Dessert Restaurants near Marina Del Rey, CA

“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!“

“I had been wanting to come here for a long time and try the gluten free birthday cake. It did not disappoint!“

“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‼️).“

“Absolutely delicious! I had the Nutella filled cake cone with cookies and cream“

“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!“

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

“Delicious, open late, good Bingsoo and honey toast!!!“

“The pastries taste as good as they look for sure! The Earl Grey macaron is absolutely the best. The pistache was good...not super sweet. I dropped the box so I can't show you a pic unfortunately. The staff is also really sweet and patient.“

“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.“

“Give me an IV filled of their “blockshakes” and I don’t need another meal - ever. Sooooo good, must try. And the unique shaved ice it’s not like any shaved ice I’ve tried in the USA. Really clean ingredients. Highly recommend. Can’t wait till they open more locations. Every city should have one. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-22“

“delicious. adorable highly recommend“

“The best non dairy ice cream in LA! For me it’s like a thick slurpee but better“

“Very delicious!!! Generous portion and courteous service. They use iced bowl - actual concrete ice in the shape of a bowl to serve the shaved ice that is so refreshing, perfect amount of sweetness, and fluffy in texture. Highly recommend!
P.S. They give free sample as well :)“

“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!“

“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!“

“the grapes are great!!!!!“

“I been waiting for a long time for this moment love shave ice I just tasted it is delicious:)“

“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.“

“Pretty good bingsu! Not the best I've had but not bad either. We had the hojicha flavor and it was refreshing. The almond croissant was nothing special though, kind of tasted like it had been sitting there for a while so I don't recommend it. Probably stick with the bingsu and drinks.“

“Creamery really rises to the cone-casion — pun intended

Creamery is a true Manhattan Beach institution. Generations of locals have ended beach days here, and it’s easy to see why. While the ice cream is excellent, the real star is the legendary ice cream sandwich—freshly baked cookies wrapped around generous scoops of ice cream. Simple, messy, and absolutely worth it.

The atmosphere is casual and friendly, with that classic Southern California beach-town charm. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime local, Creamery is one of those places that never seems to go out of style.

Pro tip: Order the ice cream sandwich, no questions asked. Then take the short walk to the pier or the Strand—it’s the Manhattan Beach tradition you didn’t know you needed.“

“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.“

“Delicious flavor! Staff was nice. Prices decent. My only qualm is that I thought I ordered both deluxe but got a classic smaller size for one of the cookies. It was only my second time at an Insomnia Cookies so I wish the person helping me had clarified which size I wanted for my chocolate chunk since it comes in different sizes.“

“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!!“

“My favorite place to hang in LA. The staff is super sweet, the food is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, particularly the Ginger Margarita, the atmosphere is gorgeous—whether you’re inside the stunning deco bar or outside on the beautiful patio. It’s a true gem.“

“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.“

“Cassetta is a modern dessert spot featuring a unique concept and well-designed interior. The ice cream is beautifully presented, however the flavors leaned quite sweet for our preference. The toppings are fun and artistic, but they add little in terms of flavor and serve more as visual accents. This is a place best appreciated for its concept and presentation rather than the ice cream itself.“

“The best cookie shop I’ve ever tried! The staff is incredibly friendly and always greets you with a warm welcome. The cookies are fresh, soft, and absolutely delicious. You can really tell they care about quality and customer service. I highly recommend this place—definitely worth a visit!“

“2026-June

I’m not sure if they have parking close by since we walked from a parking garage a few blocks away. We arrived a little late, but the staff were still accommodating and friendly.

The halo‑halo was good, and overall the visit was okay. A simple spot for a quick dessert, especially if you’re already in the area.

Ice cream... yummy 😋“

“The ice cream is amazing and the customer service is excellent. I will definitely be a regular customer.“

“Decided to try this place out and ordered late night dessert/sweets from this place for delivery because my pregnant wife was craving. Was impressed with their wide selection and how everything was professionally packaged. Was at my door within 30 minutes of ordering - not bad especially in LA with this traffic!“

“I used to love Beard Papa's and would come here regularly a few years ago. Back then, the cream puffs tasted much fresher and more flavorful. Unfortunately, my recent visits haven't been the same. The quality seems to have gone down, and the cream filling just doesn't taste as good as it used to. The staff is still friendly, and the location is convenient, but the product itself isn't what I remember. I hope they can bring back the quality that made this place special.“

“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.“

“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“

“Great place to have ice cream or drinks and bests. You can make the hole cons ready yourself with whatever toppings you want, ranging from a simple 128 and a 1/2 dollars over a complete 1 at 12 and a 1/2 the final cake, it's simply superb cones are very fresh and with the weather. It feels like big treat, amazing footfalls and great service“

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

“I ordered the Bash Roll, and it was absolutely amazing! The crepe and chocolate were a perfect blend, and the fresh fruits complemented the flavors beautifully. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I would definitely order it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet treat!“

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