The cakes here are incredible. My husband and I ordered the Iraqi Karak Tea, Hot Lime Tea, Biscoff Cake, and Pistachio Chocolate Cake. The hot lime tea was warm, comforting, and had a slight tartness that I really enjoyed. The only thing I would note is that it may not be the ideal pairing with their desserts because the tea itself is also fairly sweet. As for the cakes, both were fantastic. The Biscoff Cake was honestly one of the best cakes I've ever eaten. It was rich without being too greasy, perfectly balanced, and the Biscoff flavor came through beautifully. The Pistachio Chocolate Cake was also a huge winner, with a great combination of nutty pistachio and decadent soft chocolate flavors. We came for a casual meetup and left talking about the desserts the entire drive home. Price: Prices were very reasonable considering the quality. Tea drinks are generally around $4-6, while specialty cakes such as the Biscoff Cake and Pistachio Cake are about $12-14 per slice. Overall, expect to spend around $15-20 per person if you're getting drinks AND dessert, which feels like a great value given how impressive the cakes were. Ambiance: The café has a cozy neighborhood feel and serves as a nice place to sit down, catch up with friends, and enjoy Iraqi tea and desserts. It doesn't try to be overly trendy or flashy, which actually adds to its charm. The focus here is clearly on the drinks, sweets, and hospitality. Service: Servers were friendly and welcoming when getting our order. We felt comfortable hanging out and chatting for a while, and the staff were helpful when answering questions about the menu. Parking: Since it's located in like a strip mall/shopping plaza on Brookhurst, parking was relatively easy and convenient. There's a free outside shared lot in front.

SUPER bummed because I really enjoyed having nearby bingsoo. Gardena location is still open. For me, it is too far and I don't have a reason to frequent that area. It was a cute little spot with delicious, creative flavors and soft texture. The sweetness was just right. We loved coming for a late night dessert or bringing our friends who visited to this spot. The only con was really the parking because it was next to the gym. I will miss this spot and I hope another quality bingsoo place opens up nearby.

While eating lunch a few blocks away I was craving ice cream and used Yelp to find something…read morenearby. I arrived only a few minutes after they opened and was greeted by a friendly owner. This shop serves all sorts of amazing looking desserts and unique creations. It took a lot of willpower to stick with a scoop of ice cream but I need to return to try more stuff! I got a scoop of the "baklava crunch" ice cream. I expected just some baklava sprinkled over ice cream so I was pleasantly surprised to see it was fully blended into it. Truly delicious and captured all the flavors of baklava. There was no "crunch" though so maybe they should sprinkle a bit on top. I also tried their "Filo Tea" which is hot organic black tea with a choice of fresh mint or sage. I went with sage which the employee let me know is from Jordan. This was a spa in a cup. A relaxing experience that eased away stress. I really enjoyed my experience here and can't wait to try more. The knafeh topped with ice cream I must try!

So tasty I forgot to take a photo of it before eating a few bites!…read more The ice cream here definitely tastes fresh and the lemon mint ice cream was really refreshing and light. It's more similar to a sorbet. This place became my husband's favorite! I recommend the fruit flavors, all the ones we've tried were great.

Amazing bakery in the Fullerton area! Everything I had here was good and delicious…read more There were so many unique and pretty pastries to choose from from cakes to croissants. I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries. Overall, a great bakery and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Fullerton area.

The chocolate ganache cake was not really my cup of tea, but I think that's my own personal preference. It was bitter, which I know ganache can be sometimes. I also tried their cookie croissant, which was decent, but the croissant was pretty hard. The bakery is super cute though. I do want to try their pastries, but was disappointed with the few items I got sadly.

I ordered a chai and it was amazing--smooth and not overly sweet. We also tried a few pastries the coffee cake, scone, and the cinnamon roll. They were just as flavorful, and hard to stop eating.

The plain yogurt was ok, reminded me of whip cream cheese and yogurt on the thicker side. Toppings ok as well. With everything blended just a bit different than expected than an açaí bowl. A bit more on the richer side in each bite. I think if return back would mix it up more with fruit and other savory flavors, cute spot but wouldn't be rushing back to. Glad to have tried it out.

PB is located in a corner mall with other stores and restaurants with lots of parking. Despite the time, there were still a good amount of items for sale. Picked a couple of savories and sweets for about $20, alright prices. Shout out for the strawberry waffle w/chocolate, and the good ol' pastry frank! Recommend and will repeat!

The dulce de leche cake was so well soaked, and the chocolate shell was a nice texture contrast. However, the cake was a little too sweet. We also tried the mini chocolate pancakes with strawberries and bananas. This was a classic, and the fruit helped cut the sweetness of the pancakes. Service: The service was really nice, and they explained the various components of dishes which was helpful before ordering. Ambiance: This place is so well-lit and cute! However, the surrounding area is slightly unsafe with some smoke and alcohol shops around. Just a heads up, however everyone does their own thing! The shop's bathroom's handle was loose, and we were a little confused on if someone was using it or not, so we used the bathroom at the nearby Dollar Tree. If you are a chocolate or dubai chocolate lover, definitely give this place a try! You can order a few items and share with friends, as they are generous with their quantity!
