    I thought this was so funny
    Ashley M.

    This is a nice little family owned ice cream spot! As soon as I walked in I got greeted with the biggest smile and "welcome"! The energy right away felt so authentic and pure. The guy who I believe is the owner was so friendly and let us try any flavor we wanted. It was a father and daughter who served us and they were so friendly and funny. I got the strawberry Jamaica and mango water based ice cream. It was so refreshing, it wasn't too sweet, and the texture of the ice cream was just perfect! I don't like when ice cream is too sweet where you can taste the syrup. I like that they have unique flavors like Fresa Jamaica, Peppermint Pineapple, and a 3 berry blend (raspberries,blueberries,blackberries) flavor. Loved everything about this place, I can't wait to be back to try the coconut milk based ice cream and all their other flavors (:

    Tostilocos
    Elia M.

    Absolutely love coming to this small business!! The owner is super friendly, always welcoming with a smile. The tostilocos and nieves are DELICIOUS and not overly sweet. In this 90+ degree weather, this place will hit the spot. Definitely a must try!!

    What a gem!!! To find Mexican style ice cream over here is such a treat. Nieve de garrafa is the style of ice cream and it's usually more of a sorbet like texture. Very smooth and refreshing with natural ingredients or flavors! I love it cause it's a lot lighter than US ice creams. We got the flavors - coconut & strawberry hibiscus, horchata, mango and lime with tajin and chamoy All were hits! My favorite was the coconut. The interior was nice and looks newly renovated. They had A/C on a hot day and a cute little patio. There was also parking. The service was quick, and the cashier understood both English and Spanish. She was friendly too. We will be back!

    Vanilla!

    Absolutely amazing service every time! Clean, and amazing ambiance everything on the menu is delicious, the tostilocos here is the BEST!!!

    This brings me back to my mom and dad home town in Yahualica Jalisco. Best chocolate abuelita so far I have tasted especially the small pieces of Chocolate you get with every bite you take. And the other flavor I got was the horchata taste just if you are having the drink. Yea I know I had it for yesterday with the rain lol but I was craving ice cream yesterday and this hit the spot I needed it yesterday. I got the pint and it was around $6.75 I think I paid $14 for two pints come and support our small business in Montebello you won't regret this delicious ice cream

    Pineapple/coconut
    Dadli Y.

    Was in the area and had to see what the rave was about, and it did not disappoint! So many fun flavors and I had to go with the pineapple/coconut to cool down from such a hot day. The place is cute and small with lots of people getting their ice cream to go. Super friendly, who I am assuming is the owner.

    Friendly staff fast service nice patio to chat in the back and parking on the side can't beat their prices !

    We had just finished lunch at BLVD and my wife wanted something sweet. We decided to come check this place out and it did not disappoint. I love their ice cream flavors and everything tasted so fresh and natural. The worker was really friendly too even after all the samples my wife asked for.

    nuez & chocolate de mi angelita, tostilocos con todo, vanilla

    immediately when we walked in, we were welcomed. store was clean and the options were great. They have water based and milk based flavors. i got a double scoop with nuez and chocolate de mi abuelita. good flavors. my sister got vanilla and we shared a tostilocos. everything was so yummy. prices are reasonable.

    Nieve in the cutest cups

    Cute little nieve spot in Montebello. I've been been here about 2 or 3 times. The water-based nieves are really good (could be a little sweeter). They have so many flavors to choose from! My favorite flavors so far are the taro (milk-based) and blended berry (water-based). There is plenty of seating inside but it usually feels a bit warm so we take our nieve to go. Wait times have always been very short too. Overall, I recommend this little hidden gem!

    Two scoops. Chocolate abuelita and mazzapan. $4. 8/10
    Ozzy R.

    Been seeing this place as I pass by. Yelps said it was good. And it was. The ice cream had a watery texture to it. It melted fast. I asked if it was milk based. They said yes. Still not creamy or churned. But good. I got two scoops for $4. Not bad. But very basic small scoops. Plenty of flavors to choose from. Downside for me was the consistency. But I love supporting small, local businesses. I definitely enjoyed my ice cream for what it was. The Mexican themed flavors were nostalgic. Service was good. Friendly, helpful people here. So thanks to them. Keep up the good work.

You can order either at a kiosk or go the the counter to order there. They offer an extensive selection of snow flavors, syrups, and toppings. There's also a variety of other desserts and beverages, but I have never been able to resist the snow. Be aware that the small size is large enough for 2 or 3 people to share, and the medium is bigger still. On the several times I've been here, service has always been both cheerful and speedy.

You can order at the kiosk and its super easy. This recent time I got the pandan flavoured ice with 3 toppings: boba, oatmeal, rainbow jelly, condensed milk. The pandan flavoring was really, really light. If you ate it on its own then you can taste it but with any of the toppings, it washes out and you get a weird bitter aftertaste. Needs way more intensity of the Pandan for it to shine through. The boba was sadly unevenly cooked. Some balls were undercooked with a little firm center, others were completely mushy. Rainbow jelly is the usual one you can get anywhere, nothing special to comment on. Free parking lot out front but can get busy. You can find street parking in the nearby areas too. Inside the place is small with a few tables you can sit at, clean and comfortable enough. People are nice I suppose but there was minimal interaction since you order and pay at the kiosk. Pricing was reasonable, not cheap, not overly expensive. They open really late, which is a perk. Overall 4/5 I think is fair. Ive had better items from them in the past, but this time 3.5/5 for quality of their product.

We also get regular scoops, the pre packaged quarts, and sometimes the milkshakes too. I'm writing this review now, after many years, because I was recently SO impressed with my online order. I ordered a chocolate ice cream cake (choco cake and choco ice cream) through the app. I was able to use my $5 off cake coupon as well. I called ahead of time and asked if they can make the chick cake into a character from Sanrio (Gudetama) instead. The person I spoke to, John, was super helpful and kind throughout the whole process. I emailed him the photo ideas I had and the cake decorator was able to accomplish the task! John was in consistent communication with me throughout my two week in-advanced order. The decorator did such an amazing job and my family was so happy with the results. The cake and ice cream also tasted delicious! During pick up, the workers greeted me as I entered. I was helped by John and he reassured me that the cake was indeed chocolate ice cream/chocolate cake. I appreciated that he checked before the outside icing went on. We are very happy with the service of the employees, the scrumptious cake received, the easiness of ordering and communicating, and the smooth and fast experience of picking up the order on Father's Day Sunday. We will be telling all our friends and family about our amazing cake experience!

The girl working the counter was a young girl just getting by her summer day job. She was nice but timid. It was our first time there and a little more energy on her end could've been better. Ordered the ube swirl, pineapple dole whip, mung bean taiyaki, and a custard one togo. The taiyaki that goes onto the ice cream is a lot bigger than one we ordered to go. I thought it would be as big, but when I got it, it was so much smaller and flat. Also, the taiyaki that goes on top of the ice cream was old. It had been sitting there for a while or was made earlier as it was hard and difficult to bite. The red bean inside I also assumed was a paste like how they make the Japanese version, however there were whole pieces in there. It was okay, but I thought they'd be like paste. Overall, the only thing that was good was the ube swirl and the pineapple dole whip. It was also extremely warm in the shop, like no AC in the triple digits summer heat. Had to eat it elsewhere. I most likely won't be back.

While the shop is pretty small, it's more ideal for a grab and go type of shop rather than a hangout spot. Although they do have some small tables and bench seating. Free street parking + parking lot in the back, underground parking as well along with free Wi-Fi in the shop. Staff here is pretty mixed. While they're friendly, they seem a bit slow at times. They can take up to 10-15 minutes per order even if there's not much customers, not sure what the exact process is but sometimes they're fast but sometimes slow, could be just a off chance experience. Most pictures you see from Tea Brick are their amazing and unique bottle designs, which you can pay a tad bit extra to get the bottle with your drink rather than the standard cups. I'd say it's pretty worth it considering it's not too much of a expensive and it's definitely worth the social media posts. It's very cute and they have plenty of designs from time to time. As a dog owner, I love their designs. They can be reusable in a sense even though there's a hole for your straw that you can't seal yourself. As for the drinks, they're not the best but not the worse either. They can be refreshing at times especially on a warmer day. Overall, a decent experience, more of a experience to get their cute bottle cups rather than the drinks. Regardless, happy overall with their decent quality drinks and their amazing cup designs.
