Artelice Patisserie is my favorite dessert shop of all time. The best desserts to get here are the…read moretropical mango and the pistache. I've tried venturing out to try their other stuff, and it's all delicious, but I keep coming back for the mango and pistachio. I like how each pastry you purchase you also get a free macaron. Each dessert is very well executed, with a perfect balance of flavors and textures. And I'm happy to say, they're perfectly sweet, but not too sweet!

I have been on this pastry journey for 6 months trying to find these fruit like pastries. I told my…read moredaughter when I was coming to L.A. to find the best place near her place. She took me here. The place was very clean and tidy with a lot of different types of sweet treats. I was there for one thing only. I did ask the gal working if they were made that day and she said yes. We ordered a raspberry, an orange, a coffee bean and the popular mango. This was my 2nd time trying these and our hopes were high BUT the raspberry was just awful the filling was strange and it had just raspberry jam inside,I dint eat it. The mango was okay so we shared that. The coffee bean was just awful as well so we didn't finish that either. The orange was the best of the group but overall just a disappointing experience once again because these are not cheap. I'm starting to think I might just have to give up my journey to find these although there are some places in Vegas that look promising. I don't think Reno has any bakeries that make these. They look so beautiful but the taste is a let down.

The halo halo at B Sweet tastes like your standard halo halo, so I can't say I was wildly…read moreimpressed... but I can say that ya girl loves to see some Filipino representation, and halo halo on a hot summer day is like the equivalent of finding an oasis in the middle of the dessert. I will also say that the ice in this halo halo was the bane of my existence lol she was solid as a rock and a bit of a pain to "mix mix". Their bread pudding seems to be the more popular item, but we were too full from lunch so we may have to try that out the next time we find ourselves in the area.

While the physical location is small, there's outdoor seating to enjoy our sweets and goodies right away. We ordered the peanut butter chocolate, chocolate chip, chocolate chunk sea salt and walnuts, and cookies and cream. We also ordered the pistachio latte and matcha cream top.

The pistachio latte was yummy with real pistachio pieces sprinkled on top

The concept of the restaurant written on the wall is really cute, and the bright yellow space is fun and inviting. We had already stuffed ourselves on sushi and didn't have much space left for the sweet treat, so we just got one to split (cookie batter won out) but I love that you can basically build your own puff combo. I also love that the filling was cold and just lightly sweet, while the topping on the outside of the puff was a touch sweeter. We thought it was the perfect balance and we both spontaneously landed on the word "refreshing" to describe it. We will definitely be popping back in after Kura next time.

one of my favorite spots in sawtelle to get dessert that isn't too heavy or sweet! i visited on a…read morefriday afternoon, and it was pretty empty - no long lines! there's a self-order kiosk in case the line is too long as well. their coconut puddings were fully stocked, and they have so many options to choose from. my absolute favorites are the strawberry puree and mango puree coconut puddings. i love that the desserts come in reusable glass jars. although it's a more expensive dessert, having a reusable jar to use after is such a plus! melo melo is super clean and has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. if i'm not mistaken, they have free wifi, so it's a great place to get work done while having coconut pudding! there's street parking in front, but there are plenty of parking structures/lots in the area too.

Far exceeded my expectations. Firstly, they saved our…read moredaughter's birthday party by making a cake where-as 3 others places couldn't. We wanted cupcakes in the shape of a number 5. Seems simple right? Ralph's on Bundy said they don't have a decorator. Ralph's on Olympic said their cake machine is broken. Susie Cakes said they couldn't make a cake from cupcakes. Cakes.com took the order and then sent a cancellation email 2 days later. So, going to yelp and seeing so many good reviews for Star Bakery we tried them. Walking in the place doesn't look like much, it's kinda small in front and not fancy. I told them what I wanted and they said "no problem". Really friendly person helping us at the counter and then a really helpful decorator who refined the order via text messages the next day. They gave me a price which I thought was very high but I admit I don't really know what these things should cost. All I know is it was quite a bit more than Cakes.com who cancelled my order via email so I'll never try to use them again. (Or Ralph's for that matter) Here is the best part: The end result not only looked better than I had anticipated but the quality and taste was incredible. Honestly the best tasting cupcakes I've ever had. And it wasn't just me who said how good they were; everyone at the birthday party loved them. The whole experience with Star Bakery was an epic success and I am so delighted they are in my neighborhood. Finally, I should mention Star isn't expensive across the board. They had some beautiful looking tarts in the refrigerated case that were very reasonably priced. They will give you a price for a custom cake up front and if you say yes, be assured it will be a top quality cake.

Cute…read morelittle persian mom/pop bakery with its own parking lot (so convenient for quick pop-ins) There was only 1 person in when I got there, so very attentive service. The owner lady came out to tell me about the flavor of the cakes and pricing. Not overly sweet, but just the right amount. What I got: Tiramisu cake + cookies -- I read the reviews that their cookies were really good, so tried some baklava and 1 other cookie (personally thought it was OK). For my personal taste, thought baklava was too sweet but think this is how it's supposed to be? -- Tiramisu got good reviews from the group; not overly sweet and was with nicely textured ladyfingers (large cost me $55, smaller cakes were $42) -- 3 baklava pieces + 2 cookies = $6 Think it was a tad expensive for what I got? Perhaps on another round of cake buying, would try Susie Cakes in the neighborhood to see what that hype is about! But good to support mom/pop and have some different variety. As I was leaving, lots of other people came in - think this is quite a popular bakery w/ the Persian community

SusieCakes has two types of 4-Cupcake Boxes--one with "Happy Birthday" written on the cupcakes and another with personalized writing. You can choose the cupcake flavors as well.

I'd highly recommend the iced creamy espresso, its the drink I always get and it's delicious. I like it because it's not milky like a latte, it's more coffee tasting with some added creaminess. Their pesto sandwiches are great too! I like supporting this place because it feels more mom and pop than other coffee places, less trendy and more of a home-y vibe. The music isn't too loud which I really appreciate since other shops tend to blast music. The red velvet cookies were tasty, though a little crumbly. My guess is it had been sitting a bit, since the shop isn't usually packed. I haven't tried their other sweets yet, but everything in the case looked delicious. I'll definitely be back to work my way through them and there other food. Highly recommend giving this place a try!
