Dessert Restaurants near Venice, CA

“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!“

“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.“

“I feel bad for the one and only employee working there today who's coworker left her with no cookies baked and unable to fulfill the orders. She did the best she could and was apologetic and explained the lack of product. Need to have more than one person running a store like this.“

“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“

“My review is for the new thin cookies.
I went during the free thin cookie giveaway and bought the Dubai style chocolate cookie. $7 for 2 thin cookies. I got the brownie batter and it was great, falling apart but good. Taste wise for Dubai chocolate was also good. Cookie quality in terms of taste is not the issue. I love chewy cookies but I'm giving it 3 stars for value and also how my cookies stuck together by the time I got home, which was less than 2 miles, so packaging fail. The ladies working at the shop was nice and quick. But $7 for 2 filmsy cookie is a bit expensive in my opinion.“

“The pastries taste as good as they look for sure! The Earl Grey macaron is absolutely the best. The pistache was good...not super sweet. I dropped the box so I can't show you a pic unfortunately. The staff is also really sweet and patient.“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious! I had the Nutella filled cake cone with cookies and cream“

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

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

“First time trying out Mewame and it was delicious. Tried their summer Honey Melon, perfect amount of sweetness, shaved ice was fluffy and very flavorful coconut topping. Much healthier and balanced version of traditional Korean shaved ice. Definitely recommend!!!“

“the grapes are great!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Interesting as after handles..this was ok..
great outing met with excellent welcoming staff.
Hand made icecream since 1945..are a treat to feast..amazing flavours..great lines..happy faces an active school playground and a royal strawberry moon on the horizon. We took peanut flavor..nice swirl and great value.“

“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!!“

“My husband and I were visiting from Florida and originally came to this area for the tacos. While we were there we spotted this small churro stand and decided to give it a try.

First let me say that the price is probably one of the best i've come across at a churro stand. For just $8, you get eight full sized churros and one dipping sauce. Since it was our first visit, the owner even threw in an extra dipping sauce for us to try.

Now on to the churros they were delicious! You could tell the ingredients were fresh, and they were made to order right in front of us. The owner's recommendation to leave the box open helped keep the churros nice and crispy. We tried the strawberry and coconut dipping sauces, and both were great, but we preferred the strawberry or honestly, no sauce at all. The churros were that good on their own!

Lastly the owners are awesome. They're incredibly charismatic and you can tell they genuinely care about their business and take pride in the quality of their product.

If you're in the area definitely give this place a try!“

“I went into this store early morning and Sara helped me. It being my 1st time here I did fall in love with your M&M cookie as well as the salted caramel.They were fresh and delicious and warm and gooey within every bite. Will be most definitely coming back. Thank you so much Sara for your help in helping me understand what your store offers.Will be signing up for the Rewards program most definitely.“

“Everything here is nice at first glance. Good coffee, pleasant service, and a cozy atmosphere. The only thing that really surprised me was the tables. They are so light and wobbly that leaning on one or even setting down your drink feels risky. It almost feels like a reflection of real life: everything looks beautiful, but there is nothing you can truly lean on. Replace the tables, and this place would be so much more enjoyable.“

“2026-June

I’m not sure if they have parking close by since we walked from a parking garage a few blocks away. We arrived a little late, but the staff were still accommodating and friendly.

The halo‑halo was good, and overall the visit was okay. A simple spot for a quick dessert, especially if you’re already in the area.

Ice cream... yummy 😋“

“I love this place. Great baristas. Great espresso. Amazing Fizzy tea“

“I used to love Beard Papa's and would come here regularly a few years ago. Back then, the cream puffs tasted much fresher and more flavorful. Unfortunately, my recent visits haven't been the same. The quality seems to have gone down, and the cream filling just doesn't taste as good as it used to. The staff is still friendly, and the location is convenient, but the product itself isn't what I remember. I hope they can bring back the quality that made this place special.“

“Came around 9am and got a few donuts along with a bacon, egg and cheese croissant. Donuts were nice and soft, perfectly glazed. It reminds me a lot of my aunt's donuts and I always thought she made the best donuts in the family compared to the rest of the family on both of my parents side. The croissant sandwich is good too, it has mayo, scrambled egg and bacon on a big croissant. It's good value for what you get, it's not toasted or packaged like you would get at any upscale coffee shop, but I still think it's good for a quick fix. Having grown up in a donut shop and being around family who also owned donut shops for 40+ years, I understand all the work and effort that goes into operating a donut shop. Whoever is the baker here at this donut shop is doing a wonderful job at making the donuts. Kudos to the operators for getting the right flour for the donuts as well.

All in all I think this is a great donut shop with a good selection of items without having too many things to sell like some other locations. I would come back here again if i had a hankering for donuts while I'm in SoCal.

But this is a nice quaint donut shop, and if you like softer donuts this is the place for you. But if you like the tougher donuts then I wouldn't recommend this place. The price seemed reasonable to me, especially with the cost of flour going up; it's justifiable in my opinion. There is no inside seating; only take out. The people working were friendly enough as well. If you got time, definitely give this place a try. Parking looks to be small but it wasn't packed like i had expected when i walked in that morning.“

“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!“

“I ordered the Bash Roll, and it was absolutely amazing! The crepe and chocolate were a perfect blend, and the fresh fruits complemented the flavors beautifully. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I would definitely order it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet treat!“
