“Stumbling upon this gem was like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow - I needed a birthday cake for my hubby and friend of mine, pronto! Despite the last-minute scramble, I managed to slide in an order just in time. The lady behind the counter was an absolute delight, showering me with ideas for cake colors and fillings. Fast forward to pick-up time, and holy moly, I was floored! This cake wasn't just a cake - it was a work of edible art! The colors popped, the decorations were cuteness overload, and let me tell you, it tasted like a slice of happiness. I lost count of the compliments, and everyone wanted to know the secret cake haven I'd uncovered. Bottom line? This spot is a cake lover's dream come true!“
“My daughter went to SIX bakeries across Southern California for cake tastings. Six. Not kidding. She was very excited about Sweet Taders and thought she finally found the cake she wanted. I was nervous because even though the cake at the tasting g was good, replicating it for a 4-tier cake is very different than serving a smaller slice at a tasting. Holy cow! Not only was the cake itself absolutely gorgeous, the taste was out-of-this world. The cake was moist and light. The filling was creamy and the buttercream frosting was amazing. The overall flavor was light, not too sweet and FRESH! I have never had such an amazing wedding cake ever!! I can't recommend this amazing company enough. From the tasting, through the design process, to the final product - Samantha and her team at Sweet Traders did an amazing, incredible job.“
“I went with a group of people and we all tried the funnel cake with strawberry and churros. We loved the variety of dessert options they have. We also enjoyed the fact that the funnel cake and churros are freshly made. The strawberry topping was just a little too sweet for us. The churro was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with the perfect ratio of sugar and cinnamon. The customer service was very nice and generous when we asked for extra plates.“
“monster muffins cured me of my sweets addiction.I have to thank this place bc their muffins are so good that they ruined my taste for low quality processed desserts. You can tell from the taste of the muffins that they use quality real ingredients. Definitely real butter instead of the ultra processed vegetable oils. One of the only places with REAL fruit!my favorites:1. eggnog muffin (xmas only)2. apple pie muffin3. blueberry muffin“

“My wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and the most delicious wedding cake I’ve ever tasted! I got so many compliments on my wedding cake and I even had guests ask me if I had extra cake left for them days after the wedding! My cake tasting was such a fun experience and customer service was excellent. I highly recommend Sweet Traders for your next event and I will definitely be ordering more cakes in the future.“
“LOOKS GOOD ! We stopped by this tiny shop on Saturday. A woman presumedly the owner told us she makes all the chocolates but not the vegan ones. My wife thought I might like to buy an Apple Strudel but after asking the owner it was not the variety that appealed to me. WORTH A LOOK !“
“Tried this place randomly. Had their Chefs Special, which is pastrami and Turkey. It was good. My mom had their tuna, that was so good as well.Next time I'd like to try one of their cold subs pr their Cuban. Their potato salad was also really good, super homemade tasting. I'll definitely be going back.“
“Super cute spot in Huntington Beach, Whip is an absolute gem to chill at with their amazing space and offerings! I've tried their various Vietnamese Coffees with different foams and definitely enjoy the unique flavors like ube and creme brulee! They've got yummy snacks to pair with them as well along with the space to accomodate groups to hang or if you just wanna sit down for that aesthetic cafe vibe. Definitely need to check out their high tea eventually but this spot is a must check out!“
“We stumbled upon this spot in Newland Center, thinking it was just for breakfast. But wow, were we wrong! They serve up some amazing lunch sandwiches here. For under $10, you get a big, fresh sandwich that hits the spot every time. It's nothing fancy, just good, solid sandwiches at half the price of other places like Board & Brew.The staff is friendly and fast, making it a smooth visit each time. It's definitely the most underrated lunch spot around here. If you're looking for a great sandwich without breaking the bank, this is the place to go!“
“the german chocolate cake ATE!!! I got the huge one that feeds about 45 but everyone was able to take home a bunch for leftovers. The place is super adorable, feels like you're in germany! The person checking out my order over the food was very polite and helpful with choosing the correct cake size for my party. will def be back!“
“Kolache Factory Review: A Heartwarming Breakfast ExperienceDate Visited: December 16, 2023Location: Huntington Beach, CAAs a casual diner with a fondness for discovering unique culinary experiences, my visit to the Kolache Factory in Huntington Beach was nothing short of delightful. Growing up with kolaches as a holiday treat, finding this rare gem on the west coast, just a 30-minute drive away, was exhilarating.First Impressions:The Kolache Factory greets you with a warm, inviting, and small yet cozy atmosphere. The energy is casual and vibrant, with a hint of nostalgia for me. The staff's extremely helpful and personable attitude added to the homely feel of the place.The Culinary Experience:For breakfast, I decided to indulge in an Egg & Sausage kolache and an Egg & Ham kolache, accompanied by a large coffee. The kolaches were a delightful reminder of childhood - soft, warm, and filled with well-seasoned, savory ingredients. The coffee was good, though the experience was slightly marred by being burned by the large hole in the lid, which I believe could use a redesign for safety.Service and Staff:The service was notably fast; my order was ready within 1-2 minutes. The staff's efficiency was impressive, reflecting the well-staffed nature of the restaurant. Their friendly demeanor made the short wait enjoyable.Ambiance and Amenities:The restaurant's ambiance was energetic yet casual, perfect for a quick, comforting breakfast. It had gender-neutral, spotlessly clean bathrooms, adding to the overall positive experience. However, they could consider adding tap-to-pay options for convenience.Menu Variety:The Kolache Factory boasts a very diverse menu, with each item looking more tempting than the last. Although I'm not certain about their offerings for special diets, the variety was commendable.Value and Accessibility:The pricing was reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The restaurant's location was convenient, with easy parking - a big plus in a busy city.Final Verdict:Would I visit the Kolache Factory again? Absolutely, without a second thought. It's not just about the food; it's the entire experience - a rare find where every bite takes you on a nostalgic journey. This is a must-visit spot for anyone in Huntington Beach looking for a unique breakfast option or a taste of Eastern European cuisine.The Kolache Factory stands as a testament to the joy of simple, well-made food served with warmth and a smile. It's a reminder of the small joys in life - a place where food is not just nourishment but a celebration of culture and memories.(Attached are photos of my delightful breakfast, capturing the essence of my experience.)“
“I found Bani Bakery in Old World on Yelp while searching for a specific style for my daughter's Vintage Disney themed baby shower. I gave her pictures with my ideas and she provided me with exactly what I was looking for. The cookies were beautifully wrapped and were delicious! The cake was absolutely beautiful and everyone raved about how delicious it was and not over the top sweet. Beautiful and delicious cookies and cakes, and decorated so beautifully. I highly recommend you try this bakery.“
“I dropped just about everything that was set in front of me and Katy was quick to come to my rescue every time. Drink and food were amazing and all requests were accommodated. She even played into our humor which most servers would probably be annoyed with because if you have worked in the biz, you know when 8 ladies walk into the restaurant, it’s gonna be a treat. Katy for president!“
“My secret lunch spot! Love it so much! Best street Tacos in HB! And you have to Try the pineapple empanadas and the guava turnovers too! A great family run business with fast friendly service. Come and support your local community! Bring CA$H ($1.50 tacos) or they have Zelle for payment.“
“Awesome donut shop! Super friendly service with a smile, and delicious donuts. You can sit at a table inside or outside there is plenty of seating. We went for a Sunday afternoon donut run and tried Sweet O's for the first time. It was an instant hit with those cute bear (I think?) face donut, my child loved and said it was delicious. We will be back and are glad to have found this local spot. Great pricing also, I got the gourmet donut and sprinkle donut for less then 4$“
