This is a tiny shop, there is no indoor or outdoor seating, expect to take your ice cream to-go. This area is nice to walk around in and you're close enough to the beach that I didn't mind this. Pink Vanilla 4/5, this is SUPER date heavy, just traces of vanilla and coconut. It did come with quite a bit in the cup but even though its plant based, I would recommend you don't eat this all at once as you'll probably end up with a similar stomachache as I had ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Cookie Smash 3/5, this tasted like a candy bar between a Reese's and a Snickers. I was told this was a super popular flavor but I prefer a more fruity tasting ice cream so I opted for the pink vanilla

Located at the heart of the Venice boardwalk; is the very cute sweet treat shop Turn Dough! With…read moreit's bright pastel painted exterior; this is the spot to go to if you're looking for the ulitmate dessert. On the menu of Turn Dough is belgian waffles, soft serve gelato, milkshakes and chimney cakes! For those who don't know what chimney cakes are; they are a traditional snack from Hungary that is made from sweet yeast dough that is rolled into a long rope and baked around a cylinder. Here at Turn Dough; you can actually watch them make and bake the chimney cake. It was really hard to choose what dessert to get here as everything looked so yummy. This place happens to be the first place to offer chimney cake in Los Angeles and so you know I just had to try that. Even choosing which chimney cake to get was hard! They've got 18 different types or you can even create your own! From oreo to nutella to coconut to Disney inspired or unicorn inspired; they've got something for everyone! I ended up getting the very cute Minnie Macaron chimney cake which has Italian-style soft-serve gelato, French Macarons, Rainbow sprinkles, and a handmade Minnie Mouse bow on top. It was definitely a magical Disney inspired creation. We also got the Nutella Dream. This one is a must try for Nutella lovers. It's a chocolate delight that even includes Kinder chocolates! Tastewise; I really liked the freshly baked chimney cakes from here. The chimney cakes are so soft and fluffy. My gelato ice cream melted pretty quickly but I still enjoyed the sweet, creamy soft serve. One has the option to get the chimney cake upside down in a cup and I have to say that is not a bad option because it helps with eating the ice cream and you won't have to worry about the oozy, dripping mess hehe that you will get a with a cone. Overall; Turn Dough is a good place for some delightful and sweet treats right by the beach

This location on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica so has a lot of cool places nearby. I stopped in over the weekend and the ladies working were quick & helpful. There were so many options that looked good, including fun summer flavors - it's so hard to choose! I ended up going with Sweet Cream Caramel Brownie and just loved it. I also tried my friend's Summer Corn & Blackberries and it's legit perfect for summer. I especially like this location as they have a few outdoor seats so you can do some people watching while chilling & eating. I love McConnell's and this location is a stellar one!

Then order at the middle of the shop. When I was there I was greeted by a very hardworking staff who's literally running everything by herself at like 9 PM. Hats off to her. She provided great service. After placing our order, you move to the right side and wait until your ice cream is to be finished and placed through a small window/hole. That's where many people take the photos. Then you proceed to exit to the right side. Pretty one flow system. I got the Pineapple Pandan. So goood. 10/10 rec.

It has so much pop of color, so much flow, so much good energy. Though, it was very busy in design, it was still a very chill place to be, very relaxing. The service was fantastic, the young lady who helped me was so kind and patient with me. I was down to my last $13 for my trip and I wanted dessert. She helped me make the right decision for me. She was really great, I really appreciate her, and I didn't even spend the whole $13. Prices are reasonable there. I got the dolewhip in the cone with almonds, mini mochi, and caramel. So delicious. It was indeed made with love, as it was made to order. I got lucky with my photos because a huge crowd came in after I placed my order, so don't let my photos fool you. This place does get busy. There were six people when I got there that were leaving and about twelve when I left. I highly recommend Turn Dough if you want a refreshing treat, especially to walk around at the promenade or Ocean Ave.

Yesterday I was in the area to watch a motivational speaker and drove past Penguins yogurt! I was…read moreso excited because when I was a little girl I used to LOVE Penguins frozen yogurt back in Lancaster locations. Upon entering I was so excited telling the owner about when I was younger, but they did mention it's not the same from all those years ago. This didn't stop me though I was here for frozen yogurt! They have a handful of ice cream and frozen yogurt options and you're allowed to do a taste test before ordering. I went with the cookies and cream low fat frozen yogurt and it was delicious, soft and smooth. As for price, I felt like $5 seems like allot for a medium with zero toppings, but I was happy to support this small business and it was very delicious. It isn't exactly the same as when I was a kid, but still absolutely perfect consistency and taste. Too bad I live an hour or two away (depending on traffic) or I would stop by once in a while! I definitely recommend stopping by for a cool treat next time you're in the area now that summer is coming!

Besides, it's great bang for the buck given the sizable serving size. We got the medium froyo, mix of peanut butter and original tart, which you could opt for side by side or swirl. As for toppings, they charged $1.95 for each 2 toppings but they're very generous with the portion. We tried cookie dough, cheesecake, pb chips, and chocolate sauce. Taste wise I'd say it's decent. Creamier than I expected, but certainly no complaints.

It's also self-serve for both the yogurt and toppings, which makes it fun and easy to customize exactly what you want. The yogurt itself is really good. I got the vanilla custard and peanut butter, and both were super creamy and delicious. It's one of those places that feels a little dangerous because I can already tell I'm going to want to come back often! Only note (not even a complaint): if they ever rotate flavors, a coffee custard would be amazing. I feel like that would be so good.

For quick stop, the spot is perfect as they provide dine-in space and has dedicated parking spot as well! It's basically self-serve and pay by weight basis. They provide quite rich selections of flavors and I'd say they're pretty good with flavor rotations and offering distinctive ones including caffe latte, acai, even boysenberry! So it can serve different preferences from those liking classic flavors like tart, vanilla, or chocolate until those peculiar ones. They also offer the ones that are more creamy to those that are more fruity. Toppings were also plenty even including the sauce options! You can sit at the outdoor patio right in front and enjoy people watching. Plus point, at every visit I have with different attendants, all of them have always been super friendly and helpful.
