“If you haven’t been to a Baskin Robbins lately, I highly recommend going there. The Baskin Robbins in Encino is great. The staff is amazing. I am always warmly greeted every time I come into the store. It is super clean and they have an amazing assortment of Cakes, ice cream, frozen bananas, and tons of other amazing tasting treats. The people who work there make the environment, warm and friendly and make you wanna come back time and time again. I cannot stress enough that if you haven’t been in here lately, it’s time to come back.“
“Good selection of flavors and toppings, but I especially go for their no sugar added or sugar-free yogurt, which they usually have one or two flavors only.Vegetarian options: I have some milk free sorbet.Dietary restrictions: Seriously have one or two sugar-free or no sugar added or low carb keto type options.“
“This is a great place for grandkids because they can serve their own yogurt and request their own toppings. My wife and I joined them so there were 4 people enjoying yogurt. That was the good news. I am a retired businessman who could afford the $35 tab. How could a regular family? That was with no tip as the only service provided was paying the bill.“
“I recently visited Tang and Java and was blown away by the exceptional experience they offer. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff, and it was evident that this is a place that values customer satisfaction above all else. Not only do they offer high-quality items, but their commitment to using locally sourced ingredients adds a level of freshness and authenticity to their menu that is truly commendable.What's even more impressive is that Tang and Java is a women-owned business, which makes supporting them even more meaningful. It's inspiring to see such dedication and passion reflected in every aspect of their operation.Whether you're looking for a delicious cup of coffee, a tasty pastry, or a satisfying meal, Tang and Java has something for everyone. I highly recommend stopping by and experiencing their fantastic offerings for yourself. You won't be disappointed!“
“So goooooddddd. But the passion fruit was a bit too sweet which I didn't notice when I tried a sample. But when I got it as one of my scoops I said whooaah lol but very good flavor. Very small but cute. Great customer service the young lady was very patient with me and my two friends.“
“Chocolate Oreo Ice Cream! Let me tell you it definitely hit the spot, one of the best ice creams I've tried I can see why it's one of their top flavors. I got the single scoop and it's a good amount of serving but I should have gotten a double scoop for sure! If you love chocolate ice cream and Oreos, then this is the perfect flavor for you. Although, there is a hint of coconut in the aftertaste in case you're not too huge on coconut. But the actual flavor overpowers it. We went late at night but the service was still good! You have to be careful not to miss the window it's right next to a small coffee shop. There's a few chairs around to sit after or you can walk around and see the other shops around. Very small space but great ice cream! I will definitely need to go back and try other flavors!“

“I recently went here for a date night out and was blown away by the friendliness of everyone who worked there. Everyone was so helpful and kind. They gave us recommendations based on flavors they thought we would like and even got us to experiment with new flavors (the balsamic and strawberry). The ice cream was delicious and creamy and the customer service was out of this world! I will definitely be coming back!!! Sonny's has it right!!“
“The character of Charlie Bucket in Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is not the only one who jumps with glee at the thought of touring a chocolate factory. Let's be honest: most people, of any age, would savor the chance to see how chocolate is made, breathe in the sweet scent of warm brown liquid chocolate and sample some of the delectable treats. Did you know that this fantasy is a reality here in our very own Los Angeles? That's right! We have a chocolate factory AND you can tour the facilities! LetterPress Chocolate is the baby of husband and wife team Cory and David. Cory and David had a passion for chocolate but also for graphic design (David) and the environment (Cory). The ingredients (pun!) were in place to get into the chocolate business and infuse it with individual niche skills and thus; LetterPress Chocolate was born in their APARTMENT where the lovely scent of chocolate delighted their neighbors but their landlord? Not so much and therefore they moved to a retail storefront. For the record, LetterPress Chocolate is a chocolate maker where they actually make chocolate versus a place like See's who is a chocolatier where they re-melt chocolate and add mix-ins to make bon bons, truffles, etc. This factory and retail space can be accessed on Roberston near Mid City and Culver City in an unsuspecting strip plaza where one would think it is an actual printing press behind the brick walls versus a chocolate heaven (parking is available in front with street meters). LetterPress of course sells their chocolate bars in the storefront but also offers tours (online booking, $20/person) and this is where the fun begins! There is so much to do in LA; but touring a chocolate factory is certainly a unique and extra-special treasure that you didn't even know existed! We were welcomed by the official tour guide Wesla (LetterPress is a three-person business! How impressive is that?!) and were lucky enough to have no other patrons booked for our tour slot so we instantly felt VIP. We were given masks and hairnets (tip: this is a fragrance-free tour so no perfume, ladies! Wear closed toe shoes, no stilettos, no fur, etc; and bring a jacket as it is chilly in the cooking area). The tour consists of three parts: 1) an i-Pad slide show describing the business and chocolate/cacao itself 2) tour of the facilities 3) chocolate sampling flight The first part of the tour may sound like school work to you but it is absolutely fascinating and Wesla is a great teacher. There is SO much to learn - and you actually retain it! - about cacao, chocolate beans, trees, pollinating trees (midge flys do the work! Look them up!), the farmers and countries involved, the cost of wholesale purchasing and shipping (you will never want to eat Hershey's again!) and so much more. Additionally, you will learn about LetterPress as a business, their fair trade and environmental initiatives, their actual chocolate and even about their labeling/marketing! It's all very enlightening and extraordinary! After the brain has grown some wrinkles from chocolate education; it is time for the tour. Granted the tour is small/short and more like a kitchen area than Willy Wonka's air hangar-sized compound but it is still super fun to see the process in action and what goes into making chocolate and chocolate bars. Finally, you return to the storefront and it is time for a tasting flight of chocolate! LetterPress sells dark, milk and white chocolate (although white is technically not chocolate) and even ice cream; but the tasting on my tour consisted of 8 dark chocolate samples. Similar to wine or coffee beans; the country of origin of the chocolate pods gives the beans different flavors, notes, etc. My samples hailed from Costa Rica, Tanzania, Ecuador, Venezuela, Sao Tome, Peru and Jamaica with flavor notes ranging from peppery, nutty, floral, fruity, mocha, caramel, berries, spicy, fudgy, peanut butter-y and even banana! Once you complete your flight, you can also ask for any of the samples behind the count“
“Love it here but sad my wonka cookie didn't have W's :( and I got the party box. I love the staff here. This has to be my only complaint. I purchased the box on the release day. Wish the gold W was done on the cookies as they were marketed Willy Wonka cookies. That was the coolest part haha. I saw the golden W detail was done at other crumbl cookie locations and that is why I am here writing this.“
“The workers here are great when I pulled up. There was no parking in front. I called. The young lady told me to swing back around. She would bring it out to my car. That was a wonderful deal. I ended up making it to the party early and gave the cookie to the birthday girl hooray.???????????????????????????“
