So I'm sure most of you who are reading this have a major sweet tooth. Much like myself. And having a sweet tooth probably means you're in the constant search of new and yummy dessert places and always go to restaurants in hope of having "room for dessert" but of course, never really end up having any. So here goes. No, I do not have clever ways to be satisfied with a restaurant meal and still have room for dessert, though I wish I did, but what I do have is a really cool and clever dessert place located in Westwood, CA.
It's called Diddy Riese. It's like a klondike bar, but not packaged, and not frozen. It's a cookie sandwich! Two thick, and moist cookies with a giant slab of ice cream in the middle. DELICIOUS. Of course, you can make this at home, so it's not really anything special, but there's big fun in going out of the kitchen to get desserts.
My sister is the one who introduced me to this place and she described it as "really good, but nothing special" I still wanted to go, being a sugar connosieur and all. She said it's "really popular" and "the lines are always huge" so that made me even more excited! If it's famous, it must be good, so Kiran is probably just underestimating this place. I went for the first time with my sister and two of her friends, and of course the line was huge. This was around 11pm. The place is usually open til 12 or 1 depending on the day. This of course is another advantage because we all love getting sweet, midnight snacks and sometimes, denny's isn't our best option.
I ordered a chococlate chip, vanilla ice cream sandwich. Standard combo. But they have SO MANY FLAVORS! They have probably every cookie you can think and every ice cream flavor you can think of. It's brilliant. It's just a matter of putting the overwhelming amount of choices together because I'm sure not every combination turns out good, but mine did. Now, the place is VERY tiny. It can accomodate maybe...6 people without getting claustrophobic? So if you're turned off by tiny places and big crouds, this might not be the place for you, but I'm telling you you'll like it! It leaves you very satisfied.
I liked this place a lot more than my sister did. The cookies are fresh, and warm and go great with the cold ice cream. And the best part? This place is DIRT CHEAP! $1.50 for the giant ice cream sandwich you get! $1.50?! It costs more for a bucket of ice cream at Albertson's! And you can get 3, big, freshly baked cookies for just $1.00! ONE DOLLAR FOR THREE COOKIES! That's a godsend.
Point blank, go to Diddy Riese, it's yummy, fresh, the people are friendly and it's deliciously cheap.
