first time visiting bacio di latte here in Marina del Rey…read more It was actually next to where I go to Pilates. There was actually a lot of stuff in this plaza that I have never seen before since we typically go to the Raleys next-door. The service was really good, they let us try several flavors It was surprisingly warm there outside and inside. But luckily they have the covers down so it would give the café some shade

My favorite was Giandujotto (5 stars) because it included the delicious combination of chocolate and hazelnuts. Stracciatella (4 stars) included tiny specks of chocolate in the creamy vanilla gelato. Fragola (4 stars) was a refreshing strawberry sorbet, which was a nice contrast to the richer chocolaty flavors I chose. The service (4 stars) was good. They were eager to help and offered samples. If you are new and not familiar with the selection like myself, you'll have to move around other people to get a better glimpse of the flavor names and description. I liked this dessert spot after having dinner nearby.

The BEST gluten-free desserts in the city. So glad that they did not close, just moved next door!…read moreFavorites: brownies, cookies and chocolate chip cookie dough balls, chocolate chip pumpkin loaf. The Thanksgiving offerings of focaccia bread, stuffing, delicious pies and more make hosting so easy. Their staff is friendly, kind and knowledgeable. An awesome shop!

Sad to see an underwhelming selection available compared to what pictures previously showed…read more Assuming that it's because they're inside the bar now. Since it's quite loud inside it was difficult to communicate about our selections, but service was friendly. Cheesecake was good, lemon bar too sweet for my liking, pumpkin bread ...simply AMAZING, worth a trip just for it. Definitely appreciative for the availability of gluten free treats, even with a limited selection.

The most beautiful pie shop and such tasty pie!…read more Surprisingly, my favorite pie here is the Southern Pecan Pie. You can't even tell it's gluten-free but an added bonus that it is since my wife has Celiac! I also really love the Carolina Classic Cherry Pie and candy bar pies like the Milky Way Pie. Pick up your pie and walk to the other side of the building for a view of the marina while you enjoy your sweet treat!

We used to love these pies, but quality is lacking and it isn't what it used to be. Our most recent…read moremini pie was a joke and had almost no filling (see photo). Not worth the cost for what you get.

SusieCakes in MDR is incredible!! Definitely a must go!!…read more Decent amount of free lot parking in front. Employees are super nice/friendly! Never have had a bad experience. Every sweet treat is amazing. Definitely am enjoying their current limited offering (blueberry vanilla), but love their classic celebration cake as well as their carrot cake. Their cupcakes are fantastic. The minis are also great to pick up for a smaller treat. Definitely don't sleep on their cookies. Very happy to have SusieCakes here in MDR!!

Fluffy and moist sponge cake with decently sweet layers of buttercream. The cake design is mostly simple yet still looking gorgeous. My top 3 so far are probably their Vanilla Celebration Cake, Red Velvet, and Carrot Cake. Their various cupcakes are great options too for easier bites! Have been ordering online and only recently paying a visit to their store and am in love with the color palette for sure as it's giving that Tiffany's vibe.

My boyfriend told me Levain has the best cookies in all of LA and all I can say is wow…read more We got the original chocolate chip walnut, two chip chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter chip, and a couple seasonal: lemon cookie and the carrot cake cookie. Every single cookie was massive. Super thick, soft and chewy in the middle, with that perfect crisp bite on the outside. The chocolate chip walnut is the classic for a reason and the one you have to get, but the dark chocolate peanut butter was especially delicious too. Fast counter service. Nice people. Yummy cookies In and out Such a good stop on Abbot Kinney. Dangerous, honestly.

Got lucky and snatched a parking spot near the bakery. It took almost an hour to drive here but I…read morehadn't had a Levain cookie in 2 years so I thought what the heck. Shop was busy with lots of people for a weekday morning. It was clean and inviting. I got a few cookies: chocolate chip walnut (yum), carrot cake, oatmeal raisin, and a scone. Overall, the cookies were a tad too sweet for me. But I love chocolate chip walnut cookies so I got 3. Pretty pricey but they are huge so there you go.

Here's a polished Yelp review you can post:…read more KC's Crepe Café is truly one of those hidden gems that make Marina del Rey special. Tucked away in Fisherman's Wharf, it's the kind of place you almost want to keep secret -- but it's too good not to share. The coffee is excellent -- smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care. But the real star is the crepes. There's a great variety, from savory to sweet, and everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you're in the mood for something light or indulgent, you'll find an option that hits the spot. What makes the experience even better is the owner. The café is run by a warm and gracious Japanese gentleman who clearly takes pride in his craft. You can feel the attention to detail and hospitality in every order. If you're walking around Marina del Rey and want a relaxed, charming stop for coffee and crepes, KC's is absolutely worth it. Cozy, authentic, and quietly exceptional. I'll definitely be back.

I came here this morning, and before anything else, let's start with the negatives: there are none…read more From the moment I walked in, the experience was warm and genuine. I was helped by a lovely Asian gentleman who took my order with care and kindness, and that attention carried straight through to the food. These people know how to make crêpes -- the real way. Not thick, doughy, pancake-style impostors like so many places serve, but thin, delicate, authentically French crêpes. That thinness matters. It's what makes every bite more flavorful, allowing the fillings to shine instead of being buried under heavy batter. The Nutella crêpe was an experience on its own. Because the crêpe is so thin, the chocolate melts instantly on your tongue. The warmth releases the deep cocoa aroma, coating your mouth in smooth, rich sweetness without ever feeling overwhelming. It's balanced, indulgent, and incredibly satisfying. The breakfast omelette was just as impressive. Savory, well-seasoned, and comforting, with the salt hitting your taste buds first -- waking up your palate -- followed by the richness of the eggs. I added avocado for just $0.50, and it was absolutely worth it. The creamy texture softened the saltiness perfectly, creating a smooth, rounded bite that lingered in the best way. This place understands flavor, texture, and authenticity. When crêpes are made this thin, every ingredient speaks louder, tastes clearer, and feels more intentional. I'll be back -- without hesitation.

I'm so happy that I'm able to eat diary again specially ice cream…read more I have missed eating ice cream so bad. I came to salt and straw by myself after finishing shopping.

I really like ice cream shops that have unique flavors and high quality flavors and this place delivered on both fronts. I sampled a bunch of flavors and the coffee and nuts flavor was pretty good, but ended up getting the strawberry with black pepper and the chocolate brownie on a waffle cone. Both of those flavors were pretty solid, I liked the chocolate brownie a lot more than the strawberry, the strawberry had portions where it tasted straight like strawberry syrup that was a bit too sweet for my liking (even though I have a sweet tooth) The worker was nice even though we had like 4-5 samples before deciding what to buy without any pressure so that was nice. I like that they give napkins and a spoon as well if you ask. The only negatives were the price and I wish the waffle cone was made fresh right on the spot. But otherwise, would come back again!

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
