We were looking for some shaved ice after dinner and Korean Ice Co was perfect. It's located in a…read moreplaza with parking on the edge of Sawtelle, so that's convenient. Your first half hour is free with validation with each half hour being $5 thereafter. The space was quite busy when we arrived, but we were able to order at the kiosk and find a table outside. Between 5 people, we ordered two regular size bingsoo (~$11 each). We got to try the Mango and Cereal Milk flavors; both of which were topped with a strawberry. The presentation was so nice and the texture was even better. The ice just melted in your mouth and the flavors were on point. The only thing is that the condensed milk they give you is not as creamy and sweet, which almost seemed like an evaporated milk. Such a great treat on a hot day or after a meal. There's a lot of fun flavors to try and the regular size is enough for 2-3 people.

I got the mango shaved ice and didn't like it very much for the following reasons…read more 1. I tasted sugar more than mango. 2. The mango topping wasn't fresh. It was canned mango. 3. The condensed milk topping was watered down and spilled everywhere. I would've preferred the original condensed milk. 4. They charged $1 for the mochi topping, which should've been included for the amount of money you pay for a cup of the shaved ice. Sadly I won't be back.

After seeing Cafe Knotted on Instagram, I knew I wanted to give it a try whilst in LA! I stopped…read morearound noon on a Saturday -- no wait. I ordered four donuts including the chocolate, strawberry cream, roasted sweet corn, and banana cream. For drink, I got a strawberry matcha latte. I enjoyed the drink right away which was really yummy! It was sweet but too sweet and a good balance of elements. The donuts I wasn't able to try right away but really enjoyed them once I did. My favorite flavor was chocolate closely followed by banana cream. Overall, had a really yummy experience at Cafe Knotted!

If you're looking for a quick and delicious treat while shopping, this little donut vendor is…read moredefinitely worth a stop. The donuts were incredibly soft, fresh, and delightfully chewy, tasting like they had just been made. Their coffee was just as impressive, made with high-quality beans that paired perfectly with the pastries. The service was friendly, efficient, and fast, making it easy to grab your order and be on your way. The only downside is that there isn't any seating, since it's set up as a vendor rather than a full café. Still, it's super convenient to pick up fresh donuts and coffee to enjoy as you continue shopping. I'd happily come back whenever I'm in the area!

This was my first time enjoying a Japanese soufflé and - wow - I've been missing out…read more I love that there are so many flavors offered, and that you can get hot or cold soufflés. We opted for the set of 4 cold soufflés and tried out the pistachio, Oreo, matcha and tiramisu - all quite fluffy, light, not overly sweet at all, and definitely suitable for two to share. All flavors were spot on. At about $5 per soufflé, the price seems reasonable for the portion, quality and presentation. We opted for a 4-pack, which came out to about $22. Be warned that the hot soufflés do take about 20 minutes to prepare, but I'm sure they're worth the wait. Next time, with more bandwidth, I'll be sure to stick around and wait for one. Not much of a hangout spot inside - better as a grab and go. Decent decor, casual ambiance.

Excited this place is open! Got the tiramisu soufflé- it was tasty! The tiramisu flavor was on the…read morelight side, so it tasted like the original to me. And wasn't too sweet. Need to try other flavors! They make the soufflé pancakes in store which was fun to watch. Overall with the price ($6) and taste, I would recommend! Good dessert to bring as a gift/ party. Only street parking in Westwood.

B Sweet absolutely saved my Lola's 94th birthday party!…read more We had originally booked a halo-halo caterer, but at the last minute she failed to communicate that she had canceled. We were in a panic trying to find someone who could make 50 halo-halos on such short notice. I called B Sweet hoping for a miracle, and their team came through! They were so kind, accommodating, and willing to rush our large order. Thanks to them, we were able to have halo-halo at my Lola's birthday after all. Not only was their customer service amazing, but the halo-halo was absolutely delicious. Our guests loved it, and everything was prepared perfectly despite the last-minute request. Thank you to the entire staff and manager for going above and beyond.

I've been coming to B Sweet for years to get my fix of the Sluttiest Brownie, so imagine my horror…read morewhen I stopped by recently and they didn't have one. Forced to explore other options, I ordered the Ooey Gooey Butter Bar and a chocolate brownie bar instead. And honestly? They can do no wrong. I was especially shocked by how much I loved the Ooey Gooey Butter Bar. As someone who usually gravitates toward anything involving large amounts of chocolate, I wasn't expecting to fall for a dessert that didn't revolve around it. Yet there I was, happily eating every last bite and wondering where it had been all my life. Everything I've had from B Sweet over the years has been consistently delicious. Rich, indulgent, and exactly the kind of treat that makes an ordinary day feel a little more special. I also love seeing how they've grown. There used to be just the Sawtelle location, and now there are multiple locations spreading sweetness across LA. A longtime favorite and one of the few places that has never let me down when dessert is involved.

Parking is extremely difficult for this MeloMelo location however if you're lucky and patient…read moreenough to get a parking then you'll be able to experience an amazing coconut dessert. First off this coconut dessert was fresh and delicious, we ordered the mango coconut dessert and triple latte. The coconut portion was fresh, great texture and most importantly to us, not watery. Secondly the interior was nice and clean, a few tables to enjoy if eating there. The girl helping us was friendly and welcoming. This location definitely trumps the Irvine location and I can now see why the Westchester location closed. The Sawtelle location is in a prime location, plenty of potential customer and the coconut dessert was amazingly delicious!

There's also a menu of matcha/tea lattes, which are whisked by hand and made to order! I'm giving the Sesame Walnut Coconut Jelly a 4/5 because while it was delicious, the ratio of the coconut jelly to topping is a little off. The sesame topping was quite watery, which led to the coconut jelly dissipating halfway through enjoying it.

Discovering Korean bingsu (shaved ice) was such a surprise for me, and Mewame completely changed…read morethe way I think about desserts. I never imagined ice could be so soft, fluffy, and full of flavor--it literally melts in your mouth. I fell in love after the very first bite. Ever since I found this place, I've been coming here almost every day. My favorite is the chocolate bingsu, but honestly, every flavor I've tried has been amazing. I've had bingsu at a few other places in Koreatown, but Mewame is by far my favorite. The quality, presentation, and taste are on another level. The café is spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed, and I love the location too. 20/10--absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Today we tried two things: the pistachio shaved ice and the matcha milkshake…read more First, the location. The shop is in West Hollywood, near Trader Joe's and next to a Pilates studio. It's a little hidden, and parking is not great. You may find parking near Trader Joe's, or use street parking for around $1. Now, the important part: the food. Pistachio Shaved Ice This one was disappointing. When you order something pistachio-flavored, you expect that rich, nutty pistachio taste. We've tried a lot of pistachio desserts, and this one tasted like... sugar wearing a green outfit. There was almost no pistachio flavor. The portion was also pretty small. It had cream on the bottom, shaved ice in the middle, more cream on top, and some crushed pistachios. It looked interesting, but the flavor and texture were very basic. Nothing creative, nothing memorable. The biggest problem is simple: it's called pistachio shaved ice, but the pistachio forgot to show up. Matcha Milkshake The matcha milkshake was okay. The matcha flavor was fairly strong, but it was still mostly sweet. There wasn't much of that fresh, slightly bitter matcha aroma or aftertaste. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't special. Overall, we give this place: 3 out of 5. Not terrible, but probably not a place we would rush back to. The desserts were sweet, but they were missing a little soul.

Second time here after a friend introduced me a while back. I actually loved the depth of the tea…read moreflavor, so I had to return. I ordered the Pistachio Matcha with Oat Milk + Jasmine Silk Boba at 50% sweetness. The pistachio flavor was dominant on this, and the creaminess goes well with the tea flavored boba. This actually tasted like a dessert drink to me, but it was still refreshing. It was not overly sweet, but I'd probably request even less sweetener next time. The jasmine silk boba has a fun, softer than Jello kind of texture. The staff seem friendly, though there isn't much interaction with them if you use their kiosk to place your order. The space is clean and has some benches for you to sit and wait for your order, but I don't recall seeing any tables so it's definitely a to-go kinda spot. I recommend and will come back here for boba when visiting the area again.

Lots of boba shops have come and gone from the immediate area, and I miss them quite a bit...! OOO definitely has a certain aesthetic, AND a pretty high quality bar. I don't think I've ever waited for tea to brew quite like I did when I was here - it's certainly a shock to the system to wait for a boba drink for 15+ minutes, given how fast they're usually available! - but it's delicious, and worth the wait. There's an extra element of care involved that really helps the drinks shine. Besides that, the staff was all super nice and appreciative of folks' patience, so that was a welcome element of the wait. I'll definitely be back to try a bunch of different drinks!
