This is one of my professors' favorite places to get Portuguese egg tarts, so obviously my friends…read moreand I needed to check it out. I can see why he loves it -- the egg tarts are very custardy and rich, with a lightly eggy flavor but the sweetness from heavy cream in each bite contrasting to the flaky crust. We also got the red velvet cheesecake, which was pretty standard. The strawberry and cream cookie was massive and I loved the strawberry flavor! It was a little too sweet for me but for the average American palette is probably perfect. There's a parking lot but pretty limited seating (that gets a lot of sun), so plan on taking it to go unless you want to casually borrow a table next door...

Friends who came to have dinner with us requested that they be allowed to bring dessert…read more Well...YES! We were delighted with the box of cookies and tarts that they brought from Paderia in Santa Monica. The chocolate chip walnut cookies were fat and soft with a slightly crisp exterior. The thickness of them allowed a plethora of rich chips to reside inside. I'm not a fan of chunks of nuts in cookies but these were chopped in tiny pieces, so did not take away from the overall soft texture. The soft peanut butter chocolate cookie was also a huge fattie with peanut butter chips within the chocolate cookie. Both were enhanced with a quick warm-up. I loved both of these cookies and think the chocolate chip is the very best you'll ever find. We also had Portuguese egg tarts. The pastel de nata (if I recall, this is what they are called) I ate was small but good, but I have had others that were more to my liking, with a sweeter custard and a more caramelized top, which I guess is a personal preference. Not to say it wasn't delicious - it was! I love the cookies so much I'll be checking out their Irvine location soon, which is much closer to me.

A HIDDEN GEM. Truly the BEST French croissant & stuffing on the Westside and quite frankly in all…read moreof LA even when compared against pricey French shops such as Artelice, Chaumont in Beverly Hills, Cream Pan in OC...etc. I normally am not an almond croissant person but Five Star Frogs has THE best almond croissant and filling. The filling is soft and decadent, textured but not gritty and it straddles the line by being almond flavor & texture but a slight custard flavor as well. The croissant bread itself is PHENOMENAL. There's a delicate crispy, golden brown shell that crackles when you bite into it. Inside is a light, buttery interior that's soft and airy with distinct layers and somehow cleverly manages to be decadently soft and doughey without being greasy. Honestly a work of art and a true genius in its making - I'm shocked this spot hasn't blown up more and/or hasn't been a brick and mortar yet. From best to least best: * almond croissant (my god I can't stop thinking of this. Both the bread and the almond filling is out of this world) * Chocolate almond croissant (this is ranked second simply because the almond filling and croissant bread is simply that good. The chocolate adds a nice second dimension but is not needed). * apricot danish (so fresh and addictive to eat however the croissant bread is simply more clever than the danish bread and so is the almond filling) * cinnamon raisin bun - so delicious but I hurt so happen to like the other buns more personally * pistachio swirl bun (still REALLY good but nothing compares to the croissant bread). The swirl bun was slightly a bit more dry so I didn't care for this as much but it's still good and the pistachio filling was yummy. Compared to their other options I wouldn't get this option again but still definitely worth the try. Sold at the Santa Monica 3rd St Promenade, Farmers Market every Saturday 9 AM - 12 PM

OMG!!!! Just last night my spouse and I were watching a travel video on YouTube about Parisian…read moreBakeries (Top 10) and the raspberry croissant we were GIVEN by the super nice young lady along with our other purchase looked JUST LIKE that "top 10" Parisian bakery croissant. We bumped into Frogs at the Westlake Village Farmers Market today Easter Sunday after church... It's a beautiful gorgeous day... And oh what a pleasant surprise here... We dug into our Almond croissant 1st, it was perfectly crunchy and oh so incredibly soft & fresh with tremendous almond filling!!! My wife immediately commented "OMG! I could eat the whole thing but it's gotta be over 2000 calories"!!! She is a size zero petite so counts calories & was a gymnast long ago. So she humorously complains... I on the other hand love almond croissants and all tasty things. I must agree with ALL MY Heart and ALL my taste buds that this almond croissant is DA BOMB of croissants to defeat ALL other croissants everywhere!!! It's like MAGIC because this was oh so beautiful with visually beautiful powdered sugar and its' perfect crusty finish ... I've not tried the raspberry yet, as I'm letting my spouse of 38 years go first. So... I must go again to get more but my wife is gonna kill me. She's the dieting "gatekeeper" here and I'm supposed to be on a diet. I need to break my routine for another croissant... From here of course. No, not anywhere else... And I've gotta try some other pastries too!!! So why 5 stars? ARE WE CRAZY??? Nope!!! I'd have given 1000 stars after my first bite of that almond bomb!!! Now I'm gonna try the raspberry croissant except... It's so beautiful to look at I don't wanna spoil it!!! I guess I'll have to sacrifice and just settle for the pictures of it. Actually I'm gonna try to sneak away and get another couple croissants before my wife can notice I'm missing!??? 5 stars it is because I can't click it 995 more times and get to 1000 stars. Nice generous folks ... My wife just called out from our kitchen "...that's like THE BEST almond croissant..." Sign... How can we measure happiness? I know how with another almond croissant!!! [Edited extra] I just sneaked out, my wife doesn't know... I bought two more almond croissants and I'm going to try the ham croissant. Oh these look so beautiful.... Okay, my wife just caught me with the new purchases. And to my surprise, she approves! And she just said we cannot get these every week. Otherwise we're going to gain weight. Quietly, I'm thinking I'm willing to give up other things in my diet to have more almond croissants from Frogs!!!

It's also self-serve for both the yogurt and toppings, which makes it fun and easy to customize exactly what you want. The yogurt itself is really good. I got the vanilla custard and peanut butter, and both were super creamy and delicious. It's one of those places that feels a little dangerous because I can already tell I'm going to want to come back often! Only note (not even a complaint): if they ever rotate flavors, a coffee custard would be amazing. I feel like that would be so good.

We also tried a couple of the pie bites (cherry and blueberry), and both were disappointing. The fillings tasted dried out, and the crust was the only thing that stood out. For a place that positions itself as a premium pie shop, it just didn't deliver. You can honestly find better pie at a typical restaurant or diner for less.
