I came around 1:30pm on a Saturday, and thankfully we were able to snag a seat right after we ordered. By that time, a lot of their savory pastries had run out-most of what was left were things like cookies and plain scones. They also have a refrigerated display case with things like cakes and basque cheesecake if that's up your alley. I ordered their cinnamon double matcha off their seasonal menu. It was a matcha latte topped with cinnamon cream, and I got it half sweet. The drink was delicious! I never really thought to combine matcha and cinnamon, but this flavor pairing worked surprisingly well. Their cinnamon cream was balanced in sweetness and spice. The matcha latte itself had a good matcha powder to milk ratio. It wasn't the strongest matcha I've had, but it also didn't taste like mostly milk, either. When the cafe is full, it gets pretty loud, and the sounds reverberate throughout the small space. However, it's pretty chill when there's less people. Service is also fast. I love that there's also a restroom across the back hall. I'm curious about their pastries and other menu items.

We purchased 2 items and when we received and opened the bag it wasn't the one we ordered so I came to the lady and said it was not the right item then she insisted it was that Nutella something which I'm pretty sure is not the one as there's a signage that would say that product right infront of each scones. So to make it easier I pointed the right item to her and now she got a clarity that they had the wrong signage placed and she then go switched on these product labels. She immediately went to the counter and just started to transact again I guess ring in the right amount and void the first one. Again, without even letting me know but fine whatever. I guess it's okay that it was switched but customer service wise, not a single apology or acknowledgement that it was switched and they had it wrong in the beginning. I don't know maybe she's new?

I'm glad this place opened up in my hometown. Cerritos was definitely lacking an açaí place and Island Bodega fills the void. You can't go wrong customizing your own bowl with unlimited toppings for free! The small is $7 and is worth it. They pack your bowl with whatever bases you'd like from acai, pitaya, blue island, matcha, and coconut cream. I got the açaí and blue island and excited to try the other flavors next time. They sure don't skimp on the toppings here and you can get as many toppings as you'd like. When I went here one girl got literally everything and the guy Jeff made the bowl look so aesthetic. There's another girl here too that is super patient and has the best customer service she's Asian with glasses. Parking here is a little easier to find since it's on the corner lot so you can utilize Aldis parking or behind the building. Don't forget to try their island bodega latte iced. It's def my top 3 coffees of all time. It just blends in together so smoothly and I can't find this flavor anywhere else! I'm definitely going to frequent Island Bodega when I can cause it makes a good meal replacement for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. But today it was my dessert! P.S they got the best blue chia seed pudding ever. I can eat that by itself. read more

Island Bodega is an absolute must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in something both sweet and satisfying. The ambiance is inviting with a clean, open-concept design, where all the açaí ingredients are clearly displayed, making it easy to order. The staff is friendly and helpful, even allowing you to sample the bases of the bowls before making your choice. The variety here is fantastic. You can layer different flavors to create your perfect bowl. My personal favorite is the coconut cream and mango base--rich, refreshing, and just right! The chocolate and vanilla chia pudding options are also excellent, adding a unique twist to your bowl. The fruit choices are top-notch, with options like banana, strawberry, and kiwi. The toppings are where Island Bodega really shines, offering everything from hemp granola, toasted coconut, and cashews to bee pollen, pumpkin seeds, and cashew butter. The combinations are endless, and they're all so delicious--seriously, so bomb! The space is cozy, with about 3-4 high top tables, which adds to its charm. If you looking for something sweet with fresh ingredients this is the place. I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

Island Bodega, you've stolen my heart! I'm obsessed with your açaí bowls, and Gabby, you're the real MVP! The vibrant colors and lively atmosphere drew me in. But it's the food that kept me coming back for more. The Açaí Bowls are a GAME CHANGER- the perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and tangy. I mean who else can make frozen fruit taste like a tropical paradise? But what truly sets Island Bodega apart is the exceptional service. Gabby, your warmth, kindness, and infectious smile make every visit feel like a reunion. You take the time to get to know your customers, offered personalized recommendation, and make sure everyone leaves feeling satisfied and happy. Your passion for the food and the community is palpable, and it's clear that you're exactly where you're meant to be.

I had the most delicious acai bowl ever at Island Bodega. It was so refreshing and totally energizing. I ordered the blue chia bowl, which had acai, matcha, blue chia, banana, strawberry, blueberries, and kiwi. The fruits were super fresh and the toppings were generous. I loved the hemp granola and the cacao nibs that added some crunch and flavor. The bowl was also very filling and satisfying. The customer service was very nice and friendly. They greeted me with a smile and took my order quickly. The shop was clean and cozy, with lots of plants and a good vibe. I enjoyed sitting at the counter and watching them make the bowls. Island Bodega is definitely my new favorite spot for acai bowls. They have a great selection of bases, fruits, and toppings, and you can also create your own bowl if you want. They also have shaved ice, coffee, tea, and other drinks. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves healthy and tasty food. read more

I hope this message finds you well. I have been a regular customer at your location for the past year, but I must express my disappointment with the service and food quality over the last two months. The service has noticeably declined, with employees being unpleasant and lacking basic courtesy. Additionally, my family and I are very dissatisfied with the quality of the bananas you now carry. We strongly prefer fresh, firm bananas, but recently, the only option has been overly ripened ones. Moreover, I've noticed a decline in the portion sizes, particularly with how skimpy the bowls are layered, which leaves us feeling like we're not getting the same value we once did. While I don't intend to return at this point, I wanted to provide this feedback privately, as I believe your business has the potential to please the community once again with some adjustments. read more

Like I said it had been a while since I've come here, but I think I got a little sticker shocked when he said $10.00. I'm glad I did not say yes to the four pack. It might be a while again before I go back and I hope the price doesn't double next time I go back.

"Baby, I Knead your lovin. Got's to have, all your lovin." -…read moreparody of "Baby I need your loving", The Four Tops Fancy donuts, oh my! Knead Donuts, located in the bustling Cerritos Promenade, has been serving artisan donuts in the city for several years, now. I'm not a big donut guy, saving them for a rare treat or when they're offered at an event. Alas, sometimes, you just gotta satisfy that sweet tooth. Strawberry Crunch- Highly enjoyable, topped with a slice of fresh strawberry, the Strawberry Crunch didn't feel as guilty as a double chocolate covered everything donut. The crumbs sprinkled on top providing texture to the fluffy donut, and I was quite happy with my pick. My initial visit was a 2 years ago. On my more recent occasion, I stopped by to see what's new. Knead closes at 1pm on weekdays (Monday closed, till 9pm Sat & Sun), and being approximately 30 minutes to close, two boxes of assorted donuts were left to choose from. Knead's Dubai Chocolate donut was a whopping $8! I tried to haggle the price down, both individually or with another donut, to no avail. No way was I planning to buy a whole box, either. Prices vary around $6-$8. Aware prices have gone up everywhere, that's still too much, in my summation, for donuts. In addition, not being a big donut guy, I don't foresee being a frequent customer. Knead Donuts does sell beautifully crafted donuts, which would satisfy even the most critical sugar junkie, but with premium pricing attached to each donut, can't justify the money spent, for my needs.

This is a rolled ice cream place which is not my typical style of ice cream that I like, so I just shared with my wife. My wife ordered a salted caramel with coffee. The show is the exciting part. They take the cream mixture to the frozen surface and start mixing all the ingredients until it becomes frozen and then they roll it up to little rolled ice cream scrolls. It was very tasty and light. The guy was very nice because usually you can only do one flavor, but my wife sweet talked the guy and he added the coffee to give it the salted caramel coffee ice cream.

I love this place!!…read more The owner she is super sweet and runs the shop alone and I really appreciate and respect her for it! Her bingsoo I the softest most flavorful one I've ever had. It wasn't too sweet the amount of tart strawberry was perfect. The taiyaki was fresh and nearly burned me going down. If you need a nice cold treat this is hard to beat, the only thing is, the shop is in the food court within the super market so it's easy to miss it and it shares seating with the other restaurants. Really a hidden gem and would really recommend checking it out.

What a hidden gem! I accidentally stumbled upon this little dessert shop tucked inside the Korean…read moremarket, and I'm so glad I did. It has a very homemade feel, and everything tasted like it was made with care. The shaved ice was the star of the visit. Unlike the crunchy, icy shaved ice you find at many places, this one was incredibly smooth, creamy, and milky--it practically melted in your mouth. The texture alone makes it worth coming back for. If you're already shopping at the market, definitely take a few extra minutes to stop by for dessert. It's refreshing, satisfying, and one of those hidden spots you almost don't want to tell anyone about. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm craving a soft, creamy shaved ice. They only take cash when I visited.

Milo milk tea: Chocolate malt topped with milo powder, a childhood favorite Just the name made my eyes light up and reminded me of the Milo milk chocolate my mom would make me when I was a kid. Many other flavors and we'll definitely back to try them all! Staff were so friendly and helpful. Thank you Duncan for the recommendations! 10/10 see you again soon Boba Homies!

Gimme the strong stuff, unfiltered!…read more Cafe Palestina recently opened up, wisely adjacent to Cerritos College & across the street from Home Depot (to caffeinate students & laborers, alike). I was feeling low energy, and needed a midday boost. so the stars aligned for my first visit to Cafe Palestina. Iced Turkish Coffee - Grinds swishing in the cup, the iced Turkish coffee lifted my spirits. For an additional 89 cents, I added almond milk to provide creaminess, and I was in caffeinated bliss. Harissa- Coffee always pairs well with a pastry, and the harissa was the perfect accoutrement. Semolina-based, with syrup, pistachios and whatnot, the harissa was a delightful treat, which made me happy. Service was good. The staff were friendly & hospitable, giving recommendations for those new to the cafe. There is a good amount of seating inside. The cafe is long, with tables on each side. There is a soon to be open Cafe Palestina Study Hall, next door. Parking is via a shared private lot. Cafe Palestina is a great coffee & tea shop, which I look forward to becoming a regular. Good vibes, good drinks & good desserts, I'm anticipating what to try next. Highly recommend!

The baristas were a full bar of very kind women who were attentive, gave me recommendations (as it was my first time), and were friendly. I got the pistachio and my parents tried the biscoff. We really really enjoyed them both, my parents also tried the dubai cheesecake. they have plenty of flavors like mango and many many other offerings. they found it very flavorful with a good amount of crunch interacting with the thick rich creamy cheese cake, the pistachio cream and all the layers were nice. we will stop by again for sure - I hope many college students get to come by and use the space too!
