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 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!
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.
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!
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!
I didn't realize how unidimensional most ice creams I have had are until I visited Kinrose. Each bite contains layers--whether it be floral, spicy, sweet, or sour. The toppings add additional texture and notes, perhaps best exemplified by their bestselling Walnut Baklava, with spiced baklava bits sitting atop a brown sugar ice cream base or their IG-friendly Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss, which is beautifully decorated with a cotton candy-esque web. I didn't have the time or stomach space to try all the flavors so I went with the Labneh Honeycomb which was tart, refreshing, and perfectly creamy. It's been hours since we had the ice creams but my husband and I are still talking about it! We cannot wait to go back (and for their new location to open up in Encino)!
I've never had Persian ice cream before but WOW was I impressed!! The employees were super friendly and let me sample as many flavors as I wanted. Everything I tried was super unique and unlike any ice cream I've tried before. I ended up ordering a scoop of the sour cherry and fairy floss flavor. I'm usually not a fan of cherry flavored things because the taste is too artificial for me but this ice cream tasted like real cherries and was sooo delicious! 10/10 would recommend. The store itself is super cute and is in one of the alley ways in Old Town. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It also has a few old school arcade games, like Pac-Man, which is fun! Overall, I'd highly recommend Kinrose.
I am such a huge fan of Kinrose! All of their Middle Eastern inspired flavors are delicious in different ways, and they offer samples so you can explore their options and choose which one is best for you. Service is reserved but welcoming, and the ambiance is inviting. We usually sit on the small "patio" (seats in the alley) as we typically stop for a bite while we're out with our dog. We'll definitely come again soon.
kinrose creamery: middle eastern inspired ice cream place. v unique and creative flavors that they let u all sample. none of there flavors r too sweet and all v creamy i went w the classic saffron pistachio rose which was . highly recommendd!! plus they had a cute pac-man arcade machine inside read more
Really unique ice cream spot in downtown pasadena. I go to wanderlust and salt n straw all the time, but this is a good alternate if you want unique flavors that don't feel random (salt n straw) or sort of Americanized flavors (wanderlust). Here you'll get something truly different and true to Middle Eastern roots. They actually encourage you try as many flavors as you want so you know what you're getting into and are super grateful for every customer that comes by. I took off a star because you lose the floral taste towards the end, but I still loved it because it reminded me of kulfi. Definitely coming back. read more
If you are in need of unique ice cream flavors, this is the place to be. The store has minimalist and colorful decors. I ordered Saffron Pistachio Rose and it was delicious, the ice cream is very creamy and the Saffron wasn't overpowering. My partner ordered Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell "Dubai Chocolate," she paid $1 for the chocolate shell. It was definitely worth it. There's only one size of ice cream cup. We wil definitely back to try their other flavors. read more
Excellent flavors with a nice variety for any preferences. It is a smaller space but more seating than most ice cream shops. Indoor and outdoor seating. They only sell pints of four flavors dory h weekdays only. Great friendly service read more

So so good!! I've had this place on my list ever since it has opened so finally stopped by after dinner. On a summer night it was definitely busy and so many people were enjoying their ice cream. The customer service was amazing, we were able to get all the flavors before we decided on which one we wanted. All the flavors were genuinely so good and so fresh. It's a super casual spot and lots of seats indoors and a few outdoors. I highly would recommend and will be back! read more
Amazing delectable ice cream, Iranian or middle eastern flavor?! Super creamy yet just right sweetness and unique flavors! We tried few different samples and hard to choose which one. Also loved fig and cream. Highly recommend this place! read more

This place is a fantastic find! What makes Kinrose so special -- apart from just great ice cream -- is that their flavors represent so many middle eastern desserts you rarely encounter in the US. Baklava, of course, but also helva, pişmaniye, sour cherry, rice pudding, pistachio & saffron, and more. Delightful spot. read more
This place is a HIDDEN GEM! Kinrose offers an amazing selection of middle eastern flavored ice creams, which feature elements like pistachio, rose, and baklava. They also offer free samples so you can try as much as you want and decide your favorite! There was no wait when I came here, and the staff were helpful. The interior had some seating and cool wall art. Overall, this place had a very artsy and artisan vibe. Loved it! read more
This place has been on our list for a while & it did not disappoint! I highly recommend the saffron rose pistachio if you're looking for something sweet & the fig olive if you want something more savory. It's a little pricey, but a delicious once-in-awhile treat. read more
Haven't had tried middle eastern inspired ice cream, I already wanted to try this for its unique and creative takes on different flavor profiles. I wanted to give a shout out to the workers who were so kind to let us try basically almost every flavor since everything looked so good. We ultimately decided on their walnut baklava, which was a nice creamy and nutty flavor that provided a lot of nice textures when paired with the other ice cream, as well as their saffron pistachio rose, which was my personal favorite. The slight hint of saffron with the freshness of the rose and the slight sweetness and nuttiness of the pistachio was such a lovely combination that worked so well with the baklava that added great texture. Inside its a very cute shop with very few seating but there are seats outside when it gets a bit too full! Overall, definitely a new experience that I think everyone should try at least once to see if this flavor profile is for you! read more
Kinrose Creamery, located in Old Town Pasadena, serves Persian ice cream, and by some accounts Persians proudly claim that they were the original inventors of ice cream. Regardless of historical accuracy, I can confidently say that this place offers some of the best ice cream I've had in a long time (and I'm a fan of Saffron & Rose in Westwood, which has always been my absolute favorite option, and is also Persian). Kinrose offers a variety of exotic flavors, and they happily provide samples. We tried several before settling on Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss as well as Lavashak (tamarind & pomegranate). Both flavors, along with the samples, were absolutely delicious--rich, unique, and beyond description. I will definitely be coming back to Kinrose Creamery. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a good adventure in ice cream flavors. read more
Ice cream flavors were absolutely delicious, I loved the Sheer Aroz the most personally as it was simple, not too sweet, and the bits of rice really added to it! The candy floss on top of the sour cherry was also divine. The staff was extremely friendly and patient with us asking to try samples, and the store was cozy and surprisingly busy for 7pm or so. Will absolutely be back! read more

Came in 30 minutes before close and there was a very nice ambiance in the store! The chairs and decor are beautiful and colorful. We weren't sure what to order so we sampled some and ordered 3. The sweet cream kanef was by far the best, it has such a light sweet flavor with crunchy kanef on top. Then my second fav was the walnut icecream which was not overly sweet and had a nice texture change. We also tried the sour cherry flavor which was good especially if you like a berry yogurt flavor. Service was good. Would 100% come back and bring friends to try! Parking was easy to find street parking but I can see how it may be difficult to find parking during peak hours. read more

The ice cream here is delicious. Very greet you with a smile and allow for samples. Ambience is nice. The paintings the music. It's a very calm cool place to be to get ice cream now onto the ice cream. I say this is my favorite and highly recommend. I've even brought my Iraqi mother-in-law here and she enjoyed it. read more
Great service and incredible flavors. Kinrose creamery is not your typical ice cream parlor. They use an array of uncommon flavors like saffron, rose and tamarind. When we came in we were created to a bright and colorful space. Very fun. They allow for free samples and we're incredibly patient with our party of four. I settled with a pomegranate topped with tamarind sauce and a scoop or saffron rose. Two scoops of ice cream is only 2 dollars more. Who could hate that? If you are a fan of different flavors and good service. Stop by! I'm glad we did! read more

Super unique flavors. I need to try them all! The workers are so kind to entertain many samples, but I am too shy to put them through more than 3 samples. Idk am I an empath?? The fig and olive oil ice cream is so good. And it was good olive oil, not the bitter kind. read more
The lines really fast and the flavors of the ice cream is spectacular. Its a tad on the sweeter side but the pistachio rose saffron is pretty amazing and the halva vegan one was pretty unique. But it was a good unique. Overall, a huge plus for ice cream lovers. Give it a try. read more
My friends and I came here for a post-workout treat and the quality of this ice cream surprised me! This wasn't my first time having Persian style ice cream but the pistachio konafa with chocolate shell was something special. The creamy nutty flavor paired well with the rich chocolate shell and the textural crunch of the konafa bits. Really colorfully decorated interior and a patient staff that'll let you sample the flavors before you commit 10/10 - ended up coming here twice in one week read more
Kinrose is a pretty new addition to Old Town Pasadena's lineup of ice cream shops, but they are super unique! I came on a Tues afternoon with my friend, and it was empty at the time. The worker let us sample all the different flavors that we were interested in (with the toppings too!), and we ended up getting all of those same flavors because they were so delicious. I got the konafa and the lavashak, and my friend got the sour cherry + fairy floss and saffron pistachio rose. If you have ever had Persian ice cream before, Kinrose offers similar middle eastern flavors, but the extra toppings they add for each flavor truly elevates it. The crispy bits for the konafa added a nice element of texture, and the syrup on the lavashak was pleasantly sour. The fairy floss made the sour cherry ice cream fun to eat, and the saffron pistachio rose was a good standard saffron pistachio flavor. It was a little pricey, but I don't regret getting all the different flavors because I think they're worth it for the quality and taste. Will definitely come back to Kinrose so my husband can try next time! read more

Cute ice cream shop with a cafe vibe, with indoor/outdoor seating & arcade games. They had interesting flavors from the Middle East, Iran & Egypt. The servers were very patient in letting us try different samples. I really liked the sour cherry & fairy floss, it had a light flavor, not too strong & the fairy floss complimented the ice cream very well. My friend enjoyed the walnut baklava & the pistachio konafa with chocolate shell. Will definitely return to try more flavors. read more
Honestly this is one of the best ice cream places in the city. All the flavors are a perfect balance of creaminess, freshness, texture and tastes! While most ice cream places are pretty overpriced nowadays this one is truly worth every penny. I hope that they put the menu larger on the back wall so it's easier to see while you wait in line. But great service from the employees who explained all the flavors. And loved the comfy hole in the wall vibes. Will definitely be coming back! read more

This place has very good quality ice cream. The texture is just perfect! I added the fairy floss on my ice cream and it was delicious. read more
My buddy and I stop by to check this place out. It's a unique ice cream shop that emphasizes on Middle Eastern flavors. The worker recommended the Walnut Baklava Ice Cream. It's basically like a Vanilla Bean flavor with the Baklava mashed on the top. The ice cream is not too sweet and the Baklava was amazing. There are seating areas inside however the only downside about this place - they don't offer public bathrooms. read more
Parking on the streets is free after 8pm from Monday to Thursday. We found parking on Green street and walked down to the alley. Cute little store. We got the duo which is two scoops for $9.50. One scoop is $7.50. We got the walnut baklava and the sour cherry with candy floss. Wow!! Both flavors were amazing. For some of the reviews that said it was pricy: the scoops were small but I think since the flavors are so unique it's worth every penny. The one thing I wish they had, was a slightly bigger cup. The two scoops with the toppings - it was overflowing and hard to eat without stuff falling out. read more

This Middle Eastern ice cream place opened a while back in Old Pasadena and I found it while strolling around after eating something nearby. It has one of the most unique lineups for ice cream I've ever encountered. I was able to get samples of the Saffron Pistachio Rose, Walnut Baklava, Lavashak, and Egyptian Mint Chip flavors. I picked Saffron Pistacho Rose because it wasn't too sweet and was very aromatic. I liked the Walnut Baklava as well because they had baklava bits to go along with the brown sugar in the ice cream. The place has a cool/cozy vibe and they even have an old Pacman arcade machine in here! Service was also fantastic, would come back to try more flavors in the future! read more

Stopped by after learning they have a vegan flavor, sesame halva which they top with halva floss and a rose. It's a nice spot if you're coming with a group that is already set on getting dessert here and don't want to feel left out otherwise it was just okay. I wouldn't come here just for this ice cream as it was just okay. I wish they had more non dairy options as the other flavors seemed more interesting. The service was good, they were friendly and quick. I paid cash and was told it was an option if I was okay not getting any change back. read more
