I was in the mood for an ice cream late Monday afternoon and always wanted to try this little shop in my area as it's loved by all the locals in Covina. It's a quick service window ordering type of place with a table outside. Plenty of parking. I ordered a strawberry sundae, the strawberries were a little old looking and old tasting so I didn't eat too many of them. The vanilla ice cream itself though was top tier, very creamy and delicious. There is a bit of a language barrier so their preference is to order by number and it shows what is aligned with the number on the menu. Overall I would come back but maybe order something different. read more

Wow! This business was closed for several months. When I drove by and saw it open, I was super excited because in the past their ice cream and food was delicious. Now, not so much. The lady that was taking the orders was hard to understand. She handed me a disheveled piece of paper and I pointed out an ice cream cone swirl with chocolate and vanilla, it was three dollars. I ask about chocolate dip she said yes six dollars. That seemed like quite a jump, but we want, what we want. I paid and ordered. What a mess! The cone did not come dipped. It looked like she scooped chocolate sauce on top and it ran down the cone everywhere. Also, because the chocolate was hot. The ice cream also was melting all the way down the cone. She quickly wrapped two napkins around it and handed it to me. I am telling you, it was a disaster. I asked for more napkins and she handed me one more. It was leaking so bad, that made it almost inedible. I did my best to eat around and control the mess. The chocolate was horrible tasting and clumped everywhere. I got up and threw it in the trash. Went back to the window, but she was nowhere to be found. After I got into my car to pull away, I noticed she was in a little side room sitting at a table. This really is unfortunate. My kids and I used to love coming to this place. Hopefully, this review will help them improve. read more

Covina Tasty - Milkshakes - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Covina, California

Today is December 16th 2025 and there is a grand reopening sign on the front windows. The inside looks like it's been repainted and cleaned up, but the old owner I do not see. The gentleman of the counter has limited English, and seems to speak only Chinese. The biggest downfall is the dipped cones no longer exist. Me and my son were excited to see that they were open, but were a little disappointed by the quality of the ice cream overall. read more

This was a complete waste of time and money. I ordered a strawberry sundae for myself and a dipped cone for my daughter. The soft serve had no flavor it was too thick not creamy . My sundae had no strawberry syrup just had a few sliced sad strawberries looked old . My daughter's dipped cone was a dripping mess. Neither of us finished our treats . We threw them away. I don't know how this business is going to survive with this lack of quality. I should've know when we drove up it looked desolate. The owners need to step it up . The sundaes at McDonald's and Costco are less expensive and taste way better. read more

Nothing is ever as good as we remember it. Nostalgia is that way. Having said that, Covina Tasty is open again. The gentleman who made my chocolate cone was quick & friendly. I enjoyed it on a hot day. It hit the spot. Let's agree that's it's good to see a local business make a 2nd effort. Give the guy a break & go try him again. It won't be as good as you remember but it is here and now. We don't need more 7-Eleven's. read more

Not sure if this spot offers food, there was allot of traffic for the deserts from what I could see. The building looks pretty run down but as long as the deserts were tasty I didn't mind how the establishment looked on the outside. Bought 2 singles cones it was about $5.00 not bad cause nowadays it's almost $5 for just one! There was only 1 worker did what needed to be done and we were on our to enjoying our treat! read more

I grew up in Covina going to this restaurant for an ice cream has always been a family tradition. I hate to write a bad review but I gotta be honest the last four times my family and I have gone down to get ice cream. They don't have any toppings My Wife always wants a strawberry sundae sorry no strawberries. My Son wants a chocolate dipped cone. The guy says sorry they don't have any chocolate When I said to the young kid how do you run a business like this? You don't have anything that your customers are asking for he says and I quote " Sorry not my problem . Are you gonna buy something" . What happened to the down home Greatfood and Customer Service I grew up with. So sad. read more

Love that I found this spot so randomly! I only frequent covina to visit family & I love hunting for vegan friendly food & stumbled upon this gem ! I call them the fosters freeze for vegans . They have burgers , ice creams , shakes , fries, egg rolls that most you'll find to be fully vegan! I was so impressed ! It's honestly hard to find vegan spots as such . Got a custom shake with strawberries & chocolate yum ! Loved their burgers ! They are literally like a fosters freeze where you order at the window & up to you if you want to dine in ther outside dining area , I usually dine in my car in situations like this ! They were also very nice at the window especially my first time when I was just gawking at everything on their menu . Seems like their a known establishment to the community but as a vegan food hunter I was really impressed ! read more

So I came with my family and asked for a mixed cone and said we have no chocolate only vanilla and two minutes later another family asked for the mix and gave them a mix ice cream. Like what the HELL !!! read more

They have a updated the menu style but the ice cream is as good as always. I got the onion rings which were sweet and salty crispy, the strawberry malt which was so good and creamy, the sundae with butterfinger was perfect!!!! The chocolate banana was a little old so wasn't my favorite so I think I'll stick to the ice cream! read more

Was looking for a vanilla chocolate dipped cone. Drove about 20 minutes from my hotel in West Covina and show up to a closed business! Completely dark. Not sure if this location has since shut down but this was unexpected. And disappointing. No sign on the window. Nothing. A few other people also drove up, looked around. And left! read more

A couple months ago my bf went to Covina Tasty around 7:30, and they were closed. Today, Friday, we decided to check the hours of operation before going, and it says they close at 10. We show up at 8, and again, all the lights were off, and it was closed. What's going on, y'all? If you close earlier, please update the time! If you're on break, please leave a note! If you're closed, please update the listing. This was one of our favorite places, and now we're never going to try going back again. Scoops down the street has vegan ice cream, fyi. Just go there. read more

Covina Tasty - Sign - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Covina, California

The chili dog was inedible. I returned it for a prompt refund. The interior of the restaurant kitchen appeared to be in abject chaos. I reported it to the health department. Pending as of 6/1/23. Too bad - it's a great location. It's also a vegan menu which is hard to find and it's also a Googie architecture which is classic! So I suggest the present owner wise up or that someone with an understanding of retail food service buy it renovate it, and make $1 million. read more

Covina Tasty - I tasted and returned the chili dog - the chili is patently hideous. I was promptly given a refund of $6.16. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Covina, California

A real staple in the community. Great soft serve ice cream for a great price. They've updated their menu a bit. Outside seating and plenty of parking. I love getting a cone and just sitting down and watching traffic while I enjoy it. Be careful in the summer months though because the mosquitoes are very active that you may not want to be there too long. Always worth the drive for bomb soft serve to pick you up when you've had a bad day. read more

Need to update your hours online! Drove for ice cream for it to state it was closed. I checked online and it says 12-10pm! So clearly that's a lie! The past times I have been there the staff has been super rude too! So maybe management needs to train their employees better and update hours of operation! read more

This location has been in existence since 1960. However that does not mean it is the SAME business. The new ownership tries to elude to this concept with a sign that says "Since 1960" and another sign in another window that says "since 1984" This place closed down for sometime and then has since reopened. That being said the menu has changed significantly and is largely written in Chinese and half drawn English along with poorly executed numbers for pricing- written in pen. It's gotten much smaller and they've taken away some of the things that made me want to come back again and again. They've removed the malts. That was one of their strongest sellers. you can still get the dipped cones but good luck communicating with the staff. They cannot understand a word. It took us about 15 minutes to order 3 cones dipped. It should've been 4 cones. But that was the best outcome I'd hoped for since they did not understand a word I said. The customers that ordered after us also had considerable difficulty placing orders. For what I've seen this place become, I will not return. The things I used to come here for are gone. It is a shell of what it used to be ran by people that just stepped off a boat. read more

Don't even bother. It's never open. They honestly need to sell or close this place. Saturday 4/19 at 4:00 in the afternoon not open.

Rating 0. The guy that helped us was rude. He gave the people behind us there ice cream first which I thought was petty on his end. Coming here for the first time I thought I'd have a better experience but I won't be coming back here again because of the experience I had. read more

I'm vegetarian and I was still disappointed. I read the reviews and supposedly the chili cheese hot dog and chicken sandwich were the it things to order. Chili cheese dog is hard to eat. They load the hotdog with what they called chili. It was more like a mound of beans. Also the bottom layer is soggy, so good luck trying to pick it up to eat. The chicken sandwich is so sad a pathetic looking, it looked like grade school cafeteria burger. The "chicken" is breaded, but not fried. So it's mushy. It's like a chicken patty warmed in microwave, then added to this sandwich. They also put mustard into the sandwich as a standard. Never even mentioned it. I hate mustard. Especially the cheap fast food yellow kind. I'm reluctant to give them lower than 3 stars. Their fries are tasty. They open late. It doesn't feel unsafe. It just felt like they were barely trying to pass this as food. So very low quality. read more

Covina Tasty is located next door to a 711 store with their own parking lot. I have tried Covina Tasty before at a previous Yelp event and thought there were okay but my husband was in the mood for some ice cream, so we decided to check them out since they have dog friendly seating (so we brought our little girl with us). There is some seating inside too in case you don't wish to dine al fresco. We ended up ordering: Thai Almond Milk Tea, $3.39 prior to tax- This is a Thai Ice Tea drink made with almond milk. I requested for this drink to be made with less ice and less sugar. I wasn't a fan of this drink because of the almond milk after taste. Perhaps I should have ordered the regular Thai milk tea drink (same price). Medium Vanilla Cone, $1.99 prior to tax- Very cheap and a great size for my husband and our little girl dog to share. --------------------- (Total= $6.15 after tax) After my husband ordered, his ice cream was ready. I didn't wait too long for my drink to be ready. I think as long as you get ice cream, it should be fine. But things beyond that may not taste as good as you are expecting (just as it was here with my Thai tea and the food I had tried at a previous Yelp event). read more
