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“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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. 🍪“

“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.“

“delicious. adorable highly recommend“

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

“I had such a great experience at Mewame Shaved Ice! The shaved ice itself is absolutely amazing—light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness without being overwhelming. What really stood out to me is that everything is dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free, which makes it such an inclusive spot where pretty much anyone can find something they’ll enjoy. The variety of flavors is impressive, and each one tastes fresh and thoughtfully crafted.

Beyond the food, the space itself adds to the experience. The interior is charming, stylish, and has a really welcoming ambiance that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. It feels like a place that’s been designed with care, from the aesthetic details to the overall vibe.

You can tell there’s a lot of intention behind both the menu and the presentation. Everything feels high quality, from the ingredients to the way each shaved ice is put together. It’s easily some of the best shaved ice in town, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing treat—whether you have dietary restrictions or not. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more flavors!“

“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!“

“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 :)“

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

“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.“

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

“If you’re looking for a delicious matcha yuzu lemonade you have to try theirs. It’s not on the menu so you have to ask the baristas if they can make it. Whenever I go to coffee shops that have yuzu lemonade I always ask if they can add matcha to it. Anko’s is the best!!! Their matcha actually blends with the lemonade. It doesn’t taste weird and gritty. I would also absolutely recommend their taiyaki is also really nice and crispy and not too sweet!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Went there after dinner to try the cookies. They were warm and soft. Loved the s'mores cookie. We ate them right away and never got to take pictures. We went to the store and West Hollywood which is far from our house, but we just discovered that there's one a lot closer so we will be going back.“

“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 such a fun spot if you’re looking for unique drinks and treats. Their menu has so many creative options; from refreshing drinks to desserts and even soft serve ice cream. I tried a couple of their drinks and they were not only delicious but also beautifully put together.

The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. It can get busy at times, but I went when it wasn’t too crowded and the vibe was really nice, bright, airy, and very chill. Plus, they’re pet-friendly, which is always a big plus.

If you’re in the area and craving something on the sweeter side, I definitely recommend stopping by!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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! 😋“

“Cookies so good took a bite out of it and my toes curled , best cookies I’ve ever had and done even get me started on the ice cream id eat it every day if possible and cry while I take a bite of a cookie so delicious so soft so nice each bite I take each time i feel glory“

“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 service as well. Love all the Desserts 🍨“

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

“Honestly, this is one of my favorite late night spots in Culver City. I always get the crêpe with white and milk chocolate. The staff is always very accommodating and understandable of whatever orders I placed with them. I highly recommend this spot for any late night sweet toots out there you will not go wrong.“
