Tammi H.

I was here yesterday with my boyfriend. I always order a funnel cake every time I am at the pier. It's a family tradition. I get a funnel cake with whipped cream and strawberries. It's delicious. Merline took my order yesterday and she gave really good customer service, and I'm happy about it. The vibes are good because you are on the Santa Monica Pier! Lovely ambiance.

Churro funnel cake in its full glory.

The Santa Monica Pier is a tourist trap, yet I come here on most visits to the Los Angeles area. Part of it is core memories of visiting here as a child and another part of it is the garishness of the Pier's food establishments. On my recent visit, I ordered the churro funnel cakes with everything on it (fruits, whipped cream, jam). It's huge, yet light and crispy. Share it with one or two friends. Or eat it all by yourself if you're on vacation, you deserve it.

Would have give them 4 stars if they were faster. There are 2 shops where you can get funnel cake, I saw the other shop has a longer line so I picked this one. I asked the cashier how long does it take because I was in a rush to get back to parking garage, he said 5min but it took forever. I was the only person in line and they manage to takes 20min to make one funnel cake ‍ The fennel cake is pretty standard , nothing amazing nothing out of the ordinary

Original Funnel Cake. So good!
Chef Omar R.

It was a beautiful day on the Santa Monica Pier, packed with people having fun. Right next to the rides and games is a place that brings back so many memories; Funnel Cakes! I ordered the original Funnel Cake, hot and crispy with powdered sugar. The outer crisp and soft, fluffy inside gives off a nostalgic experience with every bite. The flavor of the Funnel Cake was so buttery and delicious. The perfect dessert to enjoy on the pier as you walk and take in the view of the beautiful beach below. Happy I found a good Funnel Cake place on the pier. Now I have a new foodie experience to look forward to whenever I'm down here.

Starberry Funnel Cake with Chocalate syrup, no whipped cream.

Every time I go to the Santa Monica pier I always see the Funnel Cake place and crave to get it. But only becuase I love funnel cake so much thanks to Magic Mountain. We got the Strawberry funnel cake with additional chocalate syrup and no whipped cream. It was pretty good but definitely not as good as Magic Mountain's. I don't know...maybe my family is too spoiled with the one from Magic Mountain but this one didn't have that wow factor. Maybe there wasn't enough toppings or maybe the funnel cake batter wasn't as soft as Magic Mountain's....overall it was above average I would say. I do want to praise the staff. The line moved fast even with only one cashier. The wait for the funnel cake wasn't too long even on a crowded Saturday. The price is pretty good overall, a little cheaper than the one at Magic's. So would I recommend this place? Sure..... they make good funnel cakes....and that's good enough.

THIS FUNNEL CAKE WAS THE SH*T! SO YUMMY! GREAT SERVICE, WILL BE BACK FOR MORE!!!!! My boyfriend is not a sweets kind of man, but when he asked me to come here for a funnel cake, I just knew they must be great. We got in line, and ordered. The line goes fast, and boyyyy is it packed! The pier itself is packed as HELL, but it went fast and the customer service was really great. Super friendly black Woman took my order, and asked us if we wanted anything on it. I chose strawberry and whipped cream, and damn. I watched them make it so it really I fresh! It came out in about 10mins, and It was so damn good!!!!!! Totally worth the 10.00 and huge amount of people around. We will 100% come back for more! They also have lots of other things to chose from, ice cream and special little cones. . But these funnel cakes are it for me! Dessert sweet tooth satisfied!

The funnel cake is sweet and crispy. But it just way too expensive and the queue was so long.

location: on the Santa Monica pier what we ordered: (1) funnel cake with strawberry topping & whipped cream ($13.99): the funnel cake was light and crispy. And the powdered sugar & whipped cream were a nice touch. the strawberries were more of a strawberry jam and it was a bit too sweet for me. it also made the funnel cake soggy. main takeaway: very nostalgic snack! you can even watch the employee make the funnel cake in the kitchen. it's a little more expensive but it makes sense given the boardwalk location.

It is really delicious!!! There are some waitings for receiving the cake, but it deserves it. Ice cream goes well with the cake.

A day is not really complete after playing games on Santa Monica Pier, and not having some funnel cake! The line was super long but we'll worth the wait. We were in line for a little over 30 mins towards closing, which was 7pm, and it was already 730pm. They were nice enough to accommodate the bystanders until 8pm on Monday evening. We ordered the funnel cake with strawberry toppings and ice cream ($15). It was a deliciously warm treat for the cool evening. Happy Eats!

Funnel cake with syrupy strawberries and whipped cream.
Merly M.

The three of us split this funnel cake. I didn't order it myself, so I can't speak to the service or cost of it. The location is obviously great, because it's on the Santa Monica Pier, so you can sit under an umbrella and people watch while enjoying the ocean breezes. I'm not a fan of syrupy, sugar-laden strawberries, especially in treats like this because it makes that part of the funnel cake kind of soggy. However, it was a decent funnel cake. The outside bits were nice and crispy (like I like them) and it was a fairly large size. Decent; get one if you're in the mood, but don't go out of your way for it.

Churro funnel cake with a scoop of Cookie Monster ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream
Audrey T.

Seemed overpriced at first but they gave me a MASSIVE serving. I was absolutely stuffed but I absolutely devoured my churro funnel cake. I am actually ashamed of myself for how fast I ate it but I couldn't get enough! Fantastic "meal" but now I definitely need to hit the gym.

Linda B.

The funnel cakes are okay if you're in the mood for it. It didn't really satisfy my craving for it. Definitely have had better elsewhere. After ordering, it took about 20 minutes til I was able to pick up my order. I just had the powdered sugar and the strawberry topping on it but it didn't seem fried very evenly. Some portions were super hard and hard to bite into.

Be careful when taking picture of ice cream at this spot

Ugo is a spot I've been to before in Culver City years ago. They also have a café on the Third…read moreStreet Promenade, but this visit was to their smaller, full restaurant location. My fiancée and I were looking for Italian food nearby, and the atmosphere immediately felt warm and welcoming. The service started before we even sat down. As we were looking over the menu outside, Rodrigo greeted us, walked us through a few options, and confidently assured us we'd enjoy the food. That first impression mattered. Once seated, he helped us with recommendations based on what we were in the mood for. My fiancée ordered the chicken piccata, and I had the chicken parmigiana. Both were excellent. The bread to start was fresh and delicious. I paired my meal with a Peroni, which just felt right at an Italian restaurant. We finished with coffee, which was a great way to wrap everything up. The overall vibe is cozy and low key, perfect for catching up with a friend, enjoying drinks, or going on a relaxed date night. Rodrigo provided outstanding service and made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend giving Ugo a try if you are in the area.

The waiter was nice enough to order my food with no salt added and was delicious....The polpette al sugo was fresh and moist, The minestrone soup is big for two and the Don Tomasino excellent. So happy to find this UGO. Affordable and delicious

(There's 1 main dish I didn't care for -- but can't even remember what was.) The wonderful ambiance, enhanced by friendly, attentive & fun servers (+ enticing happy hour prices) are the driving reasons I continue to return. Sometimes I bring my laptop and can do my work while comfortably enjoying happy hour....... and then I'll stay for dinner too. I live in the neighborhood and I'm appreciative of Massilia's delicious hospitality.

We had what I believe was a 7PM reservation and got seated right away on a Saturday night inside an absolutely stunning restaurant. It's on the darker side in here (which I personally like), is absolutely massive with both indoor and outdoor seating, and had such a friendly staff I now personally consider our waiter a family member and my new Uncle. The menu here has a a great selection of french dishes, pasta dishes, appetizers, and desserts to top it off (even though I was too stuffed for that). For an appetizer the table ordered the Pan Con Tomate with Prosciutto and even though it's not something I would of personally picked, I did enjoy the small amount I had. For a main course I went with one of my favourite dishes of all time, Steak Frites! Massilia did not skimp on portions here or kill you with price. The steak itself was served with an absolutely amazing chimichurri sauce and a boat load of french fries. Every aspect of the plate was incredible and for $32? Yeah, I'll be coming back in the future. The steak was served rare and was absolutely mouth watering while the french fries were crispy and had great flavour. Overall, Massilia was perfect choice for dinner and an absolute gem in Santa Monica. The atmosphere and restaurant were amazing, the staff was delightful, and the food was perfect. I couldn't recommend this place more if I wanted too, I'll definitely be back in the future!
