The muffins here are really amazing, coffee too! It is also I a cup evening location off Ocean View and Honolulu!

I love gio's; it's a nice cozy spot with great food options as well as good coffee. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a European vibe.

wow! what a feast for your eyes and your stomach! The pastries are off the chart and improved only by an amazing latte!

Delicious sandwiches! Everything is amazing here. Service is very good. Pastries are authentic. read more

This is more of an Armenian rather a Parisian bakery. The "almond croissant" was not a traditional croissant, more of a pastry. The zaatar croissant my friend had was a bit dry. Nice ambiance and friendly service. read more

I have enjoyed the paninis, sandwiches and pastries from the La crescenta location for some time, but it has become increasingly more frustrating ordering food from them after 4pm. I already find the operating hours inconvenient, but within the past year it's become almost impossible to order food after 4 because they close their kitchen so early. I understand that it's a cafe, but why serve sandwiches when you close your kitchen so early? I thought they would become a little more accommodating to the customers since Paris Baguette opened across the street, but it seems they're even less interested in retaining customers. read more

I only came in for a coffee and realized it was a restaurant and bakery. The baked goods looked pretty good and the menu items sounded pretty good. The coffee was decent but I would go back to try the food items. There was quick service and kind of a full restaurant of people, also with outdoor seating. read more

Cute, clean spot with friendly staff. Tried their matcha latte which was good and reasonably priced

Great spot to come in and grab a treat or early breakfast. I occasionally dine in during Wednesday mornings because of my Banking Day schedule at school with my bestfriend. I always get the Chocolate Criossant and it's a staple. I also order a fun coffee or matcha on the side that compliments the pastry. Sometimes I order food for school like a chocolate chip cookie and it adds better qualities to my day. The workers are very respected and have small conversations with my party. The store has multiple seating areas, offering outside and inside. Would recommend :)) read more

My go to place for lunch, coffee, and baked goods. They have a small dining area inside or you could enjoy outdoor seating in their front patio. No matter the time of day, this place is always bustling with people. As a local, its nice to have a go-to coffee shop with yummy food and drinks, decent prices, and friendly staff. Please support family-owned, local businesses like Gio's! And if you dont know already, they have surprise bags for sale on the Too Good To Go app. read more

This is beautiful gem in Montrose! I tried this bakery today and the quality rivals the fancy French bakery I go to weekly in DTLA. The people working there are fast and efficient. There's seating inside and outside and is beautiful, especially for weekend brunch. read more

Love Gio's! Have been going there since they first opened. Beautiful and delicious pastries, muffins and breads. Try the white chocolate raspberry muffin and the zaatar croissant. We like to get an assortment of their mini desserts for birthday and other celebrations. Delicious lattes, I recommend iced hazelnut with oat milk. Do not leave without taking home their amazing baguette. Always great and friendly service too. read more

Excellent coffee coupled to wonderful pastries plus excellent service in a clean eating area comparable to a Paris, France patisserie. Go there and order a latte, drink it there and it gets served to you in a porcelain cup (take that Starbucks). Add to that order a spinach/feta croissant and the I guarantee you will leave with a BIG smile on your face. Actually all of their pastries are top shelf delicious. Gio's - there is no other. read more

Yummy, delicious food,great service ,family oriented environment.congratulation on the new spot in la Canada area

Gio's Bakery & Café is a small Parisian style cafe and bakery that serve pastries, breads, crepes, and sandwiches as well as coffee/tea. Indoor decor and atmosphere were cute and relaxing, respectively. Outdoor patio with street view was spacious. I came to try a light dessert and iced coffee. Tiramisu was tasty, soft and delightful. However, my iced coffee was banal and mediocre in quality; I had to give it away after two small sips. Service was inconsistent. Customer service was just okay; female server was nice and polite. Overall, I liked their Tiramisu but abhor their iced coffee. read more

My missus and I came here for a Caprice sandwich and Nutella and strawberry crepe. Both were awesome. The French themed cafe really added to the experience. We really enjoyed it. We'll be back. read more

I cannot rave about the service and hospitality of this restaurant/bakery. This is a family owned establishment and I always love family owned businesses because they take extra care in their goods to ensure freshness and quality. I've been a customer of Gio's since they opened in Montrose and now at their second location in La Canada . The food is amazing and their baked goods are oh so fresh. Their croissants are flaky and buttery and I've literally tried all their muffins... so good. They make a cappuccino and latte just right! I love the little Parisian style seating, the vibe is really cafe Paris on the go. read more

Everything is just fantastic about this place! The lovely outdoor seatings where you can people watch, rich tasty cappuccinos, delicious pastries, mellow music on patio where you can enjoy coffee, read book and relax, delicious salads and sandwiches and bowls. Just a note: the staff should have a little smile on their face and be a bit more friendly! They all look very angry and sad and grumpy, specially the young short petit girl. Also if you are charging 3% for credit card payment and prefer cash only payment please have some cash in your register so you can give back changes. Otherwise, love this place and I'm here at least once a week. read more

Such a wonderful cafe! Delicious coffee, friendly team members. I love meeting my mentor S here for breakfast. I purchased an assortment of pastries and desserts for our neighbors and they loved everything!!!! Highly recommend. Ample parking too read more

This is a cute spot in La Crescenta. Came here a few times for brunch because my coworker swears by it, but to be honest everything is underwhelming. The prices are steep for what you're getting portion-wise. They don't toast/heat up your pastries for you which is weird. Their coffee is pretty dark roast and I've never been a fan but all I drink are iced americanos. My friends like their cappuccinos and lattes tho! I recommend the Chicken Pesto Panini which comes with a bit of salad and a bit of chips. read more

The food there is very good. I enjoy their pastries and sandwiches but the service is a different story. The girl at the register did not greet us and when I asked for my pastry to go she gave me an attitude and packed it. Even the people behind us went to order and she did not smile once or say hello hi how are you, nothing. It's too bad that customer service doesn't exist there. read more

I promised desert for dinner with the neighbors . Fabulous pastries lovely staff . Delightful !!

My daughter and I have been loyal customers of Gio's for a long time. We've always enjoyed the atmosphere, the coffee, and the pastries at both locations. Unfortunately, our most recent visit to the La Crescenta location was so unpleasant that it has made us reconsider ever coming back. We ordered two hot lattes and two pastries. Instead, we were served two iced lattes. When my daughter politely corrected the mistake, the server took them back with visible attitude. Minutes later, what we received in return was unacceptable -- two cups of steamed milk with hardly any coffee in them. No care, no quality, no effort. From where I sat, it was obvious that the server was irritated and unprofessional while preparing them. This kind of treatment is unacceptable in any café, let alone one that has built a reputation on quality. Customers should not feel like they are a burden for simply ordering coffee. If the employees are unable -- or unwilling -- to provide even the most basic level of service, that reflects directly on management. Afterward, we looked at reviews online and saw that our experience was not unique. Clearly, there is a pattern of poor service at this location. That tells me the problem isn't just one employee -- it's a management issue. We have supported both cafés for years, but this experience was enough to make us question whether Gio's deserves our business anymore. Either address these ongoing issues with training, professionalism, and accountability, or continue to lose loyal customers like us, one after the other. read more

Service is excellent! Food is awesome. Atmosphere is special. Love sitting outside, feels like an Italian cafe. Shared the Mediterranean sandwich which was excellent, along with a apple pastry. This cafe is a must for everyone to try. You won't be disappointed ordering anything off the menu. It's fresh, clean and tasty. Love coming here. Way to go Gio! read more

Everything here is great! I personally love the iced coffee and the feta croissant The service is fast and friendly The place is clean and has nice indoor and out door seating. I always get the marble loaf cake to take home! read more

Very moderate. We went on a saturday afternoon and got the creme brulee, an éclair, and a rasberry tart. All items seemed like they had been sitting out for awhile and not particularly fresh or enjoyable. We frankly have had better quality from grocery store bakeries. read more

We love the service, food, and coffee at Gio's! Highly recommend their crepes and coffee!

The French Baguette is perfect, and you have to try the raspberry or fruit tart. It's not too sweet, unlike the creams of other bakeries. I recently tried their bignets, and they are worth the calories! A plus: the people who work there are nice and thoughtful. read more

Amazing Armenian business! I randomly stopped here to grab coffee and I'm so glad that I did. The fresh smell of baguette hit me right when I walked in. It's super cozy and I love that there were street parking in the front. I ordered a regular coffee, an apricot croissant and a mini fruit tart. I grabbed my # and took a seat. I saw everyone around me enjoying what they had ordered: sandwiches, paninis, salads, crepes. I told myself I have to come back here with my family. Not long after my coffee and treats came out. The apricot croissant was amazing. The custard inside was perfection. The fruit tart was fresh and light. I'll definitely be back here again soon! read more

This is the cutest little bakery in the cutest little town that is Montrose! I was looking for a place to grab coffee before my hair appointment and I'm so glad I walked in here. Their pastry selection was great and they also have a pretty good breakfast menu (which I'll definitely try next time). I ordered the chocolate croissant and latte...the croissant was so flaky and had the perfect amount of chocolate! So yummy! The latte was the perfect combination with my croissant. Definitely coming back here for more! read more

had an excellent lunch at gio's. They were able to make me a really nice oat milk mocha using dark chocolate so I have no problems due to dairy. They also make all their own bread and you can tell when you have one of their sandwiches. I myself had the turkey sandwich It was surprised to find they also make all their own dressings for their salad. I enjoy the meal very much and happened to run into some friends who frequent the restaurant a lot. They used to own a Michelin starred Italian restaurant and they feel this place makes excellent food. And they're right! read more

This was such a beautiful little spot I would definitely come back here This is one of those original spots where everything on the menu is probably good! I had 3 pastries Don't judge me please lol But yea I bought two pastries, and then the owner/manager came and offered a pastry saying it was her favorite! And let me tell you, if you want some of the most tasty pastries you can get in LA for a reasonable price - then this place is the spot! Their pastries will make your mouth water the moment you see them! When you bite into those pastries, it makes you wanna hug whoever cooked them! We got the Nutella croissant - yumm We got the strawberry cheese danish - solid And the "favorite" from the owner - the blueberry cheese danish - OMG!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, The almond milk hazelnut latte I got was perfectly balanced And the ambiance was nice They have a nice front patio that I am sure gets popular in the warmer weather Parking is okay, you'll probably have to pay and walk but it's so worth it Needless to say, the service here was warm and impeccable! Sure I got the free pastry but it was more than that! The first words I heard when I opened the door was "hello, welcome!" It was nothing but warm conversation and easy laughs with the entire staff from that moment on! This is one of those places you go to because the people are kind of It just so happens the food is great too! Anyways that's all for now B read more

I Doordashed this spot and had a Turkey Breast Sandwich and Chicken Pesto Sandwich. They were both amazing (except the bread being a little hard and hurting the roof of my mouth to eat). The portion looks small but it's surprisingly filling. I also tried the latte and it was solid. Not great or bad, and it got the job done. I just wish this cafe was a bit cheaper. read more
