The Funnel House

Okay, on the real I had the worst funnel cake ever the other day here. There was so much batter poured into the circle that it was basically like a giant fried flat chewy donut.
There was a few crispy delicious bits but most of it was just giant globs.
Then there is the powdered sugar issue :-P Besides just dumping all the sugar directly in the middle the grease wasn’t drained all off so it just liquified into glaze. A messy sticky glaze.
And last but not least, there was the chocolate syrup. It was like water. Good thing I got it on the side or it would have been a giant mess lol
Took a long time and the sun was setting so just caught the sunset, ate the crispy parts, and tossed it in the trash.

This hidden gem makes the BEST churros ever! Churros are made to order and are crunchy on the outside and soft on this inside. There is more than enough cinnamon sugar applied to the outside, and once your churro is made, you receive it in a convenient plastic bag that prevents you from being covered in cinnamon sugar.

Funnel cake by the beach? Count me in! This place has always hit the spot everytime I visit the boardwalk. It is one of the only stores open until midnight with desserts. They always have fresh funnel cake and ice cream. Their fruit toppings are always on point. Nothing beats getting a funnel cake and finding a seat right next to the ocean. Super romantic and a perfect place to end date night. Parker’s Lighthouse is located right in the same area and a great date restaurant as well. Super dim and romantic right next to the waters.

Best churros ever, hands down! (approx. $ 4.50 each)
I am not a huge fan of funnel cakes in general, but those that I have come here with, all really enjoyed their funnel cakes.
They have thrifty ice cream, can’t go wrong there! Fresh baked cookies are good too!
Most importantly, this part of Long Beach is beautiful. You can grab something sweet and go walk along the beach or continue to explore the cool shops in Shoreline Village.

Best funnel cakes and awesome customer service. There are a variety of desserts including ice cream sandwiches, churros, brownies, and funnel cakes. They’re open late on weekends which is a plus for those with a sweet tooth.

My boyfriend and I decided to grab a funnel cake sundae since we needed ticket validation. For $ 10 you get a funnel cake topped with 2 scoops of ice cream, topping of your choice, and whipped cream. The strawberry topping was just too artificial tasting and kind of ruined the whole thing. I would recommend just getting the funnel cake by itself with powdered sugar.

I do love going here for a Churro or Funnel cake. They taste great !.
Only hassle is going through the whole parking, ticket, validation. Its not that big of deal, but this place can never be a quick run in and out.

Decided to try the funnel cake on a Friday night and it was delicious. We got the funnel cake Sunday $ 9.00. We choose strawberries as our topping, chocolate mint ice cream, cheesecake ice cream and topped with whipped cream. This could easily feed 2 – 3 people but I only shared it with one more person ;)
Get your parking validation & you will only pay $ 2.00. The parking attendant only accepts credit cards if the charge is more than $ 5.00
I will definitely be going back to get my funnel cake craving satisfied!

The funnel Sundae was the best i ever had… i wish i could rewind and have it again. Definitely coming here again! I should add The girls at the counter were super friendly. Loved it.

The Funnel House is a great place to stop for a snack. Funnel Sundae is a funnel cake topped with your choice of ice cream and toppings. We went with vanilla ice cream with strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream. It’s a healthy (large) serving so it is great for sharing. The funnel cake was fried to perfection with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. The vanilla ice cream was perfect as a cold treat on a warm day. The strawberries and bananas just made it like a «sundae». For a true sundae, the only thing missing was a cherry on top. Rating: 4.5÷5

This shopping area was crowded along with the parking lot and the line for the funnel house. The staff here are pretty quick, they take your order and your money and I would say within 5 minutes they had our order ready. I liked that they had a good variety on the menu, like funnel cake your way. I had the typical funnel with strawberries, powdered sugar, and whipped cream. It was pretty much average as far as funnel cake goes … SWEET!

For the cost $ 4.95 for 1 churro that seems a bit overcooked and smaller than the one they sale at the Costco counter… I would say save your money. It’s truly not that good. It’s alright at best. The whole draw is it being convenient and freshly fried by order.

Definitely the place to go for a funnel cake. Great place to grab a treat after walking around or seeing one of the weekend concerts they have going on right outside during the summer. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
Oh, and you don’t have to get fruit on your funnel, you can just get ice cream and white chocolate whip cream instead!

Love their homemade churros. The dough is squeezed out of a machine right in front of you and dumped into a pool of hot oil. It takes about 5 minutes for it to be ready. They then take it out and dump it into a pan of cinnamon sugar. The first bite is heavenly. The rest is just as good but it’s initial fresh– out– of –the –fryer is amazing.
I agree with some of the reviews that the service is not as great nor friendly, but their churros always made up for it. And plus I just alway grab my churro and go walk alongside the long beach harbor.
This is my second time here and probably won’t be my last. I am completely in love with this place. I will try the churro sundae one day hehe. Thanks funnel house for selling more than funnel cakes. =p

The line here can be a bit long & a bit disorganized, but the food is definitely tasty and not too expensive. It can really hit the spot when you’re having a nice relaxing walk around Rainbow Harbor.
Just be aware that there is a good chance you’ll be fighting excited kids running around without their parents enforcing common decency. That’s not the business’s fault I understand, but it sure is something that can affect your visit.

Was in town and decided why not? I should definitely stop and order a funnel cake. I arrived just in time before it was full of people. I thought how great I should receive my order fast. I had a funnel cake with a banana with a type of jam sauce with whip cream and a churro! The funnel cake was 5 out of 5. The churro was horrible, Costco has a better tasting churro. The customer service was horrible! They forgot my order even while standing in front waiting for it. I customer service was better this would have a better rating

CRAPPY CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO NEVER RETURN.
Came here to use a Groupon I purchased for $ 20 worth of food. Had bad attitude from the very beginning and the woman was unwilling to explain anything to us. We asked what was included in the funnel Sundae, and she was short with us. Our total came out to be $ 19.90 and she asked if we wanted to add anything else so we didn’t waste our $ 20, and we didn’t know what to add… We stood there, staring at the menu unsure, while she stood there impatiently with a complete bitch face waiting for our response. So we add a fresh churro (whopping $ 4.25)…
As we’re standing there paying, I ask her if it’s okay if we get «strawberry and butter pecan ice cream on one of them.» She cuts me off, irritated that I didn’t know how they operate (despite just telling her we’ve never been here before) and tells me «when they call your order you can tell them what you want on it, ok?»
«.oh, ok sorry about that.» I say.
When they finally call our name, we told them our ice cream choices but there was no syrup on top. What kind of sundae doesn’t come with syrup on top? I asked the guy and he said it was extra. I asked, «why didn’t she tell us that? Why didn’t she offer us this instead of standing there, being completely impatient and unwilling to answer any of our questions?» The guy shrugged and didn’t know how to respond. I stare at her and she still has attitude staring back at me. What a SHADY way to make a couple extra bucks! These extra toppings aren’t even listed on the menu.
As for the food: is it better than carnival fare? Hardly. Is it worth putting up with a bitchy attitude or spending $ 10 for each funnel sundae or churro? HELL NO. Bitchy lady, you work in customer service. Hate your job? Find another one because I’m sure your boss won’t appreciate losing business because you don’t know how to treat customers. What a waste of our time and money!

Tucked away in Shoreline Village. This place is awesome! Had a line the whole time but moved quickly. Finding seating can be tricky but then we lucked out and found a table right by the water.
The funnel cake was perfectly made. Fruit topping, ice cream and whipped cream topped it off. I suggest getting the Funnel Cake Sundae. It was awesome! The first staff member I came in contact with wasn’t very helpful. As a first time customer I had some questions about what came on the sundae (I only wanted strawberry topping)… The second staffer (who made my sundae) was more helpful… Overall, I can’t wait to go back!

The Funnel House is located in Shoreline Village in Long Beach. We were strolling along the boardwalk when our eyes gazed upon this tasty gem. I was craving a churro when I passed by a small stand earlier. But after seeing the funnel cakes here, my mind was set.
Monica (had cool blue hair) helped me make my decision. I asked her about taking the funnel cake to go and whether or not that would be a bad idea because it would lose its freshness. She said people drive from 20 minutes away and get funnel cake to go, so it shouldn’t be a problem. She said if necessary, just zap it a little in the microwave to warm it up again.
We continued walking on the boardwalk for a while, then drove home and zapped it a little. It was very good. Imagine how good it would have been if we had eaten it there fresh.
The dough was soft all around with some crunchy parts. Despite taking it to go, it was fresh, smooth, and delightful. My favorite section is the crunchy, harder, crisp parts. It reminded me of the fried dough I had at flea markets growing up. We spread around the powdered sugar and it was delightful. I will definitely be back to try some of their other items (especially the churro). They also have ice cream, cookies, brownies, and other goodies. The wide variety and friendly service will have me coming back whenever I visit Shoreline Village.

Best churro ever! This location specializes in hand made churro’s, my family of 4 all made the same claim — «BEST EVER!»
This review is for the churro only, don’t miss this opportunity.
