Best Cookies in Venice Beach

"This longtime favorite of UCLA students and Westwood denizens is one of the best deals in town: a couple of bucks for a scoop of ice cream between two cookies. The ice cream flavors at Diddy Riese are basic -- mint chocolate chip, strawberry, vanilla, cookie dough, rocky road, etc. -- but that doesn't make them any less delicious. Be prepared for a line."

"With a perpetual line of patrons streaming from its doors, Diddy Riese is an iconic symbol of Westwood. College students and visitors alike line up to enjoy a few of the classic cookies or an ice cream sandwich. Chocolate chip cookies are a popular pick, as are the candy cookies with colorful M&Ms."

"We were found out about it when I was taking a class at UCLA. Diddy Riese is located in Westwood Village. They sell cookies, brownies, ice cream, and shave ice."

"Known as the world’s first cupcake bakery, Sprinkles Cupcakes opened in Beverly Hills in 2005 and is now at over 20 locations in addition to their Cupcake ATM’s. Sprinkles freshly bakes and handcrafts the tastiest and coolest looking cupcakes we have ever had the pleasure of eating. The store has a great variety of cupcake flavors with some, like Red Velvet, always being available and some being a seasonal flavor that can last one day to a month."

"I contemplated whether or not I wanted to add Sprinkles Cupcakes in this list seeing as it’s a company that’s widespread throughout the country and not necessarily specific to Los Angeles. But then again, I really do love and often eat at Sprinkles so why not, right?. While I love their cupcakes, I highly recommend finding a Sprinkles location in Los Angeles that offers ice cream as well."

"Milk Jar Cookies may appear like your typical homemade cookies, but don't be fooled. Not only are they perfect consistency, but the recipe has been mastered, so everything from the original Chocolate Chip to crowd favorite Rocky Road will fulfill your childhood dreams. Bonus: You can subscribe to their Cookie of the Month Box if you're missing these delectable cookies."

"For how many times I’ve enjoyed Milkjar Cookies, I’m shooketh that I couldn’t find photos of it in my camera roll!. I have to thank my bestie Grace for introducing me to possibly the best cookies I’ve ever had in my life. I’m quite the cookie snob and damn, you’re missing out if you don’t live life without trying Milkjar Cookies."

"Edit: Sprinkles reached out to me and apologized and promised they told their team to be more careful going forward - i really appreciated that!!!"

"What I like most about these cupcakes is the buttery flavor of the moist cake, and of course the generous slathering of frosting."

"Brady’s Bakery gives baked-to-order, hand-crafted, plus-sized cookies and bread pudding in a range of fun and special flavors. Place your order directly on their website for pickup or nationwide shipping, or pop by their kitchen and order your baked-to-order goodies in person. All of their desserts are hand-rolled and mixed in small batches to ensure the highest quality."

"Gotta love social media for discovering new businesses because Brady’s Bakery was one of the great finds. When I saw their IG feed and found out they were local, I had to place an order. Brady’s Bakery (named after the owner’s dog, too cute!) bakes these chunky, mouth-watering cookies that I’m so glad I tried."

"Ordered Brady's bakery on Postmates and I am so shocked...THESE ARE THE BEST DAMN COOKIES I HAVE EVER HAD -- IN MY LIFE. Seriously these are soooo g..."

"West Adams Sweet Es has a gallery of hundreds of the most beautiful and interesting pre-designed cakes, making ordering (and knowing exactly what you’ll get and exactly how much you’ll pay) a snap. I can lose myself in this gallery for ages, dreaming about birthday cakes. Oh, these cakes also taste as good as they look, come in a variety of amazing flavors (including several vegan ones), and can ship anywhere in the country."

"With her background as a crazy talented pastry chef for Charm City Cakes, it’s no wonder Amriel Perches is now running her own fab cake making business, Amriel’s Cakes. With an eagle eye for the smallest details, her cakes have all of Instagram drooling. From a two-tiered cake strewn with exquisite, life-like butterflies to ones featuring kiddie favorites like Paw Patrol, Iron Man and Elsa, Amriel’s creations are works of art themselves."

"NYC’s famous Milk Bar landed on the west coast just last year, and we couldn’t be happier that it’s finally here!. Next time you’re on Melrose, cool off with their signature Cereal Milk soft serve, with your topping of choice. We recommend the traditional cornflake crunch, but little birthday cake bits are delicious, too."

"Last but not least, check out Moonlight Massage At Naple, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 124 reviews on Yelp. You can find the day spa and massage and skin care spot at 5544 E."

"A chef-driven Cal-Italian bistro in Alamitos Beach Chef Jason Witzl worked at acclaimed LA restaurants like Campanile, Water Grill, Manhattan Beach Post, and Herringbone before bouncing south to open Ellie’s: his own corner bistro (and an LBC anomaly) dedicated to handmade pastas, charred vegetables, and other Cal-Italian creations. Start with the $25 quarterie menu, which gives you three courses based around your choice of pasta. This is one chef you’ll want to trust."

"Located in a quiet neighborhood not too far from downtown, with a big front patio and a small dining room, they serve some very tasty Southern Italian food. The pastas are fantastic - especially the shrimp and ’nduja tagliatelle - but the best thing here is the grilled bread and pork butter. Pork butter is as good as it sounds, but it’s even better when it’s spread on grilled bread and topped with one of the pickled carrots that come on the side."

"Ellie’s is a Southern Italian inspired restaurant by chef & owner Jason Witzl located in the Alamitos Beach district of Long Beach. A stylish, energetic"

"You can buy a day pass to Great Wolf Lodge so that the family can enjoy this water park for the day which is normally reserved for overnight guests only. It’s one of the Anaheim kids’ activities that is an especially great idea if it happens to be raining as the indoor temperature here is maintained at 84 degrees. Life jackets are included and kids ages 2 and under do not require a ticket."

"From the Howlin’ Tornado to the Coyote Cannon the water park features a variety of water rides that are fun for the whole family."
