When I went on a hot Sunday it was empty and the lady that helped us out was very nice. Got the Gansito & my sister got the letche quemada ? so good!!! I like the fact that it’s up the block from where I live. It’s so small and lowkey I only noticed it recently lol

Was craving ice cream/just something cold on a Friday getting off work early. Looked around on Google and found this spot. I damn near might be come here once a week. So many flavors. Tastes refreshing. Plus agua fresca, pastries, coffee ans sandwiches? Been in Ktown for 3 years and I’m very upset I haven’t come across this place sooner. Oh, and great prices too.

The staff is always welcoming and friendly. The ice cream selection is great and guaranteed fresh! If you're not sure what you want, you can ask for a sample, and they're more than happy to give you something you'll like. The best Oxacan Paleteria in the area!

Great prices and options for juice, popsicles, smoothies, and more! I enjoyed their mangeonada. I am vegan and found so many great options for me. So glad it’s in the neighborhood.

Dietary restrictions: Many juices, smoothies, and paletas are vegan by default. Can ask if you have any questions about items.

This place is truly unique! I had the smoked milk and cactus fruit ice cream. It was like nothing I’ve ever had before. I also got to try their fruity pebble and Oaxacan chocolate flavors. Both also incredible. I will definitely be back! Also this place is family owned and they make all their flavors in house.

I stopped here while visiting some friends in LA. It was hot as all hell that day and this place was a relief. They have so many different flavors of sherbet/ice cream/water ice and for the price they give you generous scoop. The woman at the counter was very friendly and let me try multiple flavors. Great place to grab a cold treat.

Stumbled upon this place after hotel staff had directed me to walk to Wilshire Blvd for the nearest coffee shop. Great coffee and literally across the street. Highly recommend if staying at H Hotel.

Cheerful, bright environment with a friendly, welcoming staff. The iced cafe de olla was tasty and refreshing, and though I haven't tried them, their paleta selection looks amazing.

I had the mango chamoy soft serve ice cream and it was so fresh and true to taste! The staff are extremely kind and gave us samples. The environment is clean and smells good. They have it all here from teas and coffee and hot chocolate to sandwhiches, tostilocos, esquites, fresh juice. You name it. Everything is fresh 10/10 recommend! Definitely worth the drive and coming back here?
