Lots of variety of traditional Jewish delights, Babka, Hamamtashen, Rugelach, Challah, Russian Tea Cake (a must have) plus all the cookies and danish you can imagine. It's all very good and will kill any dieting plans you had. They have added a selection of Ube baked goods, but not sure why or how that fits with the old school Jewish bakery theme, but it's there. I have no particular interest in that. As far as service, its alway fairly busy, but line moves fairly fast. The staff has morfed to mostly very young counter people that have zero interpersonal skills and are not friendly. The only warmth you will get here is freshly baked Challah. Still worth a visit.

I now know definitively where to find it. They've also added the most incredible soft serve ice cream to their offerings. I also spotted that they now serve prosciutto which I was unaware of in the past and they have what appeared to be some delicious looking Caesar salads premade for about $15. I'm currently completely addicted to this amazing peanut nougat chocolate that they have. It's $5.50 a pop so as my original review states this place is Not exactly the $.99 cent only store but it's amazing selection of goods shows the purveyors attention to selection. They're keen on what they bring into the store and it shows. I've had a few bottles of wine from here. They were all yummy. I've yet to try any of their cheese, but it looks fantastic. As I go, I spend more and more time cruising what they have- they always have fine looking produce and I know occasionally they carry chanterelles. I do hope to scoop up some of those on a future visit (in season only of course). It does seem they really honor the seasonal pallet of things and from what I can tell most of their produce is local. They've also added a really lovely outdoor patio. All in all I'm very grateful this place in the canyon. They've saved me on a number of occasions when no dinner recipes came quickly to mind or when a soup hankering struck!

I drove to this shop today, specifically to order a cake for a bridal shower. The owner was not…read morethere. There was a cake in the display case very similar to what I was looking for. I asked the price and was told $50. The man working could not give me any information on pricing for the cake I needed. I was trying to order a cake the same size, same shape and same ingredients as the one available to purchase. I didn't want the ribbon and flowers that were on it. I only wanted a light dusting of edible pearls (available on Amazon for under $8/bottle). I asked if he could call the owner, which he did. I explained what I was looking for and the owner told me the price - which was 80% more than the equivalent cake in their display case. If you want to get overcharged, go right ahead. I'm taking my business elsewhere!

However, after I ordered it online to pick it up a couple of hours later at this lovely store, Veronica from this store called me to let me know that just while my transaction was going through, a customer in their store had purchased a slice from the last remaining cheesecake, which incidentally I had managed to order online. So, I decided to go with her recommendation of another cake instead. But, she was so sweet, she gave me a slice of cheesecake gratis, since she remembered my friend, the birthday boy, loves cheesecakes. Also, I was able to buy a single candle from this store as well. I'm all set for the surprise!

Those of you who have stopped, I understand, but you should know that not so long in the future wheateaters will be sectioned of in an area with garbage cans lit with fire with some people smoking cigarettes while other furtively eat finger sandwiches. But I digress. I was shown by the very nice counter person the GF offerings and when I asked her which she thought was best, I was directed to a cookie (Gluten-Free Chocolate Walnut Cookie) of all things which when coupled with a very nice latte proved that the Stones were correct in their assessment of this Sweet Lady.

The two lane road one way, becomes one lane, with many windy turns. As you drive on, to a progressive higher altitude, the fresh air, the greenery, the view below, engulfs your senses. What a beautiful ride, till you arrive at TLC. I was there on a weekday (by design), to avoid the crowds and because parking is very limited, if you wish to be close to the establishment. Walking in, there is a small space of an ordering counter (with a display of some foods), some on the menu, some not. A few merch racks and some indoor tables. You can also sit outside, under umbrellas, for a more airy feel. Many come here for the tranquility, several of them with their laptops. While I was aware before arriving what the limited menu entailed, I was attracted, amongst other selections, by the optics of the Tomato Frittata and Cucumber Salad, in the food case. And that is what I ordered. Since the Frittata comes with a house salad, it was a reasonable $2 extra to substitute for the cucumber salad. The Tomato Frittata was warmed up and served to my outside table. It was fluffy, fresh, having distinct texture and tongue slide, to highlight the tastes of egg, cheese and tomato. Nice ingredient arrangement all around. Same for the cucumber salad. What I liked here was no overdose of citrus (as you so often taste in other places). A harmonious balance of simple nature ingredients, that take care of the flavor, and take you to a place to remember. The cucumber was well diced, colorful, bold, crunchy and nourishing, with every bite. Overall, a satisfying experience, and an impressive weekday brunch visit for me, in the stunning and magnetic hilltops of Topanga.

That said, there are still a few areas for improvement. The space is a bit limited, and there aren't many outdoor seating options, which would be nice given the location. The interior could also use some updates, as parts of it feel a bit worn. Overall, this location left a much better impression. It's a nice spot for coffee and a quick bite, and I'm glad I gave the brand another chance.
