The peach mousse is definitely one of my favorites, and you can't go wrong with the tiramisu or the raspberry cheesecake. The macarons are also fantastic, flavorful, and perfectly made. Not only is everything amazing, but the mousse and many of the other desserts are crafted like works of art. You can tell a lot of care, skill, and attention to detail go into every creation. The pricing is very reasonable and worth every penny. If you're looking for exceptional desserts that taste as good as they look, I highly recommend Erik's Sweet Creations!

This bakery…read moreis so clean, cute, and beautifully presented, and every time I walk in, I find myself admiring the gorgeous selection of pastries and desserts. I'm especially in love with their mousse desserts! During my most recent visit, I tried the Banana and Coffee Bean, and they were both phenomenal. Each one had a delicate, crunchy outer shell with an incredibly soft, creamy, and airy mousse filling inside. The Banana had a fresh banana purée-like filling that added a nice fruity flavor, while the Coffee Bean had a delicious mocha-like center. Beyond tasting amazing, both desserts were absolutely beautiful and almost too pretty to eat! My only wish is that they had a little bit of cake incorporated into them for some additional texture, but that certainly didn't stop me from enjoying them. They also have a great variety of cakes, cookies, macarons, éclairs, and croissants. Everything looked absolutely stunning and heavenly. I could easily spend way too much time here trying to decide what to take home! I also appreciated that the prices were very reasonable, and the staff was polite, welcoming, and helpful. My sister and I actually discovered this spot together while I was visiting her, and it has quickly become one of her new favorites! I'll definitely be back to try more of their beautiful creations.

I have been here twice in the past, but not in a long time. Needed to buy a box of yummy cupcakes for my friend's birthday and wanted few for me and my son. Rubina, the owner being so sweet, kind, nice, and helpful helped me to choose variety of cupcakes for my friend, and also helped me to decide what my cravings were.? I went with like 6 cupcakes of different kind, and they looked AMAZING!! Got Chocolate cupcake, berry cupcake with light frosting on top, & Red Velvet Cupcake for me and my son to share. Their cupcakes are seriously addicting, in the most dangerous way!:-) They are light, fresh, yummy, and full of flavor w/out being too sweet. Simply irresistible. They have a clean shop, cute, quaint, and welcoming. They only make cupcakes. No other types of goodies. Just letting you guys know. They do deliveries and small catering for your occasions. Moderate prices. Plenty of parking shared with numerous businesses and one last thing; go see the owner and she will help you to pick out your favorites!

If you're not crazy about desserts then you need to try their savory pies and quiches, they're…read moreamong the best I have ever had in my life. The chicken pot pie is absolutely perfect, will warm you to the core, and absolutely satisfy you. The quiches all redefined quiche for me, I can't get enough of them. My favorite is the potato leek, the goat cheese blends into these flavors in a way that makes me feel like I'm Remy in that one scene of Ratatouille. I can't believe I walked by this place for 3 years before ever entering, I really wish I was familiar with their game sooner. Stepping in you're greeted by a cozy, rustic ambiance with lots of natural light and plants. Overall, this is a fantastic place to hang out with friends or work remotely for an hour or two.

Parking nearby is challenging; there's very limited metered parking on Magnolia as well as on Lankershim, but I recommend driving to the residential streets behind Republic for free street parking. I've come twice now on weekday afternoons and it's definitely a popular spot both for groups and solo diners! I've never had to wait long and service is efficient and polite! Strawberry Rhubarb Pie 5/5, unexpected hit!! This is surprisingly less sweet and more tart than anticipated and all the while sm better as a result! Blueberry Peach pie 3/5, didn't do it for me, kind of bland, overall v average Matcha latte 3.5/5, average but not bad Banana matcha latte 4/5, enjoyable, but definitely on the sweeter side Coconut matcha latte 4.5/5, this was my goldilocks just right type of drink! the coconut water adds polite hints of sweetness to the matcha which retains its traditionally bitter flavor, would def get this again!

If you like crispy pizza and delicious seasoned meats, you are going to love lahmajoun. It's…read moreliterally bread with meat spread on it and it is absolutely delicious. This is one of those rare dishes that you really won't find outside of LA or Armenia. I've lived in LA on and off for 18 years and it took me this long to try it. It's great here. Crispy and savory together. This place specializes in it. The woman that works there is kind but doesn't speak much English. Don't try and force conversation lol this place is very transactional. The ambiance is super old world. I love it. Feels like you are in a village bakery. Great prices. I also got the sesame one. The flavor is VERY bold on that one, so don't get it unless you are ready to try something your pallet isn't use too. I liked that one, but it was pretty oily and herbaceous. Great place. I'll go back again.

I would have been so surprised if this wonderful Sis Bakery got a low rating on Yelp or anywhere…read moreelse. This is a must go and check it out type of a bakery. They don't sell any sweet goodies, what they sell is quality Armenian savory goods. I am so surprised at myself that I left this bakery behind and didn't do a review on this hidden gem. Walked in today knowing that they close a little earlier than their usual time and wanted to get everything. This mom n pop place has been around forever and still serving the community nothing but delicious, hot, fresh food. They have Cheese borek, Spinach borek, lahmajune, (Armenian Pizza), potato borek, spicy cheese borek and Ajarski (bread boat filled with cheese, egg or other items which is made to order). 20 minute wait for the Ajarski. The smell of the food automatically welcomes you in. They also have beverages and one of my favorite is Tan. An Armenian yogurt drink. DELICIOUS!! Sounds weird, but it's good! I got a dozen lahmajune the small, compact ones, 2 large, long spicy borek and that was all for today. Give this place a try; and, you will go there at least once or twice a week. Yes, it's that good! Parking is shared with other businesses and they don't have a place to sit. Grab & go orders. Super friendly staff and place is clean.

The woman was somewhat pleasant and the man was not. He didn't even acknowledge that I was there and needed help. Place is small and a lot of customers lined up. Since there is this high demand and hype about their lahmajune (Armenian Pizza), wanted to give it a try and see if it's worth buying. After barely finishing my one lahmajune that I got, I didn't like it. It was too greasy, but the quality of the meat was decent. I got a Fruit Tart from the bakery and 2 Mikados. Both were fresh and delicious! Ambiance of the store needs a good rub and renovation. It's old and attention must be paid!! Got my goodies and left. Prices are reasonable depending what you get. Parking is shared with multiple businesses; and I will stick to the bakeries that I know, like, and am familiar with!!
