50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Highland Park

“Ice cream was 4 out of 5 stars for my taste. Lack of flavors as well. I just wanted chocolate, but the closest thing was frozen hot coco. Now, the service was phenomenal and coffee I've cream was delicious. I'd love to see a few more simple flavors but that's my 2 cents.“

“The ice cream was very good. I tried one of the most delicious white chocolate raspberry called "love poison 31" a must try. The waffle coffee was good as well. For next time I'll get double scoop with the free waffle coffee. The staff was super friendly.“

“Delicious ice cream, with top quality ingredients! Sizes are bigger than other nearby shops and it even includes toppings!“

“great place for ice cream“

“Definitely Recommend This Place 👌“

“So cool to be appreciated, and have our spirits lifted at KP LAMC Rehab with Pazzo Gelato!“

“best gelati spot I ever found is gelationbrand must try“

“This place is a must stop if you are within an hour’s drive. Fire Bunny is sweet milk drink with creme brûlée topping. And Thai iced tea soft serve served with fresh hot boba?! Yes please!“

“Ordered a small lemon bar ice. Thought $8.50 was a bit pricey for a small. Oh, it's HUGE. It was a meal in and of itself. It was very sweet, and was enough to share with some else really. Would like a smaller size to be available. Hit the spot on a sunny warm afternoon, but I think I'll be skipping supper. 😆“

“absolutely love this place. we come all the way out from West Los Angeles just to get our ice cream fix. thank you guys and I wish you guys eternal success!“

“Ice cream is delicious. I wasn’t expecting sweet and tart at the same time.“

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

“Some of the best ice cream can be found here! I was a bit reluctant at first but after trying a sample of the strawberry ice cream, I was hooked. Got a waffle cone of it and hands down, their waffle cones are the best. It’s the sweet spot of not too soft and not too hard. Best part is the wonderful lady who helped us was extremely friendly. Along with all of this, there is plenty of seating inside and outside. Highly recommend a visit here if you love ice cream!!“

“Vegan, lactose free, gluten free, so yummy!“

“I'm in love with the chocolate chip cookies here they are so delicious I can't explain the level. lol the ice cream is amazing! especially the cookie monster! heavenly delight!“

“A friend recommended this place claiming it’s one of the best ice creams worldwide. I wanted to try, so I ordered child’s size Vegan Belgian Chocolate, Cioccolato Belga, since they added this non-diary version to the menu. OMG and thank you! It’s unbelievable how good it is! So rich and delicious.The guy reaction who was sitting next to us was the same: “it’s really good!”. Go, and try. You can thank me later ?

Vegetarian options: Vegan options are Sorbets and Vegan Belgian Chocolate. Not many but still absolutely worth a try!“

“Was looking for an authentic gelato spot and this is definitely that! They have an amazing array of flavors that are all super creamy. The did a great job with the decor and it is in a nice location! Will definitely be back again many times!“

“Wanna get some yummy ice cream after you’ve had a burger at Amboy? There’s a variety of unique flavors at Scoops, in which I got a red velvet & oreo + vanilla & m&m shake. Probably would recommend having ice cream rather than milkshake because I think you can savor it better. The flavor was sweet and creamy, but in hindsight, I would have chosen just one flavor for the shake.“

“AAAMAZING! The Gooey Butter Cake Ice Cream is to die for!“

“I love eating fresh taiyaki that's hot off the pan! It does take a few minutes for them to make the taiyaki, but it's totally worth it. We ordered custard, Nutella, and red bean. They neatly labeled the flavors on the box so that you know which one is which.

There's some bar seating inside and a small table outside that can seat 4.

Thanks for a great afternoon snack!

Parking: There's a parking lot for the strip mall. It was fairly full when we went on a Sunday afternoon, but we were able to find a spot immediately.“

“Team Swrlies was awesome today at my corporate event. Very professional, handled the crowd with ease and most of all everyone loved loved loved the ice cream and frozen yogurt. If you are thinking of hiring them for your next event, you won’t be sorry. Thank you all again!“

“Salt & Straw offers a one-of-a-kind ice cream experience with bold, creative flavors and top-tier quality. The staff is friendly, the waffle cones are heavenly, and each scoop tells a story. The monthly ice cream series keeps me coming back! October has the best flavors in my opinion, candytopia should be on the menu all year long! Must try ice cream“

“Salt & Straw is an ice cream shop nestled on the iconic Sunset Blvd, in Silver Lake section of LA. This Orgeon based ice cream shop has a modest selection of handmade ice cream flavors. I rarely eat ice cream but today I was compelled due to 90 degree weather. I came and was given a perfunctory melancholic greeting by a young female staff. It was my first time tasting this brand of ice cream; I had a scoop of Coffee & Love Nuts flavor over a waffle cone which cost $8.15 bucks. Its texture was thicc, flavorful and very sweet. I had to drink water afterwards to ease the sweetness.

Service was on point. Staff needs to improve customer service greeting which was non-existent. Prices are okay. Overall, I liked my ice cream but I had better.“

“Born and raised in ELA been coming here since I was a kid and now that I've moved to the IE we still make time to come visit anytime we are in the area... My only complaint is that I believe they have recently changed the chocolate on the dipped cones which is one of my go to choices but this last time we visited the chocolate seemed like plastic and didn't even taste like chocolate 🤷 if you changed the chocolate to maybe save some money please go back, I don't think I'll ever have the dipped cone again if it doesn't go back to the previous chocolate or possibly it was a bad batch 🤷 also please bring back the butterscotch option for dipped cones 🤤otherwise my other option is always a banana split... Either way we will keep coming back for years to come, my kids always make sure to remind me to stop anytime we're in the area rain or shine“

“This ice cream shop is a pop-up (probably permanent pop-up) in The Shops at Santa Anita. I loved the free sample they offered! The server is so generous in offering the samples. The croffle is the best we’ve had for a long time, warm and so yummy. I especially enjoyed the matcha and hojicha, both made with ceremonial-grade tea. The ice cream did not disappoint me either. Totally recommend for sugar craves!“

“TLDR: aesthetic ice cream shop with vegan ice cream that's actually soooo yummy.

ORDER
greenglow matcha, calamansi condensed coconut ripple, saffron pistachio date rosewater, gaviota strawberry

5/5 — ALL ICE CREAM FLAVORS
I had no idea it was vegan until I saw the reviews on here! I recommend pairing the Calamansi with the Matcha—it tastes like a matcha lemonade. Other than that, the ice cream was absolutely amazing.

PARKING
Only street parking in Larchmont, so I wish you all the best.

SERVICE
A long line formed right after we arrived, but we noticed it was moving efficiently while we enjoyed our ice cream.

ATMOSPHERE
All outdoor seating, which is covered. Probably the most aesthetically pleasing architecture for an ice cream shop in LA.“

“Their ice cream are so delicious 😋 We had so much fun and memorable get together with our family who came to visit out of States for the holidays.“

“best ice dessert !!!“

“They served the ice cream right away. The sticky rice mango ice cream was absolutely delicious, and the ube waffle cone was pretty good. The vanilla ice cream was also fantastic. We sampled the flavors before ordering, which helped us choose.

Parking: The parking garage operated by the town is cheap.“

“Went here after going to Descano to see the tulips. Ice cream is different. Everything is Original. You won’t fine their flavors anywhere else. Nightly recommend going if your in the Pasadena area.“

“You don’t stay in business for over 100 years for no reason! As an Alhambra native I have a special place in my heart for certain places that make Alhambra what it is, and this is definitely one of them.
Their flavors are delicious! The price is fair! And the atmosphere is unbeatable!
So many wonderful memories at this iconic ice cream shop, and you can feel that when you’re there.
Some original favorite flavors are green tea, and cookie monster which the kids love! I personally always enjoyed the banana walnut!
If you’re in town it’s definitely one of the top 3 to visit!

Parking: The parking lot is small only fits a few cars. There is free street parking, but depending on the time of day there may not be that many spots.

Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome! They will love it!

Wheelchair accessibility: This location is wheelchair accessible, but can be crowded, it may be good to sit outside for more room.“

“delicious. adorable highly recommend“

“Paradis Ice Cream is a must-visit spot for dessert lovers! The pistachio ice cream was absolutely fantastic—creamy, perfectly nutty, and full of authentic flavor. The coffee espresso flavor was equally impressive, with a bold and fresh taste that stood out. I was also amazed by the variety of flavors available, offering something for everyone.

The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you’re looking for classic flavors or something unique, Paradis delivers. Highly recommend stopping by for a scoop (or two)!“

“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!“

“Sus nieves rikisimas los tostilocos para chuparse los dedos se las recomiendo!“

“After trying to find vegan ice cream/soft serve shops in the area we finally found it!!! Such a nice little spot tucked away in Glendale with outdoor seating in front and in the back. They have so many options and everything is vegan! Can’t wait to go back🔥“

“A really cool and modern ice cream shop with soooo many tasty flavours! They had classic flavours plus original ones too. I got the pumpkin with a waffle cone and it was sooo good! I'd never heard of Van Leeuwen before but now they're on my radar - I'll be looking out for them for sure!“

“Ice cream and vegan ice cream“

“Best cookies I’ve ever had ! Open long hours so easy to get cookies after work or on the weekends. Good customer service. There’s nothing not to like. Yummy“

“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.“

“Lovely people working here. It is the best mango sticky rice but really everything is good especially if you like coconut and pandan. The young coconut crepe cake is my favorite but I usually try something new each time and have never had anything not delicious.“

“This is the go-to late night ice cream spot in the area, iykyk 😉. Great quality ice cream with lots of options and toppings. The design is quite unique, resembling a gas station. It gets very busy at night time because people love coming here to hang out after dinner. Definitely recommend if you get the chance!“

“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!“

“Made a quick stop for ice cream before catching a show at the Pantages Theater. Tried the cookie butter and cookies ’n cream—both were delicious! Even though the location is in a busy area, it wasn’t too crowded, making it a perfect pre-show treat.“

“There’s nothing more impressing than finishing off your day with a nice cup of yogurt mixed in with delicious toppings today decided to get adventurous. I went back to my neighborhood and I said tiny little shop that I’ve been dying to check out as it would turn out I would not regret it he would welcome the next.

I got addicted right away young lady behind the counter. She knew how to read me. She was the peanut butter that I don’t remember a single word she said other than would you like to pay for your medium now?

I had to have vanilla cake pieces and then some mulberries over the top of heaven allow me to sit ambience very historical part of town… Before you come here you need to remember something down

this is a cash less business so bring your card or bring your electronic payment and to remember to if you have any food, allergies to almonds or cashews make sure you tell them when you come in But other than that, you don’t have to worry about any of that.

The only thing you need to worry about is gaining 15 pounds because everything was delicious here and butter.Prana I wanna!!“

“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!“

“This place has been around for as long as I can remember. We've stopped by mostly for their ice creams and drinks but recently hosted a large event and needed two 5-gallon of Agua Frescas. We brought our own vitroleros but they do offer rentals. The flavors we chose were Sandia and Limonada. Our guests LOVED it. I will continue to use their services in the future. Can't wait to try the Mangoneadas Diablitos and shakes!“

“My favorite is the cherry ice cream (beso de angel). But they don't just sell ice cream. They serve fresh drinks, the Maracuyá (passion fruit) is super delicious…!!! They also have delicious sandwiches, many Mexican snacks and above all excellent service!! 100%recommended..!!!“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing ice cream 🍨“
