    My fav ice cream shop !!! I missed them so much we went to Redlands to visit them again. Nitrogen ice cream. Texture is perfect. Quality ingredients!! Fun flavors. I got myself a mint and chip. Light mint flavor. High quality parliament chocolate. So good. Had a really good experience with the staff also. Definitely a must stop if you love Ice cream

    vanilla chocolate chip so yummy
    Jessica L.

    Loved my icecream! Super friendly staff, fast service, decent price, and awesome icecream! I loved my mini chocolate chip- it was perfect size and taste! Very happy with my experience and even when it looks busy, they still serve fast. It was great and I cannot wait to try more!!!

    TIL THIS DAYYYY this is my favorite ice cream parlor J have ever, & probably will ever, go to. If you can make time to stop at À la Minute even once in your lifetime, I PROMISE you won't be disappointed. They make the ice cream freshly using nitrogen right in front of you. They have the BEST ice cream flavors, namely: - mint chocolate chip- so creamy & flakey chocolate topping - salted caramel- a real kick of flaky sea salt on top of the creamy caramel base - vanilla- sounds simple, but it is THE perfect vanilla. They have vegan, dairy free options too.

    Thank you Yelpers for leading me to this local ice cream shop in the heart of historic downtown Redlands. With it's large number of reviews and high ratings as compared to familiar franchise and chain locations, there was no way that I would pass up something good around the corner during a recent visit! The menu contains some specialty flavors such as avocado as well as some more typical but unique flavors such as espresso chip. I can never pass up a good coffee-flavored ice cream, and with a fellow Yelper's rave review, I jumped on the opportunity. And it did not disappoint! Besides the yummy presentation of my mini cup of ice cream that was sprinkled with chocolate powder, the ice cream was smooth, creamy and flavorful. It is especially good since it isn't masked with sweetness like.some places do and so the coffee flavor was perfectly balanced. A definite recommend for a sweet something treat!

    Strawberry and chocolate chip ice cream.

    WOW! Ice cream was SO creamy! Strawberry tasted like Haagen Dazs but way better. Can't wait to go again.

    Ever since I lived in the area over 10 years ago I've loved à la minute's nitrogen ice cream and am sad that their other locations Orange and Temecula have closed. This is the last remaining location and I stopped by during a road trip. Husband and I got the avocado honey and Brown Butter Chocolate Caramel. Both flavors were delicious. The avocado ice cream actually tastes like fresh avocado (and not frozen avocado) and is soooo smooth. The brown butter chocolate caramel has delightful hard caramel toffee bits and gives a nice texture. This is the smoothest dense ice cream ever! My previous favorite was the orange honey flavor, but the orange flavor and orange pulp bits aren't as prominent anymore so it's been demoted.

    á la minute has the best ice cream in the IE I refuse to eat ice cream anywhere else lol i've been getting ice cream from here for the past 12 years, and they're still amazing. We drive from Riverside to come get their ice cream. The wait can be hit or miss, but even if there's a line out the door, it's still worth the wait. My top ice creams are: 1) chocolate lavender 2) vanilla bean w/ olive oil 3) espresso chip 4) strawberry balsamic There a lots of more options but those are my favs; i'm sure everything on the menu is yummy here!!

    I can see why this is a busy spot compared to other ice cream spots in the area. What's very convenient is that the parking lot is just across the street so you don't have to keep looping around for street parking. This place is really tiny so not much seating space. Luckily there's plenty of seating around the area, just circle around the block a bit. People here were very nice and let us taste a few flavors. Once I tasted the vanilla bean olive oil... that was game for me. It was super smooth, not too sweet, and they even drizzle olive oil on top.

    Okay hands down best ice cream ever!!! You have not been it's an absolute must! That espresso chip ice cream oh my absolutely phenomenal one of my favorite ice creams I have to say!!!!! Friendly staff and delicious ice cream seriously what could go wrong I highly recommend stopping in and trying it

    This ice cream shop is super cute. I was next door at a Yelp Elite event at Batter Rebellion (also sooo good), and saw this place so I had to pop in. There's a pride flag and Black Lives Matter sign hanging up on their walls so I immediately knew they were a vibe! It's small and cozy inside. Not really a place to sit and chill but good to grab a quick ice cream. The person behind the counter was very nice and friendly. They advised that they were able to offer samples but limited to 2 per person. That was plenty enough to figure out what I wanted. I went for the brown butter chocolate flavor. The texture of the ice cream was super rich and creamy...not icey. I loved it! Their nitrogen process makes it so that the consistency is just perfect. The chocolate was decadent. So delish! I wanna go back and try more from this place!

    Hold Up! Wait a Minute! Let them put some Boom in it! If you're down with it then we're both in it to win it anyway you spin it. Their ice cream will make your tongue cream with flavors that are a dream. So let me tell you what made my eyes beam. I started off with the Olive Oil Vanilla Bean and this made my tastebuds scream with pleasure so let me tell you about the next pleasure. Orange Honey was next and this definitely passed the test and I can say it's above the rest. And Yes they do have other ice cream shops here but my tastebuds just lay out a sneer. The shop is kinda small but the flavors run tall. Service was on the level and that's all from this here devil. And that's my take on this shop, Peace.

    Soo no one wasn't going to tell me about this little gem!! Walked in and the employees were honestly the best!!! Great customer service. They do have a variety of different selections which I totally love. But not to the point where you don't know, more on they are all so good. The strawberry, avocado, and salted Carmel are my top 3. They do have little barrels you could sit on but limited seating. Pricing is pretty decent. But if you're going to get a cone pls don't get the mini serving, you'll have more cone than ice cream. Haha

    Whenever I'm in Redlands, I just have to stop here. This place does not disappoint. It wasn't busy at all when I went. I ordered the chocolate lavender with cacao nibs. Didn't really taste the lavender but that's okay cos I love chocolate. The cacao nibs were kind of stuck together. Overall, this is a place to. Heck out if you're ever in Redlands.

    In your dairy ice cream products do they have oils I know some ice cream uses coconut oil, I have a coconut allergy just wanted to verify before I order? Thank you

They were so generous with their portions for a surprisingly low price. I ordered a banana split back then, and they doubled every single scoop!

When I heard they opened a location right here in Redlands, CA, I knew we had to go check it out. The Redlands store did not disappoint!

It was a very hot Saturday and some ice cream sounded good. The hours posted state they open at 11am. It was 11:30 and the doors were locked, no employees in sight. Odd, as the lights were on, and the sidewalk signs were out. At least 7 other patrons also tried to enter and all of us were frustrated. With the insulting prices they charge, it might be best to be open and serve customers. After reading a lot of negative reviews it looks like a return visit will not happen. Too many other places to get a cool refreshing treat.

Bahama Bucks, the last of its name in Southern California, is, on my opinion, the best shaved ice place. Period. Been to multiple locations on Oahu and Maui as well, and I'll still take Bahama Bucks. What makes it so different? It's the shaved ice itself. It's just different, once the tutoring touches it, the texture changes to this smooth, almost creamy, texture, yet still shaved ice. And with a plethora of flavorings, and the it's I've tried (Cherry, Strawberry, Mango, Pink Lemonade, Tigers Blood), it just transforms into this luscious dessert. There are also around five different sizes you can get. The small is a good size for I've person, though the regular will be here if you're hungry. Bigger than that and it is made for two people. If you live in the area, definitely go to Bahama Bucks and enjoy their amazing shaved ice. Your mouth will be glad you went
