Perhaps best known among college students starving for its sweet relief from studying, Diddy Riese is a landmark in UCLA's Westwood. It is one of the first places introduced to newly-accepted freshmen, and rightfully so, as Diddy's ten varieties of freshly-baked cookies and twelve flavors of Dreyers premium grand ice cream deserve the attention. The best parts: sinfully cheap prices and late night hours. Ice cream sandwiches - any combo of two cookies and a generous scoop of ice cream smooshed between them - are only $1.50 and a perfect late-night treat. My go-to favorite: oatmeal raisin with espresso chip ice cream.

I love diddy riese ice cream sandwiches! What an amazing idea, ice cream sandwiched between cookies. God, I wish I had thought of it. There are various ice cream flavors and different types of cookies. I've made it my mission to try all of them because I am a glutton. Only problem is it's so far away. Pros: ice cream sandwiches Cons: far away

Just like the headline says.. .you pay more for parking then you do the amazing cookies!!! i think its something about the fact that it is cheap that makes it taste that much better. If you dont want the ice cream, you can just get the cookie, but i highly recommend goin the whole 9 yards... 2 thumbs up Diddy!!

I love everything about this place! And so does pretty much everyone I know - the place is definitely a Westwood/Los Angeles institution, and with good reason. I am a serious dessert lover (my first word was 'chocy', short for chocolate), and I've never had better chocolate chip cookies. Soft, chewy, and just sweet enough, they're classic with an extra deliciousness abut them. It's a one of a kind place - everyone is friendly, patient while taking orders (even large ones) and the prices are SO cheap - 3 cookies for a dollar! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner the other day and he was such a nice guy. I'd also add that no one I've known who goes there (and I know quite a few people, since I'm there several times a week) has had a bad experience there or anything CLOSE to what the person below me has said. Do yourself a favor and stop by - make sure you have cash! Pros: Delicious desserts, incredible prices, great people watching

Diddy Riese is one of the best places to get great dessert for an extremely low price! I remember the first time my cousin took me there on a visit to the UCLA campus. It was definitely one of the reasons that I chose to attend UCLA! I love the variety you get there with all the different cookies and ice cream flavors. The staff is always very friendly and accomodating even though they always have to deal with a long line of customers!

me and my friends went to this place in westwood village one night, and unfortunately i refused to give them service becuase as i was ordering i asked if they had chocolate milk available to sell, and one of the employees said "si aqui lo tengo" and grabbed his crotch. REALLY innappropriate. in translation he said, "yes, right here". but aside from that i heard their desserts are good.
