50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Monrovia

“Best handmade ice cream ever!!!! Love the Taro and Ferrero Roche ice cream“

“Yummy❣️❣️❣️staff is phenomenal ❣️❣️❣️“

“Had a late-night hankering for a donut, so I decided to stop by the corporate donut chain since it was right down the street. Big mistake. Not only was I ignored when I walked in, but I had to place my order on one of those kiosks (*shudders*). I decided to make the drive to AM Donut, which is a local mom & pop shop. The nice lady at the counter greeted me warmly and had my fresh donuts ready to go. Prices were reasonable and the donuts were fantastic. Skip the corporate chain and support your local mom & pop shop like AM Donut.“

“Pinkberry is my one stop shop for frozen yogurt. I like that they have copious amount of toppings and flavors. Indoor vibe was welcoming. Similarly, it’s neat, organized and well lit. Staff were ebullient and very helpful. They were following health protocol. After a minute of deliberation and much needed thought as I look at the menu. I ordered a medium size cup of pomegranate flavor with fruits, mochi and chocolate chip as toppings. I truly enjoyed my Pinkberry pomegranate yogurt. Overall, I had a good order experience and I highly recommend this Pinkberry location.“

“Delicious ice cream and customer service 👍🏻“

“My most favorite burgers! Can't beat the value. A small fry or onion ring can feed 2-3 people. Homemade ranch and thousand island. Burgers are big and completely worth the price. Be aware the burgers come with 2 types of onions. Blt's are also huge. Family owned. Been coming here since I was a child. 40+years of consistency.“

“I just wanna say how much of an amazing person Kurt is, he was outstanding. Provided the best customer service and went above and beyond his standards. He was the only person working and still managed to provide quality service. 10/10 would go back to this cold stone again just because of Kurt.“

“Mango Sago and condensed milk were by far my favorite. Each cup comes with 3 toppings (and a slurry of unique options). The staff was super accommodating (and friendly) and let my family and I try all the flavors. They also sell pints of previous flavors in a freezer by the register.“

“Staff are awesome!! Yogurt is very yummy!“

“I'm not sure what the employees name is but he showed me a true act of kindness! It was 108 degrees outside and I was dangerously close to having a heat stroke! I was about to black out when I got to the window and the Young man working blessed me with a cup and a bottle of cold water! He showed a total stranger (a homeless stranger at that) that there is still kindness and kind people in the world! So please whoever should read this, go and support this business! We need more people like that young man in our community“

“OMG, I just visited this place La Garrafa MX? nieces de garrafa reminded me so much of my mother's home town Cocula Jalisco Mx. I tried several flavors, coffee, passion fruit, dragon fruit, nuez, mama, and last but not least pistachio. wow the flavors were amazing I am definitely going back and tried all the other flavors of nieve de garrafa.“

“brought back memories, next time chocolate dip cone 😋🍦“

“Handel's is an excellent place to get great tasting ice cream. I prefer, however, their Hollywood location over this one in Pasadena. At least in Hollywood, you can taste test. The size of the ice cream scoops were smaller here and merrier than at the Hollywood one we frequent. Overall, still a positive, yummy experience. ✨“

“Crazy how Google sent me an email to review this place because that was actually my goal! I love the ice cream! It’s one of my number one spots to go to and sometimes, most times, I get ice cream cravings late at night! Yes, I had one of those days this past week so I decided to go around 9:00 pm to get some ice cream! Mind you I live a bit out of the way and they close at 10pm! Did I feel bad? Yes, but I was dying, I’m a big foodie(fatty)… anyway that’s besides the point! The guy asks if we want samples and of course my little one does ask, but as she’s tasting her sample and deciding what she wants I decided to just ask for what I want! My daughter decided she wanted another sample, so we ask! This guy serving us gets annoyed and tells us that next time we need to ask for all the samples we want before ordering! I get it but also, I was doing you a favor by putting my order in while we waited for her to make up her mind! Also, there was no line behind us so I don’t really know why the need to be annoyed with us was! I’m sorry, I won’t ever go late again, but be mindful that your customers are the ones who keep your business alive! I worked in an environment like that and yea the last customers were always hard because you just wanna clean and go home ! The attitude of some of the people working here needs to change! Sometimes that drives customers away no matter how great the product is!“

“My little kid love this....😋“

“I'm in love with the chocolate chip cookies here they are so delicious I can't explain the level. lol the ice cream is amazing! especially the cookie monster! heavenly delight!“

“Amazing for a Friday afternoon“

“Amazing flavor choices and delicious cookies!“

“I had a banana split with 3 different flavors of ice cream it was so yummy fresh ice cream I live in west Covina I'd drive to fosselmans just to have an ice cream“

“The bolo bao ice cream sandwich was the bomb! I had it with ube ice cream. The garlic fries - lots of fresh garlic with a side of bomb lemon aoili and house sauce! The best! Passionfruit green tea was perfect for the hot weather! So cute inside too! It's a smaller space and a one man show. Everything is made fresh so please be patient - it's worth the wait! Great service! It's a hidden gem to the right of BofA in the plaza. — at CrispyandFluffed.“

“This place is a must stop if you are within an hour’s drive. Fire Bunny is sweet milk drink with creme brûlée topping. And Thai iced tea soft serve served with fresh hot boba?! Yes please!“

“This is my favorite place to get cookies from! Every visit is a great experience, the cookies are always fresh, delicious, and consistently hit the spot. On top of that, the customer service is always amazing. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel valued every time you walk in. It’s definitely my go-to spot whenever I’m craving something sweet!“

“Delicious homemade pies! I've tried the key lime, berry chess, and the carrot cake, and all were so good. They also have a lot of unique candy (including several Swedish candy options) and other gifty things for anyone who loves sweets or cute stuff. Great shop!“

“Absolutely love their ice cream. Best service and friendliest staff!“

“If you offered me this ice cream 1 million times I would accept it 1 million times… It is so delicious. I got the pure milk flavor with black sugar drizzle, PERFECTION. I taste tested the dole whip, and it was also delicious. The texture of the soft serve is exactly what I was looking for. 100% will be back. The staff was so nice and they even have a free topping bar… Really cute little shop!!“

“I love coming here for years ever since I was a kid, love the great service and good laughs I get when I’m here. Best Shakes and ice cream around good priced and also refreshing water and water supplies. Recommend coming when you craving a refreshing tasty shake. I always try to bring someone whenever I have a chance so they know to come.“

“I went in on Tuesday, the new owners were in back of me. I was telling the cashier how disappointed my daughter was, we came in on monday and it was closed. Well the new owners, gave me a couple cookies for free. That was so awesome of them. My daughter was so happy and she said" Thank you so much!"“

“Came over because I saw that they offered a lot of the Asian store ice creams, but there weren’t that many and it was per piece. They do have a good selection for wholesale ice cream. So if you want to buy in bulk this is a good place. Otherwise the prices are the same as if you go to an Asian market like 99 ranch, Fukuya or duo duo. They do have snacks and candies too.“

“delicious choices of yogurt and very friendly. & very clean. will definitely be back“

“Los helados están buenísimos 😋“

“Love the double scoop sundae 😍“

“I wish they made Thrifty ice cream with out sugar for diabetes. The could make it with stevia, malitol or erithratol.“

“I think this is my first ice cream shop I’ve ever reviewed. What I loved about it was the durian ice cream. The flavor is strong enough that it’s distinctly durian, without being over powering, or too sweet. And the coconut waffle cone was fresh. The server was cool too :). Would recommend 👍👍“

“Sus nieves rikisimas los tostilocos para chuparse los dedos se las recomiendo!“

“Great place for ice cream.“

“Everything is súper good!!!! 😋“

“My children’s new I love this place!“

“If dessert could float, it would taste like Nobibi in West Covina☁️✨This spot is pure pastel daydream — where every drink and treat looks straight out of a cloud!

I tried the Ube Cloud, a creamy mix of ube and milk that’s rich, velvety, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, just that deep ube flavor with a silky finish💜

Then came the Dream Cloud, and it really lives up to the name — topped with cotton candy, corn flakes, Oreo crumbles, strawberry sprinkles, and toasted marshmallow. Every bite is a mix of textures: crunchy, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth soft🍓🍪💭

It’s a dessert experience that feels like stepping into a dream — light, playful, and so aesthetic you almost don’t want to eat it (but trust me, you will)🫶🏼“

“I recently came into the shop and was surprised by how fast they attended me! I would assume cutting fruit to the order would take longer, but they made it look easy. The crepes were delicious! Forsures will be having them when I go back to El Monte! 8.1.23“

“My favorite is the cherry ice cream (beso de angel). But they don't just sell ice cream. They serve fresh drinks, the Maracuyá (passion fruit) is super delicious…!!! They also have delicious sandwiches, many Mexican snacks and above all excellent service!! 100%recommended..!!!“

“Very good very goood djjdjdjeiwjsjejieieueej“

“Thank you, Norah, for making our birthday cake extra special! She is incredibly talented at cake decorating and was so creative with the design. She even helped us add the birthday message beautifully along the side of the cake, which was such a nice touch.“

“El mejor lugar sin dura alguna.. me siento como en familia cuando voy.. los precios son excelentes y muy buen sabor. Los mejores en la área“

“Ordered a vanilla caramel chunk single scoop with a cone to rest from walking around the mall. The ice cream was thick and creamy, and the flavors were great. The waffle cone was warm which was a nice surprise, and workers were friendly. This spot is a great place for a fast and tasty sweet treat!“

“I’ve been going here for more than 6 years now. It’s an amazing place to enjoy some icy desserts alone or with kids for a good price. The environment is really clean and the staffs are always friendly. I love the variety of flavors(new ones are constantly added) and how they always provide sample cups to ru before buying. Most of the time, parking is easy to find too. 10/10 recommend“

“I wish I would of have taken some pics before I devoured my food 😬I was craving some elotes and raspados but did not wanted to drive to LA,my sister told me about his place and was a little hesitant to go because my experience at La Michoacana in Monrovia and Duarte Was really bad with rude people and over charge items.I was there today and got a esquite,nieve de fresa,raspado and a few more items.and everything was delicious!!!!! The raspado de vainilla was soooo good and the elote had such a good flavor.the girls working there were all polite and provided great customer service,the prices were great I honestly thought I would be paying $40 or so for my order but was shocked when my total was only $22 definitely my new favorite spot to get Mexican chucherias🤭“

“My fave frozen yogurt spot in Pasadena. Try the new butter pecan light ice cream!!“

“Wonderful place for everyone to gather“

“Afters has been my favorite ice cream place ever since moving to Cali back in 2018. I've tried multiple flavors, but keep coming back to the Salty O's (as a milkshake, and often with some caramel thrown in). I've tried and enjoyed the Ube Brownie, cookie monster, dark matter brownie batter, and the milk & cereal.

All solid tasty options that I would get again. For a friend's bday 🎂 I plan on getting them an Afters ice cream cake.

If you haven't already, drop by and give them a try.“
