50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Marina Del Rey

“Not a first timer to Penguin, but first one in this outlet. There’s no sit-down place probably being the drawback, but the attendant was super nice. Besides, it’s great bang for the buck given the sizable serving size.

We got the medium froyo, mix of peanut butter and original tart, which you could opt for side by side or swirl. As for toppings, they charged $1.95 for each 2 toppings but they’re very generous with the portion. We tried cookie dough, cheesecake, pb chips, and chocolate sauce.

Taste wise I’d say it’s decent. Creamier than I expected, but certainly no complaints.“

“Pinkberry drop in and it has been a bit since I have had Pinkberry. This was a rekindling moment. Pinkberry yogurt is made with real nonfat milk and yogurt with fresh fruit toppings that are hand-cut daily. Let's jump right into this review.

This location is in Marina Del Rey inside a bustling shopping center. A few shops and plenty of food options.

Things to know -

** Single swirl or side-by-swirls offered. **

1. Variety of flavor options, which but the OG Sweet/Tart & Pomegranate is always available. Different Seasons bring different flavors. Currently- Summer Melon Crush is available! During my visit we tried Blueberry Lavender and it was really good!!!

2. Variety of toppings offered.

3. Light and low calories if you don't add all the sweet toppings.

4. Reasonable prices.

5. They offer ice bags for yogurt you are taking to-go. I really like this because your yogurt stays cold on the way home.

6. Excellent customer service.

7. Dining in, go right ahead. A few tables and chairs inside. Cute decor. You want some vitamin D, dine outside, location has plenty of outdoor seating in the shopping center.

During peak hours this shopping center is full of folks and cars. Parking can be a challenge. Just something to note.

Pinkberry is light and refreshing - great treat all year long.“

“They say it used to exist in Korea, but is now almost gone. The ice cream is mixed once on a cold stone plate and then served. There are two flavors to choose from in the large size, and you can mix them or serve them separately. Chocolate was better than vanilla.“

“Fantastic gelato! Honestly better than many gelatos I’ve tried in Italy. You can tell that each flavor is homemade and made with high quality ingredients. Apparently the fruit flavors contain more than 50% of the actual fruit! We had the watermelon, brownie, and pistachio and loved every bite.

The owners are lovely and we also got to meet their cute corgis. Seriously could not recommend this place more; if I lived nearby I would come here all the time.“

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

“Super unique ice cream shop. Very nice to frequent specifically in the summer but honestly I e had it while it’s raining and it’s just as amazing. 10/10 don’t want to recommend because lines will get longer when I go, but I’ll wait. Do frequent. Especially if you’ve never had it. You’ll be hooked.“

“Agua fresca and ice cream so good,variety of 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.“

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

“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 !“

“Definitely Recommend This Place 👌“

“100% vegan, Indonesian-inspired flavors I’d never seen before, nothing generic, nothing “just vanilla with oat milk.” Coconut cream base gives it this rich, unique texture. Small-batch, clearly made with care, and the space has this cool cave-like feel that makes it worth the visit on its own. A must if you think you’ve already had the best vegan ice cream. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-16“

“Seaport, Boston location. Staff MADE SURE I was picking the flavor that I really wanted. They wanted me to feel like a welcome tourist. Mission Accomplished.“

“The flavors are amazing!!!!! Pandan coconut waffle (vegan), mango sticky rice (vegan) and ube milk crunch. Sooooo delicious“

“Delicious and unique flavors“

“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.“

“Pink rose ice cream for the win!!!“

“Fell in love with each and every bite of my crêpe. NomZ 😋“

“This is the coolest gelato spot in Weho and the customer service is impeccable! They literally have everything you could ever want from ice cream to pasta and protein shakes - and all of the flavors were SO GOOD! Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed, Frank was so kind and helpful to us!“

“VL finally arrived in Beverly Hills, we’re very happy! Place needs better signage so more people know it’s here. Inside you’ll find some of the best ice cream in town- great flavors in rich fresh ice cream without too much butter fat that can leave a coating your mouth. No, this ice cream is superior with amazing flavors that not everyone else offers (Honeycomb, Earl Grey Tea). This is premium ice cream experience that taste and feels just right!“

“Delicious ice cream and best red bean paste! We can’t wait to go back!“

“This is legit Italian gelato! The pasticcio flavor is one of the best that I’ve had since I was in Italy. I also love the cute name, Mimi! I’d highly recommend giving this ice cream shop a try! Worth it!! Also, kiddo approved!“

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

“so fresh, well done boys! so much yum, heaps of yum.“

“I had another great experience at Bacio di Latte! Frank was incredibly helpful and provided excellent customer service. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure I had a great experience. Thank you, Frank for going above and beyond! I’ll definitely be coming back for the best gelato ever ❤️“

“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.“

“Easily some of the best ice cream you will ever have! Handel's makes their ice cream fresh daily, and you can absolutely taste the difference—it is incredibly rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Their menu is massive, so there’s always something new to try, but you can’t go wrong with the classics or their seasonal specials. The portions are very generous for the price, and the service is always fast and friendly. It’s an absolute must-visit every single time I’m craving something sweet!“

“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. 😊“

“Absolutely delicious gelato! The texture was incredibly smooth and creamy, and the flavors tasted fresh and authentic without being overly sweet. The staff was friendly, the shop was clean and inviting, and there were plenty of great flavors to choose from.“

“Bacio di Latte is hands down one of the best places in Beverly Hills for authentic gelato. Every flavor tastes incredibly fresh, rich, and made with high-quality ingredients. Whether you're a fan of classic favorites or want to try something new, there's something for everyone.

The shop is bright, welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and happy to offer samples if you're having a hard time deciding. It's the perfect place to stop after dinner, while shopping, or anytime you're craving a great dessert.

If you're in Beverly Hills and love exceptional gelato, Bacio di Latte is definitely worth a visit. I'll gladly be back again and again.“

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

“great place for ice cream“

“I've been to a LOT of ice cream shops and this may be my new favorites. The flavors are absolutely amazing. Honey lavender is like the perfect flavor. It's so soft and smooth and pleasant. All the flavors are great it was really hard to choose. Very friendly staff too :)“

“The mint chip ice cream was absolutely delicious and so refreshing.
The flavor was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced.
The shop itself was beautiful, charming, and very nicely decorated.
Such a lovely spot in Santa Monica — love love love!“

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

“Delicious ice cream and best red bean paste! We can’t wait to go back!“

“i have been going there since i was like 9 and now i take my kids. we live in Idaho now but whenever we go to California we have to stop here for their amazing burgers!! great friendly customer service“

“Cute little shop in a busy shopping plaza. Parking can be tough, especially weekend or evening. Friendly service and fast turnaround since not beeesy.
Got Honey Affogato & Iced Honey Tea.
Both are delish, especially the ice cream with coffee and honey...soo tasty and delicious.“

“Really enjoyed Salt & Straw!

My friend got Sea Salt, and I ordered Strawberry Honey Balsamic and Sea Salt in a cup.
The portions were huge, and everything was delicious.

I also loved that you can sample the flavors before ordering.
My favorite was definitely the Sea Salt!

The shop was pretty quiet when we visited, so ordering and pickup were quick and easy.
Highly recommended!“

“I love the ice cream and desserts at this shop.“

“This is MY FAVORITE plant based ice cream in Los Angeles! Not only are they healthy, but super delicious and creamy. Normally when you get plant based ice creams in other places they are not as creamy and not using premium ingredients like they do. I’ve been their customer for a while now and I’ve tried different places but I keep coming back here. I can enjoy a delicious ice cream and not feel guilty after. Worth the try!“

“First time at Salt & Straw on Manhattan Beach and we loved it! Incredible ice cream, delicious flavors, and a great vibe near the water. Though portions seem small and pricy it was a fantastic stop for our group—highly recommend checking it out!“

“Taste special and the color is pretty earth“

“I came here to say, I have never heard of this brand before but last night while shopping at my local Jay C (kroger), I stumbled across the Gluten free Gooey Butter cake ice cream and i’m so very glad I did!!! it’s delicious!!!! It’s not often us Gf people get to have cake and I actually don’t care for ice cream. I rarely eat it but that has all changed thanks to Jeni’s. I love it so much I might have ate half of it in one sitting….we listen and we don’t judge 😝. A+++++++++. Please don’t stop making this!“

“We had a great experience at Bacio di Latte! The gelato was absolutely delicious, and there were so many different flavors to choose from. The staff was very friendly and let us try several flavors before we decided. Everything was fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!“

“The ice cream is extremely good and the owners are for the community I've had the pleasure or working with them and also had a few meetings in their establishment it's very well put together and welcoming...“

“hidden gem!!! Fernando is amazing. the nieve (shaved ice) is delicious. i also got a juice with fresh carrots, ginger, apple, and beets. he juiced it fresh to order and it was soooo delicious.
