brownies and obvi love cookies, but alas, personal taste preference. The chocolate cake pudding ($4.25) is a rich and decadent treat that can be eaten right out of the wrapper it comes in! I was surprised I loved this chocolate cake soaked in chocolate custard with a few marshmallows and caramel on top. The Peanut Butter El Rollo is a tiny but cute little guy at $5.50. They make their own peanut buttercream for the inside filling and the chocolate is just wonderful. I like their bars One of my favorite things at Cake Monkey is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cakewich. This mini cakes are just $5.75 and individually wrapped so make for great little gifts to bring to a housewarming or event. Plus it's gluten-free and vegan so all our friends can enjoy it! Cakewiches for the win at Cake Monkey Bakery! I've only tried the Matcha Latte in the drink department here and was satisfied with it. I'd like to try some of their fizzy drinks but they were out of tonic water this morning. Next time! And there will definitely be another time with Cake Monkey Bakery! They just have SO MANY options here, it's easy to find multiple baked goods you can enjoy here. I'm a fan.
