Biscoff cookie butter cinnamon cone
crystal v.

Yummmmy!!! I spent at least 10 minutes looking at the menu deciding what to choose because every option looks delightful. It's the perfect place for a sweet treat on the beach, the vibes are immaculate. -1star because they charge $1 to flip the cone into a cup, I feel like it's too big for one person so sharing in a cup is the only way for me to eat it.

Located on the boardwalk, this spot has a bunch of delicious treats. I definitely suggest you check it out. - The Collins are unique and fluffy. In addition to being tasty, the cone is well adored with extras such as chocolate sauce, and cookie crumbles. - I appreciate that the item is served with a wooden spoon... Much better than plastic.

ICE CREAM, you scream, we all scream for chimney cake ice cream! Finally hopped on this chimney cake trend, and it's 100% the cone for me when it comes to my ice cream. With buttery, soft and chewy layers encrusted in sugar crystals that remind me of a super pillowy donut, these chimney cake cones are the perfect decadent addition to your soft serve or gelato. You can find this scrumptious, freshly made Czech dessert speciality (as well as ice cream, gelatos and shakes) at @turndough , the first chimney cake shop in LA! I've probably walked by this little hidden gem of an ice cream shop a million times on Santa Monica/Venice boardwalk, and I would highly recommend stopping by on a hot day to get a refreshing sweet treat that is lovingly made fresh to order!

Honey and Pistachio soft serve in a churro cone
Teresa B.

I am always looking for a yummy soft serve. Turn Dough was beyond that and more. I had the soft serve with pistachio and honey inside a churro cone. It was soooo good, but a big portion for more than I can handle. I suggest sharing it with someone. My son had the Strawberry shake which he of course raved about. It was a nice treat to end the evening walk at Venice Beach. It's a stall on the strand so if you're out walking, this would be a nice treat to have. Keep in mind that it is on the strand so you will have to pay for parking around the corner or at any of the parking lots near by. The service was on point. Thank you D for your kind hospitality and being patient as we looked through the menu. Thank you also for the recommendation.

So bright! It's hard to miss! I was craving soft serve while skating on the beach trail and this place caught my eye. It's a big pop of color with a side seating area. The portions here are pretty large, I was barely able to finish my ice cream even though I ordered the smallest thing on the menu. I had so many questions about how I was able to customize my order. The lady on the cash register was very kind and patient answering all my questions. I got soft serve in a cup with recess pieces. So milky and creamy, definitely hit the spot!

Turn Dough is at Venice Beach, and their logo will draw you in to see what they're about! The employee was helpful and answered all my questions to help me make the best choice. I ordered the baked cinnamon cone, vanilla bean, with a Captain Crunch and fruity pebble mix on top. It was really fun to eat while watching the skateboarder on the beach!

S'mores in a cup

Fun to watch them make the cinnamon rolled dough cup. I do recommend not getting Nutella or chocolate. It's just too much on it. The Boba shake was one of the best we've had.

Matcha Chimney Cone!
Shantelle S.

4th of July/2023: After enjoying a fun event on Venice Beach Boardwalk, on an incredibly sunny day, my friend & I were craving something cold & yummy to cool down; Turn Dough hit the spot! Matcha Kit Kat: Yummy vanilla bean Gelato with pretty much Matcha everything, including organic row matcha powder, matcha Kit Kat bar(Yum!) & matcha syrup! I enjoyed every single spoonful! Loved the flavors! Chimney Cone: Firm, placed in a cup, along w/a pretty Pink Spoon, which I'm grateful for; sunny day...it became a bit messy! Incredibly happy they gave me two wet Hand Wipes, because they definitely came in handy! While the cone was tasty, next time I'll try another flavor in just a cup! Maybe another flavor goes better with the Chimney Cone...hmmm! Location: Right on Oceanfront Walk, along the Venice Beach Boardwalk, in the heart of Venice Beach, where all of the action is! Overall: Friendly customer service, excellent location, grateful I can easily walk over, enjoyed the Matcha flavors, so I'll definitely return & try more flavors...in a cup! Also, willing to possibly try the chimney cone with a chocolate flavor!

Came here for dessert. The portion is huge so we got the artisan gelato Nutella bowl to share. The base was vanilla ice cream. The ice cream is pretty average but what made it good was the amount of toppings they mixed with the Ice cream. There was a good amount of chocolate, Nutella, strawberries, and kindered bueno so that every bite was delicious. They have so many options. Looking forward to returning to try their other flavors. Hard to find street parking but they have paid parking lots ($10) just steps away. The parking attendant was nice enough to allow us to park for free while we quickly ordered our ice cream.

One sweet place to go for dessert. My husband loved his shake!! Such a fun ice cream shop and clean

Brownie flavor in a cinnamon cone
Jetrina M.

We came here craving ice cream on a Friday night in Venice. It's located right in the area where there are a lot of restaurant and shops all facing the water. I ordered the brownie flavor in the cinnamon cone and it was about $13 pre-tip. It came with 2 brownie pieces and a good amount of chocolate drizzle with a base of vanilla soft serve. The cone was smaller than I anticipated, other pictures showed the cone being visible outside the cup but mine was smaller than the size of the cup. They gave us wet wipes to clean up afterwards, which was appreciated. Overall a bit pricy but expected for a beachfront ice cream stand.

Ambiance: the desserts shop is located in the busiest walkway in venice beach, parking garage nearby and there's also metered street parking Service: very friendly and placed the order and prepared the food adequately Food: variety choices on the menu for ice cream and slush, and you could also create your own, they serve Italian Style Gelato Vanilla Bean, the soft serve on top of chimney cakes, the central European pastries Minnie Macarons - ***** Dulce De Leche, Ice Cream, Rainbow Sprinkles, Macarons, one of the most beautiful ice cream cones I've had, highly recommend for its presentation and great taste Price: the ice cream and slushes cost between $10 to $15 each

We MADE IT!!! Brought my foodie girl friend to this World Famous Chimney Cakes with Ice Cream shop located in Venice Beach, and we are so impressed with their customer service and the delicious icy treats. Their cones and ice cream are handcrafted daily from scratch. Street parking is available but it might be crowded on the weekends, this shop is walking distance to the beach so the views are STUNNING.  The girl who introduces the menu and helps us order is SUPER helpful and she is very sweet and friendly. What an amazing experience!!! Matcha Milkshakes | $11.90 -- very smooth texture, well blended matcha powder with the handcrafted vanilla ice cream, topped with matcha wafer candies. Ferrero Rocher Ice Cream Cone | $13.90 -- surprisingly it's not too sweet and pretty organic taste. Creamy soft serve topped with three Ferrero Rocher chocolate. Quite a nice summer icy treat at the beach. LA foodies!! What are you waiting for!!!!

Can you just get a chimney cake?

Yes you can, cone shape not cylinder as in Europe.

Do you closed at 9pm on Monday's? That's what your website states but I just got here at 8:15pm and the staff has shut down all the ordering windows.

We went on a Wednesday night just before 8:00 PM, & enjoyed our cone at the beach. We left just before 9:00 PM & they were already dark.… Read more

Loved being able to see the production room, and instantly knew with the amount of locals casually hanging around on a beautiful weekend day that this was a great find! Some tables outside, couches and chairs inside, cozy. Everything looked delicious! I ended up with a savory focaccia and a sourdough loaf with inclusion of garlic. Pleasantly surprised. There's no better bread than a sourdough from a starter. And the colors are beautiful! Once home I sliced up the sourdough loaf and was surprised to find garlic cloves, but the flavors worked. Paired the loaf with some apricot jam in the morning, quite delightful. I sliced up the focaccia and grilled up a tuna melt with a fresh tomato and it was oh so delicious. Looks like some online ordering may be available. Menu is online. A very eclectic variety of customers, but I can see why they all flock here. Good food, good people.

I personally enjoy their kouign amann the best as their bread does have a somewhat savory/mildly bitter kick from the turmeric which blends beautifully with the sweeter pastries. Their loaves are great too. I've made garlic bread to ricotta + jam bread with their sourdough and it always is a party hit, especially because the layers of blue and yellow are also so pretty to look at! The fact that the bread is organic and on the healthy side is just a bonus. The cafe itself has some seats and you can see the baking happening. They also have a section of artisanal food items on the side. The staff there are always so pleasant. I am obsessed!

**FAVORITE LA BAKERY**…read more After years of living in LA and working my way through just about every bakery in town, I finally found the one. This is my soul bakery. PARKING We lucked out with street parking right in front. It's limited, and I can see it getting tight on weekends, but doable with patience. PASTRIES & CAKES PRINCESS CAKE - $6.50 I ordered this slice for my birthday, and it absolutely delivered. Alternating layers of airy sponge cake, vanilla custard, and house-made raspberry jam, topped with a dome of whipped cream and finished in light green almond paste. Every bite was balanced--rich but never cloying. Perfect texture, perfect sweetness. Rating: 5/5 RASPBERRY LEMON MOUSSE CAKE - $6.50 An indulgent combination of fresh raspberries and mousse layered with feather-light sponge cake brushed in lemon syrup. Finished with bits of raspberry-infused Valrhona chocolate, this cake hits that ideal sweet-tart balance. Bright, elegant, and not overly sweet--exactly how dessert should be. Rating: 5/5 SPANDAUER - $3.50 Understated and refined. Almond paste, custard, and crunchy almond flakes come together beautifully. Soft meets crisp in all the right ways. Rating: 4/5 KRINGLE - $3.50 A flaky pastry filled with almond paste and custard, topped with sugar and almond flakes. Simple, comforting, and executed perfectly. Excellent with coffee. Rating: 4.5/5 OVERALL Warm, friendly service paired with exceptional pastries and cakes. This place nails balance, flavor, and texture without relying on excess sweetness.
