Sensational ice cream, worth the price. Innovative flavors that usually come with "something extra " sprinkled on top. Bare-bones shop with no seating. read more

wow... I legit go everyday and I'm not even exaggerating! if I don't go in then I buy a pint and eat it at home.. I'm so serious this is the best place ever, the ice cream feels so light and I introduce everyone I know to this place. It's my favorite snack, sweet treat, and dessert. I love it so much! Especially the different variations of flavors :) i ALSO love the little spoons, I have an obsession with using little spoons for icecream it's the perfect amount to eat at a time... it's my favorite read more

CREAMY HANDCRAFTED NITRO ICE CREAM! Hot damn this was amazing, I was looking for a sweet treat after an event at the Redlands Bowl and saw that this place was literally down the street on Citrus by the Redlands Underground! I saw the major line outside after 10pm and was reluctant but I had intent. Yes, I traversed the pot-infested, seedy underground just to get a specialty ice cream and I'm so happy I did after walking through the nightmare and long line. I got a large (3 scoops) Brown Butter Chocolate Caramel ice cream cup, it was delicious! I'm a huge toffee fan, this ice cream scratched that itch and more! The nitro specialty ice cream has the right texture and it didn't melt easily, it was perfect! The staff was super nice, the girl at the register answered my questions and was friendly despite the busy environment! Á la minute's staff knows how to work under pressure and they were very professional! Some of the patrons were ogres and the staff still treated them kindly. I do not recommend coming here after 8pm as there's a lot of smoking and vaping going on outside and nearby. The patrons were very shady, I wouldn't bring kids late at night. I found á la minute to be very warm and inviting, it has a cool atmosphere but not so trendy that it makes you cringe. Prices are a bit higher but come on, we're talking quality ice cream here. The ice cream joint is also very inclusive, LOVE THEM! Oh and I posted ice cream prices in my pics below if you're interested! Tip: Come EARLIER in the day to avoid the gangbanger patrons and shady folks. read more

Our favorite ice cream spot of a la time. It's tiny and crowded, but it's 100% worth it to take your time and get the best ice cream you've probably ever had. We've tried every flavor, and haven't been disappointed. They have a great rewards program and also are very easy to work with when we needed a large quantity order of pints for a corporate event. My personal favorites: 1. Sea Salt Caramel -- it's simply perfect 2. Lemon Custard (with a strawberry compote) -- after a meal when you need something lighter 3. Vanilla -- when you just need something familiar If you aren't familiar with the area, here are a few other places to hit up that are all a short walk away: 1. Finney's Crafthouse for an amazing pizza, burger or brew 2. The State for amazing poutine, tacos, burgers, cocktails & more 3. Board Game Paradise for a great selection of board & card games 4. The Frugal Frigate is beautiful little children's bookstore 5. A Shop Called Quest has some great comics and far too many funko pops Pro-tip: look for all three Waldo's in the store! read more

Waiting for the District to open we decided to get ice cream next door. Nice people working there, but the wait was incredibly long. I get it... each scoop has to be singularly prepared, but really long wait and a packed little place. Definitely started to get hot with a bunch of people waiting. We also thought the flavors were ok but not the best we've had. For reference we got the strawberry balsamic and espresso chip. We also got the waffle cone which was more pancake in texture. Kind of soft and a little less sweet than we like in a cone. read more

AMBIANCE IS SO CUTE, awesome sauce lgbtq+ flag and black lives matter flag! Love to see businesses actively advocating on current social and political issues so first impressions were already really positive. The store is so cute and all the decor and furniture and whatnot were so cutely themed. I ordered the orange honey with my friend and it tasted so creamy and nice and fresh! Literally tasted like its name (go figure). Services was nice as well! read more

Ala minute is one of my favorite ice cream places hands down! When it first opened I thought it was interesting concept of freezing ice cream on the spot. This is a local's favorite with how they use fresh ingredients from local farms and even the chocolate taste different. They have a lot of flavors that they get inspired from their local flavors and one of my personal favorites is the chocolate lavender. It has cacao nibs with a slight lavender honey that bring in a refreshing taste to your palette. 10/10 read more

Stopped in really wanting ice cream and recognizing this place for when they used to have a spot in old town Orange. We were slightly greeted when we walked in, but it felt kind of awkward while we were looking at the menu. I went with the salted caramel, and my mom went with the espresso. We both ordered the small or mini. My ice cream came out almost immediately while my mom's was a couple orders behind me for some reason. I figured maybe I had ordered a flavor that was already in the process of being made. The inside the store has maybe one or two seats. And the outside of the store has absolutely none. My mom and I had to walk around most of downtown to find somewhere to sit since most restaurants claim their little tables outside. Our ice cream was good. It melted very fast and it wasn't even a very warm day. My ice cream had an overbearing aftertaste of milk. And I get it, ice cream is made from milk, but it was just something that I couldn't kick. read more

Food: alright tis time to finally leave a review here after coming for the 100th time in the last 3 years. What can I say, I just keep coming back again and again despite downtown redlands having 2 other icecream places not too far from here, those pale in comparison. My bf's favorite is chocolate lavender, but my personal favorite is strawberry balsamic. The tart balsamic sauce on top really complements the sweet strawberry flavor icecream underneath and the two in combination are simply magical. If I lived walking distance from this store, I'd already be diabetic from eating this everyday Price: my go to size is regular, which is $6, no complaints here! Ambiance: small space that can only fit like 10 people inside, and it can get crowded since it is the best icecream place in all of IE. Hipster vibes, displays cool artworks on the qall that you can purchase, no seating, only grab and go. I've done plenty of dates where we grab the icecream, then go walk around the downtown area up and down, very cute and romantic Service: nice friendly people who also look cool and hipster, they always seem to be having a good time making delicious icecream Parking: it's downtown redlands, there's street parking, but you can always park inside the public parking structure across from martha green's eating room read more

If you love sour, the lemon custard is for you! The strawberry compote adds a bit of sweetness and works well with the taste combination. The large size gives a generous portion and is worth the wait! I can see why there's a line out the door and the service is fast. The inside is also very nice with good music! read more

à la minute - Brown Butter Chocolate Caramel - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Redlands, California

À La Minute is a small ice cream shop located in Downtown Redlands. The shop has a vintage style, with lots of art. There's minimal seating and it's hard to find parking. The restroom is the next building over. They have lots of unique flavors and the ice cream is made with liquid nitrogen. It's fun to watch them make it. Service was great; there was a large group but the ice cream came out really fast. Overall, ambiance and service was great. Ice Cream We ordered the salted caramel, the chocolate chip, and the vanilla olive oil. All the ice cream is very thick and creamy and all the flavors have a natural taste. The small size was $6 and is a great portion for price and effort to make. The salted caramel was sweet and the salt gave it a nice balance to its sweetness. The chocolate chip had an earthy chocolate flavor that went well with the cream base. The vanilla olive oil was slightly sweet and savory and a great choice if you don't enjoy super sweet things. Overall, I highly recommend trying them out if you're in the area; my absolute favorite ice cream shop. Overall: 5 The ambiance + service: 5/5 The ice cream: 5/5 The price: $$ read more

This place serves up some really great ice cream. This is my second time here, the first time I was here I ordered the espresso chip and this time I got the salted caramel. I'm not sure about the entire formatting or process honestly but they make each order individually so you cant customize or order perhaps two scoops in one cup. I honestly don't get how or why it's a big deal but apparently it is. Imo that limits this place from just being my all time fav ice cream spot but it's still very good. Also, be prepared to wait atleast 5-15 minutes for your order depending on on how busy it is. The shop is cute but tiny so I found myself waiting outside until the line went down. read more

Wooooow this place was SOOOO GOOD!! I loved the honey orange blossom flavor! Super unique and delicious

Creamy, sweet, and natural tasting ice cream. A la minute provides an amazing experience by having flavors that taste very natural yet super tasty. This ice cream is worth it! They have vegan options! The service was fast even while busy! It is a small shop in downtown Redlands, there is minimal indoor seating but various spaces to stroll around and eat your ice cream.

Really disappointed with how this business is choosing to handle a mistake that their employee made. I usually stop at A La Minute 2-3 times per year when i visit big bear. I went in and ordered 4 pints to go (3 Chocolate Chip and 1 strawberry balsamic) and 4 cups that we ate there. Took the ice cream home and discovered a week later that they gave me the wrong flavor for one of the chocolate chip pints (gave me chocolate lavender instead). Bummer as I love their Chocolate Chip and bought pints because I live 1.5 hours away from here. I thought fine, maybe I'll like the chocolate lavender, but no, I didn't like the lavender taste. Put it aside and called A La Minute a week later to let them know and see if I could get the mistake rectified the next time I'm there. I spoke with someone there and their only resolution was to ask me bring the pint back and they could exchange it for the right one since it "had been over 2 weeks so there's nothing he could do". They're asking me to drive a $12 pint of ice cream 1.5 hours away just because they're a "small business and can't afford to just give ice cream away" and that I "should have checked that I got the right ice cream" like it was my fault and I shouldn't trust their workers to pick and pack the right flavor. Now keep in mind I'm asking to just get what I paid for. A simple sorry we'll get you the right flavor next time you're in town would have fixed the issue and I would have continued to be a raving fan and lifelong customer. Now I'm sitting here writing this 1 star review instead of recommending à la minute to everyone I know. I've been an à la minute fan since they had an Orange location and looked forward visiting Redlands every year since all of their other locations have since closed. Too bad this person I spoke with didn't "need me to tell him how to run his business" because if this is how customers are treated for a mistake that an employee made then that explains why there's only one location now. TLDR: great ice cream but shitty ownership. Do better à la minute. read more

à la minute - If they can't read their own writing how do they expect a customer to? - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Redlands, California

Ice cream is excellent-and their paper "cone" holder needs to be redesigned-it leaked ice cream all over my outfit and pants-huge mess-

Each ice cream is made to order so expect a wait for your sweet treat. I like how unique the flavor options are. You can't find these combos elsewhere. I do wish they could somehow let you sample the flavors or let you get multiple flavor options. It's a small store so there's not much seating inside. What we ordered: - Brown butter chocolate caramel: I loved the light chocolate taste. It almost tasted like frozen hot chocolate. The cocoa nib toffee pieces elevated it. - Orange honey: Super refreshing and unique combo. The orange was citrusy but not overpowering. read more

Finally came back for my favorite ice cream place! The place is tiny but cute. Parking is still a little challenging. However, service is fast. Expresso chips, fresh mint chips and salt caramel are the best! You can only get one favorite at the time. The waffle cone is solid but a little too sweet. read more

à la minute offers a unique ice cream experience and flavors with a creative flair. I came on the recommendation of a friend. The quality of ice cream and service were excellent. My espresso chip hit the spot on a hot spring afternoon. Lots of other intriguing flavors to try as well. The storefront itself is inviting and clean, though there is little space so crowds quickly form. If I lived in Redlands, the thing that would hold me back from coming regularly is the price. A bit steep for the quantity of ice cream. A single is definitely small for $4.50. The cost is what discouraged me from trying two flavors. For fun flavors & unique ice cream experience, it's worth the occasional splurge. read more

Was in the area and was craving for some ice cream so decided to stop here. It's a small little shop with no seating area but you can go outside to the benches. The workers were very nice and offered us samples. They do have some interesting flavors but we settled for the espresso chip ice cream. I think it's a bit lacking when it comes to flavor. I would've liked if the espresso flavor was stronger. read more

Absolute Must Have! If you have not tried the ice-cream here you are missing out. A-la-Minute is one one hip place that welcomes all. There is a nice variety of original flavors to try and each are different. The service here is friendly so if you are not sure sure which flavor to order you can sample some of them before you decide. My personal favorites is the Orange Honey and the Coffee flavored one. A-la-Minute always draws a crowd and is a popular place since they opened 10+ years ago. There used to be a location in Downtown Claremont, but Redlands is the only location in operation since the "covid-19 pandemic" affected the restaurant industry. Last but not least, Redlands is one great place to spend the afternoon and evening. Stopping in for ice-cream here is a MUST. Enjoy! read more

A little shop with some unique flavors and some unique way of making ice cream. I didn't fully understand what they do, but it involves liquid nitrogen and somehow making your ice cream to order. I've had salted caramel one, and absolutely loved it. Heard from several locals that this is one of the best ice creams you can have, and now I believe them! Will be back for sure to try more, especially during some hot Inland Empire summers. read more

THE ORANGE HONEY. Insert clapping emoji between the words. Y'all, my Chinese doctor told me not to eat iced things yet I still ate many scoops of this dessert not being able to stop myself. This place makes ice cream from scratch using liquid nitrogen in mixers with fog coming out of the bowl. The ice cream itself was so creamy and rich, but also has an orange undertone. The whole ensemble was topped with a net of orange blossom honey. If you're looking for a dessert place to stop by on the way home from a weekend trip to Big Bear, this little place in downtown Redlands may suit your needs. Though, I would warn against using the bathrooms because the hallways and bathroom had a spooky vibe. read more

What a little gem in this little city of Redlands. We were passing through visiting family who recommended we swing by. So much fun to watch them make the ice cream and waffle cones right there in front of you. They have some interesting flavors like strawberry with balsamic glaze which was amazing. I'd suggest that they add stripes of glaze throughout though because once you eat it off the top, you're left wanting. Vanilla was good, chocolate orange was good but a tad bitter, lemon custard was yum yum but the star was their espresso! So much flavor. Probably the best coffee ice cream I've eaten. The waffle cones were good because they weren't overly sweet. The place is really small and there's no seating but you can go to the side window and watch them make the stuff which was really fun. I highly recommend you stop by if in the area. read more
