SweetXO

Closed for good

What a find! Hidden treasure. Such an adorable store. Beyond what I could have imagined.
Thank you Mandy, for making my daughter’s 10^th birthday so memorable. We really appreciate how much you went out of your way to make it special. I can’t stop telling all my friends about your unique store.
We are loyal customers for life. Sincerely, thank you.

Wow great new find. This place looks like a clothing store but their frozen yogurt and home made ice cream are delicious. There are endless amounts of toppings even including beer flavored jelly beans or chili covered Apple rings. I mixed animal cookie ice cream and coconut! They were both too good to pass up. I covered it with chocolate turtles, coconut jelly bellies, and mochi yum!

This is ridiculous. It’s like a Willy Wonka chocolate/​candy factory in here but less chocolate and more like it clashed in a tornado with kitson. There’s cute little novelties and clothes and popcorn and gelato and soda pop and random selections of clothes and gifts that I. Can’t.Even.
This is a total nightmare for girls like me who can’t help it but get enamored by all the cute Tumblr/​Pinterest phrases on wooden blocks and coffee mugs. Can’t decide what to get and/​or can’t afford some of the things I want. The sole goal was to go in and get the dole whip froyo but alas, I was distracted by cupcake recipes and a cardigan.
This is a great place to kill time and do some squealing. Just let it out, it’s acceptable only in here even if you’re a guy because you will feel like a kid in here.
On one last note, the dole whip is pretty good. Not Disneyland creamy-​texture good because this is a icy-​frozen-​yogurt texture but still worth a try.

So sweet! The moment I walked in to SweetXO in Plaza El Segundo I knew I found my happy place. This place is just bursting with happiness It’s the cutest little yogurt/​ice cream/​gift shop ever.
Every time I turned a corner, I could not help but smile. From quirky sayings on mugs to funny books, to kawaii shirts to cute jewelry, they’ve got something for every girly girl. They also got something for every foodie because they’ve got all kinds of candies, unique frozen yogurt and ice cream flavors and different frozen popcorn!
Ice cream is 56 cents an ounce and I made myself a cup of cake batter and lucky charms flavored ice cream and topped it with pink and white animal crackers and graham cracker bits. The ice cream was such a sweet, yummy creamy treat.
I absolutely fell in love with this place! Happiness galore here and simply a place that reminded me that there are many reasons to smile.

Dole Whip, Dole Whip, Dole Whip.
Threw a baby shower here in their lovely hot pink and white party room — the staff were immensely helpful and the event was a great success. We made everyone little tickets to get ice cream /​yogurt and then paid up at the end of the event, we were allowed to bring in our own sandwiches & enormous cake.
But really, all I care about is the Dole Whip. Oh, and my niece learned, the hard way, that gummies in frozen treats are hard, difficult to chew, and it’s best to go with something else.

What a great spot! I wandered in with my daughter and had no idea. It has everything you could ever need and CANDY! Lots and lots of candy… and frozen yogurt.
The gifts are well thought out and it seemed to have something for everyone in your life from cookbooks to clothing to fun bar stuff. Great buyer whoever he or she is.
I have not bought anything yet, but will be back many times I’m sure.
Lot’s of parking and a great staff. Can’t wait to explore farther.

SweetXO is cute. It has an area for children’s tea parties.
It has candies, frozen yogurt and soft drinks. It also has unique gift items.

Definitely a big step up from the standard froyo places in the area. They have about 10 flavors, plus warm brownies and cookies to mix in! Minus one star because my chocolate yogurt tasted like overly ripe pineapple. I think some of the Dole whip mix got into the chocolate batter. :(
The store is absolutely adorable and they have a ton of bulk candy and gifts to browse while you work up an appetite for ice cream or baked goods. I saw so many little pencil cases, travel mugs and books I wanted to buy.
Best of all is the cozy lounge. They even have a Coke Freestyle machine so you can grab a drink and stay a bit!

This store is freaking adorable. I’m not sure what I was expecting when I came in but it definitely wasn’t this. So much to choose from! The staff I met was super friendly and offered plenty of recommendations. Frozen popcorn and yogurt was delicious. PLUS they had Christmas and Hanukah items, so kudos to them. Definitely will be back soon.

This store is amazing… you would never tell from just the outside. It looks like a trendy boutique with kitschy stuff and bright clothing from the store windows. Definitely look past that and go inside. The ice cream (frosted flakes!), yogurt (Dole pineapple!) and toppings are where it’s at!!! There is every imaginable topping (popcorn, candies, chocolates, sprinkles, cookies, fudge) available!!! I could get lost in this place!
I took one star off because each topping didn’t have its own spoon/​server. GROSS!

Have a sweet tooth? Want to be treated by some of the sweetest? This is a must try in El Segundo Plaza. From the great General Manager, Mandy to the incredibly friendly staff, the choices in candy only tops it all off! As a General Manager of a restaurant in the same Plaza it’s always dangerous being able to walk a shorty distance to pure pleasure.
So, find yourself in the area and want a sweet for a sweetie or your own sweet tooth… do yourself a favor… stop in and tell them Shawn sent you!

This place is like heaven if you have a major sweet tooth!!! They have so much different kinds of sweets! I was kind of overwhelmed when I first stepped into the store haha.
They have a candy section in half of the store where you can buy candy by the pound. On the other side of the store you can get yogurt by the ounce. There are SOOO many different toppings for the yogurt! They even have warm toppings such as brownies, rice pudding and apple pie!
They also serve ice cream and popcorn and even tons of gifts and clothing as well. This is such an interesting place and you could probably spend hours just looking at all the things in the store!
Perfect place if you’re craving sweets because you’ll probably find what you’re looking for at this store!

This place is super awesome!
Got here after having dinner in the area but the shop was closed. As luck would have it, the manager saw us lurking outside and was kind enough to let us in and gave us a few samples of ice cream and frozen air pressed popcorn to taste. It was delicious! We also got a private tour of the shop which is totally cool. They have a lot of fun and interesting merchandise and tons of tasty sweets. It’s an ice cream yogurt candy shop all rolled into one mixed with clothing and a bunch of other neat items. They also have a nice lounge area where you can watch a movie while enjoying your yummy treats. Will definitely return as soon as possible when the shop is open.
Thanks so much Mandy for being super cool and awesome!

Glad we were out this way! Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to come see what this place is all about! We were just across the way at Whole Foods over the weekend and didn’t realize this was so close!
It is a very interesting business! So bright and inviting! Ricky was very helpful showing us around, offering information, and chatting with us. He eventually helped us when we decided upon what we actually wanted. My hubby ordered Cookie Mud Pie (?) and walked off to let me pick what else we wanted. I ordered the same thing and didn’t realize it until we went outside to eat it! I’m such a goofball.
There are soooo many options for toppings! We went with waffle cone pieces, mallo topping, a couple kiwi slices and cherries. I just had to try the flavored bobas, I had never seen these before! I tried the cantaloupe… quite interesting! They are similar to eating Salmon Roe, but with a sweet taste, and they kind of pop in your mouth.
We didn’t even make it over to the candy bins and didn’t really look at the clothing. It was the ice cream & toppings, frozen yogurt, fudge, brownies, cake pops that we looked at and sampled.
The frozen yogurt is called Xogurt. They have Dole Whip flavored Xogurt, a little tart for me, but it was good.
They have Frozen Popcorn in about 9 flavors. The Chocolate Jalapeño bit us after we swallowed the popcorn… NICE! I’m not sure what is fascinating about frozen popcorn, whether is keeps it fresher longer or what, but I wasn’t impressed with it. It’s a different sensation to put cold (like refrigerated) popcorn in your mouth. I think I’ll stick with traditional popcorn with different flavorings! It was’t bad, kind of trippy, that’s all.
They have the Coke Freestyle Fountain with numerous options for soda. They will make a float for you, if you want. If you want a bottled soda, they have quite a variety in the store, too!
If you want a place that has a lot of sweet stuff in it, come here. Your senses will come alive! Come treat yourself!

Dear SweetXO:
Please forgive me.
I’ve probably walked right past you 20 times and never knew what lay behind the cute menagerie of clothing in the window. Imagine my surprise when I checked the Unilocal app for dessert … yes, dessert, … and it said you were right there the whole time. It’s like I was starring in a rom-​com chick flick where the guy realizes the perfect partner he’s been seeking is right there in front of him all along.
Sure hope you’ll forgive me and let our relationship grow. No pressure, but …
You are such a cute
… Self-​serve Yogurt Shop
… Self-​serve Candy Store
… Ice Cream Emporium
… Popcorn Peddler
… Women’s Boutique
… Gift Shop
In the back of Sweet XO is a huge open area with gorgeous white sofas to relax and enjoy my yogurt creation. Several mom’s seemed to drop off their kids in the room while they shopped the store, so, it serves multi-​purposes I think. Ok, for me.
My advice to those who discover Sweet XO in the future is to get a 20% off coupon at the counter with your 1^st purchase … then go and get some candy using the deal. I stocked up on about a dozen flavors and colors of Malt Balls and some sugar free Licorice Dogs and Cinnamon Bears.
Hope to see you again SweetXO. I’ll stop by soon if you don’t mind.

What a cute and fun and adorable store! You could spend a lot of time in here, eating froyo with about a gazillion toppings, sampling ice cream or popcorn, picking up some candy, and browsing the retail clothing and fun novelties and gift items. The employees are very friendly too. Always a plus.
I would definitely pop in here to find a unique gift or try their sweet treats. You will XO it :)

Frosted Flakes! Lucky Charms! Glazed Donut! Are we getting breakfast or are we getting dessert?!
We’re getting dessert fools! And we’re getting them at SweetXO! We found this place because there was a Groupon deal for it. The deal is gone now but I’m glad I found it! When we got there, it was like a kid’s heaven. There was candy, ice cream, floats, popcorn, toys, everything.
My favorite part about SweetXO is their Frosted Flakes ice cream. It’s so good. It tastes just like the milk you get after eating a bowl of frosted flakes. There are a TON of toppings here too. I of course had to add frosted flakes cereal as one of my many toppings. You get as MUCH as you want, and it’s all sold by weight. It was so good I brought my friends back a few days after and they all loved the frosted flakes ice cream and will be back!
I tried the lucky charms but it wasn’t as good. Their Paul Bunyon was good though, and another Coffee one I tasted. You can mix and match your flavors. And that’s not even all the store offers. They also have frozen yogurt. And they have one of those soda machines where you can pick any flavor of soda you want. and you can make yourself a root beer float or whatever floats your boat.
They even have macaroons and cookies here! Another favorite thing about SweetXO is the really pretty necklaces they have for sale. I want to come back and buy a few. This place is like a store on ADD. A little bit of everything. They even have some cool socks.
Go here now! Try their frosted flakes ice cream! Ask for Coty! He’s super helpful and knows the whole store like the back of his hand! He tells you what his favorites are and what’s good to try!

I had no idea this store was here. But I’m so glad I stumbled upon it.
Lucky Charms and Frosted Flakes ice cream? Bam.
Root beer floats — or any kind of float since the soda machine mixes 150 combinations? Boom.
Funny pillow saying you’re a Diva or a Geek? Okay.
SweetXO is a candy shop/​ice cream parlor/​birthday party venue/​cooking store/​trinket shop… it’s a lot of fun stuff that’s put together quite nicely. It has a lot of delicious and silly stuff. This is a great spot to pick up a fun gift for your friend or sibling or a place to grab a delicious snack or dessert.
The staff members I encountered there were all very friendly and seemed to really like working there.
And right down the street is a great Mexican place… La Sirena. Check it out, too!

Sweet XO (or is it SweetXO, no spacing) is a great store.
There are several aspects that makes this place great…
1) The employees (at least on 01÷13÷14 Monday mid-​day) are not only super friendly, but very proactively helpful.
2) The selection has «something for everyone» (even if you have Diabetes, there’s a section with «Sugar Free» Candy too) to satisfy a sweet tooth. Candies, Ice Cream, Yogurt, Cupcakes, Cookies, etc.
3) The location. (I think the address listed here on Unilocal is wrong, it’s «700-​B» not «3700-​B») In the Manhattan Beach shopping plaza, sort of the back annex where there’s a «The Counter» (Burgers); «California Fish Grill» (Seafood); and other stores… past the main complex with «Best Buy»; «The Container Store»; «Cost Plus»; «Whole Foods» and «Dicks Sporting Goods» (but going in that direction towards Dicks and past it across the street). Parking is very easy, as there’s parking in the front lot, back and side, all walking distance. It’s a nice safe area too. Lots of other things to do and shop for too.
The Bulk Candy is sold by the OZ or ¼ LB, so is $ 0.69 per OZ (= $ 11.04 per LB or $ 2.76 for a ¼ LB) generally for a quick snack a ¼ lb is good enough per person.
You can mix and match the bulk candy. Know of course some items are heavier by nature than others like the Pool Cue Ball sized Jawbreaker, Bubble Gum, Rock Shaped Chocolates, etc. as opposed to the smaller Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seeds, Sixlets, Jelly Beans, etc.
They do serve a DOLE PINEAPPLE Frozen Yogurt desert which does not have the standard yogurt taste in fact it may not even be yogurt. It’s touted that this flavor is only seen at Disneyland in Anaheim and also King’s Hawaiian (at The Local Place on Western in the South Bay).
They have CHOCOLATE COVERED GUMMY BEARS too, amongst so many others items it inspired me to take photos to share with friends (and inherently I’ll post ‘em up here to show everyone else) just how diverse the selection is.
It’s a clean, well lit, spacious location with a lot of things to look at, and gift items to shop for. It’s a great novelty and confection store, I’d recommend to locals to support.
