Been on a low-key quest to find bread that doesn't suck. You know the kind... The stuff that ruins…read moreyou after a trip to Europe. Most of what we get here in the States is sad, bland, and bloated with ingredients that sound like they belong in a chemistry lab. But this? Wildflour Artisan Sourdough? This is the kind of bread that makes you stop mid-bite and go, "Damn." First off, the loaf is beautiful. Not "oh that's nice" beautiful! It's rustic, crackly, hand-scored, I'm-gonna-take-a-photo-and-stare-at-it beautiful. The crust is deeply caramelized with a rich, golden-brown color, and it has a bold ear (that signature raised edge from the scoring). The scoring itself is almost too pretty to eat. A delicate leaf pattern that's both rustic and artistic, dusted lightly with flour to make it pop. Maybe give it a little character as well. The loaf has that satisfying contrast between the crackly, blistered crust and the clean, intentional scoring. It looks like something that belongs in a Parisian bakery window or a still life painting about comfort and obsession. You can feel the love that went into it. And you can taste it. Yeah... this isn't just bread. It's craft. And the baker... yeah, she's not just slinging carbs for profit. She sent me an email breaking down the process, and I swear it read like a love letter to wheat. Organic everything. Fresh-milled Rouge de Bordeaux wheat from a regenerative farm. Cold fermentation for up to 32 hours. A rye starter that's alive and thriving. This is three-ingredient poetry. And that she could talk about bread all day. What hit me, though? I asked her about nut allergies because my daughter's allergic, and most people either freeze up or give you a half-answer. She was thoughtful, honest, and admitted that cross-contamination might be a concern. Didn't brush it off, didn't try to sell me. I could tell she just cared. That alone would've sold me, but the bread did too. Bottom line: if you've ever wanted to know what sourdough should taste like, this is it. A little crusty, a little chewy, full of tang and soul. And yeah--I could probably talk about this bread all day too.

Had my eye on this local bakery for some time - the decorative loaves always catch my eye at our…read moreweekly farmers market - so when I saw the artfully made pumpkin-shaped sourdough loaves on Instagram I just had to have one for our Thanksgiving table! I ordered that and several of the dinner rolls and it was all absolutely delicious! Wildflour is a small locally owned bakery that takes orders via the website and allows order pickups every Friday either at local coffee shop Grey & Cash from 8am-2pm or a "porch pickup" from 2pm-8pm. They're also at the Monrovia Friday farmers market occasionally as well. The owner, Karen, is very friendly and communicative and helped me with my confusion over my dinner rolls order lol. My pickup was ready right on time and everything was perfect. The dinner rolls are huge and dense but soft when you bite into them with a lovely light flavor - they're versatile and went well with all of our savory dinner items as well as the leftover cranberry sauce. But the pumpkin-shaped sourdough loaf stole the show for sure - not only is it beautiful but it's some of the most delicious sourdough bread I've ever had - texture and taste were flawless. It's velvety soft inside with a nicely crisp crust on the outside - not too chewy and a perfect hint of the "sour" that you get in sourdough. She offers many other loaf styles as well and her prices are very reasonable given the quality and level of organic ingredients used. Her website states that they source locally, use a variety organic/heritage/ancient grains, and mill the grains themselves which I love. I've been scouring the area for an all natural, local baker like this - like the way things used to be done haha! I've definitely found my local go-to baker and intend on getting my bread here going forward! Highly recommend!!

Feedback from my wedding in July of last year. I did reach out a few months after the wedding but…read moredidn't hear back. Spent: $2,332.54 Services: Wedding Cake, Desserts & Ice Cream This was unfortunately the vendor we were most disappointed with which was a recommendation by Calamigos. Our initial interactions with James was great--he is a genuinely kind person--but the final product was not what we expected. The biggest issue was the wedding cake itself. It looked nothing like the inspiration photo we had provided. We ended up making last-minute changes because we were so unhappy with how it looked. There also wasn't any check-in leading up to the wedding to review the final design. While we certainly could have reached out ourselves, I also think it's reasonable to expect some proactive communication from the vendor before creating such an important centerpiece. Beyond the appearance, the cake itself was very dry and lacked much flavor (many of our guests complained). On the positive side, guests said the ice cream was delicious and they liked the other mini desserts but I don't believe it was enough.. One additional note is that I don't believe two staff members were necessary for setup and breakdown, especially since that also required providing two vendor meals. It felt like one person could have comfortably managed the service.

I also asked for her to add strawberry filling (since it was a girl) into the cupcakes so that when we bite into it we could all find out the gender together. As you can see, Chay did a beautiful job decorating the cupcakes. The colored swirls she added was a nice touch. I wish the inner colored filling was a bit larger for impact, but overall they were still beautiful and tasted amazing. She used quality ingredients and I could tell right away. I would definitely work with Chay again if I need to bring cupcakes to a party!

This review is only regarding their Almond Senbei…read more Whenever I go to H Mart in Arcadia, I also pick up a package of Peniel Bakery's Almond Senbei. I purchased something that looked like Almond Senbei at a different bakery. They called it Almond Brittle. Indeed it was like a brittle. It was not teeth friendly. On the other hand, Peniel Bakery's almond senbei is thin and very easy to bite into. My husband usually does not want to taste my items from Asian stores or bakeries. This time he asked if he could have a piece. I thought to myself. Oh no! Why? I only purchased one package, and I know that once you have one piece you'll definitely have another. I was correct. He ate numerous pieces. Once my friend saw my husband say that he liked the Almond Senbei, she also tried a piece. She's also someone that usually says no thank you, whenever I ask her if she wants to try something that I'm eating. I know that sharing is caring. I would have purchased 3 packages, if I knew that I would be sharing MY Almond Senbei. LOL Now that I read reviews about their mochi, I'll definitely be purchasing that in my next visit to H Mart.

I ordered a regular 4 pack off uber eats as part of a bundle and only really enjoyed one of the flavors - the textures are way too doughy and thick for my liking and they almost seem terribly undercooked. In the 4-pack we opted for the s'mores brownie, blueberry cheesecake cookie, chocolate chip cookie, and the snickerdoodle cookie. The only decent one was the blueberry cheesecake cookie. The flavors were great and if I had to get Crumbl again it would only be this flavor - but again the texture was just too thick and doughy.  The other two cookies were bland to the point of just being wasted calories. I felt like I was eating paste. I had really high hopes for the brownie bc it looked awesome and I love anything with marshmallow. It tasted nice enough and the marshmallow icing was good but the brownie was insanely thick - and again very doughy and seemed undercooked.  The cookies and brownies are massive, so in terms of quantity the high prices may be justified - but the quality definitely isn't there for me. I don't think I'll be trying any more Crumbl cookies - I only keep giving them a try bc I feel like they should be much better than they are lol.  Since this was part of an uber eats order I can't speak to the location or the staff - just the quality of our order.

While there, I also decided to try their vegan donuts out of curiosity, both a simple glazed and a maple one. Honesty, the donuts very much like regular donuts, so job well done. The man behind the counter was friendly and was able to assist everyone that was there, maintaining small talk conversations and offering suggestions. Would definitely stop by again more treats.
