Ice cream sandwiches, cookies, brownies & shaved ice
"Ice cream sandwiches with fresh baked cookies. Diddy Riese offers a variety of cookies from chocolate chip, white chocolate chip macadamia, sugar, and oatmeal raison, to name a few. This is the perfect place to feed your sweet tooth and your pocket as the menu is very affordable. Although known for their ice cream sandwiches, they also have sundaes, shaved Hawaiian ice, and brownies. Diddy Riese always has a long line at night, but tends to move fast. Tip is to go during the day!" - Grace Duong
"Before ice cream sandwiches became a thing people only cared about photographing in front of brightly-colored walls, there was Diddy Riese. For decades this Westwood staple has been serving excellent dessert sandwiches to UCLA students and anyone else who treasures the art of eating cookies after 11pm. Plus, with over 12 different kinds of ice cream and 10 different kinds of cookies to create your sandwich, you’ll never run out of flavor combinations. Open till midnight on weekdays, 1am on the weekends." - brant cox
"Believe it or not, the ice cream cookie sandwich was not created by a Santa Monica-based influencer in 2012. We don’t know the exact origin story, but Diddy Riese’s 30+ years of business proves our favorite dessert sandwiches existed long before everyone started taking selfies with them. Diddy Riese is a Westwood classic and the first stop for anyone in the area. The lines are treacherous, but stick with it. Because the reward is an ice cream/cookie mix-and-match showdown of your dreams. (Don’t miss the brownies either)." - nikko duren, brant cox
"A student’s affordable snack paradise, this classic ice cream cookie spot serves custom build-an-ice-cream-sandwich for a few bucks until around midnight most nights. Expect long lines for these crumbly cookies." - Matthew Kang
