Sending all the XOXO to XRO! These churros are honestly out of this world ADDICTING! I first had…read morethem at my cousin's birthday party, where these were catered. The crowd went NUTS for these inhaling them like no other. I was skeptical at first myself because I'm usually not impressed by churros, but these are delicately delicious, not too sweet or dense. Literally, I ate these like chips. So after a trip to Six Flags, I HAD to make a stop over here since I'm usually not in Santa Clarita. Boy oh boy was I was excited for the full menu! I grabbed the soft serve and two churros, which was the perfect night cap to an extremely hot day. Soft serve itself is decent, and it perfectly washed down the cinnamon sugar from the churros. Dare I say, this combo may be better than cookies and milk. I also grabbed a bag of 8 to go, which honestly was a good price! The store itself is a squeeze, but they have tables both in and outside in front of the store. Also may I mention that restrooms are A1 CLEAN! Great job staff lol. Service is quick, and even with the business, I got my order pretty fast. There's plenty of street parking here available as well as a free parking structure attached to the complex XRO is in (2 hrs max). XRO is absolutely churro-ffic!!

I truly enjoyed the ube, mango, and cheese ensaymadas…read more I have had the pleasure of sampling ensaymadas from many Filipino bakeries. My parents, in fact, owned the very first Filipino store with a Filipino bakery in National City. Their former baker now operates several bakeries across the United States. As such, I am quite familiar with discerning between a dry ensaymada and one that is delightfully fresh. Two of the three ensaymadas I sampled were wonderfully soft and fluffy. The third was acceptable, though it was noticeably drier than the other two. I appreciated the distinct flavors, and I will certainly keep The Ensaymada Project in mind for future potlucks. Their minimada offerings would make for a unique and pleasant treat to share.

We are always greeted as soon as we walk in and if the owner is there, he makes sure to say hello. The people who work there are very helpful and the service is top notch. Sample tastes are always welcome and I have founds some nice surprises when trying some of the more non traditional flavors. I tried the Ashta geleto and found that it was quite nice. One of my favorite things to get here is the Espresso frozen drink in the dispenser on the right. Not sure what it's called but it's delicious! I'm sure everyone in SCV knows about this place by now, it's that good. If now hurry up and try it! It's open late, and also has many savory menu items, if you want to grab a bite with your gelato treat!

I wanted to buy a pint, but they don't sell pints, so the server made up a pint using a bunch of scoops in a to-go container. I also got a sample of the Dubai chocolate strawberry, which was delish. Gelati kind of far from my house, but I will make the effort to stop by again. It is a little pricy, but worth it for an occational treat.

We ordered a dozen, which was pretty pricey, but they offered such an interesting variety of flavors, including matcha, lavender, Earl Grey, rose, and red velvet. Each one was delicious, delightful, and full of flavor. The shop had a charming French-inspired vibe--no French speakers, lol, but the ambiance was still cute and inviting. The cashier was also very nice and welcoming. We'll definitely be back whenever we're in the mood for more of these magical little treats!

Wow what a great find. This lovely eatery is in Stevenson Ranch near the Ralphs Market. There is…read moreplenty of parking. The staff greeted us when we walked in. As you can see by all my pictures they have so much to offer. I took my time to familiarize myself with the self-service and studied all the different French-Korean inspired pastries etc. They also have a large case filled with cakes and more. Take some time and look at all my pictures. My favorite was the chocolate almond croissant. I also am a fan of milk bread, very simple light fluffy bread split in half filled with buttercream that is more creamy than sweet. Simple, but I loved it. The cakes looked wonderful! We tried a small tiramisu. It was good but mostly cream. I would not get it again. Maybe the large tiramisu cakes have more ladyfingers and coffee etc. Speaking of coffee. I was not thrilled with the lavendar latte I ordered. The espresso was weak, I even ordered a large hot latte and asked for half a pump as I do not like it too sweet. The sweetness was fine but the coffee was sad. We will be back to try some items we are not familiar with just for something different.

Pretty much anything you get is going to be indulgent (and likely shareable.) It's a small storefront that is always clean. It takes a while for what you order to be created because they do exactly that...create it...each item is individually prepared, so even if it appears not crowded, it's likely to take a little while before you get what you ordered. I've been in a few times and I've always enjoyed what I've selected. I wonder if the staff is happy working there though as it seems like a lot of work and they never seem to be particularly happy to be there.

I shared an order of four cookies with my family, and we all agreed they were overwhelmingly sweet. The richness was a bit overwhelming so if you plan to share, like I did, then I'd recommend splitting between 2 cookies. We didnt finish ours, even on the 2nd day. But I will commend the cookies for still being soft the next day. We also brought home the stuffed chocolate chip, the brookie, and the reverse. I had been hoping to try the blueberry cheesecake and peanut butter crunch, but they must be popular and since I went about an hour and a half before closing, they were already sold out. This spot is located in a plaza with plenty of parking and there was music going on in their outside amphitheater. Definitely can be a nice spot to get something sweet and, if you're in the mood, to explore some nearby shops too.

I felt rushed as I was looking through the pastries, and didn't enjoy the little bit of time I was here. I felt like I didn't belong, not welcoming at all. I forgot to mention that there was a fly on their displayed pastries which are the ones they sell.

It's always crowded and they have closed early due to being sold out. It is an outstanding bakery and the service is adequate. It is not a "hangout" as it is small and more conducive to short get out and go vibe for me. It's funny because Starbucks has that lingering atmosphere vibe but can't touch the caliber of amazing food and coffee you find here! It's a reminds me also of 85 degrees, yet the food is much better. One of the few bakeries worth going out of your way for.

So quickly ordered the small Halo Halo and leche Ube Flan Cupcake and also gave her 20% tip because I felt bad. I have no idea why though. Halo Halo very tasty, but I'm glad there is a Cafe 86 near my house in the West Valley so I don't have to suffer the evil eye at the Santa Clarita location. However, I will go back to Pizza Di Marco in a heartbeat.

Definitely a place worth stopping by when you're in the mood for something sweet, and I'll be back to try more of their ube creations.

The drink itself wasn't my favorite to be honest. It was super nutty and grainy. There is an upstairs to do work/play games with some seating and couches. The service was so friendly, it makes me want to return to try other things! Also psa I went on a weekday and parking was very hard to find.

I ordered a small coffee chocolate chip on a sugar cone, while my partner ordered a small vanilla on a waffle cone. The employee was quick, and accurate with our order. For both ice creams, the subtotal was $13.20. It's important to keep in mind a "small" is really like three scoops here. The quality of the ice cream is perfect. Not too creamy, not too icy. Specifically, the coffee flavor has great strength and there's a plentiful amount of chocolate chips as well. They are definitely not skimping anywhere. I've also had the banana cream pie, and that is my second favorite. Sometimes if my sweet tooth is screaming, I'll get a medium and get those two flavors. As we were finishing up, the line started forming and they had to open up another window to serve customers while we were waiting for our ice cream. It's great to see the attentiveness of the employees there. Overall this is perfect to end a summer night, winter night, or even a date night! I can never say no to stopping by Handel's!
