From all of the things in the LA/Westwood area to do and eat, Diddy Riese remains at the top of my list. I used to come here regularly when I was in school and was too lazy to whip up a batch of my own cookies. Diddy Riese always saved the day. With their unbeatable prices, ($3.75 for a dozen freshly baked cookies?!) nothing else compares.
I always get a sandwich when I go: cinnamon sugar cookies with cookie dough ice cream. The cookies are sturdy and soft, just the way I like them! The different combinations of cookie and ice cream are limitless. I remember when the sandwiches used to be a dollar… but hey, I guess the prices had to go up in order to keep up. No harm done, it’s still dirt cheap.
Diddy Riese also sells other things such as brownies and shaved ice, but I always stick to the norm. Call me boring, but the sandwiches are just too good to pass up.
The place is packed on weekend nights and the parking sucks, but the line moves fast and I always park in the parking garage just down the street. There’s not really a place to sit down and eat it either, but who needs to sit down when you have all of Westwood to explore?

I love this place. I always stop by if I’m nearby. I can never resist getting at least 2 dozen cookies and an ice cream sandwich.
so, i’m confused about the “donate”sidebar. Are you asking us to donate to a charity or something else? Thanks!
oh yum! those cookies look sooo droolworthy and 12 cookies for $3.75 is awesome value!! i wish we had some kind of equivalent in Australia… our cookie shops mostly suck 🙁 lol.. so i usually retreat to home baking..
@rebecca- it’s a donation to help keep my site running- for maintenance, ingredients, and time so that i can keep on blogging! thanks!
this definitely sounds like the perfect place!
that is the coolest shop i’ve ever seen! too bad they don’t have it here in Hong Kong 🙁
i’m a new viewer to your blog and i’m LOVING it! thank you so much!!
Hi! I just found your blog when searching for a chocolate chip pretzel cookie recipe! Your recipes are awesome and I can’t wait to read more 🙂
Just found your blog- love it! it’s gorgeous. Diddy Riese is amazing! And stick with the ice cream sandwiches- the shave ice is actually crushed ice grrr!!
This reminds me of my favorite ice cream cookie place in Berkeley, Ca, and it’s only 1.50. Check it out they have pictures of the pure heaven on there site. My personal favorite so far is peanut butter cookies with chocolate ice cream.
Keep making awesome posts + being super cute.

I love Diddy Riese and it’s so inexpensive! If I need a dessert for a party or something and don’t have time to bake, i’ll just pick up a couple dozen or so!
Love your blog 🙂 been looking to connect with more LA bakers!
