    Protein Gelato
    Jamie C.

    Love this place. Service is so friendly and warm, and there are always a plethora of delicious gelato flavors (including vegan and no sugar added varieties!) Tonight we got some "protein gelato" to enjoy later (i.e., another day), but we ended up eating the whole jar after we already had a double scoop! Super rich and super yummy!!

    This place by Manhattan Beach has pretty solid gelato. I've only had gelato a few times, and my group and I really enjoyed what we got here. The worker was really nice and patient with us. I really enjoyed the funfetti bubble waffle gelato! It was delicious and I loved the fruity pebbles on it and the waffle nice and crispy! The actual gelatos though were rich and creamy!

    Delightful little gelato shop with a great selection and HIGE portions! I ordered the kids scoop and I still got two large scoops. The Limoncello was delicious and I highly recommend. Just a short walk from the pier in Manhattan Beach.

    Henry's Take, Takes L.A.! Part 1 Pretty catchy slogan, don't you think? We haven't launched a new series in a while and we are indebted to @1ehernandez for his creative suggestion for this series (and also for branding it). So where does one begin in the "City of Angels?" While there are countless starting points available, we chose "Gelato and Angels." It just makes sense, right? Our Review Team brought with us the individual tastes of 8 varying palettes and yet no concerns were expressed about finding something to sample. In keeping with the L.A. theme I went with the "La Brea Tarpits" flavor and I never found myself hopelessly "stuck" in a cavity of flavorlessness. In addition to the other impressive selection of flavors I was surprised by their offering of no less than a dozen Vegan flavors. Although I didn't try these items, my imagination was captured by their "Donut Gelato Sandwich" and their "Spaghetti Sundae." Not brave enough to try them mind you, but intrigued nonetheless. And that's...Henry's Take. #lagelato

    Great small gelato hole in the wall serving authentic Italian gelato. This place has lots of flavors to choose from. I tasted the guava and blood orange vegan style but went with my go to chocolate flavors. I ordered the chocolate mousse pie and toasted almonds. Nice and light, not too sweet and chocolaty. Service was awesome. We went on a lazy overcast Saturday and the place was not busy that day. Servers were polite and attentive. We would go here again when in the area to try the other flavors.

    Great gelato place for a quick trip for dessert! They have vegan and Keto friendly options! I specifically enjoyed the fresh mango, strawberry, and watermelon gelato! Yum! So refreshing! I also wanted something rich and creamy and got the La brea tar pits gelato!

    Lavender and honey

    Based solely on the lavender and honey gelato I ordered. It was wonderfully relaxing flavor of a dessert. You could taste the natural aroma of lavender in every bite without being overwhelming. It paired perfectly with a nice crispy cone. Note there are no tastings due to COVID-19. The employee was really kind to answer any questions about the flavors. Would def come back.

    I love this gelato spot in Manhattan beach! They offer lots of different flavors and also have vegan options. They let you try samples and every time I'm here, there's never a long line so it's not stressful deciding on a flavor. My favorite to get here is the Stracciatella on a waffle cone. It's so good! Parking can be kinda difficult because it's mainly street parking.

    Can any flavor be turned in to spaghetti form?

    No. Only smooth flavors. If there are any chunks, even small (such as sprinkles, or crushed peanuts), that flavor can't be used.

You can see the actual bird of strawberries in the ice cream scoop. And their scoops aren't tiny -- they are the full, overflowing scoop of ice cream. The staff is helpful and friendly.

While I've been here a few times this is my first formal review. I came with my family one Sunday evening on a hot July day, bypassing several chains on the way, including the new(er) Salt and Straw across the street. The inside is packed to the brim with sweets, small toys, and people, much like a candy shop of old. After reaching the front of the winding line our family shared a Banana Split ($13) - three scoops of ice cream, a split banana, hot fudge, a single dry topping (we chose coconut), whipped cream, and a trio of cherries - about as classic as it comes. The ice cream was good but not exceptional. The chocolate and strawberry were fairly generic, but I liked the third scoop of banana foster ice cream which had a nice banana kick. I doubt this ice cream is home made. The complements and construction to the sundae were great, however, and the flavors came together well. As I would hope for a location like this, the staff are local youths who served with patience and passion. In cases throughout the store are several of their other specialties - ice cream cookie sandwiches, dipped frozen bananas, and more - inviting repeat visits. Prices are elevated but not crazy for such a trendy area, although I would say with the middling quality of the ice cream a couple dollars less would be fine. Overall, Manhattan Beach Creamery is a local landmark worth at least a single visit for anyone in the area. If you can get past the generic, if a little boring, ice cream flavor and rampant commodification of the interior, you'll find a classic ice cream parlor with great service and history. Is it worth a repeat visit? I leave that to you. Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 4/5

If you like blueberry donuts, get this one. Butter & Salt is the perfect sweet+salty donut with a brown butter glaze. Maple Bacon is one of the few raised yeast donuts and the sweet+savory combo is the best! The Apple Fritter is really good, but only available on Fridays. I highly recommend trying at least one of their seasonal donuts too. They are very unique and delicious. What I recently discovered is that their coffee is quite good and reasonably priced for the Manhattan Beach area. If you still can't decide what to purchase, the staff is always very nice and helpful. They always seem to be in a really good mood. The donuts are presented in nice, branded boxes if you purchase 3 or more. The store is located in the Manhattan Village, right near the entrance, so there is plenty of parking. Definitely check it out!

The flavors are great and really unique which i like. They have a seasonal weekly flavor and the service is always nice. It has plenty of parking and there's seating on the inside. I also really like how there are samples if you go in the morning which has persuaded me to try some new flavors I wouldn't have gotten. Yes its a bit pricey, but definitely worth it as the taste is amazing. My only feedback is on Too Good to Go orders. PLEASE allow there to be a separate non-meat/vegetarian option. Since if you order through the app, sometimes they may have a maple bacon donut which I don't eat meat so anything that donut is touching I also throw out which is a waste.

All the servers were warm and beyond the usual helpfulness. My friend saw an empty table they needed to be wiped so she asked a server for a towel to wipe it. He immediately said, "No, I'll do it." And he grabbed a towel and wiped in extra well with a smile. Two of us ordered the Buddha vegan bowl (9/10; quinoa was fluffy, tofu was tasty but a little firm for me, everything else about it was fresh and well-done. The mushroom serving was my favorite part.) My friend ordered the Beef Macro bowl (9/10: beef was the best part and everything else was good. The wild rice was tender; but it tastes "healthy"). My last friend ordered the salmon bowl (9/10: all of us raved about the salmon. Had the same wild rice. I liked it but my friend said it was too soft for her. The rest of the items that came with it were similar and tasty). Before I left, Molly helped me order a mushroom reishi hot chocolate drink. Molly was so sweet and helpful. She recommended the homemade almond milk. (8/10). The ambiance was warm and cozy. I loved the multi-level structure. Therefore, the name, "The Hive". Cute design and a good place to bring a computer and have a quiet spot to chill.
