"Sawtelle Japantown B Sweet will be serving out of a small kiosk in the center of Westfield Century City from now through the remainder of the holidays." - Matthew Kang
"Jina Kim had launched Blend Sweets as a cheesecake business while her friend Britney Wang had built a name for herself making baos as the Bao Bae." - Jean Trinh
"If you know B Sweet, you know Chef Barb Batiste. She opened the shop in April 2009, but her love of baking started as a kid - watching her mom make Filipino desserts, she’d bake chocolate chip cookies and other American desserts that she’d share with all the neighbors in her building. Early on in her career, Batiste worked at the Loews Hotel in Santa Monica as a pastry chef. But still nostalgic for the homemade desserts of her childhood, she started selling her chocolate chip banana bread to local businesses, which led to her starting B Sweet as a catering company. The brick-and-mortar in Sawtelle has been operating as pick up and delivery-only for the past year, and she said she’s been lucky to continue her catering business with clients like the Dodgers. Even with her success over the years, the face-to-face connection with her customers is still what she looks forward to most, and being able to have people gather at her shop safely once more. Until then, keep ordering ahead for pick up, or snag some sweets online that can be shipped nationwide. Order this: Any of their various bread puddings (Chef Barb’s favorite is the red velvet)." - with warm welcome, leslie yeh
"Barb Batiste, B Sweet/Big Boi in Sawtelle: “No, I’m not surprised about the re-closure of indoor dining. With many people not practicing safe distancing and not wearing masks to protect themselves and others, the number of cases continue to increase. We closed the first time with less Covid cases, what reason would there be for us all to open with the numbers now even higher.”" - Matthew Kang
