    the inside of a store

    My, oh, my. Don't you have a Sweet Box? *giggle* https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=af9xe4lMULS-OWblJMXrnw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA After taking a macaron-making class at "The Gourmandise School" in Santa Monica almost a decade ago, I've grown to appreciate those tasty lil' buggers. After seeing Snowfox close up, to be replaced by Sweet Box, macaron hunger pangs engulfed me, awaiting Sweet Box to open. Macarons have 2 distinctions - regular & special. Naturally, I had to go for special macarons, if only because they're too cute. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aSVGzCYXY_smSmrPheDIng&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Cocoa & nutella macarons- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-ZhLGUWgjaeVZS-8f-SN7Q&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA I highly enjoyed these macarons, moreso cocoa. They both had a good amount of filling, with the macarons having a little bite to them. Not too sweet, either. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=YzfvWOQ8dg82Yydr255yHw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. The young woman behind the counter was busy decorating a fresh batch of macarons out of the oven, but quickly assisted me with my order. The macarons are allowed to cool, then individually wrapped, to save for later or to give away. Sweet Box is located in front of the food court at Los Cerritos Center. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-UzQYjLzVrR865uI9wfjrw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Call me the Macaron Mack Daddy, for I love me some macarons! Sweet Box has a box of awesomeness awaiting you. Their macarons are the real deal, and since I haven't visited in awhile, methinks I need to gift myself a box, sooner rather than later. Highly recommend!

    This macaron shop is near the food court at the mall. These are the best macarons I have tried! They are a good size. They have a lot of flavor and the filling is perfect. Not too sweet or thick like most I have tried. I love the pistachio, vanilla, strawberry and earl gray.

    This place is not welcoming to Black people. I have purchased here several times and never have I received a welcoming greeting. With the political and social climate that we are currently experiencing, I am on higher alert to establishments that make me feel uncomfortable. I went to the Cerritos mall the day before my birthday to get my favorite cookies, when I stepped to the counter the owner was actually working the counter. She looked at me directly in the face, turned her back, and went to take care of other things inside her booth while I stood there for a total of 4 1/2 minutes waiting for her to acknowledge me. Or ask me to give her a moment so that she could take care of what was suddenly so urgent when I arrived. When she finally decided to give me her attention she walked over to the glass where I was standing, and said yes, and that's it. I lost it. Needless to say, I walked away from that counter with her knowing exactly how I felt about her service and her business. I didn't want to jump to conclusions so my mother and I got some food and sat down directly across from her establishment to watch and see if this experience was had by other people, specifically those of color. I watched this lady countless times hurry to service people that aren't the same colors as me. There was one customer that came to her booth that looked like me. It was a man with his children. They received almost the same service that I did. She sat in her booth and waited at least 2 to 3 minutes before she finally got up, walked to the counter, and just looked him in the face. No communication, no smile, nothing. This man still purchased with this woman and left the counter. I wish that he had been more aware of what was happening to him and his children. Needless to say, I hope that she changes her attitude towards people of color, specifically African-American customers. I saw plenty of Hispanicscustomers go to her booth, and she jumped to service them. Crappy ambience honestly

    Not only cute but seriously tangy and tasty 5/5. It's seriously worth the price I paid for them!

    Not only adorable, but tasty too!!! I accidentally came across Sweet Box only because I wanted to walk off my lunch and the mall was an air conditioned place to do it. So I was wandering with no destination in mind and I come across the Sweet Box kiosk. So freaking cute!!! This place is NOT cheap and being that the macarons were so cute, I figured they only looked good but didn't hold much weight in the flavor department. I was wrong. I enjoy macarons on rare occasions because they are usually too sweet but I thought that Sweet Box did a great job in the balance of sweetness, chewiness, and presentation. I would definitely recommend this place to others. After bringing them home and trying them, I was thinking of who's bday was coming up so I could buy them some. Out of the dozen I bought, the Earl Grey was my favorite. The Strawberry was good as well as it had a real fruit flavor to it. Piece of advise. Don't let them sit in your car or in a warm area as the filling will melt. I learned the hard way. I still ate all of them though. The service was good but I did feel a little rushed. I didn't understand why being that there was no one in line but I did feel rushed. She wasn't rude but she kept looking over her shoulder like she had something else to get to.

    Stumbled across this cute store while going around the mall. The macarons were so cutely decorated and tasted really good (´`)ノ I tried the ghost macarons and the grape tanghulu. It was my first time trying tanghulu and it wasn't that sticky and the grapes were sweet. My boyfriend said it was too sweet but that's just his taste ( ̄ ̄) The worker was so sweet and very nice!

    Duckie-!!

    They have the cutest macarons ever! There's usually a wide variety of animals if you come early. They are a bit on the pricey side for macarons but definitely worth it if you have the money! I religiously get my salted caramel duckies here. Ahh as an fyi though, they are a small business and due to them being under staffed they may sometimes take awhile to serve you - I once waited over 5 minutes to be served because the staff were hard at work decorating the next batch of cookies. So please be patient with them, they're trying their best!

    Flavors: Vanilla Bean, Red Velvet, Matcha, Cookies & Cream, Nutella, and Strawberry. 12 pack for $28
    Lynette L.

    Flavors: Vanilla Bean, Red Velvet, Matcha, Cookies & Cream, Nutella, and Strawberry. As you can tell, I already ate half the box. Out of all these flavors my favorite were Vanilla Bean and Nutella. But all of them were really really good. Not intensely sweet...just perfect. Probably the best macarons I've had in a while. Definitely recommend this place!

    Here is proof of the mold on the macaron.

    I had come here for some macarons, especially after a long day. The presentation of the macarons are quite lovely and they tasted well. However, i had opened up one of the macarons to discover there was mold on the cookie. I was extremely disappointed considering this was my first time at this place. I could've had an adverse reaction to the mold, not to mention this is not checked for quality at all, so who knows how long the macaron could've been sitting for if mold was able to grow inside. I'm extremely disappointed, so I recommend being weary and double checking before taking the first bite.

    13 macaroons for $33!

    This was my first time visiting Bakers & Baristas but not my first time trying there macaroons…read more My daughter has been treating me to macaroons on special occasions and I absolutely love them! I can't have them from anywhere else because these hit the spot so hard that no one can compete. I personally have not tried anything else, but my kids have enjoyed other treats from this place. They are located in Cerritos at a very busy shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. I didn't expect the bakery to be an actual restaurant. There was a good crowd, sitting at tables and eating and drinking. They have about a dozen different flavors of macaroons. You can't go wrong with any of them, but my top favorite are the Birthday, Fruity Pebble, Horchata, Cappuccino and Ferrero Rocher. They make nice gifts too, as they can put it in a treat box in an ice brown paper bag. I definitely need to come back and try their drinks and something else from their menu.

It came with garlic rice and about five large pieces of pork belly. While the portion was generous, I found the pork a little dry and chewy, and I definitely needed water to push it down. My boyfriend, on the other hand, really enjoyed his Breakfast Smash Burger. It was much thicker than we expected, definitely not a traditional smashed burger, and could have used a little more sauce. The bun had a nice crispy crust though. The side of fries were a standout: crispy, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. We ordered the chocolate chip cookie for dessert. It was large and thin, and since it was served before we were ready to eat it, we asked if they could warm it up again later and they gladly did. The cookie was softer and the chocolate melted nicely. The ambiance is casual and relaxed. You order at the counter before finding a table, and there's plenty of indoor seating. We would have loved to sit outside, but all of the shaded patio tables were occupied, and it was a little too hot to sit in the sun. One detail I especially appreciated was that the tables have purse hooks underneath. I'd definitely come back for the coffee if I'm in the area but I'd probably try a different entree.

From the gold and white décor to the soft jazz playing throughout the café, the entire space feels elegant, peaceful, and welcoming. One thing I really enjoyed was the self-serve bakery experience. You grab a tray when you walk in and choose from a selection of fresh pastries, breads, croissants, cookies, macarons, cakes, pies, tarts, and so much more. There truly is something for everyone. I ordered the Honey Lavender Matcha and a chocolate muffin and spent about 11bucks. Let me just say, both were excellent. The matcha was perfectly balanced with earthy matcha, honey, and lavender without being overly sweet. The chocolate muffin was soft, moist, and filled with a rich chocolate center that made every bite even better. I also appreciated the attention to cleanliness and presentation. Many of the fresh bakery items were individually wrapped and sealed, while others were beautifully displayed behind glass, giving the café a polished and upscale feel. What really stood out to me was the value. I spent less here than I had at another coffee shop earlier that week, yet left feeling like I received so much more. The quality, atmosphere, food, and overall experience made it feel like money well spent. Whether you're looking for a place to study, work remotely, enjoy a coffee date, meet a friend, or simply treat yourself, Tous Les Jours is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more from their bakery because there were far too many delicious options to choose from in just one visit.

The sponge is incredibly soft, and the mascarpone cream is light, airy, and not overly sweet, making every bite feel perfectly balanced. The fresh strawberries add just the right amount of sweetness and a slight tartness that complements the delicate cream beautifully. This isn't one of those heavy, overly rich cakes that leave you feeling full after a slice. It's so light and refreshing that it's hard to stop at just one piece. I chose this cake for my birthday, and it was the perfect celebration cake. If you enjoy desserts that are elegant, fluffy, and just sweet enough, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I'll definitely be ordering it again!

I think compared to the traditional asian bakeries in 626 like Kee Wah, etc., the breads are much softer (a little on the overly soft side).
