    Tostilocos
    Julie V.

    Save your money and do NOT come here! I decided to give this place a try but I was extremely disappointed. Service was extremely slow, there were 2 people in front of me and I waited 30 minutes because the worker was busy gossiping on the phone. She also served the 2 pieces of fruit and told me to add the lemon, chamoy, and Tajin by myself. As for the fruit they only add cucumber and jicama, what a shame to even call this a "tostiloco" it was very nasty and tasted old & stale. This was a waste of almost $11. I will definitely NEVER come back here &. will continue going to my regular Michoacana in La Puente. This was a huge disappointment!

    My wife and I received great service as we tasted-tested a a few of their many flavors. Every taste was remarkable. The pistachio ice cream tastes like pistachios, the tequila almond ice cream tasted like tequila with almonds, etc etc. In my opinion, this place serves flavors that taste truer than Baskin Robbins, Cold Stone, and some other places I've tried. I ordered a scoop of Pistachio and Pecan ("Nuez"), my wife ordered a scoop of Rompope and Chocolate Abuelita. On top of it all, the presentation and cleanliness of this place is unmatched. And there's a beautiful place to take a picture with Monarch Butterfly wings

    Bionicos

    Came here yesterday for a little pick me up since I wasn't that hungry. Ordered the bionicos and honestly it was good and refreshing. I was surprised to see that they added grapes to it, which was good. The only down side to it is that in my opinion, it was too watery for me. The prize was decent for the portion. Overall, I would come back and get it again, but maybe less watery lol

    Look at how much empty space is at the bottom

    For the price of the ice cream I kinda hope that they use the whole container. I get that we're trying to make a profit, but this is a bit much. No manchen, se pasan

The matcha w/ red bean taiyaki is good, but it doesn't need the extra flair, honestly. So tasty on its own. I'm not a huge ice cream fan, but this was really enjoyable.

It's a small shop with a few tables, but luckily, we came at a time when it wasn't too crowded. We ordered the ube and matcha swirl as well as a taiyaki with cookie butter. The cashier was quick and friendly. Total came out to $9 which is pricey in my opinion, but I thought the taste would make up for it. Ube and matcha swirl: Honestly, the ice cream was just okay. I definitely could taste the ube flavor, but the matcha flavor was weak. Additionally, the ice cream was not creamy. It was slightly icey. Somisomi's ice cream is much creamier, so I was disappointed with With Love's quality. Taiyaki with cookie butter: I really liked their taiyaki! It was crispy and slightly sweet. The cookie butter was great, but I just wish there was more filling. I do think their taiyaki is better than Somisomi's! Overall, With Love was a nice place to try for the first time, but I don't think I'll be back. I still prefer Somisomi, especially since they are actually cheaper than With Love with better quality.

My personal favorite was the honey lavender but all of them were tasty and refreshing. What I liked about all the ones we tried was that everything tasted non-artificial. Everything tasted like they used real ingredients which is much appreciated! They have a wide selection to choose from and a few new speciality flavors a month. Plenty of seating. The perfect spot for dessert!

I have been going to Moo Moo Mia for a while now and it has been one of my favorite delights when it comes to craft ice cream. They offer monthly flavors along with some more original staples and lets be honest, with summer looming, knowing a great ice cream spot is always a must. There are monthly flavors so I recommend swinging by early in the month to check out what great flavors they have cooked up. At the time of my visit, I was hooked on the Strawberry Koldski which was inspired by the Danish roots and a mix of sweet and tart Strawberry. I got a double and I simply wanted more. My go to, is the Oreo and Cream which is one of the best Cookies and Cream variants I have ever had. Everyone is super nice and you can have tastings of the different flavors until you land on one. Trust me, some flavors hit on different days! The shop is in the famous Monrovia shopping area, which adds to the allure of visiting. Parking is free and sitting and having a cup of ice cream in one of the benches is such a treat. Swing by and chill and enjoy some great ice cream! Cheers!

I tried the lychee and matcha soft serve flavors, and ended up getting the matcha flavor. Those flavors were good, the lychee and matcha were pungent. But the texture of the soft serve wasn't my favorite. The texture wasn't my favorite, it was more of an icy texture as oppose to a creamy silky texture which I would have preferred. I usually like the Oreo topping on my soft serve since it gives it a crunch, but it just didn't taste that good after a few bites. This soft serve was also a bit pricey, it was around $7 for the soft serve and topping, which was a bit disappointing since it wasn't that great. My friend also got their crunchy nut ice cream and didn't like it. I wish I liked this place more since they have Asian flavors but unfortunately it wasn't my favorite. Maybe if they improve the texture of their soft serve, I would reconsider.

I say, "what does that mean??" He said they can only make 1 of my 3 drinks and i would have to choose 2 more that are not blended. I tell him to give me a dew minutes, i then proceed to request 2 new drinks... he then tells me they are out of boba. ‍‍‍ At this point i told him to just give me 2 random drinks. I am not going to sit there all night only to be told they are out of stuff or their machines are not working. One blender? I mean if this is your bread and butter, i would suggest getting a 2nd blender, even if it's a crappy one from Walmart for $35. This is like a hamburger stand telling you they don't have a grill to make a burger. Also, out of boba on a Tuesday (off night??) Stock up. Who's doing inventory? I was more angry at the fact that they let over 30 minutes go by and didn't tell me via email or phone call that the blender was down. I would canceled my order and promptly received a refund... i hope. I wasn't offered any kind of remedy. No partial refund, no refund, no extra drinks. Just your kinda outta luck. We don't have the proper tools to make you a drink. I will never return here again. I used to like this place and even used to come here when they offered 3 drinks for the price of 2. After spending $20 on 3 drinks (2 of them not even being my choice). I will forever skip this place for the humongous disappointment and terrible service. There are boba places all around this area.
