50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Rolling Hills

“I love coming here for ice cream everyone is very helpful but there's just 1 concern I have there's always this one girl who's always wearing pajamas while working I feel like it's a safety hazard even if it's a ice cream shop it is also very unprofessional and a bad look for the owner“

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

“I had the most amazing experience at Ben Scoops! 🍦✨ I stumbled upon this gem while looking for a treat for my grandsons after discovering that Kansha Creamery was closed on Wednesdays. They decided on strawberry ice cream in a cone, and let me tell you, it was a hit! 🍓❤️

But I couldn't resist treating myself too! I ordered the pistachio and green tea ice cream, and wow, it was a flavor explosion! 🌰🍵 The pistachio was rich and creamy, while the green tea was perfectly refreshing. I honestly can't believe I hadn't tried Ben Scoops sooner!

Now, it's officially my go-to place for ice cream on Wednesdays! 🎉 If you're looking for delicious flavors and a fun atmosphere, Ben Scoops is the place to be! 🍧🙌“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“Ooh this is good. We were craving ice cream and ended up here. We aren’t big fan of gelato in general but this place hit. We had the coffee, tiramisu and cheesecake flavor and honestly just yummy! Cant wait to come back and try more flavors!“

“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“

“I have lived in Manhattan Beach for over 20 years and yesterday I had maybe the best customer service experience EVER in my life. I was not able to get the young man’s name but I have this picture here that he let me take. This young man was so warm and hospitable towards everyone who walked in the store. He was very patient with me and all my sampling requests which was probably annoying because I came at a busy time, but his positive attitude never wavered. His smile lit up my day and made my ice cream taste even sweeter than it already was! I loved my experience with that young man so much that I might only get ice cream from salt in straw from now on! He also gives the best scoops, filled with a lot of joy… and ice cream as well, so request him if you can. Hopefully he is working there the next time I go, so that I can get his name and thank him for his incredible service. Salt and Straw, you found a good one.“

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

“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“

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

“Simply a wonderful ice cream and candy store with old school charm.

With different types of frozen bananas, cookies, and, of course, house-made flavored ice cream, this is a bit of a paradise. Personalized ice cream sandwiches also adorn the menu, or a nice ice cream shake.

For the seasoned, there are also hand-packed cartons available.

Their ice cream is something special. There are seasonal flavors and your old school favorites. The cartons change often, so multiple visits are warranted.

For an ice cream lover, I would have to say there is a good balance of overrun and fat content. The structure has a good, solid mouth feel without too much compactness. I especially like how their chocolate flavors give a sense of cocoa and not just commercial sugary chocolate. Seasonal flavors also fall in line with the same attention to detail.

Stay away from corporate-run chains and give your love for a cold treat to folks who have a passion for it.“

“The Baseline: The Ice Cream/Gelato Baseline consists of having quality dairy product, variety of flavors/mix-ins, and serving quantity for the price. Handles goes over the baseline on all marks.

Update (September 2025):
Food: I got 2 hand packed quarts and a single bowl tonight. The quarts were “Strawberry Cheesecake Chunk” and “Ohh Dough made with Oreo” which are one of there awesome flavors. The Single cup was Cotton Candy which is the sugar hit and a half with creamy goodness. Best and Favorite Ice Cream!

Service: Fast, friendly Handel’s staff made it fast and efficient.

Ambiance: Manhattan Village is a fun safe place to hang out. I love that Handel’s is a part of that atmosphere.

Update (August 2025)
Food: This is my favorite ice cream place! I always forget to check in on my apps because I am excited to get Handel's. Tried the Blondie Sundae today for the first time and it was a sugar sweet indulgence but it was goooooooood! Also the group got a single scoop and a 4 scoop sampler (which is the best way to try flavors).

Service: Great customer service by the employees at Handel's. Great friendly staff even when they are swamped.

Ambiance: The Manhattan Village lawn area is the ambiance and it is awesome in summer.

Previous Review (January 2025):
I love Handles and it is my favorite ice cream spot! Handles goes over the baseline marks!

Food: The ice cream base (dairy and non-dairy) is of very high quality where the milk/cream ratio is make the ice cream smooth and silky (not gummy). If you can get a purchase quart into a decent freezer it will firm up but still be easy to scoop. The variety of flavors are awesome with unique offerings (my favorites are Graham Central Station, Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie, and Blueberry Cobbler). The serving sizes will vary per order but if you use a 1 scoop as your metric you are getting a scoop+ with each order. I suggest the 4 scoop sampler if it is your first or fiftieth time here so you can get variety.

Service: Service is straight forward and to the point. Friendly but be prepared to know what you want, but easy to do since there is usually a line so you have time to figure it out. The will let you try a sample or two but you can’t sit there to go through all the flavors and I usually try the seasonal offerings when I am there.

Ambiance: This is a walk up ice cream stand with no dedicated seating, but it is in the Manhattan Village quad and that is where you want to hang out anyway.

Go here for ice cream, pick up quarts for $14 because it is worthy of a spot in your freezer.“

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

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

“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“

“First time at any of their locations and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful
Very clean and quick

Parking: Enough parking around store

Wheelchair accessibility: Def wheelchair friendly“

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

“Family Support Services Immediate Enrollment“

“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.“

“Had a great time learning about their locally sourced flavors and fresh ingredients to make their local craft ice cream. The staff working were super energetic and friendly. Had a wonderful time and look forward to coming again.“

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

“Ice cream flavors are mix and match of traditional and unique flavors. Their Salad is delishhhh! :D“

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

“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!!“

“Nathan the owner operator was soooo nice & he is from France. The crepes are delectable & coming & a wide variety sweet & savory. If you come to the movies, Macys or just want to stop by. A MUST TRY. Located in the food court.“

“Everything it’s good there!“

“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

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

“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!“

“Recieved some for Valentine’s Day two large boxes & they wee gone in 12 hours & there are only 4 of us & we don’t eat a lot of sugary foods! They were actually delicious! I was pleasantly surprised! And when I read the ingredients, I was even more impressed because I didn’t see to many seed oils ie. Vegetable oils or any other toxic ingredients. I will definitely make this my go to place for birthdays and holidays, especially because they don’t use seed oils in place of butter (they had a few cookies containing some seed oils for frosting) but overall ingredients were quite good!
Thank you for using butter!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Loved Pier Express ice cream. They have some interesting flavors, accompanied by the usual favorites like chocolate, vanilla, cookies and cream, etc.

I tried their coconut + pineapple and their pistachio nut ice cream. They were delicious! The flavors were amazing and the texture and consistency were just as amazing. I am definitely going back to try some of the other flavors.“

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

“We come in to this location all the time and we wish there were more non-dairy options. I heard they had a chocolate hazelnut made from cashew milk but it was a limited time flavor and I'm SO SAD we missed it!!! How can we be informed when new flavors are added so we don't miss them? We love this store but we are getting tired of the pineapple being our only vegan option most days. This store is always so clean and well stocked, more creamy vegan options please! <3 We love you!!! :)“

“I had been wanting to try these ice creams for a while but every time that I found myself around International Ice Cream, I never had cash with me.

Thankfully, I found an ATM nearby. Since I had to wait so long to try these ice creams, I went all in and got me a three scoops cup. My God ...

If you are like me and you never carry cash, either bring some with you or run to the nearest ATM. It is so worth it. There's real passion behind these, the flavors are amazing and the creaminess is just right. The scoops are very, and I mean VERY generous. I wasn't sure I would be able to finish it but I had waited too long to back down so I did finish it all.

Highly recommended.“

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

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

“Good flavors: Asian, American, and Latin. Not a long line when I went. I didn't have to worry about parking because it's a relatively short walk from the 24th St/Mission BART, or you can take MUNI a short distance. A bit expensive. A junior is 1 small scoop for $3.15.“

“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. We had the standard tart with toppings and I tried a strawberry-banana Yogurt Smoothie. Both were tasty and good and I am a new fan of the smoothies.

Service: The day we went we had great service and it was fast/efficient even though there was only one person managing the counter. The portion size served was good sized.

Ambiance: This is a standard Pinkberry set up and the inside was clean and well kept. The outside area was nice with a fountain.“
