“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!“

“Baskin Robins Ice Cream is a good choices on hot day 😄“

“The ice cream always tastes well and the location is very clean easy to walk . The only problem are all the young employees. The customer service is very poorly they rarely show manners and when it comes to asking for samples they always seemed bothered. Customers should be able to taste different flavors to know what they need or to try something new.“

“This is shop is a hidden gem ? in the area. Any time i need some sneaky snacks for my sweet tooth , this is the place.There are lot different varieties you can choose my favorite peanut butter truffles,smoothie.Summer time, I am here almost daily. Great shop, great customer service and the best hand made products for sweet tooth .“

“Service could use some improvement“

“Delicious ice cream, with top quality ingredients! Sizes are bigger than other nearby shops and it even includes toppings!“

“I am not sure why 626 Ice Cream has such bad reviews.

I had heard lots about this place, but due to them mostly being open on weekday nights, didn't have a chance to try them until yesterday afternoon.

I enjoyed the calming ambiance. Everything seemed randomly arranged, however it went well with the area.

The ice cream served here is very delicious and creamy, so if you like that type of style, you're better off coming here. I got the condensed milk and black sesame flavors with sprinkles, Gummy bears and mochi. Their mochi bin was nearly empty, and I discovered why when I ate my dessert. I mean, the other two toppings were also tasty and I'm glad I didn't do just mochi, but mochi had to be the best out of the three toppings I had.

Would come back if I were in the area!“

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

“One of my favorite ice cream places was Ici’s in Berkeley but it suddenly closed a few years ago. I’ve been looking for a place to fill that void and perhaps find closure. Well, I found closure and a new magical ice cream experience in Sunset Blvd. Eating their ice cream for the first time felt like that scene in the film Ratatouille where the food critic takes a bite and flashes back to his childhood.

I live 6 hours away, but always make sure to stop by when I’m visiting. I was going to give up ice cream for lent, but knew I wouldn’t be strong enough to skip Fluffy McCloud’s! Already looking forward to my next visit!“

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

“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!“

“Ice Cream is always so good here. Prompt service, very nice employees. Their waffle bowl could be a little more flavorful but that’s a personal preference. Got their hot fudge sundae waffle bowl with banana cream pie and vanilla ice creams and ate every bit. Definitely recommend a stop here“

“We absolutely loved Swrlies! They offered such a fun and delicious variety of frozen yogurt options—our team thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The service was prompt, professional, and a true pleasure to work with. We’re already looking forward to having Swrlies at our next company event!“

“Taiyaki and ice cream, a truly delicious match. This is a pretty small business, so sometimes it felt claustrophobic inside when it got busy. Compared to Somi Somi, the ice cream isn't as good, but I like this taiyaki slightly better. I do appreciate that the toppings are self-serve.“

“Sweet girl working the booth and providing excellent service. The soft serve here is absolutely delicious and always hits the spot, and the prices are very reasonable. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, but the tasty treats make it worth it!“

“I’ve had ice cream/gelato/granita/dondurma and a pile of other frozen desserts on 6 continents. This is my absolute favorite on the planet. While I never order strawberry anywhere else, here it is so full of fresh strawberry flavor that I never pass it up (and this flavor is dairy-free, you’d never know!). All the flavors are fresh and delicious but my favorites are the strawberry, banana sundae, Dubai chocolate and ashta.“

“This ice cream shop is a pop-up (probably permanent pop-up) in The Shops at Santa Anita. I loved the free sample they offered! The server is so generous in offering the samples. The croffle is the best we’ve had for a long time, warm and so yummy. I especially enjoyed the matcha and hojicha, both made with ceremonial-grade tea. The ice cream did not disappoint me either. Totally recommend for sugar craves!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Wanna get some yummy ice cream after you’ve had a burger at Amboy? There’s a variety of unique flavors at Scoops, in which I got a red velvet & oreo + vanilla & m&m shake. Probably would recommend having ice cream rather than milkshake because I think you can savor it better. The flavor was sweet and creamy, but in hindsight, I would have chosen just one flavor for the shake.“

“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.“

“absolutely love this place. we come all the way out from West Los Angeles just to get our ice cream fix. thank you guys and I wish you guys eternal success!“

“I went in on Tuesday, the new owners were in back of me. I was telling the cashier how disappointed my daughter was, we came in on monday and it was closed. Well the new owners, gave me a couple cookies for free. That was so awesome of them. My daughter was so happy and she said" Thank you so much!"“

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

“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!“

“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“

“My favorite is the cherry ice cream (beso de angel). But they don't just sell ice cream. They serve fresh drinks, the Maracuyá (passion fruit) is super delicious…!!! They also have delicious sandwiches, many Mexican snacks and above all excellent service!! 100%recommended..!!!“

“Hello Gelato stands out among the many frozen sweet shops in Old Town Pasadena. The flavors taste exactly like they're supposed to, rich and delicious. The texture is dense and smooth. I like chocolate and mint chip, and my husband swears by the stracciatelli. Bonus: you'll often meet the owner himself scooping behind the counter. A great little local business!“

“First time coming to this place and let me say that whoever thought of putting an ice cream shop next to a pizzeria is a genius! Anyways I tried the Chocolate Gooey Brownie and the Salted, Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Out of the 2 I would get the Salted,Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough again. The Chocolate Gooey Brownie is very choclatey and a bit boring. Salted, Malted is the way to go along with a waffle cone. Prices are reasonable, portions are fine, good ice cream but I probably would pick other spots just because of their variety. Overall I would definitely recommend this place and would come back.“

“It's one of my favorite locations of Afters. This place has nice decor outside. It's all outdoor seating. You walk up to the window and there's a person there to take your order. This location only takes credit card and tap (Apple/ Google pay). No cash.

There are a lot of good flavors, but I prefer the Ube brownie. I have yet to try their sweet bun. I like the waffle cone, but just like any waffle cone, they're messy to eat because they leak at the bottom. I'm not sure if they charge, but I saw a few people ask for an additional cup with their regular cake cone.

When we arrived there wasn't a line, but there was after we ordered. Lol. Thank goodness we got there before the wave of people came. Lots of parking around the place also.“

“Came here with a group of 5 and tasted the tofu donuts and the matcha soft serve!

Good:
- Tofu donut was super unique, I couldn't tell that it was tofu
- The soft serve was amazing- so creamy and not too sweet, and the serving size was large enough for 2 people to share or maybe even 3!

Bad:
- Long lines! Super popular place so you'll wait about 10 min for your order outside and there's limited seating

Overall this was a fun hole in the wall gem to find!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely amazing ice cream 🍨“

“I wasn’t planning on stopping by Salt & Straw last night but I’m sure glad I did. I got the Salted, Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough on a Salted Brownie Waffle Cone. I think my mind was blown. Un-dough-niably one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had.“

“Love this place. The peanut butter is by far the best flavor IMO but many others are great too. I order on Postmates all the time and they always get the order right. I also really appreciate the GF cones for my fiancee, who has celiac disease!“

“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.“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“This location only has ice cream, they do not have any other food items like burgers or fries etc that are available at other Fosters Freeze Locations. That said the malts and root beer floats and cones are stellar! And service was friendly and quick. Well done.“

“I love coming here whenever I swing by Pasadena. The ube waffle cone is delightful and every ice cream flavor I've tried has not disappointed me. So far my favorites are probably the pandan tres leches and black sesame cookies and cream“

“Tried their honey affogato and it was pretty good! even though it had honey it wasn’t too overly sweet so that was great, the coffee wasn’t bitter either so i would definitely recommend it, the place has tables to sit around and it’s pretty comfortable and the staff is very sweet, it also has a photobooth if you are looking for one in the little tokyo area, the only downside like every other place in little tokyo is the bathroom situation!“

“Italian ice was colorful and refreshing with just the right amount of soft serve to ice ratio. Just when I was running out of soft serve I found more at the bottom lolSundae was perfect amount of chocolate and whipped cream. Banana milkshake has fresh bananas combined with thick, creamy ice cream. Overall, a delight!“

“Great service! Always have a great experience here with my kids!“

“Oakobing is a must-try for dessert lovers! After seeing rave reviews across social media, we decided to check it out on a weeknight. It was quiet since we visited late, but that gave us the perfect chance to enjoy our dessert without the usual crowds. We ordered the green tea shaved ice with tiny mochis, and it was delicious. The texture reminded us of Taiwan night market treats, although this is a Korean dessert spot. The shaved ice was delicate and fluffy, offering a light, refreshing sweetness.

The place itself is small but has a bright, modern vibe, and the service was quick and friendly. There’s paid parking available on the side, which is convenient enough. Oakobing specializes in Korean-style shaved ice (bingsoo) with many flavors and milkshake options to choose from. The portions are just right for sharing, making it the perfect spot for a sweet indulgence with friends. If you’re looking for a unique dessert experience, Oakobing won’t disappoint!“

“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.“
