50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Encino

“Just there for the Mint Chocolate Chip!! 😜😜“

“Nothing better on a hot Sunday afternoon. The selection was great that's typical for this establishment. However the restroom was out of order for a room full of children.. I asked one of the employees about it and she barked back at me nothing I can do about it! Maybe customer service should be added into their training.“

“The dessert box was a big hit even by seasoned bakers. The kids claimed their favorites first. I highly recommend saving your host time and worry. Take the best. My host had a sneak bite and energized with a huge smile to greet her guests with a huge smile knowing the grand finale was going to be stunning and delicious! BIG HIT“

“We really love this chain of places, but this particular location is our favorite, even though it’s a bit farther to get to.
The main reason is that they always have the mandarin sorbet (vegan), which is absolutely delicious!
The service and everything else are also excellent.“

“Ariana at Shake Shack is amazing!
She was super friendly, patient, and made the whole experience way better. Great attitude, fast service, and you could tell she really cared about the customers. People like her make you actually want to come back. Shake Shack is lucky to have her!“

“The flavors are amazing!!!!! Pandan coconut waffle (vegan), mango sticky rice (vegan) and ube milk crunch. Sooooo delicious“

“Hands down they are the THE BEST!! We hosted a teacher appreciation event for a local school & the ice cream truck was a HUGE hit! So impressed with the customer service and we love supporting small business like them! Thank you!“

“Ending our dinner at Sugarfish, the host recommended we try Van Leeuwen Ice Cream..and wow, I’m so glad we did. I got the Earl Grey and Sugar Cookie Dough, and it was absolutely delicious. The small cup was the perfect amount to end the evening.

The cashier was incredibly kind and let us sample several flavors until we found the ones we loved, which made the experience even better. Everything was so yummy 😋

Highly recommend if you’re near one of their locations..and bonus, they have vegan options too!“

“IN LOVEEE WITH SOMISOMI 😋😋!!!

I get the custard filling and milk soft serve with rainbow sprinkles and coconut and it was delicious!! I also like the cute fish cone and the macaroon.

I really recommend this spot for some delicious soft served ice cream!“

“The cookies and cream ice cream is so good! They also give you a generous portion. The ice cream doesn’t melt easily even when we were eating outside in a hot weather. I have to mention they have a lot of vegan options too! And lastly, the staff is really nice which makes the overall experience really great. 😊“

“Pink rose ice cream for the win!!!“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“Max is absolutely the best! He was so helpful in navigating the menu. The flavors here are incredible you can tell everything is highquality and actually healthy.

It’s rare to find a treat that tastes this good without the guilt. Thank you so much Frozen Fruit Co!“

“Fell in love with each and every bite of my crêpe. NomZ 😋“

“The chocolate cookies & cream was my favorite though could have been better w more cookies and fresher, crunchier cookies; the hojicha was better than expected; and the gaviota strawberry tasted of real, sweet strawberry. Updated from previous review on 2025-10-02“

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“Honestly, I was skeptical looking at the menu choice. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and experiment. I played it safe, but was still highly impressed. I tried the honey lavender and coffee and love nuts, it was phenomenal highly recommend please try do not judge. The irony is the honey and lavender has notes of some tea flavor that I could not put my finger on, but it paired well with the coffee.“

“very good.. and it's right next to Joe's Pizza 😋“

“Seaport, Boston location. Staff MADE SURE I was picking the flavor that I really wanted. They wanted me to feel like a welcome tourist. Mission Accomplished.“

“Artisanal ice cream. Very good.“

“The Pricing of the is much lower than most places, you get the toppings for free with no cost extra. You get a lot of ice cream for $13 which you get 12oz for that much. Good choices of exterior to look a bit fancy at cheap for what it looks like“

“My recommendation is to come here if you're looking to stock up on goodies for a party, especially during the summer. Things like Piñatas, Ice Cream, Block of Ice (for shaved ice and candy. For things like cups, straws, plates you could find better deals at other big stores. It's more about what you won't find in those places that you can find at Northridge Ice Cream.

During my visit I picked up a big block of ice for $10, big piñata for 20 and some candy.

Overall, this place serves local vendors with ice cream, snacks and anything in between. I visited this place out of curiosity, but ended up leaving with bags of imported candy. A good half of it you can find in big supermarkets like Vallarta, but not all. The variety is good and organization methods. The folks there were very friendly and helpful. It felt like they were happy to have visitors in, but maybe you're just a happy person if you sell ice cream all day.“

“Milk and Sugar Time is such a gem in LA! The drinks are perfectly balanced, never too sweet, and the boba is always fresh and chewy. The shop has a cozy vibe, and the staff are super friendly and quick. Definitely my new go-to spot for a pick-me-up!“

“We had an amazing experience at Bango Creamery! The rolled ice cream was super fresh and delicious, and it was fun watching it being made. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The shop was clean and had a great vibe. Definitely coming back again!“

“In the heart ♥️ of the beautiful downtown of Culver City Salt & Straw Is there waiting for you to go and taste they’re vegan ice cream 🍦 with fresh waffle cones 😋yummy . The place is nice,clean ,friendly staff and you get one hour free parking“

“My friend put me on to yogurt gelato and she said this place’s version matches to what she had in Italy! It’s like a froyo taste but a fluffy and creamy version. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of coffee, hazelnut, or pistachio, there’s still something for you here.

I also got the crema torino (hazelnut experience), which is a little less sweet than its pistachio counterpart. I don’t think they have a single flavor that isn’t a hit. A lot of the flavors are similar, so just sample the ones you are curious about if you want to figure out the difference because there usually is a subtle one! This location is smaller than the one in Beverly Hills but with the same cute interior and fantastic service. While it can be a little pricey, it’s honestly not any more expensive than any of the other dessert spots in the area and they cram an extremely generous portion into the cup.“

“obsessed with the Earl grey ice cream!!“

“I went to Sweet Rose Ice Cream expecting a normal day, and instead I experienced emotional turbulence in a waffle cone. I ordered the dairy-free chocolate, and WHY was it so good??? It wasn’t sweet at all—just pure, dark, sophisticated chocolate energy, like it pays taxes early and hydrates regularly.
I took one bite and immediately forgot every bad decision I’ve ever made. The waffle cone was so crispy it practically screamed at me when I bit into it. Honestly, it crunch-punched me back into reality.
As someone who avoids overly sweet desserts, this ice cream felt like it understood me on a spiritual level. 12/10. Would absolutely return, probably running, possibly yelling.
🍦🔥😵‍💫✨“

“I like the yogurt, but am unhappy with the price increase. I ordered a mini size raspberry cup with a vanilla base and was charged $5.05. That is a little too much.“

“It was our first visit to this location but definitely not our last!�“

“Probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had! I would recommend it everyone! Amazing flavors, add ins and the texture is the best!“

“I grew up going to the original handels in Ohio. It is by far the best I’ve ever eaten! Brought back so many memories !!“

“I love this place and I have been coming here for over 10 years“

“Amazing ice cream, green juices, and tortas ❤️“

“The family and I were up at 3rd Street Promenade celebrating my oldest's birthday. We ate at Din Tai Fung and came here after. It was the first time I have eaten McConnell's. I was impressed with the flavor selection. The one I chose had salted caramel and brownies. I enjoyed it, it was rich and creamy so not very frozen. I would come back.“

“There hamburgers are really good“

“Cute little ice cream shop. They have drinks if you dont want ice cream. I got a pistachio matcha latte, which surprisingly was very good. It is expensive at nearly $9 for a small drink, they call it medium but it's small. However it is good a nice treat every once in awhile. Can't comment on the ice cream as I didnt get any and dont like ice cream but the drinks are good“

“la número uno en el valle“

“Agua fresca and ice cream so good,variety of flavors 😋😋😋“

“Me encanta los Raspados 🍧 y las tostadas de cueritos y las tortas 😋“

“Basim is the owner with his wife. Such amazing people, always kind, polite and always amazing ice cream. I recommend this place not only because the ice cream is amazing but because they are such sweet people. Come and support them you won’t regret it ✨“

“So good. Tried the sampler with my daughter and literally went back to get more. Theres this little icecream shop in ensenada and the chocolate is the best we have ever had and this icecream tastes just like it. They had tons of flavors and the service was fast too. Banana cream pie flavor was sooo good. If I’m ever in the area, will definitely stop by“

“I have tried out many coffee shops in the area but this one has the BEST COFFEE. No matter what I order it's always been amazing. Staff is so friendly and I love going there to do work :)“

“The staff are super friendly and make me feel welcome every time I walk in, which makes the whole experience even better. The cookies are always fresh, warm, and perfectly packaged. It’s definitely one of my favorite spots when I want to treat myself or surprise friends and family with something sweet.“

“Great friendly staff and clean Baskin Robbins. They have tables to enjoy your yummy ice cream and it’s clean, which is a must for me.“

“Muy rico Yogurt, 100% Recomendado 🍉🍒🍓🍎👍“

“an amazing stop for a late night treat.

they have dairy-free and parve options! usually a fruity sorbet flavor, parve chocolate and vanilla.

many toppings to choose from including fresh fruit, candies, cereals, sprinkles and syrups.
the atmosphere is pretty calm and quiet with a few tables to sit at.

the employees are also extremely kind and make me and my friends feel so welcome every visit.“

“Just THE best ice cream you'll ever taste and with an Italian name like Freddo it's actually the Argentinian style. And that's why MY favorite is Dulce de Leche Granizado with the Italian Cone or sugar cone we like to call 'cucurucho'. Once you'll taste THAT, you'll know what real ice cream taste that. Only then, you could call it 'helado de Freddo' like WE do“

“Their frozen Custard Is the best in LA, run by an enthusiastic couple who love their creations.“

“The staff greeted us right away and offered plenty of samples. I felt encouraged to find the right flavor for me. Highly recommend the stracciatella. It was the right amount of creamy sweetness with chocolate. I didn't feel over loaded with sugar like a regular ice cream store. Well definitely visit again.“
