Dessert Restaurants near Gardena, CA

“Chikara Mochi is a childhood favorite store. The mochi is so beautiful! With so much attention to detail it’s hard to eat lol. Moreover, the service is always fantastic when I go there. The way they welcome the customers feels so wonderful in comparison to other long-standing mochi shops (like Fugetsu Do; where sadly, service pales in comparison). Chikara Mochi highly recommended!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

Staff is friendly.
Very similar to other Crumbl locations.
Yummy cookies and drinks.

Today, I tried their Dirty Soda. They have six types. I chose the Sunshine Sipper. It was sweet and refreshing.“

“Bombbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb“

“Friendly staff. great pie“

“Shout out to Michael! He was so nice, and really made my first Chip Cookies experience worth it! I can’t wait to go back, these cookies are so good! I feel like we’re already friends! Thank you again Michael for making this Chip Cookies visit so great!“

“If you are in the mood for something sweet, then look no further. Sticky Icky Funnel Cakes on Artesia near Atlantic will satisfy your feet tooth cravings and more. They have a bunch of other good good stuff like fried Oreos and twinkies, slushees, smoothies and iced coffees. Sweet staff as well.“

“We make a stop for a churro every time we are in town. They’re the best.“

“The perfect escape from a hot Cali day!!!
The two employees who were working behind the counter, were slammed with orders, but never once did either show any frustration or bad attitude. Customer service was top notch.
My husband and I ordered the large shaved ice with 2 fresh fruits, we got the strawberry and mango!!! Super yum!!! 😋“

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

“If you are strolling down Manhattan Beach Boulevard toward the pier, Manhattan Beach Creamery is the definitive spot for a classic coastal ice cream run. Located just a block from the ocean, it combines a retro, pastel candy-shop aesthetic with serious homemade frozen treats“

“Came down for the night with friends and found this amazing churro stand. Immediately was greeted kindly as if we were friends.
The churros ARE INSANELY GOOD! Not to doughy, not hard and they were still soft the next day after being in the box, on the table all night.

The presentation was impressive. The churros were not over cooked or greasy. The oil the churros were cooked in was not old. The sugar and cinnamon were quality.

Not enough going things to say about this experience except Ncal needs this churro experience locally and WE ARE DEFINITELY COMING BACK!“

“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“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ????“

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

“Small coffee shop with fresh baked goods that will have you wanting to come back in another hour. I had the Ube Matcha Latte with oatmilk and it was delicious!! I wanted to try one of there baked goods but they informed me that all of their baked goods have dairy. I can't wait to go back to try another beverage!!“

“1000/10 service/experience/treatment!!! Gabriela is such an amazing server. She treats everyone with respect and kindness. Even with 5 people in line she effectively shows how to multitask and give an equitable service to everyone!! Shoutout to her!! ✨💫✨“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Came for the coffee cake! 😄

From the very first bite, I was instantly transported back to elementary school—the kitchen, the lunch ladies, and all my classmates. I honestly had to hold back tears because this coffee cake tasted exactly how I remembered it... absolute perfection. ❤️

Next up was the breakfast burrito, and I had no idea there was such a thing as the perfect level of crispiness until now. The bacon was perfectly crispy, and the tater tots were beautifully golden brown. 🤤

And finally, because we had to try it... 😂 the chorizo avocado toast! The chorizo was so perfectly seasoned and cooked, it would've earned a nod of approval from any Apaaaa' and Amaaaa'. 🙌 Paired with the Spanish coffee, the whole experience was elevated to another level.

I seriously had to sit there for a minute and reflect—and thank the IG universe for sending me their way. 😂

It goes without saying... 10/10 recommend! 👏❤️“

“Best mochi sweets a hidden treasure of sweets from Japan“

“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.“

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

“Came around 9am and got a few donuts along with a bacon, egg and cheese croissant. Donuts were nice and soft, perfectly glazed. It reminds me a lot of my aunt's donuts and I always thought she made the best donuts in the family compared to the rest of the family on both of my parents side. The croissant sandwich is good too, it has mayo, scrambled egg and bacon on a big croissant. It's good value for what you get, it's not toasted or packaged like you would get at any upscale coffee shop, but I still think it's good for a quick fix. Having grown up in a donut shop and being around family who also owned donut shops for 40+ years, I understand all the work and effort that goes into operating a donut shop. Whoever is the baker here at this donut shop is doing a wonderful job at making the donuts. Kudos to the operators for getting the right flour for the donuts as well.

All in all I think this is a great donut shop with a good selection of items without having too many things to sell like some other locations. I would come back here again if i had a hankering for donuts while I'm in SoCal.

But this is a nice quaint donut shop, and if you like softer donuts this is the place for you. But if you like the tougher donuts then I wouldn't recommend this place. The price seemed reasonable to me, especially with the cost of flour going up; it's justifiable in my opinion. There is no inside seating; only take out. The people working were friendly enough as well. If you got time, definitely give this place a try. Parking looks to be small but it wasn't packed like i had expected when i walked in that morning.“
