50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Hawthorne

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“I rushed there after work and so did many others. We were looking for Olivia’s Guts Tour cookie. I picked up a dozen of the weekly assortment including four of Olivias cookies. These cookies are delicious and huge! You order from the self-serv kiosk, it was difficult to only order 12 and in what combination. As you wait for your order to get filled, you see the employees busy working to fill the orders in a clean, orderly bake shop. The aroma was delightful and not too sweet. The decor is minimal with an open layout, so you can wee all the delicious cookies. This location has plenty of parking in the strip mall.“

“excelente sabor customer service muy bueno localizacion sercas a mi casa se los recomiendo“

“Absolutely amazing people. very friendly faces and outstanding ice cream!!! Thank you guys for a great experience.“

“Huge selection, super reasonably priced, tasty Mexican nostalgia.

I'm going back to try more. They have a huge variety of paletas, ice creams, sorbets, as well as various Mexican candies.

I tried the following:

Gansito ice cream - ice cream with chunks of gansitos. This made my dreams come true! For those of you who aren't familiar with Mexican treats, a Gansito is sort of like the Mexican version of the twinkie dipped in chocolate and with a jelly filling.

Cajeta - Super deliciously sweet.

Fruity pebbles - cereal milk flavored ice cream with fruity pebbles mixed in.“

“AMAZING service !!! i wish i lived closer id be there every single day 😍😍“

“So, so good. Excellent customer service, great ice cream flavors, and to top it off it was delicious. They let you mix and match flavors which allowed me to walk out with a bit of every flavor I wanted which is great! Also, the pricing here is really good which makes it a no brainer. If you're craving good ice cream, this is the spot.“

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

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

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

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“A cool dessert spot in Sawtelle. It seems it can become very crowded, I was a bit surprised by the long line.

I had not been here in a very long time.

It seemed pretty similar to before. I like this spot, it’s nice place to get a taiyaki with a bit more sweet.

There is no seating inside. Wait time can be long when the line is long. And, parking can be tricky.
But besides that it’s a nice place to try for something different than your regular ice cream place.“

“Delicious and creamy gelato. I got the dark chocolate and pistachio scoops on a pistachio filled waffle bowl. The gelato wasn't too sweet and the staff let us try a lot of different flavors. I really liked the hazelnut flavor too. Hit the spot after a ramen dinner.“

“Honeymee is soooo cool everyone should visit a honeymee once in their life these literally need to be on every corner of ever block of every city of every country in the world. The brown sugar boba ice cream was really good everyone should try it I've never tried ice cream with boba before but this was really good because it's like the cold ice cream and the warm boba balls mmmm mmmm mmmm so yummy 😋😋😋. The inside was really nice too with a good amount of seating and chill vibes ✌️✌️✌️😁😁. There was also a cool photo booth thing inside it was a little expensive but if you're into that it's there. I went on a Friday night and it was pretty busy but the service was great and quick and I got my ice cream really fast 🤩🤩🥳🥳. The bathroom was also pretty spacious and had a table right next to the toilet in case you wanted to do some work in there I guess idk. There's not another chair though so don't plan on holding any meetings in there. However there's pretty good seating outside if you want to do that.“

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

“What a great ice cream shop! This chain is well known for their distinctive selection of mouthwatering flavors. This relatively new location conveniently located in the heart of Manhattan Beach is a great addition to town, and definitely worth checking out. Make sure to ask for samples!

Parking: Try parking in the civic center lot or at the other nearby lots and garages, street parking is nearly impossible to find.“

“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!“

“Amazing ice cream! Some of the best I’ve ever had. The worker was so kind and patient explaining the different options and helped me decide which pastry to get for my kid who had a complicated sensitivity to dairy. Would go here again even though I felt the price was a bit much. Not much space for dine in. Gave samples of ice cream.“

“best ice dessert !!!“

“This gem has been here over 30 years! I use to come here with my sisters/ friends in the neighborhood as kids! Everything is still DELICIOUS AND TOP TIER! So glad to still have this place standing strong in the community! The young lady with the braids is a sweetheart. Very professional!“

“So delicious!! Service was fun and excellent! Whatever ingredients are used to make the ice cream is fantastic! I felt great after, no bloating at all. Why would I add that, you may wonder?? I'm a BIT lactose intolerant and just couldn't resist when walking by!!??‍♀️ I was completely fine after having the entire cup. THAT'S A HUGE DEAL and shows how great they are.“

“buen servicio atenticion y calidad del Productos todos los empleados son 5 Estrellas bonito lugar“

“Friendly staff and delicious frozen treats. The waffle cones pair great with any flavor, but if that's too messy for you, just get it in a cup. The seasonal flavors don't always hit, but the year-round flavors are always great. Coffee and love nuts for the win!“

“We come almost once a week but this week had Gabby help us and she is a STAR! She literally brightened our whole day and we’re really grateful for her service and kindness. Thought that should be celebrated so sharing how incredible she is here :)“

“I love this place I would travel so far just to try the cookies every week as they change flavors. It’s so exciting you have to try this place. Specially, in Inglewood the energy is so cool.“

“I really give out 5 stars but when I do it is well worth it this little place on La Brea is a family favorite where you can still get Old fashioned ice cream ??? still have burgers that come off the grill and have that off the grill smell I can go on and on but I don't want to ruin the experience for you all I can say is go here with your family or with a girl for a cheap date and you will have a blast let's face it who doesn't love Foster's freeze “

“Delicious ice cream. The servings are large - a small scoop feels like 2 scoops. They have a cute outdoor area to sit but the interior is odd. Blaring bright lights in a commercial kitchen environment. Employees are dishing out ice cream in an assembly line fashion. It’s actually a very large shop set up to handle a large volume. Salty caramel truffle is my fave.“

“I was introduced to La Michoacana about a year ago and I’ve been going back ever since. I’m always greeted with a smile and the selection is amazing. My favorite is the Mangoneada. This place always has parking, is clean and there’s always a table to sit and enjoy.“

“absolutely delicious burgers and sauce. the customer service and people working there where really nice and great people“

“We might be Jeni’s playa vista’s #1 customers… so I want to say this review is based on a significant number of visits. This is to say that hands down, LP is the best Jeni’s rep we’ve gotten to know. He remembers our name and our order and always makes us feel welcome at the store. Thank you to the whole team and especially LP!“

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“grwat customer service. their frozen yogurts are so good.“

“Although I wouldn't call myself an ice cream connoisseur, McConnell's has won me over, particularly their chocolate variant ( named chocolate chocolate chocolate!). Hailing from Santa Barbara, they've expanded to several Southern California locations. Plus, they offer pints for sale if you're looking to bring a taste of their delicious ice cream home.“

“best strawberry ice cream“

“Stopped by here with my brother, his wife and my nephew after eat Japanese curry nearby. I got the Italian ice. While it's no where near as good as Joes Italian Ice. It hit the spot. I recommend this spot if you crave Italian ice but lazy to drive to Joe's in Anaheim.“

“Came here with a group of 5 and tasted the tofu donuts and the matcha soft serve!

Good:
- Tofu donut was super unique, I couldn't tell that it was tofu
- The soft serve was amazing- so creamy and not too sweet, and the serving size was large enough for 2 people to share or maybe even 3!

Bad:
- Long lines! Super popular place so you'll wait about 10 min for your order outside and there's limited seating

Overall this was a fun hole in the wall gem to find!“

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

“Small mom and pop shop with traditional and unique flavors. Today was our first time and we had the Mexican Hot Chocolate (smooth and delicious!), Strawberry Pie (more fruity and delicious) and Mint Oreo (Lots of Oreos and delicious). You can taste the ice cream is fresh and made with real ingredients. Get it in a cone! Will definitely be back!“

“Tried their honey affogato and it was pretty good! even though it had honey it wasn’t too overly sweet so that was great, the coffee wasn’t bitter either so i would definitely recommend it, the place has tables to sit around and it’s pretty comfortable and the staff is very sweet, it also has a photobooth if you are looking for one in the little tokyo area, the only downside like every other place in little tokyo is the bathroom situation!“

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

“If I’m in the mood for shaved ice it’s blue Hawaii and condensed milk. For ice cream birthday cake forsureee! Love wanna chill ❤️“

“What a great ice cream shop. They have the most creative flavours that taste great. The service was fantastic from the man working there and you can even have free samples to ensure you like your flavour before committing to a flavour. We had the miso caramel toffee ice cream which was smooth and of great quality. Prices are very reasonable too! Amazing ice cream shop!“

“Great food and good ice cream 🍦“

“Being from Germany and craving some delicious “Spaghettieis” this was a 10/ 10 experience. Thank you! War super lecker. ☺️“

“Absolutely amazing ice cream 🍨“
