50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Valley Village

“We just did a Girl Scout Tour and Alex was amazing! Great store, clean, organized and delicious frozen yogurt given with a lot Smiles. Thank you!“

“great place for ice cream“

“Last time I went I had the fior de latte, pistachio, hazelnut flavors which are absolutely amazing. They have so many interesting seasonal flavors like tiramisu, peach, truffle, and even rhubarb. Its amazing the amount of international presence in the ice cream. All natural ingredients, nothing artificial, everything tastes so organic, smooth, and exactly like the base flavor. And the owners are so charming and hard working. However, it is VERY expensive for ice cream, id go back everyday if 3 scoops and waffle cone wasnt almost 20 bucks. I understand it is because everything is to the highest standard and super amazing quality, unfortunately the price is just very high. So all in all, amazing treat, amazing place, with high price tag.“

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

“Seaport, Boston location. Staff MADE SURE I was picking the flavor that I really wanted. They wanted me to feel like a welcome tourist. Mission Accomplished.“

“Hands down they are the THE BEST!! We hosted a teacher appreciation event for a local school & the ice cream truck was a HUGE hit! So impressed with the customer service and we love supporting small business like them! Thank you!“

“Ending our dinner at Sugarfish, the host recommended we try Van Leeuwen Ice Cream..and wow, I’m so glad we did. I got the Earl Grey and Sugar Cookie Dough, and it was absolutely delicious. The small cup was the perfect amount to end the evening.

The cashier was incredibly kind and let us sample several flavors until we found the ones we loved, which made the experience even better. Everything was so yummy 😋

Highly recommend if you’re near one of their locations..and bonus, they have vegan options too!“

“Had it yesterday, hands down best Ice cream I had, the hurricane is great, if you love pistachio ice cream this is the place, not to sweet, my kid loved the smores ice cream and got ice cream specially made for a dog. Will definitely go back.“

I have to mention they have a lot of vegan options too! And lastly, the staff is really nice which makes the overall experience really great. 😊“

“Ice cream and vegan ice cream“

“Pink rose ice cream for the win!!!“

“If you're walking on the sidewalk in Echo Park, and see a Hopscotch court on the ground, you might have stumbled upon one of the best ice cream shops in the area. That's exactly what happened to a couple of friends and I as we were venturing out into the wilderness on a Saturday evening. Fluffy McCloud not only has atmosphere and pizzazz, but they also pride themselves in using only whole, organic ingredients. Inside this fine establishment, you'll find a working jukebox, a coin-operated gumball machine filled with Lactaid pills (yes, they thought of EVERYTHING), a perpetual motion machine (like a Space Rail), and awesome and friendly staff that dispatch everyone quickly, yet in a professional and friendly manner. My favorite flavor was Thelma Vanilla (yes, I'm very basiq, I know lol), and I had it in a sugar wafer ice cream cone (highly recommend it over having it in a cup). Definitely a 10/10 ice cream shop in one of the most fun and interesting neighborhoods of Los Angeles.“

“The chocolate cookies & cream was my favorite though could have been better w more cookies and fresher, crunchier cookies; the hojicha was better than expected; and the gaviota strawberry tasted of real, sweet strawberry. Updated from previous review on 2025-10-02“

“Truly the best tasting non-dairy ice cream I’ve ever had! Can’t choose a favorite flavor…they are all so delicious! Simple, healthy but delicious ingredients without the gums or other fillers that make other non-dairy ice creams take a toll on your body. And so many new flavors all the time. Really amazed how delicious they each are— pure alchemy! (Hope they expand locations to Venice.)“

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

“great place for ice cream“

“Shout-out to the team at Salt & Straw.

I’m usually a creature of habit here. I know what I’m getting before I even arrive. I’ll sample the seasonal and the oddball flavors for fun, but nine times out of ten, I end up right where the tourists do. Honey Lavender on a sugar cone. Locked in. No notes.

This visit, I was sampling as usual when a team member offered me a flavor and thoughtfully let me know it contained trace amounts of alcohol. I appreciated the heads-up. I took the sample, said “thank you, that’s fine,” then jokingly added that I was only 92 days sober and chuckled. The look on her face was of nervousness. I immediately told her it was a joke, and she carried on with assisting me.

In hindsight, I felt a little bad for putting her in that moment, but what stood out was how professionally and kindly she handled it. She stayed composed, respectful, and warm the entire time.

That kind of response says a lot, not just about her, but about the team culture at this location.

Sampling here always feels welcoming, never rushed, never awkward, even when customers deliberately make things… momentarily awkward.

Consistent quality, great energy, and a team that clearly knows how to handle people with care. Much appreciated 🍦👑“

“I ordered a decaf iced mocha affogato with oat milk and it was delicious. Such rich flavor from the melted gelato. Infinitely better than fake syrups, sugary cloud creams, etc. Would highly recommend getting an espresso drink here!! Best coffee!“

“My kids and I came out on vacation four years ago and found Leeuwen in West Hollywood. We ended up going for dessert every evening, so on our return trip recently we had to stop in

Glad to see that customer service has remained exceptional and the ice cream delicious !“

“Artisanal ice cream. Very good.“

“I am usually not the type to write a review, but the service that Sebastian provided was top tier. Sebastian allowed us to sample some products and provided some creative suggestions when it came to combination like a peanut butter and jelly like option when it came to gelato. He was extremely patient with me as I made chose a flavor or gelato to take home and even promoted the points system when imputing our phone number before purchasing it. His service alone is 5 stars alone and the products that were sold were extremely delicious as well, I am looking forward to trying more flavors and running into him again for more suggestions he comes across of.“

“Fun, unique once cream flavors that are acutally yummy. Had the strawberry, honey, balsamic (forgot to take a pic) and the strawberry didn't taste fake. Was open late at the WeHo location. Can't wait to go back. Helpful staff.“

“delicious. adorable highly recommend“

“the most dense, full-contact peanut butter experience i've ever had in treat form; the peanut butter shake is sweet yes, but also absurdly rich, like someone concentrated a whole jar of peanut butter into it, just wish there were more brownie pieces for that price.. i also sampled the lavender froyo and was surprised that it held the same richness without falling into soap territory: sweet-floral, clean, and refreshing. honestly would've gone for a full scoop of that if i wasn't commuting right after; such lovely-attentive staff, this frozen treat spot is a gem, especially after some silverlake flea browsing 🍦“

“The Pricing of the is much lower than most places, you get the toppings for free with no cost extra. You get a lot of ice cream for $13 which you get 12oz for that much. Good choices of exterior to look a bit fancy at cheap for what it looks like“

“Unique and flavorful selections of pies and sortserve.“

“best ice dessert !!!“

“Honestly, about the best gelato I’ve had outside of Italy. I’ve had gelato in Rome and Venice, Amsterdam in various other countries. Gelato in the United States has always pale in comparison but this place does it right. However, at $10 for a small you’re absolutely gonna pay for it and it boggles my mind how desensitize people have come to just opening their wallets.“

“Bacio Di Latte is now my go to for good pistachio ice cream. Many pistachio ice creams have that off-putting minty/cherry flavor from almond extract. But not Bacio di latte. It's subtly sweet and creamy from the milk and wonderfully enhanced by the nutty flavor from pistachio. Does melt a little quickly than your normal ice cream, however. :)“

“In the heart ♥️ of the beautiful downtown of Culver City Salt & Straw Is there waiting for you to go and taste they’re vegan ice cream 🍦 with fresh waffle cones 😋yummy . The place is nice,clean ,friendly staff and you get one hour free parking“

“We had an amazing experience at Bango Creamery! The rolled ice cream was super fresh and delicious, and it was fun watching it being made. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The shop was clean and had a great vibe. Definitely coming back again!“

“My friend put me on to yogurt gelato and she said this place’s version matches to what she had in Italy! It’s like a froyo taste but a fluffy and creamy version. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of coffee, hazelnut, or pistachio, there’s still something for you here.

I also got the crema torino (hazelnut experience), which is a little less sweet than its pistachio counterpart. I don’t think they have a single flavor that isn’t a hit. A lot of the flavors are similar, so just sample the ones you are curious about if you want to figure out the difference because there usually is a subtle one! This location is smaller than the one in Beverly Hills but with the same cute interior and fantastic service. While it can be a little pricey, it’s honestly not any more expensive than any of the other dessert spots in the area and they cram an extremely generous portion into the cup.“

“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.“

“obsessed with the Earl grey ice cream!!“

“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!!!“

“Sure, might be a bit of a wait and it is a little pricy. But wow! Delicious, healthy and sustainable shop.
The lady holding down the fort made sure that all the ingredients of my smoothie wouldn’t upset my chronically ill bowel. And poured the excess smoothie in a second smoothie cup. Thank you.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“I was introduced to La Michoacana about a year ago and I’ve been going back ever since. I’m always greeted with a smile and the selection is amazing. My favorite is the Mangoneada. This place always has parking, is clean and there’s always a table to sit and enjoy.“

“Phenomenal service and amazing Gelato in the Italian style from Argentina 🇦🇷. Very friendly and welcoming. Lots of places to sit, work, visit. They've even got a back patio with gorgeous umbrellas. Great wifi and also coffee options. Support local and come enjoy some of the best coffee and dessert in LA“
