Rose walnut baklava
Sophie C.

Bad Morning Bakery is one of those places where you can taste the love and care in every bite. Every Saturday, you'll find the whole family -- Vanessa, her husband, and her two sons -- working side by side at the market. The name itself is a family story too: it's inspired by one of Vanessa's sons, nicknamed "Bad Morning because he's not exactly a "morning person", she said with a laugh. I got to meet Vanessa and even see the magic happen behind the scenes. Vanessa, an engineer by training, taught herself everything through trial and error- a true labor of love. She told me that the dough go through a 48-hour fermentation, which gives them depth of flavor, a perfect chewy texture, and is easier to digest! She even uses two kinds of mozzarella (fresh and full-moisture) for the best stretch and creaminess in every bite. I tried their best seller: the za'atar & cheese man'ooshi, which is a fan favorite for good reason. Crispy, herby and lemony, cheesy, and pulled straight out of their 900-degree ovens. The rose walnut baklava was unlike any pastry I've had before -- rich, floral, and delicate. It felt like something you'd find at a hidden bakery abroad. Even by 10 a.m., their stand was packed! People clearly know how good this stuff is. Definitely worth showing up early for!

Update: I have been dreaming of the za'atar bread here and immediately bolted to this food stall to try another item. I got the veggie wrap which is essentially za'atar on a bread wrap with cucumber, mint, tomato, and labneh yogurt. It was good and very easy to eat while walking around the market, but just wasn't as good as the flatbread....I'll be back for the flatbread.

Our family is OBSESSED with Bad Morning! First of all, the owners of this family owned and operated business are the nicest and most caring people you'll ever meet. They care so deeply about their customers and menu items and it's obvious that they only use the freshest ingredients. The manaeesh are amazing--I've tried all of them and it's hard to say which one is my favorite. The zaatar and cheese has the best of both worlds and the veggie is amazing. The beef bacon, egg, and cheese is my go-to when I can't make up my mind. The manaeesh are perfect to take on picnics and to the beach, or to serve when we have people over for brunch. Our trip to Bad Morning is also never complete without the tastiest baklava I've ever had. And in the past few months, I've had summer in a drink with their refreshing lemonade.

Their food is addictively delicious! I wish they had a brick and mortar location. Get the shawarma, it's incredible.

Seasoning on the beef is bland. The bread is doughy. In other words keep walking by and save your money.

Clementine's has been around for a long time. My buddy George F. found out that they're now under…read morenew ownership. Curious to see if any changes were made to the restaurant or its menu, we met here for brunch on 10/04/2025. Upon entering at around 10:30am, we were immediately greeted and seated by the staff. The interior was clean, and the only change I noticed was they replaced the booths with tables. The menu was pretty much the same as before, with some new items added to it. George opted for the Baja Fish Tacos and I got the Meat Lover's Omelette. In addition to the food, we also ordered a couple beverages. Our order didn't take long to arrive. My omelette was made with bacon, sausage, ham, and a medley of chopped vegetables and it tasted pretty good. The accompanied Cajun seasoned country potatoes were pretty pedestrian. George gave me one of his tacos and it was delicious. The deep fried catfish used was crunchy on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside. Service we received was very good. The staff member were attentive and efficient. The restaurant biz is challenging these days so hopefully the new Clementine's will be able to find its footing. Based on this experience, I believe a 4-star rating is justified.

Overall, the food at Clementine's was really good and we enjoyed our meal. Unfortunately, the…read morefrench fries were a huge disappointment. The fries had some kind of heavy, starchy coating on them that gave them an odd texture and made them taste cheap and overly processed. They didn't taste like good, fresh french fries at all. I'm not sure what the coating is supposed to add, but in my opinion it really takes away from them. A simple, regular crispy french fry would have been SO much better. It's especially frustrating because the rest of the food was very good. Sometimes simple is better--ditch the starchy coating and serve a good old-fashioned french fry!

It's been a while since I've given Ukai a review so it's time to review again. Sushi is good…read more Portion sizes are decent. Service is great. I am allergic to shellfish so as much as I'd like to try their many sushi rolls, my choices were limited to sashimi or nigiri or meat dishes. I couldn't order a California roll because they mix real crab with imitation crab. That's a bonus! Too bad for me through. I ordered: Salmon Skin Hand Roll: Flavorful and the salmon skin has some meat on it. Definitely recommend! Hamachi Nigiri: Tasty My son ordered a combo dinner with Tonkatsu and Spicy Tuna roll. It came with miso soup, salad and rice. Nice size and everything tasted delicious. Ukai still looks exactly the same as before. So glad they're still here after so many years.

So Disappointed…read more Man, this place used to be the spot for me. I've been coming to Ukai Japanese Bistro for a while and it was always one of my go-to places for lunch, which is why the recent changes are honestly pretty disappointing. The lunch/dinner menu has gone up by well over 25-30%?, and unfortunately, I just don't feel like the food matches the new prices. The food seemed noticeably less fresh than I remembered, and overall the experience just didn't have the same quality it used to. I've also heard they recently switched owners, so maybe that explains some of the changes, but either way, the huge jump in price feels hard to justify when the quality seems to have gone in the opposite direction. It's a shame because I genuinely used to love this place and would recommend it without hesitation. At the current prices, though, I'm not sure I can say the same anymore. Hopefully they can bring back some of what made this place special.

We ordered the bread with the caponata dipping sauce, chicken piccata, salmon dill, butternut squash ravioli, linguine bolognese, spumoni gelato, and the crème brûlée. The food came out quick and was so fresh and delicious! Our server Andres went above and beyond! Victor was also very helpful as well. It was wonderful to see the restaurant busy on a random Wednesday night. We loved the lively atmosphere. I would eat here every day if I could!

If you get a side salad expect pretty much a full salad size. The restaurant is cozy with the kitchen being open. The bad: the food. The carbonara was described as "I like fettuccini Alfredo I just wasn't expecting it". I got the butternut squash ravioli, and the ravioli was overcooked while the filling somehow was maybe a little less or undercooked. A better sauce would be a brown butter sauce, it just doesn't pair very well with the Florentine sauce. I think it was also a little light on the salt. The calamari was interesting. It kind of looks like a fried fish. The bread oil was somehow sweet but spicy. The burrata actually wasn't that bad. While the service was great, I will not be back.
