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...

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).

Tommy and Atticus

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...
