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.“

“This is some amazing Gelato! Small, but mighty type vibes. We were welcomed in with great vibes . This local mom and pop shop has some Gelato shipped in from Italy and it tastes like it. Really enjoyed their hazelnut and pistachio flavors. Def a great try!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Definitely Recommend This Place 👌“

“Best vegan ice cream in LA period. Really unlike anything else not only in LA but the rest of the country.. Super rich decadent and dense Indonesian coconut milk based flavors from heaven. Really a masterclass in culinary innovation. Passionfruit and Blue Yuzu are some of my favorites lately. But you really cant go wrong with any flavor they serve.. 3 locations as of now: Weho, Venice and Larchmont but West Hollywood is the best.“

“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.“

“Delicious and unique flavors“

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

“Absolutely delicious! I had the Nutella filled cake cone with cookies and cream“

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

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

“If you haven’t been to Bacio di Latte yet, consider this your sign to go immediately!
It was our very first time visiting, and the staff could not have been more amazing. The moment we mentioned it was our first visit, they completely showered us with kindness and the most welcoming, positive vibes. They were open to us trying out different flavors!
And oh my goodness... the gelato is absolutely spectacular! The taste is incredibly rich, authentic, and high-quality. Every single scoop was amazing.
Between the exceptional hospitality and the delicious treats, this has officially become a must-try place for us. We will absolutely be back for more!“

“Pink rose ice cream for the win!!!“

“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. 😊“

“Friendly, family-owned neighborhood delight. Everything from the gelato to the cannoli to the tiramisu is authentic and delicious. They now have food items, so you can go there for lunch or dinner, or as always it's a fantastic place to stop after dinner downtown (or any other time, as my daughter correctly insists) so save a bit of room for dessert.

I didn't see my favorite coffee flavored gelato in the display freezer last time, so I asked about it and found out they keep other flavors in the back freezer, so if you don't see what you want, just ask.“

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

“Truly the best tasting non-dairy ice cream I’ve ever had! Can’t choose a favorite flavor…they are all so delicious! Simple, healthy but delicious ingredients without the gums or other fillers that make other non-dairy ice creams take a toll on your body. And so many new flavors all the time. Really amazed how delicious they each are— pure alchemy! (Hope they expand locations to Venice.)“

“great place for ice cream“

“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.“

“Shout-out to the team at Salt & Straw.

I’m usually a creature of habit here. I know what I’m getting before I even arrive. I’ll sample the seasonal and the oddball flavors for fun, but nine times out of ten, I end up right where the tourists do. Honey Lavender on a sugar cone. Locked in. No notes.

This visit, I was sampling as usual when a team member offered me a flavor and thoughtfully let me know it contained trace amounts of alcohol. I appreciated the heads-up. I took the sample, said “thank you, that’s fine,” then jokingly added that I was only 92 days sober and chuckled. The look on her face was of nervousness. I immediately told her it was a joke, and she carried on with assisting me.

In hindsight, I felt a little bad for putting her in that moment, but what stood out was how professionally and kindly she handled it. She stayed composed, respectful, and warm the entire time.

That kind of response says a lot, not just about her, but about the team culture at this location.

Sampling here always feels welcoming, never rushed, never awkward, even when customers deliberately make things… momentarily awkward.

Consistent quality, great energy, and a team that clearly knows how to handle people with care. Much appreciated 🍦👑“

“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 !“

“Love that this place is open until 11pm. We were able to grab a treat after a show nearby at the Troubadour.

My party had gooey brownie, strawberry and salted caramel scoops. The waffle cones were delicious. Service was prompt and attentive. Seating area is located outside.

toppings are on offer with your scoops.

The taste is very creamy and smooth and rich.

Give this place a try if you are in search of a sweet treat, you will not be disappointed.“

“delicious. adorable highly recommend“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I want to handel's for my very first time today. I was very impressed with all the yummy flavors but more impressed with Chris and the customer service I received. Being that it was my first time there I had alot of questions about the variety of cones and all the different flavors and what was in each ice-cream. Chris was so patient and continue to smile as he answered all my questions and let me sample a couple flavors. Chris is really an asset to Handel's.“

“DELICIOUS vegan gelato!!!!! 🤤🤤 they had vegan dark chocolate, strawberry and raspberry. I mixed the dark chocolate and strawberry and it was so decadent. I want to go back!! Also they were not shy on offering samples which I love.“

“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 !“

“In the heart ♥️ of the beautiful downtown of Culver City Salt & Straw Is there waiting for you to go and taste they’re vegan ice cream 🍦 with fresh waffle cones 😋yummy . The place is nice,clean ,friendly staff and you get one hour free parking“

“Taste special and the color is pretty earth“

“My boyfriend and I are writing this review to support the employees at this store. We witnessed a customer yelling, cursing, and treating the staff with complete disrespect. As first time customers, we appreciated how professionally the employees handled the situation & prioritized safety.

We sincerely hope these employees are paid well because dealing with this level of entitlement & hostility takes a toll on anyone's mental well being, especially kind people who are simply trying to do their jobs. Standing for hours and dealing with different and difficult people is not a job anyone wakes up and is happy to take. Now a days people don’t want to deal with people.

This customer created an uncomfortable environment for everyone in the shop, yet the staff remained calm and respectful throughout.

To the manager. Girl we see you and appreciate your hard work, patience, and professionalism. You handled a difficult situation far better than many others would have. Don’t take your job too seriously YOU DID GREAT!“

“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!“

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“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!“

“So yummy and the people are super nice!“

“Tried the new ice cream flavor! It has a subtle hint of jasmine tea with a perfect overall balance, and it's not overly sweet, which I loved. Got it in a waffle cone for a change, and it was so thick, crispy, and satisfyingly crunchy. 🍦“

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

“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.“

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

“Probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had! I would recommend it everyone! Amazing flavors, add ins and the texture is the best!“

“Best dairy free ice cream I have had in my life. Honestly, just overall some of the best ice cream I’ve had in my life. As someone who now avoids dairy, I’m always bummed when a shop says they have dairy free and then it’s only sorbet. This place was 100% ice cream (well, I guess not, since it literally says “not ice cream” on their sign)!
There were 3 of us and between the samples and our choices, we pretty much tried everything. Every flavor was so perfect and creamy. Wasn’t too sweet or overpowering, but also wasn’t bland by any means. I’m visiting a friend and am only here for a few day. In a city with a billion choices, I am going back here over anywhere else before I head home. Awan-der if they will ever open one on AZ. Here’s hoping!“

“I was introduced to La Michoacana about a year ago and I’ve been going back ever since. I’m always greeted with a smile and the selection is amazing. My favorite is the Mangoneada. This place always has parking, is clean and there’s always a table to sit and enjoy.“
