Artisan Soft Serve Chain “Turn Dough” is Opening a New Westside Location

Other Locations Are Set up on Venice Beach’s Ocean Front Walk and the Hollywood Walk of Fame

By Zach Armstrong

Artisan ice cream shop franchise Turn Dough is in the process of establishing its newest spot along Broadway in the heart of downtown Santa Monica.

The new Westside outpost will be located at 215 Broadway, across from Nordstrom at Santa Monica Place. This will be Turn Dough’s third physical location, with its others set up on Venice Beach’s Ocean Front Walk and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

According to its website, Turn Dough boasts a total of 18 signature ice cream cone options. Only instead of a cone, these creations are wrapped in the shop’s “chimney cake pastry.” Photographs of the various options are mesmerizing, for these flavors are each transcendently innovative and embellished with several sugary ingredients. 

Take the “Minnie Macaroons” for example. This Disney-inspired creation comes with a spread of Dulce de Leche. This is then topped with Italian soft serve. Two french macaroons are placed on both sides while a Minnie Mouse bow is plunk on top, making the ice cream cone resemble someone wearing mouse ears during a trip to Disneyland. Then there’s the “Unicorn”. This dreamy delight comes with not only Unicorn sprinkles, but is also crowned with a Unicorn fondant. 

The chain also offers milkshakes, gelato bowls, French crepes and Belgian waffles.

The story of Turn Dough begins in 2017, when Prague native “David” left Central Europe for Los Angeles to establish the brand which held its grand opening in November of that year, as its website explains. “David passionately recounts our mission: introducing European traditions, with a particular emphasis on the authentic Czeth Made flavor, to the American consumer.” as stated on its website. It goes on to state it has since over half a million people since starting operations.
