    Coconut Cheesecake
    Barb N.

    Came in for lunch with my 90 year old mom. Sweet waitress and love the many choices on the menu. I got a a Strawberry Lemonade with sugar on the rim, mom got a fancy non alcoholic fruit beverage, we then ate their fresh brown and white bread while it is still hot with fresh butter. YUMMY!! We then ordered our meals. I got an Asian beef steak pieces with fresh veggies and noodles. Mom got taquitos that looked like the chef had gone to an art class! So pretty their plates of food are. We topped it off with a large piece of coconut cheesecake! Sinfully good!!! We come here often but I try new things and lord was it delicious!!! The place is huge and airy with large ceilings and a big bar. Great bathrooms so clean and airy. Lots of booths, tables and places to sit.

    My family and I stopped here for dinner, and we were completely satisfied with our dining experience from start to finish. Upon entering, we were greeted by a female employee within fifteen seconds. We were also advised that the wait would be a minute or two. The wait was actually twenty seconds. Truly impressed with the service so far. Upon being seated in a very comfortable booth, our waiter approached our table within fifteen seconds and welcomed us to the restaurant. Our waiter also took our beverage orders at this time. Two Coke Zeros and one glass of water for me (trying to drink 120 oz of water per day :) Our beverages were brought to our table in under 1 minute. AMAZING service!! We placed our order at this time. A vegan Cobb salad for me, orange chicken for my daughter, and a salmon and veggie lunch for my wife. We also ordered Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. We received our appetizer within 4 minutes and our complete dinner order within 10 minutes thereafter. DELICIOUS fresh bread was also delivered to our table. Our dinner and appetizer were AMAZING!! Our food was well prepared, fresh, and delicious Service was top-notch, with our waiter very attentive, friendly, and polite. THANK YOU!! The restaurant is huge and shiny, and everything was very clean and well-maintained. This was a positive and fun dining experience.

    Thai Lettuce Wraps
    Mike P.

    It can be overwhelming picking out a dish from the extensive menu. But we settled on Evelyn's pasta and the Thai lettuce wrap. I was surprised that we had to construct the wraps ourselves which was a nice way of letting us decide how to stuff them. Evelyn's pasta is very good and I highly recommend it. Of course the cheesecake is what everybody comes for but wow the calories are through the roof. Good thing they list the calories.

    Excellent service from Eddie! Thank you for the hospitality. Today's visit was not as busy. Probably the time was around 5pm. But, when we left the place, we realized the line is long already. Love the food and portions. Parking can be challenging, but doable. Love the ambiance. It's a must try!

    Tamales I've never seen before
    Pascale P.

    December was obviously not a good month for me to eat out. I went to cheesecake factory in Glendale with a friend and the whole meal was disappointing. My friend ordered the Santa Fe salad and the chicken was missing. When it was pointed out they just threw unseasoned chicken on top of the salad. She picked and did not finish her food. The tamales were mushy and something I never tasted before. My tasteless unspicy Louisiana shrimp/chicken was drowning in overcooked pasta which reminded me of the pasta from the Campbell's can when I was a child. I did ask the waitress for spicy seasoning but changed my mind as I did not want to be the chef at my table. I honestly had two forkfulls and could not go forward. It was just horrible. I asked for another order of bread and drank my club soda. The pina colada went back also since I did not have food. . My waitress mentioned they were short-handed on the floor and the kitchen. Management did not think it would be so busy that evening - the Thursday before Christmas. Hence the horrible meal. I was so disappointed I did not even have cheesecake. The ambience outside was beautiful though

    Lunch Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken and shrimp

    Great experience over the weekend . The wait was fast on a Sunday . The service was top notch ! The food was tasty . Lunch portion is much better for a smaller appetite . We all had a lovely time. Not pictured was the lemon drop and Mai tai . Also very good

    Miso Salmon
    Jenny D.

    Exceptional service at the bar. Came in during Mother's Day weekend, but on Saturday not Sunday. I know better than to come on Mother's Day. Wait time was 60 minutes but there were two spots available at the bar, perfect for me and moms. Sat immediately.Food is always exceptional at the Cheesecake Factory, definition scratch kitchen. My first visit of the Cheesecake Factory was at 15 years old in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. It was my first visit and after over 20 years later, I'm still coming in. Miso salmon is just as delightful as the first time I had it, and the Louisiana chicken was decent. The breaded chicken was a little over fried, but still tasty with the dish. The ambience was clean, busy, and comfortable. Whether you're seating at a private booth or in the bar, there's not a bad seat in the house. Ordered the banana cream cheesecake and original cheesecake + added glazed strawberries to go. The fresh strawberry cheesecake is not the same as the original cheesecake + glazed strawberries on top (or on the side). IYKYK. Parking was easy inside the Americana, and two hour validation. Highly recommend!

    One bar of AT&T signal and no internet when connected to Cheesecake Factory WiFi.
    Ko T.

    The worst hostess (the girl with shoulder length black hair) I have ever experienced from Cheesecake Factory. Checked in on Mother's Day evening. My wife, our 5 year old daughter and I were very hungry. Upon checking in, we were told it would be 30-45 minutes wait. We understood due to Mother's Day. So the hostess with black shoulder length hair asked for my name and phone number. She told us we would be notified by text message. After waiting for a while, I decided to go back and ask how many people are ahead of us because I am only getting one bar of AT&T signal, and I don't see any text that says we have been checked in and on wait list. I went back to that hostess again to ask and instead of her answering my question, she told me I have only been checked in for 13 minutes and it would be 30 minutes wait. I told her again that I just wanted to know how many people are ahead of us because I don't have good signal on my phone (see my photo). She cuts me off and said you'll get a text message. Their WiFi had no internet connection at the time. Again see my photo as proof. I decided to stay close to where call your name and escort you to your table just to make sure I didn't miss my name. More than 60 mins since I checked in, I was still standing there. I asked another employee to check for my name. She did, but only told me I would get a text message. Another 15 minutes went by and now I am seeing a lady that was checking about 30 minuets ago being called and escorted to a table. A few minutes later, my wife saw another party being seated that came after we checked in. At that point I flagged down a manger told her we have been waiting for over an hour. She went to check our name ( I don't think she found us) and quickly seated us. Three problems 1: Rude hostess 2: They don't make use of overhead intercom to call the party. Just shouting for the party name isn't good technique. People can easily miss their name. 3: Unless you are certain everyone's phone signals are strong, relying on text messaging is bad idea. As far as the food, my meatloaf was salty. I love salty food, but this meatloaf was even salty for me. I was worried because I have high blood pressure condition, and I was scared my pressure would go up. I would be staying away from this location in the future.

    Filet Mignon* **
    Monica G.

    Walked in and requested a table for two but the hostess said the wait was over 20 minutes but the bar seating area was open even though the restaurant looked empty and the only busy part of the restaurant was the bar area. We sat there and waited for a bit but our waiter was fairly nice. Wasn't able to catch his name but he did a decent job. The filet mignon did not look appetizing but it was surprisingly decent. Overall this dining experience was okay not the best but you could tell the waiter did the best he could especially approaching closing time and for some reason bar seating was the only thing available.

    Roasted Brussel sprouts
    Robert K.

    Was visiting Los Angeles and decided to visit The Cheesecake Factory. Wanted to compare with the one in the SF Bay area. My first impression was how busy and clean this restaurant was compared to the one in SF. The wait time wasn't too bad either. The menu was the same but the service was much better here. Our waiter was attentive and our food came quickly. We started with the crispy brussel sprouts for appetizer. Oh, what a treat! It was baked or fried to perfection. One of us ordered the Sheppards Pie. It was very good, the meat was full of flavor and the mash potatoe and cheese was perfect. Highly recommend. We also ordered the chicken avocado club and the Renée Special. Both dishes was very good and the chicken was very tender and full of flavor. The portions were huge. Two people can share a plate. Next time you're in LA, you might just want to visit this Cheesecake Factory. I would come back for sure.

    Came in on a Weds afternoon Michael my seater was super sweet and kind. He was def genuine and sweet. I adored Adrianna was a great help in helping choose a dish as I can be indecisive lol I love the new low calorie menu as you don't compromise taste and has a good portion control all while keeping one filled. Thanks for a delightful experience! It was a busy afternoon and they were as kind as can be and swift! Def give them a raise!^_^

    I hadn't been to this location yet & was looking forward to giving it a try. I stopped by around 4pm on a weekday & while there was a wait to be seated, it was only about 10 minutes...very reasonable considering the place was kinda busy (not packed but lively). I ordered the chicken & biscuits appetizer, which took over 20 minutes to arrive. (Thank goodness for the bread basket as that delicious, signature brown bread & butter held me over.) The presentation wasn't impressive: Two small biscuits each with a little chicken tender inside. I can only HOPE that this dish wasn't actually 1240 calories as listed on the menu, because I don't even see how that could be possible but I digress. The chicken was bland however once I drizzled the hot honey sauce over it (the menu stated it was hot honey butter which clearly wasn't the case as it was a thin, dark sauce served in a gravy boat), the taste improved. The biscuits themselves were on the sweeter side & may have been sitting on the counter/under a heat lamp for some time before making their way to me as the top halves were overly crunchy. For dessert, I got the key lime cheesecake & it was the perfect marriage of sweetness & tartness. The best part of my dining experience, however, was my server. Jordan was gracious & exceptionally professional, routinely checking on me to see how everything was & whether I needed anything else.

    Like other locations this Cheesecake Factory can get easily packed with long wait times. But it's still possible to do walk-ins and get a table at reasonable time (especially for smaller party size). Parking can be at the Americana and Cheesecake Factory does a two hour validation. It's a bit chaotic at the front getting everyone groups seated and dodging folks coming in and out. But once seated it a nice environment. Amazingly not too loud and you can chat with your party members. The service was quick and food arrived at a good pace. Our server was nice and friendly! I got the bacon-bacon burger. It was really good when hot, fresh, and juicy. But once it got cooled I didn't want to continue. It was also got really messy early on from too much sauce. The fries were nice and crisp. The bread before the meal was warm and had a good crunchy exterior.

    The Hemsworth brothers. Mark and Jay Duplass. The Skaarsgard Brothers. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen…read more Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Ben and Casy Affleck. Tia and Tamera Mowry. The Bronte Sisters. The Jacksons... You win free ice cream on me if you recognize the pattern. Yes, that's right: these are all siblings who have seamlessly worked together in their respective fields. I raise the list to include Mia and Mark Pedersen - the brother and sister team behind the ice creamery Moo Moo Mia with locations in both Montrose and Monrovia. You won't find Mia and Mark bickering or partaking in sibling rivalry; but you WILL find them creating quality, home made ice cream for Angelinos. Mark and Mia made their way from Denmark to Los Angeles in 2009 initially working in a Danish franchise despite both having a background in ice cream-making. When Covid hit in 2020 with its path of destruction to so many businesses; Mark and Mia decided they should cut their losses and create their own company that they can rely on their decision-making and thus Moo Moo Mia was born. Moo Moo Mia strives to produce Grade-A ice cream using crème de la crème ingredients such as milk from Scott Brother Dairy cows (another sibling company where cows roam free on 900 acres and are hormone free producing sensational milk) and offer unique flavor combinations. After a recent poor gelato experience at another LA business; my boyfriend and I decided to reward ourselves with ice cream from Moo Moo Mia on Honolulu in Montrose (this was our second time at this location). Nestled in the charming central Montrose corridor; Moo Moo Mia welcomes with a pastel color wheel façade/signage and a small square footage ice cream shop. When I say 'small'; I genuinely mean small as Moo Moo Mia is tiny with a display case/order counter and a claustrophobic standing room space with a few loose tables outside. This is definitely an "order and get out" establishment. Due to this congestion, Moo Moo Mia felt a bit hectic on both of our visits which always makes one feel guilty to ask for samples in order to not hold up the line. The flavor options at Moo Moo Mia aren't super extensive (there isn't that much to choose from) BUT there do have those unique combinations Mia and Mark boast of with pride. I have sampled a few flavors at Moo Moo Mia such as Honey Lavender (Sweet cream ice cream layered with delicate ribbons of lavender and finished with a touch of raw organic honey - so good with perfect lavender notes!), March flavor of ice cream with Luck Charms marshmallows and Sweet Taro. On our second visit, my boyfriend kept it simple with a single cone ($5.50) of Madagascar Vanilla Bean (Made with imported ground Madagascar vanilla beans) and a kid's cup ($4.25) of March's monthly flavor Coconut Ube for me. Mark and Mia aren't exaggerating about Moo Moo Mia's ice cream as it truly is quite good: creamy, thick and not overly sweet; the texture is perfection. The Honey Lavender holds my heart but the Coconut Ube was also delicious although it tasted of 95% ube with a small 5% after taste of coconut water. Good thing I like Ube! My boyfriend's vanilla was, in his words, "The best vanilla!" and I agree that Moo Moo Mia truly elevates a basic flavor making it extra special. The consensus is that the ice cream is wonderful, no doubt. The customer service at Moo Moo Mia leaves a lot to be desired, however. During both visits the associates were very dry, somewhat curt - although not rude, per se - and are literally only there to get the job done and that's it. Even though this isn't too terrible; it prevents Moo Moo Mia from being a perfect experience. Moo Moo Mia is a delicious and quality option for an ice cream treat that you can truly taste but the lack of numerous flavor options, the teen-tiny shop and the customer service are flaws that keep it from being exceptional. Despite this, Moo Moo Mia is recommended for all ice cream lovers - whether you have a sibling or not!

    This small ice cream shop is located in downtown Monrovia…read more It's open daily - Mon-Thurs -12-10pm - Fri & Sat - 11am-11pm - Sun - 11am-10pm Parking was ok since there was free nearby parking spaces and parking lot not too far Service was friendly and welcoming Inside was quite small with limited seating Pricing was reasonable and there was a good variety of scoops, sundaes, shakes, pints, and baked goods! Loved the variety of flavors, such as: taro, banana nut bread, ferrero rocher! SCOOPS - Double: $7 - Single: $5.50 - Kids: $4.25 - Triple: $8.50 - Trio Sampler: $7.50 (includes 1 full size & 2 half scoops) Got the Trio Sampler - Got the Double Coffee Chip, Ferrero Rocher, and banana nut bread. The Ferrero Rocher was so delicious! It was so creamy with bits of the chocolate! Definitely a must try! The Double Coffee Chip was so yummy! Not too sweet and very strong coffee flavor without being too bitter! Definitely recommend! The banana nut bread was pretty good and had bits of nuts and banana bread! Overall, this was 9/10 Definitely enjoyed the ice cream and would recommend and return!

I checked Yelp for nearby bakeries and La Jaconde popped up with really great reviews so I drove right across the street and picked up some baked goods. I picked up this big pastry that was stuffed with cream cheese and sour cherries (TRUST ME you want this), a box of mixed cookies and bite sized goodies, and a box of stuffed dates (don't knock it until you try it). EVERYTHING was fresh. Everything was tasty. And it got the stamp of approval from the baker friend. The cream cheese and sour cherry stuffed bakery literally disappeared in 10 minutes, and that thing was not small by any means. I returned to this same place the following week to pick up some savory baked goods for some friends, and the owner was at the shop and was so kind and so proud of his products (as he should be). Needless to say this is going to be my bakery of choice. I'd drive past 5 shops to get to this one any day.

    So creamy and soft, the strawberry cake was so yummy everyone enjoyed it at my friend's…read morehousewarming party!

    I ended up finding out about it because of a recent visit so I went back for more flavors…read more I ordered a pint of their delicious Banana ice cream! I think I'm hooked by the way! And I also ordered a Coffee Milkshake. I wished I had asked for additional flavors because I was told you could mix at least 2. Then again, it may depend on the counter person. I was so enthused by the availability of parking spots within the shopping center that I decided to walk around the area! Oh, they have a Target there, too! I'll definitely bring my friends back in the next couple of weekends so we can hang out and enjoy the environment around us.

    I recently found out Bruster's Real Ice Cream has made its way to La Canada Flintridge Town Center…read morenear Descanso Gardens. Cool! I love the garden and I love ice cream. Perfect location! Got here in the evening. Parking appears limited where I was parked, but I know there are more parking at the town center. Anyway, I got lucky with a close parking spot. No inside seating. Just a couple tables and chairs outside. They weren't super busy at the time. I was the only person in line. This is my 2nd time trying Bruster's. My first time was at their Rancho Cucamonga location. Nick, the staff member who helped me, was very nice and helpful. I asked for recommendations on their best flavors. He graciously offered them. Thank you Nick! I got to sample a handful of flavors... Boston Cream Pie, Sea Salt Caramel, Death By Chocolate, Caramel Macchiato, and Cinnamon. Thanks for the samples! All the flavors were very good except for the Cinnamon which I thought was very light in taste. Since I was driving, I chose an ice cream shake instead of a cup or cone. Caramel Macchiato was my pick! It had a really nice caramel flavor with coffee bean bits. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't pile up the ice cream to the top of the lid. It stopped at the top of the cup. I felt I was shorted some ice cream unfortunately. Hence, 4 stars! Nevertheless, Nick was amazing. His service was fantastic. Wonderful conversation and experience. Ice cream shake was yummy. It was finished before I arrived home. YES, I will come back to try their other unique flavors! Thank you Bruster's!

    Drove by a few times before we decided to check it out. Glad we did. Tiny little bakery, with lots…read moreof Armenian-style pastries. Easy to find something for every kind of sweet tooth: chocolate cakes, cream puffs, tiramisu, cookies, sweet breads, etc. Prices are nicely priced. We got a variety and were happy with everything. I liked seeing that trays of items were completely sold out. Must be good! Service is not the friendliest. It would be better if they got rid of all that junk plastic candy mess on the top of the displays. It makes the small space feel smaller, it pulls away from all the lovely pastries, and the women behind the counter can't even see over it when they ask you what you want.

    We were headed back to the West Valley to take our Sweet Granddaughter home after spending the…read moreafternoon / early evening at Descanso Gardens. Her mother texted asking if we could bring pastries. It was after 6 p.m., so I turned to trusty Yelp to see what might still be open between Montrose and our destination. This bakery came up, so we stopped in to give it a try. One gentleman was minding both the bakery and the liquor store next door. It wasn't that busy at either place, but he did have to run between the two. He let us know that he'd be right with us, so we had time to look around. The baked goods cases were about half full at 7:00 at night. The man helping us didn't really know anything about the fillings of some of the items that weren't self-explanatory. He got our selections packed up nicely, but it would have been helpful to be able to get more info about some of the cakes/pastries. SG (age 5) boldly chose a cream puff for herself. I wasn't sure if she would like it, but once we got to her house she happily scarfed down half of it, saving the other half for the next day. Dear Hubby and I picked several layers cake pieces, and I added two chocolate-filled cookies. He went for a cannoli, of which they had several options of fillings. I think our daughter and son-in-law made out the best, as we weren't sure what they would like so we got them some Black & White cake, honey cake, espresso cake, and some of the chocolate-filled cookies. It was a dessert-tasting feast to wind up the weekend when we arrived at their place.
