The ice cream was solid, but everything else was meh . Customer service was lacking, and the shop itself looked messy and unkempt. Prices are steep too, hovering around $9 for a kid's size, $13 for a regular, and $14+ if you want one of their specialty creations. With great alternatives nearby (Honeymee, SomiSomi, Bumsan) neither the price nor the service gives me much reason to return. read more

It is yummy! Can't go wrong with ice cream and it's certainly fun to eat it in rolls. I do appreciate how the ingredients are organic. I really liked the banana Nutella flavor. And it's cute how the come with so many toppings for no extra cost (pocky stick, marshmallow, whipped cream) read more

Sometimes I just want some ice cream before heading home on a Saturday night and a few weeks ago, that lead me to stopping at Holy Roly Ice Cream in Koreatown. With a super small parking lot, we ended up having to park down the street which wasn't bad till the downpour started on the way back (clearly not this places fault). The place itself is pretty darn small only having a few small tables and enough space for a line, which doesn't really matter since it's an ice cream joint, but figured I would bring it up just in case. In typical me fashion, I knew what I wanted the second I glance at the menu and that is the Vanilla Oreo! This cup was rolled vanilla ice cream, oreo cookies, a little chocolate fudge, and what I think was some cookie chunks on top, but I'm stupid so who really knows. The ice cream itself was really good and the ingredients on top all tasted delicious as well. Overall, this place definitely did it for me. It's been ages since I've had rolled ice cream and this place's quick service and delicious ice cream definitely won me over and will keep me coming back in the future. Want some ice cream in Koreatown? They got you. read more

I wanted some ice cream after a dinner with my boyfriend recently and the experience was such a fun treat! Service was super friendly--everyone behind the counter was so patient and kind, i didn't feel rushed at all while picking my flavor (I'm so indecisive). The inside is pretty simple, not much seats so it's meant to be a grab and go thing, I went at night so the front was lit up and had a really nice post worthy feel which made it perfect if you wanted to just talk with friends while you wait. It's definitely a spot that makes you feel good and happy as soon as you walk in. As for the ice cream itself, I got the salted caramel which was super good yet super sweet but nonetheless still delicious! All toppings come with the flavor you choose already and they complement it so well. Definitely would come back here after dinner if you're craving dessert or a sweet treat! read more

Sweet treat craving satisfied! Came here on a Tuesday around 8:30 pm. The store itself only has a couple of tables for indoor seating but luckily we were able to snatch the last table. As with most of Koreatown, there is limited parking here. We ordered early grey and matcha rolled ice creams. Despite ordering the kids size, these cups were actually relatively big for a kids size in my opinion - was definitely feeling quite full afterward!! The earl grey and matcha flavors were prominent in both ice creams, and the toasted marshmallow and pocky were a cute touch. Would visit again! read more

It was my first time trying rolled ice cream. Although ice cream is everything to me, I didn't anticipate it to be so normal. I think if my kids were little and I wanted to bring them somewhere for a little treat and a show then this would be it, but my kids are now in their twenties so all they care about is flavor. I think this is a fantastic place to bring the little ones, but the ice cream in itself tastes a little cheap. It's very thin and you can tell there's not a lot of fat content in the ice cream. I absolutely believe it's a great idea for the kids, but if you're not there for the show, this might not be for you. Staff was just okay, they are not interactive. The place is clean and it's super cute inside. On the plus side of things it's nice that we can see them working their magic. The staff worked pretty quickly and they look like they all work together, but I think the whole thing w the rolled ice cream is to be a bit interactive. Anyway, if you haven't tried rolled ice cream then you should check it out for yourself, you never know... you might love it! P.S. parking is a hot mess! Make sure to bring cash to pay the valet $5 because they don't take card and there's literally no where to park, unless the locals are hiding something from us out of towners. read more

Wanting to treat ourselves to some gourmet ice cream after some long walking, my wife and I stopped into K-town's instance of the two store chain Holy Roly Ice Cream shop. We hadn't been here for a while, but found it the same as before. It wasn't too busy, so the hand rolled ice cream cup (which takes a bit of time to make) was ready relatively quickly. The soft ice cream is thinly spackled on a very cold stone, and then quickly scraped in one motion, creating rolls. These five rolls are then deposited vertically in a cup, and topped with toppings. We got the standard size of the coffee oreo, with a coffee base ice cream ($12) and crushed oreo topping. We shared at one of the few tables inside, just enough to finish before resuming our walk. read more

Most rolled ice cream places I've been to be before seemed to be a little too slow when they got busy, but Holy Roly has three (!) ice cream rolling tables so they're able to keep up. Rolled ice cream itself is a fun concept, the menu here is reasonably varied, and there's just enough seating. Minus half a star because the ambiance inside is just a bit too plain, and could use just a tad bit more decoration - the front area is nice as is the pseudo-patio, but the rear 80% seems badly in need of something. read more

I was skeptical about how the consistency would have felt but it was soooo smooth!!! I was shocked and pleasantly surprised. The flavor of the tiramisu was perfect- not too sweet and had a yummy coffee flavor. They topped it off with chocolate covered coffee beans and those were good but not my favorite (I've had better). The marshmallow was a bit stale too. My favorite part was the ice cream!!! The price is steep but I think that if the toppings are more solid tasting, people will think all of it is worth it!

Ice cream was fine, but when you order an Affogato, it should come with a shot of espresso, not watered down coffee that looks like it's hot water poured over a half teaspoon of instant coffee. My friend made the mistake of pouring the entire cup onto his ice cream. Needless to say, it diluted the sweetness and flavor of his ice cream. read more

Came in looking for coffee. Their system was down. Initially I thought that it was a coffee shop. No it's an ice cream/ coffee shop and it's confusing until they tell you where to order coffee and where to order ice cream. The ice cream was good. Customer service could be a lot better. The bathroom needs a little TLC and so do the clouds in the lobby. No one wants to breathe dust or for it to possibly fall on their food. Overall the ice cream pulls its weight.

Then I got attitude for placing an order and asking a question on why the regular size is $12 and why the iPad says it's $13. She gave me an empty answer but whatever. Then the workers just stared at me in silence while I was waiting to pay, without saying a word or letting me know what to do.

Great variety of ice cream flavors from French toast to coffee cookies and cream. I got the matcha flavor with mini mochi and condensed milk, very creamy. The kid size was perfect. Some flavors are only in regular size. More on the expensive side for ice cream but you pay for the experience. They roll your ice cream right in front of you. Ambiance is chill.

Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

Lots of art on their windows and they usually have a collab drink or something. Just know that depending on how popular the collab is, and even if it isn't, this place has lines out the door and is quite fisted. Tables in front are always full of people. Drinks are hit and miss. Every latte I've gotten, even with mixing is grainy sweet coffee slop and the matcha isn't too great either (way better options in the area), but if you have a sweet tooth for pastries it's not too bad. Decadent cream donuts, mochi donuts, savory sausage donuts, and creme brulee ones too. Shareable, but something I'd need to down with milk or some water.

After having a family dinner at Gabin Korean BBQ in this shopping center, we decided to stop by Anko for dessert. The owner recognized us right away and warmly greeted My Mom, saying how nice it was to see us again after such a long time. We used to be regulars here, so it was really nice to see her again. I think their taiyaki is the best in LA! They sell them in sets of 4 for $12. My Mom and my 2 brothers got the red bean-filled taiyaki and I got the Nutella and banana one, and it was absolutely delicious. The freshly baked taiyaki was so warm, and the melted chocolate Nutella inside was incredibly sweet and delicious. It was seriously so good! Every time I come here, the staff is always so friendly, and the taiyaki is always amazing. It's definitely one of my favorite dessert spots. This place used to be so popular that there would be a long line just to get taiyaki and bingsoo. There were still quite a lot of people here today, but we were able to order pretty quickly, and our taiyaki came out really fast too, which made me very happy.

We got 3 flavors: strawberry mascarpone, mango & hojicha. I usually love anything mango flavored but surprisingly I enjoyed the strawberry one the most! - it tasted very natural/not artificial. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. I still enjoyed the mango as well but this one actually tasted a big more artificial, but the fresh mango was perfectly ripe & added a good amount of sweetness. Hojicha was good too but definitely more "nutty" - still great if you don't want anything fruity! Staff were nice and even tho there was a bit of a wait for the desserts, it didn't take too long for them to come out. We surprisingly got lucky with street parking but they also have valet parking available. Will 100% be back and trying the taiyaki next time!

Maybe we have an advantage, having lived a few blocks away. We knew where to park and when to go. As a result, we didn't spend thirty minutes parking and wait in any line here, so we weren't in a bad mood before we started eating. We found out about this spot from Maneet Chauhan since it didn't actually exist yet when we lived here. We discovered our love for rolled ice cream, of all places, at a Thai-owned and operated location in Montgomery, Alabama. Honestly, this wasn't nearly as good, but it was still really enjoyable and by LA standards, definitely worth the price. The eatery is clean and minimalistic with some seating, but most importantly, the ability to view the staff work their magic. The staff was really nice and patient with us, as we debated all of the delicious options. They have three signature touches on every single option: a Pocky stick, a well-done toasted marshmallow and whipped cream. Those come whole, which provide a textural contrast to every dish. I ordered the Banana Nutella, which was sweet in a few ways, through the banana itself, Nutella and obviously the ice cream base, which definitely has plenty of sugar. The ice cream was light and creamy, but the best part was getting a bite of fruity pebbles, aka a party in your mouth. I could've used a little bit more of some salty nuttiness to create a complete flavor profile, but it was definitely enjoyable. Everyone else devoured theirs and everyone agreed that this little detour to K-town was well worth it! Especially, since the other three in our group had never experienced rolled ice cream. Would definitely return, but secretly hoping they get to that Thai place's level, shh. read more

Holy Roly this place is goooood! Let's start with the design... it's a modern museum that is also an ice cream shop. The typography of their signs are phenomenal. The spacing of the characters between each letter makes me ooze with the utmost happiness when I walk into the store on a cold winter night. The rose gold accents inside the store give me life knowing how awesome it is to have an ice cream store with the same aesthetic as Barney's on Fifth Ave in New York City. The first take I loved it. I bite into my first ice cream roll and it gave me instant goosebumps. I almost started chocking and needed the Heimlich, then threw my spoon to the side yeah. After the first bite of the ice cream roll I felt like I was reborn into a new universe when I took that plunge into Holy Roly. Ice Cream used to be made on cold stones and served in paper cups that felt tacky.

$8 for a cup of rolled ice cream when the standard base price for MAJORITY of rolled ice cream places is $6? I should've taken that as a sign but I was really hoping it would be worth it and decided to buy one anyways. I understand these types of rolled ice cream businesses so i dont mind a little bit of wait, that part was acceptable. For all the people whining about how long it takes to get your order, step in there shoes and roll ice cream all day. Time isnt a factor they can change very much, boards can only freeze the ice cream so fast so sit your butts down; you paid for handmade ice cream... it would make sense to wait for it to be HAND MADE then. Service was decent but the ice cream itself was just ok. For $8 with no waffles included with that price like other places and just average flavor, its not a place that i'd be willing to return to. Theres many other options that stick to reasonable prices and have amazing ice cream. On a side note, I hope the rollers keep up the good work~ they are awesome :) read more

I first came here during their second week of their soft opening and I haven't been back since. However I visited once again today and since it is before sunset, we were the only customers. The wait time was only between 5~10 minutes! My rolls came out looking perfect!! I got the Vanilla Oreo and it was very tasty. However I recommend that you eat it with chopsticks. The ice cream is easier to pick up! Unlike ice cream sold at markets, this ice cream tastes very light and refreshing. The oreo is not overwhelming so there is a balance between the oreo and the vanilla. While I was ordering, the workers were very helpful at helping me pick an ice cream flavor. Not only that, but I was able to sample some of the scooped ice cream. My favorite has to be the Choco Pie. I will definitely come back next time!! read more

Fun rolled ice cream spot with cute presentation Had ice cream at Holy Roly Ice Cream in Koreatown and it was such a fun dessert stop. The rolled ice cream was creamy, fresh, and nicely made to order right in front of us. I liked watching the whole process :) it made the experience feel more interactive compared to regular ice cream shops. The texture was smooth and rich, and the toppings added a nice crunch and sweetness. Service was friendly and quick, and the staff were patient even with people taking photos and deciding on flavors. The vibe is trendy and playful, especially in K-town where there's always a lively atmosphere around dessert spots late at night. It's definitely a cute place to stop by with friends for a sweet treat. Would come back again to try different flavor combinations next time. read more

I had high hopes for this place, but it was a huge letdown. The ice cream tasted artificial and overly sweet, like it was made with cheap ingredients. On top of that, the presentation was disappointing--nothing like the appetizing photos online. It looked sloppy and unappetizing, as if no effort was put into making it visually appealing. What really sealed the deal for me was their policy on toppings. If you want to switch out or remove any toppings, you get hit with an extra charge! It's ridiculous, especially considering how overpriced the whole thing already is. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place--poor taste, poor aesthetic, and terrible customer-friendly options. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

A reserved 4-stars for this place. The flavor and the toppings are great don't get me wrong. Service is friendly and would assist you with choosing a flavor. Place looks nice and clean, and is Instagram worthy especially when you get your rolled ice cream. The only reason I didn't give this place a perfect 5-star is because when they get busy, I mean they do get really busy, it gets too crowded since the place is not too big. And with the amount of people, rolling the ice cream takes longer too. But it is worth the time and money to taste their unique and interesting flavors. read more

Tried the Ferrero Rocher bowl, while my wife had the Oreo bowl. The chocolate ice cream base was forgettable, and the toppings didn't enhance the experience much. The marshmallows weren't warm, and the pocky stick added minimal texture. The bowls are photogenic, but overall, the taste seems gimmicky. There are only a few ice cream base options, which is disappointing. You'd be better off with a more flavorful bowl from Cold Stone or Yogurtland, which offers more interesting combinations. read more

Menu 4 stars: Large selection of the usual coffee shop offerings, plus more: Craft coffee, matcha, shaved ice, Taiyaki (Japanese fish-shaped pastry shell with various fillings), Korean style buns, ice cream, Affogato, Boba, fruit juices, Korean and organic teas, smoothies and pastries. We had regular Cappuccinos which were quite good but everything else also looked inviting. Can't wait to go back and try their other items.

Service was excellent! There was only one employee working at the time, but he was very attentive…read moredespite the lack of help. It had been empty when I arrived, so I thought they might be closed, and when I asked, he addressed me and stepped out from the back to help me immediately. I hadn't been ready and said I needed a minute, which he waited very patiently. To not waste his time, I asked for recommendations, which he was happy to assist! He made the drink within 5 minutes, and even waited for me to come to the counter to pick up my drink rather than leave it unattended :) The royal milk tea was very good! Slightly small for the price, but not unreasonable So sad that the cafe was empty, since it used to be bustling, hopefully it was only due to being a weekday close to closing

I came here with low expectations. I was walking. I was hungry. I saw a poster. It said $9.99 or…read moresomething. It had a breakfast burrito on it. That's cheaper than the food truck. But it's a donut shop. It can't be that good, right? Since it's a donut shop, it takes a bit longer to make here than at like a shop that just does breakfast burritos all the time. However, once you get your breakfast burrito, it's piping hot with egg, cheese, avocado, sausage and a sauce. It is sooooooo good! You can get jalapeños too, but I opted out of those. If you want a breakfast burrito for $10 at an unlikely spot, you should come here. The lady who runs it is really nice. It is either empty or super packed, no in between. And it has decent seating but it's also a donut shop. Check it out!

This is our favorite donut/sandwich shop in K-town. The workers are always sooo sweet and friendly…read moreand gives us donuts on the house each visit!! I don't know why some of the previous reviews are so hostile towards this place. I have been here at least five times and each visit was wonderful. We usually just stop by in the morning to get breakfast sandwiches. Their breakfast burrito is really good for the price, and they don't charge for avocado!!!! amazing. The store itself is pretty small, but cozy. There are three tables with a decent amount of seating. The parking lot is pretty standard for a plaza with small businesses in K-town, but we usually don't have trouble finding parking. Our most recent order was number 17 and 18. So mouthwatering and satisfying, ESPECIALLY for the price. Looking forward to the next time we visit!!
