48 Best Ice Cream Shops near Rancho Palos Verdes

“Truly one of our favorite stops during our visit abd stay. I highly suggest you getting a to-go order of their decorated and savory pastries and dessert on the day you check out.Parking: Free parking is available but best to check with the hotel attendant on duty.“

“'Twas my first time here& my overall experience was delightful. Walked in to a line (great sign!), saw there was a mini arcade (Mario Kart ), beers on tap, and even saw there was a gelato bar! Ordered a Chicken Hot Stuft Sandwich w garlic parm& mango habanero wings. Delicious! Loved that the sandwich was not all bread and really all flavorrrrr!! Wings were tender and fall off the bone. Washed it all down w some Modelo.. Need to try some dessert next time. Staff was so warm and welcoming, it made the atmosphere really nice, on top of a full house on a Tuesday evening. Will definitely be coming back!“

“A bit too small of space but it’s also a positive. The ice cream I had was yummmmy! One scoop is a nice size if your into just having one.. it’s filling. Fresh tasting flavor I have never had before. The cookie and toffee/ caramel was great mix. It’s a spot where you have to try it to taste the flavor.“

“Found out about this spot recently on I.G & went for my first time today. Ben was welcoming & had me sample all his ice cream / sorbet creations! I was sold on Ube & Green tea, but all the flavors were on point. Will be back to try them all ?“

“Closed on Sundays, go to the website to find out that day's flavors. They change every week. There is NO free tasting. There was some mention of trying the flavors so i thought there was. But i asked at this last visit and No there isn't a tasting available. The cookies are BIG and heavy in weight, they have a real buttery undertone. The milk chocolate chip cookie is my favorite. The chocolate chips are decadent. They are crispy and gooey. I toast them for a crispier cookie but it IS a great cookie. The brownie cookie is also great. There are many more flavors but haven't found any other flavor YET that i love as much as these two. The workers are nice, helpful, your order prompt. I would give those cookies an A- but that's because I prefer a crispier cookie. The flavor is there, i'd definitely return and have been there numerous times“

“I came here for the first time to use the gift card that my son got from a friend. I knew this place had a great review since people were talking about the place. Came here around 6pm and the line was long. Amazed by the size of their one scoop in a cup!!! It's probably triple size bigger than the Baskin Robbin's single scoop cup. I totally forgot to take the ice cream photos because it was so yummy. Definitely a place to check it out if you're the ice cream person!“

“Thankfully, this coffee shop location still accepts cash. The clowns in Marina del Rey do not. They should know better, but instead they choose convenience and sell us out to a potential social credit score system, leveraged by money and judgment placed upon your spending. Judgment from unelected individuals.Honor and show preference for businesses that accept cash. Avoid the ones that do not.Use it or lose it. That applies to sovereignty as well as cash.“

“Marsha came through with an exceptional cake for my husband’s surprise 60th birthday. She designed the cake exactly the way I wanted it. We had a 3 tier cake, each being a different flavor and our guests wanted to try all 3. Needless to say, this cake was a hit! Marsha’s Sweet Cakes will be my only choice for custom cakes in the future!“

“I just left Yo-Way Eatery about 30 minutes ago. Yo-Way did it again!!! My sandwich was huge and delicious. I'd like to go on and on but I would just be repeating what I said in my last review. The consistency of the deliciousness of their sandwiches ensures I'll be back next month. Thanks for a great meal. PS there's a really popular sandwich place in LA that has a reputation of being one of the best sandwich shops. Yo-way, you are second to none!!!“

“31 ain't got no flavor on Ken's. The ice cream here doesn't taste like ice milk. With a variety of flavors to choose from, along with multiple toppings, you will absolutely enjoy. The staff is friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a hidden gem you must expirence. ? ✨️“

“This place is a South Bay gem! The coffee is the best I have found in our area, the owner/staff are super friendly, and the food is fresh & delicious. In the morning, it's packed but service is still efficient. Highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a latte and a crostini!“

“Ordered the lucky charms inspired ice cream and it was so good. I'm a big fan of the cereal especially the marshmallows and this ice cream flavor hit the spot. Small seating area inside with a few tables but walking distance to enjoy on the pier. Service is average.“

“Definitely one of the better ice cream joints in the South Bay. Nice people very friendly and cool quaint spot for a nice relaxing and chill time. The sweetie is my favorite as well as the honey comb with ice cream too. I also really like their apple with popping Boba drink very refreshing.Parking: Easy parking but make sure you go at the right time bc that location can get packedKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Immediately noticed cookie making equipment along with flour and eggs: always a good sign. Front staff are chipper and willing to describe products. Chocolate chip had nice chunks of excellent quality chocolate - oddly hard to find these days. Peanut butter had good flavor but left me wanting. Chocolate-Chocolate with frosting was amazing. The oatmeal was frosted: not necessary and it distracts from a beautiful base. We paid $16 for 4 cookies.“

“Fantastic quality and the owner is so nice and boy can he slice those bananas and strawberries with precision! Totally delicious and authentic. I got the crepe with smoked salmon, avocado, cream cheese and it was amazing. My daughter got the crepe with Nutella, strawberries and banana and it was so good she would not share with me.Lloyd“

“Just came from the beach and decided to come here.The place is very welcoming,very clean.The young lady that rang me up was nice.There's a long bench to sit on & Hawaiian music being played while you wait for your order.I ordered the Halo Halo and Rootbear float for the wife.Halo2 was good compared to the other ones that I've tried but the wife didn't like hers. I might come back for the halo2 and try the mais con Yelo if I'm in the area.“

“I love Wanna Chill! I wish there was one closer to Manhattan Beach because I can only go every once in a while, but sometimes I have work in Redondo Beach so I drop by for Wanna Chill Wednesdays to get the shaved ice deal! My tip is to get dole whip in the base of the shaved ice!“

“During my recent visit to Crumbl Cookies, I was impressed by the delightful aroma that greeted me upon entering. The vibrant and inviting atmosphere immediately set a positive tone. The staff was friendly and eager to assist, making the ordering process smooth.As for the cookies, they were a true delight. The variety of flavors available was extensive, and each cookie looked like a work of art. I particularly enjoyed the warm Cornbread cookie, which was a perfect balance of sweetness. The cookies were generously sized and had a soft, chewy texture that was simply irresistible.What stood out was the innovative packaging – each cookie was individually wrapped, ensuring freshness. The presentation added an extra touch of sophistication to the whole experience.While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality of the cookies justifies the cost. Overall, my visit to Crumbl Cookies was a delightful experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth.“

“So glad I found this location! * near IKEA - so I'll grab this and walk around IKEA* fresh options * various choices of base and chia seed puddings* reasonable price* my kids love it I wish this place was closer to my home because I would come here dailyThey have three sizes and a menu to pick from 1. Size 2. Base : they have 6 choices3. Add chia pudding4. Fruit5. Granola6. Toppings My two kids devoured one small Amazon acai bowl.“

“EVERY ice cream I've ever had from here has delivered! Seriously, there graham cracker ice cream packs more graham cracker punch than some graham cracker pie crusts I've had! How do they do that!?! My only "complaint" is the # of choices. It seriously takes me longer to decide what I'd like versus consuming whatever it is I end up with. I'd probably be better off if they had a hat I could pull a choice out of ? And please share, at least one order per two persons. The portions are ? ?“

“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. 10/10Wheelchair accessibility: Great handicap parking right in front of entrance“

“Tried this place for the first time on a Saturday around 3:45 and ordered their Southern Banana Pudding ice cream and had a friend order their Ube, New York Cheesecake, and Green Tea flavors. The New Year cheesecake comes with a graham crust entwined and the banana pudding has Nilla wafers. The regular is a LOT bigger and more cost effective than a Baskin Robbin’s or Handel’s. Regular was three scoops, and a large was four. If you do get the green tea, pair it with the Cheesecake!A super long line that will have you waiting at least fifteen minutes, but it’s worth it. They have a couple of seats outside but right next to the street so it’s not very pleasant.Also, you can get samples!Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy flavors and sherberts.Parking: Free parking in the Palm Plaza and Torrance Plaza.Kid-friendliness: Perfect place to take a kid!“

“One of my favorite places and a must stop shop when I'm in Manhattan beach. FROZEN BANANAS. Hands down don't know anywhere that makes better frozen bananas. This menu item alone deserves 5 stars. Every theme park I go to - I always get their frozen bananas... but once I found this location , never again did I purchase a frozen banana anywhere else but there. They have the BEST. First of all- their bananas are frozen (so I do not recommend this to people with sensitive and poor dentures)... second their banana to chocolate ratio is PERfect!! It's like a whole Chuck of chocolate for every bite. And plus there are options other than peanuts. For my peanut allergy friends who can never eat a frozen banana because they always automatically come with peanuts - these can come with almonds or sprinkles or even just plain chocolate. I always order Frozen banana - dark chocolate with almonds Everything else seems amazing but I'm just going to post on how much I love this place for their frozen bananas. DONE.“

“One of the best matcha and hojicha drinks and soft serve places in SoCal. If you ever pass by a Nana's, try it. I wish they opened one here. We had the hojicha soft serve with extra mochi and no red beans and the matcha latte. Both had very rich tea flavors and right level of sweetness. It's inside the Mitsuwa where the Del Amo mall is. Lots of parking on this side of the mall.“

“The ice cream shop is in the middle of shopping stores, with table and chairs to sit and enjoy. The place is kid friedly the staff are nice and you are greeted with a smile. We had the banana bread pudding with fudge and honeycomb fudge ripple. The banana bread pudding tastes good on the first bite but it has an artificial after taste to it, if it doesn't bother you it is a good flavor... but i especially like the honeycomb the crisp added texture to it.“

“Happen to stumble on this little gem in the neighborhood after seeing some kids eating ice cream. Decided to stop in and give it a try. The two young ladies working there were very helpful and offered to try their new flavor - Vibranium - in tribute to the upcoming movie Black Panther. And the ice cream flavor and add ons was delicious. Definitely will be back!!“

“Very unassuming place with a beautiful local take on ice cream, and they were open late (at least by old people standards) on a weekend, so we were able to hit the up after dinner. So late, they were deserted, so service was quick and quite helpful. As far as the ice cream... for said beautiful local takes, we were not particularly taken by this place. Like so many crafty flavors, while they may be a home run for some palates, for the friends I was here with... well, we enjoyed them, but not enough to make this a regular in our dessert stops. 3.5 stars, but will round up.“

“Ive been here twice. A small hole in the wall ice cream place. I love ordering their strawberry or triple berry malted mille shakes. I tried the peach but the taste of peach is just a hint and I dont feel like it goes well with the malted taste. My friend got their ice cream. It is a nice place to stop by on a hot day. Perfect for this weekend as the temps start to rise again. The line isnt long and there's usually 2 ladies working inside. So they usually take 2-3 orders at a time and make the orders before helping the next few customers. First time my friend took me was at night so there was no line. Second time I went with family and more people started to stop by as we were looking at the menu trying to decide what to get. If you look at the small building it looks like it's been here for decades. Definitely would come back here again on a hot day for another ice cream.“

“The ice cream is delicious. I would recommend not to get the large cup for ice cream. I got the médium size and i felt like it was just to much sweet for me. I got the oreo twister. I think the smallest cup is good enough to satisfy the tastebuds a little bit. ?. I got a bottle of water just to help it digest ??. It was a delicious dessert. I appreciate de service here. ?Parking: Parking is limited here. Not a lot of parking.“

“I always feel good visiting a small business. This is a tiny, hole in the wall, right next to a barber shop. Flavors are posted on the wall. Service was friendly and personalized. I enjoyed my scoop of milk tea ice cream. It was rich and creamy. There's a little seating inside and outdoors. I sat at the table outdoors. Perfect place to stop by after the Torrance Antique Fair.“

“Came here for dessert after trying Red Rock next door. Plenty of parking in the lot, but the place was small and no tables. I got the kid scoop of the brown bread flavor and it was bigger than I thought. The ice cream was delicious, I can't really describe the flavor it was like a creamy cinnamon flavor. Overall, I would come back again if I'm in the area.“

“Have visited here multiple times over the past few years, and it’s consistently good. Very fond of the generous hot fudge sundae (including brownie) well crafted and deliciously satisfying. Banana split is a winner as well. Friendly staff welcomes you.“

“I swung by here to grab a quick shake. The milkshakes are so thick & creamy. I got a large oreo milkshake & Bella got a pup cup the girl working here is soooo sweet & literally every patron too. I definitely recommend this place! It's a vibe. Parking is a little tight so I park across the from baskin Robbins in a little lot next to manhattan Torah center since I won't be more than 10 mins in & out of BR.“

“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.“

“Amazing selection of paletas. Always have a hard time deciding which to go with since there are just too many good options. Have been coming here about once a week for the past few months. So far, the favorites have been the coconut, horchata, strawberry and nanche“

“The good:I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! I tried an ice cream sandwich here and thought it was enjoyable. It's interesting how you can get two different types of cookies for the sandwich. The location is prime because it's located right off Hermosa Beach pier. It's a great stop to get dessert that you can enjoy along the beach. For my cookies I got cookies and cream (Oreo cheesecake flavored) and cookie of the month (I cannot recall what flavor this was). I got blackberry crumble as the ice cream. They have vegan ice cream options. The flavors are mostly classic. You can add toppings and get your cookies hot pressed. The bad:The cookie was smaller than I expected and the sandwich didn't hold its shape. You don't eat it like an ice cream cookie sandwich. Instead, they serve it on a paper plate with a spoon. It's pricey. The interesting:They have locations throughout the US. You can order in advance online.“

“THA B?MB!!!!!! they have all sorts of goodies for us foodies !!! OC Fair Food on steroids & I mean it!!!!!!!! I always get the "sweet nachos" and my fiance always gets the "deep fried oreos" here and there they'll throw in a huge b?mb Fresca for free or an ice cream cone for our little man. They are so kind and generous, We ❤️ it there. God blessVegetarian options: I'm not so sure but it's worth the cheat day(;Kid-friendliness: They have the water front water show (I'm not sure if there's an actual show anymore) but kids can run thru the middle of the pool sized fountainsWheelchair accessibility: So much room there for a wheelchairs“

“Craving roasted chestnuts with out the hassle of roasting them yourself! This is the place to go! There's two options of chestnuts Kyoto and Tainjin both great but I prefer the Kyoto! The Snow is also delicious with chunks of chestnuts in it! All things chestnut here, donuts, cookies, coffee, teas, ice cream!“

“Lots of options here - and about half were vegan as well. I chose the vegan dark chocolate (a water-based flavor) and a coffee flavor and it was about $8. Many of the flavors had toppings mixed in, with creative names as well. Perfect cool snack after a long beach walk.“

“We promised our son some ice cream and wanted to get something we don't have back home, so we ended up at Frostbites on the upper level! Took us a while to find but it's located near Din Tai Fung and Uncle Tetsu. The lady working was so nice when we walked up. She made her recommendations and even gave us a sample of those. We ended up picking one of them - taro and strawberry sorbet with vanilla custard. It's actually reasonably priced at $5 and some change for a small, which was plenty for us to share with our kids too. After a while I didn't actually like the taro ice as much, I think the fruity flavors pair better with the custard. Next time I'd want to try the passion fruit with strawberry! They also have crepes here, but I was actually more interested in some of their drink options like the sorbet tea or the cream soda! Lots of options and opportunities to customize what you really want here!“

“My favorite Michoacana spot! Every time we come, the staff is so friendly and patient! The ice cream always tasted so good! The store is spotless every time! Karina always helps us and she is so friendly and sweet! Really, it's always nice coming here, especially for late night snacks! :)“

“Had a craving for some ice cream and glad I came here! It’s in the mall so the only tough part is finding parking but everything else was great, cheap and delicious. It’s in the middle of the alley way/food court. I ordered the cookies and cream with Nutella waffle fish ?. SO GOOD, creamy and light, hit the spot. Definitely will return and try other flavors, toppings and filling. Customer service was friendly and helpful.“

“Just went yesterday and since the day was slow they were closed early. But the owner saw me in the parking lot , got out of his car and asked if i needed something and was kind enough to make me my sandwich even though they were closed.Just a total stand-up guy, didnt need to do that but he did. The food, as everyone knows that goes there is excellent, but the service has made me a loyal customer for life.“

“The staff was very nice in helping me find the location. I was on the other side of the mall. Thank you for that. The frozen yogurt was good, as always. Thank you to the helpful staff for my frozen yogurt fix since the one in Gardena closed for Halloween.“

“I'm hooked! The 1st time I went in to try this place I asked the guy to recommend something. He suggested the red detox. I went with it although I never had beets. It was SO good. Staff is always helpful. Usually only 1 person working so if you're impatient this might not be for you. My red detox is worth the wait. As far as ambiance, it's nothing worth writing about but it's quaint for a small business. Parking is tiny and easy to miss the 1st time.“

“I was sad when their other location in the Plaza closed because they had seating and a fountain. I was not aware that they had moved to this new location until I randomly passed by it on my way to another business. It is a lot smaller and seemingly less busy but just as good! Their fruit toppings are never old, stale, or soggy. Always very fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I always get strawberry and kiwi, which I think is the best combo. I do wish they had more dairy-free options. Their website lists many dairy-free options but most stores only have the Just Mango, which is disappointing and a bit misleading. Other than fruit, I also love their popping boba and doughy mochi as toppings. Highly recommend. Will for sure come back again during the summer, especially! Please expand your dairy-free options!“

“Came in after calling about a special request one of my friends wanted! They managed to create a Cinnamon Roll Cookies n Cream "donut sandwich" hybrid that my friend said was amazing. Thankful that even attempted to create his concoction and super happy about the service!“

“I wanted an afternoon treat with fruit & decided to pop in. They let me try without even asking 5-6 flavors. I thought my choice of ice cream would be sugary, but it was tasty. Next time I come in I will get one of the gelato flavors, or a fruit cup or even a smoothie. There was an abundance of flavors. All were really great quality ice cream and gelato’s. They were even savory snack choices. Great for kids after school, families, couples, etc. There was plenty of inside seating. The parking lot was small however, there were spots available. Great for a pick me up. They speak English in Spanish.Go in and try!!“
