“Excellent food & beverage choices. Service was superior as well. We were a party of 5 and we ordered the Galbi 2X, couple of soups, forgot the names but they were very good. We had another food item which was good as well. Bottoms line it's very good.“
“Luceros Café is known for their delicious churros and 3 leches cakes. They are very consistent with their pastries. They recently expanded their bakery and even like this, they're always busy! I recommend their original 3 leches cake. It is by far the best 3 leches cake I've ever had! They also have a yummy 3 leches de nuez, which is a 3 milk cake with nuts. Although they usually have cakes you can buy, I would recommend you order your cake prior.Customer service Can use some work, although it's not bad, they always seem so busy they forget to smile! All in all 4/5. Definitely a must try!“
“The owners are very friendly and atmosphere is relaxed. I ordered the Mamey Shake and Chicken (Spinach Tortilla) wrap?✨✨My man ordered the Chicken Ciabatta Chipotle Sandwich and for a drink, it had Mango, Orange, and Carrot?✨✨Satisfying Portions.Perfect for a day out and loads of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner✨10/10 recommend to everyone that enjoys fresh, delicious meals and drinks reasonably priced.Parking: Parking is in back of restaurant✨“
“I tried this restaurant for the first time and ordered the Bulgogi Rice Bowl and it was amazing. The price is well worth it because the food comes in big portions. The lady there was very sweet and we got our food pretty quickly. The place was empty but everything was clean. I absolutely recommend eating there!Parking: There are lots of shops nearby so parking right outside the restaurant might be a little difficult.“
“I enjoy the flavors and toppings. More healthier selections to choose from. The staff and owners (Pablo and his wife) are awesome, informative and accommodating!! And as long as they are open for business, I will only be getting my frozen yogurt from them.“
“Me and my partner come here like 2x a day . We enjoy it so much . I love the staff and I can’t forget about the reward points program lol . I use to go to juice crafts until I started coming here . No shade to juice crafters ,but I get more bang for my buck here .“
“Really good acai bowls, lots of bases and toppings to choose from. The mango base is my personal favorite and with half acai. Good for being a place with pre made bases as usually i like to go to places where they freshly blend the bases. Very tasty and load up the toppings.“
“Fast and friendly service. Ordered a Combo with the Turkey Club and a Green Smoothie. Everything was made fresh. The sandwich had the perfect amount of ingredients, and they didn't overdo the garlic aioli.This is my second time here, and both times have been very good.This is a mom & pop shop, but the food is good. They only offer take-out, but it's good for a grab and go meal. I would highly recommend.Parking: Strip mall parkingWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp got wheelchair access“
“As a Taiwanese person who grew up in boba land, I can tell you that the boba milk tea is pretty good. It's more towards milky end instead of rich tea flavor ones. Their original recipe is not too sweet so there's no point to adjust the sweetness. Or just ask the owner to make his favorite ratio. You should totally give it a try. (I cannot endorse other items as I just tried one product)“
“Went here with a business associate for a super late lunch and was surprised at the options. We were both starving but had a long drive back home, so wanted something filling but still light enough to not cause food coma.The customizable options made it easy to order. Both of us split a bowl and mushrooms tacos on gluten free tortillas. They splits -plated our food so that was really nice that we did not have to.The Tacos had amazing flavors, we asked to add pickled onions to additional tang. It was great.The bowl with tofu and brown rice, while good could use a little bit more flavoring. We got the dressing on the side that added some depth, but I feel something else can be added to the bowl to up the umami flavors.Overall a good choice. Pricing was a bit on th higher side , unfortunately, in-line with most places these days.Vegetarian options: Very customizable options.“
“100% Plant Based! It is AMAZING to have a vegan place like this in the area. Quality food, SUPER Fresh! The owner of the place is super nice and the vibes inside are great! 10/10 and the prices are also super fair with large portions. If you have not been here you need to check it out! Ive been a few times now and am always impressed!“
“Hidden gem of El Monte for healthy eating. Just steps from the courthouse and Open Sundays ? stopped by for our favorite Acai bowls and charcoal lemonade. Never a wait when you can call in your order. Was pleasantly surprised to see the expansion of the eating area with more tables for dining in. We've been patrons for over 2 years and we have always been greated with great service and quality food. When the option for healthy eating is available in our community, we chose Andreas ?We support small woman owned businesses with positive impacts in a healthy way of life.“
“I've had many açaí bowls from different spots and Roots & Rye just hits different. I loooooove that you can get not only the açaí blend but the matcha blend as well. Their portion size of each thing they add in the bowl is also perfect, not too much one one thing or another and there are definitely places that might overdo it on, say, the granola or the blended stuff. I've only been to this location so I can't speak for the other spots but at this one, they only let in a few people at a time which means a line can end up forming outside. I haven't had to deal with a long line before but it can definitely take some time to get everyone through and finally make it inside. Still, one of my favorite açaí places, if not my favorite!“

“A gem in Little Tokyo! One of my favorite places for matcha, and my top pick is the soft serve ?? The owners' attention is very friendly. The entire staff is attentive and always greets you with a smile.The space is quite small, and every time I've visited, it's always crowded.If you want to try something authentic, warm, and delicious, I recommend this place. ✨“
“If the review was solely about drinks, then I'd give it a 5 star. The ambiance is nice and relaxing. However, the parking lot in the back gets pretty dark after 5:30. However, please fix your kiosk system. There was a service fee on top of 10.25% tax for ordering the drinks yourself on the machine. Do better. Don't treat your loyal customers like garbage. It was extremely disappointing when I had to get told by your staff that they won't be able to refund the drinks.I was never taxed when I order directly from your cashier... and I had to pay a service fee for ordering myself. I was extremely disappointed.“
“Loooved this acai bowl place! They're located in Blossom Market Hall.We got a 24 oz bowl for $16 and it was enough to share between two. I chose an acai / coconut base, with chia pudding. Both the acai and coconut layers were SO refreshing! We topped it off with every fruit selection they had, and overall it was a nice balance :)Selections for toppings are pretty standard, though other acai spots I've been to have definitely had a broader selection. They have options between peanut or almond butter, granolas, and other plant seeds.Service was quick and prompt, and there's lots of seating in the market itself!“
“Best location in town for acai bowls and smoothies!!! Highly recommend Veranos!! I can’t get enough of the #25 with a scoop of vanilla protein !Dietary restrictions: Very macro friendlyParking: Can get tough with parking just because it’s shared with other businesses. The times I’ve gone I was able to find parking with no problem at all“
“The most delicious breakfast sandwich I've ever had. So many vegan/veggie options for my friend too. Next time I'ma have the yogurt granola and the chocolate Abuelita. The vibes are perfect too - beautiful art, cozy indoors, fresh plants “
“Visited on a Friday night around 8pm.Ambiance is really nice and perfect for a date night. The staff was so friendly and the restaurant is picturesque.We ordered the following:Salt and Peppered Paella (living): 4/5Yucca Friend Pho Beef Everything was so good!!! They have so many options and the waitress was really helpful in providing recommendations. The servings are huge! I honestly can’t wait to go back.Highly recommend!! FYI no alcohol is served there but they have really fun drinks and teas!“
“I just left Yo-Way Eatery about 30 minutes ago. Yo-Way did it again!!! My sandwich was huge and delicious. I'd like to go on and on but I would just be repeating what I said in my last review. The consistency of the deliciousness of their sandwiches ensures I'll be back next month. Thanks for a great meal. PS there's a really popular sandwich place in LA that has a reputation of being one of the best sandwich shops. Yo-way, you are second to none!!!“
“Besteas Boba is pretty good, and they often have good deals. They have a large selection of options. Just be aware that many flavors can taste very artificial, so if you’re not into that it may not be the spot for you! The owners are very nice!“
“Super refreshing fresh sugar cane juice that reminds me of SE Asia. The original cane juice is great to see what pure cane juice tastes like but the fruit mixes are excellent too like the calamansi one. Their chili chips are excellent and would be great just to pair with plain jasmine rice.“
“It’s been years since i last stopped by before I moved to Chicago. Can’t leave without having my boba. I grew up in the K-Town District. You don’t always have a chance to come back home to visit.Kid-friendliness: You can get your kid ice cream, Oreo boba.“
“Amazing Bingsoo! I've been dying to try this place and it did not disappoint! The owner was very sweet and cheerful! The bingsoo itself *chefs kiss* this has to be one of my new favorite dessert places! Please come try this, you won't regret it! Also side note, the actual location is inside of the market just go inside and you'll find it!“
“Gelato Amore Mio offers exceptional service and desserts at great prices. Their homemade ice cream and gelato are must-tries. The crêpe with strawberries, mango, whipped cream, Nutella, Lechera, and coconut gelato was my favorite. Highly recommended for a top-notch dessert experience!“
“Came across this hidden gem while driving down from the valley! Great quality and flavored drinks and one of the best Matcha latte with brûlée and oreos. An absolute game-changer! They use ceremonial grade matcha straight from Japan. The earthy matcha flavor combined with their cream brûlée made it an unforgettable experience.Not to mention their service and attentiveness is top-notch.“
“Shout out to the guy who delivered my drink to my car! It was super packed so I decided to wait for my drink in the car. When my drink was finished one of the workers came to my car to hand me my drink. I thought that was super nice and he went above and beyond. Also the cups are super adorable!“
“I really like Honey Hi. The food is healthy, and always gives me great energy. I used to always frequent this place and yet the salmon bowl -- which was pretty expensive. I'm not sure if they still make it. Everything is expensive considering the portions, and I've unfortunately had to cut back eating here in an effort to save a bit more money. But if I could afford to eat here everyday, I definitely would!“
“The protein coffee are amazing. One of the employees gave us a sample of one of their protein drinks. Which I believe was the peanut butter banana. It was delicious. Uptown Vibe is not just a cafe; it's a destination for those seeking a healthier alternative to their coffee and snack cravings. I highly recommend giving it a try - you won't be disappointed!“
“Nice and cool looking coffee shop. I tried the Spanish latte, the blueberry smoothie, the smores cookie, and two banana chocolate chip muffins. It was soo good, I loved all of it.Location: It's on the 2nd floor across from the sushi place. Once you get to the top of the first part of the stairs, make a right, and the coffee shop is in there.The coffee shop has a sweet lady who is very excited to see people come in. It's located in a private spot due to the number of closed shops on the same floor, so definitely stop by here and support this sweet lady. She works on her own and she always has the biggest smile. You can tell she enjoys making the drinks and food. Also, it's a great place to get cooled off. It's got nice seating on the side of the coffee shop and a gorgeous mural you can see.Wheelchair accessibility: Sadly, it's not wheelchair accessible :(“
“all I can say is " YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE, AT LEAST ONCE"make your own .... everything you want.... why wouldn't you love it!!!Good people. Good vibes... all around the best ice cream / funnel cakes / churros in LONG BEACH! ☀️“
“I stopped by randomly at night, and it was empty. The decor was nice and vibrant. With lots of anime stuff, which is awesome to me as an Otaku. I ordered the mango passion fruit lemonade. It was made quickly and to perfection. The level of sweetness to tartness was spot on. The lady asked me to taste it before I left to ensure I liked my drink. I told her it was perfect. This particular location has had many tea owners inhabit it, but hopefully, this place is around for a long while. I wanna try lots of other delicious drinks!“
“I absolutely love this juice bar! I found it by accident walking around the neighborhood and popped in for a smoothie. It was amazing. You can taste the freshness and quality ingredients. Everything is made with ripe fruit, fresh and organic ingredients. They even sold spotted bananas! This is my new juice place.“
“I used to frequent Bambu growing up and all the ones in my area closed. I saw this spot next to the restaurant I was having dinner at and knew I was going to be getting dessert from here. If I just hadn't had a pasta dinner, I would have ordered a Chewy Pandan but I knew that would be too filling so I opted for the Jelly Coco. The Jelly Coco is coconut water based instead of coconut milk so it's more refreshing and lighter. It fruits (coconut, lychee, longan) and fun pandan and basil seed bits. I enjoyed my drink and would definitely be returning to try the Chewy Pandan. Service was quick! We were there arounf 30 minutes before closing and although there were a few people who ordered ahead of us, we still got our drinks fairly quick. The inside has very few seating so I would'nt hangout there for too long.“
“I heard about Jugos Naturales through word of mouth. I decided to pay the establishment a visit. When I entered the restaurant it reminded me about the mom n pop shops aesthetic found in Mexico. Very vibrant colors and many pictures of the food they sell. The two ladies working the establishment were very kind and did not rush us when we looked over the menu. We diced to order a torta that did not disappint, an esquite with Hot Cheeto crumbs that was something new for me but definitely not a regret, a licuado de platano which was delicious, and a bionico that was extremely generous in serving. The food overall was delicious. I'd also like to add that the serving sizes are generous and their food is made to order. Will I be returning? No doubt. Thanks Jugos Naturales!“
“Beautiful stuff here. Staff did do great with their service and attention to detail. Really poured a beautiful matcha tea plus went nicely on the light boba. Flavors were great! I think the matcha quality isn't the best which doesn't make it a 5* drink but the baristas still did great.“
“bf and I went looking for something healthy after our hike and discovered this gem! The service is great and friendly, and the food is excellent! I had the strawberry salad and he had the chicken chipotle sandwich with side salad. The food was made well, all the fruit and greens were fresh and delicious! We were both very happy.“
“I'm so glad that there is a good restaurant like this near where I live. First of all, the food quality is good and the price is also good. Also, while eating the food, I felt how sincere the chef and owner are about the food. Other places often don't have fresh ingredients, but here all the ingredients are fresh and they don't skimp on the ingredients. It's close to home so I think I'll go often.“

“Great spot to get juices, smoothies, and snacks. The employees are nice, it's clean and has a funky vibe. I'm going to try the juices the next time I'm In the area. If you're out for a walk this is a good place to get your snack.“
“Just being totally honest here – the food is absolutely worth it! This place has a relaxed vibe when it comes to service and atmosphere. It's got this casual, neighborhood shop feel with a great selection of healthy options. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted by the delicious smell of their dishes. It's a treat for the senses!“
“Decided to treat myself to a milk tea after a run and looked up local boba shops in the area and came across Moo Tea. I got a regular milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice and it was good! The tea flavor was definitely present but not as strong as other places in the area. If you're a bit more sensitive towards sweetness in your drinks, I would stick with 25% as I found the 50% to be a bit too sweet for me. I came at around 4 PM on a Sunday and the store was empty so the service was undeniably quick. There's a kiosk to order from so you can take your time and look through the menu. Overall, a good experience and would come back!“
“One of my favorite places to stop by when in Compton, especially on a nice warm day.So many flavors to choose from. Workers are always friendly. One if the things I love most is you can get your flavored lemonade delivered to your event so everyone can enjoy a sip of this mouth watering lemonade.“
“This is truly a hidden gem. The biónicos here are amazing. We visit at-least once a week and we are always greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. We visit with my 3 year old daughter and they always acknowledge her and give her their undivided attention. The food is great and the ambiance is nice and cozy. I recommend everyone try this place.“
“Food: The food here was spot on! I thought this place wouldn't be that good, but once you try out these food items. It's like your tastebuds are in heaven. OMGGG. I would definitely recommend the Breakfast Sampler and the Omelette because these are one of the Customer Favorites here in Starlight Cafe, SG. The drink I ordered was an Iced Latte and it was just a little too strong for me. But the main attraction for me was the food and I'll give it a 5/5. Service: Staff was nice, helpful and welcoming. Thank you to the chefs who cooked our meal. The presentation was very beautiful. Almost like a Fine Dining Restaurant. Ambiance: Felt like a futuristic cafe once you enter through the doors of the because of the perfect lighting. Great place to hang and have a bite with your friends and/or family. Parking: Parking is a little weird and bad because the way the Markers are on the parking is slanted and you think that there is a way out on the other side but no... you have to back up and exit out. So far, that is the only downside for this Starlight Cafe. But overall experience was AMAZING! Thank you.“
“I came in for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, ordering a refreshing fruit smoothie. The service was quick, and the staff was cheerful and attentive, ensuring my order was just the way I wanted it. The fruit smoothie was exceptional! It was bursting with flavor, and the freshness of the fruits was evident. It was a delightful and healthy treat that hit the spot perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the smoothie. The quality and taste exceeded my expectations, and I felt like I got a real bargain for such a delicious and revitalizing drink. This juice bar is definitely a hidden gem.“
“What a great donut spot. Staff is friendly and always great you with a smile. The ambiance is your classic donut shop with a glass case to view your doughnuts as you make your selections. They have refrigerates that store your cold drinks like juice, chocolate milk, milk etc. of course they serve coffee for those of you who want one with your donut and they also sell breakfast sandwiches. We usually go for the donuts. Donuts are great. We've had everything from glazed, maple bars, chocolate bars, cake donuts and of course the traditional donut holes. Every donut is very good. You can't go wrong with any one you pick. Looking for a donut and cup of coffee, give this place a try. Oh! You can also buy lotto tickets as well. Stay hungry my friends.“
“This is a great place in the Japanese Village to get refresher that is healthy and tastes amazing without all the sugar additives. It's my go to place when I'm in Little Tokyo when I want a fresh, healthy and ice cold juice.Although they don't have a dine in area, they do have outdoor seating which is nice when you need to sit back and take in the people watching and decide on what store or restaurant you'll go to next.“
“NO BREAKFASTShowed up for breakfast sandwiches & the menu changed, they did not have breakfast options. This was the only reason for 4 stars rather than 5.I ordered the lavender oat latte without sweet foam & the farmers market sandwich. The latte was the perfect sweetness & the sandwich had super fresh ingredients & warm focaccia.It was almost $50 for 2 lattes & 2 sandwiches but the ambiance was great. Very clean with lots of natural light & roomy tables. A great place to get some work done.“
“We walked in and we were created by the owner. The store has plenty of activities to keep children and adults like entertained. My daughtereven made friends while we waited! We ordered smoothies the tropical smoothie was sooo yummy. My toddler got the nana smoothie and all she could say in the ride home was Mom try some of mine...it's soo good! GREAT DRINKS GREAT ATMOSPHERE GREAT OWNER!“
“I've been coming here for years. I have an aunt that lives nearby so I always treat myself to a lil biónico whenever I'm on this side of town or a large green juice with ginger when I'm in my healthy era lol. Staff is very friendly and can make anything for you as long as they have it. They also have a bunch of snacks you can only get in Mexico. So nice to see a local Mexican spot thriving. Check them out“
