50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Harbor City

“I love this location besides frozen yogurt they have a variety of other options that you can pick from. It’s very economical compared to big brand frozen yogurt chains. We got three frozen yogurt with three toppings each along with an açai bowl and it came to be under $20. The lady was very professional and nice. We will be returning again. Great customer service. Thank you“

“I wanted an afternoon treat with fruit & decided to pop in. They let me try without even asking 5-6 flavors. I thought my choice of ice cream would be sugary, but it was tasty. Next time I come in I will get one of the gelato flavors, or a fruit cup or even a smoothie. There was an abundance of flavors. All were really great quality ice cream and gelato’s. They were even savory snack choices. Great for kids after school, families, couples, etc. There was plenty of inside seating. The parking lot was small however, there were spots available. Great for a pick me up. They speak English in Spanish.Go in and try!!“

“I had a good experience at Baskin-Robbins.
They had plenty of parking
spaces. I didn't have a problem finding a parking space.
I have been to several Baskin-Robbins shops, but this location offered the best interior. They had nice
dining tables. And they had an outdoor dining area.
This Baskin-Robbins shop was clean, organized, and well-maintained.
I got 2 scoops of ice cream
which were strawberry and vanilla flavor.
The strawberry ice cream
had real strawberries.
It was an amazing taste!
It was a refreshing & fruity flavor.
And the vanilla ice cream was very tasty. It was rich and creamy.
This shop's price was a little higher than other Baskin-Robbins shops.
Today, it was a hot scorching day so I went to the outside dining area. It was cool and
I enjoyed sitting
outside and enjoying my tasty ice cream.
I think that this location Baskin-Robbins shop is the
best ice-cream shop.
They offer great customer service, amazing-tasting ice cream, and a nice outdoor
dining area.
I would like to recommend this Baskin-Robbins shop.“

“Owners are very nice. Delicious homemade ice cream. Flavors change and they’re adding new products.“

“Getting their ice cream truck at our office backyard and it’s warm sunny day so perfect timing! Plenty of flavors to choose from, which was basically different mix-ins blended with the vanilla soft serve base. They did offer chocolate one.

I went for the Hokey Pokey as I loved honeycomb and simply couldn’t resist that crunchy toppings! The order’s ready in a blink and there were several attendants serving at the same time so despite all of us tried to be there at similar time, we got our ice cream quickly!

I love how it looked simple and not too much ingredients mixed yet it’s simply palatable!“

“Heritage Restaurant, Long Beach – A Well-Earned Michelin Star by Michael Broderick. In a city where “Californian” culinary ambition often plays second fiddle to casual dining, Heritage in Long Beach has carved out a place of quiet excellence, earning a well-deserved Michelin star. This intimate dining experience is a testament to ingredient-driven, technique-forward cooking, where flavors are both restrained, unpretentious, and deeply expressive. From the first bite, it was clear that Heritage excels at layering textures and flavors in unexpected ways. The meal began with an Amuse Bouche trio: a delicate prawn cracker topped with sweet Dungeness crab, a green leaf with another seafood salad that was to be eaten like a mini street taco, and balanced with the brightness and light crunch of pickled turnip. A seemingly simple couple of bites, but one that foreshadowed the precision and thoughtfulness of the courses to follow. To cleanse the palate, a mint tea infused with palo santo was served—a meditative interlude that was both refreshing and aromatic, setting the stage for the evening’s journey. The first official course, Crème Caviar, featured Russian Sturgeon Heritage Caviar and chive, a chilled preparation that was rich yet elegantly restrained. This was followed by Kanpachi Crudo, presented with carrot, ginger, and macédoine vegetables, offering a balance of clean ocean flavors against bright, vegetal undertones. Then came what I consider the star of the evening: a dish that fully captured the ethos of Heritage—Hen of the Woods Mushroom, topped in a “sunchoke stew” (crispy fried sunchoke) with fermented mushroom. For an additional $25, an indulgent shaving of black truffle took the dish to another level, transforming it into a sensory experience that evoked the deep, earthy satisfaction of foraging. The interplay of umami-rich elements made this course a masterpiece of textural and flavor contrast. The proteins that followed were executed with equal care. First, a perfectly prepared Rainbow Trout, sauted to perfection with a crispy layer of skin on one side, delicate pink flesh on the other, bathed in a delicate dashi and punctuated with bursts of smoked trout roe in a light creme sauce, which lent salinity and depth. Then, a 32-day dry-aged rib chop, a cut that can sometimes lean too “gamey” in the tradiinal steak house that cuts corners on a post aging trim, yet here was a revelation—tender, deeply beefy, but balanced. Accompanying the dish was sous vide endive, black garlic, and a shaving of Parmesan, which surprisingly lacked the usual sharpness, instead presenting a more rounded, delicate, nutty flavor. Desserts were a study in technique and balance. The first, a Grilled Strawberry with strawberry granita and Meyer lemon crème, was bright and refreshing, its layers revealing different expressions of cool and sweetness. Then came the Coco Craquelin, a delicate choux pastry filled with beurre noisette ganache and banana cremeux, meant to be eaten with the hands—a playful and interactive moment in the meal. Finally, a Sage Basque Cake, its subtle herbaceousness complemented by toasted hemp seeds and lemon curd, provided a grounding, crispy finish. Heritage is the kind of restaurant that doesn’t simply chase trends—it refines them into something personal, something intentional. The execution is confident but never showy, and the experience is paced with precision, allowing each dish to tell its own story. This is not just a meal—it’s a quiet, profound meditation on flavor, technique, and the land from which it all comes. Where other restaurant profess to be a true “Californian” style farm to table experience , Heritage is, without a doubt, a must-visit for anyone who seeks out truly exceptional dining in California.“

“Authentic Italian Gelato with many vegan options. Specialty coffee and fresh baked croissants.“

“Owner is extremely kind and offers the best suggestions !
All the ice cream flavors are not too sweet and extremely flavorful. He also said that they use whole ingredients for the flavors.

Love love loveeee the durian one“

“Friendly, family-owned neighborhood delight. Everything from the gelato to the cannoli to the tiramisu is authentic and delicious. They now have food items, so you can go there for lunch or dinner, or as always it's a fantastic place to stop after dinner downtown (or any other time, as my daughter correctly insists) so save a bit of room for dessert.

I didn't see my favorite coffee flavored gelato in the display freezer last time, so I asked about it and found out they keep other flavors in the back freezer, so if you don't see what you want, just ask.“

“Ken’s, is the best ice cream in the world! I think the loving attitude used to scoop it up, makes it extremely special! My grandkids started my journey with Ken’s, years ago. My oldest grandson is now 25 and the baby is 16. Whenever there is ice cream wanted in my house and they are around, it’s a trip to Ken’s! Watching it pass from one generation to another, has been a great thing for our community! One trip to Ken’s and you are hooked for life! I love the ice cream, and the beautiful spirit, of the people scooping it up! Nadine Gills-Ward, a loyal customer“

“Best ice cream. Very popular and lots of people there but service is pretty quick. Banana Cream Pie is my favorite!“

“We had the good fortune of stumbling across Moom Maam gelato when deciding on someone to cater our company's summer event. The flavors were delicious and many were options that you really can't find anywhere else. Their homemade waffle crisp was a surprise hit as well (and gluten free!), and with several vegan options, they were a caterer that truly could have a little something for people regardless of diet restrictions. And despite the whopping number of flavors they brought (15!!) the lines moved along at a good clip--managing to serve hundreds within 2 hours--and the portions were generous.“

“Caramel flavor for the win! And the butter cake was so good. Great CS“

“Great food and good ice cream 🍦“

“Cute little shop in a busy shopping plaza. Parking can be tough, especially weekend or evening. Friendly service and fast turnaround since not beeesy.
Got Honey Affogato & Iced Honey Tea.
Both are delish, especially the ice cream with coffee and honey...soo tasty and delicious.“

“Bombbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb“

“I want to handel's for my very first time today. I was very impressed with all the yummy flavors but more impressed with Chris and the customer service I received. Being that it was my first time there I had alot of questions about the variety of cones and all the different flavors and what was in each ice-cream. Chris was so patient and continue to smile as he answered all my questions and let me sample a couple flavors. Chris is really an asset to Handel's.“

“Taste special and the color is pretty earth“

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“We stopped by Golden Scoop Gelato after a quick stroll along the PV coast and honestly didn’t expect it to hit this hard. Total gem. Easily some of the best gelato (and ice cream in general) we’ve had in the area. We tried a bunch of things: tiramisu gelato, strawberry cream gelato, pistachio gelato, a strawberry matcha latte, a gelato-topped croffle, and the Nutella berry croffle. Everything was solid, but a couple standouts for sure. My daughter loved the strawberry cream gelato, super smooth and not overly sweet. The pistachio was legit too, actually tasted like pistachio and not just sugar. My favorite was the gelato-topped croffle (croissant + waffle combo) with tiramisu gelato on top. So good. Warm, crispy croffle with the cold gelato worked perfectly. The Nutella berry croffle was also a win. Don’t sleep on the drinks either. My wife really enjoyed the strawberry matcha latte, balanced and not too heavy. Great spot to end a walk by the coast. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Tried the new ice cream flavor! It has a subtle hint of jasmine tea with a perfect overall balance, and it's not overly sweet, which I loved. Got it in a waffle cone for a change, and it was so thick, crispy, and satisfyingly crunchy. 🍦“

“NO MEMBERSHIP FEE TO JOIN ILLUMINATI), I promised Jackson Peter that I am going to share my testimony on how he finally helped me to join to Great Illuminati brotherhood, I was deeply strangled up by“

“There was a lot of really great options for ice cream, including the make your own ice cream sandwich. I would highly recommend that if you do go with the sandwich that you have them make it fresh and not grab one from the case. It’s really close to the pier so you can grab one and head down to the pier for sunset or just hang out in the same area and enjoy the ice cream and people watch.“

Cristina did a great job making bionico (fruit mix), very friendly and attentive. I passed by to have a taste and got hooked since then. Visit them almost on daily basis.“

“Heck yeah this little place rocks! I was down at the Grand Prix race with my girlfriend and we needed to escape the crowds. Walking just a few feet out down this boardwalk and it's like freedom. Gets away from the noise in the crowds. Also those nasty food trucks. So what kind of tasty treat did we want to get? We got a triple flavor triple scoop banana sundae and it was absolutely the best Sunday I've ever had in my life! The kid behind the counter put mad work into it. Dude made the thing perfectly, like picture perfect, and it tasted like heaven. The flavors on the ice cream was fabulous really good stuff. What a great little shop for ice cream and treats. Sitting peacefully outside in the sunshine and watching the boats in the harbor is also a treat. Great experience all around Come check this place out if you're looking for a fabulous dessert.“

“Do you enjoy real homemade ice cream I mean the Mexican paletas but also the scooped ice cream everything made in the house so many flavors to choose from.And they're nice enough to let you sample as many times as you like. Always great to take a quart home. Once you've tried it other places are mediocre we're talking homemade ice cream made in-house not months ago days ago at the least.“

“The guys that work there are really nice and helpful“

“Marsha was incredible. We were looking for someone who could provide all the dessert for our wedding, bring us something other than a traditional wedding cake experience, and also bring some extra flair to our big day. Marsha did all that and more. Our cake table was decorated so beautifully! She made the most delicious cupcakes of all different flavors for our guests to enjoy. She even made an ADORABLE cake topper for us that everyone raved about. In addition, Marsha made us a gorgeous, delicious, moist 3 layer cake , and she even was able to bring a ROLLED ICE cart too! People could not get over how cool it was to have rolled ice cream at our wedding, especially because Marsha had extra cupcakes to put in with the ice cream. She was so collaborative, easy to work with, and fun. Everything we asked her to do, she accommodate, often gently giving her sage advice along the way. We could not possibly recommend Marsha any higher than we do. She is absolutely incredible and soooo many people raved about their experience with her at our wedding. 10/10 for everything!!“

“This place has become our favorite, the flavors and texture of its products are excellent quality. The service of its excellent employees treat you with respect and give you your time to choose the flavor and answer your questions 100% satisfaction.“

“For a small shop there is a lot of snacks along with a menu to view at what's offered. Some problems the place has is that its hidden within the street so it's easy to pass by it without knowing what's inside. Final problem is one lady makes and takes orders which is time consuming so a big order may take a long time depending how many are ordering.“

“I feel bad for the one and only employee working there today who's coworker left her with no cookies baked and unable to fulfill the orders. She did the best she could and was apologetic and explained the lack of product. Need to have more than one person running a store like this.“

“Had a great time learning about their locally sourced flavors and fresh ingredients to make their local craft ice cream. The staff working were super energetic and friendly. Had a wonderful time and look forward to coming again.“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“Absolutely impeccable. The service is astounding. The ice cream is unique and phenomenal. Everything is done to excellence here. The owners really thought of a lot. Especially love how thoughtful they've been to train their staff to ask about specific allergies or dietary considerations with corresponding flavor taste tests and their tasting trio/quadruple options!! I cannot recommend it enough. So happy I tried it!! Not easily forgotten.“

“Went too FrenchTouch today in DEL AMO Mall !!!!!! Stop whatever you're doing and please come by! If you have never visited you are only missing out on the most delicious crepes ever made.
