    Was craving some dessert so thought to stop here. I use to come here as a kid with my mom. So my experience is literally based on price and food quality. I don't think a cookie and a funnel cake is worth 25 dollars. Which I shared with a friend. The customer service was okay. It has a Long Beach staple feeling to it being that it's in downtown. But I think overall you could find better desserts places for a better price and quality but if you're feeling nostalgic getting a funnel cake for old time sakes go for it .

    If you are a funnel cake lover, The Funnel House is an absolute must visit. From the moment you walk up, the experience is seamless, the ordering process is fast, easy, and efficient. What really stands out right away is the huge selection. There are so many tempting options that choosing just one can be surprisingly difficult (but in the best way possible). Now for the star of the show, the funnel cake itself. This is, without a doubt, the best funnel cake I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside while staying incredibly soft and chewy on the inside, it hits that ideal texture balance that's hard to find. It honestly surprised my husband and I when we took our first bite. We did not expect such a delight. The toppings are also generously portioned. Having tried funnel cakes at countless festivals and fairs, this one truly stands above the rest. If you're craving a classic treat done exceptionally well, this is the place to go. Must try!

    This is one of a few places where you can get a funnel cake in southern California. One at Knotts berry farm, Orange County fair and this place. This place is an assembly line! You can get a churro and funnel cakes with toppings! All is delicious. Workers are nice. Prices is a above average. But you get what you pay for. Treats are deliciously good. It will sooth your sweet tooth. This is a place to go! Come by the Shoreline if you are in the area!

    The snacks at The Funnel House are delicious. Enjoyed our funnel cake and the jouse made churro was fantastic. The out door area was clean and nice. The staff were friendly

    Got the churro here and I liked the texture, but a little interesting tasting for a churro. The dough was pretty spiced and my friend said it reminded her of Indian spices. Regardless, it was still a decent churro. This also was $7, which was not worth it for a churro lol

    Service is great, you have plenty of friendly teens, walking around, making the funnel cakes, filling the drinks. The ambience is real nice. You have a seating area right by the boardwalk and with shade. The cookies are really good! We tried the chocolate chip and seriously it's so fluffy and tastes homemade. Their toppings are excellent. Their jam is made in house. The only reason I gave four stars is because the funnel cake itself gets really chewy. It's made to order but when they get busy they just make as many as they can

    Free offer not honored

    The funnel cake and ice cream get 4 stars from me. The portion was big enough for 2 people to share. A bit overpriced, yes. There were a moderate amount of toppings and ice cream flavors to choose from...not that impressive. What was disappointing was that we came here over another spot because of the free churro with $15 purchase offer from Yelp. Even after I showed it to 2 employees, they refused to honor it, saying, "We don't really keep up with what's on Yelp." They weren't rude, but it's bad business, especially when there are so many other dessert options in the area. Just based on that, I wouldn't return.

    Located in the Shoreline Village shopping center on the pier . Make sure to pay for parking at one of the metered kiosk or download the App ( Passport) . My GF and I after we walked around the pier we were dragged in by the sweet aroma for some funnel cake & churro, funnel cake made fresh to order. Grab your favorite sweets of Churros, funnel cakes , cookies, ice cream, coffee and cold drinks sit by the pier in the public lounge and star gaze while relaxing listening to the ocean waves hitting against the dock.

    First of all...when did they start making cookies lighter than a cloud but sturdy enough to hold onto? We had chocolate chip cookies, M&M cookies and a churro 10/10 for everything. I was mad the next day that I don't live in Long Beach and that I didn't get two dozen. If you're down in Long Beach I highly suggest treating your tastebuds. They will thank you for it... You're welcome!

    I always come here with people to share with and we still do too much. We got our funnel cake with strawberry topping and ice cream. Delicious, but I always fail to simply get the cake itself which is my favorite part. Conviniently located in Shoreline Village, you can walk up and order and enjoy your dessert at one of the benches or tables nearby as they don't have seating inside. It's directly across from the ice cream shop, so just know you have all the optionsss. lol

    You can never go wrong with delicious funnel cakes! This place is open late and it's near the beach. The staff are friendly and they're always playing good music. There is minimal seating inside but a lot of tables outside. Funnel cakes are made to-order and they have a lot of different ice cream flavors to choose from. You do have to pay for parking but you can also try to find street parking and take a short stroll to the location.

    I love this funnel cake spot. I found this spot a while ago and have frequented it every once in awhile. It's hard to find a good funnel cake and I crave it sometimes when there aren't any carnivals happening around me. It's a little expensive but the portions somewhat makeup for it, you can feed maybe 3-4 with it. The vibes with the employees were really good a while back, they were nice, attentive, and brought good energy but recently the service has been kind of lacking. They talk amongst themselves and don't acknowledge you when you ask for something they just do it, which I found a little odd.

    Just when my party of 4 (plus 2 pups) couldn't have another bite after stuffing our faces from the Yardhouse nearby, we got enticed by the idea of having a funnel cake... topped with fruit... and whipped cream... and since they had horchata, I had to have that, too. There was no line, so I was served almost immediately. I was given a choice of 2 kinds off fruit for toppings (went for banana and strawberry) and was handed my goodies rather quickly. We all shared the plate, and we all enjoyed it. It was almost nostalgic - I haven't had a funnel cake in probably over a decade. Sure brought back a lot of memories! FOOD: 5. It tasted exactly as I last remembered having it from who knows where. SERVICE: 3. Not a lot of interaction, but they were pretty fast. VALUE: 3. Average at best. PARKING: Private lot located in the shoreline village, so there is a fee. OVERALL: 3.5. They have other sweets to offer: ice cream, ice cream sandwich, churros, if funnel cakes are not your thing. But this is the place to cleanse your palate after a huge meal, or if only as a treat, for both small and big kids! So drop by and give 'em a try!

    Do you have gluten free options?

    Our funnel cakes are not gluten free. But we have ice cream, frozen yogurt (available at our business next door) and slushees that are.

    Do you have vegan options?

    Thanks for your question. Our funnel cakes and other baked goods do have eggs in our recipes. We do bake all items on site from scratch so we know all the ingredients! I would suggest that you visit our Ice Cream & Yogurt shop On The Boardwalk…

For our main course, I had the Rigatoni with fennel sausage, rucola, lemon & chili and my husband had the Steak Frites with aspen hanger steak, fresh cut frites & bearnaise sauce. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and very attentive. Everything was fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and it's clear they put a lot of care into what they do. The seating is outdoors in a nice patio area. Inside there is a bakery with yummy looking breads, cakes, muffins, croissants, coffees & more. This restaurant is a great addition to the neighborhood & definitely a place I'll be coming back to! Please be advised that there is little or no parking in their back lot but street parking is available. The yummies inside or worth the seeking a parking space. I recommend this neighborhood gem.

Bakery Review - solid pastries and coffee, but one pastry I had previously and recalled being a stand out, was not great the next time I got it, so what seems like it should be consistently good is perhaps not. Restaurant Review - very fussy table policy...there were at least 6 tables open and they wouldn't seat 2 out of 3 of our party until all of us were there. I get it if you're busy/have a waitlist, but to make us stand there while the table we eventually had sat empty the entire time we waited was a little annoying. Then, at the end of our meal, they told us our time at the table had expired. Really? In terms of the food, it was fine, nothing to write home about. It was more the service that was so off putting. The coffee was cold when served. At the end of the meal our server asked if we wanted desert, and when we asked for a desert menu he just said "Oh, you need to just go inside and look." It could have been worded more appropriately to say something like "We have great pastries and treats inside if you have room for desert" rather than "Would you like desert?", which leads to a dead end since he didn't offer any. And after reading other reviews, I wonder if we would have been allowed to eat those pastries at the table anyway? I'm in the area frequently, but will try other places going forward after these last couple of disappointing visits.

"If I give everyone a sample then what? No business" ... LOOL WHAT? My fiance was genuinely trying to pick something out and wanted to sample a flavor before deciding, but the staff member completely ignored him and made us feel unwelcome. We had every intention of purchasing a good amount to take home, but because of the attitude and lack of hospitality, we ended up only getting a couple of pieces and leaving. (I regret spending any money here) The products and ambiance were lovely, but customer service really matters, especially when you're trying to support a business. We left disappointed because this could have been such a nice experience.

I will say that I did not enjoy my main course of Porchetta. I felt like it had good flavor, but it wasn't cooked well and the center where the pork belly was supposed to be tender and melting was very tough, chewy and inedible to me. Despite this one dish I really liked the restaurant and I am eager to go back and try something different.
