14 Best Ice Cream Shops in Santa Monica

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“Max is absolutely the best! He was so helpful in navigating the menu. The flavors here are incredible you can tell everything is highquality and actually healthy.

It’s rare to find a treat that tastes this good without the guilt. Thank you so much Frozen Fruit Co!“

“The only place in the USA known to me to have authentic Italian ice cream. It's super delicious!!“

“The family and I were up at 3rd Street Promenade celebrating my oldest's birthday. We ate at Din Tai Fung and came here after. It was the first time I have eaten McConnell's. I was impressed with the flavor selection. The one I chose had salted caramel and brownies. I enjoyed it, it was rich and creamy so not very frozen. I would come back.“

“absolutely delicious burgers and sauce. the customer service and people working there where really nice and great people“

“If happiness had a temperature, it would be served slightly melting in a paper cup here.
Bright, clean, and effortlessly aesthetic, this spot feels like a little Italian daydream tucked into Santa Monica.
The gelato itself? Silky, rich, and dangerously easy to finish before you’ve even processed your first bite. The strawberry had that real-fruit freshness, not the fake candy vibe, and the pistachio leaned earthy and smooth instead of overly sweet. Portions are generous, textures are chef’s kiss, and the wooden spoon somehow makes it feel fancier than it has any right to be. Only warning: you will think “I’ll just try a few bites” and suddenly the cup is empty and you’re contemplating a second round.“

“It was the best ice cream we have ever had. Wow!“

“The ice cream is very good, but the service is very slow. The attendant is very friendly and polite, but she's always alone to take orders, receive payments, and prepare the ice cream for delivery. She's very overwhelmed, which is why the orders take so long. Even with all this, the attendant does her best with great care. Congratulations to the girl. But they need at least two people to speed up the service.“

“I ordered via Uber eats for the office I work at and I didn't get my complete order. Veronica was a sweetheart and reached out to Uber for me since they did not want to refund the amount for the item not received. She was incredibly kind and professional while trying to sort out this mix up. Thank you again you are a gem, pinkberry is lucky to have you!“

“The flavors were great! Tried the gulab jamun but even better was Jalebi with the chunks of jalebi. Kids loved it.
Only issue was that we were looking for a store front and didn’t realize its inside urban skillet! I completely missed that. Urban skillet was really backed up Friday night so overall it just took a really long time.“

“31 Flavors has the best, courteous and helpful employees and delicious ice cream that has not changed for over 40 years along with new flavors to keep up with globalization.“

“Est. Clean. Very organized. Food was hot and delicious. Pop rock shake was amazing. Nephew gave it a 10/10.“

“First discovered musabi’s in Hawaii and was excited to find this spot in Santa Monica. The shop is small with no seating, but the food is the real draw. Great selection, fresh and flavorful, and perfect for a quick snack. Love the Santa Monica vibe, a fun place to grab a bite before heading to the beach“

“Fantastic sundaes and a great range of shakes. Great place if you are at Santa Monica Pier“
