Easy eats ice cream with a bunch of Filipino flavors…read more Went after dinner for a bit of dessert. Parking was a bit confusing - there's a lot of electric vehicle parking (which should have but did not think to use), but found regular parking further out. The ice cream spot is in the food court area near the restrooms. Menu consists of many different Filipino and some regular flavors. Ended up getting a split scoop of ube and macapono. Was well made - def more natural tasting than others I had. Would def come back!

Visited when they were at their first location a couple years ago and the owner is great!…read more Because the service was so great in the past, we wanted to come visit their new location (the person who helped us was not the owner) and when we got there, there were no customers ahead of us but once we ordered another group lined up behind us and ordered after us. We were waiting for our ice cream and noticed that the party behind us got theirs first. We wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt but once the party after us got theirs, we noticed that the cashier came back to the register ready to take another order so I went up and told her that we were still waiting on ours scoops and she said "oh i forgot " Not sure how she could forget when we were first to order with no one ahead of us... Seems like this staff needs more customer service and ice cream training.

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Redondo Beach…read more Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this place, it's one of my favorites. I especially love the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream, which is always delicious. One of the reasons I prefer this Redondo Beach location is their generous portions. They also allow you to choose two different flavors on a sugar cone, which some other locations (like Glendale) do not allow, they require the same flavor. That flexibility definitely makes a difference. Parking is plentiful, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is nice since you're enjoying your ice cream outdoors. Overall, it's a great spot, and I highly recommend it if you're in the area.

I had a very disappointing experience at Hansel's Ice Cream Redondo Beach Location…read more I came in to order for my two young children and was simply asking questions about portion sizes since they don't offer kids servings. The employee refused to accommodate a simple request, then accused me of having an attitude and closed the service window in my face. When I asked for a manager, another employee came out and said they supported the coworker and also refused to serve me. I was eventually served only after being told to "not have an attitude." I only completed the purchase because I had promised my kids ice cream, but the overall experience was disrespectful, unprofessional, and felt discriminatory. I would not recommend this place, especially for families.

Apparently the theme of the evening was snacking while waiting for dinner. While killing time…read morebefore our table at Momo Paradise, we wandered into this charming little shop devoted almost entirely to chestnuts. One thing was immediately clear: everyone was ordering the snowstorm. Most people seemed to go with either the matcha or the original, though they also had other flavors like sesame. Naturally we followed the crowd and ordered the matcha. It's matcha soft serve topped with chestnuts, and it turned out to be a great little pre-dinner snack -- creamy, earthy, and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was that they carry different types of chestnuts. I preferred the smaller ones, which were softer, more moist, and sweeter. The larger ones were firmer, but you can buy them already peeled, which honestly feels like a luxury if you've ever battled chestnut shells before. It's a quirky specialty shop, but a fun one to browse. And judging by the number of snowstorms coming out of the kitchen, that's clearly the move here.

I've been wanting to check this place out for some time now…read more I always see it passing down the street and finally got the chance last weekend. Hisaya Kyoto specializes in all things chestnuts, including soft serve chestnuts, and chestnut baked goodies. I came on a hot day and got their vanilla and chestnut soft serve on a cone. I also got one of their chestnut cakes. The ice cream was very creamy and definitely a good treat after my lunch. The small cake was not too sweet and light. It had some sweetened chestnuts inside which was really nice. It came out hot and went well with the ice cream. They also have cookies, donuts, and a variety of ice creams as well. They also have drinks like their chestnut milk too. For soft serve they have their fuji soft serves which comes with toppings. I want to come back to try their other items. The people behind the counter wasn't the friendliest and out items took awhile. The inside is small and casual and not really anywhere to sit. But they do have seating outside. There is plenty of parking since it is on a strip mall.

I scream, you scream, we all...well you know. My son offered to pick up Bruster's on his way back…read morefrom cat sitting so I was all in. There was a new flavor called pineapple upside down cake that had caught my eye so I handed him my credit card and told him to hook up the household. It's nice that you get credit toward future purchase discounts which are appreciated. I ordered a large that comes with 4 scoops. Besides the new item, I added cherry vanilla, rocky road, and butter pecan. Guess I was feeling a bit nutty. The pineapple was a little too cakey for me but I'm glad I tried it. Variety is the spice of life right? Hadn't had butter pecan in ages so that was a walk down memory lane. A Bruster's day is always a good day. Love my ice cream.

We've been passing this location for years now and decided finally to pop by. It was rainy, so I…read morewasn't expecting a crowd. I was right, but that still may be a bit unusual in SoCal, where we all scream for ice cream all year 'round. Large parking lot was mostly empty when we arrived and only filled in slightly for other businesses by the time we left, around 3:15pm. It took a minute for us to get noticed by the one person working, who we called out to a few times. She took our orders and got to work filling them. While we waited, I did a bit of inter webs research on why Bruster's resembled the same set up as Handel's. Turned out Bruce (the man behind Bruster's) worked for Handel's and had some of his own ideas about changes to the Handel's way of operating that, let's just say, Handel's wasn't open to trying. So Bruce went his own way, building on the same concept of ice cream made fresh daily in-house, unique flavors and a walk-up window. Interesting. Also interesting was the small portion in my waffle bowl. It was meant to be Medium, 2 flavors, but it looked more like a small, 2 flavors. In addition, the 2 scoops were offset with one flavor hanging over the edge, rather than in the bowl. Wonky. Lots of room in the bowl, why was it hard to aim the scoops into it? No one was being rushed, no line forming. This is a treat. Something special. Take a beat for the presentation. Especially if you're not giving full scoops. Make that bowl look like you filled it as best you can with the small amount you're dishing out. I haven't had this experience at other Brewster's, so maybe it's just how this location is run, or maybe just the person on this day. Don't think I'll return to find out. Cheers! "CC"

They did it again! Decided to come to this location on their anniversary and wow were we blown away…read morewith their may flavors. I tried the cashew turtle and I think I found my new favorite flavor of ice cream. Truly if it had marshmallows I would have been in heaven. But it didn't need it to be so good. It's the perfect balance of chocolate caramel and a hint of vanilla. The walnuts aren't for everyone but I love nut inclusions. My only regret is getting only one scoop. My parter not the birthday bash. He was hesitant since it had blueberry but boy was he blown away too. You don't taste the blueberry. If anything. It adds such a beautiful essence from it that it tones down the birthday cake flavor to such a tasty experience. The service was great. They let us try all our favorite flavors and the best part was that for the anniversary they had a spinning wheel. Made the place feel so fun! Today you got to spin with any purchase and we landed on the free pint chip! Can't wait to come back and use it! They even tried to improve the ambiance by cleaning the outside and boy did it make a difference! Thank you for always making the best ice cream in Long Beach!

After a decade since my last review, Kansha Creamery is still one of my favorite ice cream shops in…read moreSouthern California. Here are few key points: * Each year, the shop closes for the entire month of January for its annual winter break and the shop also occasionally closes on random dates, so check their Instagram page to make sure the shop is open on the day of your visit. * No samples! * $0.75 of every ice cream sold is donated to Community Loving (mutual aid organization that serves unhoused & low-income families & youth in the South Bay with the essential resources they need & deserve). * Each year, Kansha Creamery hosts a kids' flavor contest and turns those flavors into reality & ultimately features on Kansha's menu. * Their ice cream is made with Straus Family Creamery products. * Their pints are made without the use of gums or preservatives which causes them to freeze harder than store-bought ice cream, so place those pints in the fridge for 10-30 minutes before indulging. * Some flavors like black sesame are seasonal, but popular flavors like Mr. Universal and Matcha (both excellent) are available year-round. Two big thumbs up for their ice cream.

Every visit in the past 30 years feels the same in the best way: the familiar line out front, the old-school charm, and everyone happily waiting their turn and juggling their cash and coins like it's a local tradition. My go-to has always been the vanilla dipped soft serve, it's just as good as it was 30 years ago. I love that this place hasn't tried to become something it's not. In a sea of new-age and trendy ice cream places that have come and gone, this place has stayed true to its roots. Places like this are rare now. Not just somewhere to grab dessert, but a spot that feels tied to the community itself.
