I have been wanting to try this place for awhile but I'm not in this side of town too often. Well…read moretoday was the day! Only problem was I wished I ordered more. I got the spinach cheese Borekas and it was honestly delicious. I liked it by itself best but enjoyed with the chili too I also got a mint iced tea barely sweetened and it was great! Really lovely service, ordered ahead for pick up. The only thing that was stressful was the parking lot, it was lunch time crowded so a little congested and stressful but that had nothing to do with my views here. Go!! It's worth it Honestly, sitting here wishing I had more.

Love, love, love, Borekas Sephardic Pastries‼ Today I…read moreordered one with Zaatar and Cheese and the other one was potato and brown butter They are equally as tasty The crust is very flaky and the feeling is delicious They have two locations one in Sherman Oaks and one in Van Nuys Heidi suggest you give it a try

Hank's Bagel absolutely delivered this morning. We stopped in when it was not busy, and our order…read morecame out in about two minutes. My youngest said it felt like bagel magic. I grabbed an onion bialy with cream cheese, and I am still thinking about it hours later. The flavor was unreal. It tasted like the best part of French onion soup, just without the soup. Rich, savory, and perfect with the cream cheese. Blissful is the only word that fits. My youngest went with an everything bagel, plain, and she lit up after the first bite. Soft, squishy, exactly how she likes it. She looked at me and said, "Dad, how come you haven't brought me here before?" I told her that sometimes, for great things, you have to wait in life. We also grabbed the nectar of the gods (Diet Coke) and an apple juice. Everything was packaged neatly, easy to grab and go, and the whole experience felt effortless and the people there are wicked nice! Hank's is officially in our rotation now.

The bagels from this place are amazing. The toppings are always fresh... If they make it onto your…read morebagel. Out of the five times I have picked up bagels here (ordered online and in person), only two have been correct. Three times I have brought home my orders open them up to find a missing topping. Today it was cream cheese. Last time it was avocado (a pricey loss). The people putting together the bagels need to be more conscientious about what they're doing and double-checking their accuracy. Also, the manager should be checking the order before it goes out. This is happening far too frequently for a To-Go food shop.

Really good ice cream with unique flavors and a great atmosphere. Everything tasted fresh and…read moredelicious. Definitely coming back!

I tried this place on a whim since another dessert spot in the plaza was closed. It's small and out…read moreof date. There were many options of Italian ice, crème ice, ice cream. They apparently make everything in house. I don't have the biggest sweet tooth so I went for crème ice which was dairy free and much lighter than ice cream. It was $7 for a small scoop which was on the more expensive side. In all honesty, this place is okay. Nothing truly stood out to me about it. I was expecting a lot more given it has 4.8 stars and 500+ reviews. It lacked in the overall experience from walking into the door to the flavor itself. I don't think I'd go back, I'd rather just go somewhere else.

My husband and I had a fantastic breakfast at Natas Pastries the other day…read more We found this restaurant online after looking for a bakery that sells pastéis de nada. My husband fell in love with them in Portugal and he's been craving them ever since we got home. I'm happy to say that the pastéis de nada at Natas Pastries are just as delicious as the ones we had in Portugal. Their other breakfast food was delicious as well. I had the All American Breakfast, and the potatoes were incredible! My husband had the Breakfast Burrito with linguiça, and he loved it! We sat outside on the patio, which is a lovely place to enjoy a meal, and all of the staff was so friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu, as well as more pastéis de nada!

We had had dinner at a restaurant about a block away. I'm always looking to try different bakeries…read moreand saw that Natas was close by and still open. It's usually hard to find a bakery that is still open after 6 pm. I decided to try a variety of pastries and ordered an apple strudel, chocolate covered peanut butter bar and a large chocolate chip cookie. They had a very wide selection to choose from. My daughter ordered a lemon bar, slice of lemon cake and a small chocolate chip cookie. My first impression of the desserts that I chose was that they were sweet. I could feel the graininess of the sugar in the chocolate covered peanut butter bar. The strudel was tasty but light on the apple filling. Between the chocolate chips and sugar the cookie was sweeter than what I usually like but still a good cookie. I tried my daughter's lemon bar and I liked it. The things I tried I'm thinking 3 stars, my daughter liked the things she bought so averaging it out maybe a solid 3.5 stars rounded up to a generous 4 stars. Service was okay. Natas has a wide variety of pastries. I think the other items on the menu are more well received. I'll need to go back next time I am in town to try out some of other menu items.
