50 Best Ice Cream Shops near San Gabriel

“Taiyaki and ice cream, a truly delicious match. This is a pretty small business, so sometimes it felt claustrophobic inside when it got busy. Compared to Somi Somi, the ice cream isn't as good, but I like this taiyaki slightly better. I do appreciate that the toppings are self-serve.“

“tasty and fun, you need to go... Soon!“

“Highly recommend Baskin Robbins for your next cake order. Cakes taste amazing! Spoke to Brian, goes above and beyond to make your experience the best
Everyone at my baby shower loved the cake, were looking for seconds. My daughters bday was also another hit with their cakes yum! All the kids loved the jack skellington design ??
I will definitely continue ordering cakes here in the future“

“Delicious ice cream, with top quality ingredients! Sizes are bigger than other nearby shops and it even includes toppings!“

“626 Ice Cream is a fun and funky and eclectic place. They had music playing outside with small plastic chairs and limited seating inside. Oh and they serve unusual flavored ice cream. They also have non dairy ice cream as well for those that are lactose intolerant. It was quite tasty ice cream and recommended.“

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

“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!“

“absolutely love this place. we come all the way out from West Los Angeles just to get our ice cream fix. thank you guys and I wish you guys eternal success!“

“Ice Cream is always so good here. Prompt service, very nice employees. Their waffle bowl could be a little more flavorful but that’s a personal preference. Got their hot fudge sundae waffle bowl with banana cream pie and vanilla ice creams and ate every bit. Definitely recommend a stop here“

“We absolutely loved Swrlies! They offered such a fun and delicious variety of frozen yogurt options—our team thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The service was prompt, professional, and a true pleasure to work with. We’re already looking forward to having Swrlies at our next company event!“

“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!“

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

“Sweet girl working the booth and providing excellent service. The soft serve here is absolutely delicious and always hits the spot, and the prices are very reasonable. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, but the tasty treats make it worth it!“

“I’ve had ice cream/gelato/granita/dondurma and a pile of other frozen desserts on 6 continents. This is my absolute favorite on the planet. While I never order strawberry anywhere else, here it is so full of fresh strawberry flavor that I never pass it up (and this flavor is dairy-free, you’d never know!). All the flavors are fresh and delicious but my favorites are the strawberry, banana sundae, Dubai chocolate and ashta.“

“This ice cream shop is a pop-up (probably permanent pop-up) in The Shops at Santa Anita. I loved the free sample they offered! The server is so generous in offering the samples. The croffle is the best we’ve had for a long time, warm and so yummy. I especially enjoyed the matcha and hojicha, both made with ceremonial-grade tea. The ice cream did not disappoint me either. Totally recommend for sugar craves!“

“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.“

“Wanna get some yummy ice cream after you’ve had a burger at Amboy? There’s a variety of unique flavors at Scoops, in which I got a red velvet & oreo + vanilla & m&m shake. Probably would recommend having ice cream rather than milkshake because I think you can savor it better. The flavor was sweet and creamy, but in hindsight, I would have chosen just one flavor for the shake.“

“Went here after going to Descano to see the tulips. Ice cream is different. Everything is Original. You won’t fine their flavors anywhere else. Nightly recommend going if your in the Pasadena area.“

“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“

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

“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!"“

“What a great ice cream shop. They have the most creative flavours that taste great. The service was fantastic from the man working there and you can even have free samples to ensure you like your flavour before committing to a flavour. We had the miso caramel toffee ice cream which was smooth and of great quality. Prices are very reasonable too! Amazing ice cream shop!“

“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..!!!“

“Hello Gelato stands out among the many frozen sweet shops in Old Town Pasadena. The flavors taste exactly like they're supposed to, rich and delicious. The texture is dense and smooth. I like chocolate and mint chip, and my husband swears by the stracciatelli. Bonus: you'll often meet the owner himself scooping behind the counter. A great little local business!“

“First time coming to this place and let me say that whoever thought of putting an ice cream shop next to a pizzeria is a genius! Anyways I tried the Chocolate Gooey Brownie and the Salted, Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Out of the 2 I would get the Salted,Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough again. The Chocolate Gooey Brownie is very choclatey and a bit boring. Salted, Malted is the way to go along with a waffle cone. Prices are reasonable, portions are fine, good ice cream but I probably would pick other spots just because of their variety. Overall I would definitely recommend this place and would come back.“

“It's one of my favorite locations of Afters. This place has nice decor outside. It's all outdoor seating. You walk up to the window and there's a person there to take your order. This location only takes credit card and tap (Apple/ Google pay). No cash.

There are a lot of good flavors, but I prefer the Ube brownie. I have yet to try their sweet bun. I like the waffle cone, but just like any waffle cone, they're messy to eat because they leak at the bottom. I'm not sure if they charge, but I saw a few people ask for an additional cup with their regular cake cone.

When we arrived there wasn't a line, but there was after we ordered. Lol. Thank goodness we got there before the wave of people came. Lots of parking around the place also.“

“authentic real ice cream, made in house and love the unique flavors 😋“

“Came here with a group of 5 and tasted the tofu donuts and the matcha soft serve!

Good:
- Tofu donut was super unique, I couldn't tell that it was tofu
- The soft serve was amazing- so creamy and not too sweet, and the serving size was large enough for 2 people to share or maybe even 3!

Bad:
- Long lines! Super popular place so you'll wait about 10 min for your order outside and there's limited seating

Overall this was a fun hole in the wall gem to find!“

“Pistachio ice cream is one of the best I've had. It has the right amount of cream to nut ratio. The flan is also one of the best I've had because it has a thicker consistency. Every other flan has a more watery texture, whereas this one is more dense and high quality.“

“Fosters Freeze’s, Large soft serve,Vanilla ice cream cones, dipped in chocolate syrup, are good and messy. They made me a triple cheeseburger back in the early 70’s way before Burger King or In-n- out ever had them.“

“Love their ice cream, aguas frescas and especially their crepes 😋😋😋😋“

“Absolutely amazing ice cream 🍨“

“Great service! Always have a great experience here with my kids!“

“Just not ice cream. They actually have a lot of snacks from japan. Don't let the metal fencing out front discourage you. Keep in mind you are going to a warehouse so there are no thrills or frills. They allow you to buy in bulk so if you are having a party this is the spot.“

“This location only has ice cream, they do not have any other food items like burgers or fries etc that are available at other Fosters Freeze Locations. That said the malts and root beer floats and cones are stellar! And service was friendly and quick. Well done.“

“I love coming here whenever I swing by Pasadena. The ube waffle cone is delightful and every ice cream flavor I've tried has not disappointed me. So far my favorites are probably the pandan tres leches and black sesame cookies and cream“

“Italian ice was colorful and refreshing with just the right amount of soft serve to ice ratio. Just when I was running out of soft serve I found more at the bottom lolSundae was perfect amount of chocolate and whipped cream. Banana milkshake has fresh bananas combined with thick, creamy ice cream. Overall, a delight!“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“Tried their honey affogato and it was pretty good! even though it had honey it wasn’t too overly sweet so that was great, the coffee wasn’t bitter either so i would definitely recommend it, the place has tables to sit around and it’s pretty comfortable and the staff is very sweet, it also has a photobooth if you are looking for one in the little tokyo area, the only downside like every other place in little tokyo is the bathroom situation!“

“If I'm feeling I'll drop by for a cone and that it. Order outside through the window. They have seats but outside on the side. Is a regular ice cream shop they do offer other food items but haven't tried that yet. Fairly priced, although the ice cream is not fully dairy it seems. Because it melts really quickly and it tastes more water based than anything. Aside from that, the taste is there.

Parking: They do have parking in the back. There's also plenty on the street not metered.“

“Oakobing is a must-try for dessert lovers! After seeing rave reviews across social media, we decided to check it out on a weeknight. It was quiet since we visited late, but that gave us the perfect chance to enjoy our dessert without the usual crowds. We ordered the green tea shaved ice with tiny mochis, and it was delicious. The texture reminded us of Taiwan night market treats, although this is a Korean dessert spot. The shaved ice was delicate and fluffy, offering a light, refreshing sweetness.

The place itself is small but has a bright, modern vibe, and the service was quick and friendly. There’s paid parking available on the side, which is convenient enough. Oakobing specializes in Korean-style shaved ice (bingsoo) with many flavors and milkshake options to choose from. The portions are just right for sharing, making it the perfect spot for a sweet indulgence with friends. If you’re looking for a unique dessert experience, Oakobing won’t disappoint!“

“This place has always had a special place in my heart. My mom would bring me here as a kid over 30 years ago whenever we would go to the office down the street. I was in the area with my son whose 9. We came and sat down to eat some ice cream. To this day I still order the chicle flavor, its alaways tasted amazing. We sat where I would sit as a kid and it brought back so many memories of being with my mom. The staff was still as friendly as ever. Highly recommend this place.“

“The soft serve and Taiyaki cones here are fantastic. The soft serve is nice and creamy and the cone is crisp and fluffy. I got the taiyaki Cone, milk soft serve, black sesame paste with a sprinkle of crushed oreo. Major plus was that nothing was too sweet. The milk flavor could have been way stronger though.“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“I had a (vegan) chocolate sorbet that was the best vegan dessert I’ve ever had. You don’t know it’s vegan. It holds up as a fabulous chocolate dessert even if it wasn’t vegan. It’s like rich dark chocolate mousse that’s almost frozen….smooth but slightly “icy”.“

“Home made Tacos home made ice cream. What else can a growing boy ask for? Lol“

“Great place to get ice cream. Always friendly and willing to help.Had an issue with a milkshake today, feel it had a much lower amount than normal. Normally it's to the brim, not sure why it was so low. Perhaps the ice cream was melted more than normal. No issue, both of the workers working the afternoon shift were attentive, understood my concerns and worked out a remedy for me. Very much appreciated! So be sure to stop by and get some ice cream from here!“

“It's a very small and cute ice cream spot with very..instagrammable... dessert. The charcoal ice cream with crispy rice is very well made and not too strong of a flavor. Their charcoal waffle cone is probably one of the best ones I have eaten and would highly recommend it over a cup.“

“My boyfriend got throat surgery and I wanted to get him a healthy juice I called this place and I really nice man answered and was super accommodating and recommended a drink which by the way was ready by the time I drove there to pick it up . They always make me feel welcome every time I come in. I always come back for that reason. The drink was a 10/10 I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area !!!“

“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“
