“I've been coming to Ken's ever since I was a little bitty boy.Back in California and I'm about to make a B-line to Ken's and bring my kids. My favorite thing about Ken is a ice cream shakes any flavor you want.Kid-friendliness: Hey I was a kid when I met Senior and they always treated me nice. I was a teen when I met Junior. Nothing better than a hometown family home business. They will always and forever have my full support“
“THE best ice cream place in Torrance! I love their ice cream! They have constant flavors on their menu & they have some for a very limited time. Be sure to check their website!They donate a portion of their profits to charities. Support thos local small business! Your taste buds will thank you, too!“
“Came in exactly at closing time and we thought we wouldn't be able to try it but the owner rushed outside and welcomed us in! Super nice and friendly. Filipino-fusion ice cream shop that's a hole in the wall! The mango Sorbet tasted like mango float cake! definitely will come back and recommend to friends and families to try. Thanks again!“
“Closed on Sundays, go to the website to find out that day's flavors. They change every week. There is NO free tasting. There was some mention of trying the flavors so i thought there was. But i asked at this last visit and No there isn't a tasting available. The cookies are BIG and heavy in weight, they have a real buttery undertone. The milk chocolate chip cookie is my favorite. The chocolate chips are decadent. They are crispy and gooey. I toast them for a crispier cookie but it IS a great cookie. The brownie cookie is also great. There are many more flavors but haven't found any other flavor YET that i love as much as these two. The workers are nice, helpful, your order prompt. I would give those cookies an A- but that's because I prefer a crispier cookie. The flavor is there, i'd definitely return and have been there numerous times“

“Strictly take-out, there's always a line; but oh, so worth it!!! Their sugar-free options taste like their full-sugar! All flavors are super good! Anything, and everything, with chocolate, vanilla, fruit, carmal, etc. are amazing! Even their basic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavors are impressive. Tuesdays, they have their special on...STOP READING THIS and go get some ice cream!“
“Visited 1st time yesterday and Konrad was the best to make us feel comfortable with choosing their in-house made ice cream. Samples were given to ensure we purchased a good one cream flavor. Water is available if the ice cream is too rich to clean you tongue pallet. We enjoyed your choice of ice cream. The creamery had been voted best creamery since 2015. Will be returning.Vegetarian options: Vegan ice cream options“
“Such a cute spot for coffee, pastries and gelato. Love that they were able to make me and iced decaf iced latte as I'm trying to lower my caffeine. Orders a TGTG order and the pastries were delicious! Such cute merch as well. Only issue is you have to find parking. I paid $1 for metered parking.“
“I knew about this spot way before social media existed. Glad the place is still here. If you grew up enjoying palletas like myself come here. Forget that store manufactured junk sold in some markets. This is the real deal and the prices are still low and reasonable. I found out about this place from a coworker way back when I worked in Long Beach. Since it was a drive for me I picked up a couple dozen select flavors. And I'll be back so glad they open early.“

And the taste was so good!!! Thank you so much Marsha!!!your the best to do it! Truly my favorite cake I’ve ever had! You want to order your cake from her!!“
“This place is a South Bay gem! The coffee is the best I have found in our area, the owner/staff are super friendly, and the food is fresh & delicious. In the morning, it's packed but service is still efficient. Highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a latte and a crostini!“
“After dinner nearby, we ventured to SomiSomi for dessert. I wanted to try the chocolate and cookies and cream ice creams but unfortunately, they couldn't mix two soft serve ice creams. So, I was left with the options they had in the swirl. I ended up getting the milk tea and cookies and cream in a cup with the nutella filled taiyaki on top. I was excited about the toppings and I asked for cookies, fruity pebbles, graham crackers, and coconut flakes. Our creations looked very pretty but I was ore concerned about how they tasted. The milk tea overpowered the cookies and cream but the consistency of the soft serve was good. The soft serve was quite high in the cup putting the taiyaki on top of it made it too heavy. Unfortunately it fell off as I walked down the street. Message to let me try hers though and it was pretty good.For $6.95, I thought the portions were plentiful, making it a really good deal. I would return t and try other flavors when I'm back in the area.“

“Fantastic quality and the owner is so nice and boy can he slice those bananas and strawberries with precision! Totally delicious and authentic. I got the crepe with smoked salmon, avocado, cream cheese and it was amazing. My daughter got the crepe with Nutella, strawberries and banana and it was so good she would not share with me.Lloyd“
“Yo way has delicious sandwiches made the way you want it. Fresh deli meats and lots of fresh veggies to choose from. Fast and friendly service too. If you want a lunch or dinner that will fill you up and satisfy your appetite. I recommend Yo way. Give it a try you will definitely come back and bring your friends you will be happy you did.“
“Ordered the lucky charms inspired ice cream and it was so good. I'm a big fan of the cereal especially the marshmallows and this ice cream flavor hit the spot. Small seating area inside with a few tables but walking distance to enjoy on the pier. Service is average.“

“This Yogurtland location is in a nice area to me. It's not near where a lot of people congregate so there's not a big crowd around there; even before COVID-19 social distancing. I would give it 5 stars but they were out of about 4 flavors. The place is very clean and the workers are very nice.“
“Customer service is great, they're very big on offering samples to make sure you order what you like. Everything is very fresh - one of my favorite iced cream spots in Long Beach!Vegetarian options: It's...

“Just came from the beach and decided to come here.The place is very welcoming,very clean.The young lady that rang me up was nice.There's a long bench to sit on & Hawaiian music being played while you wait for your order.I ordered the Halo Halo and Rootbear float for the wife.Halo2 was good compared to the other ones that I've tried but the wife didn't like hers. I might come back for the halo2 and try the mais con Yelo if I'm in the area.“
“I love Wanna Chill! I wish there was one closer to Manhattan Beach because I can only go every once in a while, but sometimes I have work in Redondo Beach so I drop by for Wanna Chill Wednesdays to get the shaved ice deal! My tip is to get dole whip in the base of the shaved ice!“

“Immediately noticed cookie making equipment along with flour and eggs: always a good sign. Front staff are chipper and willing to describe products. Chocolate chip had nice chunks of excellent quality chocolate - oddly hard to find these days. Peanut butter had good flavor but left me wanting. Chocolate-Chocolate with frosting was amazing. The oatmeal was frosted: not necessary and it distracts from a beautiful base. We paid $16 for 4 cookies.“
“I ordered the matcha sweetie and added the honeycomb chip. My friend ordered the dear caramel. I would give this a 20 stars if I could. The matcha and honey was off the charts amazing and worth every penny. I see people complaining about the price but I don’t think they understand how expensive honey is and the fact that they harvest there out honey from hives. It was so yummy and a Cute place. The parking was a mess but would not stop me from going again. I enjoyed it very much. Go try it out.“
“So glad I found this location! * near IKEA - so I'll grab this and walk around IKEA* fresh options * various choices of base and chia seed puddings* reasonable price* my kids love it I wish this place was closer to my home because I would come here dailyThey have three sizes and a menu to pick from 1. Size 2. Base : they have 6 choices3. Add chia pudding4. Fruit5. Granola6. Toppings My two kids devoured one small Amazon acai bowl.“
“Even though I've never been there, we got 2 slices of pie delivered. 1 Cherry and 1 Mississippi Mudd..... unbelievable taste. DELICIOUS!!!. I would HIGHLY recommend The Pie Bar for your dessert fix.....please support this business you'll hate yourself if ya don't....“
“Cool Spot. $30 for 18 pack of Sonic/Spider Man Ice Cream Bars on 7/1/22. Sell them individually for $2 a piece. Nice guy working the store. Store front says they open 8:30 am. I got their at 8:15 and they were open. They sell everything you'd see on an ice cream truck for about 40% the cost.“
“I highly recommend it here. The donuts are great. They have thrifty ice cream. Their sandwiches are delicious. Speedy service even when they are booking with business. I highly recommend their juices. Carrot juice or the orange juice are my favorite fresh made.“
“(Translated by Google) My favorite place for those days when I'm relaxed at home, a visit there and I leave very happy hehehe(Original)Mi lugar favorito para esos días en que estoy relajado en casa,una visita ahí y salgo bien contento jijiji“
“Update: I received a response from the owner, apologizing on behalf of these two employees. I appreciate the attention to this matter, and emphasizing the importance of customer service at this ice cream shop. I will coming back again, the ice cream was delicious and my kids really loved their Ice cream. Previous post: Service was terrible, as soon as we walked in 15-20 prior to closing time the shop was pretty much closed prematurely. My daughters wanted to see the ice cream selection to choose from but all the ice cream was covered up because Sophia and Caitlyn decided they would be leaving right at 9 pm. I've worked in customer service before and yes it does suck when you're trying to get ahead of the game and do your closing tasks to help yourself out a bit at the end of the night but I NEVER treated the customers the way Caitlyn and Sophia treated me and my family. I felt like I forced them to do their jobs and I felt unwelcomed, rolling of the eyes, deep sighs at every request. Unwillingness to make our order because they had already cleaned everything up. Then to top off the whispering to each other "we are not getting out of here at 9." Uhhh if you're open till 9 then stay open until 9, oh and to top off this whole wonderful experience... at 8:55 they kicked us out and told us they had to mop. An ice cream shop in a downtown area on a Friday night. I would imagine it should get a lot of foot traffic... this is how you treat customers?“
“The ice cream shop is in the middle of shopping stores, with table and chairs to sit and enjoy. The place is kid friedly the staff are nice and you are greeted with a smile. We had the banana bread pudding with fudge and honeycomb fudge ripple. The banana bread pudding tastes good on the first bite but it has an artificial after taste to it, if it doesn't bother you it is a good flavor... but i especially like the honeycomb the crisp added texture to it.“
“During my recent visit to Crumbl Cookies, I was impressed by the delightful aroma that greeted me upon entering. The vibrant and inviting atmosphere immediately set a positive tone. The staff was friendly and eager to assist, making the ordering process smooth.As for the cookies, they were a true delight. The variety of flavors available was extensive, and each cookie looked like a work of art. I particularly enjoyed the warm Cornbread cookie, which was a perfect balance of sweetness. The cookies were generously sized and had a soft, chewy texture that was simply irresistible.What stood out was the innovative packaging – each cookie was individually wrapped, ensuring freshness. The presentation added an extra touch of sophistication to the whole experience.While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality of the cookies justifies the cost. Overall, my visit to Crumbl Cookies was a delightful experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth.“
“Great food, even better people. Was starving after a festival and looked into the window at the kitchen where friends and I saw an untouched but finished funnel cake. After gesturally begging for it the worker boxed it and brought it out for free. Made my year.“

“One of my fav ice cream spots! So many flavors (the sampler box of 4 scoops is perfect if you’re new)… but lately, I’ve been loving the Hurricanes (think McFlurry but better)! The line gets long sometimes in the evenings but it moves pretty fast. There’s no seating at Handels itself but there are benches around. Highly recommend!“
“Cute gelato shop on main street Segundo. Absolutely delicious gelato, have tried several flavors including pistachio (best pistachio I've had in my life), dulce de leche, amarena cherry and stracciatella. All the flavors are exquisite. They also have home cooked meals like eggplant parmigiana to go.“
“Fresh made flavors, lots of original creations make this ice cream shop stand out from the rest. This and fossilmans are my two goto locations for ice cream and I alternate between the too.Service: excellent all around and never once have I come here and not been greeted by some of the nicest people happily scooping ice cream for my cravings.My personal favorite flavors include Death by Chocolate, Chocolate Raspberry truffle and Cherry vanilla.All their flavors come with tons of chunks of chocolate, cherries etc.The only gripe sometimes is the scoops being a bit small but 90% of the time they are a healthy size which would fill my craving.There's always a line here so plan accordingly and try all the flavors! I do recommend flavors with less chunks of ingredients for the shakes as it hard to suck up a straw lol.I highly recommend this ice cream shop!!!“
“I recently dined at Yamamori and had an amazing experience! The lychee martinis were refreshing, the titanic roll was delicious, and the hibachi chicken was perfectly cooked. Our server, Tommy, provided excellent service throughout the meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and the entire dining experience was top-notch. I highly recommend Yamamori for anyone looking for exceptional sushi and hibachi dishes. Can't wait to visit again!“
“The good:I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! I tried an ice cream sandwich here and thought it was enjoyable. It's interesting how you can get two different types of cookies for the sandwich. The location is prime because it's located right off Hermosa Beach pier. It's a great stop to get dessert that you can enjoy along the beach. For my cookies I got cookies and cream (Oreo cheesecake flavored) and cookie of the month (I cannot recall what flavor this was). I got blackberry crumble as the ice cream. They have vegan ice cream options. The flavors are mostly classic. You can add toppings and get your cookies hot pressed. The bad:The cookie was smaller than I expected and the sandwich didn't hold its shape. You don't eat it like an ice cream cookie sandwich. Instead, they serve it on a paper plate with a spoon. It's pricey. The interesting:They have locations throughout the US. You can order in advance online.“
“Happen to stumble on this little gem in the neighborhood after seeing some kids eating ice cream. Decided to stop in and give it a try. The two young ladies working there were very helpful and offered to try their new flavor - Vibranium - in tribute to the upcoming movie Black Panther. And the ice cream flavor and add ons was delicious. Definitely will be back!!“

“Love yogurtland! Would definitely recommend enrolling in their rewards system. Pricing is quite fair compared to most other froyo places, and their classic tart is delish. The cashiers have always been nice at this location, and would definitely come again.“
“The ice cream is delicious. I would recommend not to get the large cup for ice cream. I got the médium size and i felt like it was just to much sweet for me. I got the oreo twister. I think the smallest cup is good enough to satisfy the tastebuds a little bit. ?. I got a bottle of water just to help it digest ??. It was a delicious dessert. I appreciate de service here. ?Parking: Parking is limited here. Not a lot of parking.“
“Pricey but you pay for what you get: Real delicious deserts of good quality. They serve fruits, tostilocos, special drinks, nachos, cocktail, tortas and so much more! Try it and the taste will tell! It's unlike any other! My favorite is the Sangria drink that they uniquely prepare.“
“I always feel good visiting a small business. This is a tiny, hole in the wall, right next to a barber shop. Flavors are posted on the wall. Service was friendly and personalized. I enjoyed my scoop of milk tea ice cream. It was rich and creamy. There's a little seating inside and outdoors. I sat at the table outdoors. Perfect place to stop by after the Torrance Antique Fair.“

“What a great find in El Segundo. This soft serve ice cream is offered in vanilla, chocolate, or 50/50, but the many different flavored dips and toppings are the best part. They also have a vegan ice cream option. The ice cream is light and creamy and are served in a cone or cup. The chocolate dip hardens as it sets.I enjoyed the dark chocolate raspberry dip which was the flavor of the month and my daughter loved the cookies 'n cream. I found the smalls to be very large. The shop is welcoming and bright with small tables and chairs for enjoying your dessert.Know this place also serves coffee, espressos, smoothies, and acai bowls and more. Many locals stop in for their morning coffee and smoothies. I will be back to try an acai bowl next and will update my review then.Meanwhile...ice cream is always a good idea!“
“Have visited here multiple times over the past few years, and it’s consistently good. Very fond of the generous hot fudge sundae (including brownie) well crafted and deliciously satisfying. Banana split is a winner as well. Friendly staff welcomes you.“
“I swung by here to grab a quick shake. The milkshakes are so thick & creamy. I got a large oreo milkshake & Bella got a pup cup the girl working here is soooo sweet & literally every patron too. I definitely recommend this place! It's a vibe. Parking is a little tight so I park across the from baskin Robbins in a little lot next to manhattan Torah center since I won't be more than 10 mins in & out of BR.“
“I loved Manhattan Beach Creamery when I was a kid and even though is all grown up I still love Manhattan Beach Creamery!!!A beloved local business in the South Bay and I will always appreciate the memories I’ve had here.Last time I paid a visit I had Taro Root ice cream and this time I had Pralines & Cream!!I will continue to support this business regardless of the other ice cream chains coming to the area, Manhattan Beach Creamery is here to stay in the South Bay!“
“**CASH ONLY!!**I love this Fosters Freeze and it makes me happy that I still see a long line even after inflation and COVID.I always get my small vanilla with a chocolate dip cone which always hits the spot after eating at some other local restaurants within the area.I never had an issue with parking since there is a small parking lot behind the store and street parking nearby.“
“For a small shop there is a lot of snacks along with a menu to view at what's offered. Some problems the place has is that its hidden within the street so it's easy to pass by it without knowing what's inside. Final problem is one lady makes and takes orders which is time consuming so a big order may take a long time depending how many are ordering.“
“Truly one of our favorite stops during our visit abd stay. I highly suggest you getting a to-go order of their decorated and savory pastries and dessert on the day you check out.Parking: Free parking is available but best to check with the hotel attendant on duty.“
“Very YUM!!! Don't mind the "Ice Cream" sign out from cause the food here is good. Definitely a great place to enjoy some out of the way food and, of course, ice cream too. Definitely worth checking out and just being part of the neighborhood“
“Coldstone is one of my favorite ice cream places. Cake Batter is always my ice cream flavor of choice. I usually get it with cookie dough and chocolate fudge mixed in. This coldstone in particular had great customer service. Very friendly environment. Took them a little bit to notice someone was in the store, but overall a positive experience.“
