What You'll Get
Without treats like frozen yogurt and gelato, birthday parties would serve scoops of iceberg lettuce inside waffle cones and be forced to light candles on bowls of oatmeal. Taste a plethora of frosty snacks on a birthday or a fake birthday with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of frozen yogurt, ice cream, and more at SweetHarts in Sherman Oaks.
Owned by Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch actress Melissa Joan Hart and her mother, Paula Hart, SweetHarts is the result of a vision to create a shop-sized wonderland of yogurts, ice cream, and candies. Savor a not-too-sinful dessert with SweetHarts' frozen yogurt ($0.39 per ounce), offering distinctive, lip-smacking flavors such as pomegranate and pistachio. Grumbling stomachs can be quelled and contented with a scoop of cappuccino-chip gelato ($0.79 per ounce) or its rival, coconut tropical gelato, a rare cold treat found after the 1934 Bolivian rainforest avalanche. Preferable personalizers can create a creamy tour de force with SweetHarts' toppings—coat sorbet with a sprinkling of peach and pineapple, or dust honey granola atop ice cream like a tinkerbell converting a happy thinker to an aviator.
In addition to its frozen treats, SweetHarts offers row after row of multihued candies, ranging from Big League Chews to Nerds. Purple-colored walls, olive-green couches, and its usual clientele of Looney Tunes characters complete the shop's childlike, whimsical atmosphere.

About Pines of Florence
Inside the kitchen of Pines Of Florence, chefs steam mussels, boil housemade pastas, and bake pans of ziti to a bubbling golden brown. Sub sandwiches packed with meatballs, eggplant parmigiana or italian cold cuts accompany crusty pizzas during weekend lunches, and dinner entrees such as shrimp parmigiana and spaghetti a la carbonara come topped with parmesan cheese. For dessert, sweet bites of fluffy tiramisu, cannolis, and rich cheesecake fill up bellies and the refrigerated snack compartment of most designer handbags.
