The texture is always right and they're generously filled. It's one of their popular items, but they have a lot of other good stuff on their menu too! Their perashkis are good if you're looking for something savory (I wish there was an "assorted" box for this too for when I can't pick a single flavor). Also recommend their Bread broat - Adjarakan and Georgian Khachapuri. And then there's the cake section. Don't get me started on this. I'm admittedly biased when it comes to honey cakes but their assorted sheet cakes are SO GOOOOOOD!!! Just the right sweetness and texture, and good portion sizing (bless them for this because I'd eat the whole sheet otherwise).

Today my husband, who is very picky, decided to try their lahmajun for the first time. He loved it! It was crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. That was another win for Papillon.

Both their regular Halo-Halo and Upside Down Halo-Halo are SO GOOD! I also love their calamansi drinks and Cali-Mango Slush. So refreshing and delicious! The atmosphere is another reason I keep coming back. They even have a cute little mini library with books, which I love! There are always people studying or just hanging out, and it has such a nice, relaxed coffee shop vibe. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently good.

You can either order with the staff or order through the kiosk on the right side. You have an option to type on the text box if you need to change the milk to oat milk, for example. I always ask for just in case they do have oat milk so if you have any special requests, depending on how busy it is, might be better to talk to someone to order!!! The Tiger Tea was really delicious and was a good amount of sweet. The Mermaid drink was a fav from my group. I really liked the Milo and the Ube Milk teas.

Their current storefront is a cart in front of Alfred Coffee on Ventura Blvd. Parking is a tad difficult but can be found on the street - free around the block if you like getting those steps in! While they do allow samples, it's difficult to select from so many unique flavors! Alas, I had their Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell and Walnut Baklava. My biggest surprise with the baklava. Having tried several baklava in the past, I often forego it because it's too sweet, heavy, and thick. While the taste was similar, I found this more soft and creamy which was pleasant. The second surprise was that chocolate shell, which was freshly frozen. I can't explain how amazed I was, I wish I got a video! For a small little cart, they really had many tasty flavors.

It was kind of late in the day for caffeine, so I looked at the menu and the Grapefruit Sparkling Ade caught my eye - I have a fondness for grapefruit at times. The barista warned me it might be on the bitter side, but that didn't scare me so I went ahead and ordered it. It wasn't that bitter at all, very refreshing. So if you are looking for something fruity and sparkling here, try this drink! The space is very small, so if you are looking for a place to work, you might need to look elsewhere though.

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.

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.

Love this place! I got them to do my sons's Mario Bros theme birthday party and they went above and beyond! From the custom cake to the entire dessert table. I came with the idea of what we wanted and they gave me more than I could imagine.They did chocolate remotes & mustaches, characters decorated cookies,cake bombs even something called tierritas to emulate the piranha plants of the game which people had to ask me if they were edible cause of how real they looked.The kids love it as well as the parents :) Everything was spot on, affordable, beautiful and simply delicious. I can't compliment enough the whole Cake Bash Studio team for their awesome work and service.I would for sure hire them again and will recommend them without thinking twice.

As I began to approach the entrance of the store with the big box of cake, there was yellow tape everywhere and emergency responders swarming the area. My friends and coworkers were gathered at the door when I walked through them carrying the cake. 15 minutes before my arrival, there had been a fatal car accident directly in front of the store that involved several additional victims. My friends and coworkers were immediately and desperately assisting the victims before emergency services arrived. We all left within 30 minutes, and I was forced to dispose of the cake. I called Sweet E's two days later to explain the situation with a complete understanding of the fact that there was likely no way of being able to have another cake delivered. I just felt awful that my sister's birthday gift had gone to waste. The manager, Sharee, was incredibly understanding and within minutes of our call, had arranged for another cake to be delivered.
