“As I was driving, the store sign caught my eye and I u-turned back. So glad I did because the pastries did not disappoint! The concha was probably my favorite. I've tried many -- from El Super market to panaderias in Mexico City -- and the conchas they make are solid. My second favorite was definitely the polvorones. Love the tricolors so much. It's worth the visit for fresh pastries! They also have other food available but I didn't get that this time around. Next time!“
“My fiancé and I have put Mazal in our rotation of FAVORITE places. It's not just the food, but since it's yelp..... THE FOOD: I'm new to the vegetarian lifestyle, and started reluctantly under doctor's orders. Mazal has been a revelation! Tal and his staff prepare vegetarian dishes that taste amazing because they were always intended to be vegetarian! Fresh fennel salad, hearty beats with cumin, silky humus and baba ganoush. And mushrooms so perfectly grilled that they taste - dare I say - MEATY, like a mushroom should! So yes, the food is supurb. But that's not the reason we come back. Nor is it the reason we decided to celebrate our recent engagement with them. Mazal feels like a home. The decor is warm, the patio is beautiful and spacious, and Hanni, Tal, and the rest of the staff are kind and welcoming. So, I suggest you come for the food, stay for the people, and come back for both.“
“The doughnuts here are very interesting and unique. They are pretty good a little busy and definitely bougie. I would recommend giving them a try. They are very pretty but they have a lot going on. The s'more doughnut was quite delicious.“
“Came here to try their Pan de Elote and their Chocolate Cake. The Pan de Elote was amazing - specially topped with ice cream! The Chocolate Cake was too dense and sweet for my liking but definitely coming back for their Pan de Elote! They have their own lot so parking was easy for us.“
“Amazing cannolis! The service was great as well. They made our cannolis on the spot fresh, it was so good. We got the cannoli with vanilla custard in it as well as the chocolate one they have which tasted like an oreo, and then the original cannoli which was also great. Really great vibe to the place as well, I will definitely be back!“
“Such a cute spot for coffee and lunch. They have good sandwiches, croissant, and coffee. Indoor and outdoor seatings available.I ordered:1. Matcha latte with oatmilk2. Chicken pesto sandwich3. El doe sotelo - egg whites, roasted and fresh tomatoes, fresh cilantro, avocado and olive oil. Black beans on the side. This is arepas for breakfast with the choice of scramble eggPaid street parking is available for this Pasadena downtown area.“
“Cute outdoor cafe with delicious scones and tea. My party had a variety of flavors and everyone enjoyed their choices. My favorites are the matcha white chocolate , ube coconut and chocolate chip. The options for vegetarian sandwiches and vegan/gluten free scones were yummy and appreciated.“
“Visiting from out of town and was so happy to try this entirely gluten free gem! The staff was so friendly, we had breakfast biscuits, donuts, coffee and more. Everything was so good. I also got a caramel bread pudding to go and it was amazing. Like another reviewer said, thank you for existing!!“
“This is a solid spot for lunch, baked goods, and pantry items (sauces, dressings, cookies, etc.) The shakahuka can’t be missed, and the same goes for the Ho Barcelona sandwich. ? I’ve come through here many times throughout the years, and everything I’ve ordered has been from really good to great.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian sandwiches, quiches, and other lunch items.“
“1903... wow. A friend bought a box of mochi here and I was able to try some. I'm not big on mochi since I'm just so so with red bean filling, which is most common. The mochi was pillowy soft though. I'm glad I got to try it from this place. If you're looking for mochi in Sacramento, Osaka-Ya is just as good!“
“Tiny little bakery, in little Tokyo specializing in Asian baked goods. It was packed so I didn't look at everything they had, but they had plenty of good looking sweet stuff to ruin your Hollywood diet. I just grabbed snacks to take on my travels. I snagged a bag of melon pan and it looks and taste just like anime told me it would. Also got a couple steamed buns, sadly they were sold out of anko, but I got pork and curry. Haven't tried those yet, but the melon pan got me excited for them.“
“I have accidentally found the greatest toast in all of America. I was here to meet some friends for an event and thought I’d pop in for a quick bite. I ordered the avocado toast thinking it would be an unremarkable snack. Have you ever experienced something so above and beyond expectation you wonder if you’re on a hidden camera show? This toast is that good. Toppings were fresh, seasoning was on point, and the toast was perfectly soft but toasty. Also ordered the Michelle Wi which lemonade and black tea. Great atmosphere, really friendly staff, nice patio and neighborhood parking nearby. Would it be rude if I ordered another toast? Actually considering it.“
“I highly recommend Yvonne‘s vegan kitchen. Yvonne has some of the best desserts, breads, and pastries that you can’t find anywhere else. I literally drive from Orange County all the way out to Pasadena because her desserts and bread are so amazing. Yvonne goes above and beyond and she is a very kind-hearted Soul and I would not want to put my money into any other business. Yvonne made a special birthday pie for me years ago over six years ago and I still think about it to this day. That’s how amazing it was.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free friendly“
“I had their Tiramisu cake slice. Kinda dry. Staff was more interested in having their own conversations than taking my order. I felt like I waited forever but probably was more like 5 minutes for them to finally take my order. I also had their chocolate chip cookies. Definitely delicious.“
“One of my favorite eateries in the world. I’m from France and this is one of the few places that is as indulgent as home with their baked goods. They made me a beautiful birthday cake years ago despite an unusual flavor request. Their biscuit-bun burger is delicious and the terrace is an awesome cozy spot to hang out. A must try if you’re in the area!“
“This was the perfect size mini pies for all your cravings. Sweet & savory- love it! We purchased an order of 6 for 4 of us and left 2 for our host. Had the key lime, berry, variety of others. Didn't try savory pies but those looked yummy! We will be back“
“This bakery was doing free, Easter cookie decorating kits for the kids. The presentation for the kids was really above and beyond but the real gem was the gentleman behind the counter. He was super nice and interacted with the kids in a really great way. I can’t wait to come back here again.“
“I'm not even vegan or gluten-free, I just love the food! The first time I stopped by was for a party I was having and I wanted sweets for people with various dietary restrictions. I wasn't even home before I decided to try one. It was so good, I had to call them and let them know how much I loved it!From what I've heard from other bakeries is... you can do vegan and make it good, or you can do gluten-free and make it good, but it's really tricky to get both together and make it taste right. But Cake Girl makes it taste right! Rich and moist and not too "fake".I refer friends here all the time, and although I normally avoid eating too many sweets, I do love stopping by on occasion for a treat!I love the location and everyone there is really nice!“
“I’ve been here a couple times. Good service and ambiance with a convenient parking lot and some street parking. I have tried the veggie and margarita as well as the Mac n Cheese specialty they have on Sundays. They were all delicious. I didn’t expect the Mac n Cheese to be good but had to try it and was pleasantly surprised. This is my new spot for slices!“
“My gf and I come here for our anniversary every year and every year the food is PERFECT, the service is PERFECT, and the ambiance is PERFECT. Shojin is the BEST vegan sushi I have ever had. Everything about this place is absolutely incredible. We are happy customers every time we eat here. THANK YOU Shojin!“
“Such a cute place and the food is fresh!I ordered an item that was tasty, but I didn’t care for it. I took it back and they were so nice about it!!! AND I looked at other peoples orders and that all looked very good — fresh vegetables, vegan offerings, etc.“
“My bff brought home 2 vegan pan dulces from here, they were tasty , but not mind blowing. Props & blessings to Them though for making vegan items . I had a pumpkin empanada & concha type pan: too dry imo. I'll recommend cuz they're vegan, but I won't purchase or travel here. Can't opine on the price or parking or staff as I didn't visit the site.“
“This is the head quarters store next to their offices and college. They get you through the drive-up fast and the staff is friendly. FYI: They don't take EBT so if ypu use an EBT go some place else. They do take cash, credit and debit. You can sit inside and eat or outside at their tables outside. I don't know if they do curbside. They don't deliver. This place is a SoCal Icon and treasure! ;)Parking: The IN-N-OUT Autotopia is like a ride at Disneyland, but it goes faster. There is more parking at the back side of the building where you pull in for the drive thru. ;)“
“I recently moved to the area and this was our first time at The Proper Restaurant but it most certainly won't be our last. Everything ... and I mean everything was excellent! I started out with the Proper Clover Club cocktail and it was so refreshing and delicious. My husband and I then shared the white chicken chili which was equally delicious. For our entrees, my husband ordered the miso salmon which was out of this world and I got the chicken piccata. The chicken was cooked perfectly, lightly breaded and the pasta was tossed in a wonderful lemonny piccata. I also had a Malbec which was so smooth, I wanted to order the whole bottle (but alas, I did not). And since everything else was so good, we couldn't leave without ordering dessert -- the warm butter toffee cake. My mouth is still watering thinking about it. I can't wait to go back to The Proper Restaurant!“
“We went out of our way to try this place on a spring break vacation from Canada. With two celiacs in our party, we were very pleased. The gluten free garlic knot dough is so fluffy! The fresh garlic taste was a bit strong for my daughter, but the adults loved it. The basic gluten free pizza dough was really chewy and tasty, even for the 10-year-old. The adults tried the broccoli crust, which was interesting. I'd be interested to try more crusts if we lived closer! We were proactively asked if there was a gluten allergy, and then told that the kitchen has a separate gluten-free area and oven. I also really liked the EDM playing in the restaurant!“
“Incredible! My wife and I both had the 6 Hand Roll and would order it over and over. We were in, ate a fabulous meal, and were out in less than 45 minutes. Such a cool experience to sit there and watch them make your rolls. The fish was cold and the rice was warm-perfect combo. Highly recommend.“
“Delicious!! We had 24 cupcakes made for my mother's 84th birthday party with the adorable decoration added on. Needless to say they were a fantastic hit. Everyone working there is so helpful and professional,we told everyone and can't wait to repeat business with them Bravo you guys.“

“Shared a pizza and salad with a friend…the food was totally delicious! The venue is very cozy and friendly. The wait staff were extremely attentive.Parking: Arrived for an early lunch at 11am, and parking in the parking garage was plentiful. The elevator took us close to the restaurant.Validation is available for restaurant customers. With validation, I ended up not having to pay for parking, even after enjoying a leisurely lunch with my friend.“

“For all espresso snobs, it's legit! I was pleasantly surprised. I got a latte. Never get syrups or sugar and very balanced and smooth. Interesting notes. Really nice. Milk was great texture and temperature. I don't live close but anytime I'm in the area I know where I'm going. Just leaving this review so anyone else who is a coffee snob can also find a good coffee.Vegetarian options: Vegan cookie was really nice“
“A great crepe place in Temple City. They not only have dessert crepes but also have savory crepes with lots of meat and seafood available as well. Ordering is easy and there are an insane variety of toppings and add-ons available. I tried their Tuna, added bacon and other veggies. Glad I ordered it to go because once you start eating it, it gets sloppy good. I will be going back again“

“Came here on a rainy day with my dog and loved what a great spot this was. It was pretty dead but the coffee selection was great (although espresso was a little burnt), there is ample space for your dog outside and inside. Highly recommend the empanadas!“
“Good iced latte with friendly service. There was a decent amount of seating inside, with a nice high ceiling. There was a lot of outdoor seating at the back, under a canopy for shade. Also somehow one of the few coffee shops with a restroom.“
“Recently moved to the area and been driving by this place for a while. Finally took a short walk to it and was blown away with how amazing the food was! Got a goat cheese tart and blueberry cheesecake muffin and were blown away.The lavender syrup she has for the drinks was delicious and the seating and atmosphere is simply lovely. Will be coming back here as soon as we can!“
“I’ve been a diehard loyalist to the Arts District Pizzanista, and it’s still so odd to me that they opened one in sleepy San Marino, but no complaints from me! The slices are the same taste and quality as their AD counterpart, and the vibe is as chill as the area that it’s in. It’s a must for a casual lunch if you’re in the area.“
“I love this place. Just remember weekends are super busy starting at 9:00am be patient and not to hungry ?.-the service is ? friendly-the atmosphere is so calm and nice make you feel fancy ?. $$ of course don’t get to surprise ?.-the food very tasty ??“
“The parking structure was easy to find. I ordered the cannolis and sfogliatelles both of which were amazing. The sfogliatelles were crispy, and the cannoli shells were crunchy. The orange in the custard/ricotta was flavorful! The cashier was very friendly and prompt with serving me!“
“There subs are delicious !!!!!! And sweet bread oh man everything there is delicious I just bought a small mocha tres leches cake hopefully it's good I count 3 ladies that work there that are beyond nice and have great customer service there are some old ladies that are straight out rude and look at you like you're dumb and they won't bother to ask you if you need help I'm still giving it 5 stars because it's not the other ladies fault that they want to be rude“

“This was my first time at Mooyah Burgers I have to honestly say that was one of the best Burgers and fries I have ever had. (I live around 40 miles away from Mooyah and happened to be in that neighborhood that Saturday I had to go back on Sunday because it was good) I feel bad because I don't remember the lady that helped me, she was so nice and accommodating. If it helps, I was there on Saturday March 20th around 3pm. She deserves a raise. Thank you so much for the excellent service!“
“Stopped in for the first time this morning. I ordered The Oslo breakfast sandwich on sourdough (rather than the everything bagel ) and I must say that it was amazing! The flavors, the textures. All the ingredients are fresh. There is so much detail in this sandwich. I happened to be in the area for work but I would drive across town for this sandwich! Staff was very friendly.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated my seed allergy by replacing the everything bagel with sourdough bread. Highly recommend ordering it this way!“
“We absolutely love Susie Cakes. Every cupcake and cake that we have gotten there have been so delicious. The chocolate flourless cupcake is probably my favorite, it is like biting into a chocolate pillow.Today we tried the candy cane cake, champagne cupcake and mimosa cupcake. The candy cane cake is chock full of candy cane pieces. The mimosa had a light orange flavor and the champagne cupcake had a very light flavor in the frosting.“
“If you’re particular about your Matcha you will find that Midori Matcha matches your expectations. They use ceremonial-grade matcha so the colors are vibrant and the flavor is well-rounded. I felt that their matcha had a little kick to it, very subtle but it was that note presented itself at the very end of a sip.Their prices are very reasonable at $6 for a matcha latte and $3 for their matcha ice cream.It’s a beautiful establishment, the interiors are wooden and inviting. The shop is located right across a water fountain and has plenty of seating inside and outside.The employees are knowledgeable and friendly. It’s one of my favorite places downtown to grab authentic matcha ?“
“I was invited to a lunch with my senior ladies, who make hand made items for hospice patients.I was pleased with our waiter Erick, who single handedly took care of over 30 ladies orders. He was very attentive to our orders & refilled our drinks & bread without asking.I had their meat sauce w pasta, it was almost as good as my own!I plan on coming back with my mother & stepdad soon.“
“Came here after a long road trip with a big group and had an amazing experience! Great menu selection, and server helped recommend what to order, what dishes, vegetables, meats, noodles etc. Food came out quickly, they gave us a little cart for everything. They frequently came to clear empty dishes and help if we needed to order more. I highly recommend the scallion crispy pancake! The sauces are great, even better when mixed. The soup tasted great and we took some home too :) Highly recommend this place.“
“Ilove SugarBloom Bakery!!!My wife and I love the bake-at-home plain croissants and chocolate croissants. It is the best combo, waking up to fresh croissants every morning would be the best way to start your day!!!Did I mention I love SugarBloom Bakery, some favorites mine are: Sesame Pretzel Croissant (vegan), White Miso Kouign-Amann, Spam & Kimchi Croissant, Miso Butterscotch and Triple Threat Chocolate chunk cookies, of course the plain/ chocolate/ham and cheese croissants. Some items I want to try is the chocolate hazelnut croissant, vegan everything croissant. Anything else I should try?“
“This is one of our usual Italian places for takeout since they no longer have dine in. We had a take out order for hot chicken parmesan sandwich, added the extra cheese and veggies like onions, mushrooms and green peppers, (but they forgot to add that in; hence the -1) like they have for their hoagies. And also ordered the side quart salad with extra dressing on the side. This place is always consistent with their flavors and always fresh. This was perfect for two people to share. And we added a can of Dr. Pepper. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you like condiments, you have to ask for it. I always ask for red pepper flakes, plates, forks, and napkins. They pack it nicely in a box always. The wait time is usually about 15-20 mins depending on the amount of orders they get. Usually, by the time I place the order and drive out, it's ready for me. They have a small parking lot in the back and side street parking on Coolidge Ave off Washington Blvd. Enjoy!!“
“A little mom and pop down an alley in Pasadena. Great ambience, the menu is amazing with a wide variety for different palettes. The cocktail menu is extensive, and our server, Dana (who is amazing) recommended several drinks that I absolutely loved. The service from Dana was exceptional and the live music was incredible. Looking forward to dining here again!“
“Coffee And Plants (est 2019) is cute lil plant-based coffee shop tucked in an alley way of One Colorado Square in Pasadena. It’s founded by Leona Lewis, Dennis Jauch, and friend Achraf Sekhiri. I bet you didn’t know that. HaHa!They have specialty drinks, drip and pour-over coffees, cold brews, special teas and seasonal menu items. Its pulchritudinous indoor and outdoor design is infused with faux plants and flowers; indoor seats were limited and layout lacks space but their front outdoor seats does make up for it.I was perfunctorily greeted by a staff. I perused their menu and ordered a regular cold brew (10oz) x almond milk. I liked the taste and smoothness. I honestly think it’s kinda small for a $6.25 tag price. Condiment section was organized and clean. Staff was competent. Atmosphere was relaxing. Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed my drink as a first time visitor.“
“We just ate here last weekend and my falafel gyro combo was very good. My wife had a salad which was way smaller than I would have anticipated, especially for the price. The mango sangria was delicious too! Service is great but for the price, portions were smaller than expected.“

“Definitely unique and a class of it's own. The pizza was delicious. The Chef's know what they are doing. Service was on point and great hospitality. The place was nice and clean. Great vibe! Small and awesome! My little human loved the pasta!“
“Was in the mood for some dan ta as my usual place was closed for the day. Found this on Yelp and thought it was worth a shot. Really great Portuguese and regular egg tarts. Crispy outer crust and a super creamy and tasty custard. Great prices, service, and people. I'd gladly come back to try more items“
