Tried both rolls and overall they were really good. The Missy one was definitely my favorite -- the…read morestrawberry topping and crumble added a lot of flavor and texture, and everything worked really well together without being overly sweet. It felt balanced and had something exciting in every bite. The Punisher was still solid and had that classic warm, soft cinnamon roll flavor with plenty of icing, but compared to the Missy it felt like it was missing a little something extra. Maybe a stronger cinnamon flavor, more filling, or an additional topping to give it the same "wow" factor. Still enjoyable, just not as memorable next to the Missy. Overall, both were fresh, soft, and worth trying, but the Missy stood out as the clear winner for me.

I gotta say, donut shops open early for a reason. Bakeries open early for a reason. 4:00 AM isn't uncommon. I can't even think of an occasion where I'd be starting to think about a cinnamon roll after 10:00 AM. I guess the stars just aren't aligned for my patronage. Kinda bummed.

$11.00 for two scoops of the banana pudding (bar) is pretty outrageous. It comes in a little cup…read more Just out of principle I wouldnt pay that again. It is good though. They're prices are just too high. $5.00 for a cookie? One pastry $6.50. I would go more often if they we're less expensive. The place is really nice and the decor is awesome, looks great. Im assuming because of the location, the rent is probably high, so they have to charge higher prices. They need a gimmick thats brings in consistent business like the soup and salad at the OLIVE GARDEN or the 3 FOR ME from CHILIS. Banan pudding cant be that much to make, they should use that as their gimmick, sell it cheap, then more people would come for other things. I for sure would get it all the time if it was cheaper. Hard to justify $11 for pudding when RALPHS across the street you can get an entire cake for that price.

I loved…read morethe banana pudding I got with my friend (I believe it was the Oreo one and my friend did a build your own). It was super delicious but too much to eat in one sitting. They have special drinks along with other things you can order like a combo sandwich, drink and cookie. The outside is pretty as well. The employees are super nice and helpful too I love this place! Definitely worth trying!

Highly recommend.

I've been to Artelice's Burbank location before and got hooked on their croissants a while back, so…read morethis time I finally tried their Studio City location which is way closer for us and honestly such a great experience. I will say parking can be a little tricky, but if you know Ventura Blvd then you already know the move is parking in the residential streets behind for free parking. The bakery itself is small, bright, and super inviting. The second you walk in, your eyes immediately go to the pastry display because there are SO many beautiful options. Honestly it's almost overwhelming in the best way possible because everything looks incredible. This visit I was on a mission to finally try their realistic fruit cakes and OMG. These are genuinely some of the prettiest desserts I've ever seen. The amount of detail on the outside is insane -- they literally look like real fruit. They're almost too pretty to eat. I tried the mango, raspberry, coffee (tiramisu), and pistachio and every single one was to die for. The inside of each cake matched the flavor perfectly and tasted just as beautiful as they looked. The mango was probably my favorite and I can see why it's their most popular. It had actual fresh mango pieces inside and was so fresh, creamy, and flavorful. I seriously cannot rave about these enough. I believe they were around $12 each and honestly worth every dollar for both the quality and presentation. Such a fun treat and honestly the perfect dessert to bring as a gift for literally any occasion. I already can't wait to go back. The staff was limited I think like 2 at front but they're so knowledgeable about everything and so patient while it took me forever to decide which I wanted!

It's a very small lot so if we come at any other time, I probably would just park on the street (meter parking). We ordered the breakfast sandwich as I saw it came highly recommended and ordered it with turkey bacon and cheddar cheese on a ciabatta bread. The other options was a croissant or their house made Portuguese bread, which she said was a tad sweet. It was probably one of the best sandwiches I had!! The bread was perfectly toasted, with melty cheese and a generous amount of eggs and turkey bacon! We also got the scramble with spinach, mushrooms, and linguica (spicy sausage...they have mild as well). Nothing super special, but it was a delicious scramble and it hit the spot! We met the owner, who was very sweet. She told us they opened in 2005, with just the bakery portion and in 2010, expanded into the restaurant. They have a very cute outdoor patio with plants around. We opted to sit inside since it was a little chilly and love the ambiance there as well. They serve their entire breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu ALL DAY! We'll definitely be back!

During my visit, I met the owner and his son, who were both very friendly and welcoming. The real stars of my visit were the pastries, breads, and desserts. Wow!! Every single item in the display cases looks AMAZING! I had no intention of walking out with more than a cookie and a bottle of water. I couldn't help myself and walked out with four different types of croissants, two baguettes, and eight other types of bread and pastries. I can honestly say that the cheese and jalapeno croissant I had was one of the best I had ever eaten. I had another pastry while I was there with the same results. I definitely became a fan of this fully stocked, well-organized, and amazing bakery

Unfortunately it was raining that day but they had a little outside space that seemed like it would be really cute to hang out on a nice day. The inside is a lot tinier, but all still really cute. Spoke to the staff about some of their best sellers and ended up trying the ube upside down pie, banana Nutella bread, lady's grey Créme caramel, and the classic vanilla Créme caramel.. can safely say all were delicious! The ube upside down pie was definitely the winner though. Brought some home to the family and it was the crowd favorite! The flans/Créme caramels were also really delicious. For the banana pudding, it doesn't seem like your traditional banana pudding, but still really good! Will definitely be back and love supporting small unique businesses. Thank you Créme caramel!

While the flavor variety is awesome and they don't skimp on fillings, man are these cakes typically dry and a little dense. Had the tropical coconut pineapple cake for a friend's retirement party in December and while the price of a small cake is steep, it was very good. I was impressed! Another friend and I debated what the best berry and cream cake was. I said WholeFoods. She said SusieCakes. We taste tested. We both stood our ground on our opinions. Last weekend,I had the strawberry cake at a birthday party and it was very dry and dense. And the baby's "smash cake" never really got any deeper than the frosting layer, which leads me to believe it was also dense. While I was doing my friend the favor of picking up said birthday cakes, I noticed the pineapple coconut was back in season, so I came to SusieCakes the next day to get a slice. Very friendly staff! But very dry cake. So disappointing after paying ten dollars for a slice. Overall, the vibes are always good. The flavors are great. But the texture is just not it.

The guy that sold it to me had no clue what a Spinn was and therefore didn't tell me to adjust my settings. What surprised me was that none of these guys (yes, they are all guys there which is odd) had any knowledge of the brand Spinn. When selling premium coffee at premium prices, I'd expect at least a working knowledge of the major high-end coffee makers your customers are using. When I brought the issue up, I asked if they could at least offer a complimentary coffee for the inconvenience, but they refused to do anything. Disappointing experience overall. Expensive coffee without the expertise or customer service to match.
