Today I was introduced to Crust Artisan Bakery via a yelp event! Wow everything was so great!…read more I tried several sandwiches and the almond croissant! While the sandwiches were incredible, the almond croissant stole the show! It tasted like French toast in the best way! The space was really clean and you can even watch the workers bake all the tasty treats! I would definitely come back for breakfast or lunch, or even a great space to work from!

We stopped by during brunch one day because I was craving breakfast and we must have came just the…read moreright time because there was not a lot of people, but shortly after we were seated people started coming in and they had to wait a bit for a table. We sat inside and I ordered a simple brunch with just 2 strips of bacon, 2 over medium eggs and waffles. The server asked me if I wanted a full size waffle or half size and as I was watching the other people order I noticed people were not hesitating to order the full size option and I thought dang, they are not gonna finish that, so I opted for the half serving which was 2 pretty good sized waffles. Once I took my 1st bite, I suddenly regretted only ordering the half size option. I instantly knew right then and there why people ordered the full size. A waffle is a waffle right guys? Wrong... not this waffle. This waffle will make you feel love inside that you didn't know existed. As we were walking inside the restaurant I actually was picking a fight with my husband for no apparent reason... possibly because I was hungry but after I took my first bite, I forgot about the argument haha. I told him he needs to bring me here ALL THE TIME. I am yet to come back a 2nd time and I already anticipate loving it the 2nd time. We drove by one day hoping to have a 2nd try here and it was really busy so we didn't make the stop. I look forward to coming back and the next time around I will not hesitate to order a full size waffle order. The staff was really nice, our server was this young lady who was waiting on all the tables inside and some outside was on top of it. She was really pleasant and the gentlemen in the back were also nice. The restaurant was clean when we visited and the service was really quick. We parked down the street, the walk wasn't too bad, we didn't know where to park but I read some of the other reviews and I guess there's a parking in the back somewhere. If you live nearby and you haven't visited, do yourself a favor and try them out. If you travel from far away like me and you're looking for a breakfast or brunch spot with delicious waffles, this is the spot.

As soon as we sat down, the menus were brought right over. Our server was incredibly quick and attentive, immediately checking if we wanted coffee (heck yea!). She gave us plenty of time to review the menu without feeling rushed. I ordered the traditional breakfast with eggs, bacon, and hash browns, and added a side of waffles topped with strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream. Everything was prepared perfectly: * The Waffles: Incredibly light and airy. * The Fruit: Perfectly sweet and fresh. The whole breakfast was just done right. The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor seating. I loved that they even set up a table outside with water for people who are waiting for a table. Our server was very nice throughout the entire meal. I will definitely be back!

I've now visited Erik's Sweet Creations twice, and both visits have been such a treat! This bakery…read moreis so clean, cute, and beautifully presented, and every time I walk in, I find myself admiring the gorgeous selection of pastries and desserts. I'm especially in love with their mousse desserts! During my most recent visit, I tried the Banana and Coffee Bean, and they were both phenomenal. Each one had a delicate, crunchy outer shell with an incredibly soft, creamy, and airy mousse filling inside. The Banana had a fresh banana purée-like filling that added a nice fruity flavor, while the Coffee Bean had a delicious mocha-like center. Beyond tasting amazing, both desserts were absolutely beautiful and almost too pretty to eat! My only wish is that they had a little bit of cake incorporated into them for some additional texture, but that certainly didn't stop me from enjoying them. They also have a great variety of cakes, cookies, macarons, éclairs, and croissants. Everything looked absolutely stunning and heavenly. I could easily spend way too much time here trying to decide what to take home! I also appreciated that the prices were very reasonable, and the staff was polite, welcoming, and helpful. My sister and I actually discovered this spot together while I was visiting her, and it has quickly become one of her new favorites! I'll definitely be back to try more of their beautiful creations.

I recently tried Erik's Sweet Creation, and I honestly don't understand the hype…read more Aesthetically, the pastries are gorgeous. Presentation wise, they're a 5/5. The staff was also very friendly and provided great service. Unfortunately, the pastries themselves were a major disappointment. Being generous, I'd rate the taste a 1/5 and the value a 0/5. About 90% of what I had was just cream filling with very little flavor. They looked incredible but tasted bland and one-dimensional. For the prices they charge, I expected much more. What makes it even harder to justify is that they're priced similarly to Artelice, which not only delivers on presentation but also on taste. In my opinion, Artelice is in a completely different league. If you're nearby and need a one time gift for someone you'll probably never buy pastries for again, sure, these might impress visually. But if you're buying for yourself or for people whose opinion you'll actually hear again, this is a hard pass. Do yourself a favor and drive the extra 10 minutes to Artelice. You'll get pastries that are just as beautiful and significantly more delicious. I left genuinely disappointed and won't be returning. One star is for the aesthetics, and the other two stars are for the friendly service. The pastries themselves simply didn't live up to their appearance.

From the moment we started planning, TENI took such good care of us. She was sweet, caring, attentive, and made sure every little detail was perfect. You can genuinely tell that she puts her heart into what she does and truly cares about the people she works with. Their vendor was absolutely AMAZING as well! Everything came together beautifully, and the entire experience was handled with so much care and professionalism. And the food was incredible! Everything was fresh, delicious, beautifully presented, and our guests absolutely loved it. We received so many compliments throughout the night. What meant the most to me was seeing how special my dad felt on his birthday. TENI helped turn it into such a beautiful and memorable celebration for him and our entire family. She made everything feel easy, welcoming, and stress-free so we could actually enjoy the moment. TENI, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for my dad and our family. You made his birthday a night we will always remember. XO Cafe exceeded every expectation -- amazing food, amazing service, amazing people, and an unforgettable experience. I would recommend them over and over again!

The coffee was good, which is a plus. Nothing is worse than going to getting breakfast and the coffee tastes like brown water. Nothing the case here. It's a good cup and you get a refill. The food was a little overpriced, but it was good. $7 for 3 strips of bacon is insane! With tip this was a $36 breakfast which is why it's empty. It's a shame though because the food is good. If it was more reasonably priced this would be a definite breakfast spot to repeatedly come to.

The lady has gotten the classic ($9.50) & maiz con hielo ($8.50). My parents have gotten the buko pandan and the peach-mango, both were $9.50 each. The ube is good and comes with ube milk ice , ube halaya, nata de coco, pandan jelly, macapuno, flan and pinipig. Not a fan of boba in halo halo drinks, it just seems like a filler and an uneccessary one at that. I've noticed some Filipino dessert spots have pivoted to adding boba and replacing the standard pinipig with corn flakes.... I cant get with it and i'm glad Kiko has maintained pinipig in their drinks. It just completes it IMO. Service was friendly, it was packed the first time we went. It was a Saturday and there was not a single seat available. It looked like even some of the Titos brought their compact, foldable stools to join their friends. Very cool. My good friend tells me that Kiko is owned by the parent of one of my godsons. Good to hear and always ready to support local, especially one with a connection to the kiddos. Go check out Kiko for a cold sweet treat in this heat.

My only reason for giving 4 stars is the serving portion of the leche flan and ube toppings. I wish there were a little more of both, especially since they're some of my favorite parts of halo-halo.

Such a cute spot! This has become one of my favourite bakeries in LA. Compared to other bakeries,…read moreArtelice has really honed in on their French technique. I think I've tried half of the menu here lol. My go to is definitely the New York roll and the mango passion fruit cruffin. I love that they change their New York roll flavours often. What really stood out for me was how well balanced the flavours are in their fillings, especially in the New York roll and the cruffin. They also do really well with their citrus combos like the cruffin, exotic or the mango eclair. I wish there was more custard in their fruit danish and sometimes the croissants aren't as soft, possibly a little overcooked. But the pastry on the cruffin was one of the softest and most delicate I've ever had. The macarons are also great especially the yuzu, passionate, hazelnut and raspberry flavours.
