Ice cream combined with warm doughnuts. What a concept. Service was on point, the place is clean and well lit.

Turn Dough is a brand new spot to get sweet treats in Santa Monica! I've walked past this a couple of times per week for the last several months, and the 4th of July is the first time I've seen it open, so I decided to give it a shot! The menu has several options including boba teas, coffee, and crepes, but the soft serve section offers the biggest variety of options. Choose between about 15 menu options, or build your own, add toppings, flavor drizzles, and add a cinnamon sugar chimney cone filled with a spread of your choice (Nutella, cookie butter, or dulce de leche). The soft serve flavors are vanilla gelato or pineapple Dole whip. Toppings include fresh fruit, Oreos, sprinkles, nuts, cereals, M&Ms, and other options, and chocolate, caramel, and raspberry are the drizzle sauce options. For those looking for something crazy, Turn Dough also lets you add edible 24K gold and/or CBD oil, though I didn't try either. For those looking for something less crazy or messy, milkshakes are an option as well. While at first glance it's a little expensive, the serving sizes are definitely big enough to split between two people, especially if you "make it upside down," which gets you a little extra ice cream for $1. (Note that the edible gold specialty option starts at $32.90, it's definitely its own category.) You can tell this is new -- it's super clean, and there isn't a single table to sit inside, just a couple of stand up counter spaces. Hopefully they add some tables soon to encourage more people to eat inside. Overall, I thought the gelato creation was tasty. It's a lot of sugar (yes, ice cream usually is, but all the toppings, sauces, and chimney cone made it feel especially sweet, even to a sweet tooth like me), but a yummy cold treat for a summer day. I'd certainly return again.

Fun, happy, Barbie Pink ambience! The Turn Dough refers to the soft doughy sugary cone," trdelnik' made popular in Prague has now landed in Santa Monica! Prices are expensive, but you get a fun creative,over the top creation! I would want to have seating inside to enjoy my soft serve ice cream,but ... that is just me.

Boba Lab was one of the vendors at a work event and the customer service was amazing. The drinks…read morehonestly weren't my favorite, they were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the boba itself was more bland compared to other honey boba I've had before. That said, the owners were some of the kindest people I've met, and that genuinely made the experience so much better. Good customer service and warm, welcoming people really do make a difference. You can tell they care about their customers. Even though the boba wasn't exactly my preference, I still left with a positive impression because of how nice they were.

I normally am not one to leave reviews, but I had Boba Lab yesterday, and unfortunately it was not…read moregood at all. I had the passion fruit tea 25% sweet which was technically advertised as made with real passion fruit puree but it was just a premade syrup from Teazone. I received the drink and was disappointed that it tasted like water with some passion fruit resemblance. I had expected a stronger tea flavor since I did less sweet, but it tasted like sweetened water. I ended up discarding the drink. We also had gotten a classic black milk tea, which also tasted watered down, and finally we got the ube coconut smoothie, which for some reason was grey and white. We got that one at 75% sweet, but it was way too sweet and left a weird residue in my mouth. Very disappointed and would not come back again.
