I'm always down to check out new trendy spots esp. when it revolves around food. I stumbled into…read morethis adorable little shop that's basically a flavor lover's dream. Shelves are packed with a great selection of spices, rich oils, specialty butters, and the kind of desserts that make you stop and do a double take. I originally came for the insanely good crunchy sesame butter by Rooted Fare (it was one of their locations), but after having some conversations with the girl in front, then I found out they host pizza and ramen pop-ups too! Safe to say I'll definitely be back soon to check those out. It's small shop with big flavor energy!

Stopped by for the pizza popup-/ so delicious!! Best pizza in Cerritos. I sampled a variety of…read moreflavors- regular pepperoni, spicy pepperoni, and pesto. My favorite was the spicy pepperoni! Must have sides: the potato situation!!!! Omg it's insane! I should have ordered more. It came with 5 balls and my family enjoyed it very much Meatballs: super yummy and flavorful with the side of garlic toasts. Everything was sooo good!! I wish this was here all the time.

Padekwa This is a…read morereview for my experience at Padekwa. It is a coffee shop/creative studio. Padekwa is Haitian Creole for "You're welcome." Words to describe Padekwa: Positive vibes, Great spot to work/study, Relaxed, Artistic, Creative, Serene, Peaceful, Safe, spacious Location: It is located by Dollar Tree/7-11. There is plenty of parking because it's in a plaza. Drinks: I ordered their specialties-bananas foster latte and beignet cappuccino. Both served hot. They were delicious! I can taste the sweetness of bananas and beignets. Way to go baristas! After sipping on the coffee nectar, it inspired me to get working on my projects. Food: I also tried their brownies and coffee cake. They were both generous slices and appetizing as well! Environment: I really love the aesthetics and atmosphere at Padekwa. You see the personal touches of family life and community. I also love the poem on the wall about art. Thank you for providing a wonderful home for people to create and share! If you need a cup of coffee, inspiration, and a place to work, I highly recommend visiting Padekwa!

First impression was amazing! I thought I was entering someone's home that's how cozy it feels…read more.. you walk in to an intimate nook with a library of books and plenty of seating in the front... they also have a boardroom/meeting room to brain storm ideas over coffee and treats with a team you might be working with... in addition to that they had ART EVERYWHERE! It was like a free art show with a cup of coffee and good vibes! They had art in the front area and the back lounge area! THEY CRANK THAT AC!!! So if you are looking to escape the heat grab a coffee and snack and chill awhile! The staff is sooooo friendly! I'm 99% sure this is family owned and by the looks of it all female owned as well. They take the name to pa'dekwa seriously cuz I felt very very welcomed! Now the coffee! I got the collagen crush!!! And DANG! That drink is super tasty especially knowing there is healthy benefits from it. I took the suggestion from the lady at the register and added a touch of hazelnut to make that "Nutella" flavor (THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION) Overall I WILL be back! When I'm treating myself to coffee solo or with friends this will be my top spot! I can't wait to "catch" their FISH FRY!! (They try at least once a month)

I dropped in for lunch and waited about 5 minutes to be seated. The waitress was very nice and this…read moreplace was packed except seating facing the kitchen. I ordered the Creamy Crab meat Gratin, Uni Pasta, and coffee. The Gratin was decadent, but I specifically came for the Uni Pasta. It was flawless and had a beautiful presentation. The pasta also came with a side salad and bread, which were delightful. Even the coffee was tasty!

We heard about this Asian fusion pasta restaurant, so we decided to try it today. We got there…read moreabout 20 minutes before the restaurant was opened. Since the restaurant is pretty small inside, we were glad we were one of the first people in line. If we get there at noon, there will be a wait for sure. There were 3 of us. Two of us ordered the Mentai Pasta and one ordered the Uni Pasta. They really know how to cook the pasta just right. Both dishes were very tasty. They Uni Pasta has lots of sauce, but the Mentai pasta got a bit dry toward the end. The server was very nice. We sat at the table for 3 hours and she did not rushed us out. We appreciated that.

This small convenience and grocery has been open for thirty years!…read moreI knew about the fruits they carry and stopped in after eating at the restaurant in this plaza. Got a package of black grapes - these were so sweet and had seeds - that's a great thing to enjoy - far too many seedless varieties in grocery stores are not sweet. Also Washington State grown cherries (summer bounty) were very sweet. I added two sugar bee apples to our purchase. Also carries many grains (rice, lentils) in plastic packages. Drinks in refrigerated cases. Accepts credit cards but there is a 3% transaction fee, so I used cash. Friendly lady at the counter, small store has a lot of stocked items! A lot of cases of peaches, plums and citrus for the summer.

Their international selection is impressive, featuring everything from Spanish to Asian specialties, but there are two things you absolutely cannot leave without: ​The Phenomenal Cheeses: Their Gouda and overall cheese selection are out of this world.

They are unmatched!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for the first time in at least a decade. I was immediately…read moregreeted by a man with a pony tail as I went directly to the deli counter. I waited for a while and received no assistance so I asked the guy for help. The man did not speak Dutch so I explained to him what I wanted (salami deli meat). I asked him for a pound of deli meat. I went to shop around the store and noticed the fridges were empty as were the isles. After a few minutes I came back to the deli counter and found my uncut piece of meat (in tube form) placed on the weigh scale? To my dismay I asked him if he was going to cut it with the pretty slicer machine near him? I mean that's how it used to work and how it works at any other deli meat counters. As the man cut the salami I continued to shop and picked up a jar of silver onions that looked brownish ( the onions inside the jar) and I thought well maybe they are supposed to look this way. Maybe they were a different type of onions. When I thought to look for an expiration date again to my dismay I observed that it had been expired since 2023. Unfortunately I purchased extra pedas chili which looked ok but when I got home I found out that it has been expired since 2018 (please see attached picture). This wasn't the worst of it though because we found a jar of something with leafy green bits that had been expired since 2013. Yes 2013! Bro! You think I should try the chili? You think I'll survive? This place has gone to the pits. Hopefully a health inspector straightens this place out. Furthermore when I got the salami back the slices looked as if my he deli meat cutter blade was very dull.

It's a mix of dark and white chocolate, and honestly it was so good. Super moist and creamy, and not too sweet. Just a really nice balance of flavors. Everyone in our family loved it. We also got the cashew silvanas, and those were a hit too. Buttery and crunchy, definitely something we would order again. We are already planning our next visit and are excited to try more of their items, such as the Zed cake and the yema cake. Service was very friendly as well. Overall, such a great find and definitely a place we will keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

Remember to ask for extra sauce and if you get a sandwich I'd recommend getting it extra toasted. The place is small, but clean and has 2 tablets to.order off of. Parking lot is busy because it shares it with many other shops, but pretty easy to still get a stall. Service was nice and quick. The worker even checked in on me while I was browsing the menu.

You can either order at the counter or the kiosk. The cashier did ask if I had any questions or needed recommendations. She recommended the bacon and cheese sandwich which was what I got. I ordered the combo which came with the bacon and cheese egg sandwich. It came with hash brown bites and option of either orange juice, iced or hot coffee. Surprisingly I got the OJ. I also got the iced New Orleans latte. Also a really good drink. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it was pretty heavy for my stomach. However I would be back and try something else.
