The Sweet Nuns is a french pastry shop specializing in stacked cream puffs, traditionally known as “religieuses”, aka Nuns. Made of two light pastry cases called “choux”, the mini choux is stacked on top the bigger one, then filled with crème pâtissière, glazed, designed and decorated. Flavors include match green tea nun, pineapple/lime nun, pumpkin spice latte nun and more. They even come in mini nun size!

3. Honey & Butter Character Macarons

Ok, ok… Honey and Butter is technically not in L.A. (Costa Mesa to be more exact) but their macarons are too cute not to mention, with featured characters like Totoro, magical unicorns and even a hilarious Chuck Norris macaron! The husband and wife team make their macaron shells with California almonds and their jams from fresh fruits, nuts and temper the chocolate themselves. Check out their Instagram often, they only stay open, till they sell out of inventory and thats pretty much every time.

9. Mouse Trap Mac n Cheese At Barton G.

It’s hard to pick just one Barton G. dish to count as “cute” but the mouse trap mac n cheese is straight up hilarious. Pasta spirals in a cheesy cheddar sauce on one side and a wedge of cheddar on the other. Just make sure you don’t get your hand caught in the mouse trap.
