There's a lot of seating available. A few in the front patio, more inside the store and tons at the back where our meeting was held. I didn't know that drinks and pastries will be served so I ordered a mango matcha and enjoyed a croissant that's already in the table when we arrived. The young lady in the counter was very friendly. She even went to check on us in the back if we needed anything. I even asked for her name but my old brain forgot.

The peach mousse is definitely one of my favorites, and you can't go wrong with the tiramisu or the raspberry cheesecake. The macarons are also fantastic, flavorful, and perfectly made. Not only is everything amazing, but the mousse and many of the other desserts are crafted like works of art. You can tell a lot of care, skill, and attention to detail go into every creation. The pricing is very reasonable and worth every penny. If you're looking for exceptional desserts that taste as good as they look, I highly recommend Erik's Sweet 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.

I can now enjoy my cravings in peace and pull up to potlucks with everyone's favorites. I ordered a concha, puerquito, and quava emepanada.

Rubina, the owner being so sweet, kind, nice, and helpful helped me to choose variety of cupcakes for my friend, and also helped me to decide what my cravings were.? I went with like 6 cupcakes of different kind, and they looked AMAZING!! Got Chocolate cupcake, berry cupcake with light frosting on top, & Red Velvet Cupcake for me and my son to share. Their cupcakes are seriously addicting, in the most dangerous way!:-) They are light, fresh, yummy, and full of flavor w/out being too sweet. Simply irresistible. They have a clean shop, cute, quaint, and welcoming. They only make cupcakes. No other types of goodies. Just letting you guys know. They do deliveries and small catering for your occasions. Moderate prices. Plenty of parking shared with numerous businesses and one last thing; go see the owner and she will help you to pick out your favorites!

Parking nearby is challenging; there's very limited metered parking on Magnolia as well as on Lankershim, but I recommend driving to the residential streets behind Republic for free street parking. I've come twice now on weekday afternoons and it's definitely a popular spot both for groups and solo diners! I've never had to wait long and service is efficient and polite! Strawberry Rhubarb Pie 5/5, unexpected hit!! This is surprisingly less sweet and more tart than anticipated and all the while sm better as a result! Blueberry Peach pie 3/5, didn't do it for me, kind of bland, overall v average Matcha latte 3.5/5, average but not bad Banana matcha latte 4/5, enjoyable, but definitely on the sweeter side Coconut matcha latte 4.5/5, this was my goldilocks just right type of drink! the coconut water adds polite hints of sweetness to the matcha which retains its traditionally bitter flavor, would def get this again!

If you like crispy pizza and delicious seasoned meats, you are going to love lahmajoun. It's…read moreliterally bread with meat spread on it and it is absolutely delicious. This is one of those rare dishes that you really won't find outside of LA or Armenia. I've lived in LA on and off for 18 years and it took me this long to try it. It's great here. Crispy and savory together. This place specializes in it. The woman that works there is kind but doesn't speak much English. Don't try and force conversation lol this place is very transactional. The ambiance is super old world. I love it. Feels like you are in a village bakery. Great prices. I also got the sesame one. The flavor is VERY bold on that one, so don't get it unless you are ready to try something your pallet isn't use too. I liked that one, but it was pretty oily and herbaceous. Great place. I'll go back again.

I would have been so surprised if this wonderful Sis Bakery got a low rating on Yelp or anywhere…read moreelse. This is a must go and check it out type of a bakery. They don't sell any sweet goodies, what they sell is quality Armenian savory goods. I am so surprised at myself that I left this bakery behind and didn't do a review on this hidden gem. Walked in today knowing that they close a little earlier than their usual time and wanted to get everything. This mom n pop place has been around forever and still serving the community nothing but delicious, hot, fresh food. They have Cheese borek, Spinach borek, lahmajune, (Armenian Pizza), potato borek, spicy cheese borek and Ajarski (bread boat filled with cheese, egg or other items which is made to order). 20 minute wait for the Ajarski. The smell of the food automatically welcomes you in. They also have beverages and one of my favorite is Tan. An Armenian yogurt drink. DELICIOUS!! Sounds weird, but it's good! I got a dozen lahmajune the small, compact ones, 2 large, long spicy borek and that was all for today. Give this place a try; and, you will go there at least once or twice a week. Yes, it's that good! Parking is shared with other businesses and they don't have a place to sit. Grab & go orders. Super friendly staff and place is clean.

The woman was somewhat pleasant and the man was not. He didn't even acknowledge that I was there and needed help. Place is small and a lot of customers lined up. Since there is this high demand and hype about their lahmajune (Armenian Pizza), wanted to give it a try and see if it's worth buying. After barely finishing my one lahmajune that I got, I didn't like it. It was too greasy, but the quality of the meat was decent. I got a Fruit Tart from the bakery and 2 Mikados. Both were fresh and delicious! Ambiance of the store needs a good rub and renovation. It's old and attention must be paid!! Got my goodies and left. Prices are reasonable depending what you get. Parking is shared with multiple businesses; and I will stick to the bakeries that I know, like, and am familiar with!!

I was so happy to have come across Lilit Bakery! This was by far one of the best bakeries I've visited in Cali so far! I absolutely love their huge selection. And I really love that their pastries (like croissants and danishes) are served warm! It makes such a difference! I'm telling you, these things are delicious!!! I love love loved every bite. I also ordered a breakfast croissant sandwich as well, and it was absolutely delectable. So soft and flaky, so fresh, so full of flavor! Seriously, the flavors and attention to detail here are incredible at Lilit and I absolutely recommend anyone to check this place out. A must! Service was also speedy and the hospitality was great. The place was also very clean and pleasant in the entire restaurant. Totally worth a visit!

I love their pastries, and the food is consistently fresh and high quality. That's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Unfortunately, during my last visit I witnessed something that really changed the atmosphere. A manager or someone in a higher position was publicly scolding one of the Hispanic employees who has always been kind and professional. It was uncomfortable to watch. No employee deserves to be spoken to with disrespect, especially in front of customers, and especially with inappropriate language so early in the morning. I truly hope the owners remember that treating employees with dignity is just as important as serving great food. People notice these things, and kindness and respect matter.
