Dessert Restaurants near Santa Monica, CA

“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.“

“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“

“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. 🍪“

“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“

“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.“

“The dessert box was a big hit even by seasoned bakers. The kids claimed their favorites first. I highly recommend saving your host time and worry. Take the best. My host had a sneak bite and energized with a huge smile to greet her guests with a huge smile knowing the grand finale was going to be stunning and delicious! BIG HIT“

“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 :)“

“Fast shipped, accurate delivery status updates, protectively packaged, exquisitely artistically made with fresh top quality ingredients. How do they taste?...🤤🤤🤤 I highly recommend Maya's and I would definitely buy them again!!!“

“Really cute spot with a great variety of flavors! I got Matcha Oreo, which had a nice strong matcha taste that wasn't overpowered by the sweetness, and also sampled Ube Coconut. I was just visiting Burbank, but next time I'm in town I wanna order a drink because they sound really good too!“

“the grapes are great!!!!!“

“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!“

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

“There was a lot of really great options for ice cream, including the make your own ice cream sandwich. I would highly recommend that if you do go with the sandwich that you have them make it fresh and not grab one from the case. It’s really close to the pier so you can grab one and head down to the pier for sunset or just hang out in the same area and enjoy the ice cream and people watch.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Never had bread pudding before I paid this place a visit. Never knew how spectacular it is. B Sweet has a number of different flavors & every one is a treat. I have been here a number of times & will occasionally get cravings. It's probably a good thing I don't live closer, otherwise I'd be here every other day.“

“Stumbled upon this little hole in the wall spot run out of an Italian restaurant. I think they were possibly not open for the day yet, but the owner was very sweet to invite me inside anyway. Amazing list of options on the bakery menu; Italian desserts and other sweet treats, I was very impressed. This little local gem must be loved by the area. I didn’t check out the actual restaurant menu, but if the service is any guide, I am betting it is good. I shall return.“
