    Egg Croissant Sandwich
    Lashelle S.

    Cleanliness: 4.5 out of 5 Service: 5 out of 5 Atmosphere: 5 out of 5 Food: 5 out of 5 My order: Egg croissant sandwich, it came with a side salad, and a caramel macchiato Reflection: Gio's was a pleasant surprise, I had no idea the sandwich would come with a side salad and the French dressing was so delicious. It was a simple meal, served fresh and quickly. If I'm ever in the area again I'll definitely stop by.

    This new location is SO much nicer than the previous one! I had my doubts at first since I'm not a local, but I thought the foot traffic of the old location would be better. Wrong! The new location is right on the main strip, has much brighter seating. Our kids crushed their crepes. Coffee was good to carry me for the long drive home.

    Love the new location! Stopped by here to grab some coffee and pastries. Shant and the team were very kind and friendly in taking our order. We ordered lattes, pastries and grabbed a table outside. As we waited we admired the decor. Not long after everything came out. The coffee was so delicious and the muffins was very soft and not too sweet. This will definitely be my go to place for coffee dates.

    Chicken pesto panini w/ fruit, banana walnut loaf, peach tart, chocolate cookie

    Overall chicken pesto panini (kinda pricey), peach tart and iced matcha were good. Love that they're open early but casual enough not to be a full on sit down diner.

    cannoli, tiramisu, Turkey Breast Sandwich
    Isabella S.

    One of my favorite bakeries! We got 2 lattes, pistachio cannoli, tiramisu, and turkey breast sandwich. Everything was really good! I'm personally not a cannoli fan, but it was amazing. Tiramisu was on the sweeter side for me but I would still get it again. Weirdly enough I really liked the sandwich. Didn't think something so simple would make me so happy but the bread was the right amount of crunchiness and softness. Salad was good, didn't know what dressing it was but tied the entire dish together. Lattes were large and so good! I would definitely come back and order the same! The manager was also super welcoming and sweet. There is plenty of seating indoors and out, perfect for warmer weather to come. Parking is also very easy.

    GIO'S IN LA CAÑADA IS GOOD ========================= Gio's in La Cañada had a soft opening on February 27, 2924, but their official opening day is Friday, March 1, 2024. I'm excited to have a new Gio's in La Canada. Their original location is in Montrose on Ocean View. I'm trying to eat a bit healthier, so it took all my willpower not to order pastries and sandwiches. The first time I visited for their soft opening I ordered a tuna salad and matcha latte and they were both great. My friend and I went today, March 1, 2024 and I ordered a ham and cheese panini with salad and that was delicious. My friend ordered the breakfast veggie baguette and she loved that. Next time I want to try one of their crepes. There is plenty of parking.

    Crème Brûlée  Yum!

    What a delightful place! My tuna melt was delicious. It came with assorted greens and a tasty dressing. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. They have very friendly servers. They have beautiful pastry too. Enjoy!

    Just love their sandwiches. They come with a green leaf salad with a semi spicy dressing. Egg and cheese croissant sandwich is my to go for breakfast. You can add avocado to it too. We also had pastries, fruit pie, apricot turn over, and tiramisu. All very delicious and fresh. Excellent customer service too.

    Bottom Line: Very cute, average and yet somehow still very expensive Being a parent is exhausting and it's tricky to even get away for an afternoon sometimes. Usually for my birthday I try and get away a do something for myself and this year I decided to take a day off of work and go for a motorcycle ride. Up at 4am and bundled up as it was freezing, I left Santa Barbara headed for Angeles Crest as it had been years since I had the chance to see those beautiful mountains. As I was leaving the 118, a nice hot cup of tea and a pasty were calling me. If my poor memory served, there were a few restaurants and bakeries on the strip in La Canada. I spotted Gio's and pulled into the parking lot. The staff were friendly and professional. The place is beautifully laid out and looks very nice inside. The croissants looked good! but tiny! Especially for $5. I asked for one of those and a black tea. I waited patiently behind another customer as he added things to a few different coffees. There is a very small area for this - enough for just one person. There's no honey or agave available, just packets of sweetener.... like a gas station. There was a nice spot outside, so I grabbed a chair and sat down to enjoy a cuppa. The tea was just black tea - nothing out of the ordinary. The croissant came out and I have to say, I was super underwhelmed. For a $5 croissant you would expect it to be at least average sized, but it was small. For $5 you would hope that it would be the most delicious thing you've ever tasted! I can get behind quality not quantity - I didn't want a flat of Croissants from Costco after all. This is just a birthday treat. Unfortunately the Croissant was dry/crispy (burned?) and really just not very good - mostly air. Expensive air, like that Perriair stuff from Spaceballs. It was not warm or buttery, it was just a mess. The total bill including tip was $10 or $12 I believe - for hot water and a small piece of bread without chocolate or any filling. This was a huge bummer. Getting away for even an afternoon for me only happens a few times per year and I was hoping this would be a nice birthday treat and it was like going to a gas station, just twice as much money as I wanted to spend.

I always pair it with their caramel iced latte with oat milk, which is honestly one of my favorites here. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. On top of that, the café is always spotless and has such a comfortable, inviting vibe. If you're looking for a go-to spot with amazing food, great drinks, and genuinely friendly service, this is it. Highly recommend!

    We've been coming to this place for the past 4 years and truly loved it under the previous owners…read more Unfortunately, ever since the new ownership took over, the experience has completely changed and the quality it's not the same at alllll The new owner was extremely rude, unprofessional, and clearly lacks customer service skills. Today, on Mother's Day, we ordered avocado toast and quiche with salad. After waiting nearly 40 minutes, our food finally arrived -- and I was honestly shocked by the portion size and the poor quality of the avocado toast (I'll attach the photo). After politely speaking to the waiter and waiting for assistance, no one came back. I eventually had to go inside myself and speak directly to the owner. Instead of resolving the issue properly, she simply said they couldn't remake it and offered "extra avocado" instead. After waiting another 5 minutes, she told me to go sit outside and they would bring it out. They brought very tiny avocado slices. What should have been a beautiful Mother's Day experience was completely ruined. In the end, my husband had to go inside and request a refund. We are beyond disappointed and will never return. Customers deserve kindness, respect, and proper service -- and sadly this place no longer offers any of that. Avoid this place if you value good service and being treated with respect.

We did…read morenot have reservations as it was last minute but the owner was so nice and she was able to squeeze us in. We were so lucky they were able to accommodate us so last minute. So I definitely recommend getting a reservation on the weekend. I'm so glad we were able to experience such a cozy and charming place! My expectations were exceeded and here's why: Atmosphere: Walking in you feel like you're stepping into a cute cottage with chandeliers, vintage chairs, and it's definitely giving Bridgerton vibes. We were only able to see the inside but I was told they have a garden outside. It is a bit smaller on the inside but maybe it's because there were so many people. Very quaint but so cute and the decor was so intentional. There was even a chandelier with tiny tea cups on it and a wall full of tea. Food: The food was so fresh! The scones were warm and tasted like they were just baked. They do have vegetarian options which was great because not a lot of places have that. The sandwiches were so good! They threw in a few extra as a courtesy. The fruit was refreshing and the desserts were rich! There was a variety of selection for desserts. Tea: WOW BEST TEA OF MY LIFE. The tea here was out of this world! I've never had tea like this in my entire life. I wish I was exaggerating. I'm going to be dreaming about this tea. I tried the Peach Rooibos and it was the best tea I've ever had. They even have a huge machine for the tea it was impressive. My mom tried the Vanilla Coconut and she said it delicious! And she's not too much of a tea person but she kept serving herself 3-4 times and said she wanted to take the tea home with her. Service: 10000/10 stars. The owner is such a sweet and classy woman who made us feel so welcome. It was like talking to someone you've known for ages. She made so much effort to talk to us and serve us tea. She even offered to take photos for us without us asking. Super sweet of her! And the other lovely woman serving us was delightful. She kept asking if everything was good or alright. She asked if we were all happy with everything. Despite being so busy with a bachelorette and baby shower party going on they came to check on us multiple times. These two women truly went above and beyond and you can tell they take pride in what they do. Overall we loved this place and will definitely come back! Thank you for such a fun experience!

The menu has a large variation of teas, including my favorite butterscotch--a rich buttery tea with notes of vanilla. Each tea is served in vintage porcelain cups. Our delicate tea sandwiches along with our honey served in a unique sparkling glass container were perfection. I also loved that the portions were very generous. I was joined by my friend Roxy, who was dressed so beautifully and is always so sweet and considerate and wonderful company, which made the entire afternoon a wonderful memorable experience.
