50 Best Ice Cream Shops near La Canada Flintridge

“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.“

“This spot is a hidden gem fr. Every drink I’ve tried here has been on point—flavorful, not too sweet, and the boba is always fresh and chewy just how it should be. The workers are mad chill and super friendly, always make you feel welcome. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time, they got you. Definitely one of my favorite go-to boba spots. Oh and the strawberry matcha definitely one of my favorites 10/10 recommend.“

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

“great place for ice cream“

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

“Definitely Recommend This Place 👌“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“If you're walking on the sidewalk in Echo Park, and see a Hopscotch court on the ground, you might have stumbled upon one of the best ice cream shops in the area. That's exactly what happened to a couple of friends and I as we were venturing out into the wilderness on a Saturday evening. Fluffy McCloud not only has atmosphere and pizzazz, but they also pride themselves in using only whole, organic ingredients. Inside this fine establishment, you'll find a working jukebox, a coin-operated gumball machine filled with Lactaid pills (yes, they thought of EVERYTHING), a perpetual motion machine (like a Space Rail), and awesome and friendly staff that dispatch everyone quickly, yet in a professional and friendly manner. My favorite flavor was Thelma Vanilla (yes, I'm very basiq, I know lol), and I had it in a sugar wafer ice cream cone (highly recommend it over having it in a cup). Definitely a 10/10 ice cream shop in one of the most fun and interesting neighborhoods of Los Angeles.“

“I don’t know a single person who hates this place. Everyone is super friendly. The ice cream is so delicious. A small scoop is anything BUT small. And the 4-scoop sampler will forever be one of the best deals in all of the ice cream kingdom. May this place last forever.“

“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 🍦👑“

“My husband and I kept passing by and FINALLY went in.

The ice cream options all looked too good to the point that I didn't want to regret my decision by picking one over the other. I tried three and was stuck between two: ashta and baklava. I was low-key panicking on which one to get until the woman behind the counter told me I could go half & half. I was so excited I got to have the best of both worlds! 😂😂 aish el saraya is one of my favorite desserts so to have ashta as an ice cream?! Ooof, take my whole wallet!

My husband got his classic cookies and cream and he liked how fresh it was.

All in all, great ice cream, great customer service, clean, and it's a small business. 10/10! We'll definitely be back!“

“We had an amazing experience with Swrlies owner, Yardley, and his team when they came out to Eliot Arts Magnet to do a fundraiser event for us! After the Eaton fire and being displaced, Eliot Arts Drama and Dance students lost their homes and their creative spaces. Now they are dreaming big for the year ahead, and our event with Swrlies Ice Cream gave them a fun way to do just that! Thank you Swrlies!! @EliotArts“

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

“Ice cream and vegan ice cream“

“I ordered a decaf iced mocha affogato with oat milk and it was delicious. Such rich flavor from the melted gelato. Infinitely better than fake syrups, sugary cloud creams, etc. Would highly recommend getting an espresso drink here!! Best coffee!“

“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 !“

“I am usually not the type to write a review, but the service that Sebastian provided was top tier. Sebastian allowed us to sample some products and provided some creative suggestions when it came to combination like a peanut butter and jelly like option when it came to gelato. He was extremely patient with me as I made chose a flavor or gelato to take home and even promoted the points system when imputing our phone number before purchasing it. His service alone is 5 stars alone and the products that were sold were extremely delicious as well, I am looking forward to trying more flavors and running into him again for more suggestions he comes across of.“

“delicious. adorable highly recommend“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I was incredibly pleasantly surprised to try this yogurt place. For the me Tantric flavor was soooo amazing and the chocolate one is freaking out of this world! The cone is also SO unique and perfect. It's my favorite now! I can't say enough about the staff, such cool vibe!“

“This Taiyaki + Ice Cream place is at the level of other giants such as SomiSomi. The soft serve has a perfect texture (I tried the Pure Milk flavor with a Taiyaki on top, the Taiyaki being filled with Nutella), the service is quick and efficient, and the store was crowded when my two friends and I went on a Saturday evening. The ambiance is great too, there are so many pictures showing what the options are like, and there are clearly-illustrated menus spread throughout the restaurant. The toppings are available for the customers to grab and add to their ice cream as they wish, and everything, from the Oreo crumbs to the Banana chips are great. You can truly feel that every single item in this store is, indeed, made With Love.“

“Ice Cream Occasions was such a fun and unique addition to our event! The ice cream cart looked great and added a nostalgic touch, and the selection of treats was perfect. The staff was super friendly and made everything really easy, from booking to setup. It definitely made the day feel extra special, and I’d totally recommend them for any party or event.“

“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.“

“The premium ice cream shop Montrose needed! Perlas is as good or better than many of the ice cream shops that regularly feature in best of LA lists. The ice cream here is rich and creamy and the flavors are inventive and delicious. This is definitely our new spot!“

“We enjoy FF, but our location @Whittier and Orme Ave desperately needs a refresh of the paint and sign. It would be such a bright spot in the neighborhood! It could be a great marketing event.“

“I’m blown away by the extraordinary customer service we got from Karen! She wash sooo nice and patient with my girls and went above and beyond to make sure they had an amazing experience. And love how healthy and delicious the products are.THANK YOU Karen!“

“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“

“Going to Fosters is a 20 year tradition for us and they never disappoint. The ice cream is always creamy and the fries are always perfectly crispy. They have so many choices to choose from that everyone in the family are always happy. It can get pricey but the quality has not been compromised, so we don't mind. The customer service is great, they're always friendly and helpful. We love Foster's Freeze!!!!!“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“Best Frozen Yogurt Ever Tasted“

“This ice cream is off the charts. The Hokey pokey is a special light crunchy golden toffee which you could basically put on any ice cream and served in a New Zeland style of soft serve.
We tried their Hokey pokey Christmas tree which is a pistachio soft serve and boy we weren't disappointed at all.
A must try if you passing by.“

“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.“

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

“I wish they made Thrifty ice cream with out sugar for diabetes. The could make it with stevia, malitol or erithratol.“

“We tried the crème brûlée one, and it was fantastic. The caramelized sugar layer on top had that perfect crisp crack, and underneath it was smooth, creamy, and really satisfying. The combination of textures — the crunchy caramelized top with the soft, sweet filling — made every bite really enjoyable.

Overall, it was a great dessert and definitely something I’d order again if I come back. If you like crème brûlée-style desserts with that caramelized sugar shell and creamy base, this one really delivers.“

“First time coming here and it was a pleasant experience. I got the standard 2 half scoops with Texas Sheet Cake and Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks and they were both very rich and creamy. I got it in a waffle bowl and the portion size was fine but it was a bit expensive for $10. They do have dairy free and vegan options which is great. Also, the staff were very friendly and patient with us which we greatly appreciated. Would consider coming back.“

“10/10 The staff here was amazing and super helpful, for being my first time they were patient and all their suggestions were on point. The pistachio and Nutella dipped cone was worth the money! The crema Torino ice cream was definitely my favorite 😍“

“The vegan chocolate pistachio is one of the best flavors I’ve ever had here! Love that there’s so many dairy free options that are interesting and not just generic. Sergio was super sweet and patient as I tried different flavors to get the perfect combo. Great service!“

“One of the best ice creams I’ve ever tried!
This vegan ice cream is perfectly balanced — not too sweet, and the flavor comes from real ingredients, not just sugar. You can truly taste the quality and natural flavor in every bite. Absolutely loved it!“

“Best service One of the best raspados. I have been there since a little kid me and my dad always been there. The best store in Lincoln Heights. I will always get a toy chicken from there that store was my childhood. When I was little like 5 I will always sit in the corner of that store every day I always sit there it the same spot it was like my favorite spot to sit in and eat my rasados and ice cream with my dad and mom.“

“This animation studio is amazing. They have made movies like the Shrek movies, and Puss in Boots, and Trolls and other movies like The Bad Guys and The Bad Guys 2. The Bad Guys movies are my favorite. Mr Wolf is so amazing. Fan Letters to the director Pierre Perifel who directed the Bad Guys Movies can be sent to this animation studio.“

“Maybe the nicest staff in town. As a grown adult who just spilled his ice cream twice on the floor they immediately helped me clean the mess and remedied the situation. I come here often after work cuz treat yourself don’t cheat yourself.“

“My little kid love this....😋“

“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“

“The ice cream was great. I think the seven dollar price tag was probably pretty normal. Would like to trash the tip jar and have people that charge seven dollars a scoop of ice cream actually pay their employees to be professional professionals without always asking us for money. We are broke wages haven’t gone up with what things cost and you want more money because you won’t pay your employees just like I’m not getting paid. We’re tired of it other than that. Your ice cream is great.“
