The cashier was attentive and took the time to explain the different sandwich options, which I really appreciated. There are only two small tables inside, but around the corner near the parking lot entrance, there's plenty of outdoor seating. I tried the pastrami, which seems to be a popular choice. It had good flavor, but I found it a little salty, and the thinly sliced pastrami was slightly drier than I prefer. The fig sandwich, however, was delicious. The sandwiches are packed with ingredients and flavors, so while everything is tasty, there can be a lot going on in each bite. Overall, definitely worth trying if you're in the area!

The chicken was tender and juicy with a nice, subtle flavor. The fries were light and crisp and it came with a nice little side salad. The patio area was really quaint on a nice evening.

If I could give Ponches Ice Cream more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed like family. Ponch, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure I had the perfect experience -- he's not just friendly, he's genuinely passionate about what he does, and it shows in every detail. Now, let's talk about the masterpiece that changed my dessert life forever: ice cream inside a warm donut. Whoever came up with this deserves a Nobel Prize for happiness -- and Ponch delivers it perfectly. The donut is soft and warm, the ice cream cold and creamy, and the combination is pure magic. I swear it's the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. You can tell everything here is made with love, and that's what makes Ponches so special. It's not just a treat, it's an experience -- one that leaves you smiling long after the last bite. Thank you, Ponch, for creating a place that's as warm and sweet as your donuts and ice cream! read more

Ponch's Ice Cream is seriously the best! The ice cream donut sandwiches are so good -- warm, soft donuts with creamy ice cream inside is such a perfect combo. Everything tastes super fresh, and they have a great variety of flavors and toppings. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the place has such a nice vibe. Definitely one of my favorite dessert spots in Glendale! read more
