Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I were considering our options for where to have brunch to celebrate one of our friend's retirement. Toast was one of the names I dropped in the metaphorical hat, and it won the vote of a few. My friends were surprised that I had named a spot I hadn't yet tried since I'm usually the "foodie" of the group. However, another girl in the group who had been here before vouched for it. I'm glad I finally got to try this place this past weekend, and I cannot wait to return! There were so many things on their menu that I wanted to try. A couple of the ladies ordered green chilaquiles, the friend we were celebrating ordered the Spanish Omelet, another woman I'd met that day had the bacon and eggs, another one ordered the Biscuits and grave with a side of bacon that looked perfectly crispy. I wish I had taken pictures of the plates as it all looked so lovely! I didn't even take a picture of my own food haha. I had my eyes on an omelet, one of the Benedicts or the Chicken n Waffle. In the end, the chicken and waffle won. It comes served with a little container of maple syrup with bacon pieces. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle was delicious, though I did request for some extra syrup on the side. To drink, a few ladies ordered mimosas, one ordered an iced caramel coffee, and I ordered the Carajillo. I fell in love with this drink last summer in Mexico and do not often see it on the menu. I love the subtle citrus notes the Licor 43 adds to this espresso drink. It is very similar to an espresso martini, and theirs comes topped with a toasted marshmallow. I honestly wanted to try almost every item in their Tipsy Barista section of their drinks. I'll just have to come back that many more times :) Plenty of parking in the mall lot. It does get pretty packed during peak hours. Fortunately I had called ahead to put our group of 6 down. We went in on Saturday around 11:30. It slowed down a bit while we were eating, but started to get busy again after 1. Otherwise, we might have been forced to honor their 90-minute rule. All in all, a great experience from everyone in our group. No complaints on the wait, service or food. That certainly deserves a toast. Great job, Toast!

But if you have the budget and want to treat yourself to a nice brunch, I'd 100% recommend giving this place a try. Great food, great drinks, excellent service, and an awesome brunch atmosphere. Definitely made my birthday feel special!

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. Gabby and the entire Island Bodega team, please know that you're making a real difference in the lives of your customers. Your dedication to serving delicious food and creating a welcoming atmosphere is truly appreciate. I'll be back for more- and I'll bring friend ! read more

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

First thing you'll notice is the lit up turtle on the wall and window which is a nice touch for pics. They had ENDLESS amount of toppings and drizzles condiments, I've had a couple of acai bowls in Hawaii but having it closer to home less than 3 miles is a kudo! The staff was super friendly and outgoing! You can try samples if you're not familiar which I recommend doing for first timers! Menu is super easy and pricing is on point.

Island Bodega is a great spot, especially for those who love açaí bowls--even if you're not typically a fan, this place might change your mind. Their portions are generous, giving you good value for your money. The ambiance inside is inviting, with plenty of seating options, making it a nice spot to relax. The staff is super friendly and always ready to offer helpful recommendations. The only downside is that the parking lot, while large, can get crowded during peak times like nights and weekends. Also, their mobile app could use some improvements--it doesn't always allow me to scan my receipts for points, which is a bit frustrating. Overall, a solid experience with just a couple of areas for improvement. read more

When I asked for my two cronuts, he tried to bump me up to a 4 pack. My buddy Will-power stepped up and said no, two is enough. 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.

All the 5 stars had me craving this place... and It was just okay. I didn't realize that the…read moresandwich would come warm. So I was definitely disappointed, all my veggies were soggy and oily from the heat and cheese. Not sure what type of meat they use but it tased cheap... I'm sorry but it did. Let just say I didn't eat my sandwich. I ordered the ham and turkey sandwich. I also ordered a smoothie, the California which was very good I really enjoyed that! Loved the apple and lime combo a lot. The gentleman who took my order was nice, the place is tiny but efficient for a sandwich place. I do feel that they should maybe not warm up your veggies with the sandwich or ask if you'd like it cold or warm before hand. I'll be back for another smoothie for sure, I'd give that a 5 star review for sure and I'd like to try their soup.

They utilize Herbalife powder mixes for most of their products. Having the 25% off promo, I was looking forward to grabbing something to refresh with after recycling. Mazapan w/ Post Workout upgrade (whey & casein blend, l-glutamine, iron, BCAA's) - Containing a whopping 36 grams of protein, and not so bad 15 grams of sugar, the stevia - sweetened Mazapan was cool, creamy & a tad sweet to satiate the sweet tooth. A generous size, I greatly enjoyed each sip, knowing my old muscles will be powered by a protein boost. Service was good. I asked for recommendations for more savory shakes, and wasn't steered wrong. The small store has a couch & a few tables to dine at. Wait was minimal, as I was the only customer in line, at the time. Parking is via a shared lot at the EOS Fitness plaza, with Loaded Protein Hub located between Lee's Sandwiches & Pho May. Very good! I was quite happy with my pick being Mazapan, and look forward to coming back & trying one of Loaded Protein Hub's loaded coffee or bowls. Recommend!

I actually prefer their pumpkin flavor profile over the pumpkin drinks I've tried at other places. Their large size is HUMONGOUS, too, so you definitely get a bang for your buck compared to other coffee chains. I didn't feel jittery after which was great. I tried their bacon breakfast burrito which was pretty tasty and filling. I've only ever ordered through the drive-thru. The staff is always friendly and keeps us posted on timing for our order. It's a close second to my favorite, Dutch Bros--which is conveniently opening a location nearby soon. Competition is getting serious! But for now, Ziggi's iced pumpkin shaken espresso has me coming back.
