"Watching a celebrated chocolatier launch a line of chocolates in 2004, then an Echo Park shop in 2013, and a second 5,000-square-foot outpost in Glendale in 2022 has been a literal treat for longtime Angelenos. Valerie Confections' Valerie Gordon prepares toffees, petit fours, pies, and an outstanding and signature coffee crunch cake. The Glendale shop has an adorable and covered patio to enjoy any of these things, but also check what Gordon prepared for the daily specials, like quiche or breakfast hand pie."
"Sitting on the sidewalk dining area of Wurstküche with a large order of fries, sauerkraut-topped sausages tucked into soft rolls, and a crisp soda on a weekend just feels right - especially when it's over 70 degrees out, which it will be this weekend. I love the casual vibe of dining here and the extensive selection of fruity beers and sausages alongside ample amounts of mustard; make sure to try all the squeeze bottles of grain, Dijon, and honey mustard available."
Valerie Confections produces toffees, petit fours, pies, and a signature coffee crunch cake from a longtime chocolatier who expanded to a large Glendale outpost in 2022. The Glendale shop features a covered patio and daily savory specials that include quiche and a breakfast hand pie with flaky salt-and-pepper crust, herby scrambled eggs, ham, and melted Swiss. Many customers take home boxed confections after dining. Wurstküche provides sidewalk dining with fries, sauerkraut-topped sausages in soft rolls, and a broad selection of fruity beers. The menu includes classics like Hungarian heat and Louisiana hot link plus exotic sausages such as rattlesnake, rabbit, and duck.
