“Great burger ... really great. Sadly, it's overpriced for what you get. It's a thing I would only get if the line was non-existent. Standing in a long line for an overpriced burger is over-rated.The fries are spectacular. They are cooked in beef tallow...like McDonalds did back in the day.“
“Sometimes the cure for a bad day is good ice cream, and Rori's will provide it with a smile!!! I've been coming here for years and the ice cream is always so good! My favorite flavor is the malted milk ball which you will like if you enjoy Whoppers candy. It's perfectly creamy and chocolatey and just scrumptious. The cones themselves also are amazingly delicious...not every ice cream shop has good cones so this is a standout attribute of Rori's. The interior is cute, clean, and welcoming and the staff has always been very friendly. Special shoutout to the girl working today 2/27/24 at 1:30 because her kindness really improved my bad day and she was such a sweetie. I wish I got her name. My only complaint about Rori's is that they don't open until 1pm during the week. It would be nice if they opened a little earlier at let's say noon since I usually am done with my lunch break by the time they open. Come to Rori's if you want some yummy ice cream in Santa Monica! You will be very happy you did :)“
“Came here without knowing that it was a vegan ice cream place, but I wasn’t disappointed at all! The fruit flavors are really spot on and it tastes pretty healthy as far as dessert goes. I also enjoyed the mochi topping, although the texture was closer to tiny pieces of Turkish delight.“
“Stopped by some gelato and was blown away! The lady was so sweet and offered samples to try. I went with the strawberry and passion fruit to stay away from the dairy and it was so delicious and not too sweet. You can also get a mix in a small cup which I thought was awesome. You can’t really sit inside, but there is definitely seating outside!“
“We love this old fashioned ice cream spot! What a gift to the neighborhood. The ice cream is delicious and the staff has been so sweet. They are supportive of community schools and teams with give back days. We are so happy to welcome them to Santa Monica!“

“Stopped by this place for desserts as my bf and I were walking down the area. We just ate at 1212 and would recommend going there for dinner. I love ice cream and can't say no to this place. I got a single scoop of cookies & cream and the sweet cream caramel brownie. Both were so delicious and tasted really good. Price was okay as it came out to about $7. Service was quick and simple. There was no line on a Sunday evening. Would come back if I'm nearby the area!“
“The peanut butter yogurt is probably their best menu item. It’s delicious and thick. The other ones I had were not as creamy but still delicious.Yoga-urt uses real fruit so you know you’re getting high-quality stuff. I wish they included one topping for free, but it’s only $1 more to add. I believe everything here is non-dairy.“
“I mean....it's Greek yogurt. It's the reason giving up dairy has been impossible for me. I don't usually fancy those self-serve frozen yogurt spots. I fancy this one though.It's not a cheap treat. It certainly adds up. But it's delicious. And I'm worth it. They also have a very cool loyalty program. I appreciate it. There's always a nice variety of solid flavors. The folks who work there are friendly and helpful. And they have walnuts and chia seeds as toppings, just for me. They have a million other delicious toppings. But those two are my faves. Chocolate and plain tart are my go to flavors. A solid place.“
“I usually visit little Tokyo for my Mochi fix, but this place generally satiates my craving for Mochi. The Mochi was soft and ice cream was not extremely sweet which a good balance to the Mochi. I tried multiple flavors, including cookies and cream, matcha, and birthday cake. I will say, they had a special going on for buy 4 get 1 free, however they didn't honor it and the employee didn't offer the special, which was a bummer; hence my 4 star review.“
“Almost a decade since the last review? This can't be?! How about the other visits to try our the other flavors?!?! IT DOESN'T MATTER. I've never tried a flavor that I didn't like here. Brought my moms, out of towners and an entire girl scout troupe (twice!) and everybody loved it. Latest visit was this month and we tried December 2023's Milk and Cookies flavor and it was great. As expected. Mint chocolate chip still rocks. The center seems especially busy on the night of our visit... Friday nights are a pain sometimes. Come by on a weekday morning and it is much calmer. Grab an espresso shot from next door and pour it over your ice cream scoop - you can thank me later.“
“Very good ice cream with some unique flavors, but not the most pronounced flavors I've had. The way to go is definitely a sundae (especially the secret breakfast sundae or the brownie sundae - which has a homemade brownie that is delicious. The staff is very friendly too.“
“Had a wonderful experience at this cozy ice cream store. I've been exploring ice cream shops with vegan options and this was one of my favorites. It was delciiously tasty and creamy, will be back. It's so hard to find good vegan options and the cashier was especially knowledgeable and helpful!“
“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 came here recently on a weekend, and there was a small group of people waiting outside for their orders. It took about 20 minutes but so worth it. We got the beef and chicken curry omusibi. They are filling & well worth the price of $4.95 each. The seaweed is perfectly salted and slightly crispy and they didn't skimp on the meat which I appreciated.“
