I have passed by this place many times during my Saturday runs and someone from my run club mentioned about it selling a great chocolate chip cookie. Today was the day to try out some pastries. The place is very big, high ceilings, cozy and modern. The girl at the register was really sweet and gave me great recommendations on what pastries she loved. I will come back again because she swayed me to get the cinnamon roll over the carrot cake. My rating scale:0/5 = SPIT IT OUT1/5 = one bite is enough2/5 = two bites is enough3/5 = decent 3.5/5 = decent but tastier 4/5 = so good 4.5 = almost 5/5 good5/5 = LADY GAGA (inspired by her interview meme "talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before.")Let's begin.Chocolate chip cookie: exactly what I look for in a classic cookie. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. No excessive chocolate chips. 5/5Cowboy cookie: I did not catch this one on the display case so I am happy the girl recommended it. It did not disappoint. Great texture and you can taste the oatmeal! It isn't overpowered by the chocolate. 4.5/5Confetti cookie: This one sadly let me down. I am HUGE on birthday cake/confetti/sprinkle cookies. The taste of birthday was there but very subtle. What was the biggest critique was the texture. It was a crumbly cookie, leaning towards shortbread. It didn't have the same texture as the chocolate chip cookie that most confetti cookies do. 1/5Snickerdoodle cookie: The flavor was nice but also a texture problem and way too much cinnamon sugar. 2/5Brownie: What I look for in a brownie is leaning towards the texture of cake instead of hard candy. However, even if this one was super dense, the poignant but not overwhelming chocolate taste helps it. 3.5/5 Cinnamon roll: Another great recommendation. Usually with cinnamon rolls, most of the bread is saved by the cream cheese frosting. Not the case here. The roll itself is soft and with an AMAZING cream cheese frosting (a pretty big size dollop serving too). 5/5Orange olive oil loaf: I feel this is their main star. Moist with a great glaze on top. I think when you see it in person, you know it will simply taste divine. 5/5Blueberry ricotta loaf: the visual caught my eye. I expected more from it though and a bit too hard but the flavor is alive with a hint of lemon and the powdered sugar on top is a nice touch. 3.5/5Triple chocolate ganache cake: Aside from the confetti cookie, this was the other I was most excited for and it disappointed on every level. I have made several chocolate cakes to understand that espresso powder or hot coffee is used to enrich the flavor but I fear either the recipe requires too much or someone accidentally over-measured the espresso/hot coffee because this cake was a coffee cake ft. chocolate, not the other way around. Not only the flavor, but the cake itself was drenched and lightly dripping from so much coffee in it. 1/5 I know we ended on a sour note BUT I would gladly visit again. Plus, like I stated above, a 1/5 rating is not a "spit it out" rating. Overall, this place has some great dessert options and a great chocolate chip cookie. They also have a good-looking menu from breakfast to pizza. Riverside, Burbank has some great hidden gems!

The pictures don't really do it justice. This is a very beautiful, quiet, romantic spot. The service is always really friendly and warm. The food, the menu needs some work for sure because there is not much there and not many options if you're gluten free which is a bummer. I feel like it has a lot of potential, this could easily be the place I have every catch up lunch or dinner with my girls until the end of time... we just need more options on that menu!

This is an adorable local spot to grab a casual breakfast or lunch bite. I have come here a few times, don't have to worry about a reservation because its new location is huge and they have plenty of seating options. At this visit I had the Chicken & Bacon Lettuce Cups and lavender French fries with the green ice tea. All were delicious. I have friends with dietary restrictions and all find something to eat here. They have a huge menu which seems to be on the healthy side of offerings. Service is excellent.

Famous for their breakfast/brunch/lunch on Riverside in Toluca Lake, I believe Sweetsalt just opened for dinner service over the past several months. Business must be good, as they've also expanded to a bigger, brand new location just a couple blocks down from where they used to be. Despite living within walking distance, my dinner here just a couple weeks ago was actually my first time stopping in. I'm glad I finally decided to visit, because the food is great!To eat, I ordered the Margherita "Wood Oven" Pizza. Priced at $20, it's not the cheapest in town, but the quality is certainly elevated. The size is also fairly substantial. The decor/ambience is warm and inviting, and while service was on the slower side, everyone was helpful and friendly. If looking for a nice spot to grab some food at around Toluca Lake, Sweetsalt is a solid option. I will likely be back soon to try more of their menu items.

I have been to Sweet Salt many times and it gets better with each visit. Not the food perse It could be someone on the staff who make the visit that much more fun, or a wine I've not tried before or they Bloody Orange sorbet. A stone cold gift from the dessert gods. Dayum but that was tasty. It's one of those places you just wanna go often. You should go even once, just to prove me right.

The truffle chicken sandwich was pretty good, and the olive oil orange loaf was amazing.

I've had their baked goods many times over the years. I've eaten lunch at their new location. But dinner was what I had been curious about. We popped in early on Saturday evening, before 6pm. We didn't have a reservation. The dining room was almost empty. Only one other table was occupied at the time. We ordered the beets and burrata salad and the spinach and artichoke dip with tortilla chips as appetizers. For our main course, we ordered the burger and the lobster pasta as well as the bacon and fig pizza. The pizzas are where it's at. The restaurant slowly began to pick up. More tables were seated and the majority of guests had ordered a pizza or two for their meal. Pizzas are the deal at Sweetsalt. They do a nice job on them. Staff were all friendly. Our server was kind and attentive, especially when it wasn't busy yet. The atmosphere is upscale casual. It's a good spot for the homeowners of Toluca Lake to walk down for dinner and walk home. It felt like a neighborhood spot where many of the patrons were locals of Toluca Lake. Parking lot behind the restaurant as well as street parking in front if you're lucky.

Sunday brunch rush with a couple of my favorite people and Riverside Dr was super busy in Toluca Lake. We had a couple other places in mind but they were packed. Blessing in disguise. We spotted Sweetsalt nearby and decided to check it out. And I'm glad we did. First, don't mind the sign that say "please wait to be seated." Lol. It's probably for dinner. Lineup, order, and find a table. The interior looks amazing. High ceilings. Different style tables, clean bathrooms. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food came fast, presentable, and yep, tasty. I got the egg hash with short rib. The stewed beef was tender and really good. I got a bite of the chicken pesto sandwich and that was a winner too. Then there's the chicken Caesar salad. Huge and needed a knife to eat it. My kind of salad.Sure, we had other places in mind. But now I can add this to that list.

Absolutely love the new location & expansion! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seaking, beautiful design inside and NOW they offer dinner! I loved the look of their wine cellar show piece, a nice long bar in the back with a pizza oven. The breakfast/lunch service is still fast casual style, where you order at the counter and sit, which I prefer. It's a no pressure place to meet a friend and stay a while. Smart move on their part to expand. Really looking forward to coming back to try their dinner menu.

First time here after hearing mixed reviews from friends. I see everything they meant. Went with a group of girls. In general pairing Olin this area can be a real pain. There is a lot behind the building. Ok. To the juicy stuff. This is an order at the counter set up. The menu looks impressive. Gives the impression it will be a little on the higher end cafe. Two of us ordered the avocado toast. HONEY... the ONE little piece of bread they served us was about as generous as food during the Great Depression. If it were any thinner, it would've broken when anything was smeared. The avocado was rationed, sloppily smeared, and had no taste. For $16 it came with a side salad. That was about 10 pieces of lettuce. HUGE disappointment. The picture looks better than it did in person. Another person got an omelet. I think it was $17. That was more generous. But.... The lemonade, lavender matcha and lavender latte were delish!! The person at the counter was twirling her first day. She did a great job and was a jovial spirit. Others were very neutral. Nothing negative to say about the service. Might be back for a latte, but not sure about overpaying for another meal. .
