Summer House Cookie Bar [13,] Las Vegas NV

Summer House

Oreo Crispy Crispy Treat

Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie

Pumpkin Spice Cookie

Chocolate Cloud Cookie

Apple Oatmeal Cookie

Lemon Cookie

Brown Butter Crispy Rice Treat

Oatmeal Scotchie Cookie

Birthday Cake Cookie

Despite signage suggesting Summer House Santa Monica the location inside Durango Casino & Resort is actually Lettuce Entertain You’s first branch of the “California-inspired Restaurant” out west, and regardless of what might be inside the Cookie Bar out front is a sight for sore eyes.

Taking a Spago-esque approach to Market-fresh fare, think Pizzas and Pastas plus plates from an all-wood grill, it is for roughly $5-6 each that guests will find a dozen or more daily baked good including everything from classic Chocolate Chip with big dark chunks to Rice Crispy Treats with or without bits of Oreo in the mix.

A natural feeling space bathed in light, Rockwell Group taking on LEYE’s first off-Strip venture, guests not fond of Cocoa will find “Birthday Cake” far outpacing crumbl’s famous Frosted Cookie while both glazed Lemon and Peanut Butter eat soft and chewy within a gently crisp rim.

Always impressing with an Oatmeal Scotchie, think crispy but sweet with just a bit of flex, Summer House’s Apple Oatmeal Cookie reminisces of Autumn Apple Crisp in portable form while the “Cookie in a Cup” offers bite-sized bits of the whole collection.

Saint Honoré Doughnuts & Beignets (Summerlin) [2,] Las Vegas NV

Saint Honoré

Dubai Doughnut – Toasted Kataifi, Pistachio Cream

S’mores Doughnut – Chocolate Ganache, Marshmallows, Graham Cracker

Apple Crumble Doughnut – Apple Pie Filling, Apple Chantilly Cream

Pumpkin Spice Doughnut – Maple Icing, Pumpkin Spice Cream

Thanksgiving Doughnut – Cranberry Filling

The Cannoli – Ricotta Cannoli Filling, Chocolate Ganache

Owned by former influencers-turned-marketing Alexandra Lourdes and Lin Jerome Saint Honoré advertises itself as “the first Couture Doughnut & Beignet Patisserie,” or another way of saying artisan Doughnuts targeting ladies with expendable income by way of cute décor.

Part of Refined Agency with Cafe Lola, a success since 2018, Saint Honoré focuses on a Brioche base made daily and decorated elaborately such that even basic flavors feature bits of gold leaf and a price of $4 despite Icing that cracks and falls off.

No doubt focused on more than just how things taste, neon and a wall of foliage demanding photos featuring polished nails gripping Pastry, the first thing that stands out besides high prices is the heft of each Doughnut thanks to eggy-Dough over-penetrated by Oil.

Prone to seasonal change, “Pumpkin Spice” and a Berliner with Cranberry filling befitting Turkey Day, S’mores eats predictably rich while the Cannoli is better at Pink Box.

Also offerings Vegan and Gluten-free choices, plus laminated “Doughsaints” on the weekend, those seeking Saint Honoré’s best bite should be prepared to spend $10.00 for a Dubai Doughnut that is crispy but creamy while the seasonal Apple Crumble is also enjoyable.

Carson Kitchen [35,] Las Vegas NV

Carson Kitchen

Daddy Wags – blanco tequila, grapefruit, fresh lime, cayenne simple syrup

Piper’s Choice – vodka, espresso liqueur, xocolatl bitters, cinnamon cream

The Magarian – american gin, thyme & honey syrup, fresh lemon, cucumber soda

Leisure Suit Larry – spiced rum, butterscotch liqueur, brown sugar simple syrup, walnut bitters

Grilled Oysters, gochujang butter, crispy onion

“Devil’s” Eggs, crispy pancetta, caviar

Tempura Green Beans, pepper jelly cream cheese

Crispy Chicken Skins, smoked honey

Hotdog Burnt Ends, bbq glaze, high brow ranch

Pear & Raspberry salad, manchego cheese, pink peppercorn, walnuts

Boozy Carrots, brown butter, molasses, pistachio

Short Rib Flatbread, spinach, parmesan

French Onion Fingerlings, gruyere cheese, chive

Cabbage “Steak”, tunisian tomato sauce, gruyere, parsley

Rabbit Farfalle, “marsuvio” sauce, green pea, wild mushroom

Pot Roast Dip, swiss cheese, HP aioli, natural jus

Bacon Burger, cooper’s sharp, jalapeño bacon, bacon mayo

Steelhead Trout, yellow curry, crispy ginger rice, basil

Bourbon Fudge Brownie, brown butter bacon ice cream

Glazed Donut Bread Pudding, three rum caramel, vanilla crème anglaise

Pear “Cheesecake”, bleu cheese mousse, port pear butter, peppered walnut

Ground-breaking since opening Carson Kitchen’s greatness has seemingly become so expected that many are prone to overlook it, but on Sunday Afternoon 124 South 6th Street again showed well with thirteen new items debuted just a few days earlier.

Fortunate to have tasted every new plate at Carson Kitchen since summer of 2015, Chefs Harwell, Simon and team forever rethinking even longtime best-sellers, it was alongside drinks that dining began shortly, all well-suited to iconic Chicken Skins, “Devil’s Eggs” and Tempura Green Beans with Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese.

Continuing with more Skins, equally enjoyable today as in 2014, Hot Dog “Burnt Ends” stand out thanks to sticky BBQ Sauce while seasonal Salads are highlighted by “Pear & Raspberry” best enjoyed adjacent grilled Oysters with Gochujang.

Forever exuding creativity, quality and the sort of Food that challenges without compromise Cabbage “Steak” is the latest Vegan showcase and for those okay with Butter or Cheese the “Boozy” Carrots and “French Onion” Fingerlings are even more delicious.

Going Shortrib for this season’s flatbread, and Pot Roast for “Between Bread,” a new rendition of the Burger incorporates Jalapeno Bacon to good effect while Pasta with Rabbit and Steelhead Trout are enjoyable and hearty enough for colder weather.

Disappointed to see Banoffee “Pie” again on hiatus, especially as Pear “Cheesecake” is overwhelmed by funk, Las Vegas’ best Brownie and Donut Bread Pudding remain mainstays and should be requisite to end every visit to DTLV’s best Restaurant.

Granita – Strawberry shaved ice, popcorn mousse

Serving Las Vegas since January 2022 and now a James Beard Award Foundation finalist plus Yelp! Winner for best new Restaurant, Anima by EDO merges Italian and Spanish Cuisine into an elegant experience from Chef Oscar Amador.

Run by industry veterans from front-of-house to kitchen it is following warm greetings at the door that guests are led to a choice of diverse seating options, banquets in the back most quiet with a full view of murals from local artist Apolo Torres.

More “approachable” than EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine per General Manager Roberto Liendo, though certainly never lacking for creativity, Dinner at Anima begins with Appetizers ranging from Eggs with three types of Roe to upgraded Tomato Hummus preceded by Corn Gazpacho.

Not forgetting daily Oysters, or spicy Lamb Sausage atop creamy Eggplant, EDO’s longtime favorite Bikini on this night was replaced by “Seada” with fried Pastry, Ham and Cheese with Paprika Aioli sweetened by Honey.

Taking a different look at “Spicy” Rigatoni via Lobster, enjoyed simultaneously with seasonal Pumpkin Triangoli, Chef Tayden Ellamar’s Steak remains tender and decadent while skin-on Branzino and Iberico Pork with Brava Potatoes are simple yet faultless.

The first visit in nearly three months, several new items attesting to the skills of Chefs Oscar and Tayden, Dessert saw classics including the Strawberry Granita and Pistachio Tiramisu joined by returning Key Lime Pie in deconstructed form.

As the eldest occupant of Global West Plaza and the oldest Persian Restaurant In Las Vegas Zaytoon is more easily overlooked than many local eateries, but using the same recipes for decades the space on Durango is a breath of fresh air in a time when authenticity is often lacking.

Family owned and the combination of eatery plus market, the later featuring imported goods as well as groceries, plates come from a kitchen steeped in tradition such that everything from Lavash to several styles of Baklava are made on-site daily.

Muslim owned and Halal-certified, a name that translates as Olive seemingly appropriate for peaceful confines, guests can expect Kabobs served at a fair price though the real highlights come from Stews such as bold Ghormeh Sabizi and Fesenjaan that is complex but not overly sweet like many.

Although Makers & Finders was slow out the gate on Main Street it cannot be argued that Josh Molina was one of the first investors in Las Vegas Arts District, and now with three locations from Downtown Summerlin to Henderson his “Take It Easy Roasters” stands somewhere in the middle both in terms of location as well as branding.

Focused on good Coffee with less bustle than Makers & Finders, a tucked away space on Wynn Road off Spring Mountain generating far less foot-traffic than Molina’s other concepts, it is inside that guests will find friendly service plus a Pastry case featuring both sweet and savory Empanadas as well as other Baked Goods.

Catering to dietary preferences including Vegans, a number of Milk-alternatives offered for Lattes and other Beverages, Espresso features a good Crema plus bold acidity well suited to items such as Choux filled with Espresso Cream, Pistachio Croissants or a “Big” Cinnamon Roll beneath Cream Cheese Frosting.

Taking a Colombian twist with Pandebono, think bagel-shaped Pao de Queijo, Empanadas are crisp but flaky with ample filling while seasonal Pop Tarts are the same with added sugar shellacking – in this case atop Pumpkin Cream Cheese.

Family owned and operated from the start, Dominic Sang bringing family recipes from a Texas Doughnuttery to Sin City in October 2015, guests entering Glaze Doughnuts will notice little has since changed about the shop in 8 years while a soft base and creative toppings earn “Best of Las Vegas” accolades annually.

Located on Fort Apache Road, fair prices and friendly service undoubtedly part of Glaze’s appeal, what the shop lacks in selection is more than made up for in quality compared to the likes of Dunkin, Krispy Kream or other spots nearby.

Largely built on Yeast Rings, though undersized Fritters perform admirably, fans of simplicity will find Maple Frosting far more subtle than most while Chocolate and Vanilla Glaze are also of excellent quality with or without additions such as Cereal or Candy.

Not over-the-top, but balanced and complex, Caramel and Pecan dazzle atop a fluffy leavened base while Peanut Butter and Oreo do the same, though if one is seeking Glaze’s top choice the decision comes down to Blueberry Cinnamon Toast, Churros and Horchata or Matcha Green Tea Pistachio that delivers sweetness beneath toasty notes.

Starbread Bakery

Señorita Bread

Donuts

Malasadas

Ube Square

Begun in Vallejo circa 1988 it was not until 2021 that Las Vegas got its first Starbread Bakery, and although Filipino folks line up for Nelly and Romy Maranan’s Señorita bread the shop at 2381 East Windmill Lane also offers everything from savory Croissant Sandwiches to Brookies, Donuts and Ube “Squares” akin to Hawaiian Mochi.

Well priced in an era of $8 “artisan” Donuts, the signature sugary batons served warm with a good amount of butter just $3 for five pieces, additional choices are fair-to-middling with two-bite Donuts basic beneath commercial Glaze while Malasadas are under-filled and artificial tasting.

Las Vegas Pizza Festival 2024, Las Vegas NV

Las Vegas Pizza Festival

Founded in partnership with the Las Vegas Pizza Alliance, Novmber 16th marked Las Vegas’ 4th Pizza Festival, and with participants including Good Pie, Pizza Rock, Metro Pizza, Superfrico and others the event at The Industrial Event Space was a tremendous success both for vendors and those fortunate enough to attend.

Truly a showcase for local talent, and well-spaced across the outdoor venue downtown, it was shortly before noon that VIP guests gained entrance to taste more than twenty different Slices, each place showcasing their unique signature style, from classic Sicilian and Grandma to modern and even Gluten-free or Vegan.

More celebration than competition, Metro’s John Arena having long-fostered collaboration amongst would-be competitors, which Slice was “best” became moot almost immediately, though truth be told that honor would be a two-way tie between Signora Pizza Truck’s “Rossana” and Yukon Pizza’s “Grapes of Thrash”.

Now expanded to Dallas and the Southwest Vegas Valley 4 years after opening, despite growing competition, it was as a party of four that diners once again enjoyed an outstanding meal at ShangHai Taste on Wednesday.

Tucked inside Suite 104 of a two-story complex on the corner of Arville Street and Spring Mountain Road, a ground floor flagship since day one, it is upon entry that eyes are immediately drawn to Chinese-born Chefs working inside the restaurant’s glass prep-room, and with Chef Jimmy Li’s time at 3 Villages, 1900 Asian Cuisine and Niu Gu well-known to fans the fact that everything on-site is made from scratch should come as no surprise.

Seating approximately 40 guests from 11:00am until 9:00pm seven-days-a-week it was with warm greetings that twelve items were received, many old favorites but some items not enjoyed in a while.

Affordable without skimping on Ingredients, all thanks to Chef Li and Joe Muscaglione’s dedication, a distinctive feel is ensured by the fact that almost every single item on-site is imported from or near Shanghai, and starting with Soup Dumplings, or XLB, fans will be happy to know ShangHai Taste’s set a high standard whether made with Pork, Shrimp, Crab or Beef.

Able to accommodate most dietary preferences, fried Soup Dumplings in two varieties a winner to all but vegans, those eschewing all Animal products will likely gravitate to green Dumplings, though even more interesting bites are found in the form of Cold Bean Curd Noodles slicked in Scallion Oil or sticky-sweet Wheat Gluten.

Built on family recipes handed down to Chef Li, his Fat Noodles with choice of Protein always a crowd-pleaser, Dumplings taste wonderful with or without spicy Oil or Soy while Fried Rice rivals the best in town.

Located at 9435 West Tropicana Avenue inside Crossroads Plaza Shopping Center and open 24-hours Pinkbox Doughnuts remains Las Vegas’ premier spot for Artisan Doughnuts, just as it has since debuting over a decade ago.

More and more social-media savvy over the years this visit entailed far beyond the usual “OG Classics,” and although PinkBox’s Old Fashioned Cogwheels are still Las Vegas’ best additional traditional choices are mostly as expected making “Fancy Pancy” or “Show Off” choices a necessity.

Often beginning with a Fritter, this day no different and the resulting bite packed with Cinnamon plus Fruit, it was after others made selections that Mr. Blueberry continued the gluttony, its varied toppings with Cheesecake and an airy base a 1-2-3 punch of textures.

Fully committed to clever nomenclature, Roberto Armanino’s famous Caramel Cheesecake now “The Caramelo,” “Holy Cannoli” succeeds thanks to Housemade Ricotta Filling and plenty of Chocolate Chips while “Smashin’ Apple” uses Graham Cracker Streusel for texture atop a Bismarck stuffed with Housemade Apple Compote.

Replenishing supply as necessary, high volume assuring everything is fresh, “Vegas Cream” and “Hockey Puck” each achieve high marks while “My Butterscotch” upgrades the traditional Bismark by way of Caramel Praline beneath a quartet of toppings.

Leafs and Grounds [2,] Las Vegas NV

Leafs and Grounds

Cranberry Orange Scone

Banana Pumpkin Scone

Caramel Apple Scone

Cream Cheese Danish

Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish

Cherry Cream Cheese Danish

Located in the shadow of Southern Hills Hospital Leafs and Grounds opened at the end of 2022, their popularity slowly growing by word of mouth attesting to Sin City’s best Scones and a locally grown feel that taps into Pacific Northwest Coffee culture.

A novelty in Las Vegas, the shop slowing things down compared to Dutch Bros or Starbucks and doing things their own way without a slew of influencers, guests arriving Tuesday through Sunday from 6am until 3pm will find a family owned spot with plenty of room to linger, work, and read.

Using Lavazza for a variety of Lattes and specialty Coffees, a proper grinder and Espresso machine attesting to doing things the right way, Pastries are made on-site by the Mother and children with a duo of Empanadas fully loaded beneath a golden shell while Danishes are so flaky that a fork and plate are mandatory.

Onward to Scones, flavors announced daily on Instagram, suffice it to say these aren’t the typical British rounds in need of Clotted Cream or Jam, but rather something like a layered Southern Biscuit loaded with Butter and complex flavors ranging from Banana Pumpkin to Caramel Apple.

Nicco’s Prime Cuts & Fresh Fish [3,] Las Vegas NV

Nicco’s Prime Cuts & Fresh Fish

On The Flip Side – LYRE’S WHITE CANE, COLD-BREW COFFEE, CREAM OF COCONUT, VANILLA, NUTMEG

Sourdough Bread – Butter

Yellowtail – Calabrian chili, white balsamic soy

Snow Beef Tortellini – Hokkaido snow beef, green peas, red wine demi

Rigatoni alla Vodka – Calabrian chili

French Onion Soup – Gruyère cheese, san marzano tomato

Thick Cut Bacon – Dry cured, applewood smoked

Wedge – Iceberg, bacon, tomato, blue cheese dressing, red wine vinaigrette

Tomato Caprese – Beefsteak tomato, mozzarella di bufala, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar

12oz Rosewood Farms American Wagyu Country Fried Steak – Sausage Gravy, Biscuit

Dry Aged Mediterranean Branzino

16oz Brandt Farms Ribeye

Nicco’s 28 Burger – french fries

Creamed Corn

Baked Yam – cinnamon sugar brûlée

Mushrooms – Spinach, pearl onion

Nicco’s Steak Sauce, Truffle Butter, Maitre d’Butter, Béarnaise

Key Lime Pie – whipped cream, raspberry dust

Peanut Butter Brookie – Fudge brownie, peanut butter cookie, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, peanut butter cup

Warm Butter Toffee Cake – Sour cream butter cake, toffee sauce, crème fraîche ice cream

Banoffee Tart – Dulce de leche, banana, mascarpone cream

Opened as the signature Steakhouse at Durango Casino & Resort “Nicco’s Prime Cuts & Fresh Fish” resides just off the gaming floor adjacent The George, though immediately upon entry anyone familiar with the likes of Scotch 80 or Jean Georges will quickly realize there’s a lot more to the Restaurant than the usual Beef and Sides.

A quiet space despite its location, the foyer leading to a full bar in front of the main dining room, Nicco’s looks chic but feels familiar thanks to plush carpets and linens amidst wood, brass and a gleaming open kitchen led by former Nice Hospitality Chef Michael Tomorsky.

Bound by the needs of an off-Strip Casino, Filet Mignon and Dry Martinis aplenty, a deeper dive on Nicco’s menu attests to top-tier sourcing including everything from A5 Japanese Wagyu to Fresh Fish and organic Produce from nearby Farms.

Lower priced than like-concepts on Las Vegas Boulevard, but certainly not lacking for creativity, Appetizers such as Yellowtail Crudo or French Onion Soup perform admirably while a duo of housemade Pastas including spicy Rigatoni and Snow Beef Tortellini declare Nicco’s willingness to put in extra work.

More than just Steaks, though Brandt Farms Ribeye is faultless, Salads and Sides show well in classic form while the “28 Burger” earns its price tag with two-Patties fortified by A5 scraps and crispy golden Fries better than any other in the area.

Not forgetting Mediterranean Branzino, dry-aged but still moist without accoutrements, those seeking something more comforting will be glad to know that thick-cut Bacon and Wagyu Country Fried Steak with Sausage Gravy are as good as “Breakfast for Dinner” gets.

A stretch to find room for Dessert, especially as each of Nicco’s eight options are sizable for only $12, those seeking something with fruit should consider Florida-quality Key Lime Pie while those desiring decadence won’t go wrong with the Peanut Butter Brookie, Banoffee Tart or steamy Toffee Pudding with typical sweetness countered by Crème Fraiche Ice Cream.

Lunasia Chinese Restaurant, Alhambra CA

Lunasia Dim Sum House

Minced Pork & Mushroom Congee

Macao Style Egg Custard Tart

Stir-fried Baby Bok Choy with Garlic

Har Gow

Rice Noodle Roll with Chinese Donut

Siu Mai

Rice Noodle Roll with Beef

Supreme Beef Ball

Steamed BBQ Pork Bun

Taro Cake with Sausage

Sakula Egg Yolk Bun

Sticky Rice Wrap

Steamed Custard Bun

Pan Fried Pork Pot Sticker

A 2021 Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, now with four locations from the Alhambra original to Torrance on the PCH, Lunasia continues to generate lengthy queues for their modern take on Dim Sum and other Chinese dishes such as Noodles or Rice.

Located on Main Street, yelp! check-in utilized in order to circumvent a 90+ minute wait, it was as a party of five that guests sat down in the bustling dining room where QR Code ordering assures expedited service without a jumble of paper menus or carts.

An expansive space to match the menu, all with prices that will see most guests get their fill for under $40 including tax and tip, Congee is properly made with good flavor while staples such as Har Gow or Sui Mai are good but lacking the finesse of more pricey spots.

Happy with Rice Rolls, both Donuts and Beef filling nicely complimented by Soy, Taro Cakes are a let down in terms of taste as well as texture as are Meatballs that are tough and overworked.

Improving with Pot Stickers, while Sticky Rice and BBQ Pork Buns are on par with other like spots, “Macao Style” Egg Custard Tart prove over-baked despite flaky Pastry while the better bet lies in molten Sakula Egg Yolk Buns brushed with gold.

El Pavo Bakery & Restaurant, San Gabriel CA

Pavo Bakery

Pan de Muerto

Concha

Sugar Croissant

Besos

Oreja

Tricolor Cookie

Guava Pan Dulce

Tucked away in the San Gabriel Valley, an area now better known for Taiwanese Breakfasts or handmade Noodles, El Pavo Bakery & Restaurant has been around since 1962 when Don Pedro Vasquez immigrated from Mexico with an idea to serve Food from back home.

Serving everything from Beans, Burritos and Tamales to Birthday Cakes and Pan Dulce it is inside the sizable shop that guests are invited to self-select yeasty Concha or Besos made the right way with thick Guava Jam and shredded Coconut.

Fortunate to visit when Pan de Muerto was warm from the oven, several sizes suitable for families of all sizes, Cookies trend a little bit harder than many while Croissants, Oreja and filled Danishes are not only well-crafted but offered at an excellent price.

Stella West Hollywood, West Hollywood CA

Stella West Hollywood

Panzanella Estivia – persimmon, heirloom tomato, Lambrusco, sheep ricotta

Carpaccio di Manzo – Wagyu tongue, scallion pistachio salsa verde, saba

Su Filindeu – roasted bone brodo with pecorino primo sale & lamb neck

Orecchiette – pistacchio pesto, Brentwood corn, fresh pecorino cheese

Bigoli – octopus & ‘nduja ragù, peperoncini, basil, wild fennel pollen

Mortadella di pistacchi pizza – stracciatella cheese, pistacchio pesto, basil

Fresh Corn Polenta

Chanterelles & Ragu Bianco

Polipo – spanish octopus, ‘nduja, pistacchio verde, warm butter

Cassata Siciliana – Sicilian pistachio, chocolate, & ricotta cake

Sfogliatella – Raspberry & crema diplomática, mint

Linzer

A collaboration between restaurateur Janet Zuccarini and Chef Rob Gentile, Stella occupies rarified real estate in West Hollywood and makes good use of it with traditional recipes bolstered by California’s bounty and a “scene to be seen” atmosphere.

Spread across several rooms and two stories, all of it twice as loud as necessary per Los Angeles standards, it is from the lounge that guests are led through a space intended to maximize capacity while at the same time maintaining Art Deco flair and old time elegance.

Housing an open kitchen downstairs, live fire stretching back to a Pasta room like that at Felix, guests are encouraged to begin with pricey Crudo or imported Cheese unnecessarily topped by Caviar while those who know a gimmick when they see it will instead opt for seasonal Salads like Panzanella Estivia or faultless Beef Tongue with assertive green Salsa and Saba.

Already the recipient of praise for a $59 bowl of “the world’s rarest Pasta,” think thin noodles in Bone Broth with tender Lamb and Cheese, Bigoli is a better bet thanks to Octopus and Calabrian Sausage while Orecchiette with local Corn outpaces “Fresh Corn Polenta” that falls somewhere between Cornmeal and Kernels from a can.

Performing well in terms of service, everyone professional but not lacking for personality, Mushrooms in White Wine hardly justify $29 while the $50 “half” Octopus finds four stingy tentacles and the third of five Pistachio dishes ordered without even noticing.

More impressed by a $34 Roman Pizza, Mortadella di pistacchi offering a crisp base with just enough flex beneath Stracciatella, the only real justified “must order” at Stella is their $39 Cassata Sicilliana featuring Ricotta, more Pistachios and Chocolate and even this is outpaced by a textbook Sfogliatella at less than half the cost.

Fluffy McCloud’s, Los Angeles CA

Fluffy McCloud’s

Princess Cake, Pistachio Yoyoyoyo, Waffle Cone

Banking on LA’s love of retro-kitsch Nick Fisher opened Fluffy McCloud’s in July 2023, late hours to match his bar El Prado across the street spawning a Social Media following seemingly focused more on details like the jukebox and Gumball machine than the Ice Cream itself.

Focused on Organic ingredients, steep pricing at least justified in that sense along with the Echo Park address, it is adjacent a clanking marble run that guests order from hipster servers nonchalantly offering tastes of everything from Coffee to Vegan Honeydew.

Skipping the extra $4 for #gramworthy Concha Sandwiches, quite the upcharge for $0.69 Pan Dulce, two small scoops on a Waffle Cone will set guests back $8 plus tax and tip for convincing Pistachio with or without “yoyoyoyo” and Princess Cake that tastes like Marzipan lacking the Jam.
