50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Placentia

“Suzy's Freeze is a true hidden gem and a Placentia icon! After serving the community for more than 47 years, it's easy to see why this old-fashioned mom-and-pop shop has remained a local favorite. The nostalgic atmosphere takes you back in time, and the friendly service makes you feel right at home.

The desserts are absolutely delicious. Their soft-serve ice cream is creamy and flavorful, the hand-spun milkshakes are made the old-fashioned way, and the ice cream sundaes are outstanding.

It's refreshing to see a family-owned business continue to thrive while delivering great quality and excellent customer service. If you're looking for a classic dessert and small-town charm, Suzy's Freeze is a must-visit. I highly recommend supporting this local business; I know I'll be coming back again and again!“

“Small space, delicious italian ice. I'm allergic to milk so I'm limited on my options (see: can't have the custard), but man oh man do I love coming here.
The entire staff is great whether they're busy or slow. It's no wonder they sell their stuff all around, you can't beat it their high quality Italian Ice. So much flavor without the weird iciness you get at many other places.“

“This ice cream is Amazing!! I grew up in Oxford Ct at the farm but this is taste exactly the same!!!!!so Happy I found you on our way To Disneyland!!!❤️“

“Service is always great, not a quick stop. Expect to be there for a bit longer as service is not rushed and you get a designated person to assist you throughout your whole transaction.
We drive to this location from 2 cities over as it’s truly the best quality. You can tell the ingredients are natural ingredients as they claim they are!“

“Showed up to this location just before closing and Evan was the gentleman who assisted us with choosing the right flavours we needed.
We had a very efficient and pleasant conversation regarding a lot of great ideas that could increase popularity and increase profits. I hope corporate or head office executives would hear a lot more ideas from their front line customer service staff. 10’s across the board for this location especially for having an employee like Evan that keeps it simple and real.“

“Friendly staff. Summer time on a Friday afternoon is quiet. He said they get busy after school since there is a high school nearby. Drinks all good. I got my regular jasmine milk tea with boba and Crystal boba half sweet. Good size and great drink. Lots of parking. It’s not a big place. Just a few seats. Would come back. Put your number in for rewards. Buy 9 get 1 free.Pricing is awesome. 4 big drinks for $25. And 2 of us got 2 toppings!!“

“I highly recommend Joe's Italian Ice WOW taste sooo good and refreshing! We ordered the " Joe-Latti" Strawberry yummy and the line was around the corner long but only took 15 minutes AMAZING FAST!🎉“

“Probably one of the most delicious ice creams ever. They have about 40-50 flavors and very unique variates. The ice cream was creamy and just the right consistency and sweetness. I can’t wait to go back to try the other flavors.“

“Got intrigued with their fresh fruits yogurt drinks so I tried the purple rice yogurt drink. Tastes amazing, not overly sweet. Also got their durian ice cream and omg it tastes like real durian, not the chemical taste. The male staff is friendly and takes his time to explain the products and offers ice cream samples. Wish we had one in my city!“

“Todo muy rico👌 y excelente servicio las muchachas que atienden muy amables ❤️“

“If you are looking for a sign to treat yourself to some ice cream, this is it! I stopped by on Tuesday, June 30, after a brutally long, utterly exhausting work weekend and workday. Now, I am someone who constantly watches my sugar intake, so walking into a Salt & Straw has to be a very intentional decision for me. I was basically running on fumes and a dream, ready to make my cheat day count. That is when Joleena stepped in and saved the day.

Some people just scoop ice cream, but Joleena delivers straight-up joy. Her ability to connect with me went so far, and she completely turned my exhausting day around. We ended up having the best conversation talking about the Philippines, swapping stories, and she even gave me the inside scoop on her personal favorite flavor from the current series. Honestly, her willingness to genuinely bond with customers goes so far above and beyond just serving up dessert. It felt less like a transaction and more like catching up with a friend who just happens to hold the keys to all the best flavors.

Her exceptional service is truly something I will remember, and her warmth is the exact reason I will be making this my go-to location. Joleena, if you see this, thank you for being the highlight of my Tuesday! If management is reading this, give this girl a raise because she is an absolute gem. I will definitely be back for more!“

“Absolutely the best freshly made ice cream I’ve tasted!! I would rate their ice cream 11/10 An overload of pleasure for your taste buds!!“

“this is the best shaved ice i’ve ever had. The shaved ice literally melts into your mouth and the moment me and my cousins tasted it, we devoured it in less than 10 minutes. The watermelon was so flavorful and i’m definitely gonna go here again.“

“Place is awesome, great dairy free options too for vegan eaters. Shop’s theming is hilarious and took me right back to high school. Staff is friendly and they have a stamp card program! Give them your money!“

“Love the different flavor combinations and friendly staff!!“

“Bruster's Real Ice cream 🍦 YoRbalida Very good 👍“

“Plenty of parking in this strip mall.
Easy to find. Upon entering was warmly greeted and was quickly served.
Clean, bright with professional staff.
It’s so delicious and almost guilt free!
What’s not to love?!“

“Love the coconut coffee and the mini sandwiches!“

“I am SO glad we booked this company for my son’s bday party. They were on time, super friendly and the selection was great. This was a hit and even the parents were excited about it.“

“Always good treats on warm days. You can never go wrong.“

“Love this place!!! So unique and one of a kind! The gelato is so fresh and they make creative designs for kids!“

“I went in with my cousin on a hot Thursday around 4pm to get some sweet treats to cool us down! The place was clean and had a pretty mural going around the whole wall! The menu was straight to the point and everything looked delicious. The worker who helped us out that day was Daniela and she was the best! She was very helpful in every way and I loved her energy, it made me want to be her friend!

The ice cream is a little on the pricier side but it's fun to watch them make the ice cream right in front of you! We got 2 ice cream's their mini dubai chocolate pancakes and a nutella crepe. If you have a sweet tooth, you should for sure check this place out!

Parking is shared in a plaza with other food spots and I heard that it gets busy around the afternoon, thankfully we found a parking spot right away!

The quality of the ice cream was definitely good and it was creamy and surprisingly not overly sweet! They also do not have a public restroom!

Overall gave this place a 4/5 stars only because of the prices!“

“We all scream for ice cream!! What's not to love about Ghirardelli ice cream at Disney's California Adventure? Well, except for the price. But whenever I have a sweet tooth or need a cold treat, I can rely on this establishment's classic and unique offerings. They are known for the many sundaes, shakes, hot cocoa, chocolate treats, gifts, coffee, and more!

My recent visits have been for the seasonal sundaes, like the Magical Hot Fudge Sundae with Mickey ear waffle cookies dipped in chocolate. I've also enjoyed the coffee drinks and shakes.

The staff have been kind and make your orders with care and promptness. There are plenty of tables and seating around San Fransokyo Square. If you are a Magic Key holder, enjoy using your discount here.

I miss the days when they used to give free chocolate samples when you entered. However, I'm looking forward to another treat here in the future.“

“I’m surprised this place doesn’t have thousands of reviews! This is my favorite spot in Disneyland!! The dole whip is incomparable!!! The service is pretty fast and good! I would highly recommend ordering ahead on the app!“

“They have a huge menu up to like 60 items! They have all kinds of ice creams, natural juices, and so much more! Great place for a snack and dessert. and I love how it reminds me of Mexico! You won't regret coming! I highly recommend this location!“

“Stopped in with my boys and though we generally have good customer service at most Cold Stones with a couple of exceptions a while back at the Garden Grove location on Chapman, Stephanie provided outstanding customer service from the minute we walked in until the minute we walked out. It wasn't a surprise to find out that she was part of the management team when I asked. Seems that you provide a great example to your teammates.“

“We rented an ice cream cart for a wedding, and it was a hit. The setup was easy, and it came filled with amazing treats. Everyone loved it, and it made the day extra special.“

“Very yummy cookies! I came to grab the Olivia Rodrigo cookie, and now I want more cookies. I like how service is fast, and you can watch them make the cookies in front of you! They don’t accept cash here, by the way. They only seem to have kiosks.“

“The southern banana pudding is creamy, extravagant and tasty. Tasty. I also tried the pumpkin ice cream. It was okay. You could use some more creaminess and warm spices like cinnamon. This is my first time at this establishment. It is a walk up window. There's a couple tables outside but there's no real seeding otherwise.“

“I don’t know what it is, but I absolutely love their cheddar filled fish“

“This was the most delicious mangonada I've had in my life along with customer service that felt like true hospitality!!! I got it with maracuya and mango ice cream topped with cucumbers, mango, and the guy that made it gave me strawberries on the side. This is a really clean liquor store with a paleteria/ice cream counter. There’s no seating but Mark (the guy that works here) gave me his office chair and I just sat in the corner and enjoyed my treat. It melted a bit and he also gave me hand sanitizer and paper towels. I love this man and I loved my mangonada.“

“Love the coconut flavor!“

“I got the Green smoothie with oat milk base and it really hit the spot. Service and staff is so friendly and they even offered some samples (sugar cane juice and Broken Heart). Definitely will be back to get the Broken Heart smoothie, it was soo good! Friend got the PB acai and she loved it as well. New favorite spot and can't wait to stop by again!“

“I love that it's never super crowded when I go in, a helper/cashier always comes to greet me within a few seconds, the vibe is always nice and chill. I love the large varieties of cookies there and they're large! Every cookie and small pie has been absolutely delish! I just had a small key lime pie this past weekend that SO good!“

“Never had a bad experience here - friendly service from the lady behind the counter today, she quickly helped 2 people ahead of me, always a lot of flavors to pick from. Can't go wrong with Golden Spoon, especially when 7 months pregnant ?“

“Had a great experience at Crumbl Cookies. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the rotating cookie menu keeps things exciting every visit. I love that they sometimes mix in pastries and cake-style treats too—it adds a fun twist and gives you something new to try each time“

“Best yogurt in town. Staffs really friendly . They normally have new flavors for us to try that’s the most exciting thing cuz I love trying new flavors lol... 😋😋 😋😋yum yum ....“

“Overall, I would give this Crumbl location 5 stars! The cookies are very tasty. My only criticism is that the cookies are a bit overpriced. Crumbl is definitely worth a try for those craving a delicious and premium treat! The milk chocolate chip cookie is a classic and a favorite!“

“ooh ya...love the banana split...and on one day discount if you bring one!!“

“Brusters is the best. Always. Ice cream is delicious. Try some of their more exotic flavors… branch out a bit. But if you’re stuck on the tried and true favorites, you won’t go wrong here. Waffle cones are fresh and tasty. Service is always friendly and efficient.

What more can you want from an ice cream store? Enjoy.“

“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.“

“If your in the mood for a tasty treat whether it's sour or sweet or even salty, like chmoy with tajin, or fruity with ice cream and caramel, and your up to it late in the evening then you need to try this joint. Everything I've tried is so delish. My favorite though is the krazy apple.“

“Very clean, friendly staff and delicious frozen yogurt 😊!“

“crema con fresas...mi favorita“

“10/10 - I recommend The matcha float. It was really good and the matcha flavor was strong!😌“

“I ended up getting tostilocos for my first time last Wednesday it was really good and if u don’t like stuff on it u can ask them not to put it also my sons father got a strawberry smoothie really enjoyed it and the next day we went back and got two michelaguas lol those were to die for and got everyone’s attention at church asked us where we bought it cause it looked like a real beverage but good since it wasn’t alcoholic haha and then my sons father got a açaí bowl original kind my sons father said he’d get it again :) I was able to get a mini keychain plushie from the claw machine on my first try I got it XD picture is on here as proof“

“I NEVER get frozen bananas. However, when I saw the banoffee frozen banana, I knew I had to try it. It did NOT disappoint. It’s covered in white chocolate, caramel, and toffee bits. Five stars!!! Make sure to pull your hair back, I ended up having to rinse my hair out in the sink from the caramel.“

“it's my favorite place love it“

“You leave Disneyland tired with your kids and all you think about is a quick and delicious dinner that won't break the bank. This is the perfect place! Excellent service from the owner, great prices, villas, and tables outside the establishment to relax your feet after a fun-filled day. What better way to end the day than with a delicious pizza 🍕? They even provide plates, napkins, cheese, and chili so you can just enjoy.“

“I usually cycle through different boba shops to study at, but Nobibi has been my go-to for the past few months. The owner (I believe?) is very sweet and has my order and adjustments memorized, and service has always been quick whenever I go. Even if you’re not a boba person, the ice cream is delicious, too!

My favorites: the taro milk tea; red bean and taro ice cream“
