“The Best Ice Cream I’ve Ever Had – A Must-Try Experience!

Hands down, this is the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Every scoop is handmade with exceptional care and it shows in both the flavor and texture—absolutely smooth, rich, and bursting with quality.

The ingredients taste incredibly fresh, and the attention to detail in each flavor is truly impressive. It’s clear that they take pride in crafting a premium product. You can taste the difference.

On top of the amazing ice cream, the service was equally outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable staff who make you feel welcome the moment you walk in.

If you’re serious about your ice cream, this place is a must-visit. Truly next-level in every way!“

“Disappointed to say the least the ice cream wasn’t made properly, the employee was least bothered to even ask what I wanted. It felt like so much pressure to just ask for a sample and decide if I wanted that, the loud music made it so hard to hear the person and for the person to actually even listen. Wanted to take it to go but wasn’t even asked if I wanted that and felt forever to ask for a lid. Not to mention the ice cream literally has no toppings except the m&ms paid more than $10 to get nothing but a bad tasting ice cream.
Edit: The manager followed up and was kind enough understanding the situation and offered to make the ice cream and make it right. That was really sweet and I appreciate that since I got the ice cream after a few days from my initial visit and she remembered me, also gave me the sample for churro ice cream!! Made my experience better“

“I got a variety of different tacos and a asada burrito the service was great and the food was amazing best taco spot I been to in a while it’s the whole in the wall places that remind u of a real home cooked meal with plenty of love will be back again for sure kudos to the chef they also have a great dessert variety for the kids and urself if u can fit it in lol“

The vibe is so chill and unique it feels so homey. This place is way better in all ways of ice cream than any other shop. Ice cream enthusiasts come here and enjoy this beautiful shop. I deserve a free Ice cream. Thank you for being so close to my area.❤️“

“Staff are awesome!! Yogurt is very yummy!“

“Scoops is the kind of ice cream shop where you discover flavors you never imagined—brown bread, lavender honey, and more. The texture is creamy without being heavy. Prices are reasonable for artisanal ice cream. It’s a small space, but service is fast and friendly. Always something new to try.“

“The best ❣️ Their vegan flavors are great“

“best gelati spot I ever found is gelationbrand must try“

“Stopped by this ice cream shop on a beautiful saturday evening. Had a cool old school vibe to it with a jukebox. We sampled various flavors (hibiscus sorbet, pistachio, mint chip, chocolate, coconut). I went with the coconut on a cone. It was good! I would definitely come back and try other flavors.“

“Nice and tasty ice cream. It actually tastes like homemade ice cream.
My daughter loves it, especially vanilla flavor.
The pistachio and cherry vanilla are my favorites.
The 4 scoop box is budget friendly and gives you a chance to taste 4 different flavors.“

“Best handmade ice cream ever!!!! Love the Taro and Ferrero Roche ice cream“

“Delicious!!! Sweet treat that hits the spot - not too sweet, refreshing, and overall very yummi. Our fam got La Toxica, Horchaty, and a drill your own with froyo + banana + strawberry (granola topping). Their pink truck is located at the corner of York & 51st.“

“We come here weekly for ice cream and coffee on weekends. Ice cream is delicious! Very flavorful but not overly sweet. My favorite flavor is the Stracciatella or cookie butter, but they are all good. Seasonal eggnog ice cream is our favorite. Coffee is absolute perfection. Cortado and Latte are especially good. Handcrafted drinks, made with love. The owner is super nice, always takes time to talk to my son and I. This place is a gem, and it is run by genuinely kind and good people. The outdoor seating is also a prefect way to relax with your yummy ice cream or perfectly frothed coffee.“

“I don't crave ice cream often but when I do, I expect nothing but the best. My girlfriend recommended we go to this spot because it's been a staple in the area over the years.

I ordered their banana split and it was THEBOMB.COM. I 100% recommend this spot but keep in mind that this place is CASH ONLY.“

“I'm in love with the chocolate chip cookies here they are so delicious I can't explain the level. lol the ice cream is amazing! especially the cookie monster! heavenly delight!“

“Best handmade ice cream ever!!!! Love the Taro and Ferrero Roche ice cream“

“This place is a must stop if you are within an hour’s drive. Fire Bunny is sweet milk drink with creme brûlée topping. And Thai iced tea soft serve served with fresh hot boba?! Yes please!“

“This is a must-try spot in Los Angeles. I haven’t had frozen yogurt in over eight years because it’s almost impossible to find it vegan, so coming here felt like pure nostalgia—straight back to being a high schooler grabbing froyo! The flavors absolutely delivered. I mixed chocolate and peanut butter and topped it with fruit, caramel sauce, and coconut, and it was perfection—creamy, balanced, and not overly sweet. I also really appreciate that they use clean ingredients with no artificial stuff, which makes it even better. The waffle cones are excellent too. If you’ve been missing frozen yogurt since going vegan, this place will hit the spot. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-03“

“Their ice cream are so delicious 😋 We had so much fun and memorable get together with our family who came to visit out of States for the holidays.“

“The bolo bao ice cream sandwich was the bomb! I had it with ube ice cream. The garlic fries - lots of fresh garlic with a side of bomb lemon aoili and house sauce! The best! Passionfruit green tea was perfect for the hot weather! So cute inside too! It's a smaller space and a one man show. Everything is made fresh so please be patient - it's worth the wait! Great service! It's a hidden gem to the right of BofA in the plaza. — at CrispyandFluffed.“

“Old-school fast-food chain famous for soft serve. Their “chocolate dipped” cone still tastes nostalgic. I got the cheeseburger and fries; patties were thin but seasoned, fries crispy. Classic shake is thick and rich. Place felt like stepping back to the ‘60s—a simple joy.“

“Fosters Freeze’s, Large soft serve,Vanilla ice cream cones, dipped in chocolate syrup, are good and messy. They made me a triple cheeseburger back in the early 70’s way before Burger King or In-n- out ever had them.“

“Well, I'll start with the taste that crepes have. Soooo delicious! I can't get enough of those crepes. I guess I found a new favorite place!Second of all this is a family own place and I would suggest you all to stop by and try their goodies and support their small business!10 out of 10!!!“

“This Taiyaki + Ice Cream place is at the level of other giants such as SomiSomi. The soft serve has a perfect texture (I tried the Pure Milk flavor with a Taiyaki on top, the Taiyaki being filled with Nutella), the service is quick and efficient, and the store was crowded when my two friends and I went on a Saturday evening. The ambiance is great too, there are so many pictures showing what the options are like, and there are clearly-illustrated menus spread throughout the restaurant. The toppings are available for the customers to grab and add to their ice cream as they wish, and everything, from the Oreo crumbs to the Banana chips are great. You can truly feel that every single item in this store is, indeed, made With Love.“

“Ice Cream Occasions was such a fun and unique addition to our event! The ice cream cart looked great and added a nostalgic touch, and the selection of treats was perfect. The staff was super friendly and made everything really easy, from booking to setup. It definitely made the day feel extra special, and I’d totally recommend them for any party or event.“

“We enjoy FF, but our location @Whittier and Orme Ave desperately needs a refresh of the paint and sign. It would be such a bright spot in the neighborhood! It could be a great marketing event.“

“Major props to Los Alpes Ice Cream. I get nostalgic every time I come here. I have been visiting since I was a kid and the memories I have from this place are all great. The quality is just as good today as it was back then. I literally met my best friend here over 30 years ago and the interior still looks exactly the same.

I love coming here every chance time permits when I am visiting Los Angeles. It is one of those places that brings me right back and it never disappoints.

The flavor selection is amazing. Even though I usually keep it simple with cookies and cream, I have a hard time resisting the mamey and nuez every single time. Their ice creams are packed with ingredients. Cookies and cream is loaded with actual cookies and the nuez has that perfect nutty richness in every bite.

The staff and owner are always attentive, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. This place is a true Los Angeles institution. It still surprises me how many people do not know about this gem. If you have never been, do yourself a favor and check it out. You will see why it has been around for decades.“

“Went here after going to Descano to see the tulips. Ice cream is different. Everything is Original. You won’t fine their flavors anywhere else. Nightly recommend going if your in the Pasadena area.“

“Best Frozen Yogurt Ever Tasted“

“Sus nieves rikisimas los tostilocos para chuparse los dedos se las recomiendo!“

“If I'm feeling I'll drop by for a cone and that it. Order outside through the window. They have seats but outside on the side. Is a regular ice cream shop they do offer other food items but haven't tried that yet. Fairly priced, although the ice cream is not fully dairy it seems. Because it melts really quickly and it tastes more water based than anything. Aside from that, the taste is there.

Parking: They do have parking in the back. There's also plenty on the street not metered.“

“Love their ice cream, aguas frescas and especially their crepes 😋😋😋😋“

“Best ice-cream shop around. I Love their variety of ice cream. I can’t decide which is my favorite one. The workers are friendly and helpful.
The music playing was inappropriate for the few children in the shop. I won’t get into details, but it was definitely inappropriate.“

“Best cookies I’ve ever had ! Open long hours so easy to get cookies after work or on the weekends. Good customer service. There’s nothing not to like. Yummy“

“This was literally my first time trying matcha, and I actually really liked it. I was told it’s usually not sweet, so I asked for extra sweetener on top of the sweet version. The flavor was a bit strong, but the added sweetness made it much more enjoyable. Would def try it again!

We went around noon on a weekday and it was packed. Parking is definitely a hassle here.“

“Absolutely amazing ice cream 🍨“

“Went here on a whim on a Saturday evening after going to Gold Line. There was a line but it moved pretty quick. Enough time to look at the vast ice cream menu.

I sampled a Texas Sheet Cake and got a Miso Butterscotch Brownie. Both were delicious!

Overall, highly recommend coming here. Delicious ice cream set in a historical building. Service was nice too.“

“I wish they made Thrifty ice cream with out sugar for diabetes. The could make it with stevia, malitol or erithratol.“

“My boyfriend got throat surgery and I wanted to get him a healthy juice I called this place and I really nice man answered and was super accommodating and recommended a drink which by the way was ready by the time I drove there to pick it up . They always make me feel welcome every time I come in. I always come back for that reason. The drink was a 10/10 I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area !!!“

“authentic real ice cream, made in house and love the unique flavors 😋“

“I recently came into the shop and was surprised by how fast they attended me! I would assume cutting fruit to the order would take longer, but they made it look easy. The crepes were delicious! Forsures will be having them when I go back to El Monte! 8.1.23“

“I love this location it’s super close to my house!!!

I recommend crumbl for having a lot of choices of cookies, having best chocolate chip cookies!!!

Then, what i love the most is that everyweek they have different choices of cookies that we can choose from♥️“

“Me encantan las de timón son mis favoritas“

“Pistachio ice cream is one of the best I've had. It has the right amount of cream to nut ratio. The flan is also one of the best I've had because it has a thicker consistency. Every other flan has a more watery texture, whereas this one is more dense and high quality.“

“Riquísimos rapados los mejores !!!! Son nuestros favoritos mmm“

“What a great ice cream shop. They have the most creative flavours that taste great. The service was fantastic from the man working there and you can even have free samples to ensure you like your flavour before committing to a flavour. We had the miso caramel toffee ice cream which was smooth and of great quality. Prices are very reasonable too! Amazing ice cream shop!“
