King "of" T.'s Profile

I wanted to like Magnolia. I REALLY wanted to like Magnolia. (I'm from NYC, they're from NYC. Heard about them being better than Sprinkles. No lines.) But it was not to be...

Sprinkles destroys this place! Not even close. Crumbs is even better than this cupcake legend.

Frosting was ehh. The store was nice and large but hard to find. Staff was nice although not very helpful. BUT most importantly, they had onle five, yes - 5 flavors of cupcakes. What the hell is that? Very weak. Showing up in LA with only five flavors in your display is like throwing an orgy and inviting only your best friend and his vanilla flavored girlfriend. Not really an orgy, and not really a cupcake shop is it?

I expect LA things to be slack. But NYC usually demands higher standards. I don't know what happened to NYC customers being a little more discerning but in this case the West Coast is the best coast.

Sprinkle by TKO. At least we still have the Yanks.

I do not rescind my opinion of their coffee - it is good.

It is them. Almost everytime I go there they are out of coffee - brewed & beans. If I sound bitter it is because I haven't had my COFFEE!

Now I know it is a huge leap for a bunch of hippies probably stoned and busy talking to their other burnout hippy friends, but if you run a coffee shop the one thing you should have is... wait for it... COFFEE!

If I have to go to Coffee Bean or Starbucks everytime I come here it is no longer worth it. By the way, if any of you lazy hippy stoners ever decided to look on the "internet" our corporate overlords have created a simple operations formula for how to order - you guessed it - COFFEE!

It is actually a case study at most MBA schools. Anyhow, counting the days, because this place with no product won't last much longer.

This is the problem with anything run by hippies.

Heard about Daniel's from a guy at the impound after my vehicle was towed for having NY Plates.

We all know that trying to get anything done in the Soviet Socialist Republic of California can make any sane man go postal.

Well, these people are like the A-Team of the DMV. If you have a problem they are the ones to call. They are a 100% stand up people who will take care of all your DMV problems for only a small fee. Worth the trouble when the alternative is going postal.

Great people, incredibly patient and 100% trustworthy. Save yourself the trouble.

Told me the last two times I went that they don't have a tool that fits my particular make of Japanese car. It broke and they haven't bought a new one. Staff is nice and polite so it must be the manager or owner that's the idiot.

Now seriously. Does anyone want a company that is so incompetent they can't order a wrench working on their car.

ALL CAR OWNERS and those with mopeds, scooters or anything else that takes oil or varied lubrication, should BOYCOTT a place managed by such morons.

If you have a need to oil up - go to Jiffy Lube or somewhere else. BOYCOTT!!!

Finally!!! Santa Monica has a place by the beach that serves beach food!

After years of nothing on Main Street but old lady hippy crap stores we finally get a take out restaurant.

Not only is it great beach food. It is great Japanese beach food - onigiri!

Price is right, food is great, the shop design is cool and modern. Now, just create some onigiri recipes that are fusion inspired and I think we have the latest craze in LA.

This was once a great hidden treasure. It is now not even a shadow of what it once was.

First it cost $5 for parking in Buffalo?!?! and then another $8 per person. Once inside there was a half empty second floor where there used to be a great room with a beautiful entrance. The halls were empty, the walls which were stone had plywood over them and they were empty.

Of the work they had up most of it was crappy B grade modern art that really holds little interest. There was none of the great classics or great modern art they were known for. No Picasso glass works. No great painting from some German dude in the staircase.

It really is so sad.

The curating sucked so bad that my apartment is better lit with Ikea lights.

Few works, over hyped, bad curating (very bad - three wags of the finger for this) and the library was closed. This used to be a great place to relax and enjoy and now that too is closed.

This place is an embarrasment. I am ashamed I showed it to people from out of town. Every Buffalonian should hang their head a bit lower because of the sad state of what was a great cultural icon.

The food is good. The wine is fine. Would love to come back except - The SERVICE is TERRIBLE!

We were a group of UCLA students who just finished our MBAs. Many of these guys spend a great deal at bars and restaurants, so everyone was excited to be here and have a good time. - UCLA Students STAY AWAY!

We had a party of six with a total bill of $198. It probably would have been more but we left and went to another bar. Here are bullet points of why I would never spend money here anymore.

* The waitresses were rude and not friendly at all.
* They rarely came around. Had to constantly flag them.
* Many of the men and women there thought that the waitress had something against Asians as we couldn't figure out why they were so bitchy. We weren't demanding and always said please and thank you.
* Then they add 20% tip to the bill when the service was basically attitude and almost not existent.
* There were two waitresses for about six (6) tables. Why is the service so slow?
* Finally, the food took forever.

The owner needs to do something about his staff. This could be a great place but recommend everyone to stay away. Way too rude and presumptuous.

Please. I am begging you.

Please build one closer to Santa Monica.

Like coming down to Manhattan Beach and all but what the hell man! Are we not good enough for you?

Is it that you don't like our ugly, slighty stupid, hippy brother Venice? Well, you need to get over that. That's your problem.

I mean come on. Come on! Build one already!

Been waiting for a Yogurtland to open down this way. New, clean, fresh and plenty of seating. Finally a Yogurtland the size one should be.

And they had fresh blueberries!

Definitely the best hotel on the Big Island. Everything I read below turned out to be exactly as it was. Probably the most accurately true reviews I have ever read on Yelp.

Staff were genuinely friendly, hotel is beautiful, the beaches are great (epecially for snorkeling) and the rooms were superb.

Great for a no-kids adult only environment.
