Frequently asked questions about the good good
the good good Los Angeles Reviews
I was hosting a launch party of my yoga studio and wanted vegan food and The Good Good went above and beyond. Everyone was raving about the food and as a host I hadn’t had a chance to sample their stuff not eat on the day of the event. I finally got a chance to check them out and I have to say this is beyond what I e tasted in this town. Good vegan food is hard to find and everything I’ve had has been exceptional. This Armenian, women owned business is worth the visit. The vibe is right, there’s a lot of heart and soul out into the food and if you’re lucky you’ll meet the owner who’s super fun. Go. The good good is the vegan food that doesn’t disappoint.
My friend and I stumbled upon this place after our first choice fell through. So glad we came across The Good Good! The staff were super friendly and checked in on us throughout our meal. The food itself was delicious. Definitely will come again! Outdoor dining is available!
Yum!! What a great find!! I had the mushroom meat and potatoes sandwich that was recommended to me and I was not disappointed. Not only was it delicious, it was beautiful! The Armenian bread option was so good, light and crispy. I am very happy that I decided to go with the recommendation. I also had a strawberry chocolate scone and ohhh myyyy goodnesssss, it was also delicious!
I don’t review very often, but I was really impressed with the quality and price of the vegan foods - truffle melt and oven roasted eggplant were delicious! Staff was also super friendly- I will definitely be back for more!
Baking, cakes, pastries and food so good you'll never know it's vegan, gluten, and allergy free. They made our wedding cake, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!
Next day delivery available for ordered placed before 3 pm. We sent savory croissants and cupcakes as a birthday gift to a friend and they were delivered just as promised. Beautiful presentation and great service, and SUPER tasty as reported by the birthday boy.
Delicious food and pastries and friendly service. The falafel bowl was delicious, and the mint lemonade was perfectly refreshing and not too sweet.
Honestly, wow. I am speechless . I ordered a birthday cake which was a vegan/gluten free banana chai 6 inch cake with walnuts and OMG was it amazing! 10/10 everyone immediately closed there eyes whenever they'd bite into a piece. I would definitely recommend to anyone and I can't wait to order another! Thank you guys so much ! The cake was literally perfection.
Love this place. The meat and potatoes pita is sooo yummy and savory. Truffle melt is also amazing. The owner is very sweet and helpful. A little vegan gem!
The food here is awesome. I got the Pita Stuffed Meat & Potatoes, & it was as good as expected. The price is good & the staff is friendly. It’s a place I’ll come back to again.
HOLY MOLY the food's sooo good! We got some truffle melts and a few of the bakery items + coffee--a super solid Sunday brunch :)
The flavors of the food was unbelievable. Highly recommend checking this place out.
Haven’t even tried the savory stuff and I’m hooked. They’re also very nice and sweet here. Pun intended :) I can’t wait to go back to try a meal and other items.

Amazing!!! Delicious. Great customer service. Got a carrot birthday cake and it’s so delicious. So many nuts and raisins. Just a fantastic spot. I had a slice every night after. I’m only dairy free, not vegan so it’s easier for me to purchase vegan desserts. It tastes like it has whole milk, just as delicious.
Yum! :) The food is DELICIOUS and the owner is super kind and beautiful - you can tell she cares about her restaurant/customers! Knowing that I'm supporting a small business that was born of passion makes the food taste that much better. (They opened 6 months before the pandemic and are still going strong; That says something!) Some of the dishes are Armenian-inspired and others are comforting sandwiches. I got the Truffle Melt, "Meat" and Potatoes, and the Creamy Cilantro Seaweed salad! Everything was delicious and I love that the "meat" is made of delicious/healthy mushroom mix instead of some kind of soy meat. The sandwiches were very filling and the salad was fresh, raw and served in a large portion. They also serve non-tap water which shows they're truly conscious about they put out. When I'm in the area, I'll definitely be back again! Excited to try everything else on the menu!
did a custom cake order online and they made the cake great! the rose pistachio gluten free cake was sooo good
The kindest people and the absolute best cakes and pastries in LA! Been a patron for years and will continue to support this wonderful business.
Sona is a lovely, warm, kind person - and phenomenal baker - who is keeping her wonderful daughter Val’s dream alive by continuing to bake and serve delicious vegan pastries and cakes. Please note that while The Good Good restaurant/cafe no longer serves walk ins, you can order their delicious pastries - sweet and savory - a couple of days ahead of time for pickup. All the info is on their website and social media. My husband and I live in San Diego, but we always look forward to picking up yummy Good Good pastries whenever we come to LA. 😊

Awesome vegan bakery with some amazing pastries. Their “cheesy” croissant is possibly one my all time favorites. Had a muffin too and some savory ones. One thing I didn’t care for was the coffee. They just use a machine for the pours and they’re not exactly good unless you get it with sweeteners and milk. Still worth having with your treats! The patio isn’t around anymore and the hours are much more different now since the loss of the owner. But still worth going after getting their schedule.
This place is a wonderful hole-in-the-wall. The food is GREAT, wonderful flavor that definitely surprised me. I got the 'meat' and potatoes bowl, an iced latte, and a couple baked goods (cherry almond butter muffin and savory mushroom croissant). I will definitely return for the food - zero doubt. The place itself is a bit tough to spot from the street and parking in front is tiny - recommend street parking, which is plentiful all around. Service was nice. Why not 5 stars? The baked goods case had some flies flying around inside, the music was very loud, and no wifi available for customers (even though it was listed as available on Yelp, weird). The bathroom is not the cleanest but at least one is available. The outside seating area is shared with the businesses next door. My intent was to get some work done here over lunch but this is not the place for it given lack of internet, loud music, and loud outside seating (many people/tables, right on a bust street). Maybe future post-covid visits will bump this up to a 5-star - but for now, I can't wait to return to try out more dishes!
