“I’m not local but whenever I’m in town I wouldn’t eat pizza anywhere else. No other pizza will ever taste the same after having eaten Stuft. I thought I used to like red west but I was very mistaken. Sorry red, I’m sticking to my Stuft.“

“After a nice hike down to the cove, this was a welcoming and cozy spot to grab a coffee and soak up the beautiful California coastal atmosphere of Terranea Hotel and Resort. I've stayed at the resort and played some golf there as well. Most trips include a visit to Sea Beans. Staff is A+.“

All the ice cream flavors are not too sweet and extremely flavorful. He also said that they use whole ingredients for the flavors.

Love love loveeee the durian one“

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

“so fresh, well done boys! so much yum, heaps of yum.“

“Easily some of the best ice cream you will ever have! Handel's makes their ice cream fresh daily, and you can absolutely taste the difference—it is incredibly rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Their menu is massive, so there’s always something new to try, but you can’t go wrong with the classics or their seasonal specials. The portions are very generous for the price, and the service is always fast and friendly. It’s an absolute must-visit every single time I’m craving something sweet!“

“Best ice cream. Very popular and lots of people there but service is pretty quick. Banana Cream Pie is my favorite!“

“We had the good fortune of stumbling across Moom Maam gelato when deciding on someone to cater our company's summer event. The flavors were delicious and many were options that you really can't find anywhere else. Their homemade waffle crisp was a surprise hit as well (and gluten free!), and with several vegan options, they were a caterer that truly could have a little something for people regardless of diet restrictions. And despite the whopping number of flavors they brought (15!!) the lines moved along at a good clip--managing to serve hundreds within 2 hours--and the portions were generous.“

“Ken’s, is the best ice cream in the world! I think the loving attitude used to scoop it up, makes it extremely special! My grandkids started my journey with Ken’s, years ago. My oldest grandson is now 25 and the baby is 16. Whenever there is ice cream wanted in my house and they are around, it’s a trip to Ken’s! Watching it pass from one generation to another, has been a great thing for our community! One trip to Ken’s and you are hooked for life! I love the ice cream, and the beautiful spirit, of the people scooping it up! Nadine Gills-Ward, a loyal customer“

“Marsha was incredible. We were looking for someone who could provide all the dessert for our wedding, bring us something other than a traditional wedding cake experience, and also bring some extra flair to our big day. Marsha did all that and more. Our cake table was decorated so beautifully! She made the most delicious cupcakes of all different flavors for our guests to enjoy. She even made an ADORABLE cake topper for us that everyone raved about. In addition, Marsha made us a gorgeous, delicious, moist 3 layer cake , and she even was able to bring a ROLLED ICE cart too! People could not get over how cool it was to have rolled ice cream at our wedding, especially because Marsha had extra cupcakes to put in with the ice cream. She was so collaborative, easy to work with, and fun. Everything we asked her to do, she accommodate, often gently giving her sage advice along the way. We could not possibly recommend Marsha any higher than we do. She is absolutely incredible and soooo many people raved about their experience with her at our wedding. 10/10 for everything!!“

“NO MEMBERSHIP FEE TO JOIN ILLUMINATI), I promised Jackson Peter that I am going to share my testimony on how he finally helped me to join to Great Illuminati brotherhood, I was deeply strangled up by“

“Have been here twice with my 3 kids and each time was a 10 out of 10 experience. The second time was a charm because the young owner was there and she was very patience, informational, professional, and polite. I again stood there deer in headlight looking at the menu in awe of all the amazing options..she had to help me out. She helped me single out what I was truly in the mood for and nailed it.
The portions are big back satisfying..lol and the taste is chef's kiss. Have a sweet tooth this summer.. go see baby girl and all her loaded options.
My son likes the ice cream tacos.. my oldest baby girl likes the cheesecake milkshake..my middle baby girl loves the rolled cold slab options. I enjoy the Milkshakes personally.“

“I love this location besides frozen yogurt they have a variety of other options that you can pick from. It’s very economical compared to big brand frozen yogurt chains. We got three frozen yogurt with three toppings each along with an açai bowl and it came to be under $20. The lady was very professional and nice. We will be returning again. Great customer service. Thank you“

“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.“

“You know this place is great when there is always Aline. Yes the line goes fast as your getting a tasty ice cream . There are afew tables to sit at too“

“The perfect escape from a hot Cali day!!!
The two employees who were working behind the counter, were slammed with orders, but never once did either show any frustration or bad attitude. Customer service was top notch.
My husband and I ordered the large shaved ice with 2 fresh fruits, we got the strawberry and mango!!! Super yum!!! 😋“

“My very own “DOUBLE RAINBOW 🌈!!!! Always amazing here!“

“Love this place!������� come here like two times a week!“

“I’ve been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The service is always friendly, the food is top-notch, and the pastrami sandwich is hands down the best in the South Bay. If you haven’t tried this spot yet, you’re seriously missing out!“

“Everything it’s good there!“

“The guys that work there are really nice and helpful“

“The Baseline: For a fast serve yogurt place, the frozen yogurt must be of good quality, the toppings must be varied and fresh, and the service must be efficient.

Food: Pinkberry as a chain has a good, consistent soft serve frozen yogurt. They have a good variety of flavors and the toppings are fresh and quality. The serving sizes are good and priced accordingly.

Service: The night we went we had great service and it was fast/efficient. The portion size served was really good.

Ambiance: This is a standard Pinkberry set up and the inside was clean and well kept. The outside area is well lit at night and felt to be a safe environment.“

“One of the favorites now for ice cream. The around the world ice cream bar has a great variety. The server was friendly and I loved that we were able to taste different flavors prior to choosing and that she was able to answer questions about the flavor combos and where they got the inspiration from.“

“Best mango sorbet I have ever had, it’s a hidden gem because I wouldn’t have realized it’s worth coming here over the ice cream shop next door if it weren’t for passersby eating their sorbet. It’s made from real fruit and does not taste like there is added sugar (even though there may be). Will be coming back here every time“

“International Ice Cream has so many options to choose from! They carry Thrifty Ice Cream, which is always a plus. The owners are very nice and incredibly polite, and the portions are generous. I had pineapple coconut and black cherry, which tasted just like I remember from childhood. Great variety, great service, and a wonderful place to treat yourself. Highly recommend!“

“Enjoyed a healthy snack after a hard day’s work, having a good Sunday night with my best friend, Briana’s service was top of the line!“

“they have all. flavors,you do not which to choose. and the place its clean.“

“I loved my experience at Pur Bowls! You can completely customize your acai bowl, which I really liked. I chose an acai base with two kinds of granola and lots of fresh fruit — the toppings are pretty much unlimited! I also added almond butter on top, and it was delicious. Everything tasted super fresh, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The shop looks clean, modern, and nicely renovated — it feels brand new. It’s also connected to a Vietnamese restaurant next door, which is kind of interesting! I really enjoyed the outdoor seating area too. Highly recommend!“

“It’s Such a cute little store! It’s been amazing watching it come together. The owners have put so much care and effort into making it a welcoming place for the community. It’s clean, organized, and has a great selection. Wishing them lots of success with their new business — definitely worth stopping by! ❤ Ana P.“

“This my favorite froyo spot no doubt. I come here for their frozen watermelon and plain yogurt flavors. I work right next to a Yogurtland but if I'm being honest the flavors and variety here are WAY better. The texture of the yogurt is higher quality here.“

“Friendly staff. Went out of way to assist people. I also saw the team leader or manager working with his team and he was respectful and motivational with them. A big Beal for me.

Vegetarian options: Yes a stuffed mushroom burger and a veggie burger

Dietary restrictions: Let th know up front. Very willing to accommodate. I’m a vegetarian so I get it.

Parking: It’s a mall so easy parking

Kid-friendliness: Mall great for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Mall food court very accessible“

“porque me gusta el yogurt con fruta y nuecez.“

“had a fantastic experience at Baskin-Robbins in Palos Verdes. Amira was incredibly attentive, kind, and respectful while helping me choose my ice cream. The shop itself is spotless, with both indoor and outdoor seating—perfect for families. The air conditioning inside is a big plus, and they offer a variety of payment options, including Mastercard, Visa, and cash. Plus, you can conveniently order online! It’s also a great spot for birthday cakes or customized treats. Highly recommend!“

“Where do I begin? Well, I will say this is definitely not a bad ice cream parlor. The ice cream was creamy, cold, and really everything you would expect. We also got some churros, and might I add those were quite delicious. They were smothered with cinnamon sugar. Overall the prices were not terrible. I’ve seen better, more comparable prices.“
