Reviews of Grand Casino Bakery & Cafe (Bakery)

Irene Hahn

argentinian food... delicious. Nice place to relax, people watch, eat good, etc. Certainly worth a return visit. The bill was appropriate for the quality. I see why this place has so many good reviews.

Randall Hogan

argentinian food and service here is above par. I will be bringing friends next time. Prices are fair. Menu is like a place in San Francisco I liked.

Cassidy Brooks

argentinian food and the feeling here is above par. Food was so delicious. The service was very welcoming and observant. Food is like a restaurant in Jacksonville I liked.

George QUINTANILLA

Excelente plan y antojitos argentinos.

Jose Duarte

Loved it. The new waitress(Maria) is so friendly attentive and nice makes the whole experience wonderful. The soups are yummy and healthy and best empanadas in LA.

This place is average, but I will not return. I was not impressed with my empanadas.

Today I Tried some Argentinian Empanadas, I tried one Ham & Cheese and two with meat. It was decent, they were not the best I've tried. There wasn't enough cheese in the Ham & cheese and there wasn't enough meat. But I will like to try something else on their menu next time.

José Daidone

awesome food, great waiters, fair price!

Kylie Young

Good site for Argentinian food. One of the best spots of its kind in the area.

Stephen Brocker

Awesome food, environment, service, absolutely incredible. Not on the menu but the yerba mate tea is delicious!

Rafael Garay

The ribs are great here. It's the only item I order

Lorenzo Pecoraro

Buen cafe. Buenisimos pan dulce o facturas. Impresentable e incomible empanada de pollo. Muy buena atención d las empleadas.

Jonathan Knecht

Authentic tasty Argentinian food at cheap prices. Nice outdoor, indoor cafe. Good atmosphere. Bakery has the lightest sourdough bread with a crispy crust I have had in LA. Empanadas, Media Lunas , Chori pan and more! A hidden local gem! Don't miss visiting here.

Maria Ines Quesada

Love the coffee and delicious sandwich Nice place to watch the soccer games.

Evelyn Lemus

Hate is bad; but DISLIKED is the right word for my experience at Grand Casino. My Iced-tea came with the unusual COCKROACH GARNISH ( instead of lime or mint). The employee's way of handling the issue was as bad as the GARNISH itself. I was asked if " the garnish was already there" implying that I'd put it there myself. Shame on you Grand Casino!!!!

Denys Slesarenko

Super tasty

Todd Elliott

Crappy service. I waited 20 minutes and no one helped me. I left and went across the street to Rocco.

Analuisa Gamboa

The bakery is cozy, the alfajores and empanadas were great.

Joanna Montes

Me gustan la yerba mate y las alfalejas

La Educada

Delicious food and bakery treats at reasonable prices

Kirk Chantraine

Very tasty veggie empanadas and their daily soup (mushroom) was delicious and creamy. Will definitely go back!

Teresa Rosen

Grand Casino is a hidden gem in Culver City on Main Street. It has the feel of a European sidewalk cafe. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. Breakfasts are wonderful. The Huevos Rancheros is one of the best I've had and that includes Tia Sophia's in Santa Fe, NM. Cafe Lates are great. Have always had an enjoyable, delicious meal here.

(Translated by Google) Delicious, I love having breakfast here, the atmosphere is comfortable, the service incredible and the food has a delicious taste, besides that the price is very good. My recommendation is the Huevos rancheros. (Original) Delicioso, Me encanta desayunar aquí , el ambiente es cómodo, el servicio increíble y la comida tiene un sabor riquisimo, además de que el precio es muy bueno. Mi recomendación son los Huevos rancheros.

Baked goods were delicious (cookie, donuts, eclair). Gets busy pretty quickly so you will have to wait a couple of minutes before ordering. Espresso was perfect. I've heard breakfast here is delicious-- have yet to experience it myself, but I plan on returning soon to try it.

Natalia Coleman

argentinian food and the feeling at this location is great. Had a friend come into town and she asked me to take her here again. Prices that won't break you.

Michael Shappee

Awesome food. Got their own bakery attached. Great baguettes, empanadas, skirtsteak, milaneses. Great patio dining. Family owned.

Carlos Sanchez

Muy bueno, nos gustó su atención y la comida. Lo recomiendo.

Colette Conley

Vegans wouldn't be happy here, as nothing they produce fulfills the vegan-friendly diet. The bakery is delicious, though. I've never seen flies around as one of the reviews said...The staff is also friendly, and even made change for me so I could get some quarters to do laundry.

Wen Dombrowski

awesome empanadas!! The dough & filling are so tasty

_ Krank

Nice little place. It can be a little awkward when you enter because there is no host, but the food is pretty good, and it's chill. I love their breakfasts and coffee.

Paul T

Excellent service, good food, delicious Sunday buffet.

Miguel Mayo

The quality is far away from the real Argentine panaderia (bakery) and overpriced, it may seem OK for the average US customer but not for a native Argentinean.

Oscar Markoch

Good place for an Argentinean "Parrillada"

Carlos Sanfelippo

Precios muy caros El salón muy feo Banos sucios Atención de la mesera excelente Cocina por lo que pude ver desde afuera Muy sucia La presentación del plato 5 puntos El piso del salón sucio y despintado Iluminación mala Si fuese un inspector de Health Department le pongo letra H y lo Plausuro

Len White

Great Continental vibe with street seating. Take a trip back in time with an espresso at sunset. Would love to see more vegan items!

Elisabeth Fernandez

Los sándwiches de miga, las empanadas y las sopas crema naturales son increíbles! Ni hablar de los tazones de café con leche!

pastor Marcos Fernández Volpe

Ever Ruiz

Every time I visit my mom in LA, I make sure I take a visit here for some Medialunas.

Tovarizer

Everyone stay away from this place I visited here quite often until I bit into a shard of glass in one of their muffins, I complaint they didn't believe me, they couldn't even understand me because everyone only spoke Spanish here, yes no English, i'm never coming back. well I was enjoying my meal I was near the register and they made a loud sound and she asked me what's wrong as I told her what was wrong she couldn't understand when I pulled a piece of glass out of my mouth.

Menajem Peretz

Stop here for coffee and sweets and what a place, it may not have the decor of a fancy coffee shop, but pastry are good, also the savoury empanadas, and the fo have a restaurant next door.

Getachew Bekele

Very good

Urs Abbey

Delicious food, good service!! Dayummm those fries and only were awe-frekking-some!!

Byron Martinez.

Deliciosos panes Argentinos

Nancy Hoffman

I ordered 3 1/4-sheet cakes for an office event. They were huge! Beautifully done and delicious. The prices were reasonable. I've also been to the regular bakery several times and love their empanadas. They have a huge variety of cookies, too. I've never actually been into the restaurant part, just the bakery. When I went to pick up my cakes early Friday morning, I locked my keys in the car and the "regulars" sitting around outside with their coffees were very nice and helpful.

Kathy Mayer

Ok place for tasty argentinian food. Arrived at six, it was not packed. Definitely worth a return trip. This place has a cool atmosphere. This place has many good reviews for a reason.

Lizeth Chaves

I bought a 4 leches cake and it was dry. I’m so disappointed to have spend $35 on a cake we didn’t like. I thought it was going to be good because I always buy pastries and bread here. I hope you guys do something about it.

Kashish Shah

I had the cheese and spinach empanadas here, not the greatest empanadas, I would say Okayish!! They were a little harder from outside and very greasy even though baked. Service is really good, also we had the bottomless mimosas, cant really go wrong with the mimosas though.

Patricia Malone

So happy this place opened up right next door!! Great food, coffee, ice cream, juices. Awesome breakfast spot. It's expensive and super hipster-y, but I'll take it as it's the only place in this area to get breakfast and coffee. The olive oil eggs are my favorite!! Sooo good.

Teague Uva

Fantastic empenadas

andres perez

There's always a girl that confused our order , so annoying !!!! And she's rude , worst place ever , bad costumer service , I used to love this place till they change all the people n the menu too , n I found a fly on my turkey sandwich , so disgusting.

Everett Clay

One of my fav locations for tasty Argentinian food. i had a brother come into town and asked me to take him back here. this place has a great atmosphere.

Ariel Notcovich

Awesome

William Cort

Excellent food and service.

Rob Nokes

The breakfast is awesome. Peanut Butter cookies are awesome. I really love this place. The bizcochos almost as good as in Uruguay but hey... nothing in Argentina is as good as in Uruguay ;) signed Mr. Tacuarembó, Carlos Gardel :)

Xavier Harrington

Ok spot for quality argentinian food. the service was very helpful and observant. the bill was appropriate for the quality. food is like a restaurant in jacksonville i liked.

David Morales

Good food

Anna Alvarez

Great service. Loved the food and prices.

Leigh Classen

My friends and I came here for lunch and it was a beautiful day to be in the outdoor area enjoying lunch. Unfortunately it was a bit of an odd meal in terms of service and food quality. It had a higher end feel being there so it was nice to be in, but we thought the service and food would reflect that. Our server would disappear for a while, messed up some of our orders and some things were just lacking on flavor. I got a chicken chimichurri sandwich and there wasn't much chimichurri sauce on there at all and salad didn't come with dressing and server was gone for too long to even ask. Others had either messed up meals or they were lacking anything special too, but still felt nice to be here. The bread from their bakery on the sandwich was great and we got some bakery treats after that were really good. I agree with others that you should come here for bakery items, not so much the meal.

Wayne Sharp

Argentinian food, my favorite treat. I was so stuffed. It has a cool atmosphere. I can see why they have a lot of positive reviews.

Alma Yany Alarcon

Food not good!!!

Corey Graham

Adrian Amaya

Raquel Davila

Un lugar muy ameno y agusto. Vengo mucho a desayunar a este lugar y tienen un servicio bueno y amable, los desayunos están muy ricos y el café con leche es mi favorito. La repostería está muy buena y hay variedad .

Elizabeth Browning

Excellent spot for quality argentinian food. The bill was good for what you get. I see why this place has a lot of good reviews.

Jeff Willson

I ran got coffee and pastries so I can't speak to the sit down meal part. The coffee was ok and the pastries were pretty good. I wouldn't seek this place out but if you in the area it's not a bad option.

Allen Sparrow

What a huge variety to choose from. This place is pretty amazing and the people that run this place are so polite and responsive.

Marisol Gallarday

Food was great today

Reyn Hornwood

Consistently good Bakery for over 10-years. My favorite items are the Beef Empanadas, cheese facturas, and apple facturas. Coffee is decent. Restaurant is solid too.

Brian Treanor

Grand Casino is brilliant: great coffee, great empanadas, and best of all great service. The folks who working mornings, when I most often go in, are incredibly friendly and efficient, and a big part of what makes this a lovely local spot. Been coming here for years, and will continue to do so as long as it keeps this kind of charm.

Sara Alvarez

Great food and the service it's amazing.

Beo. Wulf

Great for full cuisine & excellent coffee too at the cafe.

Jasmine Wills

Came in with my friend on a rainy Monday. Service was great. Ordered a cafe late that was made to perfection (I am usually not a fan of latte but felt the urge to try it with all the great reviews). I also saw that they have tango classes so I will definitely come back to try out the class.

Constanza Arevalo

Great food and staff!

Simon Kim

food is 4 star (maybe 5 for what it is?), service is 2 star. some of the workers are much more service oriented than others.. just get the food and get out, or else you might want to flip a table.

Victoria Gentry

Excellent location for quality argentinian food. had a sister come into town and asked me to take her here again. prices are decent for the quality. kinda of like a cafe in phoenix that i enjoyed.

Sergio Lista

Pregunte si pasaban un partido de Argentina, me dijeron que si, fui hasta el lugar y me dicen que no. No brinden mal informacion, estoy perdiendo tiempo y plata al ir hasta ese lugar

Rodney Woodard

Excellent place for delicious Argentinian food. Everyone at our table was glad to be there. Prices were average for the menu.

Alicia Nishikawa

ハラペーニョのサンドイッチとカフェラテを毎週のように食べに通っていました。 フレンドリーなメキシコ系の店員さんと美味しいパンは思い出の味になっています。

Sakee Espinoza

Good pastries

Robert Dunsmote

I’ve been eating at grand Casino ever since it opened it is the most delicious food you ever try I love their empanada.

Sids Lodi

This is the best place for fresh sandwiches. I do miss Ms. Lydia. Great atmosphere and very reasonable prices. The cakes are just out of this world. It is lime a second home to me. SIDLODI

Maria Delgado

Disappointed, drove an hour thinking it was as good as it was a few years ago.was going to get a rosca de Reyes but after the horrible lunch and the rosca looking like any cake but a rosca de Reyes o did not take a chance and left

Melissa Campbell

Lunch empanadas, delish !!! 3 empanada variety, Steak/ Chicken/ Spinach Comes with a choice of soup or salad. I ordered a salad, lemon dressing was perfectly seasoned very light!

April Butler

With great outdoor seating and service, it's the place to go in Culver City if you're an empanada fan!

Max Flynn

Friendly staff, great place to sit and talk over breakfast or lunch.

Lily Yip

This review is only about the bakery. If you want to try the Argentinian version of a macaron, you need to try their ALFAJORES! The alfajores have a dulce de leche (caramel-like) filling that is REALLY YUMMY! They are soft and slightly chewy, but the texture is just right. I can guarantee that you can't just have one because you'll want more! You can grab a box of Alfajores ($4.45 for a dozen). I've bought a few boxes for a potluck at work and everyone LOVED them! They also sell a big version of their alfajores or ones dipped in chocolate. And they have other pastries such as muffins, cookies, danishes, and empanadas. Their empanadas are pretty good too! Fairly small but fresh and all handmade. I also tried a Large Vanilla Latte ($3.75) and it was ok. Not strong enough for me. One day I will have to walk over here and try their brunch menu which looks pretty good. For parking, you can try parking at one of the meters or park in one of the Culver City lots at along Culver Blvd and Watseka, or Cardiff or Ince (on Washington & Culver) where you can park for 2 hours for free!.

Russ Dahlberg

Great empanadas.

Chris Diesel

They take special orders at times. I like it like that so that they can still focus on making delicious breads every day, I love their cakes too.

Cory Verryt

Classy place, delicious food.

Alfredo Monzon

Good brunch, not expensive.

Soul Rebel

The Argentinian pastries are delicious and authentic. Great spot and a long time favorite with the locals. This bakery cafe has tons of options as well other Argentine staples on menu.

Alan Juarez

The spinach & cheese empanada with a soy late are perfect to start my day.

Steven Parsons

argentinian food at this spot - super tasty. I was so full. Bring your appetite because portions are generous. Feels like a place in Los Angeles I loved.

Liam Duk-Stolting

Good food, good service, good restaurant

Gage Waller

My preferred place for delicious Argentinian food. Don't fret if it's busy, it is worth the wait. This place has a good feel to it.

Pete Martinez

Authentic mexican food.Reminds me of home

Ema Condori-Teves

I used to like coming here but the Grand Casino is now crap. We ordered a dozen facturas and a dozen empanadas and they were VERY small and FLAT! The empanadas HARDLY even had any filling! Not to mention that they only gave us 11 empanadas not the 12 we ordered and paid for. On top of this the lady who attended us was SO RUDE despite the fact that we were the only ones ordering. She also hastly dumped the facturas inside the box. I would not recommend this place to anyone who want to be treated with respect and eat good facturas, empanadas, or any other pastries.

Darrell Houghton

Great food and great service. My go to place for empanadas and sweets.

Oscar Mendez

Un lugar muy limpio muy agradable para pasar un buen rato con amigos y disfrutar un. buen cafe

Vinícius DeFurio

Empanadas ready to go!

Dre Mosley

Great Ham Sandwiches !

Tessa Lembke

Delicious food...we always get the skirt steak, empanadas, and milanesa. With a bigger group we will get the parrillado which has all the meats plus veg and large sides. Our server was also great. And, you must stop at the bakery...it is outstanding....alfajores and facturas oh my!

Izzi Kessner

Cheap but delicious pastries

G. Christensen

Not a single gluten free item and proud of it. When I inquired after options I was simply told, "This is a bakery". Apparently, they didn't get the memo. Not the one about gluten free but the one about customer service. Luckily, there's two gluten free BAKERIES within a block and many other places offering service with a smile. The Americano was pretty good, however, it was served up in a dirty cup.

Mirta p

Frecuentamos esta bakery desde hace mas de 30 años Esta semana festejamos nuestro 50 aniversario de boda ahi y como siempre todo fue inmejorable desde la comida, torta y atencion. Patricia fue nuestra coordinadora y estuvo a cargo del servicio. Pendiente de todos los detalles para que nuestra reunion de 30 personas fuera un suceso. Gracias

SnoutyPig

This place is great. There is an eating area outside just off the sidewalk that's fresh, clean and ideal for summer lounging. The interior decor is no nonsense, comfortable and has a warm atmosphere that is something out of old school films. Menu selection is small but the food is very good if rarely great... This is no dig plus I'm a bit hard to please. The service is sometimes great and sometimes it is a bit of an afterthought but they are always friendly which makes up for a lot. I recommend their prosciutto and cheese plate as an appetizer or the mushroom soup. Bread is free, usually fresh and always delicious.

Rob Olague

The empanadas are good, but the service was spotty. They were setting up for some other event while we were having food on the patio and the staff seemed distracted by that, as well as a distracting experience as a patron. I'd be back, but probably to-go.
