es. Customers pick out the types of cookies from a dozen made fresh in-house, as well as a scoop of ice cream from two dozen Dreyer's
flavors. The signature sandwich originally cost $1, but the price has since increased to $1.50.
Due to this low-cost mainstay, Diddy's attracts long lines on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, when UCLA's classes are in session. However, the lines are much shorter during the day and on other nights.
Weekly trips to Diddy Riese are common among UCLA students, but also students from nearby colleges like USC, Occidental College, or Loyola Marymount University.
