50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Hawthorne

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Best gelato and coffee in America“

“Delicious and unique flavors“

“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!“

“Goat Cheese and Black Olives ice cream was delicious. The service was exceptional and the customer service provided by EVERY SINGLE ONE of their ice cream parlor workers was outstanding. You wont go wrong visiting the Abbot Kinney location.“

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

“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. 😊“

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

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

“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“

“Pink rose ice cream for the win!!!“

“The best ❣️ Their vegan flavors are great“

“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“

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

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

“Tried this place tonight for the first time and it was BOMB. I got a chili cheese dog and a single scoop of butter pecan. The ice cream literally survived a 30 minute drive home, no melting. Must be using top notch ingredients for that! This place may just be my new obsession 🤩“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and good ice cream 🍦“

“i have been going there since i was like 9 and now i take my kids. we live in Idaho now but whenever we go to California we have to stop here for their amazing burgers!! great friendly customer service“

“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.“

“best ice dessert !!!“

“PROTEIN SHAKES I REPEAT PROTEIN SHAKES!! There’s no place around like this one! Humble spot , Cheap compara to Jamba Juice or any other smoothie place! Reasonable prices and there’s never a line ! All flavors you think or want to mix with your protein powder !“

“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“

“Taste special and the color is pretty earth“

“todo muy rrico me encanta el agua de fresa y la mangoniada“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 🍦“

“I’ve loved Foster Freeze since I was a teenager and I’ve been coming here for years. Nothing has changed — it’s still the same delicious recipe I remember! I love that they’re open late, so you can go even when it’s cold outside. My favorite is the pineapple shake — it’s amazing! Their ice cream is perfect, especially on a hot day. This place is a classic and always hits the spot“

“Stopped by All Chill, the Hip Hop Ice Cream Shop today. Had a scoop of Rose Liqueur and Cherry Vanilla. Both are to die for...huge whole black cherries and the flavor of blessed rose...yum!“

“The only place in the USA known to me to have authentic Italian ice cream. It's super delicious!!“

“I can't get enough of this ice cream shop! They have so many unique flavors and the quality is top-notch. Every scoop I’ve tried has been delicious, and the atmosphere is perfect for chilling out with friends. Definitely a must-visit!“

“Lots of novel concepts here with some very good ice cream. We got the jamz, which is basically an ice cream sandwich between two slices of cake instead of cookies. We chose butter pecan and the chocolate cake with some condensed milk. It was nice, but I would such with just enjoying the ice cream.“

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

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“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.“

“Very good ice cream with lots of flavor selections.

We stopped in after dinner and it was cooler outside so we didn’t have a line. 😎 They had several interesting flavors and I tried banana salted caramel on a waffle cone. Very tasty indeed.“

“We stopped by Bumsan Organic Milk Bar after having a meal in Little Tokyo, and it felt like the perfect place for dessert. This organic ice cream shop originated in Korea, and you can definitely taste the difference.
The ice cream is clean, smooth, and well-balanced, with just the right level of sweetness that really lets the milk flavor shine. It has a subtle but distinct character that feels different from typical American ice cream—lighter, more refined, and very pleasant.
We ordered the ice cream with waffles, and pairing the two together made it even better. The combination added warmth and texture, making the dessert feel more complete and satisfying.
If you’re in Little Tokyo and looking for a not-too-sweet, high-quality dessert to finish your meal, this is a great spot to check out.“

“best strawberry ice cream“

“whenever someone visiting asks me where a good matcha place is, i always recommend tea master! i love all of their matcha offerings, and i especially love coming here for dessert after a meal and getting the matcha soft serve. service is friendly and efficient.“

“They have amazing ice cream flavors. I've never been to an ice cream shop with all these filipno flavors. We would definitely come back.“
