Tried Moom Maam at Smorgasburg Los Angeles at ROW DTLA, the big Sunday pop-up food event downtown…read more The event itself was pretty cool, although a few of the vendors I was hoping to try apparently didn't show up that day. Luckily this was one of the stands that had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. Between the language barrier and my excitement for dessert, I somehow ended up ordering more than I planned. The ice cream was good and the Asian-inspired flavors were definitely different from the usual. It didn't completely blow my socks off, but it was a solid treat. I kept thinking a little syrup or extra topping would've taken it up another level. Overall, glad I tried it. Half the fun of these food events is randomly discovering stuff you normally wouldn't eat anyway. I'd probably check out their Torrance brick-and-mortar location sometime and give them another shot.

Was forced to wait for the ice cream to be made as the owners and workers were all busy talking and taking pictures with a fan. They should have acknowledged our longer than usual wait time.

After…read morea day of sun, waves, and sandy toes, my boyfriend and I always make our way here for a our tried-and-true treat: the strawberry gelato. There's just something perfect about the strawberry gelato here - refreshingly light and creamy, with that real strawberry taste you expect every bite to have. We usually go for the mini scoop, and size does matter here, because even a mini scoop feels like a big happy hug for me. It's just enough to end the day on a sweet note without feeling like I overindulged. Everyone is very nice and fast here, and with that prime view of bubble blowing funsies on the pier, it makes the whole experience worthwhile to do it over and over again. It doesn't get better than this!

Enjoyed my gelato from here!…read more The worker was sweet and was patient as I tried a few samples. THERE WERE SOOO MANY OPTIONS! I ended up opting for a split scoop of La Brea Tarpits and Cold Brew Crunch. It was such a great combo! I am a chocolate girly so I naturally gravitated towards the chocolate brownie flavor and I am always happy to add coffee flavor to that. I actually really appreciated the serving size for a split scoop as it was a good serving for a person of one! The one thing I noticed was that the La Brea Tarpits flavor was a bit icy and had an ever so slight taste of freezer burn. Overall, I enjoyed my sweet treat from here :)

Delicious gelato in Manhattan Beach!…read more This place has a huge selection of flavors. Samples are welcome! We tried a ton of different options before deciding. The staff is very friendly and super helpful. We had a large group come in, and they were so patient with us! The gelato tastes so good! Everyone in our group loved it and their flavors. You get a waffle cone wafer with your gelato, which is a nice touch. Definitely recommend stopping in. Not often you find a good gelato spot - you won't regret coming here!

The gelato itself was dense and very creamy. The shop offers gelato in three cup sizes: small (one scoop), medium (two scoops), and large (three scoops). All three cups look tiny, but they give you generous scoops of gelato. The service was slow as molasses. I seriously thought the employee assisting me was moving in slow motion. Service aside, I think this place is worth checking out. While their gelato isn't the best I've ever had, what they do serve is pretty damn satisfying.

Caffe Tre Venezie is a very popular local cafe and it was fairly crowded on a weekday at 9 AM…read more [Parking]: Easy and free parking in a fairly large plaza. [Atmosphere]: There's an outdoor patio area and the interior decors include wallpaper with buildings in Italy, a shelf with Ferris cars and children's books, and pictures of Italian cars hanging on the wall. Behind the counter is a poster of the 25th anniversary of The Godfather. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Rustico, Caprese, and Cotto. Breakfast panini is only served from open to 11 AM. The cafe also sells coffee, gelato (six different flavors), salads, affogato, and croissants (plain, cream, nutella, and apricot). I had a cup of house brewed coffee and the drink wasn't quite on the same level as other third-wave coffee shops in the South Bay. They sell coffee beans from Danesi Caffe. *** Breakfast panini (Scrambled egg, fontina cheese, tomato a avocado - $10.95): A healthy-tasting sandwich, but it probably needed more sauce to add flavor. Bread was good. Rustico (RUSTICO: 24-month aged prosciutto di Parma smoked scamorza cheese, arugula, & white truffle extra virgin olive oil - $11.95): A solid sandwich, but it definitely lacked the "it" factor. *** A solid local cafe for anyone looking for a healthy Italian panini.

When I asked what the cashier thought about a couple of the flavors I appreciated her honesty. I ended up liking the coconut chocoate chip ice cream. The graham on was also really good and had great texture (reminded me of chocolate malted crunch in a way IYKYK). My son tried mint chocolate chip and mud chocolate and he liked both. The portions are hearty! It was so good I'm amazed I actually almost ate the entire thing and this was following a filling dinner. I want to go back for another one! I just saw there is one in Manhattan Beach. Yay! Parking: Large private lot for the shopping center. Decent spots. Not too big, not too small.
