50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Manhattan Beach

“What a great ice cream shop! This chain is well known for their distinctive selection of mouthwatering flavors. This relatively new location conveniently located in the heart of Manhattan Beach is a great addition to town, and definitely worth checking out. Make sure to ask for samples!

Parking: Try parking in the civic center lot or at the other nearby lots and garages, street parking is nearly impossible to find.“

“Being from Germany and craving some delicious “Spaghettieis” this was a 10/ 10 experience. Thank you! War super lecker. ☺️“

“The guys that work there are really nice and helpful“

“porque me gusta el yogurt con fruta y nuecez.“

“Manhattan Beach. YOU SHOULD GET 3 SCOOPS BUT 2 IS OK. 1 scoop was $6.25 and 2 was $6.75. 3 was $7 something. If you like toppings, the banana split is the way to go for $10.25. There were some seats outside, but this place was more like a take out place. Walk the beach and go to the promenade. The museum wasn't interesting.

Parking: Park on the street or public garage.

Wheelchair accessibility: The store was dense, but you can navigate with wheelchair“

“Literally cannot stop visiting this place. Beware the "small" size will still get you 3 hearty scoops. Also, prepare to get your hands dirty; go for the bigger cones. Go-to favorite is the peanut butter brownie but be ready for heartburn afterwards.“

“AMAZING service !!! i wish i lived closer id be there every single day 😍😍“

“So, so good. Excellent customer service, great ice cream flavors, and to top it off it was delicious. They let you mix and match flavors which allowed me to walk out with a bit of every flavor I wanted which is great! Also, the pricing here is really good which makes it a no brainer. If you're craving good ice cream, this is the spot.“

“Best gelato and coffee in America“

“Owners are very nice. Delicious homemade ice cream. Flavors change and they’re adding new products.“

“Delicious and unique flavors“

“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.“

“Ken’s, is the best ice cream in the world! I think the loving attitude used to scoop it up, makes it extremely special! My grandkids started my journey with Ken’s, years ago. My oldest grandson is now 25 and the baby is 16. Whenever there is ice cream wanted in my house and they are around, it’s a trip to Ken’s! Watching it pass from one generation to another, has been a great thing for our community! One trip to Ken’s and you are hooked for life! I love the ice cream, and the beautiful spirit, of the people scooping it up! Nadine Gills-Ward, a loyal customer“

“Honeymee is soooo cool everyone should visit a honeymee once in their life these literally need to be on every corner of ever block of every city of every country in the world. The brown sugar boba ice cream was really good everyone should try it I've never tried ice cream with boba before but this was really good because it's like the cold ice cream and the warm boba balls mmmm mmmm mmmm so yummy 😋😋😋. The inside was really nice too with a good amount of seating and chill vibes ✌️✌️✌️😁😁. There was also a cool photo booth thing inside it was a little expensive but if you're into that it's there. I went on a Friday night and it was pretty busy but the service was great and quick and I got my ice cream really fast 🤩🤩🥳🥳. The bathroom was also pretty spacious and had a table right next to the toilet in case you wanted to do some work in there I guess idk. There's not another chair though so don't plan on holding any meetings in there. However there's pretty good seating outside if you want to do that.“

“Authentic Italian Gelato with many vegan options. Specialty coffee and fresh baked croissants.“

“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.“

“Amazing ice cream! Some of the best I’ve ever had. The worker was so kind and patient explaining the different options and helped me decide which pastry to get for my kid who had a complicated sensitivity to dairy. Would go here again even though I felt the price was a bit much. Not much space for dine in. Gave samples of ice cream.“

“Best ice cream. Very popular and lots of people there but service is pretty quick. Banana Cream Pie is my favorite!“

“FroFru is amazing! It’s our go-to place for dessert since it’s gluten free and dairy free and no added sugar! In fact, the taste is so good you have to remind yourself that it’s just made with fruit! Such a healthy but delicious alternative to ice cream or even frozen yogurt, our whole family loves it. Plus, the staff is always friendly — the whole place gives off such positive vibes! Five stars, highly recommended.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and dairy free“

“This gem has been here over 30 years! I use to come here with my sisters/ friends in the neighborhood as kids! Everything is still DELICIOUS AND TOP TIER! So glad to still have this place standing strong in the community! The young lady with the braids is a sweetheart. Very professional!“

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“So delicious!! Service was fun and excellent! Whatever ingredients are used to make the ice cream is fantastic! I felt great after, no bloating at all. Why would I add that, you may wonder?? I'm a BIT lactose intolerant and just couldn't resist when walking by!!??‍♀️ I was completely fine after having the entire cup. THAT'S A HUGE DEAL and shows how great they are.“

“buen servicio atenticion y calidad del Productos todos los empleados son 5 Estrellas bonito lugar“

“We come almost once a week but this week had Gabby help us and she is a STAR! She literally brightened our whole day and we’re really grateful for her service and kindness. Thought that should be celebrated so sharing how incredible she is here :)“

“I really give out 5 stars but when I do it is well worth it this little place on La Brea is a family favorite where you can still get Old fashioned ice cream ??? still have burgers that come off the grill and have that off the grill smell I can go on and on but I don't want to ruin the experience for you all I can say is go here with your family or with a girl for a cheap date and you will have a blast let's face it who doesn't love Foster's freeze “

“Staff is always friendly when we come and customer service is on point. It’s always clean and the topping bar is always stocked and so many selections to choose from when it come to the fro-yo. Seating is available. Great place highly recommend checking this spot out if your in the area. 10/10

Wheelchair accessibility: Great handicap parking right in front of entrance“

“Small mom and pop shop with traditional and unique flavors. Today was our first time and we had the Mexican Hot Chocolate (smooth and delicious!), Strawberry Pie (more fruity and delicious) and Mint Oreo (Lots of Oreos and delicious). You can taste the ice cream is fresh and made with real ingredients. Get it in a cone! Will definitely be back!“

“We might be Jeni’s playa vista’s #1 customers… so I want to say this review is based on a significant number of visits. This is to say that hands down, LP is the best Jeni’s rep we’ve gotten to know. He remembers our name and our order and always makes us feel welcome at the store. Thank you to the whole team and especially LP!“

“I love this place I would travel so far just to try the cookies every week as they change flavors. It’s so exciting you have to try this place. Specially, in Inglewood the energy is so cool.“

“best strawberry ice cream“

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

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“grwat customer service. their frozen yogurts are so good.“

“Delicious ice cream. The servings are large - a small scoop feels like 2 scoops. They have a cute outdoor area to sit but the interior is odd. Blaring bright lights in a commercial kitchen environment. Employees are dishing out ice cream in an assembly line fashion. It’s actually a very large shop set up to handle a large volume. Salty caramel truffle is my fave.“

“Stopped by All Chill, the Hip Hop Ice Cream Shop today. Had a scoop of Rose Liqueur and Cherry Vanilla. Both are to die for...huge whole black cherries and the flavor of blessed rose...yum!“

“If I’m in the mood for shaved ice it’s blue Hawaii and condensed milk. For ice cream birthday cake forsureee! Love wanna chill ❤️“

“Although I wouldn't call myself an ice cream connoisseur, McConnell's has won me over, particularly their chocolate variant ( named chocolate chocolate chocolate!). Hailing from Santa Barbara, they've expanded to several Southern California locations. Plus, they offer pints for sale if you're looking to bring a taste of their delicious ice cream home.“

“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 !“

“absolutely delicious burgers and sauce. the customer service and people working there where really nice and great people“

“Great ice cream and a good selection of flavors. They have a seasonal menu that changes periodically, so if you are looking for something to try, I definitely recommend any of those since they are usually unique and coincide with the season or if any fruits are in season.

I usually gravitate towards the New York Cheesecake or if I am really feeling it, I get the Strawberry Ice-cream that comes with Yellow Cake. You can sample any flavors if anythings good and your are still unsure.

I recommend joining the rewards program for a birthday reward as well as to rake up points if you visit often. They also share with you through emails what new flavors are coming in or if there are any promotions. One promotion thats long-standing is the BYO Banana to save on their Banana Split. I believe it is only on Wednesdays.“

“They have amazing ice cream flavors. I've never been to an ice cream shop with all these filipno flavors. We would definitely come back.“

“Great service and Great product.“

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“Was so excited to see a Handel's arrive in my town and they delivered! My favorite flavor the blueberry cobbler was fantastic especially on that waffle cone. Maddy the wonderful woman who took my order was super kind and a joy to talk to, she even pointed out some other future favorite flavors I will try my next visits!“

“Cheap and delicious! 5 types of yogurt ice cream with 4 toppings for $5.50. A pretty reasonable dessert considering the current inflation! The fruit toppings are fresh. I couldn't really tell the difference between the original and cheesecake?The staff was kind and provided great service.“

“I thought the reviews of the shop were high and good.
I asked for Deep Pride OREO.
I was sure that something other than this would be recommended.
However, it costs about $15 for a pack of five.
I thought I had failed
Around the third bite, I started to feel the deliciousness of a donut.
This may be true for Japanese people who have eaten red bean paste.
It's not worth coming here to eat.
I think you should order something else.“

“Love Yogurtland! Great place to take my kids to enjoy a tasty treat.“

“The only place in the USA known to me to have authentic Italian ice cream. It's super delicious!!“

“Great value of frozen yogurt“

“Delicious and very good Coustumer service. Thanks to the staff for the great service ��“
