“Love their sundaes. Good service, friendly people behind the counter. Very clean store“

“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!“

“This Burbank location is a smaller store compared to some of the other Handels. Basically you would go up to one of several windows and order from the menu signs outside the store. They will made your item(s) and call you for pickup. There is seating area outside the store. Smaller but same great tasting homemade ice cream since 1945!“

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

“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.“

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

“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 had a great experience at Yogurt in Kenneth Village! The frozen yogurt was delicious, tasted fresh, and was excellent quality. There were plenty of flavors and toppings to choose from, and everything was very clean. The worker was especially kind, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better with their friendly service. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing frozen yogurt!“

“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!“

“Super good ice cream, lots of flavors, a great value and quick, friendly service.

If you have not been to Handel’s you really should try it.

We went with a large party and we were served quickly.

Everyone enjoyed their ice cream and we were surprised by the reasonable prices for the quantity and quality of the ice cream.

The facility was clean and the seating comfortable.

There is seating at all locations, some with more than others.

Parking is available, but can get busy during peak hours.

I highly recommend Handel’s“

“Delicious ice cream. Nice variety of selections. I got the affogato and it was perfect. The young kid with the curly hair in his eyes is extremely rude and grumpy. No hello, nothing. Gave us an attitude when we asked him about the cones. It's an ice cream shop. Smile more, you're working in the wrong place kid.Unfortunately this is the norm now with this generation.“

“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!“

“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“

“great place for ice cream“

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

“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 recently heard about Perla's from our teen daughter. Unassuming, cute but a bit hard to spot driving southbound on Oceanview, just south of downtown Montrose. I've always told my kids that there are no better ice cream flavors than Filipino ice cream and I'm so glad they finally got to try some. So much better than store-bought Magnolia brand ice cream (no shade intended) and not as sweet as conventional flavors. I had the Melon, while my family got Buko Pandan (MY FAVORITE), Ube and Louisiana Banana. There are a few seats inside and ample seating outside. I can't wait to try the other flavors!“

“We had the pleasure of being helped by Frances, the manager. He was patient and attentive with my family. Made sure to make my daughters (4), ice cream look extra fun. The flavors are different from local competitors, and are delicious. Thank you for hiring great talent, refreshing to get good service in the most unexpected place!“

“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“

“Swrlies is a must have at any event. The team was professional, friendly, efficient, easy to work with and the highlight of our event. The guests were so excited and raving about the froyo station, it was the perfect addition to the event. If you're looking for a froyo vender I highly recommend Swrlies! I'm a fan and look forward to booking them for my next event.“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“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!“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

“Excellent service. Friendly and professional. Menu is loaded by great selections. Definitely recommend.“

“Comelati Ice Cream is amazing and tastes delicious! I'm so glad my coworker told me about this place. The staff are very friendly and greet you as soon as you walk in. They are attentive and make ordering easy. I also appreciate that they speak English, which is helpful for customers who don't speak Spanish. Overall, I had a great experience, and this place is definitely better than some other ice cream shops I've visited. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“$10 for a donut base or $7 for a waffle cone. He has limited flavor offerings, but the ice cream is thrifty brand and very good. He's a local. He's a nice guy. He's genuine. He's everything you should be supporting in your community.“

“Just the way Foster's was when I was a kid. They used to have these in Orange County, I thought they closed up! This place has plenty of parking, you sit outside. They sell burgers and drinks too, but I only go to buy a tiny cup of soft serve for $2-$3 that they totally overfill!“

“I'm not sure what the employees name is but he showed me a true act of kindness! It was 108 degrees outside and I was dangerously close to having a heat stroke! I was about to black out when I got to the window and the Young man working blessed me with a cup and a bottle of cold water! He showed a total stranger (a homeless stranger at that) that there is still kindness and kind people in the world! So please whoever should read this, go and support this business! We need more people like that young man in our community“

“If you offered me this ice cream 1 million times I would accept it 1 million times… It is so delicious. I got the pure milk flavor with black sugar drizzle, PERFECTION. I taste tested the dole whip, and it was also delicious. The texture of the soft serve is exactly what I was looking for. 100% will be back. The staff was so nice and they even have a free topping bar… Really cute little shop!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The bakery here is amazing - immean its all amazing but the bakery is top tier 😍 they got thai tea custard, pandem baked goodies, mango sticky rice, coconut cake (i think thats what its called), and TONS more. I usually park in the neighborhood just south of here; the parking lot is valet only (or most of the time it is)“

“We just did a Girl Scout Tour and Alex was amazing! Great store, clean, organized and delicious frozen yogurt given with a lot Smiles. Thank you!“

“We got their classic hokey pokey ice cream, on a hot summer day it was perfect. We got the small size and it was around 8-9 bucks. It was on the pricier side for that amount, and I think it’s a very touristy spot. Great place to try at least once.“

“Came in for the first time and the cafe had such a nice atmosphere surrounding it. The latte I ordered was delicious and had a wonderfully tasting espresso. I also got one of their lunch sandwiches along with some fries which were both crafted beautifully and not what I was expecting from a cafe. I had to end it with a pastry because they all looked so yummy and the one I chose definitely met that standard. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. From someone who also works in a very similar environment and can be picky, it was very much worth it. I do recommend and will 100% be back!“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“Best Frozen Yogurt Ever Tasted“

“I’ve never had an ice cream dessert quite like this before! It was such a unique experience and absolutely delicious. It was a little messy to eat, but completely worth it. I’d definitely recommend coming here and trying it for yourself. I’ll absolutely be back to explore more flavors, especially the hojicha and matcha! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-25“

“I think this is my first ice cream shop I’ve ever reviewed. What I loved about it was the durian ice cream. The flavor is strong enough that it’s distinctly durian, without being over powering, or too sweet. And the coconut waffle cone was fresh. The server was cool too :). Would recommend 👍👍“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“Delicious! All they are missing is warn chocolate fudge sauce... Another LA ice creamery does that, so now I'm of the mind that this is not the best ice cream on LA any longer.

Guys get the hot fudge sauce and you will be the greatest ever!“

“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.“

“Amazing flavor choices and delicious cookies!“

“I came here for gelato, and it was absolutely delicious! Both the sugar cone and the cup were excellent. The strawberry flavor is my favorite, and it was simply perfect. We also brought our little dog with us, and she was welcomed so warmly and received lots of attention. We’re so happy we found this place. The atmosphere is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully maintained down to every detail. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a delicious afternoon treat.“

“This is one of those places I almost wish I hadn’t tried, because I know I’ll be coming back EXTREMELY often. It took painful amounts of self control to not go back the next day after I first tried it. Delicious, creamy…don’t walk, run…and just know you’ll be wanting to come back for more. (Oh, and the waffle cones are exceptional.)“

“Black Licorice Ice Cream… my husband is very happy!!!“

“If you're considering having an ice cream station at your wedding or event, stop searching and book them. Seriously.
The ice cream was an absolute hit at our wedding. Throughout the night, guests kept coming back for more, talking about their favorite flavors, and raving about how fun and unexpected it was. There's something about a beautiful ice cream station that instantly brings out everyone's inner child, and Ice Cream Occasions delivered that experience.

They arrived knowing exactly what to do, where to set up, how to operate within the flow of the event, and how to serve guests efficiently. As an event professional myself, I notice when vendors require hand-holding versus when they can truly operate independently, and Ice Cream Occasions was the latter. Once they arrived, I had complete confidence that everything was handled.

To make things even more impressive, I booked them only a few days before my wedding. Despite the short timeline, their team was accommodating, responsive, and willing to customize toppings specifically for us. They never made us feel rushed or like our request was an inconvenience. Instead, they jumped in and helped make it happen.

The combination of incredible ice cream, execution and outstanding customer service made them one of the easiest and best vendor decisions we made.
To the entire Ice Cream Occasions team, thank you for bringing such a fun, memorable, and delicious experience to our wedding. You exceeded every expectation, and our guests are still talking about it. We would recommend you again and again without hesitation!!“

“It was much better today, was busy too, but service was spot on, and the gelato selection was fantastic and the espresso was executed well enough, unlike the first visit. Just it was a bit packed and for whatever reason, folks in line will sometimes be like really up on you, I'm like bro, stay with your wife I'm not with you. But other than that, great execution today, bravo. Community has to do better tho.“
