"Stepping into Lei’d Cookies is like walking into a luau that smells of cookie dough. The shop is painted in bright teal with plenty of orchid decor, and their menu is full of fun, Asian-inspired riffs. We’re fans of most of their flavors, including the guava cheese and ube matcha, but it's the mango sticky rice we're still dreaming about. It’s stuffed with dried mango and coconut flakes, then topped with an actual mound of sweet sticky rice—a convincing take on an iconic Thai dessert." - Cathy Park
"Born as a pop-up at Smorgasburg, Lei’d has settled into its permanent home in Culver City since opening in 2023. In contrast to other bakeries whose cookie selections may be limited to chocolate chip, sugar cookie, or oatmeal raisin, Lei’d draws influence from around the world, baking it into cookies like mango sticky rice, cannoli, and guava cheese. There are even some gluten-free options, including a flourless brownie and snickerdoodle." - Rebecca Roland
"A popular cookie shop in Culver City introducing new flavors for Black History Month and special Valentine’s Day flavors, featuring collaborations with Ghana’s Gloria’s Shito chili oils." - Mona Holmes
"Am grateful for the recent efforts by LA Mayor Karen Bass and the City of Los Angeles, who recently made it easier for restaurant owners to expand outdoor dining. Also love seeing collaborations front and center at various restaurants. Operators like Saucy Chick Goat Mafia and Lei’d Cookies sell each other’s food products/dishes in their stores. At the Lei’d storefront, they sell products from Smorgasburg vendors, making it possible for them to spread the word and availability about other LA businesses." - Eater Staff
"Lei’d Cookie made its way from Smorgasburg to a cute shop in Culver City in 2023 where owners Leilani Terris and James Lewis draw inspiration from flavors from across the planet. Try the mango sticky rice, guava goat cheese, a spin on the Filipino dessert buko pandan, and one very popular s’mores cookie." - Eater Staff
