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

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!

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!

Jill G.

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.

Susie L.

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.

Jen S.

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

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.

Maruko X.

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!!!!

Read this as a 3.5 - 4. On my beach tour at Venice Beach, I stumbled across this humble ice cream shop and had to Czech (pun intended) it out. You get a decent variety of filler material (Nutella is the way to go), toppings, and ice cream flavors. I liked the cinnamon cone more than I liked the ice cream which was just alright compared to the other ice cream spots that I visited in LA. This is definitely a good novelty dessert for those who want to try it and unique compared to some of the other offerings on Venice Beach. $8 on average was about what you expect for the cinnamon cone and ice cream. All in all, a pretty good ice cream joint. IG: Mood4foodeatery read more

It looks better than it tastes. It's not bad, but maybe my expectations where just to high. However, my experience with the rude Asian lady at the counter was very bad. My wife and I, are from Europe and we've never seen anything like that, so my wife wanted to record it. We asked nicely whether we could record it, because we thought it was a funny/unusual way to make ice cream. We told her that we would only record her hands and NOT her face. She looked at us and gave us the face you make when you indirectly ask people whether they are stupid or not, and asked: "Have you never seen ice cream before?" My wife was ready with the camera, but had NOT started the recording and the lady said "It seems like your wife is already recording, I not ok with that".. And then a few seconds after with creepy smile she said: "I can sue you for that". So I told my wife to put away her camera. That experience totally ruined my day and visit to Venice beach, because she made us feel like to dumb tourists. I'm totally fine with people not being ok with being recorded, but formulate it more kindly. Here is an advice to the lady; Next time at least try to smile and at least try to pretend you like your job! read more

Both of those flavors were pretty solid, I liked the chocolate brownie a lot more than the strawberry, the strawberry had portions where it tasted straight like strawberry syrup that was a bit too sweet for my liking (even though I have a sweet tooth) The worker was nice even though we had like 4-5 samples before deciding what to buy without any pressure so that was nice. I like that they give napkins and a spoon as well if you ask. The only negatives were the price and I wish the waffle cone was made fresh right on the spot. But otherwise, would come back again!

Besides, it's great bang for the buck given the sizable serving size. We got the medium froyo, mix of peanut butter and original tart, which you could opt for side by side or swirl. As for toppings, they charged $1.95 for each 2 toppings but they're very generous with the portion. We tried cookie dough, cheesecake, pb chips, and chocolate sauce. Taste wise I'd say it's decent. Creamier than I expected, but certainly no complaints.

The lavender flavor was very strong and tasty. In addition, the honeycomb bits added a welcomed crunchy texture. I got a one scoop and wow the portion is huge. It was $8.50, so the portion size makes sense. However, it was definitely a bit too much ice cream for one sitting, so I definitely recommend getting a child's scoop or sharing the one scoop.

Came across this ice cream shop by chance while out on a date, and I'm glad we decided to stop in!…read more There is a small parking lot in front, but spaces are limited, so you may need to find street parking depending on when you visit. They offer a great variety of ice cream flavors, and one of the coolest parts was watching them make the waffle cones fresh on the spot. The ice cream itself was rich, creamy, and tasted high quality. Paired with a warm, freshly made waffle cone, it made for an excellent treat. The staff was friendly and happy to offer samples before ordering. One thing to note: if you change your flavor selection after you've already paid, they'll need to process a refund and ring up a new transaction. Overall, we had a great experience. Between the delicious ice cream, fresh waffle cones, and friendly customer service, it's definitely a place I'd visit again!

The flavors are really good but a bit on the sweet side (with the exception of the black sesame cookies & cream flavor). Got a flight (4 half scoops) with: 1. Japanese Neapolitan: 8/10, they scooped the matcha, hojicha, Hokkaido as they recommended that it went really well with black sesame cookies and cream. I only wish the flavors were more fragrant 2. Vietnamese Rocky Road: 7/10, not sure if scooped the right flavor as it didn't taste much like Rocky road or Vietnamese coffee ice cream 3. Pandan Rafaello: 9/10, awesome if you like pandan flavor with white chocolate 4. Black sesame cookies and cream: 9/10, the cookies and cream added creaminess to the black sesame Parking: lot has 4 spots in front, 5-6 on the side, and 5-6 in the back and it's shared with the barbershop next door. Was not hard to find parking TLDR: would definitely come again to try more flavors and they even have a seasonal menu which means you will never run out of delicious flavors to try!

Wow, I was so excited to see that AWAN had a new location in Venice and I was completely blown away…read moresince I hadn't tried it before! This is supposed to be one of the best ice creams out there, it was started as an artisanal LA based vegan ice cream pop-up, and I had no idea that it was vegan when I ate it. The service was a little slow, but I think they were busy and slammed so I didn't mind waiting a few minutes for the ice cream. The ambiance is unique, but it is very cozy and there isn't a lot of room inside so I wouldn't plan on staying there, haha. The Gavito Strawberry was superb, I also think The salted caramel was really good, but I was very happy with the strawberry as my main option. They also offer samples so that's great!

The staff were also super friendly and laid back which created a welcoming ambiance. Unlike other locations where the staff are just rushing customers through, here, the staff are actually taking their time with you trying to help you make a decision. This is super important because of the overwhelming amount of rotating flavors and item options. This location is way better than Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, and Long Beach.

I wasn't sure I would like it or not, but I can tell you I ended up eating it all. It was awesome, every single dish! I'm going here again...even without her haha! We started with the focaccia which was delicious, although it tastes different than what gluten made focaccia tastes like. It was very light and crisp, not as rustic as regular gluten made, and even more enjoyable with the spiced olive oil that accompanied it. As an appetizer we tried the fried stuffed squash blossom with minted ricotta. OMG!! That was SO incredibly tasty! We definitely want that again... and we will later Today! I had the pasta Bolognese and my friend had the fish and chips which we shared and we both loved each of them. The fish was so crispy and delicious and it came with gluten-free fries which were also awesome. We had two glasses of wine which we loved, and we were very impressed with our server, Cameron, who is obviously an expert on their impressively large wine collection. He is a legitimate wine connoisseur. I asked a couple of ridiculous questions, yet he answered them so politely with his highly knowledgable answer. He was such a wonderful SOMM as well as a very friendly and personable server... with a wonderful sense of humor. So. I want people who are not gluten-free to know it's good to try to try this place. Everything is not only tasty but beautifully presented and the room is so cozy. If you're worried about trying gluten-free don't be. I asked Cameron's opinions on the food and I'll tell you he did not steer us wrong. Highly recommended by both of us; My friend with Celiac disease and myself who professors to be 'normal' (not gluten free). Oh.. we could not fit in dessert, but are very sad not to have been able to. There was a a beautiful display of luscious looking desserts that we will also have to go back for tonight, we must try to make room for one this evening or at least take a couple to go. Enjoy it!

I'm so happy I did, Rafael the owner was inside by himself and from the moment we met him, you could see how much he has a passion for his restaurant. It's a very small shop, but there is some tables outside for seating with a direct view of the ocean. This little gingerbread alleyway is adorable and a tiny little hidden gem in Venice. I tried the classic ceviche, and it was literally perfect. He put such care into making it and it is an art.. he really does it quite well making sure the Leche de Tigre is fully flavored, and that all of the ingredients are immersed in it, and the fish is so fresh - sea bass actually.

I went with the Asian Bowl, others went with the Ceviche or Lomo bowls, and all the bowls looked good and everyone enjoyed their food. We appreciated the warm service and the love we could all taste in the food. What a great little option to have on the Venice beach boardwalk. REAL FOOD. And something other than the typical options is always something worth trying, supporting and encouraging. 5 stars!

And this is how it was one night after eating dinner at another restaurant nearby...the enticing-looking slices at Gjelina Take Away beckoned, and I answered the call. Considering Gjelina proper is one of the more difficult restaurants to get into if you don't plan in advance, being able to get a taste of their deliciousness at the adjacent take-away version is a gift to us all. Their Pomodoro pie (think perfectly thin and crispy crust, generous size, and tomatoes galore on top) looked out of control, so we got a slice. Add burrata cheese? Oh, yes, please do that. And they did, and we ended up with this glorious Naples / NYC slice fusion that delighted my post-dinner pizza joie de vivre. There is plenty for vegetarians at Gjelina Takeaway, including some delights from the main Gjelina menu, other slices, and more. Oh, Gjelina Take Away - we took away...and we will keep it with us...always.

I ordered the turkey sandwich and within 3 minutes of receiving it, the bread got soggy from the inside and half the ingredients spilled out, making a sloppy mess on my plate. It basically became a turkey salad with soggy bread mixed in. The quality was good and fresh, but I will not tolerate poor sandwich bread integrity, especially when it's $18. The more expensive the sandwich, the more irritated I get when it instantly turns into soup upon holding it for a bite. I like Gjelina for other items on the menu. Service is good. Location is nice for Venice. But I'll never order a sandwich here again until they toast the bread or use thicker slices to maintain sandwich firmness.

I visited Turn Dough in February and was thoroughly impressed by their commitment to freshness and quality. I had the pleasure of trying the S'mores chimney cake cone and it was a taste sensation! The generous spread of Nutella paired with the creamy vanilla bean soft serve created a perfect harmony of flavors. The torched giant Marshmallow added a delightful twist, and the crushed Graham Crackers and drizzles of Chocolate and Caramel sauces took it to another level of indulgence. I also had their Matcha Milkshake, and it was an absolute delight! It's topped with velvety whipped cream and two pieces of Matcha Kit Kat, every sip was a true indulgence for matcha enthusiasts like myself, as well as newcomers to the matcha scene. Highly recommended! A must-visit for anyone craving delicious, conscientiously crafted desserts! read more
