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“

“I went there in the afternoon and only a few cars were there. I order a combo and it came fairly quickly but they did forget condiment that I had to call back to get. The food was better then mickey d's but it was still fast food.“

“Love the vibes of this place. For those that grew up going to Ace Yogurts, this place is very similar vibe. This place has different variety of flavors to choose from and very unique but so worth it. The flavors are occasionally different from time to time but it’s nice to come back to try something new and fresh. They always give samples of the flavor if you’re feeling curious about the taste they will give you a detailed explanation about it.“

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

“When you have gotten to Handels, YOU HAVE ARRIVED! The creamiest, most flavorful, fair-priced, delicious ice cream ever. I feel like congratulating first timers when I hear they haven't been there before. You won't be sorry, rain or shine. I promise!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Found this place on Groupon, and I'm glad I did. Got a chocolate peanut butter and thatch 2 scoop waffle cone. It was absolutely delicious, and unlikethe one with31 flavors, they don't skimp at all. The gentleman serving the ice cream was very nice and welcoming. I will definitely be going back. Give this place a try...“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Amazing for a Friday afternoon“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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..!!!“

“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!“

“Amazing flavor choices and delicious cookies!“

“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)“

“My little kid love this....😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“The flavors were great! I think most if not all of them are thrifty flavors. The place was nice and clean and honestly a pretty fair price for the amount of scream you get. I only got the scoops, nothing speciality, but it was great and I will definitely be going back.“

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

“🍂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🍨“

“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 love coming here for years ever since I was a kid, love the great service and good laughs I get when I’m here. Best Shakes and ice cream around good priced and also refreshing water and water supplies. Recommend coming when you craving a refreshing tasty shake. I always try to bring someone whenever I have a chance so they know to come.“

“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!“

“Los helados están buenísimos 😋“

“Delicious. Love the variety every week.“

“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“

“Love the double scoop sundae 😍“

“5 stars for the service but omg we just came to try the Tiger Milk Tea with boba and oh boy avoid at all costs. Whoever thought of it had a great idea and presentation(minus the vanilla scoop making it look like chunks of cheese floating around your tea) but awful awful execution. Also did not know the brown sugar boba was popping boba and it just felt like exploding gobs of caramel with each boba, very unpleasant. Get something else!!Also big sad there's no bubblegum flavor ice cream. :(“

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

“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“

“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!“
