Yum!! We stopped into Venice Ave Creamery for a quick treat…read morebefore hitting the road back home. They were extremely busy the line was out the door but moving quickly. While we waited outside there was gentleman playing music and singing praise to the Lord. Once we got inside you can see all the flavors of the board which helps a lot because we were helped almost immediately after walking in the door. The girl who helped us asked what kind of flavors were we looking for and she worked quickly to get us our treats. My kids ended up getting the chocolate peanut butter eggs and a scoop of cookie dough with caramel. It was a little pricey I think for both the kids ice cream was $17. Both of their ice cream flavors were spot on and tasted of good quality. Very fresh and the texture was very creamy and smooth. Overall it was delicious and we enjoyed our experience.

The line is very long for good reason: fantastic ice cream with so many flavor options! Cute story: in the long line our little girls made friends with the people ahead of us--and the gentleman insisted on paying for the children's ice cream. How sweet was that on Valentine's Day! To keep the spirit of love going, girls made a donation to a talented street musician nearby! We tried cake, mint chocolate chip, Oreo--all chock-a-block filled with the stir ins and flavor. An ice cream institution!

They did have a fair amount of Gluten Free yogurts and the signs were very visible. You make your own yogurt cup here and add whatever you like. The server had the personality of a wet mop and wasn't friendly at all. She just stood there, no talking except for telling us the price. I don't think I will be coming back any time soon.

So we searched this place out because we heard they truly make the best key lime pie in the area…read more.. you know, everybody says they have the best one... But, this pie is outstanding.

This place is definitely worth the visit, the owners and super sweet and the food is amazing. As…read moresoon as I walked in I saw that Nutella danish and it was COVERED in Nutella. Most bakeries are stingy with Nutella and I love Nutella and they loaded it so you get a good spread in every bite which is what I love. You can tell the food is fresh and they can warm it up if you prefer it. I ordered 4 things and the total can to about 20 bucks which is a steal. The inside is very clean as well considering customers come in and out which is lovely. They also have fruity, chocolate, savory and a lot to pick from. They also serve matcha which I love and it was good quality and a variety of coffee. Smoothies are also an option which I didn't get the chance to try. Please come visit this place it's amazing for the experience and price!
