Street foodLocals' pick

An Armenian bakery known for ponchiks: fried-to-order doughnuts filled with custard, Nutella, jam or dulce de leche. LAist's Glendale guide sends you to the Central Avenue branch for a ponchik plus a bread boat, an open pastry topped with two eggs, cheese and basturma if you like.
