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!“

“One of my favorite ice cream places was Ici’s in Berkeley but it suddenly closed a few years ago. I’ve been looking for a place to fill that void and perhaps find closure. Well, I found closure and a new magical ice cream experience in Sunset Blvd. Eating their ice cream for the first time felt like that scene in the film Ratatouille where the food critic takes a bite and flashes back to his childhood.

I live 6 hours away, but always make sure to stop by when I’m visiting. I was going to give up ice cream for lent, but knew I wouldn’t be strong enough to skip Fluffy McCloud’s! Already looking forward to my next visit!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“Ice Cream is always so good here. Prompt service, very nice employees. Their waffle bowl could be a little more flavorful but that’s a personal preference. Got their hot fudge sundae waffle bowl with banana cream pie and vanilla ice creams and ate every bit. Definitely recommend a stop here“

“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!“

“Bacio di Latte is becoming a fast growing chain with a few stores opened in LA and in a few other cities across California.

But don’t get me wrong, although they have expanded, their ice cream are staying absolutely delicious. My personal favorite is the Belgian chocolate one. You can try it in a regular cup, or get some Nutella or pistachio cream added to it for even more flavor.

This location offers a few sitting area both indoor and outdoor. You will need to find to park on San Vicente boulevard or in the surrounding street.“

“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!“

“Ice cream and vegan ice cream“

“We absolutely loved Swrlies! They offered such a fun and delicious variety of frozen yogurt options—our team thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The service was prompt, professional, and a true pleasure to work with. We’re already looking forward to having Swrlies at our next company event!“

“Taiyaki and ice cream, a truly delicious match. This is a pretty small business, so sometimes it felt claustrophobic inside when it got busy. Compared to Somi Somi, the ice cream isn't as good, but I like this taiyaki slightly better. I do appreciate that the toppings are self-serve.“

“I came here to say, I have never heard of this brand before but last night while shopping at my local Jay C (kroger), I stumbled across the Gluten free Gooey Butter cake ice cream and i’m so very glad I did!!! it’s delicious!!!! It’s not often us Gf people get to have cake and I actually don’t care for ice cream. I rarely eat it but that has all changed thanks to Jeni’s. I love it so much I might have ate half of it in one sitting….we listen and we don’t judge 😝. A+++++++++. Please don’t stop making this!“

“Wow, wow and wow. Went to Salt & Straw for the second time ever, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The flavours on offer were so delicious, and I wish I could live in this place. Huge shout out to Kelly, who served us and was SO kind and smiley and just truly made my day. I will be back with haste.“

“delicious. adorable highly recommend“

“Sweet girl working the booth and providing excellent service. The soft serve here is absolutely delicious and always hits the spot, and the prices are very reasonable. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, but the tasty treats make it worth it!“

“I’ve had ice cream/gelato/granita/dondurma and a pile of other frozen desserts on 6 continents. This is my absolute favorite on the planet. While I never order strawberry anywhere else, here it is so full of fresh strawberry flavor that I never pass it up (and this flavor is dairy-free, you’d never know!). All the flavors are fresh and delicious but my favorites are the strawberry, banana sundae, Dubai chocolate and ashta.“

“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!“

“This is my first time at salt and straw and it was so good ! What was even better was the customer service. They let me try whatever I wanted and never made me feel rushed. It’s so hard to find service like this and whoever trained these employees is doing the damn thing! 10/10 would recommend, and while your there, grab a waffle cone! They’re fresh!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I had a banana split with 3 different flavors of ice cream it was so yummy fresh ice cream I live in west Covina I'd drive to fosselmans just to have an ice cream“

“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.“

“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.“

“best ice dessert !!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Try for Everyone!

This small business is an absolute gem! Their health-conscious ice cream is not only delicious but made with care and intention — perfect for anyone looking to indulge without the guilt. The owner is amazing — warm, welcoming, and truly passionate about what they do. The space itself is lovely, cozy, and inviting — a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Everyone needs to try this spot — it’s a feel-good experience from start to finish!“

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

“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“

“This shop has so many yummy items. Some are snacks from Thailand while others they make fresh in house. I can't get enough of the bbq pork skewers that they put out around lunch time. Another favor is the coconut jelly. There are a lot of desserts I'm not familiar with so I like trying them all. Nothing disappoints if you're a fan of coconut.“

“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!“

“First time coming to this place and let me say that whoever thought of putting an ice cream shop next to a pizzeria is a genius! Anyways I tried the Chocolate Gooey Brownie and the Salted, Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Out of the 2 I would get the Salted,Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough again. The Chocolate Gooey Brownie is very choclatey and a bit boring. Salted, Malted is the way to go along with a waffle cone. Prices are reasonable, portions are fine, good ice cream but I probably would pick other spots just because of their variety. Overall I would definitely recommend this place and would come back.“

“Hello Gelato stands out among the many frozen sweet shops in Old Town Pasadena. The flavors taste exactly like they're supposed to, rich and delicious. The texture is dense and smooth. I like chocolate and mint chip, and my husband swears by the stracciatelli. Bonus: you'll often meet the owner himself scooping behind the counter. A great little local business!“

“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.“

“It's one of my favorite locations of Afters. This place has nice decor outside. It's all outdoor seating. You walk up to the window and there's a person there to take your order. This location only takes credit card and tap (Apple/ Google pay). No cash.

There are a lot of good flavors, but I prefer the Ube brownie. I have yet to try their sweet bun. I like the waffle cone, but just like any waffle cone, they're messy to eat because they leak at the bottom. I'm not sure if they charge, but I saw a few people ask for an additional cup with their regular cake cone.

When we arrived there wasn't a line, but there was after we ordered. Lol. Thank goodness we got there before the wave of people came. Lots of parking around the place also.“

“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!“

“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..!!!“

“Pistachio ice cream is one of the best I've had. It has the right amount of cream to nut ratio. The flan is also one of the best I've had because it has a thicker consistency. Every other flan has a more watery texture, whereas this one is more dense and high quality.“

“authentic real ice cream, made in house and love the unique flavors 😋“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“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!“

“Love their ice cream, aguas frescas and especially their crepes 😋😋😋😋“

“Absolutely amazing ice cream 🍨“
