Dessert Restaurants near Gardena, CA

“BEST wagashi in the West Coast indeed!

I waited to try the other wagashi place we found in the Sacramento area before reviewing this place and therefore we conclude, they have the best mochis!

Staff is super friendly and kind 😭 would really love to go here again if ever we are down in SoCal!“

“If you’re a first timer like me, you might be doubtful entering the store just like my experience as it’s not like the door was open or you could peek through from outside. Nonetheless that’s probably the way you knew it’s legit as the store didn’t even come in gorgeous presentation or whatsoever. Just simple showcases and an attendant, with cash-only payment.

Nothing looked fancy, but abundant options of both mochi and manju. If you’re not familiar, prolly simplest way to differentiate is mochi comes in chewy texture while manju is more soft bread-alike. The filling they offered varied from red bean, white bean, even black one! I got their Kinako Mochi filled with black bean and covered in soy bean powder. One bite and WOW IT WAS BOMB! So good and totally cured my craving for the ones I had in Japan. I could totally tell the quality was stellar and it’s fully stuffed with luscious filling making the price tag paid certainly worth.“

“Really good stuff here. Really catchy and popular spot on weekend evenings. Recommended was the injeolmi flavor, which has red bean, tofu, and a someqhat coffee taste. This was a must get. The grape and strawberry for those who like fruity. Also had the cinnamon toast crunch, really good“

“I love this place I would travel so far just to try the cookies every week as they change flavors. It’s so exciting you have to try this place. Specially, in Inglewood the energy is so cool.“

“First time at any of their locations and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful
Very clean and quick

Parking: Enough parking around store

Wheelchair accessibility: Def wheelchair friendly“

“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‼️).“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“got a couple of cookies from crumbl. the one with the frosting and chocolate chips on top was super soft and had a nice balance of sweetness. the other cookie, with a simple but great flavor, was equally good. both were fresh and perfectly packed. if you’re into cookies with a rich, indulgent taste, definitely give these a try.“

“Friendly staff. great pie“

“Crumbl Cookies is amazing! Each cookie is perfectly baked—soft, warm, and so flavorful. The rotating flavors keep things exciting, and every visit feels like a treat. The presentation is beautiful too. Highly recommend for any cookie lover!

Parking: Great location with plenty of parking!

Kid-friendliness: Clean and kid friendly place.“

“Bombbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb“

“Authentic Italian Gelato with many vegan options. Specialty coffee and fresh baked croissants.“

“I absolutely love coming here for funnel cakes! My favorite is the Strawberry Sundae, with fresh strawberries and a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream on top—it is just heavenly. The portions are large, so I usually share with friends since it is hard to finish alone. Next time, I am excited to try one of the chocolate options.

The staff is always kind, and the place is clean and well-kept, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. Parking can be a little tricky at times, yet the amazing treats make it worth the small effort. Anyone who enjoys sweets will have a great time here and will likely want to come back again and again.“

“Recieved some for Valentine’s Day two large boxes & they wee gone in 12 hours & there are only 4 of us & we don’t eat a lot of sugary foods! They were actually delicious! I was pleasantly surprised! And when I read the ingredients, I was even more impressed because I didn’t see to many seed oils ie. Vegetable oils or any other toxic ingredients. I will definitely make this my go to place for birthdays and holidays, especially because they don’t use seed oils in place of butter (they had a few cookies containing some seed oils for frosting) but overall ingredients were quite good!
Thank you for using butter!“

“First time here. Loved it. Messy and good.“

“Carson Crumbl Cookies was amazing! The service was super quick, and my order came out fresh and warm. Every cookie was soft, delicious, and full of flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend if you want a sweet treat done right!“

“Do yourself a favor and add them to your list of sweet treats. This should be at the very top, because its satisfaction on so many levels. Customer service, taste, flavors and price without going to a fair. A big plus you can buy a fun-diggity funnel cake bag to go home.“

“Simply a wonderful ice cream and candy store with old school charm.

With different types of frozen bananas, cookies, and, of course, house-made flavored ice cream, this is a bit of a paradise. Personalized ice cream sandwiches also adorn the menu, or a nice ice cream shake.

For the seasoned, there are also hand-packed cartons available.

Their ice cream is something special. There are seasonal flavors and your old school favorites. The cartons change often, so multiple visits are warranted.

For an ice cream lover, I would have to say there is a good balance of overrun and fat content. The structure has a good, solid mouth feel without too much compactness. I especially like how their chocolate flavors give a sense of cocoa and not just commercial sugary chocolate. Seasonal flavors also fall in line with the same attention to detail.

Stay away from corporate-run chains and give your love for a cold treat to folks who have a passion for it.“

“I loved this place and I don’t ever make reviews but after trying this place out I had to make a review. The donuts are unique but the most delicious treat I’ve ever had. The boba and lemonade are also amazing they don’t lack on anything and I loved the food.“

“My favorite ice cream shop I take my baby here every morning before school to get her a snack.“

“This is a good choice when you want shave ice dessert the flavors are natural I’m allergic to a lot of colors and they don’t add any additives so if you were sensitive as I am, I has not reacted to anything that I have order there, which is very common with this desert. they had lots of colors this place doesn’t.“

“Needless to say, I think the ice cream here is pretty good“

“Best gluten free treats around! It's a small shop, but I love the vibe! I can't wait to order my birthday cake and party treats!! Parking can be tough at times...but street parking is available!“

“Great food. Funnel cakes. Churros. All fire. They have everything fresh and fresh made. Their ingridients are high quality from mexico. Very good. I tried the churros two days back to back couldn't get enough because it tasted so healthy. Not so sugary even tho it has strawberry syrup and lechera and all that surgery stuff. It was great. You can asd has fruits like Mango,strawberries,blueberries,banana to your churros and funnel cakes and ice cream as well all delicious . I would recommend anyone trying to hit a churro spot that taste like organic right here. Fire. It's not vegan tho. It just fesh products with less processing stuff really top notch high quality. Everyone come visit this place for some desserts ????“

“This is my first time trying thier product... all I can say is it's absolutely amazing! wish we had this type of idea in Canada!!“

“I love the creme cheese with strawberries crepe, and the churros with a side of vanilla ice cream 😁“

“The best tasting food and best ingredients for the menu items. Fred“

“First time having a MOCHI DONUT. Flippin’ awesome, and couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re a pastry lover.“

“Super kind and friendly owners. Delicious Antojitos! Elotes/esquite , Hot Cheetos w/Cheese , Raspados (try the Fresa w/vanilla add lechera), bionicos and more! They do not sell Liquor but they do sell/prepare Michelada Cups (Liquor store down the street). They accept Zelle & Hours vary some days.“

“I have to say this place is family business and one of the best places to get churros, chocomilk, fried Oreos and they also have Mexican food.
They have taco al carbon estilo Tijuana, Quesadillas a mano, Birria and many more things on the menu.
Love this place
I have to come back again soon.“

“Kings Hawaiian food bakery restaurant is one of my top three places to go eat I recommended highly to anyone that can drive out to the nearest Kings Hawaiian restaurant enjoy life“

“My quest for vegan churros has ended in this quaint churro spot in South Gate. I’ve driven many times down Santa Ana and not seen this place - 4 months has this establishment has been open and it is now my spot for churros and horchata coffee. The lady is nice and welcoming . She made fresh churros for me and the taste was unforgettable. The fact they’re vegan makes it even more delicious. I’ll be back for more and more.“

“I LOVE this cute little cozy place! SOMISOMI is such a unique ice cream chain that makes their ice cream with such care and the quality is amazing. The cherry on top is the amazing tayaki that goes on the icecream that you can treat yourself to (I recommend the nutella filling) Also props to placing this area in the del amo mall me and my family love this place and we go here all the time! I got the usual order of Ube and banana (You can choose two flavors!) With Nutella tayaki and a cute little macaroon that gives it that amazing style!“

“Great Donuts and good service.The man is nicer than the lady, she sort of rushes you to pick which Donuts you want and acts like you're irritating her..Their donuts are actually better than Randy's which everyone makes a big deal about when the donuts are really just okay..King donuts are always fresh and tasty.. I wish they would take more care to create signs that were written in proper English though.. For example; they have one sign that says Buniness when it's supposed to Business.... and there are multiple other that are written in fractured English..“

“Great service as well. Love all the Desserts 🍨“

“Cookie Cravings Guaranteed!

If you’re on the hunt for warm, gooey cookies stuffed with ice cream, this place is an absolute must. The cookies here look amazing and taste even better—they’re the kind of treat that makes you close your eyes and say wow after every bite.

Honestly, be careful… it’s way too easy to get hooked. I’ve definitely picked up a new cookie habit thanks to this spot, and I’m not even mad about it.

These might just be some of the best cookies I’ve ever had in my life. Go try them—you’ll thank me later!“
