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.“

“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‼️).“

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

“Daisy at this branch is my new favorite banker! She's professional and while busy, always pleasant to deal with. I really miss Art, who used to manage this branch for many years, but it's good that the new additions to the staff are nice to deal with.“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“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.“

“Delicious flavors! I love them 😍 will have to visit more often“

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

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

“Still absolutely amazing after all these years!

Staff is fantastic, churros are hot, fresh, and crispy, made the perfect way just like Miami or Spain or wherever! Coffees and drinks are all amazing.

I love this place and I wish they were closer! But I am happy to visit whenever I am nearby“

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

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

“I’ve never had an ice cream dessert quite like this before! It was such a unique experience and absolutely delicious. It was a little messy to eat, but completely worth it. I’d definitely recommend coming here and trying it for yourself. I’ll absolutely be back to explore more flavors, especially the hojicha and matcha! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-25“

“This creamy, delicious ice cream hit the spot! The center well of tasty sauce just adds to the joy! The lovely owner clearly made each treat with love as they were thoroughly covered in the toppings. Making each bite more delectable than the last!
We sought them out in NY and were thrilled they are on the West Coast! We can’t wait to return.“

“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!“

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

“My son is moving into the neighborhood and after the drive/unpacking, we were both craving a treat on such a hot day.
We discovered Anko within walking distance of his apartment.
Wonderful service and cute ambience.
There is nothing like the fluffy and cloudy texture of binsu ice. I chose the pumpkin with red beans, to try something different. The flavor of the pumpkin was very subtle. I enjoyed the refreshing treat, not too sweet.
My son said that his iced matcha latte hit the spot.
I want to try that taiyaki next time I come to visit.“

“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“

“the grapes are great!!!!!“

“I love bananas but I don’t typically like chocolate covered bananas. I tried the s’mores banana and the chocolate was amazing. The overall presentation was very pretty and done by Devin with a lot of love and care. It changed my opinions about chocolate covered banana's“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“My favorite frozen yogurt spot! The Beautiful Blueberry flavor is TOP TIER, and I always get excited when they have it! Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious! It’s such a great spot when you’re craving something sweet! Definitely recommend Yoga-urt to anyone looking for a good vegan dessert spot!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Jennifer always gives me excellent customer service when I visit the store one more than one occasion she is the example of how customer service should be given .. she offers the different deals and very knowledgeable .. I will be back and refer family and friends .sarah is always taken care of the customers and given the same great customer service .“

“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!!“

“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“

“Everything here is nice at first glance. Good coffee, pleasant service, and a cozy atmosphere. The only thing that really surprised me was the tables. They are so light and wobbly that leaning on one or even setting down your drink feels risky. It almost feels like a reflection of real life: everything looks beautiful, but there is nothing you can truly lean on. Replace the tables, and this place would be so much more enjoyable.“

“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 😋“

“What I got:
Strawberry Matcha with Corn Flakes Crepes
Strawberry Banana Crepes
Matcha Mochi Ice Cream
Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream

I love this place! They offer 100 percent gluten free rice flour crepes! The ambiance is soo cute! Very small good for to go, there’s one table and a bench! I love crepes options! Service is fast and I was able to see how they make it soo cool!

The crepes 10/10
The matcha and strawberry were sooo good! The mochi is soo soft and chewy so delicious with matcha and strawberry ice cream! The crepes are my favorite, I love how you can eat it without feeling guilty because it’s gluten free! It’s super delicious, fruits are fresh. I will definitely comeback here and try their other menu! My go to dessert place in Torrance for sure 👍“

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

“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.“

“A room full of decadent, delicious chocolate. What more could you want?! 😋🍫🫕💝“

“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.“

“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“
