The cutest little cafe ever! All the staff are so friendly, all the baristas are so welcoming and patient! I can tell they all genuinely care about the customers. The owner is very nice aswell. I give this place an 11/10; the ambiance is so cute, the baristas have incredible hospitality, and the food is delicious! read more

An absolute gem of a bakery! Nestled under trees we sat on the cobbled patio. The Banana Pudding Bar was such a fabulous treat. Just delicious! Highly recommend read more

Only had one high chair, not stroller friendly. Food & service is both acceptable and average. Update : there are stairs within the restaurant that make it non stroller friendly. (Only 2 but it still makes it a bit difficult) It's doable- but lots of moms make these decisions based on these types of details. Another patron helped us with the stairs on the way down. I said service and food was fine; both average. Nothing above nothing below. Totally fine. We asked for two high chairs and were told there was only one. I said ok we have two babies, & that was the whole conversation. it was fine we managed. If the owner has a toddler I would assume she's been to coffee with a friend and appreciated the cafe having more than one seating option for the babies. No one said anything about borrowing from Bacari. read more

Came here for a quick bite, coffee, and tea. My friend had coffee and I had tea, and we shared a cute little pastry that was actually really good. Everything came out quickly, which I appreciated. The place itself is super cute, I really liked the aesthetics. It looks like they have a great breakfast menu, so I'd definitely want to come back and try more. Only downside is parking kind of sucks, but overall still a solid spot. read more

Such a cute little bakery tucked behind a few shops and a Bacari on the corner of Ventura and Hazeltine in Sherman Oaks. I drive past their sign every morning and finally stopped in after seeing on social that they were launching a Mix & Match Banana Pudding Bar with tons of toppings and sauces. The BYO option lets you choose two scoops (traditional banana pudding, chocolate banana pudding, or their monthly special) plus two toppings/sauces from a pretty solid variety or you can go with one of their pre-selected combos. They're not just about pudding either as it is a full coffee shop, which makes it a great little hangout spot. I ordered the Cookie Dough style Banana Pudding and it was really tasty. Definitely a fun and different treat. My only hesitation is the price as $11 feels a bit steep. I would probably come more often if it were in the $6-$8 range. The space itself is cozy with both indoor and outdoor seating. For parking, I recommend parking in the residential area behind for free street parking. They share a small lot that can get cramped and at certain times it's valet-only. Overall, a fun spot to check out if you're in the area and craving something sweet and a little different. read more

Super cute spot hidden in a little alleyway right on the side of Bacari in Sherman Oaks. Happened to be driving by and saw a sign saying best Banana Pudding and that caught my attention and made me stop. I start walking down the path thinking what am I walking into, and all of a sudden there's cute cafe tables setup in the courtyard area, then you walk into the shop and it turns into a completely different vibe but still adorable. I got a combo Egg and Avocado Croissant, Iced Mint Tea, and Banana Pudding. The sandwich was pretty good (not amazing, but satisfying). Unfortunately I wanted to love the pudding but was a bit disappointed. There was too much soggy wafer in it with no fresh crunchy ones. Taste was okay, but certainly far from the best I've ever had. They have a bunch of other pastries and huge cookies that look tempting so I'll likely come back to try other things when I'm the mood for a treat. read more

This place has been on my list for a few months and I finally has the opportunity to go. The service was helpful and friendly 5 star for sure! Unfortunately, when it came to the main event, the banana pudding, I had to adjust my overall rating. The dessert was so overly sweet and disappointing after the anticipation and hearing good things from other people. I tried a custom with two simple mix, strawberries syrup, and extra vanilla wafers, because I didn't want too many mixes and too much sweetness, but the underlined banana pudding was still super sweet and lacked any sort of interesting subtle flavors. I've had other high-end banana puddings at other establishments, such as the famous one at Magnolia Bakery, and definitely much better balanced, and had a fresh homemade taste. I and two other tasting companions felt similarly about the basic banana pudding without any mix ins and because the shop was about the banana pudding, and their banana pudding customization bar, I had to adjust my rating to three star for the overall experience. Also for the record I did purchase a cappuccino with an extra shot, which was perfectly adequate. I wish I could give them another star, but unfortunately, the main event was so disappointing that I can't, even though the sitting area and service were great. Perhaps if I had the simpler palate of a child, this experience would have been better. I think that maybe people love this place because of the addition of the way too sweet mix'in's but as for me, a banana pudding purist, I will pass. read more

Whether I'm stopping in for breakfast, coffee, lunch, or just a sweet treat, everything is fresh and homemade. The cutest little cute cute. The bakery cases are filled with temptations, the portions are generous, and there is something wonderfully old-fashioned about a place that still feels centered around good food and community. The pathway leading up to it is very European. And of course the banana pudding. Great photo ops here too. read more

Very cute bakery with so many variations of banana pudding. If you love banana pudding and love to see non traditional takes on your favorite foods, I would highly recommend this place! I got a lot of help from the owner, who was very kind and helpful on what banana puddings to try. I love when the owner is present and involved with the business, it shows a real passion for the food they're selling. My favorite was the peanut butter banana pudding. I wish the pistachio strawberry match pudding had a little more matcha to it but it was still so good. I also really loved the strawberry shortcake banana pudding, tasted just like strawberry shortcake. I've never seen these flavors available for banana pudding before, I was absolutely amazed! I will definitely be back. I loved the ambiance, from the pink walls and games inside to the flowers and plants surrounding the patio tables. read more

Such a cute place omg!!! It's a little hidden but the huge pink sign up front helps a lot. I loved the banana pudding I got with my friend (I believe it was the Oreo one and my friend did a build your own). It was super delicious but too much to eat in one sitting. They have special drinks along with other things you can order like a combo sandwich, drink and cookie. The outside is pretty as well. The employees are super nice and helpful too I love this place! Definitely worth trying! read more

First tried Schatzi's at their cart in Simi Valley and we have become addicted to their banana pudding. When we heard they were opening a banana pudding bar at their bakery in Sherman Oaks we had to drive down and try it. Their bakery is super cute and welcoming. I had the peanut butter chocolate banana pudding and my husband had the strawberry shortcake banana pudding. Both were delicious! Worth fighting the 405 to try it out. read more

When they say "best banana pudding in LA" they're not lying! This has pretty much replaced ice cream for my roommate and I. The monthly flavors are always really fun to try but you honestly can't go wrong with just classic. Besides that, this place is so cute and clean. The staff are very friendly and happy to help if you have questions about anything. We've ordered bread a few times from them and that's amazing too. It's also a great place to take people who have allergies or dietary restrictions because they have so many options between the coffees, teas, and pastries. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet coffee spot in the Valley (and some really really good dessert)! read more

I came by this cafe while driving by the area and decided to have breakfast w/ my dad here. This is a new(ish) cafe to the area with both indoor and outdoor seating. They have cute merch, a lot of sweet drinks and pastries with a few savory options. Our barista was incredibly sweet. Lavender matcha latte 2/5, ok so this was just an incredibly sweet iced lavender drink, don't think there is much matcha in this but if there is the ratio of syrup : matcha : milk is definitely off Cherry danish 4.5/5, this was good! definitely also very sweet but I expected that from a pastry and I liked the jam Overall, the place is cute aesthetically but I think this would be better enjoyed by families with young kids given the sweetness of what we tried. I didn't get any coffee but other reviewers seemed to enjoy it so I would recommend that instead of the matcha, unless you want a super sweet matcha. read more

We had reservation at Bacari Sherman Oaks in 30 minutes and I needed caffeine. This place was next door. It is a hidden jewel, a garden of paradise with patio seating as well as indoor. Inside u can see they love Disney just like my honey. Customer service was just amazing. They are so happy and helpful. They have German pastries, the apricot croissant looked so delicious but going to eat soon. My sugar was going up just devouring this stuff with my eyes. Honey Cinnamon Late So good, perfect foam. So many choices. Why can't this place be in Sacramento? I would give up Starbucks forever. read more

Cute little bakery/coffee shop located in the same complex as Bacari in Sherman Oaks. It reminded me of the local candy store I would go to as a kid. Loved the pink bright color and the bins of assorted candy. Our barista was very sweet. My iced brown sugar latte had too much milk which she tried to fix but it was a losing battle. Next time I will order a hot coffee:) The baked goods looked good and they have gluten free options. I got a gluten free churro croissant which was good. There are a few tables inside and several outside. *During the morning you won't have any problem parking in the lot. After that, no promises. I would park on the street. read more

My neighborhood pastry and coffee shop. I often forget they sell coffee because we usually go in for the mouth-watering pastries and other fun things. Their pasties are incredibly fresh, made each day. German-owned, I believe, you can taste the difference in their pasties, everything is so yummy but not overly sweet in the way typical highly-processed American baked goods are. There are small inconsistencies in each pastry showing the true homegrown-daily fresh practices they employ and I love it! My whole group is now addicted, we especially favor the cherry danish. We haven't had a bad thing yet, just our favorites. Hidden in the small building complex near high-life and Bacari, this is a small-quaint, don't-want-to-miss spot that almost transports you to a small European village the second you enter its doors. The women in there are always supremely friendly and welcoming and have our orders down. It's great! Do yourself a favor and stop in! read more

This small and hidden bakery/ candy shop is located off of very busy Ventura Blvd in the city of Sherman Oaks. The shop itself is not visible from the street as it is located in between other businesses and to the rear of a large restaurant. There are small pop up signs placed on the sidewalk directing you to this shop otherwise, many would never know it existed. Once inside, WOW! it is very colorful, nice, and inviting. If you are into coffee, pastries or candies, this is your place. The shop itself is small, cozy and offers limited indoor and outdoor seating and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Several of their candies are imported but they also make their own as well as breads, cookies and an unbelievable banana pudding which has me hooked! I am glad my wife and I discovered this hidden gem. read more

I love love love this place. The PERFECT stop for coffee on Valentine's Day! I love how much seating they have added and it's just so adorable inside. When a coffee shop is cute, comfy AND has great coffee? It's the biggest win of all! I'm not a sweet coffee person, but I wanted to try the rose flavored latte. It was perfect. It wasn't too syrupy or sweet and the foam was soooo delicious and had the perfect consistency. They have a lot of diverse beverages on their menu that I am looking forward to trying. Customer service was very good as well. This is a total neighborhood spot and true hidden gem! They have a bunch of pastries, both sweet and savory, but I think depending on the time of day you go, they may have a smaller inventory. I picked up a heart shaped donut (cute!) for Valentine's Day. They even have a little candy bar where you can create your own goodie bag. I wanted to try the Dubai chocolate, but they only had these huge bars of it at the time ($35) and it would have been to much for just one person to try. This is a great spot for a coffee date, meeting, or weekend hang spot. They have plenty of outside seating too in the adorable little courtyard. I brought my laptop with me and found it to be a great space with good wifi to get some work done! I absolutely love it here. It's totally hidden off of the main BLVD but you've got to make the stop and check it out! read more

Despite the sometimes challenging parking situation, Schatzi's is a hidden gem off of Ventura Blvd. Set back behind other businesses, it's a nice quiet spot to meet a friend, do work, or just grab a cup of coffee. Their coffee is strong and the food is delicious - what could be better? Good seating, good wifi, and good music make this an excellent spot to stop by. Special shout out to the Turkey Avocado Sandwich - something about it is just truly delicious...maybe it's the pizza dough bread, maybe it's the combination of pesto and avocado, or maybe it's the sheer size of the sandwich. Don't miss it. read more

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place to anyone who likes to support small businesses. The lack of warmth and subpar customer service is astounding. But I guess if you are not white like them, you won't get the same treatment as every other review here states! I will not be taking my business here ever again, whoever the owner of this place is not only is egotistical but has egregious attitude towards a criticism regarding her staff's service. On top of everything she keeps stating that I bought my items in separate transactions. I have the digital receipt... read more

Second time trying this little cafe. The staff is super friendly and they have plenty of seating. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our coffees. Both were bitter and not quite right. We ordered the Maple Sea Salt Late and an Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso. We also bought two pastries hoping they would be unique but they didn't look and taste just like the pastries sold at Jon's. Bought a pastry for $7 and the exact one can be found at Jon's for $3. It's a great spot if you're in a pinch. We unfortunately will not be returning. read more

So happy to have found this hidden gem tucked away in a little garden grove This is a German coffee shop called Schatzi's Bakery and Café.

Constantly see this place posted on social media so I decided to make the 25 mile drive from Simi Valley at 10am on a Sunday morning to pick up some pastries. I checked the order online link to see what was available. I did not order online though as I wanted to see if maybe they had additional options in the shop. DO NOT LOOK AT THE ORDER ONLINE LINK. You will be disappointed. My husband is German and was so excited when he saw they offered slices of apple cake that looked like his mom used to make and was eager to order that. So you can imagine our surprise when we arrived and were told that what's in the case was all they had available. I asked about the apple cake and they said they did not have it that they had it yesterday. Then I asked about apple strudel and again they said they didn't have it today. They had it yesterday. What kind of German bakery doesn't have apple strudel every day? It was frustrating because online as I sat there and ordered, they showed available to order online, but in person I was not able to get them. They had a sign up that said they had Berliner's every single day so I asked about those. They didn't have them either. Why not take the sign off the counter if you don't have them available? I asked what days are the best to come in that has the most variety in stock they said they don't really know it varies. It's pretty much hit or miss. We ended up with a gingerbread cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was hollow inside and the middle was raw, but the flavor was good. The cherry Bavarian danish, which was the best thing that we had was nice and flaky and cooked perfectly. We had the banana pudding brownie which the pudding part was good, but the brownie portion was very dry. And finally. We tried the gingerbread banana pudding, which was just a huge miss. It was grainy and the flavors just didn't go well together. We also had coffee. The biscuit buttercream latte really didn't have any flavor. The iced sweet sleiigh brew was excellent, and I would come back for that. I wish I liked it more as the Design of the bakery, and Café is so cute and quaint. read more

Super cute place that's hidden in Sherman Oaks. Super cute design and sweet workers. They had a good variation of pasteries and coffee. I ordered a matcha latte with almond milk and it was good but not the best. I was a bit disappointed in the foam but I understand that not many baristas are able to create a good foam with almond milk. They also had a good lunch selection but I will need to try it another time. read more

Schatzi's is a nice little cafe with a great outdoor seating area. The staff and owners have always been very friendly. The drinks and pastries are good but there have been some outliers of meh pastries but for a small operation I can't complain too much.

Needed my caffeine fix and stopped by here for the first time. Not the place itself is super kitschy - so if you're gonna judge a place based on aesthetics, you're gonna miss it. Besides the decor, the coffee and pastries hit! I got a simple hazelnut latte and the roast they used was great, balanced not overly sweet, and the pastries were super fresh (got the vegan apple tart). I'll be coming back for sure. read more

Sorta split down the middle on this spot. I want to really love it because it's so conveniently located for me. I'll start with the pros- Aside from location, the ambiance is really great. Inside is fun and bright, but the exterior courtyard is really the star of the show. It feels like an oasis off Ventura. You're surrounded by greenery and it makes for a lovely start to your day. The pastries are also fantastic! Every single one i've tried has been a hit, my favorite being the Spinach Tart, but the sweet pastries/cookies/donuts i've tried have all been outstanding. Now for the reasons i'm torn- My main issue is the quality of the beverages. I've so far tried two of the specialty lattes, an americano, and a matcha latte, all iced. Every single one has been thin and leans watery in flavor (aside from the americano, obviously that being mostly water i can expect a thinner consistency). For the price of the beverages the quality is a rough justification for me. The service has been hit or miss as well- I think for all of my multiple visits i can clearly remember just one positive interaction. Others weren't necessarily poor- when it's busy i give a lot of leeway for service, and on a couple of these occasions it was clear to me that the guest before me was being difficult so i couldn't blame them for wanting to keep things moving. However, on my very first visit I asked the gal at the counter the significance of the pink table and chairs with the old food on it (assuming there's a cute story about the owners or something) and she didn't say a word, just shrugged and waited for my order. The first time I brought my boyfriend i mentioned to him how much better the Spinach Tart would be if it were warmed up, and the second time I took him there was a guy behind the counter who I hadn't seen before (possibly one of the two owners?) and he offered for it to be warmed which I didn't know was an option because the four prior visits i wasn't asked. So overall i'm going to try the spot a few more times through the summer and see if i can get a few more positive service interactions, or if the beverage quality might improve a bit. Honestly I think i'd just one or the other were to get a bit better in my opinion this place could be a weekly stop for me. I'm hoping that my previous visits were outliers! read more

The pastry and coffee was okay but the banana pudding was incredibly soupy and bananas were suuuuper old and slimy. I asked for another one but the owner claimed it was still fresh and didn't want to let me try a different one. It was inedible so I threw a full pint away. Might be the worst banana pudding I've ever had but the lack of customer service left a bad taste in my mouth. We won't be back. read more
