“My friend took me to the cutest musubi shop after our Pilates class! I asked the guy working there and who was Japanese which one he recommended and I ended up trying the miso beef and the curry pork musubi. Both were so delicious and of course I saw the lychee oolong boba tea so I had to try that too. The staff are super friendly service was quick and the food was yummy! I’m definitely recommending this spot to more people and can’t wait to come back!“

“THE best ice cream in LA. I love how seasonal they keep their flavors. You can tell from each bite how high quality the ingredients are that they use. Every flavor is always so creamy and flavorful, but it’ll never make you feel icky after eating it!
I also am celiac and have never had a reaction after eating here :)“

Hailing from Santa Barbara, they've expanded to several Southern California locations. Plus, they offer pints for sale if you're looking to bring a taste of their delicious ice cream home.“

“Dylon was so friendly and welcoming! Clearly loves his job and made the experience great already. Price for a 4 scoop sampler was very fair (and with so many flavors love the opportunity to have a sample flight of flavors!) Ice cream was delicious (buckeye, butter pecan, strawberry cheesecake, brownie dough) Very generous portions! Buckeye was a fave“

“Hands down this is the best place to grab a funnel cake on the Santa Monica pier. Quick service and the funnel cakes are hot and fresh. There’s nothing better than sitting on the pier, enjoying the sunset, and eating a funnel cake topped with strawberries and cream. Don’t believe me? Go try it for yourself!!“

“I ordered via Uber eats for the office I work at and I didn't get my complete order. Veronica was a sweetheart and reached out to Uber for me since they did not want to refund the amount for the item not received. She was incredibly kind and professional while trying to sort out this mix up. Thank you again you are a gem, pinkberry is lucky to have you!“
