The Ciderworks
Cider bar
👍👍 The customer service is what gets them 5 stars because they were not serving their menu when I visited due to being short staffed at their sister restaurant next door. They were only offering items from the story tavern, which in my opinion has an inferior menu. But is did enjoy the pineapple ale, b...

Oakberry Acai

👍👍 Oakberry has the best acai I've ever tried. Better than most acai bowls places nearby. The paçoca is delicious. Authentic Brazilian acai, 100% natural and organic. Fair price for the quality, you pay what you get for. The staff are very friendly. I definitely recommend this place!

Food House Restaurant
Persian restaurant
👍👍 Amazing home style middle eastern food. The owner and her two kids are very hands on and sincerely care about the customer's experience. This reminds me of a tastier mom and pops version of Raffi's (Glendale). They make everything in house (including ice cream and yogurt).

Bakery
😐 We had the sandwich, the almond croissant, and some espresso. The sandwich was disappointing - it was a bit dry and seemed to be missing the pickled onions; the bread was pretty good; but it was very overpriced at $13. The croissant was extremely dry - I don’t know how else to describe it other than...
