50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Alhambra

“I had a banana split with 3 different flavors of ice cream it was so yummy fresh ice cream I live in west Covina I'd drive to fosselmans just to have an ice cream“

“Home made Tacos home made ice cream. What else can a growing boy ask for? Lol“

“Afters has been my favorite ice cream place ever since moving to Cali back in 2018. I've tried multiple flavors, but keep coming back to the Salty O's (as a milkshake, and often with some caramel thrown in). I've tried and enjoyed the Ube Brownie, cookie monster, dark matter brownie batter, and the milk & cereal.

All solid tasty options that I would get again. For a friend's bday 🎂 I plan on getting them an Afters ice cream cake.

If you haven't already, drop by and give them a try.“

“A down-home Mexican food experience run by nice women with good kind of spicy steak picado and rice and beans and corn tortillas for a good price. and the people running the very interesting sweet shop that it is inside were kind enough to turn down the loud disco music they were playing.“

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

“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“

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

“OH. MY. GOODNESS.
Visited from out of town and I kicking myself that I didn’t visit earlier! This is truly the BEST soft serve I’ve ever had. Not even a competition. I had the Mango Sago and Ca Phe Sua Da flavors and they were both absolute bangers. They tasted just like the actual thing and they were super creamy. This maker knows what they’re doing.

The atmosphere at night with the mood lighting, groups of friends hanging, art all around, and chill music just made the experience that much better.

Finally, the staff were all super friendly with great customer service skills. I felt immediately welcome and left feeling so happy to support a small AANHPI-owned business. Thank you, 626! 💓“

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

“Do you run in the non-dairy lane and are tired of the same old-same old flavors? Of being looked down on as a tiresome afterthought at most ice cream shops? Then Scoops is your Valhalla, a veritable Mt Olympus of flavor combinations. At least 2 non-dairy choices + a sorbet and it won’t be the same as you bought last week or the week before that. Also, it’s the least snobby creamery in LA.“

“First of all the ice cream is absolutely delicious!!! We got a banana split and the Jerry’s Cherries was our fave flavor; the bruleed bananas were a great call. Loved the music here and the selection of old candies was so fun. The vibe was great; would love to be able to come here all the time.“

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

“The best ❣️ Their vegan flavors are great“

“Tried the crepe rolls at Roll Cafe today and they were absolutely delicious! You can tell a lot of care goes into the food, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Maria and Isabel were both so friendly and welcoming — they made the whole experience even better. Excited to have this new spot around and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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“

“Delicious ice cream. Nice variety of selections. I got the affogato and it was perfect. The young kid with the curly hair in his eyes is extremely rude and grumpy. No hello, nothing. Gave us an attitude when we asked him about the cones. It's an ice cream shop. Smile more, you're working in the wrong place kid.Unfortunately this is the norm now with this generation.“

“Omg the portions are huge!

I couldn’t pick so the lady who took my order helped me choose and I got the peanut butter chocolate brownie flavor (I think). But anyways it is huge, and the ice cream is rich but at the same time didn’t taste too sweet at all. I was having a rough day, but now I just feel happyyyy.

Loved the ice cream and the vibes, will be back for sure!“

“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!“

“whenever someone visiting asks me where a good matcha place is, i always recommend tea master! i love all of their matcha offerings, and i especially love coming here for dessert after a meal and getting the matcha soft serve. service is friendly and efficient.“

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

“First time here, loved the ice cream!

It tasted better than other ice creams I've had. I ordered the pistachio and praline ice cream scoops on a waffle cup. The pistachio nuts were so good! Overall, I was impressed with the quality of the ice cream. It tasted more authentic than the other places I've been to. Customer service was good too.

They had outdoor seating but it was too hot so I enjoyed my ice cream in my car with the A/C on.“

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

“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.“

“This is my favorite place to get cookies from! Every visit is a great experience, the cookies are always fresh, delicious, and consistently hit the spot. On top of that, the customer service is always amazing. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel valued every time you walk in. It’s definitely my go-to spot whenever I’m craving something sweet!“

“👍 have heard they are pricey but worth it. Can’t wait to try one“

“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!“

“Swrlies is a must have at any event. The team was professional, friendly, efficient, easy to work with and the highlight of our event. The guests were so excited and raving about the froyo station, it was the perfect addition to the event. If you're looking for a froyo vender I highly recommend Swrlies! I'm a fan and look forward to booking them for my next event.“

“OMG, I just visited this place La Garrafa MX? nieces de garrafa reminded me so much of my mother's home town Cocula Jalisco Mx. I tried several flavors, coffee, passion fruit, dragon fruit, nuez, mama, and last but not least pistachio. wow the flavors were amazing I am definitely going back and tried all the other flavors of nieve de garrafa.“

“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!"“

“Visited here on a Friday evening & it was moderately busy. This specific spot is very spacious compared to other Salt & Straws, clean interior is always a plus. Love that they have a little merchandise store with some benches inside & some open tables outside.

Parking here can be a bit tough though. Either parking on the curb which can be hard due to how packed the Art District can get. The alternate is to park in paid lots that can range from $4- $15+

Staff here is great, my wife and I wanted to try plenty of ice cream flavors and they were really accommodating & friendly.

We decided on a double scoop on a cup. Our two flavors combined were Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Hazelnut Cookies & Cream. Scoop sizes are pretty big and pretty overflowing for the cups. It would be perfect if the cups were just a bit bigger to hold the scoops. Although it's a bit sweet, it was the perfect dessert after a meal.

Overall, great spot for ice cream, can't go wrong with any flavors as all the flavors are delicious. Love the vibes here because of the staff, will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area.“

“This place is sooo gooood!! Easy parking as it was Sunday evening. There wasn’t a line but definitely a lot of people sitting and eating. There are a few outdoor tables as well as limited inside seating. Bring a jacket cause this area gets chilly at night. The calamansi creamsicle flavor is the perfect summer flavor😍“

“Very enjoyable and they even had a dairy free option for one in our party that is lactose intolerant. Frozen treats for the doggos is also nice. Lots of nice seating and the setting in a vintage gas station replica is cute and adds to the charm.“

“Just the way Foster's was when I was a kid. They used to have these in Orange County, I thought they closed up! This place has plenty of parking, you sit outside. They sell burgers and drinks too, but I only go to buy a tiny cup of soft serve for $2-$3 that they totally overfill!“

“Ever since I had Hokkaido ice cream, I’ve been dreaming about it. I love that Indigo Cow opened up in LA, and I don’t have to fly to Hokkaido to get it!

The soft serve ice cream is served in two flavors here. I highly recommend the Hokkaido milk! You won’t get a creamier softer ice cream than anywhere else. I opted to add the mochi, brown sugar syrup, and roasted soy bean powder for an extra $2. It wasn’t bad, but I think I would add warabimochi next time!

I was here after dinner, and there were no other patrons. I didn’t have to wait. The place is small, but there is indoor seating and water station. No bathroom though.

Parking here is tough because you have to find a spot on the street.

An izakaya opened up next door recently.“

“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.“

“If you offered me this ice cream 1 million times I would accept it 1 million times… It is so delicious. I got the pure milk flavor with black sugar drizzle, PERFECTION. I taste tested the dole whip, and it was also delicious. The texture of the soft serve is exactly what I was looking for. 100% will be back. The staff was so nice and they even have a free topping bar… Really cute little shop!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Such a cute and delicious ice cream and shakes store! They give you small samples to try - I got the mascarpone strawberry shortcake flavour as a shake and it was full of flavour and worth it. The worker was also super nice and easy to chat to.“

“I’ve loved Foster Freeze since I was a teenager and I’ve been coming here for years. Nothing has changed — it’s still the same delicious recipe I remember! I love that they’re open late, so you can go even when it’s cold outside. My favorite is the pineapple shake — it’s amazing! Their ice cream is perfect, especially on a hot day. This place is a classic and always hits the spot“

“I was incredibly pleasantly surprised to try this yogurt place. For the me Tantric flavor was soooo amazing and the chocolate one is freaking out of this world! The cone is also SO unique and perfect. It's my favorite now! I can't say enough about the staff, such cool vibe!“

“Delicious. Love the variety every week.“

“Got out of concert “Sting n Shaggy” walked down the street & had a wonderful milk bar chocolate edged cone w/ flakes of crunchy toppings... very delicious & tasty.“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

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

“Excellent shaved Ice. This is the only shaved ice that I've ever eaten that actually tastes like Ice cream. It's incredibly delicious and worth the visit. I recommend their mango melon. It's perfection. Strawberry one is great too if you like Strawberries. It is a small place and finding a place to sit inside will be challenging and uncomfortable if you get claustrophobic in a small busy space. I suggest take out. Also, parking is an issue but that's pretty much Pasadena for you. Otherwise, I strongly recommend it.“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“Best Frozen Yogurt Ever Tasted“

“I got the Chocolate Pistachio Crunch with the optional Pistachio Cream around the cup and on top.
The ice cream itself was delicious, it had a really nice pistachio flavor without being too overwhelming, with plenty of crispy caramelized cone pieces and chocolate chunks swirled throughout.
I paid a little over $11 for a regular sized cup, which I felt was on the expensive side; a pint is about $15-16 so I think next time I would just get a pint instead“
