Welcoming storefront...with service that is 5 star. Wide selection of baked goods...all delish and coffee that is the perfect compliment. It is a must try!!! Many thanks to the owner for a wonderful experience! read more

My friend brought me baguettes, croissants, English muffins, pastries, marble cake, banana nut bread, etc. She had brought me another box of goodies last week & I didn't know which location it was from so I wrote a review on Montrose location. Since she brought me another box but I forgot to sk which location - & don't want to bother her with asking that - so decided to write a review on La Canada location. My friend's husband said their baguettes are his favorite so I'm excited to try them. The marble cake looks like it will go well with coffee. The pastries are flaky & sweet without being overly sweet. They bake fresh daily so evertyhing was soft to touch & you can smell the freshness of their breads. So excited to try another batch of baked goods from Gio's! read more

It's as nice a location as the Montrose Gio. The food is the same quality and consistency which I appreciate. My favorite thing is the cannoli and a close second is the tiramisu. I actually prefer this location over the Montrose because the parking situation is better. read more

Every Friday should try this coffee shop is the best and you gotta have the most incredible people serving you once you tell them your name they will never forget your name soon as you're walking they will walk you with a big smile and say your name I think that's incredible. Don't believe me just go ahead and try it. You will not be disappointed. read more

I can't rate the food, but if it's anything like the service or should I say lack thereof then it SUCKS!!!! The white patrons were greeted and served with a smile, not the same for my husband and I . No eye contact, not greeted and ignored which is why we walked out. I will never support any establishment that doesn't respect my BLACK DOLLAR!!! read more

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. read more

The paninis were great but they forgot the salad for one of my orders. (We ordered 7 items, can't be that hard!) The staff were too busy chatting and made us wait an extra 10 minutes even though our pick up order was sitting right there and we had to ask twice if that was ours.... Lo and behold it was, after we asked again! read more

Stopped here just to see what it was like. Vibes and staff are nice, cute cafe with an option to eat in or outside. Saw they have sourdough bread on the shelf for sale, was happy to see this since the sourdough bread vendor sold out at the Farmers Market. But was a bit disappointed, didn't taste as fresh as I expected especially for $14. They also had the date blacked out when it was baked...unsure why?? Might still come back though and try the food and pastries next time when I'm in the area. read more

Really good series. Fresh and delicious food sandwiches are really yummy really fast service. Love this place going to go back definitely

Had a good experience the first time coming to this location, until the barista made and gave multiple matcha drinks to the woman who was in line after me. Which really pissed me off & just made me not want to go back ever! The Montrose location isn't it either, the almond croissant was overly baked! Lost my business . read more

I've been coming to Gio's (various locations) for 10-15 years, and their quality is so consistent. Their Breakfast Croissant has been its same tasty self. Their coffee is nice and strong. Recommend! read more

Great sandwiches and beverages. Customer service excellent. My favorite cafe locally.

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. read more

I ordered my food 45min ago and it's still not here and when I got my food it was so cold

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I popped into Geo's Cafe in La Cañada after running an errand next door and decided to try a couple of their desserts. This was just an initial visit, so I kept it light with a lemon bar and a mini pistachio cannoli. The lemon bar was bright, citrusy, and super fresh. I couldn't quite figure out if the filling leaned more custard or gelatin, but the flavor was solid. I spoke with someone who worked there named Shant, who was really friendly and eager to share that the lemon bars are made from scratch. That kind of care definitely shows in the freshness, and it helped me understand the slightly higher price point. The crust was baked well but had a bit of a bitter, flour aftertaste that didn't fully land for me, though. The mini pistachio cannoli was the highlight. I actually prefer smaller bites like this over full-sized versions. The shell was crisp, the filling was smooth, and the chopped pistachios added a perfect bit of crunch and nuttiness. For under 3 bucks, it was easily worth it. They also offer sandwiches, breads, and other items I didn't get to try yet, but the space had a good vibe and the staff was welcoming. I definitely plan to come back and try more from the menu. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

Definitely worth checking it out if you are in the area. read more

There's nothing short of good that you can purchase from here. I've been to both locations, the one in Montrose as well, and I'm always amazed at how delicious and fresh everything is. Of course, I ate and drank whatever I ordered before taking a picture because I couldn't help it. I tried the strawberry danish and it was one of the best I've ever had. Every bite was properly balanced -- from the strawberries-- to the cheese, to the crunch. I ordered their iced vanilla latte, which comes so close to Alfred's world famous vanilla latte, for basically half the price. Although I did not get pictures of what I actually ordered and frankly, inhaled, I did get a photo of the aesthetically pleasing options you can pick from the next time you're there! read more

Customer service was fine. The coffee/tea was decent. Got a pastry and 2 sandwiches. For being a bakery, their bread was very underwhelming.

Wow! I stopped by to try Gio's in La Canada and they surpassed my expectations. A few friends told me to try this bakery and I was not disappointed. Their Coffee is delicious and the sandwiches were amazing. The bread was so fresh. The pastries I tried were heavenly.

I can't wait to come back again and try more goodies. read more

If you'd like a flaky, buttery, freshly baked croissant , I'd suggest going to the French bakery inside Gelsons. The staff are very friendly here, but after three visits, I'm afraid the sub par croissants don't warrant another visit. The location in montrose is worth the five stars based solely on the tiramisu and coffee read more
