“Some of the best ice cream can be found here! I was a bit reluctant at first but after trying a sample of the strawberry ice cream, I was hooked. Got a waffle cone of it and hands down, their waffle cones are the best. It’s the sweet spot of not too soft and not too hard. Best part is the wonderful lady who helped us was extremely friendly. Along with all of this, there is plenty of seating inside and outside. Highly recommend a visit here if you love ice cream!!“

“TBH i was just sad stumbled upon this ice cream place and it had to be the lord to bring me to this angel, i sampled flavors with Chevy and honestly i dont remember how they tasted they weren't as memorable as she was man, she lifted my spirits that day with her smile her kind words and most of all her bright personality! I know it was the man above who drew me into Salt & Straw that day to be blessed hy the lovely chevy, she will always be a memory of an Angel from that day?.“

“Artisanal ice cream. Very good.“

“A friend recommended this place claiming it’s one of the best ice creams worldwide. I wanted to try, so I ordered child’s size Vegan Belgian Chocolate, Cioccolato Belga, since they added this non-diary version to the menu. OMG and thank you! It’s unbelievable how good it is! So rich and delicious.The guy reaction who was sitting next to us was the same: “it’s really good!”. Go, and try. You can thank me later ?

Vegetarian options: Vegan options are Sorbets and Vegan Belgian Chocolate. Not many but still absolutely worth a try!“

“Agua fresca and ice cream so good,variety of flavors 😋😋😋“

“A cool dessert spot in Sawtelle. It seems it can become very crowded, I was a bit surprised by the long line.

I had not been here in a very long time.

It seemed pretty similar to before. I like this spot, it’s nice place to get a taiyaki with a bit more sweet.

There is no seating inside. Wait time can be long when the line is long. And, parking can be tricky.
But besides that it’s a nice place to try for something different than your regular ice cream place.“

“Was looking for an authentic gelato spot and this is definitely that! They have an amazing array of flavors that are all super creamy. The did a great job with the decor and it is in a nice location! Will definitely be back again many times!“

“Delicious and creamy gelato. I got the dark chocolate and pistachio scoops on a pistachio filled waffle bowl. The gelato wasn't too sweet and the staff let us try a lot of different flavors. I really liked the hazelnut flavor too. Hit the spot after a ramen dinner.“

“Absolutely the best ice cream and service in LA. Every location is consistant and delicious. My only complaint is they discontinued the vegan mint chip!!! Bring it back! Absolutely yummy. And so great to kids. And their sprinkles don’t have the gross dyes in them so I can be fun mom.“

“Visiting the Pittsburgh area, we decided to stop and try Jeni's splendid Ice Cream. 100% recommend!! The waffle cone was freshly made, crunchy and delishious! My family and I all enjoyed the flavors of ice cream we each had! our server was so polite and happy! thank you! we will be back!❤️“

“Technically Beverly Hills is across the street, lol. It doesn't matter because the food is incredible. The meat ravioli is the best anywhere. They also offer a meatball the size of your fist.

Not sure if it's still the case, but they only accepted cash whenever I've eaten there. The place is a bit cramped and they always seem to be quite busy.“

“very good.. and it's right next to Joe's Pizza 😋“

“I came here to say, I have never heard of this brand before but last night while shopping at my local Jay C (kroger), I stumbled across the Gluten free Gooey Butter cake ice cream and i’m so very glad I did!!! it’s delicious!!!! It’s not often us Gf people get to have cake and I actually don’t care for ice cream. I rarely eat it but that has all changed thanks to Jeni’s. I love it so much I might have ate half of it in one sitting….we listen and we don’t judge 😝. A+++++++++. Please don’t stop making this!“

“Salt & Straw offers a one-of-a-kind ice cream experience with bold, creative flavors and top-tier quality. The staff is friendly, the waffle cones are heavenly, and each scoop tells a story. The monthly ice cream series keeps me coming back! October has the best flavors in my opinion, candytopia should be on the menu all year long! Must try ice cream“

“Salt & Straw is an ice cream shop nestled on the iconic Sunset Blvd, in Silver Lake section of LA. This Orgeon based ice cream shop has a modest selection of handmade ice cream flavors. I rarely eat ice cream but today I was compelled due to 90 degree weather. I came and was given a perfunctory melancholic greeting by a young female staff. It was my first time tasting this brand of ice cream; I had a scoop of Coffee & Love Nuts flavor over a waffle cone which cost $8.15 bucks. Its texture was thicc, flavorful and very sweet. I had to drink water afterwards to ease the sweetness.

Service was on point. Staff needs to improve customer service greeting which was non-existent. Prices are okay. Overall, I liked my ice cream but I had better.“

“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!“

“Fell in love with each and every bite of my crêpe. NomZ 😋“

“TLDR: aesthetic ice cream shop with vegan ice cream that's actually soooo yummy.

ORDER
greenglow matcha, calamansi condensed coconut ripple, saffron pistachio date rosewater, gaviota strawberry

5/5 — ALL ICE CREAM FLAVORS
I had no idea it was vegan until I saw the reviews on here! I recommend pairing the Calamansi with the Matcha—it tastes like a matcha lemonade. Other than that, the ice cream was absolutely amazing.

PARKING
Only street parking in Larchmont, so I wish you all the best.

SERVICE
A long line formed right after we arrived, but we noticed it was moving efficiently while we enjoyed our ice cream.

ATMOSPHERE
All outdoor seating, which is covered. Probably the most aesthetically pleasing architecture for an ice cream shop in LA.“

“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.“

“Excellent service. Friendly and professional. Menu is loaded by great selections. Definitely recommend.“

“delicious. adorable highly recommend“

“best ice dessert !!!“

“Wanderlust Ice Cream is a must-visit! The warm and welcoming atmosphere added to the experience, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a treat. The staff was so kind, letting us sample several flavors before we chose. We went with some unique options, and each one was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I like the yogurt, but am unhappy with the price increase. I ordered a mini size raspberry cup with a vanilla base and was charged $5.05. That is a little too much.“

“So delicious!! Service was fun and excellent! Whatever ingredients are used to make the ice cream is fantastic! I felt great after, no bloating at all. Why would I add that, you may wonder?? I'm a BIT lactose intolerant and just couldn't resist when walking by!!??‍♀️ I was completely fine after having the entire cup. THAT'S A HUGE DEAL and shows how great they are.“

“My family love this place! My wife, kiddos, and I came to get rolled ice-cream. The two young ladies running this place are amazing!! Recommend families to come with their little ones for ice cream with the best customer service and childrens music. ??“

“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)!“

“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!“

“We come almost once a week but this week had Gabby help us and she is a STAR! She literally brightened our whole day and we’re really grateful for her service and kindness. Thought that should be celebrated so sharing how incredible she is here :)“

“Such a fun spot! The sweet girl that served me was super friendly and helpful with my order, making the experience even better. Watching them make the rolled ice cream right in front of you is an experience in itself. The flavors are delicious, and the toppings are so generous. Perfect treat for when you're craving something sweet and unique!“

“great place for ice cream“

“After trying to find vegan ice cream/soft serve shops in the area we finally found it!!! Such a nice little spot tucked away in Glendale with outdoor seating in front and in the back. They have so many options and everything is vegan! Can’t wait to go back🔥“

“A really cool and modern ice cream shop with soooo many tasty flavours! They had classic flavours plus original ones too. I got the pumpkin with a waffle cone and it was sooo good! I'd never heard of Van Leeuwen before but now they're on my radar - I'll be looking out for them for sure!“

“Cantaloop Frozen Yogurt is great. It is not to be confused with the eatery that is right next to it and taking part of the outside. This is a wonderful yogurt shop and they even have Thai Ice Tea.

This place is family owned and the service is just amazing. The prices are fair and the place is spotless.

Any type of creamy frozen yogurt they have and they also have wonderful toppings.

It is such a cute place on Hollywood Blvd. You will just love it.

They have all the typical flavors and each one is great. You will love it.“

“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“

“There’s nothing more impressing than finishing off your day with a nice cup of yogurt mixed in with delicious toppings today decided to get adventurous. I went back to my neighborhood and I said tiny little shop that I’ve been dying to check out as it would turn out I would not regret it he would welcome the next.

I got addicted right away young lady behind the counter. She knew how to read me. She was the peanut butter that I don’t remember a single word she said other than would you like to pay for your medium now?

I had to have vanilla cake pieces and then some mulberries over the top of heaven allow me to sit ambience very historical part of town… Before you come here you need to remember something down

this is a cash less business so bring your card or bring your electronic payment and to remember to if you have any food, allergies to almonds or cashews make sure you tell them when you come in But other than that, you don’t have to worry about any of that.

The only thing you need to worry about is gaining 15 pounds because everything was delicious here and butter.Prana I wanna!!“
