50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Rancho Palos Verdes

“This is such a charming little gelato shop with a wonderful atmosphere. The space is beautifully decorated, and I loved that they even display and sell artwork, which gives the shop a unique and creative feel.

The staff wasn’t overly friendly and seemed a bit laid-back, but they were happy to offer samples and helped us choose our flavors.

The gelato itself was excellent. I ordered the pistachio and chocolate flavors, and both were rich, creamy, and full of flavor. They were so delicious that I’d gladly come back for them again.

One of the best things about this location is the setting. The views around this shopping center are beautiful, and it’s one of my favorite areas to visit. Grabbing a gelato and enjoying the scenery makes for a perfect outing.

My only suggestion would be to offer a few more gelato flavors, as I would have loved even more options to choose from.

Overall, a lovely spot with delicious gelato, a unique atmosphere, and a fantastic location. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.“

“After a nice hike down to the cove, this was a welcoming and cozy spot to grab a coffee and soak up the beautiful California coastal atmosphere of Terranea Hotel and Resort. I've stayed at the resort and played some golf there as well. Most trips include a visit to Sea Beans. Staff is A+.“

“After we got their pizza for the first time delivered to our home, we decided to come and dine in for lunch.

My wife and I came for lunch last week. We ordered 2 slices of their veggie pizza lunch combo which came with a salad drink and sandwich combo which also came with a drink and chips.

The guy at the counter was very professional and accommodating. He made excellent suggestions and offered us a freshly made pizza pie.

Everything was delicious for our first time dining in. We even got pizza delivered from here last night.
We love their marinara sauce! You can taste the herbal essence and they are generous with the amount they put on the pie. Crust is so good we eat the entire slice 🍕. Their salad is very good and while you're at it you may as well and treat yourself to any flavor of their gelato. So amazing.

This may be our new Pizza restaurant. Next up we will try their pasta 🍝 dishes.

Restaurant was clean, organized, excellent service, plenty of seating to sit down and enjoy the food.

Looks like you can come to watch sports too with large TV monitors in their dining area.“

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

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

“Owner is extremely kind and offers the best suggestions !
All the ice cream flavors are not too sweet and extremely flavorful. He also said that they use whole ingredients for the flavors.

Love love loveeee the durian one“

“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“

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

“We had the good fortune of stumbling across Moom Maam gelato when deciding on someone to cater our company's summer event. The flavors were delicious and many were options that you really can't find anywhere else. Their homemade waffle crisp was a surprise hit as well (and gluten free!), and with several vegan options, they were a caterer that truly could have a little something for people regardless of diet restrictions. And despite the whopping number of flavors they brought (15!!) the lines moved along at a good clip--managing to serve hundreds within 2 hours--and the portions were generous.“

“Great food and good ice cream 🍦“

“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.“

“buen servicio atenticion y calidad del Productos todos los empleados son 5 Estrellas bonito lugar“

“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.“

“todo muy rrico me encanta el agua de fresa y la mangoniada“

“Taste special and the color is pretty earth“

“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. 🍦“

“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“

“Creamery really rises to the cone-casion — pun intended

Creamery is a true Manhattan Beach institution. Generations of locals have ended beach days here, and it’s easy to see why. While the ice cream is excellent, the real star is the legendary ice cream sandwich—freshly baked cookies wrapped around generous scoops of ice cream. Simple, messy, and absolutely worth it.

The atmosphere is casual and friendly, with that classic Southern California beach-town charm. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime local, Creamery is one of those places that never seems to go out of style.

Pro tip: Order the ice cream sandwich, no questions asked. Then take the short walk to the pier or the Strand—it’s the Manhattan Beach tradition you didn’t know you needed.“

“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“

“I enjoyed walking in and being greeted and also the fact that I couldn't make my mind up he waited patiently and then made an amazing suggestion this will be our new spot can't wait to try everything and I mean everything today we tried the cookie monster rollie ice cream omg and two different tacos captain crunch and bisqoff omg amazing“

“Their selection of flavors...“

“This place is definitely under New management. I can tell the difference on my.previous visits. The new staff and service was excellent!
I’m very pleased with the cookies were so soft and fresh and looked incredible, the staff was really hospitable too. Thank you so much. I’m happy to see the changes.“

“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“

“My very own “DOUBLE RAINBOW 🌈!!!! Always amazing here!“

“Love this place!������� come here like two times a week!“

“Best sandwiches. Everything is delicious. Made to your liking. Custom made“

“Everything it’s good there!“

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

“For a small shop there is a lot of snacks along with a menu to view at what's offered. Some problems the place has is that its hidden within the street so it's easy to pass by it without knowing what's inside. Final problem is one lady makes and takes orders which is time consuming so a big order may take a long time depending how many are ordering.“

“Marsha was incredible. We were looking for someone who could provide all the dessert for our wedding, bring us something other than a traditional wedding cake experience, and also bring some extra flair to our big day. Marsha did all that and more. Our cake table was decorated so beautifully! She made the most delicious cupcakes of all different flavors for our guests to enjoy. She even made an ADORABLE cake topper for us that everyone raved about. In addition, Marsha made us a gorgeous, delicious, moist 3 layer cake , and she even was able to bring a ROLLED ICE cart too! People could not get over how cool it was to have rolled ice cream at our wedding, especially because Marsha had extra cupcakes to put in with the ice cream. She was so collaborative, easy to work with, and fun. Everything we asked her to do, she accommodate, often gently giving her sage advice along the way. We could not possibly recommend Marsha any higher than we do. She is absolutely incredible and soooo many people raved about their experience with her at our wedding. 10/10 for everything!!“

“Absolutely impeccable. The service is astounding. The ice cream is unique and phenomenal. Everything is done to excellence here. The owners really thought of a lot. Especially love how thoughtful they've been to train their staff to ask about specific allergies or dietary considerations with corresponding flavor taste tests and their tasting trio/quadruple options!! I cannot recommend it enough. So happy I tried it!! Not easily forgotten.“

“I feel bad for the one and only employee working there today who's coworker left her with no cookies baked and unable to fulfill the orders. She did the best she could and was apologetic and explained the lack of product. Need to have more than one person running a store like this.“

“Cappuccino, espresso, croissant, cornetto, are my favorites, but everything is fresh and delicious! Service and atmosphere is great! Alessandro got it right! Bravo!!“

“Went too FrenchTouch today in DEL AMO Mall !!!!!! Stop whatever you're doing and please come by! If you have never visited you are only missing out on the most delicious crepes ever made. Please Ask for ALIYAH as she is highly requested for her creative design and presentation. Leaving you with a Wow!!!! Unbelievable!!!! Ohhh My Goodness Experience!!!!“

“The Baseline: For a fast serve yogurt place, the frozen yogurt must be of good quality, the toppings must be varied and fresh, and the service must be efficient.

Food: Pinkberry as a chain has a good, consistent soft serve frozen yogurt. They have a good variety of flavors and the toppings are fresh and quality. The serving sizes are good and priced accordingly.

Service: The night we went we had great service and it was fast/efficient. The portion size served was really good.

Ambiance: This is a standard Pinkberry set up and the inside was clean and well kept. The outside area is well lit at night and felt to be a safe environment.“

“Best mango sorbet I have ever had, it’s a hidden gem because I wouldn’t have realized it’s worth coming here over the ice cream shop next door if it weren’t for passersby eating their sorbet. It’s made from real fruit and does not taste like there is added sugar (even though there may be). Will be coming back here every time“

“Enjoyed a healthy snack after a hard day’s work, having a good Sunday night with my best friend, Briana’s service was top of the line!“

“had a fantastic experience at Baskin-Robbins in Palos Verdes. Amira was incredibly attentive, kind, and respectful while helping me choose my ice cream. The shop itself is spotless, with both indoor and outdoor seating—perfect for families. The air conditioning inside is a big plus, and they offer a variety of payment options, including Mastercard, Visa, and cash. Plus, you can conveniently order online! It’s also a great spot for birthday cakes or customized treats. Highly recommend!“

“porque me gusta el yogurt con fruta y nuecez.“

“they have all. flavors,you do not which to choose. and the place its clean.“

“This my favorite froyo spot no doubt. I come here for their frozen watermelon and plain yogurt flavors. I work right next to a Yogurtland but if I'm being honest the flavors and variety here are WAY better. The texture of the yogurt is higher quality here.“

“International Ice Cream has so many options to choose from! They carry Thrifty Ice Cream, which is always a plus. The owners are very nice and incredibly polite, and the portions are generous. I had pineapple coconut and black cherry, which tasted just like I remember from childhood. Great variety, great service, and a wonderful place to treat yourself. Highly recommend!“

“Love this place, great service and great ice cream“

“Where do I begin? Well, I will say this is definitely not a bad ice cream parlor. The ice cream was creamy, cold, and really everything you would expect. We also got some churros, and might I add those were quite delicious. They were smothered with cinnamon sugar. Overall the prices were not terrible. I’ve seen better, more comparable prices.“

“I’ve been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The service is always friendly, the food is top-notch, and the pastrami sandwich is hands down the best in the South Bay. If you haven’t tried this spot yet, you’re seriously missing out!“

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

“My best flavor I love it 😻“

“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
