Diddy Riese

The 18 Best Restaurants In Westwood - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"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
