1. il laboratorio del gelato
New York, NY 10002
(212) 343-9922
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
When I lived in NY, until 5 years ago, il laboratorio was in this little semi-basement location near the tenement museum. So I was surprised when my cousin said we were coming here and instead it was right by Katz's deli. But the long lines and…More »
2. Blockheads Shavery
Los Angeles, CA 90025
(310) 445-8725
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Desserts
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
It's always slightly nervewracking when there's a "deal" involved (in this case, a free shaved snow for elites) because you feel bad if things go south. Lucky for me, this place is pretty baller.
Blockheads is located on Mississippi just west of…More »
3. Whipp'd LA
West Hollywood, CA 90046
(323) 300-4722
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: West Hollywood
All us LA Disney fanatics have one thing in common - we know how wonderful Dolewhip is. Yet there's one big drawback for getting DW at the happiest place on earth - there can be a 20 minute long wait for the frozen novelty. It's good, but not 20…More »
4. Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop
We went to Fire Island while visiting our friends in Anchorage. And now, three months later, I'm still dreaming about their baguette. The smell upon entering the bakery was awesome and everything looked so delectable that if we had spent more time…More »
5. 21 Choices
Pasadena, CA 91105
(626) 304-9521
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Pasadena
I had heard the name "21 Choices" before but didn't know where they were or exactly what the whole concept was. I'm not the biggest froyo fan, either. But when we passed by the shop while strolling through Old Town Pasadena and saw the mob in the…More »
6. Menchie's
Santa Monica, CA 90403
(310) 393-4242
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
How adorable is this place?
Whomever decided to locate this Menchie's where they did is an absolute genius. Across the street from an elementary school? Yeah, that's smart thinking.
I like the flavors here and the fact that many of the flavors don't…More »
7. La Monarca Bakery
Santa Monica, CA 90403
(310) 451-1114
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea,
Desserts
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
After a daunting trip to the post office across the street to purchase stamps, I realized that I needed to get myself some dinner. I saw the lights inside La Monarca and thought I'd check it out to see if they were a dinner option.
Well, they're not.…More »
8. Dots Cupcakes
Pasadena, CA 91105
(626) 744-7719
I'm a big fan of the cupcake. In New York, I'd frequent Magnolia and Buttercup. I check out SusieCakes when I head the mile up to Brentwood. So when i went to Pasadena, I decided to check out Dots. And I was not disappointed.
I'd only heard of…More »
9. Yogurtland
Los Angeles, CA 90025
(310) 268-8388
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
I'm not the biggest fan of the whole frozen yogurt craze, as evidenced by my lackluster reviews of many other Yogurt spots. But after my pal Iska's review of the Overland Ave Yogurtland, I was craving some froyo like woah all weekend long. Luckily,…More »
10. Aurélie:The Cookie Guru
Santa Monica, CA 90401
(310) 882-5036
I came here to get some birthday cookies for J yesterday. It's in the fairly empty Market at Santa Monica Place, and is composed of a kiosk right in the center. You can view some of the ingredients along the kiosk, like open carafes of milk and…More »
11. SusieCakes Bakery
Los Angeles, CA 90049
(310) 442-2253
Having come to LA from New York, I got a taste of the heaven that is the original Magnolia Bakery. But at over $2/each (which now seems cheap by comparison), us students couldn't quite indulge in these treats all the time... nor did we have the time…More »
12. Pinkberry
Los Angeles, CA 90045
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Westchester / LAX
I'd generally give pinkberry 3 stars. And the last visit I gave it two. So why would I give this one a 4 star review? As Nelly said: "hey, must be the mon-ay."
Every place at LAX is a rip-off. Take La Brea Bakery - I love you Nancy Silverton, but…More »
13. Theron's Frozen Custard
It's a bit hard to find without the big sign - it's on Nevada (a smaller road) and down a driveway. But once you're there you're in for a treat. The concretes are really tasty - the frozen custard is made really well so it's not sticky and they'll…More »
14. Extraordinary Desserts
San Diego, CA 92101
(619) 294-7001
Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Downtown
Despite "Top Chef: Just Desserts", Momofuku's Christina Tosi is perhaps the only pastry chef that you ever hear about. At most restaurants patrons will just pass on desserts altogether without looking at the menu. So why not segregate the sweet…More »
15. Cold Stone Creamery
Los Angeles, CA 90064
(310) 470-1260
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
I remember when Cold Stone was a huge deal. In college, we'd sometimes go to the one in Times Square because the employees would always be singing Cold Stone versions of the Milkshake Song. Maybe it's because of the Aziz Ansari Cold Stone jokes.…More »
16. Sugarspoon
Came here when visiting Anchorage with friends... we all had a sweet tooth in the evening and they recommended that we go to Sugarspoon.
The service was a bit gruff - at one point we asked for small plates (as we were sharing a few desserts amongst…More »
17. Pinkberry
Santa Monica, CA 90401
(310) 394-4982
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
I hadn't been to a Pinkberry in over a year and I suppose that a lot has changed in that time. First off, there are more flavors - chocolate, coconut, pomegranate, etc. And now you get unlimited toppings, whereas before you had to pay for extra…More »
18. Life is Sweet
Toronto, ON M4E 1G9
Canada
(416) 698-0555
Now that our wedding is over I just wanted to update my review. We had booked with Life is Sweet in December 2009 for our wedding, having really wanted cupcakes instead of the typical wedding cake (not because it's a fad, but because we love…More »
