50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Duarte

“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!"“

“We got the ice cream cake with chocolate cake and chocolate chip and mint chip ice cream. The ice cream cake was good and fresh. The whip cream wasn’t that good but every else was good. We got great service. Everyone enjoyed the birthday cake. Ten out of ten recommend. They have plenty of parking and no public restroom.“

“great quality desserts. something for the whole family“

“Some Drinks are good. Some drinks are OK. And some drinks a friend may have lied about which possibly got me overly excited to try, only to seriously disappoint. Can't say they have bad drinks. But I can say I may need some better friends. Food is good.“

“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!“

“We came here today to check out the Dubai chocolate, and it was really good. The service was phenomenal, like checking the ingredients of the ice creams to make sure which flavors didn't contain nuts, which my brother was allergic to. Again, I had a great visit and felt welcome being there.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice owners! Great service! Great prices! The Parlor serves frozen yogurts, fruit smoothies, desserts, and panni sandwiches!“

“Excelente customer service love the Mangoniadas delicious everything is delicious“

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

“Location and

Parking: My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of visiting La Michoacana Ice Cream University, a Mexican ice cream shop. We were looking for snacks to take out for the movies and we were craving some esquites. And so I quickly searched one up and found this place. This is located in a plaza and they're right across from the Azusa Pacific University. And now I know why they named the shop as such. Finding parking is really easy, I had no trouble finding parking although it was at night. But I'm pretty sure during the day you can easily find parking there.Food Selection: We ordered two small esquites – for the uninitiated, esquites are Mexican snacks made with corn kernels, similar to elote but served warm in disposable cups, minus the cob. We also ordered a fruit bowl topped with chamoy and tajin. While everything was delicious, the standout was definitely the fruit bowl, with the chamoy and tajin. It was flavorful and filling. (I will attach pictures of the food for reference.)Ambiance: Stepping inside, the shop was very clean, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I noticed in the front of the shop that they have free Wi-Fi but it was password protected. So I'm assuming that you need to ask one of the staff for the password if you want to study there for a while.Staff and Service: Though I didn't catch our server/cashier's name, he was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. I really like the fact that before handling the food, he washed his hands before attending to us– a small yet crucial detail that deserves commendation.Recommendation: I highly recommend La Michoacana Ice Cream University for anyone seeking some delicious Mexican snacks and ice cream! As a first-timer at a La Michoacana establishment, I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied with the experience. I'm eager to return and continue supporting this small business.Date and Time of Visit: November 2023 on a Sunday.

Parking: Located in the plaza. Plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: A lot of ice cream flavors and snacks to choose from!“

“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..!!!“

“So neat, clean, smells amazing in the stores and always delicious.

Vegetarian options: Idk

“Best ice cream shop I have ever been to by far. Perfect place to finish up a nice out in Covina, or just to go to in general.

Dietary restrictions: Has keto and dairy free (using coconut cream and/or oat milk) ice cream, ice cream with alcohol infused has a low ABV so it's consider non alcoholic (you can definitely still taste the alcohol)

Parking: Street parking right in front and down the street, large parking lots about a block and 2 blocks south“

“brought back memories, next time chocolate dip cone 😋🍦“

“I bought 2 orders of the churro sundae. Comes with 2 (6 inch) churros with a scoop of ice cream of your choice. The place was great, staff was great they went above and beyond. I only had one issue. One of the churros was great crispy and chewy in the center but the other one was stale. It happened with both of my orders. I will try it out one more time to see if it happens again. Otherwise, the flavor was delicious.“

“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!“

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

“Just not ice cream. They actually have a lot of snacks from japan. Don't let the metal fencing out front discourage you. Keep in mind you are going to a warehouse so there are no thrills or frills. They allow you to buy in bulk so if you are having a party this is the spot.“

“Los helados están buenísimos 😋“

“Highly recommend Baskin Robbins for your next cake order. Cakes taste amazing! Spoke to Brian, goes above and beyond to make your experience the best
Everyone at my baby shower loved the cake, were looking for seconds. My daughters bday was also another hit with their cakes yum! All the kids loved the jack skellington design ??
I will definitely continue ordering cakes here in the future“

“I had a (vegan) chocolate sorbet that was the best vegan dessert I’ve ever had. You don’t know it’s vegan. It holds up as a fabulous chocolate dessert even if it wasn’t vegan. It’s like rich dark chocolate mousse that’s almost frozen….smooth but slightly “icy”.“

“Loved this place while living in Monrovia. Please look into placing one in Palmdale/Lancaster area❤️🥰❤️“

“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“

“It was a gamble driving 30 miles to Tamer's site to get Dippin Dots. We didn't really know what to expect and just hoping it is worth the drive. We are so glad we did. Tamer "T" is awesome! He catered to our needs and communicated constantly to make sure nothing is missed. He is very accommodating and will answer any question you may have. We will definitely come back on our next party to get more Dippin Dots. Recommended A+++++++++!!!! Thank you T for the seamless transaction! We will see you on our next party!“

“I can’t recommend this place highly enough! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and professionalism. The staff and owner is incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Simona even stayed with us to have a chat.

We tried their vegan chocolate and milk chocolate gelato — both were absolutely amazing! Rich, smooth, and bursting with flavor. My wife had the hazelnut and chocolate chip, and she loved every bite. It’s rare to find a place that nails both dairy and non-dairy options, but they’ve done it here.

The service exceeded our expectations — not just because of the quality, but because of the care and detail put into every step. You don’t always find businesses that operate with both heart and excellence, but this one absolutely does.

Thank you for an amazing experience — we’ll definitely be back and will be recommending you to everyone we know!“

They have dairy and water based paletas, smoothies, aguas frescas, chips, thrifty ice cream, and they make sandwiches too!“

“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.“

“Yummy❣️❣️❣️staff is phenomenal ❣️❣️❣️“

“delicious choices of yogurt and very friendly. & very clean. will definitely be back“

“Went in with my daughter on Wednesday afternoon 5/29 and the girl helping us did such a great job. She was inviting, engaging, and had a positive attitude. Most importantly she was consistently like that with all the customers that came in. Her co worker was just as efficient. Nice job team. Keep it up. Good service is a lost art form.“

“I've been going here for 15 years+. They have the best tasting water. I live a hour away and we moved in 2019 and that never stopped us from going. The owner is super nice as well is her daughter. I love getting my iced tea there as well.“

“Excellent customer service has a variety of options to be honest I was skeptical at first but once I came in I realized it was super clean and they were really nice to me and they have options that a lot of stores around here don't have for example I was looking for one of those fruit stand guys and I didn't find any today because the last time I went to one this guy had no mask I don't think he washed his hands it looks really non-hygienic and it was kind of expensive here it was cheaper than that guy and they were very hygienic and it was such a nice story to come to I would recommend it to everybody around here“

“Wish the selection was better this week.“

“This place has by far the best esquites I’ve ever had, they’re nice and al dente and the flavors are so well balanced
their handmade ice cream is amazing in the summer as well,
This place is a Such a gem 🙌🏻 the owners are very sweet and great at their craft“

“Came here with my wife and got yogurt. Tart was not working so the girl kindly got it working for me. I left a $2 tip. The owner comes in at the end of her shift, takes the money from the can . I may have mistaken, but that was dirty imop. Give the tips to the workers..
Edit.. My apologies. Hopefully they have a special blend of yogurt for those so inclined to steal tips from workers. ?“

“I love yogurt. and they offer variety of flavors and toppings“

“My 1st time here. They had 2 vegan options. I opted for the chocolate chip cookie dough vegan ice cream. A bit pricey for ice cream though.

Dietary restrictions: They had 2 vegan options

Parking: Shared lot with several other businesses & it was almost full on a Saturday night“
