Everyone who works here looks like they hates life... but the ice cream is very good, so it kind of balances out. The lighting is so dim that the place constantly looks closed. Like you'll walk by, hesitate, second guess yourself, maybe even keep going, and then realize nope -- it's actually open. So yeah, if it looks closed, it probably isn't. Once you get past that weird first impression, it does exactly what you want it to do. Good ice cream, good textures, and one of those spots where whatever you order is probably going to make you happy anyway. So don't let the gloomy lighting or dead-inside staff energy scare you off. Just go in and get the ice cream. You'll be happier than everyone working there. read more

My partner and I stopped in for a quick treat. Service here was quick, and the worker let us try a few different flavors which was nice. My partner and I both have had afters a few times, but it's been a while, so it was nice to try some things again I got two scoops: one of Saigon coffee and the other of ube brownie. The Saigon coffee is very coffee forward, and is probably my favorite coffee flavored ice cream. The ube brownie is sweet and creamy. My partner also got two scoops, one of his was the milk and cereal flavor which comes with a topping of dried cereal of your choice. read more

It's been a while since I've had Afters so coming here after Pantages was a win! I had the matcha berry crunch with strawberry cookie crunch and Afters flakes. Loved the matcha and realized I don't like the strawberry crunch as much as I remembered. The cookie butter and milk & cereal are so good here. They only accept card and they have merchandise for sale. read more

Delicious sorbet and ice cream in a quick to-go spot. Lots of fun flavors and good toppings and while it is a bit pricey, it feels like it has quality ingredients.

After catching up with a friend over lunch, we decided to treat ourselves to some ice cream and found this spot just a short walk from the restaurant we had eaten at. As soon as we got there, the matcha ice cream immediately caught my eye. I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't overly sweet, which I really appreciated. As an Angeleno, I tend to avoid this busy, tourist heavy area, but this place might just be worth a stop next time I'm across the street at Amoeba Music. A solid treat. read more

I stopped in here after a musical at the Pantages. It is very sparse in every way. There were not a lot of flavor options. The most disappointing was they don't have hot fudge!!! I'm ok with plain vanilla if hot fudge is involved. I ended up ordering a milkshake. It was not as thick as I like. It did have a wide impressive straw! It was runny in a way. The flavor was just ok. The service was decent but I wouldn't say friendly exactly. read more

Absolutely incredible ice cream! So many flavors, and there's vegan options for my vegan friends. You get the sample the flavors before you have them, which is great. A lot of delicious toppings. Also a good portion size per scoop of ice cream. Very good desert to get after a dinner or a lunch. The employees always know the best combinations of flavors and toppings, so I'd ask them what they recommend too if you're looking for something special! Their employee, Kimberly, is an all star. Genuinely so kind, informative, and helpful. She adds so much to the store and I know I'm in good hands when she's helping me pick my flavors. I also love when this ice cream store does collaborations and limited edition flavors, so look out for those, they're very neat! Their last one for Avatar The Last Airbender was wonderful. Would recommend this place if you're stopping by Hollywood Boulevard to check out the stars. The store is clean, has nice indoor places to sit. Love the lights and the black and white theme, plus they have merchandise they sell as well that looks stylish. read more

My grandson loves, just loves, Afters Ice Cream. They have all the odd flavors he loves and a large selection of toppings. It is right down the street from the Pantages Theater so a great place to go before a show or after. It is always clean and the line moves fast. What I love is the service. The server is always so nice, we have met him before. He is kind and patient with my speech delayed grandson. He is just super cool. Parking is a bear, but there is a public lot nearby or you can try to find a place on the street. Personally. they no longer have even one flavor I want. I tried the brownie chocolate and tossed it. Not their fault I just did not like it. I want some of the standards, like chocolate ice cream. Please bring it back. They have some counter seating and the place is always spotless. read more

I don't think Afters is quite what it used to be. Stopped by the other night and ordered a double scoop cup with Madagascar Vanilla and Dark Matter Brownie for $8. They give great portion sizes which is nice, and the ice cream is super creamy and soft. The flavors and mix ins however are where it's lacking. I remember the Dark Matter Brownie being full of brownie batter chunks and having a really strong chocolate flavor. Now? It's just slightly chocolatey and I had maybe two bites of brownie. The vanilla was also very mild. Hardly a "vanilla" flavor let alone Madagascar specific, and it seemed more like a milk flavored ice cream. read more

We stopped by here after visiting Funko, and the wide variety of flavors immediately caught our eye! We tried several, and all of them were delicious. We ultimately went with the mango sorbet, On Cloud, Dark Matter Brownie Batter, and (I think) Cookie Monster. Every flavor was great! I was excited to try the Dubai Chocolate flavor, but unfortunately, it was sold out that day--maybe next time! The mango sorbet, in particular, was incredibly fresh--it tasted just like biting into a real mango! The one downside is that it's a bit on the pricey side, especially if you're going with a larger family, so that's something to keep in mind. Also, there's limited seating inside, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. Overall, though, we enjoyed all the flavors we had and would definitely return! read more

They also offer a variety of drinks, and if you ask, they're happy to provide samples of the soft serve base before you order. Overall, a refreshing treat that I'd happily come back for.

But I wanted to leave a review because the girl (I forgot to ask her name, sadly) who helped me today was really lovely! I bought 30g of their matcha and admittedly thought when they didn't give it to me at the counter that they forgot, but I sat down at a table to eat my ice cream and decided to just ask for it after I finished. Thank goodness I did, because the cashier came up to my table about 10 minutes later and handed me a little bag of fresh-ground matcha. She took a second to explain to me how to store it and keep it fresh, and I just really appreciated the extra bit of customer service, even if it's something they're maybe expected to do. When I have the money, I'll definitely come back and get their 100g pack! Highly recommend this place for any matcha lovers, whether you're looking for a drink, a sweet soft serve treat, or matcha for home use.

Their iced matcha drink is fantastic--it gives you a nice, elevated energy boost that feels totally different from a standard coffee high. The matcha has a very rich, deep umami taste that manages to be both refreshing and creamy at the same time. Beyond the drinks, they also have incredible matcha soft serve and a bunch of other matcha goodies to try. Prices are pretty comparable to Starbucks, but the quality and experience are on a completely different level. There is a great seating area facing the window, making it the perfect spot to sit back, enjoy your drink, and people-watch. It's an absolute must-visit if you're in Little Tokyo!

They have so many locations and only wish they had more. The closest to me is about 20mins away but it's worth the drive every time. I love this location especially. Always such friendly staff and never have to wait in a long line. Basically, if you're a newbie, you go in and ALWAYS as for the "seasonal flavors" for tasting. They give you tasters on silver spoons and you drop it down this hole when you're done. It's literally their culture to give you a taste of everything on their seasonal menu so don't skip out on this experience. It's the best way to try their ice cream. FUN FACT: they also have 1-2 flavors that are considered "last chance" flavors which means they are about to run out so get it before it's gone. Each month I go in to try another tasty flavor and it never disappoints but I am sometimes that girl who tries the new stuff but ends up getting her usual order (chocolate brownie) and am always happy. Just the smell of sugar cone alone when you walk in gets you hooked. The atmosphere is just so welcoming. Don't be intimidated by the many flavors to choose from because there are a lot. I like to get their double scoop in a waffle cone, but they also have awesome split scoop options for those more adventurous and want to try multiple flavors in one scoop. Saves you for when you're keeping your sugar levels down. There are usually always places to sit inside or outside so you can enjoy your goodies right away. They even have cool swag if you become a huge fan like me. If you like a little savory and sweetness in your ice cream this is the place to be.

It's so fun to see what unique flavors/themes they have for every month. I vividly remember their cereal theme, which featured different delicious cereal flavors. They have a kid's scoop, which is a smaller (and cheaper) singular scoop if you're feeling less hungry. Excited to visit again!

This place makes the best Matcha latte! Tried the regular Matcha with almond milk, which was spectacular. The Matcha Einspanner with sweet cream was also phenomenal. The sweet cream has a slight corn flavor to it, which is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend both for all matcha lovers. Depending on how much sweetness you prefer. Also,m for light bites, the pistachio toast was absolutely splendid. Also tried their famous breakfast sliders were just mediocre in my opinion. Personally, I do not like the Hawaiian rolls due to a slight sweetness in their bun which may have been reason for my lower rating when it comes to this order. Overall, a great Matcha house that I'll continue to visit time and time again. Always a line so make sure you give yourself at least 45 minutes

The strawberry matcha duo- impeccable top to bottom. They use a very thick matcha cream on top, the matcha drink is rich and not watery; the almond milk didn't overpower; the strawberry puree was delicious with small chunks & tasted fresh, not artificial. I currently live in Japan- Rok knows how to do this right. (Don't tell anyone I think Roc does them better) Will absolutely come back many times.

Ordering the pancakes are a no brainer - they are light, fluffy, and jiggly in all the right ways. I've tried the Matcha, Fruit, and Mango pancakes and they are all amazing.

The bacon was sliced in fatty little chunks and complemented the mushrooms and noodles. I highly recommend this dish. Parking here is all street parking and can be difficult especially on the weekends. Also be aware that they recently blew up on viral social media videos and it has caused their waits to be extra long and unpredictable.

I've only ordered to-go through someone, so I can't speak for ambiance but it's an extremely busy lot, so if you live near & want to enjoy in the comfort of your own home, it may be best to plan ahead, bring ice box, take multiple ppl so one can order/pick up & other can stay in the car if there's no parking. We've tried the mango stinky rice sundae (must order), Thai tea lemonade- basically cha manaow (can skip), mango sticky rice drink (pretty good if you're looking for drink version of the sundae but can be off putting texture to some), Thai tea shaved ice (melted so fast so wasn't very enjoyable), pandan toast (a lil dry but good w gelato), & gelatos: mango (good staple), coconut milk butterfly pea (yummy/creamy perfect w mango sorbet), jasmine matcha (good choice), pandan milk (strong flavor creamy yummy), earl grey Thai tea (top 3), hojicha crunch (#1), & Thai tea coffee (eh ok just coffee). All the gelatos were shining stars it just depends on preference; very thick, flavorful, & creamy. I've tried 3x in the past 2 months but will be back for more~
