Dessert Restaurants near Hawthorne, CA

“A bit disappointing that we came for the famous cookies yet for the week of Thanksgiving they were ONLY serving pies exclusively; not a single cookie.

The pies were very very good but it’s not what we came for and sadly we’ll be leaving before they begin selling the cookies again. 🍪“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“From the little I stole from my boyfriend, the ice cream was very delicious. The soft serve ice cream was smooth, creamy, and sweet. The taiyaki was light, crispy, warm and it was very nice. Maybe next time I'll order my own just for me.“

“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‼️).“

“When I think of Melo Melo, I think of a homey type of feeling of comfort. Not only are their desserts both delicious and the right amount of sweetness, it reminds me of my mom and grandma making Vietnamese desserts called Che where some have coconut milk and it just gives it the right touch of creaminess to the dessert. You can feel the love that was put in with each bite. For Melo Melo, even though it’s not che, I still get that same nostalgic feeling and my heart is full (and stomach too). They have a wide range of flavors, from different fruits, to jelly, to childhood favorites like ovaltine or oreo mixed with their signature coconut jelly, and more! They just came out with a Sunset Series, the Sunset Mango Coconut, Sunset Sticky Rice Coconut, and the Sunset Durian Coconut. I also grabbed a jar of Matcha Coconut to go. I love the fact that the desserts aren’t overly sweet and get the sweetness from the fruit or mix-in. The soothing coconut cream jelly/pudding consistency makes it a dream to slurp or in my case, inhale the entire thing. Also just upon opening the jar I have instant joy from seeing it jiggle jiggle! The Sunset Mango Coconut reminds me if a mango sticky rice dessert had a baby with coconut pudding. Genius! The Sunset Sticky Rice Coconut reminds me of the glutinous purple rice vietnamese che, with the coconut cream on top. Mmmm! The Sunset Durian Coconut.. OMG.. if you are a durian lover… yes! And yes!!! For you haters out there.. It is the king of all fruit.. Only kings and queens can handle it! Jk! It tastes fresh and not rubbery as if it was frozen and thawed. The durian was creamy and custardy, and then adding another layer of texture coming from the sticky rice, and POW some velvety coconut jelly to put it all together. My absolute fave! The matcha coconut was delicious and not too strong in matcha flavor. I’ve had where matcha was so overbearing and bitter that it was difficult to enjoy. Not this one! This one was super smooth and slurpilicious! Right amount of matcha, right amount of coconut where it doesn’t overpower the green tea, great texture and enjoyable! Yes I devoured that! Basically I inhaled everything because the desserts were light and not heavy! I can totally eat this for days!!! So whoever said they don’t have room for dessert.. that’s a lie because there is room for Melo Melo!“

“So glad I finally stopped by.

I tried a few things and everything was great. They have a few seats inside and offer coffee, hot chocolate, and other drinks. The hot chocolate wasn’t too sweet, which I really appreciated.

The croissant was very crispy with great flavor. I also tried the éclair au chocolat and a slice of galette des rois—both were a great discovery. Everything tasted really good and very close to what you’d find in France, which is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

I’ll definitely be back to try more pastries, and for sure another éclair au chocolat.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I love how beautiful everything is presented, truly works of art! Always fresh and delicious, so go early because they sell out quickly! Two versions of the Sakura mochi (not pictured because I forgot) are elegant and give you options for the traditional anko or the shiroan. You can count on polite, prompt service with each visit. They are CASH only, which I usually forget. Please go and support this small business that has been a Gardena favorite for decades!“

“Todo esta delicioso es primera vez que voy lo recomiendo esta delicioso 😋“

“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!“

“the grapes are great!!!!!“

“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.“

“I was introduced to La Michoacana about a year ago and I’ve been going back ever since. I’m always greeted with a smile and the selection is amazing. My favorite is the Mangoneada. This place always has parking, is clean and there’s always a table to sit and enjoy.“

“Every time I come in, they’re friendly, fast, and genuinely care about the customers. They remember orders, offer suggestions, and keep the place running smooth even when it’s busy. Their customer service is top-tier — the kind of employees who make you actually want to come back.

Both Brian and Gabe consistently go above and beyond, and the shop is better because of them. They absolutely deserve recognition and a promotion.“

“ice cream + mochi, not bad, not particularly good but not bad either“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“been here several times, best bingsu spot in the greater area. always get the mango (best when summer season for peak ripeness). thought the cinnamon toast was alright, the flavors without syrup can't really compete though. the chocolate crepe cake was also okay, though for the price you should just get bingsu.“

“This place is incredible. Plant based ice cream, smoothies. Healthy, eco friendly (sustainable cups and spoons), natural, fresh daily, even open late!

Original, organic. Made from scratch. Gluten free, soy free, vegan. What more can you ask for? And so tasty. Whipped cream weight, light.

This is the kind of place I like to support. Been here a few times and the servers are the NICEST, managers too!

The peanut butter prana with brownie is DIVINE. Even the child size cup will fill you up!

Today I went and server Jett Tierri was such a sweet caring person! I hope upper management can recognize their team - they're doing such a nice job. Makes us want to return.

Nice open space, plenty friends to bring around and chat for a snack or late night snack. Looking forward to try the smoothies too.

This is going to be a regular spot for me.“

“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!!“

“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“

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

“Simplemente Deliciosos todos los sabores � mmmmm!!“

“This is my GO TO place if I want delicious soft serve. Not only is it so flavorful, but the company goes above and beyond to be helpful with allergies. I’m able to easily look at their chart to see which flavors I can have. (Lactose free, gluten free, etc) they also have an option to add soft serve to cold brew. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Incredible. Everyone who works there is super sweet.

I wish they’d have a few more flavors available at any given time, but I understand why they can’t! Wishful thinking! ;)“

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

“First time finding vegan halo halo and I was blown away. This was the best thing I tried during my trip to LA. 100% recommend this place for your halo halo needs, vegan or not. Friendly and fast service too! Very nice area for all kinds of good food.“

“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!“

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

“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 fiance love the Valentine's Day box, and the cupcakes was delicious“

“I was absolutely thrilled to discover several hidden secrets in LA that serve pastries without being overly sweet! Their cream puffs strike the perfect balance of sweetness and are incredibly delicious. I accidentally ended up ordering the largest ones—a combo of chocolate and vanilla cream. They’re beyond amazing, but I have to say, the vanilla cream puff is an absolute must-try! Now I am going to stop here because just thinking about them and they’re making my mouth water! 😋“

“Looking for a delicious snack after ice skating? Try this dessert food truck which specialized in super delicious churros. The desserts are affordable. Other snacks are also sold such as candy. They charge an extra $1 for credit card transactions.“

“Loved it, not only it looks very cute but the fish filled with Nutella was delicious.“
