The produce options are a bit lackluster. This market has live music and tables w/ shade for people to enjoy their food alone or have a little sit. The craft vendors were really friendly and varied from stickers, specialized bows, candles, accessories, seasons & oils. It's a great place to grab hand made gifts. Biggest perk was the bread vendor selling their offerings at half off since they were done for the day. Oh and tons of parking available! Overall, not a bad a local market.

From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

I thought this shop was going to be good and I expected them to be a few bucks higher so they could make profit, but WWWOOOOWWWW was I wrong. They post photos of there staff with "high amounts" of restock to show that they have alot. The only reason they have alot of because they are selling WAY WAY WAY WAY above MSRP and even beyond that! I was going in to get a Phantasmal Flames ETB. I would normally get them for 55-65 from my other card shop but were sold out. The staff was trying to charge me over 120-140 for 1!!!! That is ridiculous and I see why they have so much in stock. Because no one wants to pay high amounts like that! If you feel like getting ripped off and taken advantage of for your money then go right ahead! But I will definitely never come back here or refer this shop to any of my friends or colleagues. SCALPER HILLS EXOTICS is more like it.

Do not be fooled by my photo LOL. It is indeed NOT FAT. They're very light on the sauces. The dutch bread is fireee asf and honestly the saving grace of this sandwich. Service: 5/10 The staff were pretty timid, but they were nice. They took LONG ASF to make three little sandwiches. Bro, 30+ minutes?? For some sandwiches??? This is coming from someone who's worked food service. They weren't even busy fam. They had like 2-3 dine-in customers that already had their sandwiches and like 2 online orders. Also, some of the tables were dirty. Had to clean ours with a napkin. Ambiance: 6/10 The interior design was pretty nice. It did feel quite empty inside. The arrangement of the tables is pretty sporadic. They could definitely convert the tables into booths with all the space they got, but it seems like they don't get a lot of foot traffic. Parking lot was quite small, but my friends and I had no issues finding a spot. TDLR: Sandwiches aren't worth the price. If you don't care about prices, have at it. I wouldn't come back here purely because our sandwiches took 30+ minutes to come out as dine-in customers. Parking lot is small but found no problem finding a spot.

It felt family owned, super cozy, and the service was genuinely amazing from start to finish. We definitely over ordered (everything sounded too good ), but honestly... no regrets. Portions are huge and perfect for sharing, especially the soups...they were rich, flavorful, and came loaded with so many ingredients. Every dish had depth and tasted authentic, not watered down at all. They also brought out a few extra dishes for us to try, which was such a nice touch and made the experience feel really welcoming. The banchan (side dishes) kept coming and were all fresh and flavorful you can tell they put care into every part of the meal. And the fried rice? Easily one of the best I've had. My absolute favorite was the noodles with the black sauce (I think it's jajangmyeon?) savory, slightly sweet, and so satisfying. Overall, amazing food, generous portions, and standout service. This is the kind of spot you come back to again and again.

Small bakery with selected open dates so be prepared! Service was fantastic and helpful! Super grateful for the allergen information placed on display! Got an assortment of items, tried a few and shared with family and friends. Dubai chewy, Scooping Scone in Chestnut Espresso, Lemon Pound Cake, 3 set mini dacquoise, Choco Banana Clairoise, & Carmel and Dark Chocolate Madeleine. All these items were enjoyed and biggest takeaways was how soft and not overly sweet each was! the ones i tried: - scooping scone 3/5, love the concept, flavor wasn't for me BUT i will be trying strawberry next -lemon pound cake: 4/5 love a lemon anything, flavor was delicious, personally not a fan of jelly candies. - salted caramel madeleine: 5/5 soft, not super sweet and a perfect coffee companion. - dacquoise: 4/5 soft and cream was amazing. I felt like mine tasted like lychee (white middle one) but i can't remember the exact flavor i was told. yummy tho

The sambal chili aioli was a sleeper - it packed in a ton of unexpected spice. Deliciously unexpected. The thick toasted brioche bun also added a layer of sweetness. We ordered the turkey BLT because it was a special. It was, of course, delish, but I should have kept to the tried and trues. I'll definitely be back. Also PSA and order your sandwiches for pickup. We waited for quite a bit in the heat even though we visited at an off hour (on a Sunday). Also, there's a nearby park closer to Uptown you can enjoy your sandwiches.

Keep in mind I ordered around 12:50pm and the sandwich was ready at 1:45pm. I ordered the Spicy Gabagool Sandwich, and there were barely any mixed greens as compared to other reviews & the menu photo (I love my veggies)! The meats were yummy, but they did not stand out to me/didn't taste anything special. Unfortunately, the same goes for the bread. However, I did like the packaging of the sandwich and everything in the sandwich tasted well together; the chile spread, burrata, hot honey, pickled onions, meats.. the spice level is definitely tolerable; I didn't need water at all. It was more of a small kick. I also tried their lemon crumb bar and it was very delicious! If anything I would come again to try more of their unique baked goods. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance of the shop. It is quite small and there are many people waiting for their order inside. There is only outdoor seating, which is scarce.
