My friends wanted to try this spot, and since we happened to be in the area, we stopped by. It's a small shop that I've always passed on the way to the beach. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There isn't much space to sit and enjoy your treats inside, but for a quick stop, it works fine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was straightforward and efficient. Nothing particularly memorable, but the staff handled orders quickly and without issue. I ordered the Asian Rocky Road and the Mango Sticky Rice flavors. Both were enjoyable -- well-made and flavorful -- but I found the prices a bit high for what you get. The flavors are interesting and unique, so it's worth stopping by at least once to try something new. I might return to try a few other flavors, but I wouldn't see myself coming back regularly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, a solid quick dessert stop. Flavors are good and unique, service is efficient, and the shop has a clean, casual vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just be prepared for the higher price point if you're sampling a few items. read more

Lavender and Truffles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is such a cute store and the workers were so kind![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Really makes getting ice cream 5x better when the workers are angels. My coworkers and I sampled a bunch of flavors and all 5 of us ended up choosing different ones (that's when you know this spot's good!). I tried the passionfruit, matcha, ube, pistachio, and mango sticky rice and all were amazing in their own way but I loved the pistachio the most because it was the creamiest. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's super cute in the back seating area also.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly HIGHLY recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is adorable and they sell a number of aestheticslly pleasing ice creams and sorbet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For a second, they do look like candles lol, so watch out ~ They offer quite a bit of flavors and we were able to sample them. We ended up getting a three scoop with the chocolate hazelnut, yuzu sorbet and a third unique flavor that gave a lot of oomph into our ice creams. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is quaint and worth a try ~[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My friend luckily found this spot by hearing about their popup collab with matchawell (we love to see small business supporting each other!) I quickly learned Lavender & Truffles is a plant-based shop, so I was impressed to try such delicious flavors of a few of their ice creams knowing they were made with oat milk. I desperately wanted to try their coconut milk-based matcha soft-serve, but the miso butterscotch was calling my name~ The ice cream itself was very soft and not overly sweet. This particular flavor also tasted a lot like coconut which I looooved. A single was around $9.75 incuding tip, which is pretty steep but at least they gave more than I thought. I defs plan on returning to try their ube, which is my fav flavor of all time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, the vibe here was very chill and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owner of matchawell gave us samples of their amazing black sesame matcha and their lavender matcha brews, both of which were incredibly smooth (go buy a tin on their online shop!) Someone also made us complimentary crepes with matcha and vanilla bean cremes :O Top notch service right here. Lastly, parking in this area is a pain and you're lucky if you find a spot right out front (mostly street tho). read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Delicious vegan ice cream in a sweet little Venice Beach shop with a beautifully decorated private space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got Metamorphosis (butterfly pea flower, coconut, dark chocolate) and Pistachio Cream, both looked and tasted amazing! The owner was so nice and attentive. Can't wait to go back and try all the unique flavors! **Coconut milk based, dairy free, gluten free, oat milk based, organic, plant based, sorbet, soy free, vegan friendly!** read more

Came in here on a Friday evening and the woman working was super nice and gave me samples of all the flavors. They rotate on a weekly basis, so I definitely want to come back for mango sticky rice & yuzu! I got the Asian rocky road (had mochi instead of marshmallows) & tahini. Flavors were unique and was good esp. for oat milk based / vegan ice cream! read more

Lavender and Truffles - Tahini & rocky road - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

You know when something is so good you almost don't want to tell anyone because you want to keep it all to yourself? That's Lavender & Truffles. But gatekeeping joy is not the vibe, so let's talk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is an actual dream. Tucked away in Venice, it's a minimalist, softly-lit sanctuary that feels like it was designed by someone who knows both ice cream and interior aesthetics deserve equal reverence.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Think vintage Parisian café meets modern-day skincare lab--if oat milk was a lifestyle (which, here, it is). Now for the real reason you're here: the ice cream. It's all dairy-free and based in oat milk--but trust me, you'd never know. It's ultra-luxurious, deeply flavorful, and unapologetically original. The soft serve alone is worth writing home about--available only on weekends and rotating flavors like Metamorphosis (a cult favorite for a reason) that will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about dessert. But the real treasure trove? The pints. Rows upon rows of elegant, artfully labeled flavors like Miso Butterscotch, Strawberry Étoile, Salted Chocolate, Festival of Ube, Lychee Rose, and the most unexpectedly addictive Sumac Roasted Strawberry. It's like walking through a gallery of edible poetry. Every flavor is layered, thoughtful, and transporting. There's no filler here--just genuine craftsmanship and real-deal ingredients that sing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And did I mention how ridiculously cute the shop is? Pale pink tile floors, sculptural lighting, vintage glassware, and curated touches that make it feel like you're in on a well-kept secret.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even the boxes the pints come in are chic enough to keep forever. Bottom line: Lavender & Truffles isn't just a dessert stop--it's an experience. It's where flavor meets finesse, and every visit feels like a little love letter to your taste buds. read more

The flavors just didn't hit the mark, and I found it to be overpriced for what you're getting. Even something as simple as the soft serve vanilla ice cream wasn't up to par. It seemed like they were trying to stand out from other ice cream spots, but it didn't quite work for me. I tried the mango sticky rice, and despite giving it a chance, I just couldn't get into it. Stella Jean's ice cream has a far better version of this flavor. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this spot to anyone. read more

Have been wanting to try the soft serve but it was very lackluster. The rating is more based off the service, there was no greeting and then very awkward like i was the one asking to try something it wasn't offered and then also when going to pay I was just standing there waiting there was never any acknowledgement. read more

Lavender and Truffles - Matcha soft serve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is a dream as I'm lactose intolerant. I've always loved ice cream, but regular dairy based ice cream doesn't love me. I normally stick to traditional ice cream flavors, but their exotic flavors have me hooked! I was in town visiting family and came here 2 days in a row because it was that AMAZING! I had their miso butterscotch, asian rocky road, Ube soft serve, and mango sticky rice. I'm obsessed with ALL of them! I taste tested some of their other flavors too and was impressed. I really wish I lived nearby, so I could grab some weekly, though that might be dangerous haha! On their website it says they do ship their ice cream anywhere in the U.S., so I will just have to order some now and then. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is also really pretty and there's a comfy lounge in the back where customers can go and unwind and enjoy their ice cream.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a one-of-a-kind ice cream shop![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is AMAZING ! Ice cream is my Achilles heel, and honestly the usuals don't cut it (Salt & Straw - meh, bla bla bla ) but this place was such a delicious surprise ! Loved the UBE. The owner is just lovely, and it's a pop up from New York. Really hope she gets good summer foot traffic so she actually sets up permanent shop !! YUM read more

This place sucks so bad. I was eager to try it because I figured it must be amazing if the owner had the audacity to open up so close to another ice cream shop. I went with friends and we all tried different flavors...we were all sadly disappointed. Not good, over priced and the Asian lady was very unpleasant. Not at all the attitude you should have towards customers. No gratitude, not even a thank you...and we all tipped! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is small and cramped with no seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It appears not much thought was put into it at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Awfully sad experience. I do not recommend this place. read more

I'd like to rate the ice cream here, but unfortunately, the server behind the counter refused to acknowledge us :/ She spent the entire time we were there just chatting to one person in front of us, and didn't look at or greet our party at all. She didn't she offer us any samples either, which sadly means I cannot comment on the taste of their ice cream. On the basis of service alone, I would say 0/10, I cannot not recommend :( read more

Plant based vegan gluten free ice cream!!! How does it taste you might ask?? Its amazing, creamy, naturally sweet and unique delicious flavor combinations. We ordered mango sticky rice, ube soft serve and rocky road. The ube soft serve was to die for, so smooth creamy and melt in your mouth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They just opened a store front in Venice beach that has an adorable asian inspired lounge in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a must try spot read more

I was completely ignored when I went with my friends. Was not acknowledged at all. I wanted to order something and was never serviced. Will never come here to visit ever again read more

The soft serve is incredible! So fluffy and creamy. They rotate flavors so there's always a reason for me to come back. The owner makes it herself, with her own recipes too. The people that work there are so friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place overall is so beautiful and such a zen vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was even told about a dessert den where they do events. Can't wait to see what they come up with. Will be returning regularly. read more
