Cauldron Ice Cream

The liquid nitrogen ice cream seemed like a gimmick but it makes the icecram super light and creamy. The floral and tea flavors are super tasty and refreshing and the bubble cones and rose shaped scoops makes the ice cream look great as well. I hope they reopen soon

Thought this place was open at 1PM? Drove 30 minutes to get here and it’s closed…

One of my favorite places to go! This combination of a hot waffle with ice cream is so delicious. I wish they had more locations around LA.

Love this place, everything is great, but beware of their stated hours... they almost always open an hour later than their stated hours.

Half designed rose. Low effort and customer service was mediocre. We were the only customers in line on Sat night. Tastes okay, but not soft as the location that used to be in Chino Hills. The salted Carmel was not even that salted. Might give it another try under another worker.

This place is trash, I’m ordering delivery and they’ve cancelled my order. Been waiting downstairs in my apartment complex and they cancelled 30 min after. Get something somewhere else

You get to watch your ice cream made live! Also some of the best ice cream I've ever had.

Very great place make the ice cream fresh right in front of you super cool

First time tried this liquid nitrogen ice cream. Loved the rose flavor. It’s very smooth n creamy.

I love the options on cones and ice creams! I'll come back for the drinks! I'd highly recommend this place! It's really clean and great for conversations!

Mmmmm good ice cream and service they have a lot of delicious flavors!

It’s very different but delicious the owner was very sweet!

Best ice cream store in OC. Sorry but the Lavender ice cream here beats any ice cream flavor out there. Must try. Enjoy!

Best Ice Cream in the U.S.? Not With That Matcha.

Cauldron Ice Cream proudly declares itself the best ice cream in the U.S.—a statement so audacious, it deserves its own documentary. Walking in, I was greeted by a lovely ambiance, an enticing menu, and genuinely friendly staff. The self-serve kiosk was a nice touch, efficiently removing any human witness to my impending disappointment.

Let’s start with the Vietnamese coffee ice cream. It was labeled strong, which I assume was a typo, and they meant shy. If this ice cream were any weaker, it would need emotional support. It had the smoothest texture you could ask for, but flavor-wise, it was about as committed to coffee as I am to a gym membership—meaning, not at all.

Then we have the matcha latte with almond milk. To call this a matcha latte is like calling a goldfish a shark—misleading at best, delusional at worst. What I actually received was a beautifully crafted cup of chilled almond milk, with a hint of matcha so subtle, it might have been a hallucination.

To be fair, their ice cream texture is silky smooth, like an influencer’s skincare routine. But unfortunately, great texture without great flavor is just a tragedy in a cone. In short, if Cauldron is indeed the best ice cream in the U.S., then we, as a nation, need to sit down and have a long, serious discussion about our standards.

I get the rose flavored ice cream almost every time! The puffle cone is mandatory.

Kid-friendliness: Not particularly kid-friendly because they have a huge neon sign that reads "it's not gonna lick itself." 🤨
