“As others have said, don’t let this inconspicuous shop fool you. These mochi have incredible flavor and texture, and while they are a few dollars a piece, I think hand crafted sweets deserve a little support, no?

The person that helped me was friendly and explained the various flavors so I could fill a 10pc box with a variety. My favorites were the pink mochi and imo manju. Bring cash!“

“Refreshing Korean shaved ice with fruits. (Not to be confused with Hawaiian shaved ice.) The price tag appears a little steep for ice at first glance, but it is more substantial in content and presentation, so it is not as bad in the end. A better price point would be a dollar less.“

“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.“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“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‼️).“

“This place is definitely under New management. I can tell the difference on my.previous visits. The new staff and service was excellent!
I’m very pleased with the cookies were so soft and fresh and looked incredible, the staff was really hospitable too. Thank you so much. I’m happy to see the changes.“

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

“I feel bad for the one and only employee working there today who's coworker left her with no cookies baked and unable to fulfill the orders. She did the best she could and was apologetic and explained the lack of product. Need to have more than one person running a store like this.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Loved the homemade ice cream and cookies! The attendant was super sweet as well. Highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“There was a lot of really great options for ice cream, including the make your own ice cream sandwich. I would highly recommend that if you do go with the sandwich that you have them make it fresh and not grab one from the case. It’s really close to the pier so you can grab one and head down to the pier for sunset or just hang out in the same area and enjoy the ice cream and people watch.“

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

“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.

“Wow. Something’s gotta be in them because they’re perfect! Hands down the best! Was annoyed at the tiny size of chocolate sauce that came on the side but quickly realized they’re perfect without it.
Worth the drive. Worth the wait.“

“Very lovely food stand by a kind family! Crepes are freshly made and you can customized however you like. They have a great selection of syrups and toppings, and you can add banana and/or strawberry for fruits. And you can layer some ingredients inside and on top of the crepes. Definitely would come back to try the mini pancakes!“

“Amazing place!! A MUST PLACE TO STOP AND HAVE YOUR TASTE BUDS REJOICE 😋
I am trying to find out what they DON'T have because the options here are UNLIMITED 😅 Come by, stop by and enjoy!!! I came from La Puente just for a Churros con Helados! And they have Bolis! If you know, you KNOW!“

“Known this place since they started at the front of their house. Followed them all way to their new establishment off of PCH and the taste has been so consistent. Went in today and they were nice enough of give me a free coffee cake. And my goodness was it so good with their Spanish coffee“

“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“

“It’s not too often that I stop at a Michoacana store, but this location somehow always manages to serve everything with a positive and enthusiastic attitude everytime I stop by to buy something! Most stores usually have little to not much variety, but this location always has something in store for everyone! It has flavors for ice cream that other locations don’t seem to have. They always try to introduce something new and refreshing that anyone can and will enjoy! Whenever I have entered this store, they always have fresh corn for an esquite or fresh fruit for hot summer days. If you’re looking for something fresh and tasty to eat, while being served by enthusiastic employees, I HIGHLY recommend visiting this store! It’s a must!!“
