Sweet Treats & Studio Secrets in Culver City | Ice Cream, Cookies & Hollywood History

Brent heads to Culver City — a town packed with classic Hollywood history and seriously delicious desserts!

There’s creative ice cream flavors at Salt & Straw and decadent scoops from Van Leeuwen. Then it’s a quick (but iconic) stop at Erewhon before diving into mouthwatering, over-the-top cookies at Lei’d Cookies. And don’t miss the stunning layered Princess Cake!

But it’s not just about the sweets — Brent also visits legendary film landmarks, including the hotel where Dorothy and the Munchkins stayed during the filming of The Wizard of Oz.
