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“

“Armando was very professional in the way he solves problems, the machines at sonic are outdated and Armando puts in 110% effort to accommodate for the machines being slow. Honestly me and my wife would only continue eating here if Armando becomes manager the guy deserves a raise and he actually cares about the customer!! Bravo Armando!“

“What a delightful and delicious surprise! We were out looking for some interesting ice cream and stumbled on this place. 6 flavors of soft serve. We both loved the Vietnamese Coffee! I got another flavor Yakukt (tart yogurt) and hubby got the coffee and condensed milk flavor.

The owner took the time to explain each flavor and give us a taste sample of 4 flavors. For a Friday night it was packed and a line out the door, but totally worth it. Great vibes inside!“

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

“I don’t know a single person who hates this place. Everyone is super friendly. The ice cream is so delicious. A small scoop is anything BUT small. And the 4-scoop sampler will forever be one of the best deals in all of the ice cream kingdom. May this place last forever.“

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

“Finally stopped in while passing through the area and regret not coming sooner! Unique ice cream flavors with rotating seasonal flavors that include non-dairy options. They also have a great selection of craft beers on tap. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Small outdoor seating area, so its a nice spot to enjoy a scoop or pint with your dog.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent premium ice cream, amazing service, and a great Walnut location. Scoopz offers unique flavors, fresh desserts, Turkish coffee, and consistently friendly staff. If you’re looking for quality ice cream, great service, and a clean, family-friendly dessert shop in Walnut, Scoopz is the place to go.“

“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.“

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

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

“Great place for ice cream.“

“If dessert could float, it would taste like Nobibi in West Covina☁️✨This spot is pure pastel daydream — where every drink and treat looks straight out of a cloud!

I tried the Ube Cloud, a creamy mix of ube and milk that’s rich, velvety, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, just that deep ube flavor with a silky finish💜

Then came the Dream Cloud, and it really lives up to the name — topped with cotton candy, corn flakes, Oreo crumbles, strawberry sprinkles, and toasted marshmallow. Every bite is a mix of textures: crunchy, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth soft🍓🍪💭

It’s a dessert experience that feels like stepping into a dream — light, playful, and so aesthetic you almost don’t want to eat it (but trust me, you will)🫶🏼“

“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“

“🍂Churro season just got even better at @churroboss in Covina! Everything here is made in-house — from the warm, crispy churros dusted in cinnamon sugar to their creamy ice creams and decadent drinks.

I tried their seasonal Pumpkin Affogato (yes, pumpkin ice cream topped with espresso🤎), the Mad Abuelita — an iced Mexican hot chocolate with a shot of espresso and whipped cream — and the Churro Split loaded with classic vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry scoops🍨“

“Came over because I saw that they offered a lot of the Asian store ice creams, but there weren’t that many and it was per piece. They do have a good selection for wholesale ice cream. So if you want to buy in bulk this is a good place. Otherwise the prices are the same as if you go to an Asian market like 99 ranch, Fukuya or duo duo. They do have snacks and candies too.“

“Amazing for a Friday afternoon“

“My little kid love this....😋“

“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..!!!“

“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♥️“

“Absolutely love their ice cream. Best service and friendliest staff!“

“Went into Crumbl tonight and when I walked in the first employee didn’t greet us or even make eye contact, but the girl worker in the back I believe making the cookies with super short hair was the sweetest and her customer service was top tier.“

“I love Handel’s ice cream, it’s truly high quality and delicious. The atmosphere of the outside seating is very nice, with the lights and all the people around it felt warm. The mint chocolate chip ice cream is delicious and worth the price point!“

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

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

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

“Update:
Stopped by this cute spot again today and tried their ceremonial hojicha drinks — and honestly, so good.

We got the iced hojicha latte and a hojicha affogato, and both were super smooth, earthy, and not overly sweet. The latte had that perfect roasted flavor, and the affogato was such a fun treat — creamy, rich, and topped with a fluffy swirl that looked as good as it tasted.

The ordering area is bright and clean, and their menu board makes everything look extra tempting. If you love matcha or hojicha (or just want to switch things up from regular coffee), this place is definitely worth a stop.

Would totally come back to try the matcha affogato next time. 💚

We ordered “chunk and swirls” and “caramel fudge cashews”. They are so good, so satisfying. Highly recommended these two flavors. (Sorry my husband ate it all before I can take a picture of his)“

“great quality desserts. something for the whole family“

“Delicious homemade pies! I've tried the key lime, berry chess, and the carrot cake, and all were so good. They also have a lot of unique candy (including several Swedish candy options) and other gifty things for anyone who loves sweets or cute stuff. Great shop!“

“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.“

“Love the double scoop sundae 😍“

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

“Friendly people run this place, the ice cream is great with Middle Eastern flavor ! But this place is a wholesaler, you can only get it from one of the markets they sell to, i.e. Pasha Market, Maison Rafi, Tropicana International Market, etc.“

“I believe yesterday was their grand opening so today I made my way over there to show my support. I filled up my water jug (75. cents) and I got myself a delicious raspado de tamarindo ($5). They have dairy and water based paletas, smoothies, aguas frescas, chips, thrifty ice cream, and they make sandwiches too!“

“Delicious. Love the variety every week.“

“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“

“The service was friendly and ice cream was delicious. There seemed to be a lot of customization options, but also appreciated the assortment of classic flavors. Portions are generous and pricing affordable. Look forward to trying the funnel cake and cookies next time.“

“tasty and fun, you need to go... Soon!“

“the service is very good and serve your order right away and the icecream is always good“

“This place is an alternative for melo melo. Quality wise and taste wise for the jelly are as good as melo melo. One thing I don’t like is the egg waffle because it wasnt not crispy. Other than that, everything’s good. Lots of parking. Service by server are friendly and didn’t take too long to get my food.“

“The girls here are always so nice and helpful. Very fast professional service always! Last night one of the girls showed my daughters and I how they hand make the waffle cones😃 I love this 31 Flavs in particular!“

“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“

“delicious yogurt and smoothies. Excellent Excellent service.“
