Yummy Cupcakes offers delicious gourmet cupcakes. This charming store has a lot of traditional and exotic flavors, from chocolate to apple martini cupcakes. The store is very small and there's no place to sit and eat your cupcake inside, but there's plenty of parking to take your cupcake on the go. Although the website shows a lot of types, the store won't have every flavor, but they'll have at least two traditional and two unusual cupcakes every day.

Grab a number and get in line - you will be glad that you did. Close to the popular Glendale Galleria, this extremely busy Cuban-style deli may seem a bit chaotic at first, but that is because people know a good thing when they have tasted it. This eatery serves up some of the most unique and tasty sandwiches and baked goods around. Its unusual Potato Sandwich, made with beef, sounds strange but tastes fabulous. Well worth it, most people say. Credit cards are not accepted.

Get Shaved started out and still is a shave ice truck that travels the Los Angeles area. This is their first brick and mortar shop. With finely shaved ice, a plethora of syrups and toppings, ice cream, ice cream cookie sandwiches and shakes, this cute little dessert stand is a cool oasis in the warm San Fernando Valley. Choose your size, pick up to three flavors of syrups, add ice cream and toppings, and you have a perfect treat. Prices are low, and service is friendly and fairly quick. This place is very popular in the evenings, but worth the wait. They are open late, until midnight most nights. There’s lots of parking in the back, as well as a large covered patio with ample seating.
