I've visited this location multiple times for ice cream, and it has consistently been a great…read moreexperience. However, my visit last night was disappointing. The employee assisting us seemed to be in a negative mood and did not provide the level of customer service I've come to expect here. Even my 15-year-old daughter noticed the difference in attitude. I understand that it may have been a busy day and that staff can get tired, but the interaction felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming. This was especially unfortunate because I had just finished a 13-hour shift and wanted to celebrate my daughter's first-place achievement. Instead, the experience did not reflect the positive atmosphere we've previously enjoyed. I'm hopeful this was just an off night, as this location has otherwise been a place I've enjoyed visiting.

We came here after the sticky rice to get ice cream as my daughter was screaming for it…read more We met our server who was a nice guy. Let me sample a bunch of flavors. We ended up going with the most favorited ones. The ice cream was actually delicious as supposedly it was organic and fresh. The whipped cream was not sweet and thick. We ate everything like the little piggies we are.

McConnell's Fine Ice Creams is always a good idea... and apparently, it was everyone's idea that…read moreday because the line was long. One thing I'd say, be mindful when choosing flavors, especially the ones that are freshly made. My husband ordered the Chocolate Hazelnut & Brownie, and the employee let him know it was soft but "still ready." It definitely was not ready. As soon as she handed him the cone, it immediately started melting. It was pretty clear the ice cream needed more time to chill. Still love McConnell's overall, but they should be a little more honest about when a flavor isn't quite ready yet.

Saw this place near my hotel in DTLA and heard a lot of good things about it. After eating ramen, I…read morewent to grab some ice cream from here. The place is super small and no line, but the flavors were plentiful. I forget what they do, but you can get a combo of flavors in a single scoop. Cookies n cream and cookie dough are my two favorites, so I got that combo. It was super yummy. No wonder the place has so many positive reviews on Yelp!!

So an absolute eternity ago, like a decade ago, there was a Paradis in Belmont Shore in Long Beach…read more(which felt like almost as much of a trek from downtown Long Beach as DTLA is, but by bike rather than by train, so we felt a bit more of an excuse to go there and eat ice cream.) Then, an eternity ago, it closed and we were sad. Then Long Beach Creamery opened and we weren't that sad for that long, but still, I absolutely still thought about them every once in a while, sad that they'd left. Then, a much closer eternity ago (about a year ago - I've been super burned-out and not finishing my reviews), I was on my way from an event back to the blue line and walked by and noticed that they had, in fact, just moved. So obviously we had to get some. Verdict - yes, it absolutely was as good as I remembered. I wouldn't go back to DTLA just for ice cream, Long Beach Creamery being walking distance and wonderful, but I would absolutely stop here if I were back in DTLA and wanted ice cream. It's a bit pricey, but all craft ice cream is going to be, and it is definitely craft. And you can save a lot by getting a 3-scoop, which is very much enough to share for two people, if not slightly too much.

I originally stopped here because the pink ice cream looked too cute to ignore, but it actually…read moreended up tasting really good too. It was creamy, flavorful, and not overwhelmingly sugary, which I appreciated. The fish-shaped pastries with filling were honestly my favorite part though. They were warm and freshly made with a really nice texture, especially paired with the cold ice cream. It felt like a fun combination without being gimmicky. The shop itself has a cute and cozy atmosphere that makes the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a good place if you want dessert that feels a little more unique than the usual ice cream spot.

I saw so many young people in cosplay, possibly characters for an anime I'm not familiar with. Look at the photos and see if you recognize it. A character might be called Silverwolf? Anyway, I was so happy to see Somisomi so busy. My friend and I stayed in line for 20 minutes before we were able to place our order, we had only 10 minutes to spare before our tickets at the Aratani Theatre. We wanted to have the milk and 8-bit boysenberry swirl soft serve in a cup. Unfortunately, we realized that we had to decide between possibly not being led into our reserved seat at the theater or missing out on this delicious dessert. It was just a matter of not realizing how long it would take. I don't blame Somisomi because they had a huge number of ahbong to make fresh, and of course, there was no way to cut in line We ended up telling the lovely staff that we had to leave, and to please give our orders under "Coco" to someone for free so it wouldn't be wasted. I'm sure it would've been tart and delicious!! The staff were working hard and very patient. They sometimes had to call names three times to get a response for adding toppings. If you go there and it's crowded, please be patient and also please be ready to go up to claim your order right away for the sake of the waiting hungry crowd ;)!

I usually get the Sweetie (true milk ice cream with drizzled 100% natural raw honey) or Matcha Sweetie (same as Sweetie but with ceremonial matcha ice cream instead of true milk ice cream). Luckily, when I visit with my partner, we can get both flavors to share. In addition to ice cream, this place serves a variety of drinks like milkshakes, teas, and lattes. I like that I'm always able to get in and out of this store fairly quickly. This is one of the worthwhile dessert shops to check out if you are in Little Tokyo.

And I mean old school like salt water Taffy, chocolate gold coins, root beer gummies and jawbreakers. On the ice cream side they have all the retro flavors like rocky road, mint chocolate chip, and butter pecan. You don't need lavender matcha to have a great ice cream experience, you need cookies and cream. Lastly, they have the classic ice cream combinations that I remember like root beer floats, hot fudge sundaes, shakes AND malts, and the holy grail of ice cream creations, the banana split. I even saw an upside down ice cream sugar cone decorated like a clown with a pointy hat and it just took me back to elementary school. Wow. Prices were not bad at all and there was no line when we arrived.

Fosselman's Ice Cream is one of the few remaining old-fashioned ice cream parlors that still…read morecaptures a true sense of nostalgia. The parking is limited so park ion the street and you'll see lines outside. Walking inside feels like stepping back in time, with classic décor evokes the charm of a 1970s ice cream shop. There are limited seatings. Whether you're stopping in for a scoop, a sundae, or a milkshake, the experience feels delightfully and reminds you of a simpler era when neighborhood ice cream parlors were the place to gather and enjoy a sweet treat. This pace also sells candy by the pound, as well. There are a dozen plus flavors -- classic, upcoming like Ube mango or celebratory like one dedicated to the Dodgers! Just like old times, you order and pay through one person. You do get a couple samples if you choose.

He said it wasn't too sweet and had lovely bitter, more earthy notes from the hojicha. I am a matcha fan so I just stick with 100% matcha flavor, but both options are solid! The soft serve is such a yummy texture that's perfectly creamy and dusted with matcha powder for an extra kick. It tastes rich and authentic, without any grassy notes typical of cheap matcha. I crave it once a week at least! This place is solid for avid matcha fans and just-starting-out matcha tasters. Great spot!

This is a premium ice cream shop with milk/cream imported from a Korean dairy farm, as I was told by the gentleman who served me. Service was fantastic and informative. They offer about 6 flavors at a time and you can taste before choosing. All are delicious so it's difficult to choose. The texture is very silky and creamy, not too airy. You can't go wrong with the milk flavor which is pure and clean. I absolutely loved both the Korean Coffee (strong coffee flavor) and the strawberries and cream which is one of the better strawberry versions I've had. You can get it in a cup or cone, with many enhanced cone styles, and an included topping of crushed oreos, fruity pebbles or sprinkles. The outer walls are pink, just asking for a colorful photo with your ice cream.
