Diddy Riese Cookies

Diddy Riese Cookies

If you're shopping in Westwood or just looking for a nice place to stop for a casual, yet fun atmosphere, I highly suggest Diddy Riese Cookies!

 It was a small family shop opened in 1983 that became a hit and remained popular ever since. It is a small little shop serving a huge variety of cookies, brownies, and twelve flavors of Dreyers premium grand ice cream. The reason it is so popular is because the location is in Westwood, and it tends to be a really crowded area that is open really late, which makes it a hot spot for a quick dessert and mingle with friends or family.


 They are known for their delicious combinations of cookies and ice cream, which you can even build-your-own creations! Their prices are very affordable ranging from &1.75 for an ice cream sandwich that you can create as you wish or an ice cream sundae to just $0.33 for one cookie or 3 for $1.00, and $2.00 for a delicious cookie sundae! Shaved w/ice cream is also available for just $1.50. The prices are not bad for a place in fancy LA, and they are affordable!



 The shop is located right near UCLA, right in the center of the historic Westwood Village, Bruin movie theaters, and big brand shops in Westwood. The lines tend to be quite crowded because it is not a sit-in type of dessert place, but very well worth it if you're looking for a casual place for dessert and a fun atmosphere!

Frostbites: Crepes and Frozen Delights




If you're ever in the area, I suggest that you try Frostbites in the city of Cypress. Frostbites sell a couple of the most popular desserts of today: Italian ice cream and crepes. Since 2002, Frostbites have been serving up the best in italian ices, frozen custard, sweet crepes, and sandwich crepes.

To start, their frozen treats menu includes: sorbet chill, frozen custard, sorbet cream, and ice cream cakes. Sorbet chill is made fresh. The texture is soft and velvety, and contrast to ice cream, it's like flavored ice. There are quite a few flavors including: passion fruit, mango, coconut, orange cream, watermelon, raspberry, and more. The frozen custard is basically very soft and creamy ice cream (vanilla and chocolate). The sorbet cream is the mixture of the sorbet chill and the frozen custard. It is the most popular out of everything on the menu. The creaminess of the custard topped onto the icy sorbet chill makes for a delicious and refreshing combination.

The sweet crepes that they have are fresh and sweet, and can be filled with any and every kind of fruit, nut, and sauce of your choice. Feel free to ask for recommendations of what tastes best combined. Last but not least, they sell sandwich crepes, which are basically crepes filled with your choice of meat, cheese, sauce, and vegetables. It's very similar to your average sandwich but they contain less calories.

There you have it; Frostbites sell great treats for the hot weather. Even in the cold, Frostbites never fail to satisfy your sweet tooth. So, check it out if you're ever in town.
