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

“03/16/2026

I ordered the coconut frozen yogurt along with the chocolate one. It was very addictive not to mention they have a whole different variety which I'm looking forward to try. And the topings? They have a lot.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious! I had the Nutella filled cake cone with cookies and 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. 😊“

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

“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“

“Pink rose ice cream for the win!!!“

“Truly the best tasting non-dairy ice cream I’ve ever had! Can’t choose a favorite flavor…they are all so delicious! Simple, healthy but delicious ingredients without the gums or other fillers that make other non-dairy ice creams take a toll on your body. And so many new flavors all the time. Really amazed how delicious they each are— pure alchemy! (Hope they expand locations to Venice.)“

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

“Artisanal ice cream. Very good.“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“Fun, unique once cream flavors that are acutally yummy. Had the strawberry, honey, balsamic (forgot to take a pic) and the strawberry didn't taste fake. Was open late at the WeHo location. Can't wait to go back. Helpful staff.“

“Great tasting ice cream, seating area for kids was a plus. Mojdeh the owner also makes beautiful artwork. Staff are very accommodating and extremely nice. Overall great experience. By the way they have famous Persian “faloodeh” both traditional and pomegranate flavor. Also traditional Persian ice cream that’s house made! Definitely recommend!“

“Stopped at this place after looking up a dessert shop that sells rolled ice cream.
You definitely get what you pay for. Plenty of thick rolls (4 in total) of selected flavors with up to three toppings to choose from.
I chose the lime with graham cracker flavor and it was creamy, crunchy, and cool to taste. The server/ice cream prepped was very polite, professional, and prompt in taking our orders and in preparing the ice cream. A very nice experience.“

“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“

“Honestly, about the best gelato I’ve had outside of Italy. I’ve had gelato in Rome and Venice, Amsterdam in various other countries. Gelato in the United States has always pale in comparison but this place does it right. However, at $10 for a small you’re absolutely gonna pay for it and it boggles my mind how desensitize people have come to just opening their wallets.“

“Amazing ice cream store! Super friendly people and great pinatas! My son and his friends loved this unique handmade Mario pinata and it was almost too strong! Lasted many hits and a great time was had by all. Everyone at the party loved the ice cream we purchased here as well. Very reasonable prices. We will always come here for pinatas and ice cream in the future. Thank you 🙏“

“Bacio Di Latte is now my go to for good pistachio ice cream. Many pistachio ice creams have that off-putting minty/cherry flavor from almond extract. But not Bacio di latte. It's subtly sweet and creamy from the milk and wonderfully enhanced by the nutty flavor from pistachio. Does melt a little quickly than your normal ice cream, however. :)“

“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 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.“

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

“Phenomenal service and amazing Gelato in the Italian style from Argentina 🇦🇷. Very friendly and welcoming. Lots of places to sit, work, visit. They've even got a back patio with gorgeous umbrellas. Great wifi and also coffee options. Support local and come enjoy some of the best coffee and dessert in LA“

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

“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 !!“

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

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

“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“

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

“la número uno en el valle“

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

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

“If happiness had a temperature, it would be served slightly melting in a paper cup here.
Bright, clean, and effortlessly aesthetic, this spot feels like a little Italian daydream tucked into Santa Monica.
The gelato itself? Silky, rich, and dangerously easy to finish before you’ve even processed your first bite. The strawberry had that real-fruit freshness, not the fake candy vibe, and the pistachio leaned earthy and smooth instead of overly sweet. Portions are generous, textures are chef’s kiss, and the wooden spoon somehow makes it feel fancier than it has any right to be. Only warning: you will think “I’ll just try a few bites” and suddenly the cup is empty and you’re contemplating a second round.“

“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 ✨“

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

“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 :)“

“Very good yogurt Good customer service“

“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.“
