Our Top Three Places to Get a Sweet Treat in SoCal

If you follow us on Instagram, you know that we just went on a road trip!  We went to Southern California last minute with our parents, aunt, uncle, and cousin.  It's only about a six hour drive to SoCal, so it's sort of a tradition that we go every summer.  Unfortunately, we only stayed two nights, but got plenty of fun activities done within the short time we were there.  Expect to see lots of posts about our little road trip, and subscribe to our blog to get notified by email when we put something new on the blog.

For our first road trip recap, we are going to share with you our top three places in Southern California to get a sweet treat (as of right now).  Our favorites are constantly changing as we try new places and visit different cities in SoCal, but these are a few of the spots we always are coming back to.

1. Georgetown Cupcakes

The first time we tried Georgetown Cupcakes was a few summers ago when we went to Washington D.C.  When we found out a few years ago that they opened one in Los Angeles, we had to go (our fellow D.C. Cupcake fans can relate).  This trip, we were exploring West Hollywood and decided to stop by again for a cupcake.  I (Macey) got a red velvet because their cream cheese frosting is AMAZING, and I (Kara) got the classic vanilla.

2. Ruby's Shake Shack

Located at Crystal Cove along the PCH, there's no way you can pass by this cute yellow hut without stopping.  A friend told us about Ruby's Shake Shack a few visits ago, and has been one of our favorites ever since.  You can order shakes, burgers, fries, onion rings, rootbeer floats and more, while looking at the beautiful Pacific Ocean.  The view from here is absolutely breathtaking!  It's always difficult to find a parking spot, but totally worth the wait.  Our favorite time to go is at sunset, but for this trip, we went around four.  Regardless, the view is still incredible.

3. Dylan's Candy Bar

One of our last places to get treats is at Dylan's Candy at The Grove.  Out of all the candy stores, Dylan's definitely has the best collection of treats.  They have every flavor of gummy bears and sour belts (our favorite) and dozens of M&M colors.  Not only do they have candy, but they also have adorable candy related merchandise and music to jam out to while picking out your candy.  Going to Dylan's is always a must while we are in California.

There you have it!  Let us know your favorite spots to get a sweet treat in SoCal or any other posts you want to see about our road trip in the comments!
