Also enjoyed the thin mint ice cream, the banana one is also 10/10 !!! Customer service is always great and there's always a long line in the evenings, but they get the orders out right away.

Had to drop a quick review for Creamy Boys because this spot absolutely hit…read more We tried the vanilla and the Hokey Pokey, and both were solid but the Hokey Pokey was on another level. Seriously, it was phenomenal. Perfect balance of creamy texture with those little honeycomb crunch bits... I was halfway through and already regretting not going bigger. The vanilla was clean and classic (always a good test), but that Hokey Pokey is the one you go back for. Cool little beachside vibe, quick service, and just one of those places that delivers exactly what you want when the ice cream craving hits. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Hermosa just do yourself a favor and don't undersize it like I did.

Salt & Straw is definitely a fun stop if you're into trying new and unusual ice cream flavors. The…read moreshop has a cool vibe and the staff is really friendly and let you sample a bunch before deciding. Some of the flavors are honestly really good and creative, but a few feel a bit over the top or just not something you'd want in ice cream. It's more of an experience place than somewhere I'd go when I just want a simple scoop. It's also on the pricier side, but that's expected for the type of shop it is. Overall, I'd say it's worth trying at least once, especially if you like adventurous desserts...but it might not be everyone's everyday ice cream spot.

Oh. My. God. When I first tasted the ice cream, I almost sweet creamed in my cone. (Did that come…read moreoff gross? It was supposed to be cheeky). Anyway- I came because a friend was raving about Salt and Straw and swore by it. Said it was the best ice cream in the world and I had to try. He said I had to have the salted caramel. I am not a huge ice cream person but I do enjoy some once in a while. I've tried Brusters and Handel's and I think they're overhyped. Of course I've had Baskin Robbin's, Thrifty's, Dreyers, Haagen-Dazs and so far HD is my favorite - until today. I had the salted caramel ribbon and I was totally blown away. I LOVED the vanilla ice cream and texture. I thought the caramel was incredible. I had never had ice cream as delicious as this. I called my boyfriend right away because he IS a big ice cream person and I had him choose a couple flavor pints I could take to him. He chose rum raisin and hazelnut cookie. I brought home a salted caramel pint for him to try too. Oh my gosh. We're going to try those together later and I will follow up with another review. So excited. They also have the best waffle cone I've ever had.

Big mistake....I wish I had stayed here. Sometimes you just want classic flavors done right, and that's exactly what they offer (no over-the-top combinations, just really good ice cream). The ambience is clean, there was a bit of a line but it moves quickly, and they have lots of flavors to choose from. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and they happily let us sample before deciding. The Cookie Monster flavor was unforgettable. Definitely coming back next time.

I got a medium with three flavors, and I chose dark chocolate, mint chip, and hazelnut, and they were a perfect combination. So creamy, so delicious, so perfect to end the evening! For the price I paid it was reasonable because of the amount that was there and I'm basing it on pricing back home which would have been similar for this. I was truly stuffed after I ate this and probably would have been satisfied with a small but I wanted the three flavors to mix in together. I was looking for something like this and just happened to find it as I was walking down the street. Highly recommend to stop here, you won't regret it.

Cute spot near the main drag in Hermosa…read more If you're with at least one other friend, just go for the gelato flight: more value for money and you'll get a chance to try more flavors. They are very relaxed about tasting, though, so feel free to try half a dozen before making a decision.

The bingsoo my friend and I shared from here was delicious!…read more We shared the Blueberry Yogurt and Hojicha Bingsoos at the single serve size and both of them were great. The Blueberry Yogurt one really tasted like eating a cup of blueberry yogurt. The dollop of yogurt was nice and the blueberries were plump and fresh. The Hojicha one also had great flavor. I liked the nutiness of it. The cereal, dalgona, and red bean also added good flavors and textures. I like how the flavorings were embedded in layers throughout the bingsoo. The ice itself was okay though. It could've been softer and smoother, but still good nonetheless. The flavors and toppings really carried the bingsoos. I'd recommend both flavors. The cafe interior is super cute too. Love the design. I saw some people with laptops, so this could be a potential work/study spot? There's also lots of free parking underground.

The aesthetic inside is really nice, clean, sunny, and with a few spots to sit and enjoy your drink or get some work done. They have a good variety of drinks, plus a few seasonal options as well. I got the Earl Grey matcha latte, and my husband went with the banana cream matcha latte. Both drinks came out pretty quickly! And they were SO good. I love Earl Grey in my matcha, and Otto Tea Shoppe nailed the flavor. The matcha was earthy and a great green color. My husband really enjoyed his banana matcha (and so did I... wife tax hehe). The banana flavor was super enjoyable and clearly not artificial. I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks!

The black sesame bingsoo was my favorite - the ice was super fine and snow-like, light and easy to enjoy. It leaned a bit sweeter than other bingsoo spots I've tried, but was still very good. The second bingsoo was a more classic snow bowl with red bean and mochi on top, simple but enjoyable. The space felt clean and traditional, with good service. Overall, a great place to get bingsoo in Torrance.

Decor: cute decor with books on the side and a few tables inside. Service: efficient and speedy. Menu/food: I really like their bingsoo a lot, but what I really love is their boong-uh-ppang (taiyaki). I also love their red bean, which is not too sweet but rich and flavorful. They advertise that the red bean is imported from Korea, and it really is better than most other places. When the taiyaki comes out piping hot with crispy exterior and chewy inside with red bean, it's sooo good. I like their custard filling too. Probably best taiyaki I've had anywhere in southern Cal. I had stopped coming here for a while and when we came back, we noticed that the menu expanded a bit, and now they have some fruit based bingsoo. Recommend trying once. Their rice cakes are good too, very chewy and fresh.

They offered recommendations and both checked up on us throughout our meal. FOOD Everything was 3/5 Thick cut bacon - served with jam and shishito peppers. It was indeed thick and visually appealing, however, it was soo dry I had to saw through it with a knife. Breakfast bowl - pretty basic brunch bowl, good portion of brisket. Brisket grilled cheese w/ fries - very rich and decadent, brisket was good Overall, I like how it's a mile from Hermosa pier so it's more quiet and enjoyable, yet very close to the beach. I want to come back to try their dinner at sunset!

When scanning the shops for a caffeination boost, I couldn't stop thinking about the "Over Caffeinated Cold Brew Float" I saw advertised at Moom Maam. So intriguing! I circled back and ordered the indulgent morning treat, slightly skeptical of such a mix. I'm happy to report though that yes, it was a monstrosity to have first thing in the morning but I'd do it again in a second. You get to pick what flavor gelato is in the coffee and I went with chocolate to which they replied, great choice! I agree, it was such a good mix with the cold coffee brew. The gelato was so creamy with amazing flavor, I can't wait to come back and try more off their menu!
