Jamba Juice Caribbean Passion--DELISH, especially after a hot walk around the Rose Bowl. Get an original size split in two and share with your partner.
Zona Rosa's Zona Sunrise--yummy orange, cranberry, grapefruit juice concoction. very pretty to look at but could have used more ice. love the outdoor seating.
A Korean BBQ place near Nogales and Colima across the street from New Garden. Can't remember the name. But it's new, cozy, and they use really good meats. I'm kind of sick of meat though. Overconsumption. Yuck. Read Wendell Berry.
Pho 79's Charbroiled Pork Pho---holy chihuahua it is so good.
And my top recommendation--the "Bisting" from Europane. I can't find the actual reference online but that's how it is said phonetically. It's a traditional German coffee cake and yowee it is absolute perfection. A thick square of spongy bread (almost like plain foccacia) brushed with a golden custard and drenched in crunchy glazed almonds. Just the right balance of texture and sweetness. Ask for the inner slice if you love almonds.
Edit: It's the Bienenstich cake or Bee Sting cake as some seem to call it.

Oh my gosh, those first two you listed are my favorite, too. I actually routinely mix cranberry and orange juice as a result of the zona drink. And pho 79 pork is great too. You have some good taste, woman. Ok, back to work, for real.
