Dessert Restaurants near Encino, CA

“The dessert box was a big hit even by seasoned bakers. The kids claimed their favorites first. I highly recommend saving your host time and worry. Take the best. My host had a sneak bite and energized with a huge smile to greet her guests with a huge smile knowing the grand finale was going to be stunning and delicious! BIG HIT“

“OK, it’s cookies, not pastries… but oh, my, oh, my!! Delicious, imaginative cookies. We went in for 2, came out with a dozen (+ 1 for a baker’s dozen‼️).“

“Manager Marissa made delivery order while at Encino store which generally has very very poor service and makes lots of mistakes with no responsive management. However the day Marissa was covering for that store my cookies were the very best I have experienced. She was supposed to respond to my email and did not but did a great job on my delivery order and given my recent delivery issues I appreciate that she made sure my order was fresh and correct“

“Delicious ice cream and best red bean paste! We can’t wait to go back!“

“Great cookiesss tryna get points lol“

“Delicious flavors! I love them 😍 will have to visit more often“

“As a Parisian girl who grew up eating incredible pastries, I have very high standards. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve tried so many bakeries across the country, and I can confidently say: Artelice does not play around!

Their pastries are perfectly executed—from the flavors and quality of the ingredients to the beautiful presentation. Everything is refined, balanced, and visually stunning.

The best pastries I’ve had in the U.S. so far. Bravo to the Artelice team! 👏“

“My review is for the new thin cookies.
I went during the free thin cookie giveaway and bought the Dubai style chocolate cookie. $7 for 2 thin cookies. I got the brownie batter and it was great, falling apart but good. Taste wise for Dubai chocolate was also good. Cookie quality in terms of taste is not the issue. I love chewy cookies but I'm giving it 3 stars for value and also how my cookies stuck together by the time I got home, which was less than 2 miles, so packaging fail. The ladies working at the shop was nice and quick. But $7 for 2 filmsy cookie is a bit expensive in my opinion.“

“The staff at Crumbl Cookies was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They were happy to walk me through the flavor options and gave me great recommendations. It’s clear that they love what they do, which makes the whole experience feel even more enjoyable. The service was quick, and I didn’t have to wait long for my cookies to be boxed up and ready to go.“

“Still absolutely amazing after all these years!

Staff is fantastic, churros are hot, fresh, and crispy, made the perfect way just like Miami or Spain or wherever! Coffees and drinks are all amazing.

I love this place and I wish they were closer! But I am happy to visit whenever I am nearby“

“These are hands down the best Crumbl cookies I’ve ever had. Every time I come to this location, the cookies are fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. The flavors are always on point, and you can really tell they take pride in what they’re making here.
What really keeps me coming back, though, is the consistency. No matter when I visit, the quality never disappoints. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the whole experience just feels worth it every single time.
I’ve tried other locations, but none compare to this one. This is officially my go-to spot, and honestly, I won’t be going anywhere else. If you’re thinking about trying Crumbl, make it this location—you won’t regret it.“

“I ordered these for my son's culture fair at school. He was presenting facts on Brazil and asked me to make 100 brigadeiros, which I had never done before. Instead I found this shop across the country and boy did I make the right choice. The classic chocolate brigadeiros were absolutely delicious and were a hit at my son's culture fair. The shipping was fast and Maya was the sweetest. Will definitely order again!“

“I been waiting for a long time for this moment love shave ice I just tasted it is delicious:)“

“My husband and I were visiting from Florida and originally came to this area for the tacos. While we were there we spotted this small churro stand and decided to give it a try.

First let me say that the price is probably one of the best i've come across at a churro stand. For just $8, you get eight full sized churros and one dipping sauce. Since it was our first visit, the owner even threw in an extra dipping sauce for us to try.

Now on to the churros they were delicious! You could tell the ingredients were fresh, and they were made to order right in front of us. The owner's recommendation to leave the box open helped keep the churros nice and crispy. We tried the strawberry and coconut dipping sauces, and both were great, but we preferred the strawberry or honestly, no sauce at all. The churros were that good on their own!

Lastly the owners are awesome. They're incredibly charismatic and you can tell they genuinely care about their business and take pride in the quality of their product.

If you're in the area definitely give this place a try!“

“Delicious flavor! Staff was nice. Prices decent. My only qualm is that I thought I ordered both deluxe but got a classic smaller size for one of the cookies. It was only my second time at an Insomnia Cookies so I wish the person helping me had clarified which size I wanted for my chocolate chunk since it comes in different sizes.“

“A room full of decadent, delicious chocolate. What more could you want?! 😋🍫🫕💝“

“Delicious ice cream and best red bean paste! We can’t wait to go back!“

“Their apples are so good!“

“My husband and I stumbled across this place tucked into the back of the Westfield mall. The lady who helped us was super friendly and the Rice Krispie treat was SO GOOD. I loved how soft and chewy it was. The fruity pebbles were nice and crispy. My favorite part though was that it didn’t tear the roof of my mouth. Will definitely be buying another one whenever I come to this mall!!“

“I went into this store early morning and Sara helped me. It being my 1st time here I did fall in love with your M&M cookie as well as the salted caramel.They were fresh and delicious and warm and gooey within every bite. Will be most definitely coming back. Thank you so much Sara for your help in helping me understand what your store offers.Will be signing up for the Rewards program most definitely.“

“2026-June

I’m not sure if they have parking close by since we walked from a parking garage a few blocks away. We arrived a little late, but the staff were still accommodating and friendly.

The halo‑halo was good, and overall the visit was okay. A simple spot for a quick dessert, especially if you’re already in the area.

Ice cream... yummy 😋“

“Great mom and pop place for anything juices, shaved ice , ice cream and hot chocolate!I got a Lulo juice,(not pictured) which is a subtle citrus yet earthy tea like shake that was right up my alley. I don't like overbearing sweetness. And since this shops main ingredients are 100% natural. It's perfect for my taste.I also got a shaved ice lemonade (pictured) which was perfect. I can taste the whole lemon essence with a perfect amount of sweetness!My brother got a hot chocolate (pictured) And it was phenomenal. A slightly gritty drink but all cocoa chocolate. Almost like a abuelitas chocolate mix. But way less sweet and more coco forward. Highly highly recommend.Overall if I lived near and frequented the mall I'd always get something from here. Please support them!!!!“

“Everything here is nice at first glance. Good coffee, pleasant service, and a cozy atmosphere. The only thing that really surprised me was the tables. They are so light and wobbly that leaning on one or even setting down your drink feels risky. It almost feels like a reflection of real life: everything looks beautiful, but there is nothing you can truly lean on. Replace the tables, and this place would be so much more enjoyable.“

“Dates and Nuts is the perfect gift for every occasion. Their perfectly elegant presentation and their delicacy makes them stand out among any other desert gifts! Everyone loves the delicious taste and they are asking me where I bought them from! Thank you Dates and Nuts!!!!“

“Freshly made churros at a great price and made with love—what more can you ask for?! Will keep coming back every time I’m in LA! Here are photos of the mirth the churros have provided my mom and I for all of internet posterity to stumble upon while searching for churros in the valley mwuahaha!“

“Well we bought the strawberry 🍓 cake on a restaurant and it was so delicious 😋“

“Ube Shave Ice and Uji Kintoki are worth the drive!“

“The shakes are not only beautifully made they’re also very delicious 😋“

“Stumbled upon this little hole in the wall spot run out of an Italian restaurant. I think they were possibly not open for the day yet, but the owner was very sweet to invite me inside anyway. Amazing list of options on the bakery menu; Italian desserts and other sweet treats, I was very impressed. This little local gem must be loved by the area. I didn’t check out the actual restaurant menu, but if the service is any guide, I am betting it is good. I shall return.“

“GLUTEN-FREE CHURROS! Enough said.“

“Checked this place out!!! Awesome place with sooo much unique and bold flavors you can't find elsewhere! Make sure you try their matcha pandan flavor! Bold and fragrant! 🍵 🇵🇭 🇺🇸“

“I love this place. Great baristas. Great espresso. Amazing Fizzy tea“

“La diversidad de sabores que tienen de nieve, las malteadas, prácticamente todo“

“I used to love Beard Papa's and would come here regularly a few years ago. Back then, the cream puffs tasted much fresher and more flavorful. Unfortunately, my recent visits haven't been the same. The quality seems to have gone down, and the cream filling just doesn't taste as good as it used to. The staff is still friendly, and the location is convenient, but the product itself isn't what I remember. I hope they can bring back the quality that made this place special.“
