Dessert Restaurants near Hawthorne, CA

“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.“

“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..“

“Customer service is amazing. I am visiting from NY and would 100% recommend coming here. I wanted to stop in for the viral fruit pastries, after being disappointed at different bakery called Altadena Bakery. I got the mango one and it was amazing. My boyfriend also got a cappuccino which he enjoyed and we both got complimentary macaroons which were excellent. If you want to try the fruit pastries definitely come here!“

“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“

“Good selection with interesting flavor options such as peach (limited) , matcha, sesame and Ube. I personally like softer ice cream more but this is a very popular Korean inspired ice cream place that has a very thick and rich
Favorite menu item: Cold Brew Float“

“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‼️).“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“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!“

“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“

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

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

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

“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!“

“the grapes are great!!!!!“

“This is said to be the oldest and most beloved mochi shop in the area.

We picked up a 10-piece assortment that included ohagi, injeolmi mochi, steamed buns, and various manju.

The store itself looks like it’s barely hanging on—honestly, you might walk right past it if you didn’t know what you were looking for.
But the flavors are simple, clean, and feel homemade. No artificial aftertaste or overpowering sweetness—just old-school comfort.

I especially liked the ohagi and the cinnamon manju.
One of my companions loved the injeolmi mochi and also the cinnamon manju, while another really enjoyed the steamed bun and the white bean-filled manju.

If you appreciate traditional flavors and a nostalgic, home-style vibe, this place is worth checking out.“

“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.“

“It’s a dog eat dog dessert war zone over in sawtelle and Brian’s shaved ice is as much of a contender as any other. It’s simple, if you like shaved ice with tropical flavors, you go to Brian’s shaved ice. They are pleasant and the service is quick. I’d only every place locked in and specialized in one such speciality such as this.“

“A must-visit every time I'm in Santa Monica. The flavors are so fresh, and the variety is fantastic! My favorite is the tantric tart, which tastes like lemon pie! Their vanilla is also something special. They have some amazing herbal flavors too, like lavender and fresh mint, that you probably won't see anywhere else. You can even sample all the flavors before you decide. There are lots of toppings to choose from, including brownies! Updated from previous review on 2025-09-01“

“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!“

“Yummy Japanese dessert spot! I’ve seen it get pretty busy during the day, but at night it wasn’t too crowded—perfect for a post-dinner treat. We tried two taiyakis and an upside-down soft serve with black sesame filling (ube + matcha swirl). Highly recommend going for the swirl when it’s available—it’s such a good balance of flavors. The black sesame taiyaki was delicious, but the green matcha custard could’ve used a stronger matcha flavor. Overall, a fun and satisfying dessert stop I’d come back to!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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! 😋“

“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.“

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

“Waffle was perfectly made. Not too doughy and not too sweet, and a lot of choices for everyone in our family to enjoy! 💛“

“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 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.

“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!“

“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.“

“Oh wow!! Just had the 5” apple pie and it was absolutely incredible! It was perfect! Better than any pie I’ve ever had and my 84-year-old mom said the same thing. THIS is what pie is supposed to taste like!“

“It was a warm day and boba sounded great. This spot was on the way and it was a solid drink spot.

I had their strawberry matcha latte with boba and red bean. It was delicious and very refreshing. Now too sweet because you can choose the sweetness level, overall a solid boba spot.

I’d definitely come back to this spot again to try their other menu items.“
