“This is some amazing Gelato! Small, but mighty type vibes. We were welcomed in with great vibes . This local mom and pop shop has some Gelato shipped in from Italy and it tastes like it. Really enjoyed their hazelnut and pistachio flavors. Def a great try!“

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

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

“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.“

“Definitely Recommend This Place 👌“

“Best vegan ice cream in LA period. Really unlike anything else not only in LA but the rest of the country.. Super rich decadent and dense Indonesian coconut milk based flavors from heaven. Really a masterclass in culinary innovation. Passionfruit and Blue Yuzu are some of my favorites lately. But you really cant go wrong with any flavor they serve.. 3 locations as of now: Weho, Venice and Larchmont but West Hollywood is the best.“

“Delicious and unique flavors“

“Seaport, Boston location. Staff MADE SURE I was picking the flavor that I really wanted. They wanted me to feel like a welcome tourist. Mission Accomplished.“

“Do you run in the non-dairy lane and are tired of the same old-same old flavors? Of being looked down on as a tiresome afterthought at most ice cream shops? Then Scoops is your Valhalla, a veritable Mt Olympus of flavor combinations. At least 2 non-dairy choices + a sorbet and it won’t be the same as you bought last week or the week before that. Also, it’s the least snobby creamery in LA.“

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

“Hands down they are the THE BEST!! We hosted a teacher appreciation event for a local school & the ice cream truck was a HUGE hit! So impressed with the customer service and we love supporting small business like them! Thank you!“

“Fell in love with each and every bite of my crêpe. NomZ 😋“

“Had it yesterday, hands down best Ice cream I had, the hurricane is great, if you love pistachio ice cream this is the place, not to sweet, my kid loved the smores ice cream and got ice cream specially made for a dog. Will definitely go back.“

“I wish I got his name, but the gentleman who was working on Monday night was really nice. My wife and I appreciated his friendly demeanor and personality. I happened to want to try the three flavors that had just come in the past two days. I ended up getting the strawberry yuzu cheesecake scoop which was excellent with the tart yuzu balancing out the sweet strawberry and rich cheesecake. That said the sour cream blueberry donut and sweet corn and blueberry flavors were also great.“

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

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

“Tried the crepe rolls at Roll Cafe today and they were absolutely delicious! You can tell a lot of care goes into the food, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Maria and Isabel were both so friendly and welcoming — they made the whole experience even better. Excited to have this new spot around and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“If you haven’t been to Bacio di Latte yet, consider this your sign to go immediately!
It was our very first time visiting, and the staff could not have been more amazing. The moment we mentioned it was our first visit, they completely showered us with kindness and the most welcoming, positive vibes. They were open to us trying out different flavors!
And oh my goodness... the gelato is absolutely spectacular! The taste is incredibly rich, authentic, and high-quality. Every single scoop was amazing.
Between the exceptional hospitality and the delicious treats, this has officially become a must-try place for us. We will absolutely be back for more!“

“Pink rose ice cream for the win!!!“

“The best ❣️ Their vegan flavors are great“

“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. 😊“

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

“I came to this spot by accident, yes you heard me. I was looking for another ice cream shop and ran across this one. I purchased a double scoop to go. I scoop of vanilla and and one scoop of praline pecan ice cream in a cup survive the ride home. Once inside the house, that ice cream didn't stand a chance. It didn't have that frost bitten taste that you experience from store bought ice cream. I will try again and I recommend going there.“

“Ice cream and vegan ice cream“

“Shout-out to the team at Salt & Straw.

I’m usually a creature of habit here. I know what I’m getting before I even arrive. I’ll sample the seasonal and the oddball flavors for fun, but nine times out of ten, I end up right where the tourists do. Honey Lavender on a sugar cone. Locked in. No notes.

This visit, I was sampling as usual when a team member offered me a flavor and thoughtfully let me know it contained trace amounts of alcohol. I appreciated the heads-up. I took the sample, said “thank you, that’s fine,” then jokingly added that I was only 92 days sober and chuckled. The look on her face was of nervousness. I immediately told her it was a joke, and she carried on with assisting me.

In hindsight, I felt a little bad for putting her in that moment, but what stood out was how professionally and kindly she handled it. She stayed composed, respectful, and warm the entire time.

That kind of response says a lot, not just about her, but about the team culture at this location.

Sampling here always feels welcoming, never rushed, never awkward, even when customers deliberately make things… momentarily awkward.

Consistent quality, great energy, and a team that clearly knows how to handle people with care. Much appreciated 🍦👑“

“very good.. and it's right next to Joe's Pizza 😋“

“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.“

“We had the pleasure of hiring the Swrlies team for a couple’s wedding, and we have to say—they stole the party as soon as they arrived!

Their frozen yogurt is delicious. You can really taste the craftsmanship in it. It was a hit with both kids and adults.

The setup was beautiful, professional, and well put together (see picture).

As a vendor, Yardley is extremely communicative and proactive. He has a great personality, charisma, and—most importantly—professionalism.

We definitely recommend them for any kind of event!“

“I got a scoop of smores and oreo, in a cup - delicious and a perfect portion!

6/13 Just adding another 5 star experience! The coffee chocolate chip and affogato were delicious! Customer service is always on point - they’re so kind!“

“First time here, loved the ice cream!

It tasted better than other ice creams I've had. I ordered the pistachio and praline ice cream scoops on a waffle cup. The pistachio nuts were so good! Overall, I was impressed with the quality of the ice cream. It tasted more authentic than the other places I've been to. Customer service was good too.

They had outdoor seating but it was too hot so I enjoyed my ice cream in my car with the A/C on.“

“Best handmade ice cream ever!!!! Love the Taro and Ferrero Roche ice cream“

“Artisanal ice cream. Very good.“

“My kids and I came out on vacation four years ago and found Leeuwen in West Hollywood. We ended up going for dessert every evening, so on our return trip recently we had to stop in

Glad to see that customer service has remained exceptional and the ice cream delicious !“

“Love that this place is open until 11pm. We were able to grab a treat after a show nearby at the Troubadour.

My party had gooey brownie, strawberry and salted caramel scoops. The waffle cones were delicious. Service was prompt and attentive. Seating area is located outside.

toppings are on offer with your scoops.

The taste is very creamy and smooth and rich.

Give this place a try if you are in search of a sweet treat, you will not be disappointed.“

“delicious. adorable highly recommend“

“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 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.“

“Stopped at this place after looking up a dessert shop that sells rolled ice cream.
You definitely get what you pay for. Plenty of thick rolls (4 in total) of selected flavors with up to three toppings to choose from.
I chose the lime with graham cracker flavor and it was creamy, crunchy, and cool to taste. The server/ice cream prepped was very polite, professional, and prompt in taking our orders and in preparing the ice cream. A very nice experience.“

“The Pricing of the is much lower than most places, you get the toppings for free with no cost extra. You get a lot of ice cream for $13 which you get 12oz for that much. Good choices of exterior to look a bit fancy at cheap for what it looks like“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“best ice dessert !!!“

“Honestly, about the best gelato I’ve had outside of Italy. I’ve had gelato in Rome and Venice, Amsterdam in various other countries. Gelato in the United States has always pale in comparison but this place does it right. However, at $10 for a small you’re absolutely gonna pay for it and it boggles my mind how desensitize people have come to just opening their wallets.“

“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 !“

“DELICIOUS vegan gelato!!!!! 🤤🤤 they had vegan dark chocolate, strawberry and raspberry. I mixed the dark chocolate and strawberry and it was so decadent. I want to go back!! Also they were not shy on offering samples which I love.“

“Bacio Di Latte is now my go to for good pistachio ice cream. Many pistachio ice creams have that off-putting minty/cherry flavor from almond extract. But not Bacio di latte. It's subtly sweet and creamy from the milk and wonderfully enhanced by the nutty flavor from pistachio. Does melt a little quickly than your normal ice cream, however. :)“
