Cookies
Kenny L.

Must try new flavor - Ube. Smooth, creamy, great ube flavor. The cinnamon cookies are great. Friendly service, let me try a few flavors before deciding.

Still one of the best deals in Westwood!
Julie B.

Glad to see the iconic Diddy Riese Cookies is still operating in Westwood after all these years! Each cookie is now 75 cents (they were 25 cents apiece in the 90's) but that's still the best deal in Westwood. Same flavors as I remember from back in the day (choco chip, chocolate chocolate chip, M&M, cinnamon sugar, peanut butter, white chocolate macadamia nut (higher cost for these). You can also still get an ice cream sammy made with a scoop of Dreyer's ice cream and freshly made cookies. My friends and I agreed that the cookies are smaller than we remember. But the nostalgia is off the charts! Go Bruins!!

Cookies and cream with chocolate chip and m&m cookies
Peter H.

TL;DR - still here and doing well! Got the cookies and cream between an m&m cookie and chocolate chip cookie. $5 a piece now compared to 10+ years ago. Line still goes out the door and still an amazing time. I decided to drop by Diddy Riese after not having it for 5+ years. I was so happy to see the store alive and doing well. In fact, VERY well. There was a line that went right out the door by the time we got our food to find a place to sit. Their famous ice cream cookie sandwiches are now $5 each. A little over a decade ago, these weren't even $2 each (oh how the times have changed). Either way, the experience was the same and it was such a treat to have it again. We got the cookies and cream sandwiched between an m&m cookie and a chocolate chip cookie. Given the size, a spoon was mandatory. We probably came too late in the day because the cookies weren't fresh anymore. They were on the hard and dry side but I was still happy to have it. The service is super fast. The ambiance is loud given it's a small shop with a lot of visitors. Seating is limited so don't be surprised if you find yourself with no other option but to walk around Westwood Village as you enjoy these tasty sandwiches.

Cookies Inside
Samantha L.

I loved this spot! First of all, I think the prices are great! Super reasonable. Secondly, the service was quick and friendly! There was a line, but it went by so fast! And lastly, I loved my cookie and I loved my ice cream! They have so many different options to choose from, and for the cookie sandwich you don't have to stick to one flavor. You could get two different types of cookies for it if you'd like, which I thought was neat. There isn't dine-in space, it's a takeout spot so just fyi!

Went here for the first time since I started working in the area. The place was clean, staff, friendly, and the food looks delicious. I was hesitant at first when I saw it to come in since many of the cookie places nowadays are really expensive. But it was great to find out that there's were very reasonable in price. For what you get it's a great value. I tried the chocolate chip, chocolate, chocolate chip, peanut butter, and white chocolate macadamia nut. I purchased all of those to take home since they were very delicious. My favorite cookie is the peanut butter. They actually have real nuts inside their peanut butter cookie, which makes it really delicious. If you're in the area, I'd give them a try. Great prices for tasty cookies.

Since 1983!
Lisa R.

Such a nogalgstic place! Made a trip to my birth city and stopped by Diddy Riese in Westwood which has been open since 1983. I have wonderful memories when I was young of visiting Diddy Riese to get cookies after movies in Westwood. Cookies are affordable and tasty. I want to try everything on the menu. Service with a smile. The place is happy and bright. I checked out their website prior to traveling to Los Angeles and was happy to see they are still open after all these years. I am sure your store and cookies bring happiness to me many generations. Cheers!~

Ice Cream Sandwiches
Crissy G.

Loved coming here! They have a line queue, but it went real quick. The cookies were good and the ice cream was yummy! You can make your own ice cream sandwich. My boys also loved the shave ice. Very cute place!

Diddy Riese Cookies is pretty good. I went there last week and it can get VERY busy late at night. If you're in LA, near UCLA, it's a great experience. The cookies and ice cream sandwiches are EXTREMELY affordable, and I'm taking a dollar or less per cookie! There's some seating inside, but don't rely on it, as they get filled up quick. The cookies and ice cream overall are very affordable, and while they aren't the best cookies I've ever had, it was a great experience.

Kelly C.

Back when I went to UCLA, the cookies here were 4 for $1. They are now 4 for $3. That's inflation at work! Still very cheap compared to other dessert shops though. The cookie here are so so. I don't think they are as good as other places where the inside of the cookie is chewy. I like that texture better. The shaved ice with ice cream was a great deal and really good. There is a small bar ledge to eat on if you want to stay and eat in the shop. Most people just get it and eat outside.

At Diddy Riese today at around 12'30pm.  There was a line but it moved very fast.
Roy R. P.

Often stop at Diddy Riese when I am in Westwood Village. Always get some oatmeal raisin cookies with walnuts. They are very good. Sometimes think about trying some of the many other cookies but somehow always end up getting oatmeal raisin cookies with walnuts. There is often a long line outside waiting to get some cookies. The line usually moves very fast, as it did today. Maybe next time will be the time I get some of the many other types of cookies.

Anthony K.

Diddy Riese is proof that happiness can be baked and sold for a few bucks. Worth every crumb and every minute in line.

The service in the evening was amazing! decided to treat my self to some ice cream after work and clearly was the best decision came in to try out the new ube flavor ice cream and it's was extremely delicious the clerk was very knowledgeable on what cookies pair well with the new flavors so his input was the cherry on top it was also nice to see a full staff ready to make the line go fast it might seem long line but i was in n out food was great the service and speediness 10/10

Natalie J.

What a treat! We had a box of chocolate chip , m&m, and double chocolate cookies. It was heaven. Each bite so soft. And prices very reasonable. Totally makes sense why often times there is a line. Worth the wait. Much better quality with fresher ingredients as opposed to packaged store bought cookies. I will have to return to try their ice cream sandwiches. Was able to enjoy my cookies outside the shop.

I need those cookies on Tuesday which they dont open. If I buy them on Sunday, how can i keep them fresh until Tuesday?? or any suggestion :)

If you buy them on Sunday, you can freeze them until you need them. Take them out of the freezer about an hour before you plan to serve them.

Do they have any sugar free options?

This is a strong no 😕

When do they stop accepting orders for the next day? I called at 7 and the guy on the phone told me to call the next day at 8am, but they aren't even open at 8.

They are not open at 8, but they are there baking for the day. They stop taking orders at 4 PM.

Yes they have a descent variety

Do you have any vegan options?

I was wondering the same thing so we went down there yesterday to check it out. We are vegetarian and don't eat eggs and we were told that both the cookies and the ice cream has eggs. It's unfortunate but they don't have any vegan options ?

quality is TEAAA (literally..)…read more There are so many cafes that serve matcha lattes, but as someone who is VERY picky about their matcha blend, I can tell when the cafe uses ceremonial grade matcha. DAMO 100% uses ceremonial grade quality and probably 5-6g of matcha per serving!! I prefer my matcha unsweetened (occasionally having some sweetness added from the syrup/puree/cloud foam a cafe uses) and whatever blend DAMO uses..chef's kiss!! I've been here 4 times, and the quality is consistent each time! Service: quick Parking: lowkey horrible (but that's all of k-town...) Shop design: aesthetic--very minimalistic and pretty. They also have a restroom and free WiFi! Limited seats when busy :c Drinks: BOMB.com will always come back :)

Parking here may be difficult to find on the street, but they do have valet, too. On a Saturday afternoon, this spot is packed and quite hard to find a place to sit. Wi-Fi is available, though note that plugs and seating may be another issue. Not every spot comes with a plug, and it's going to be full, so you may need to wait 15-20 minutes. It is indeed a small spot, so if you're looking for a quiet spot to work, this might not be it. The interior decor, though, is quite clean aesthetically and is relaxing to work in. The Matcha Latte, though, let me say if you're in need of an afternoon pick-me-up, this will keep you energized, even without the sugar! A few sips in and a half cup later, I had so much energy I could probably run a marathon if I had the right shoes (and I don't even like running).

I think there is parking behind the shops through the alley. I didn't know any specifics since I didn't park there. As we walked in the front doors, I got in line while hubby saved us a table. If you go out the back door, there is another room with more seating. I waited for my turn at the kiosk... you place the order yourself. Be sure to enter your phone number to earn loyalty points. I felt bad for the one lady making all the orders by herself. She was working as quickly as she could! I watched her for a little bit. She changed gloves often, keeping the ingredients separated. It wasn't long before I was taking my order to the table. I ordered two individual size bingsoos. One would have been ample for us to share. Each of them cost $8.50 and I got a side of Mochi for $2.25. This was some of the freshest Mochi topping I've had! Each piece was so super soft, even softer than marshmallows! They came in a condiment container so we could add them as we desired. Hubby's bingsoo was the Mango Melon and mine was the Mango. The shaved ice used was Mango for both. His had melon (Honeydew) balls and mine had mango chunks. This wasn't the best bingsoo I've had, but it was refreshing and made for a nice dessert! I thought I had been here before, but apparently not! I'm glad we finally got to come check it out!

I've had their gelatos before, and they have very unique flavors (unfortunately the candle smoked and salty egg yolk is not my favorite because it only tastes smoky to me, but some people really love it so I think you should try it if you have the chance). We went on a hot Saturday mid-day, and lots of other people had the same idea, so we had to wait a little bit for a table. They give you a beeper so you can come back once a table is ready. This time, we ordered the mango sticky rice shaved ice, and it was so good my husband and I were mind-blown. It's fun to eat because you get multiple components on one tray, and you can continually go between eating the mango sticky rice and the shaved ice with mango gelato, mango chunks, and coconut cream. Every part of it was so yummy and refreshing, it didn't feel too difficult to share and finish between two people. They hide mango chunks inside the middle of the shaved ice too, so it's not solely a bowl of ice when you get to the bottom. I will go back again just for the mango sticky rice shaved ice because it is so unique and delicious, but when mango season is over, they stop selling it.
