This review is not for the location but the ice cream itself. We had their fantastic lavashak ice cream at the 2nd annual smorgasjoon event, also known as smorgasburg. The ice cream was creamy and delicious and the lavashak gave it a fantastic kick of sour that you get from a sour fruit roll. I will definitely venture out to try more of their flavors! I definitely recommend giving them a try!
I love a little middle eastern ice cream action! They encourage you to sample as many of the flavors as you'd like which is really nice. They may even add the toppings on your sample too so you get the whole experience. Delicious flavors to choose from. Seating is limited, but it's located in a prime walking location anyways, so it doesn't matter all that much. If there is a line, it is still worth the wait.
My husband and I stopped by here on Monday night after eating at Edwin Mills. My husband had this spot bookmarked a while ago and didn't realize they were neighboring businesses. When we arrived, we were the only two there for a few minutes until more people came. We were greeted right away. We walked down a ramp that led us to their selections. It's a decent-sized shop with a few tables. Each table had a rose in a vase attached via velcro so you don't have to worry about tipping them over. The shop is also nicely decorated with wall art. It's been a few days since then and we can't stop thinking about coming back. They serve unique Middle-Eastern flavored ice cream. I ordered the Sesame Halva which is their vegan ice cream made of Halva ice cream with sesame & coconut. OMG, I've never tasted anything like this before. I love anything that has a sesame profile. If you like that nutty, sweet, and earthy flavor this one is for you. I could taste the coconut, but it wasn't overpowering. There were also little chunks of halva in there that added a slight bit of sweetness. The texture was similar to cookie dough, but softer. Aside from the taste, I loved the simple presentation of the small rose on top of the scoop. It made it look elegant. As you can tell, I am definitely coming back and highly recommend stopping by.
Wow, I found Kinrose via Yelp. I wanted to try a unique local ice cream spot and saw the floss rose ice cream cup and was very curious. We got the Walnut Baklava and Sour Cherry & Fairy floss (pashmak).. both were delicious! I love how my sour cherry complimented the fairy floss so much and I love eating the floss, which I believe is the sweet cream Iranian candy floss. My bf really liked the Walnut Baklava, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was full of flavor. They also encourage you to taste the flavor before committing to buying but I knew what I wanted and was so happy with my choice. Def would recommend and would def come back if I'm in the area.
The flavors are unlike anything else and it takes me ages to decide on my 1-2 scoops because I want them all. Two of my favorites are probably the Saffron Pistachio Rose and Fig and Olive. Quite hard to get seating on a Friday evening, as would be expected, but it's a nice establishment to chill out in if you manage to get a table.
Finally Checked This Spot Off My Yelp List -- Worth the Wait! Finally got to try KINROSE, which has been sitting on my Yelp list for over a year now -- and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! First things first, this place is definitely hidden in an alleyway, so make sure you have your Google Maps ready or you might walk right past it like we almost did. The moment I saw their Fairy Floss Sour Cherry, I was completely mesmerized -- so you already know I had to order it. This flavor is made with sour cherries and sweet cream dressed in Iranian candy floss, topped with pistachio dust, and it was hands-down my absolute favorite of the night. Singles are $8 and duos are $10.50, which is pretty reasonable considering how unique the flavors are. Fairy Floss Sour Cherry -- 9.2/10 The sour cherry had that perfect balance of sweet with a subtle tang, and the fairy floss texture added such a fun, delicate touch. The flavors paired beautifully together -- definitely the star of the night for me. Hubby ordered the duo, and I helped pick the flavors (of course ): Walnut Baklava -- 8/10 This one had a brown sugar and spiced walnut base topped with baked baklava bits. The walnut flavor was subtle, and I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. The baklava topping added a nice texture without being too heavy. Saffron Pistachio Rose -- 7/10 A delicate flavor made with pure Iranian saffron ice cream, rosebud garnish, and crunchy pistachio bits. Quick tip -- don't be like me and think the rosebud decoration is edible... because it's not lol. The flavor was interesting, but the saffron was very light, so it didn't stand out as much as I expected. This ended up being my least favorite of the three. Since there were so many unique flavors, the staff kindly let us sample a few others -- and I really appreciated that because it made choosing even harder! I also got to try: * Fig & Olive * Ahwa Qahveh Date (Creamy Coffee) * Sheer Moz Brulee * Konafa * Labna Honeycomb There are honestly so many flavors to explore, which just means we'll definitely be back. The servers were incredibly sweet and patient with us while we sampled, and even though they were busy, the service was still very fast and efficient. You can definitely tell this is a local favorite spot for a late-night sweet treat. Between the creative flavors, friendly service, and fun experience, this place easily makes it into my Top 5 ice cream spots. A definite must-try if you're in the area -- and yes, I'm already planning my next visit with hubby. Happy eats!
Kinrose located in the alleyway is a hidden gem. The staff is always friendly and emphasizes that you can literally sample as much as you want. With the flavors being so new to me, I truly appreciate that because not all ice cream shops are serviceable like that. My go to flavor has to be the Walnut Baklava with brown sugar. The ice cream is flavorful and creamy and they're very generous with the topping. The shop has plenty tables and seating indoors along with 2-3 tables outdoors. The only small complaint I have is the table decorations are permanently in the middle of the table haha but that doesn't take away from giving them 5 stars.
I went here yesterday afternoon. It's a hole in the wall, found it in an alley. Voices echo when people talk. I love the potted plants, makes it greener. I like the floor to ceiling windows. The employee asked us if we wanted to try the flavors. I chose the walnut baklava. A rose is on each table. Music plays through the speaker. I chose the single walnut baklava in the end. It had a perfect amount of walnut and baklava pieces or crumbs. A flower bud was placed on top to enhance the presentation which I appreciated. I ended up being full after eating it.
Kinrose Creamery is a cute little ice cream shop in Pasadena located on a small alley way. This ice cream shop offers very unique flavors that surprisingly mix well and actually tastes delicious. I would have to say the flavors are more of an acquired taste but nonetheless very good and worth trying!
Absolutely love coming here! This time I got the Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss and the Pistachio Kanafa with Chocolate Shell, and both totally delivered. The sour cherry flavor was perfectly balanced -- not overly tart at all. It had this subtle yogurt-like creaminess that paired so well with the sweetness of the fairy floss. Such a fun combo without being overpowering and textures are amazing! The pistachio kanafa was just as impressive -- super nutty, rich, and really solid in flavor. I prefer the pistachio alone without chocolate but adding chocolate gave a fun texture difference. On top of the amazing flavors, they offer samples (including toppings!), which makes it even more fun to try new things. And there's 2 free Pac-Man arcade machines you can play while you're there -- such a cool bonus. Overall, I love it here and will definitely keep coming back!
Very yummy middle eastern flavors! At a shop down Mills Alley. We tried the halva and the konafa, and went with the konafa! Very delicious with the phyllo dough crunchies on it, as well as a couple of beautiful edible rose blooms. Reminds of Booza I've had in Berkeley! Cute little shop, and friendly scoopers who were really patient handing everyone samples!
What a beautiful Ice cream shop in old town Pasadena!. The decor is colorful and vibrant and it has a youthful and cheerful vibe. Their signature flavors are very unique. The young man who served us, was very nice and friendly. He told us that we can try any flavor of our choice. I ended up trying walnut Baklava and saffron Pistachio Rose. They were irresistible and these were my duo scoops order. My husband's order was Orange Flavor pistachios; which was creamy orange blossoms swirled with crunchy pistachio bits. He loved the texture and the flavor. Since my daughter always loves chocolate mint, she couldn't resist ordering The Egyptian Mint Chip ice cream. It was stretched Egyptian style Ice cream with mint and chocolate chips. It was refreshing with such a unique texture too. It was a marvelous discovery. It is a nice place to hang out. I highly recommend the Kinrose creamery. It is so far the top ice cream shop that I have tried this year. read more

I heard about this place on TikTok, saw it was in Pasadena, and bookmarked it. When I was finally in the area looking for a sweet treat, I remembered Kinrose. If you're not familiar with Old Town, this is in the Mills Place Alley so you wouldn't be able to see it on the street. This place caught my eye because of the Middle Eastern ice cream flavors which are very different and very unique! The staff was friendly and helpful as I figured out which flavor to get. I got to sample a few before I went with my choice of baklava. Very refreshing & very unique. The place is quite small, but the ice cream flavors are very unique with flavors I have never seen or tasted before, which I think makes this place special and worth a try. read more

I love the flavor combinations and the chewy texture of the ice cream itself. We got the saffron pistachio rose and orange flower pistachio. Both hit the spot! I only tried 4 samples and they were all so good. Next time I have to try the rest. read more

Kinrose Creamery truly impressed me. I tried the Lavashak ice cream and the Konafa, and both were exceptional. The Lavashak had that nostalgic, tangy flavor of Persian fruit leather, transformed into a smooth, creamy treat--it was such a creative twist. The Konafa was beautifully done: crispy, sweet, and full of that rich Middle Eastern pastry flavor without being too heavy. I really appreciate how they highlight Middle Eastern and Persian culture in such a thoughtful and delicious way. The staff was kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere had a great vibe. I'll definitely be returning! read more

Unique Middle Eastern flavors and really nice ice cream. Not the place to go for your traditional sweet American flavors but the texture and amazing flavor are deserving of a look. The staff lets you sample flavors you might not be sure about and even ask you about allergies ahead of time. read more

A really cool twist on ice cream. Personally, I'm lactose intolerant so the vegan option was really nice. If you're Middle Eastern, you're used to these flavors and they are delicious. If you're not, some are a little strong (halva) but they're definitely very sweet and very tasty. There was a long line, but they moved through it as efficiently as possible, and the ambience inside is cute. They added a few arcade games games and they have plenty of seating inside and outside, so you can definitely grab a seat to enjoy your ice cream. read more

Hidden in the alley (Mills Pl) - same alley as Savvvys, Roots & Rye and The Dog Bakery. So glad they opened up a location in Old Town Pasadena. We were thinking of going back to Smorgasburg (where we first saw Kinrose) to give them a try. Bf liked my Walnut Baklava & Saffron Pistachio Rose and I liked his Orange Flower Pistachio. They're all good imo. Had a sample of the Lavashak (pomegranate & tamarind). It was not bad. Looking forward to come back to try more flavors Walnut Baklava 4.5/5 Saffron Pistachio Rose 4.5/5 Orange Flower Pistachio 4.5/5 read more

Love that you can try out the ice cream here! The person behind the counter handed us a menu, which was great due to 3 people being in front of us, sampling the delicious flavors they have! It was a warm night, so we sat outside at one of their outdoor tables in the alley, while listening to the music outside. read more

My friend and I were super excited to try Kinrose after hearing about the Iranian candy floss. We visited at around 7:30 pm on a Friday. There were only two parties of two ahead of us in line, but we must've waited at least 10 minutes before we were served. There were three employees who were nice, but it took an incredibly long time for them to serve samples and prepare each order. I usually like trying novel ice cream flavors, but I just couldn't find one that really spoke to me. Some of the flavors tasted very muted or heavy on cream while others were too floral for me. I ended up going with the Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss and Sheer Aroz. The Iranian candy floss was a great topping but I wish it was available to add to other flavors. I really wanted to like this place, but none of the flavors spoke to me and the service was slow. Parking is available on nearby streets and structures. There were several indoor and outdoor tables for seating. read more

Located down the alley accessible from Colorado or green street. I've had a few middle eastern inspired creameries in the past, I like how they let you sample whatever you'd like. Of course saffron is a staple and it tasted good. Baklava looked amazing but was lacking a little something. I do appreciate the innovative flavors, for a different ice cream experience. Also like how you can do a double flavor in a serving and the presentation is beautiful. Employees are friendly and more than willing to tell you their own favorite flavors. Seating is super limited. read more

Unique flavor selections and quality ice cream. I tried the rice pudding & my friend tried the baklava. We'll be visiting this spot again for sure ! read more
Tucked away in a back alley of old town Pasadena, this little shop is such a hidden find. The decor gives off a very eclectic retro vibes and there's plenty of tables to sit if you want to stay and enjoy your ice cream. The flavors are very unique and different from your regular baskin Robbin's flavors. I love that they let you sample and put the toppings on the sample bites so you can get the full experience. My favorites were the walnut baklava and the pistachio saffron rose but honestly couldn't have gone wrong with most of these flavors! I would definitely come back to try other flavors in the future. read more

Such unique ice cream flavors! I've never had saffron ice cream and it was divine! I'm glad I got to sample a lot of them. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We went in the afternoon so it wasn't too busy. There are some seats inside but on a busy night, I bet it gets packed! read more
Tried this place at Smorgasburg last year. They finally opened a brick and mortar so we stopped by after lunch. They had just opened so we were the only ones. The space is nice and clean and the service is really friendly. read more

Deliciously rich, subtly sweet ice cream with authentic middle eastern flavors that we are so lucky to now have in Pasadena! The variety of flavors blew me away, I had to sample as many as I could because I knew how good they'd all be and how could I choose just one. I'm one of the lucky ones to have grown up eating all these middle eastern deserts and every flavor I sampled was spot on. You can feel the love in every scoop, they even add toppings to every sample so you get all the flavors. Wow! What a treat. Sheer arroz, baklava, orange flower pistachio and kunafe were our favorites this time around. On our best or worst day, ice cream is just what makes everything better. Then there's Kinrose, here to save us all! read more

Wow, discovering this place was dangerous for my health. I've heard of Kinrose before, and was so excited to try. There was a short line but it moved so quickly! Service was amazing. Vibes were great! My favorite was definitely the baklava. Wow! I didn't know ice cream tasted that great. The texture mixed with the ice cream did something for me. I ate it so fast. I also got the mint, but baklava was *chefs kiss* I wish I ate inside but there weren't much table space. It was beautiful anyways. read more

A cute little creamery located in an alley of Old Town Pasadena. They have unique flavors and even though it was my first time visiting, they were so nice and patient with me. They offered samples and suggested flavors to me. I ended up getting the Sour Cherry and Fairy Floss. The fairy floss tasted like cotton candy which complemented the tartness of the sour cherry ice cream. Pretty expensive for a cup of ice cream though. read more
