50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Manhattan Beach

“I have lived in Manhattan Beach for over 20 years and yesterday I had maybe the best customer service experience EVER in my life. I was not able to get the young man’s name but I have this picture here that he let me take. This young man was so warm and hospitable towards everyone who walked in the store. He was very patient with me and all my sampling requests which was probably annoying because I came at a busy time, but his positive attitude never wavered. His smile lit up my day and made my ice cream taste even sweeter than it already was! I loved my experience with that young man so much that I might only get ice cream from salt in straw from now on! He also gives the best scoops, filled with a lot of joy… and ice cream as well, so request him if you can. Hopefully he is working there the next time I go, so that I can get his name and thank him for his incredible service. Salt and Straw, you found a good one.“

“I always come to this Handels and the service is always great ! We went today to order quarts for the house ! And we were attended by DAVID ! He was so friendly and kind! Having to scoop up those quarts didn’t look so easy! But he did so with a smile ! I felt so bad because we ordered a few , but he was really happy to attend us!“

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

“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“

“I had the most amazing experience at Ben Scoops! 🍦✨ I stumbled upon this gem while looking for a treat for my grandsons after discovering that Kansha Creamery was closed on Wednesdays. They decided on strawberry ice cream in a cone, and let me tell you, it was a hit! 🍓❤️

But I couldn't resist treating myself too! I ordered the pistachio and green tea ice cream, and wow, it was a flavor explosion! 🌰🍵 The pistachio was rich and creamy, while the green tea was perfectly refreshing. I honestly can't believe I hadn't tried Ben Scoops sooner!

Now, it's officially my go-to place for ice cream on Wednesdays! 🎉 If you're looking for delicious flavors and a fun atmosphere, Ben Scoops is the place to be! 🍧🙌“

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

“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.“

“This is a delightful local shop, serving delicious Gelato and sandwiches. There is limited seating inside and outside adding a special energy to this location. Grab a Gelato cup or cone and enjoy a stroll checking out the neighboring businesses and stores.“

“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“

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

“The cookies and cream ice cream is so good! They also give you a generous portion. The ice cream doesn’t melt easily even when we were eating outside in a hot weather. I have to mention they have a lot of vegan options too! And lastly, the staff is really nice which makes the overall experience really great. 😊“

“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 !“

“Honeymee in Gardena is a sweet little spot that’s definitely worth a visit! The serving area is small, but the quality more than makes up for it. The signature honey topped ice cream is absolutely delicious, simple, creamy, and perfectly sweet. I tried the Passion Fruit and Chocolate Dream, and both were amazing in their own way. They also offer lattes and other treats, so there’s something for everyone. A great stop if you’re craving something cool and satisfying!“

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!“

“Me and the family decided to stop here on our last day of vacation and it was amazing! I had the boss burger and I can confidently say it was one of the BEST burgers I have ever had. The friendliness of the workers was awesome too, highly recommended eating here.“

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“I love this location besides frozen yogurt they have a variety of other options that you can pick from. It’s very economical compared to big brand frozen yogurt chains. We got three frozen yogurt with three toppings each along with an açai bowl and it came to be under $20. The lady was very professional and nice. We will be returning again. Great customer service. Thank you“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Must say every dessert I tried here has been very tasteful,and I was very comfortable every visit. I plan to go on dates here 😂 and can't wait to bring my grand children here. This is definitely a place to create beautiful memories, I highly recommend. The ice-cream is perfectly prepared and you can taste the love put into it...“

“Amazing ice creams!!!

I was walking by after dinner and saw some people who were eating ice creams and feel like it is what I need right now, I looked for ice cream shops nearby and found Jeni’s. It was a really good ice cream shop. They have a wide variety of flavors, and I got one scoop of Strawberry Pretzel Pie and one scoop of Texas Sheet Cake. Both were absolutely delicious but I like strawberry more - the second one was a little bit sugary for me. The flavor in both was rich and creamy, and it felt very fresh, so it tasted really good. I really enjoyed it.

I ordered ice cream in a waffle cone, and the portion was pretty generous, bigger than I expected. The waffle was pretty good, not dry but crispy. The prices are reasonable for that amount of ice cream.

The place itself is nice inside, looks like regular ice cream spot. There are no tables inside but you can find some on the street. The staff was friendly and helpful, she told me about different flavors and let me sample.

Overall, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The ice cream is amazing, I really enjoyed it, and I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more flavors.“

“NO MEMBERSHIP FEE TO JOIN ILLUMINATI), I promised Jackson Peter that I am going to share my testimony on how he finally helped me to join to Great Illuminati brotherhood, I was deeply strangled up by“

“best strawberry ice cream“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Great service and Great product.“

“Snow is super delicious and the yogurt is recommended. I never tried it but the snow went there every two or three days, with friends or family, I ordered almost all the flavors but my favorite was the strawberry one or the coffee one or the birthday cake one. .“

“Wonderful Customer Service!! It's about time we have a new Ice Cream Shop in this neighborhood! A nice spot to visit for afternoon, evening or after dinner sweet treat. Here is proof that there are still some good things happening in South L.A., and Jayis Ice Cream Shop is one of them. Come check ' em out, you'll love it!! :-) :-* <3“

“You know this place is great when there is always Aline. Yes the line goes fast as your getting a tasty ice cream . There are afew tables to sit at too“

“"If you like my photos and comments, please like them and let me know."
I highly recommend the ice cream shop in The Point business district.
1. Made from plant milk, it is healthier and has lower calories.
2. There are many kinds of flavors. I asked the clerk to introduce them. The store clerk took the trouble to let me try the food, which was a great experience.
Finally, the ice cream itself was very delicious.
I like the more sour flavor, and the other one is pistachio.
Both balls taste great, you can try them.“
