50 Best Ice Cream Shops near South Pasadena

“I have been enjoying Baskin-Robbins for many years since I was very young I can remember my parents take myself and my two brothers enjoying a scoop of ice cream that's bring good memories in my childhood. My wife loves Baskin-Robbins also especially so many flavors to pick and flavor of the month. Every time we go out we always go to a Baskin-Robbins.“

“This is a great place to taking cooking classes and pick up new skills. Everyone is super friendly and you get to work with different ingredients you may not normally work with at home. I highly recommend checking out this spot if you’ve been considering taking a cooking class“

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

“I am not sure why 626 Ice Cream has such bad reviews.

I had heard lots about this place, but due to them mostly being open on weekday nights, didn't have a chance to try them until yesterday afternoon.

I enjoyed the calming ambiance. Everything seemed randomly arranged, however it went well with the area.

The ice cream served here is very delicious and creamy, so if you like that type of style, you're better off coming here. I got the condensed milk and black sesame flavors with sprinkles, Gummy bears and mochi. Their mochi bin was nearly empty, and I discovered why when I ate my dessert. I mean, the other two toppings were also tasty and I'm glad I didn't do just mochi, but mochi had to be the best out of the three toppings I had.

Would come back if I were in the area!“

“great place for ice cream“

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

“Scoops is the kind of ice cream shop where you discover flavors you never imagined—brown bread, lavender honey, and more. The texture is creamy without being heavy. Prices are reasonable for artisanal ice cream. It’s a small space, but service is fast and friendly. Always something new to try.“

“So cool to be appreciated, and have our spirits lifted at KP LAMC Rehab with Pazzo Gelato!“

“The best ❣️ Their vegan flavors are great“

“best gelati spot I ever found is gelationbrand must try“

“Stopped by this ice cream shop on a beautiful saturday evening. Had a cool old school vibe to it with a jukebox. We sampled various flavors (hibiscus sorbet, pistachio, mint chip, chocolate, coconut). I went with the coconut on a cone. It was good! I would definitely come back and try other flavors.“

“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!“

My daughter loves it, especially vanilla flavor.
The pistachio and cherry vanilla are my favorites.
The 4 scoop box is budget friendly and gives you a chance to taste 4 different flavors.“

“Delicious!!! Sweet treat that hits the spot - not too sweet, refreshing, and overall very yummi. Our fam got La Toxica, Horchaty, and a drill your own with froyo + banana + strawberry (granola topping). Their pink truck is located at the corner of York & 51st.“

“We come here weekly for ice cream and coffee on weekends. Ice cream is delicious! Very flavorful but not overly sweet. My favorite flavor is the Stracciatella or cookie butter, but they are all good. Seasonal eggnog ice cream is our favorite. Coffee is absolute perfection. Cortado and Latte are especially good. Handcrafted drinks, made with love. The owner is super nice, always takes time to talk to my son and I. This place is a gem, and it is run by genuinely kind and good people. The outdoor seating is also a prefect way to relax with your yummy ice cream or perfectly frothed coffee.“

“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!“

“Love this place. The peanut butter is by far the best flavor IMO but many others are great too. I order on Postmates all the time and they always get the order right. I also really appreciate the GF cones for my fiancee, who has celiac disease!“

“Ice cream and vegan ice cream“

“I don't crave ice cream often but when I do, I expect nothing but the best. My girlfriend recommended we go to this spot because it's been a staple in the area over the years.

I ordered their banana split and it was THEBOMB.COM. I 100% recommend this spot but keep in mind that this place is CASH ONLY.“

“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“

“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.“

“Well, I'll start with the taste that crepes have. Soooo delicious! I can't get enough of those crepes. I guess I found a new favorite place!Second of all this is a family own place and I would suggest you all to stop by and try their goodies and support their small business!10 out of 10!!!“

“Their ice cream are so delicious 😋 We had so much fun and memorable get together with our family who came to visit out of States for the holidays.“

“Ice Cream Occasions was such a fun and unique addition to our event! The ice cream cart looked great and added a nostalgic touch, and the selection of treats was perfect. The staff was super friendly and made everything really easy, from booking to setup. It definitely made the day feel extra special, and I’d totally recommend them for any party or event.“

“Major props to Los Alpes Ice Cream. I get nostalgic every time I come here. I have been visiting since I was a kid and the memories I have from this place are all great. The quality is just as good today as it was back then. I literally met my best friend here over 30 years ago and the interior still looks exactly the same.

I love coming here every chance time permits when I am visiting Los Angeles. It is one of those places that brings me right back and it never disappoints.

The flavor selection is amazing. Even though I usually keep it simple with cookies and cream, I have a hard time resisting the mamey and nuez every single time. Their ice creams are packed with ingredients. Cookies and cream is loaded with actual cookies and the nuez has that perfect nutty richness in every bite.

The staff and owner are always attentive, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. This place is a true Los Angeles institution. It still surprises me how many people do not know about this gem. If you have never been, do yourself a favor and check it out. You will see why it has been around for decades.“

“This Taiyaki + Ice Cream place is at the level of other giants such as SomiSomi. The soft serve has a perfect texture (I tried the Pure Milk flavor with a Taiyaki on top, the Taiyaki being filled with Nutella), the service is quick and efficient, and the store was crowded when my two friends and I went on a Saturday evening. The ambiance is great too, there are so many pictures showing what the options are like, and there are clearly-illustrated menus spread throughout the restaurant. The toppings are available for the customers to grab and add to their ice cream as they wish, and everything, from the Oreo crumbs to the Banana chips are great. You can truly feel that every single item in this store is, indeed, made With Love.“

“Old-school fast-food chain famous for soft serve. Their “chocolate dipped” cone still tastes nostalgic. I got the cheeseburger and fries; patties were thin but seasoned, fries crispy. Classic shake is thick and rich. Place felt like stepping back to the ‘60s—a simple joy.“

“Best Frozen Yogurt Ever Tasted“

“We enjoy FF, but our location @Whittier and Orme Ave desperately needs a refresh of the paint and sign. It would be such a bright spot in the neighborhood! It could be a great marketing event.“

“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.“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“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.“

“The peanut butter prana soft serve is unmatched. I can't remember trying any other soft serve that came close to it. If you are feeling realllly adventurous, go for a banana split (I'd go with PB/chocolate/PB for the soft serve flavors, topped with brownie bites or mochi.“

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

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

“Best ice-cream shop around. I Love their variety of ice cream. I can’t decide which is my favorite one. The workers are friendly and helpful.
The music playing was inappropriate for the few children in the shop. I won’t get into details, but it was definitely inappropriate.“

“Lo recomiendo bien deliciosos Nieves paletas de buen sabor 🥭 Mi favorito Mangonada“

“Wonderful Customer Service!! It's about time we have a new Ice Cream Shop in this neighborhood! A nice spot to visit for afternoon, evening or after dinner sweet treat. Here is proof that there are still some good things happening in South L.A., and Jayis Ice Cream Shop is one of them. Come check ' em out, you'll love it!! :-) :-* <3“

“Best cookies I’ve ever had ! Open long hours so easy to get cookies after work or on the weekends. Good customer service. There’s nothing not to like. Yummy“

“Went here on a whim on a Saturday evening after going to Gold Line. There was a line but it moved pretty quick. Enough time to look at the vast ice cream menu.

I sampled a Texas Sheet Cake and got a Miso Butterscotch Brownie. Both were delicious!

Overall, highly recommend coming here. Delicious ice cream set in a historical building. Service was nice too.“

“Absolutely amazing ice cream 🍨“

“Best matcha in LA. They do one thing and one thing incredibly well… MATCHA. The drinks, soft serve are top notch. I wish they had more locations but always worth the trip to buy matcha to take home or a drink to enjoy while walking little tokyo“

“I came here with my family over the weekend and loved the experience so much I was compelled to write my first Google review ever!

Seriously, this place is so family friendly. My daughter loves all of the crazy flavors and combinations. The best part to me is the quality of the ice cream. You can really tell the difference because they actually make their ice cream onsite instead of transporting it. Definitely will be coming back here again with my family.“

“I wish they made Thrifty ice cream with out sugar for diabetes. The could make it with stevia, malitol or erithratol.“

“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“
