XOXO Cake Pops

I don't know why I took so long to try Noon since it's walking distance from me!…read more I know we have a lot of options when it comes to treats in the South Bay Area but Korean bingsoo is in a class of its own. For me, regular shaved ice usually lacks enough syrup or the ice is too hard. I'm such a wuss, I know, but I hate feeling like I overpaid for a cup of ice. It has been brutally hot and today seemed like a great day to have some shaved ice. The cafe is located in a Korean plaza on Western and 154th. Smoking Tiger coffee is also in the same plaza. The cafe is on the smaller side but there's lots of seating and you can take your orders to go if you want. It's cashless and you take your tray and trash to the counter once you're done. The menu has everything from fruity flavors to Asian flavors like hojicha and injeolmi to Cinnamon Toast crunch. You can get an individual size or larger size to share. The interior is minimalist with vintage-looking posters of the business. They have WiFi and complimentary water. We ordered matcha and mango flavored bingsoo. Both had a tall pile of ice with ample toppings and more syrup layered inside the ice which I think is an important very often overlooked step. I can't wait to return to try out more flavors!

Would have given another star if service wasn't so slow…read moreTheir rate limiting step is their ability to shave the ice - which makes it tough for large groups waiting for their orders because your bowl starts to deflate when it melts Price for a single is a bit high. Would recommend sharing and ordering a large which could easily feed 2-4 people for only double the price of a small single serving Have to admit that this is a less decadent dessert than ice cream The ice is so soft and light. Fruit bowls are not just topped as a garnish but filled in the center with plenty of fruit too for a surprise treat Flavors are fresh Each bowl has a unique combo Black sesame bowl was topped with red bean and a crispy rice cake Sit powder bowl had mochi pieces throughout There are seat S both inside and outside Maybe they should have better A/C to keep the bowls from melting so fast

The place has this classic ice cream shop feel with pastel aesthetics mixed into a modern clean vibe which mixes practicality with style. I LOVE the glass panel decoration and the front decor which are simple details yet convenient decoration. The options have an interesting range in diversity, from ice cream and drinks. Their combinations are so unique, blending trendy flavors like matcha, honey, and many more delicious flavors. My favorite flavor I have tried so far, was the Dalgona Affogato--which I picked because I was thinking of the squid games. The dessert was so smooth but the honey was slightly overbearing. If that is not to your preference, they have other options that can certainly fit to your taste buds. The ice cream is perfectly sweet and an excellent treat in this summer weather. The honey crisps placed on top of the ice were so little, which I wished they had a bit more since it tasted so good with the smooth ice cream. Another thing I hoped was for the affogato to be a bit bigger portion. But then again, I am unsure about the sizings of affogato since this is my first time trying it. Thank you Honeymee Gardena for the experiance, hoping to try more in the future. (Update: Making this edit because I accidentally spelled the cafe name wrong in my previous review which I apologize for. The typo was made because when I was writing the review, I was also very busy so I wrote everything in a hurry and wasn't able to make changes. And yes, this update took so long to be made because when I write reviews, especially in this case, I often do different reviews all at once.)

The making of the Strawberry Shawty turned out to be a mini show. The employee poured some cream and crushed graham crackers onto a super cold surface and molded the mixture into thin, curled sheets.

There was a sign that said credit cards are only accepted for transactions greater than $20. My order was much less than that, but they took my credit card payment without a fuss.

It was his first time going to Beard Papa because there is a Persona collab currently going on. Purchased a 4 pack of the collab cream puffs from an older male employee working there. There were communication issues because the worker couldn't understand the simple order. Eventually my SO got his order, paid and left. He brought them home to eat, took one bite of the cream puff (Joker themed strawberry cheesecake-filled cream puff) only to find the filling was just plain vanilla. Understandably upset because this wasn't what he paid for, he went back to get replacements because now we can't trust that the others have the correct filling either. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any other employees/management present so my SO had to confront this same male employee. No apologies or anything for the mistake. Instead he kept repeatedly doubling down about how he wasn't told that my SO wanted something different. The onus should NOT be on the customer to just KNOW that the fillings can be changed. Especially if it's their first time visiting. Nor does it make sense that the DEFAULT filling for the collab pastries should be anything other than advertised. My SO had to raise his voice and demand replacements, and this employee threw a tantrum by rolling his eyes and tossing the old ones with an attitude. You don't belong in customer service if you can't handle simple orders and taking accountability. He seriously needs to be retrained/disciplined/fired. SOMETHING. This man was awful and rude and this is absolutely unacceptable behavior.

HELLO PEASANTS! I write to you from Heaven, for I have…read moretasted the goodness of God here at Wagyu Butcher, and I have transcended to a higher place. It starts with one of the chefs enthusiastically showing me and my wife some of the A5 Wagyu that he'd be using from Japan and I'm like, "sir. I know wagyu." I took my wife to The Cut on our first Valentines together (not compensating) and they had good Wagyu. I was wrong, dear readers. Dead wrong. This place knows Wagyu. Whichever tier you get, make sure it either comes with, or add on the A5 Wagyu Filet. They'll tell you to cook it 45 seconds each side (so 6 times), but here's a trick. do 45 seconds on four sides (the top, bottom, and the long sides), and then a bit of salt if you need it and some lemon slice. ADD THE LEMON JUICE!! BUT NOT TOO MUCH. That will take you out. You're welcome peasants. Think of me when you try it. Or don't. I might be pooping and I don't like the idea of people thinking of me while I poo. The server was awesome too. I didn't catch her name because I was too busy being a fatass.

I chose the Wagyu Omakase, and it was definitely a big and filling meal. You cook each piece of wagyu one by one at the counter, so this is a great place if you want to slow down, enjoy the process, and really take your time with dinner. The meat was very good, although some pieces were more heavily marinated than I personally prefer, but overall it wasn't too much. The service was good, the atmosphere was nice, and the whole experience felt very Japanese and authentic. The surrounding area also has quite a few authentic Japanese restaurants, so it's a great neighborhood for Japanese food lovers. Definitely worth checking out if you love wagyu and want something a little different from the usual sushi omakase!

This place has the best reviews around for churros so we gave it a try. Sunday afternoon and it was empty. Only one lady in front of us. Only one person tending both the cashier and kitchen. Took about 30min to get our churros and funnel cake. I can't imagine when it's more packed, hopefully there's more people working. The gunner cake was a 9/10, I usually don't finish them because they are too oily. This one was perfect, but they put on too much strawberry sauce, the funnel cake was too wet with it. I'll ask for less next time. The churros were 10/10, much better than the ones we get elsewhere I also got a café de olla and that one was very yummy but a little too sugary for my liking. Will definitely be back to try more items from here!!

The churro cart is currently set-up outside the shop, which is under construction.

My daughter is a freshman at LMU. We live 10,000 miles away and miss her as much as she misses us. I wanted to do something special for her birthday. I found XOXO Cake Pops on-line oe night when I was searching Yelp for ideas. I e-mailed them and within minutes I was in an email conversation with Jenny, from XOXO. She was so helpful, from choosing the flavors, the packaging and the card, to helping with a PayPal glitch, to arranging delivery during the narrow window between my daughter's classes. The President of the company (Rudy) sent me photos of the delivery and the card, so I could really feel like I was part of the experience. The best part was that the pops were delicious (19 of them, for her 19th birthday. They were eaten in a day) and their prices were the lowest I found. Highly recommend this very wonderful business. We will be using them again. -Tricia / Bangkok, Thailand read more

I write very few reviews, but XOXO cake pops really deserved this review! I was referred to XOXO by a co-worker who hosts the cutest, blog-worthy parties.
