Diddy Riese
Since the first day of opening its door, Diddy Riese has baked delicious treats and has made enjoying its baked treats affordable for anyone and everyone! The famous Diddy Riese 's signature item is its custom-made ice cream sandwich. If you are lucky, you will not have to wait in a long line that curves around the street corner, as it is known to get a line just as long as Pink's Hot Dog. Crazy!

This was my third visit to Diddy Riese and it is always a wonderful indulgence. I stick to the Ice Cream Sandwich, especially since it's the signature item and I can choose two different cookies! After waiting in a short line that day, I got to choose my top and bottom cookie along with my ice cream filling. I decided upon Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies with Strawberry Ice Cream, oh my sweet goodness!
My friend who introduced me to Diddy Riese mentioned that the prices have not changed since she was a young girl, Ice Cream Sandwich was only $1.50. To her surprise this past visit they increased the price to $1.75. Hey, that is not bad! Over 20 years and only a quarter increase, amazing! Not only are the cookies great, but the staff has always been friendly and never rush you on your important cookie sandwich making decisions. If you are ever in the Westwood Village, near UCLA, this is a must stop and then pop over to watch a movie at the Bruin Theaters. Enjoy!
Below are what my friends ordered:
