5 Best Ice Cream Shops in Arcadia

“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!“

“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!“

“Dippin dots is so fun. A great twist on ice cream that is like little ice bubbles popping and melting in your mouth. Very easy to eat and enjoy, the texture is so amusing. They have a nice selection of different flavors. The cookies and cream one was very delicious and sweet. Great spot for a quick dessert after eating.“

“Delicious frozen yogurt and a variety of toppings! I’ve been coming to this location for many years and they always have consistently yummy staple flavors and seasonal ones too. Over time they’ve added new toppings like strawberry or mango popping boba and different flavored gummies. They have fresh fruit, chocolate toppings, mochi bits, cheesecake bites, watermelon gummies, nuts, Oreos, and more. Their employees were cheerful and efficient.
