“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 had been wanting to come here for a long time and try the gluten free birthday cake. It did not disappoint!“

“Customer service is amazing. I am visiting from NY and would 100% recommend coming here. I wanted to stop in for the viral fruit pastries, after being disappointed at different bakery called Altadena Bakery. I got the mango one and it was amazing. My boyfriend also got a cappuccino which he enjoyed and we both got complimentary macaroons which were excellent. If you want to try the fruit pastries definitely come here!“

“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.“

“got a couple of cookies from crumbl. the one with the frosting and chocolate chips on top was super soft and had a nice balance of sweetness. the other cookie, with a simple but great flavor, was equally good. both were fresh and perfectly packed. if you’re into cookies with a rich, indulgent taste, definitely give these a try.“

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

“Good selection with interesting flavor options such as peach (limited) , matcha, sesame and Ube. I personally like softer ice cream more but this is a very popular Korean inspired ice cream place that has a very thick and rich
Favorite menu item: Cold Brew Float“

“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‼️).“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“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!“

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

“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 grapes are great!!!!!“

“It’s a dog eat dog dessert war zone over in sawtelle and Brian’s shaved ice is as much of a contender as any other. It’s simple, if you like shaved ice with tropical flavors, you go to Brian’s shaved ice. They are pleasant and the service is quick. I’d only every place locked in and specialized in one such speciality such as this.“

“Manhattan Beach. YOU SHOULD GET 3 SCOOPS BUT 2 IS OK. 1 scoop was $6.25 and 2 was $6.75. 3 was $7 something. If you like toppings, the banana split is the way to go for $10.25. There were some seats outside, but this place was more like a take out place. Walk the beach and go to the promenade. The museum wasn't interesting.

Parking: Park on the street or public garage.

Wheelchair accessibility: The store was dense, but you can navigate with wheelchair“

“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.“

“A must-visit every time I'm in Santa Monica. The flavors are so fresh, and the variety is fantastic! My favorite is the tantric tart, which tastes like lemon pie! Their vanilla is also something special. They have some amazing herbal flavors too, like lavender and fresh mint, that you probably won't see anywhere else. You can even sample all the flavors before you decide. There are lots of toppings to choose from, including brownies! Updated from previous review on 2025-09-01“

“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!“

“We had a great experience in this store and the cookies were great. Needed something to end my night with a sweet craving this place was recommended by my co worker. Went in and Ashley was wonderful in explaining the menu and was awesome with my order.“

“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!!“

“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! 😋“

“Great Donuts and good service.The man is nicer than the lady, she sort of rushes you to pick which Donuts you want and acts like you're irritating her..Their donuts are actually better than Randy's which everyone makes a big deal about when the donuts are really just okay..King donuts are always fresh and tasty.. I wish they would take more care to create signs that were written in proper English though.. For example; they have one sign that says Buniness when it's supposed to Business.... and there are multiple other that are written in fractured English..“

“Waffle was perfectly made. Not too doughy and not too sweet, and a lot of choices for everyone in our family to enjoy! 💛“

“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“

“Chef Barb and everyone that helps run the shop are just solid, cool, nice people. I was actually kind of shocked to see some of the negative comments on here. Obviously there is going to be some variation and preference differences in flavor/tastes/textures of the many common deserts, but I’ve never been dissatisfied even when some of the desserts have their own unique spin to them. I absolutely love this place and miss living right next door to it! The cinnamon rolls are my favorite, along with the seasonal pineapple dole whip, ooey gooey cakes, and the strawberry shortcake/cheesecake. Def recommend checking them out!“

“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“

“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!“
