You don’t stay in business for over 100 years for no reason! As an Alhambra native I have a special place in my heart for certain places that make Alhambra what it is, and this is definitely one of them. Their flavors are delicious! The price is fair! And the atmosphere is unbeatable! So many wonderful memories at this iconic ice cream shop, and you can feel that when you’re there. Some original favorite flavors are green tea, and cookie monster which the kids love! I personally always enjoyed the banana walnut! If you’re in town it’s definitely one of the top 3 to visit!
Parking: The parking lot is small only fits a few cars. There is free street parking, but depending on the time of day there may not be that many spots.
Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome! They will love it!
Wheelchair accessibility: This location is wheelchair accessible, but can be crowded, it may be good to sit outside for more room.

Bought a take-home tub of vanilla ice cream. Price was very reasonable $10ish, which did make me wonder. We were very disappointed with the very unnatural texture and taste. Read the ingredients list and sure enough, gum and other junk ingredients. Fosselman’s: you’re an institution. I went there because of that. Charge more (I would gladly have paid more!) and preserve your quality and name, please.

While staying in Pasadena for the weekend, we decided to get ice cream here after dinner tonight. They accept cash only but there is a Wells Fargo right next door if you need cash. They have so many flavor options for ice cream and their prices are very reasonable. We got 2 two-scoops with waffle cones, 2 one-scoop with sugar cones, one scoop in a bowl, 3 brownies and candy for our boys. The total was less than $35 and all of our ice cream was delicious. We haven't tried the brownies yet, but we're saving those for tomorrow. They do look like they will be delicious however just by looks. If you're local or stopping through, you must try Fosselman's for a sweet treat.
Now that our kid has grown up we adults can go to Fosselman' for some great ice cream BEFORE dinner!

They only take cash, but don’t tell you until you checkout. Wish that they would have a sign on the door. Ice cream was nothing special tbh

Absolutely delicious ice cream and phenomenal service. Taro is my favorite! Then chocolate covered strawberry. I drove from Orange County to Fosselman's just for the taro!

We have been going here for 50 years, and the ice cream is still horrible! The customer service is just as bad. We still go every 10 yrs or so just to see if we get lucky. No luck again. 5 stars because it's an old-school spot and the prices are very good.
cute and nostalgic ice cream parlor, cash only, and plenty of sorbet and ice cream flavors (including asian ones like lychee, taro, green tea) my favorites are cookie monster & coffee and cookies. limited parking inside lot , but plenty street! the shop is small but cozy and cute.

This place is still the best, all these years later. In Alhambra things have changed so much. Most of the mom and pop places are long gone but Fosselmans and maybe 4 other places are still going strong. Thank goodness. Some of the creamiest, best flavored ice cream🍦 I've ever had. Get this too.. their prices are still fair!! Customer service is still awesome. They seem like talking to a friend instead of an employee/ customer thing. The regulars get called by their first names and everyone is happy and smiley. Very good vibes. Too bad the whole world isn't a Fosselmans store. 😃 Their seasonal pumpkin spice was really yummy and their Dodger themed ice cream Sunday was great. It's made with this bright blue ice cream called "Cookie Monster" It's was good. Thanks Fosselmans for making great products and a friendly community place to hang out and enjoy it. 👍 🍦 🍨 🍦 ❤️

My parents took me to this parlor since I can remember in the 60's. Walking in was like going back in time! I loved telling my grandson, Robert, about how his namesake Grandpa took me there when I was his age! Of course, this was probably lost to him but I certainly was enjoying myself! Thank you for keeping the historical integrity for us old kids! ❤️
