50 Best Ice Cream Shops near San Gabriel

“I love eating fresh taiyaki that's hot off the pan! It does take a few minutes for them to make the taiyaki, but it's totally worth it. We ordered custard, Nutella, and red bean. They neatly labeled the flavors on the box so that you know which one is which.

There's some bar seating inside and a small table outside that can seat 4.

Thanks for a great afternoon snack!

Parking: There's a parking lot for the strip mall. It was fairly full when we went on a Sunday afternoon, but we were able to find a spot immediately.“

“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“

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

Vegetarian options: VEGAN. Yay!!!“

“Came here while visiting family and the ice cream was sooo goood! Their take on flavors is unique and I loved that they took the time to give samples and describe each flavor! The staff was so sweet, wish I could’ve met the owner since my family knows them but overall a great ice cream place no wonder there’s a line sometimes :)“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I really enjoyed the Blue Monster flavor. The banana split had a great mix of fruits and ice creams, providing a delightful combination. I also loved the ube and pistachio ice creams, and the waffle cone was excellent. Although there was a line outside to order, the wait wasn’t too long, and the service was quick once I placed my order. The staff was patient and attentive, ensuring they understood each customer’s specific requests.

Parking: There are about 20 parking spots right by the ice cream shop.“

“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.“

“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“

“Team Swrlies was awesome today at my corporate event. Very professional, handled the crowd with ease and most of all everyone loved loved loved the ice cream and frozen yogurt. If you are thinking of hiring them for your next event, you won’t be sorry. Thank you all again!“

“You don’t stay in business for over 100 years for no reason! As an Alhambra native I have a special place in my heart for certain places that make Alhambra what it is, and this is definitely one of them.
Their flavors are delicious! The price is fair! And the atmosphere is unbeatable!
So many wonderful memories at this iconic ice cream shop, and you can feel that when you’re there.
Some original favorite flavors are green tea, and cookie monster which the kids love! I personally always enjoyed the banana walnut!
If you’re in town it’s definitely one of the top 3 to visit!

Parking: The parking lot is small only fits a few cars. There is free street parking, but depending on the time of day there may not be that many spots.

Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome! They will love it!

Wheelchair accessibility: This location is wheelchair accessible, but can be crowded, it may be good to sit outside for more room.“

“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.“

“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!“

“They served the ice cream right away. The sticky rice mango ice cream was absolutely delicious, and the ube waffle cone was pretty good. The vanilla ice cream was also fantastic. We sampled the flavors before ordering, which helped us choose.

Parking: The parking garage operated by the town is cheap.“

“Paradis Ice Cream is a must-visit spot for dessert lovers! The pistachio ice cream was absolutely fantastic—creamy, perfectly nutty, and full of authentic flavor. The coffee espresso flavor was equally impressive, with a bold and fresh taste that stood out. I was also amazed by the variety of flavors available, offering something for everyone.

The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you’re looking for classic flavors or something unique, Paradis delivers. Highly recommend stopping by for a scoop (or two)!“

“This place is great for a treat or just a snack of ice cream. There was only one person working but the line moved quickly as the orders were large but was done without any problems. Looks like a local spot to get a sundae and satisfy the crave.
A go to place!

Parking: The parking is either street or the lot at the rear of the building. Did notice some parking stalls on the side near the exit. There is another business that shares the parking lot so during lunch hours it might be busy but should have parking to accommodate“

“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.“

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

“Friendly staff and delicious frozen treats. The waffle cones pair great with any flavor, but if that's too messy for you, just get it in a cup. The seasonal flavors don't always hit, but the year-round flavors are always great. Coffee and love nuts for the win!“

“The most creamiest ice cream in Los Angeles. They have the most sophisticated flavors I have ever tried. As for service, the staff were the nicest people ever. They made sure that the flavor I picked was the one I would like the most. They offered many samples to ensure this. They are located in a small shop in the Far East Plaza in chinatown. Though the room is small, they have perfectly decorated the place to create a great atmosphere for ice cream. Over all, I highly recommend this ice cream parlor. Please drop by and taste the great flavors they have to offer.“

“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..!!!“

“This is the go-to late night ice cream spot in the area, iykyk 😉. Great quality ice cream with lots of options and toppings. The design is quite unique, resembling a gas station. It gets very busy at night time because people love coming here to hang out after dinner. Definitely recommend if you get the chance!“

“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.“

“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!“

“A cute soft serve establishment with interesting, Japanese inspired flavors. My partner had a bright and fresh Yuzu Affogato with honey flakes at the bottom, and I had a sweet, but light Honey Affogato with vanilla and coffee soft serve blended in. It was the perfect end to our afternoon in Little Tokyo.“

“My children’s new I love this place!“

“This place has been around for as long as I can remember. We've stopped by mostly for their ice creams and drinks but recently hosted a large event and needed two 5-gallon of Agua Frescas. We brought our own vitroleros but they do offer rentals. The flavors we chose were Sandia and Limonada. Our guests LOVED it. I will continue to use their services in the future. Can't wait to try the Mangoneadas Diablitos and shakes!“

“So happy I finally tried this treat I've been seeing everyone share! Truly delicious ? The line was short, I was served almost immediately and the ice cream was incredible. What a fun treat, especially with the filling inside. Some seating and standing tables available, but probably best to step outside.“

“Absolutely amazing ice cream 🍨“

“Ty is the guy!!! Give that guy a raise. I just heard about it. A friend from Mexico came into town and her daughter told us about Crumbl- we looked it up and Bam! right in my town- The girls were so excited when their mom brought home a nice six-pack -“

“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.“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love being able to have a small sugar free treat. Usually they have sugar free chocolate and sugar free hazelnut. I don’t think it’s completely sugar free, but rather no sugar added plus a sweetener.

Dietary restrictions: I’m on a low-carb diet.“

“Got a Diablito.
It had natural tamarind flavored shaved ice, chopped pieces of mango, lemon, a tamarind spicy candy stick, and chamoy.
It’s sooooo goood especially on a hot day!!
We stayed and sat indoors because they had a nice breeze going.
Huntington Park gem.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of tables to sit in“

“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“

“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 !!!“

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

“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!“

“So delicious. Great prices. We always go home with a dozen paletas“

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

“Riquísimos rapados los mejores !!!! Son nuestros favoritos mmm“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“Riquísimos rapados los mejores !!!! Son nuestros favoritos mmm“

“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.“
