There's even a bathroom in there for customers -- brilliant !! The variety of flavors is pretty standard, but they provide their monthly specials and some last chance ice cream flavors. I got the Daisy Chains limited edition flavor, as well as the apple cider donuts flavor from the September apple series. They both complemented each other fabulously since the Daisy Chains flavor has pink frosting and sugar cookies in a vanilla base, whereas the apple cider donuts flavor has a lot of cinnamon and some caramel adorned inside. I also have routinely skipped out on their waffle cones -- a crime because they taste superb and smell even better. It holds a surprisingly generous amount of ice cream and doesn't melt so long as you stay inside or are not in hot weather.

On Saturday, September 5th, I stopped by McConnell's Ice Creams inside Grand Central Market in the…read moreafternoon after having lunch there. And, we went to get some ice cream for dessert. My Mom ordered a single cone, which came with two scoops. She chose vanilla and another flavor that had a delicious coconut taste to it. I ordered a single cup and, after trying a few flavors, I ended up choosing the coconut-flavored one and strawberry. I don't remember the exact name of the coconut flavor, but it was really delicious! The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and the service was also excellent. We were very happy with our visit. I've also heard that McConnell's uses high-quality ingredients, and I really hope that's true because you can definitely taste the quality in the ice cream. I would definitely come back again! A little while ago, I heard that McConnell's ice cream is made with high-quality ingredients, so I bought a bunch of it from Whole Foods Market and stocked up at home.

I got the Passion Fruit Sherbet and the Earl Grey Tea & Shortbread Cookie, and both flavors were…read moredelicious. The passion fruit was refreshing, with a bright, fruity flavor that wasn't too sweet. The Earl Grey is my favorite. It has a slightly earthy, aromatic flavor, and I liked the chunks of shortbread cookie throughout. It adds a nice texture and makes the flavor feel a little more special. /// Single Scoop (split up to 2 flavors), $7.95

Saw this place near my hotel in DTLA and heard a lot of good things about it. After eating ramen, I…read morewent to grab some ice cream from here. The place is super small and no line, but the flavors were plentiful. I forget what they do, but you can get a combo of flavors in a single scoop. Cookies n cream and cookie dough are my two favorites, so I got that combo. It was super yummy. No wonder the place has so many positive reviews on Yelp!!

So an absolute eternity ago, like a decade ago, there was a Paradis in Belmont Shore in Long Beach…read more(which felt like almost as much of a trek from downtown Long Beach as DTLA is, but by bike rather than by train, so we felt a bit more of an excuse to go there and eat ice cream.) Then, an eternity ago, it closed and we were sad. Then Long Beach Creamery opened and we weren't that sad for that long, but still, I absolutely still thought about them every once in a while, sad that they'd left. Then, a much closer eternity ago (about a year ago - I've been super burned-out and not finishing my reviews), I was on my way from an event back to the blue line and walked by and noticed that they had, in fact, just moved. So obviously we had to get some. Verdict - yes, it absolutely was as good as I remembered. I wouldn't go back to DTLA just for ice cream, Long Beach Creamery being walking distance and wonderful, but I would absolutely stop here if I were back in DTLA and wanted ice cream. It's a bit pricey, but all craft ice cream is going to be, and it is definitely craft. And you can save a lot by getting a 3-scoop, which is very much enough to share for two people, if not slightly too much.

I'm a bit sad that the one in Rowland Heights closed down (albeit that was ages ago), since it was…read morethe first one that I've ever been to and my introduction to Honeymee, but whenever I'm in Little Tokyo on a super hot day and crave an icy sweet treat, this is a solid go to. There's a couple counter seats inside, but it's usually bustling and busy the weekends I can make it out to Little Tokyo, so it's something I eat while wandering outside or just walking around. My classic has always been the standard Honeymee. True milk ice cream soft serve with the honey comb. Super sweet honey and you'd think the honey comb isn't enough for that huge serving of ice cream, but you'd be surprised. The drizzle goes a long way and it's sweet enough to balance out the pure milkiness of the soft serve. Suck on the honey comb, chew through it throughout (kinda gross I know), and just spit out the waxy remnants when you're done. More than enough. Maybe one day I'll try more, but that's my nostalgic favorite.

Would definitely get the cake again but in a different flavor.

But I wanted to leave a review because the girl (I forgot to ask her name, sadly) who helped me today was really lovely! I bought 30g of their matcha and admittedly thought when they didn't give it to me at the counter that they forgot, but I sat down at a table to eat my ice cream and decided to just ask for it after I finished. Thank goodness I did, because the cashier came up to my table about 10 minutes later and handed me a little bag of fresh-ground matcha. She took a second to explain to me how to store it and keep it fresh, and I just really appreciated the extra bit of customer service, even if it's something they're maybe expected to do. When I have the money, I'll definitely come back and get their 100g pack! Highly recommend this place for any matcha lovers, whether you're looking for a drink, a sweet soft serve treat, or matcha for home use.

They don't offer much freedom with how drinks are made which is very odd for a drink shop especially costing $8-10 per drink. Cashiers are fine, but robotic especially with their constant upselling.

They have so many locations and only wish they had more. The closest to me is about 20mins away but it's worth the drive every time. I love this location especially. Always such friendly staff and never have to wait in a long line. Basically, if you're a newbie, you go in and ALWAYS as for the "seasonal flavors" for tasting. They give you tasters on silver spoons and you drop it down this hole when you're done. It's literally their culture to give you a taste of everything on their seasonal menu so don't skip out on this experience. It's the best way to try their ice cream. FUN FACT: they also have 1-2 flavors that are considered "last chance" flavors which means they are about to run out so get it before it's gone. Each month I go in to try another tasty flavor and it never disappoints but I am sometimes that girl who tries the new stuff but ends up getting her usual order (chocolate brownie) and am always happy. Just the smell of sugar cone alone when you walk in gets you hooked. The atmosphere is just so welcoming. Don't be intimidated by the many flavors to choose from because there are a lot. I like to get their double scoop in a waffle cone, but they also have awesome split scoop options for those more adventurous and want to try multiple flavors in one scoop. Saves you for when you're keeping your sugar levels down. There are usually always places to sit inside or outside so you can enjoy your goodies right away. They even have cool swag if you become a huge fan like me. If you like a little savory and sweetness in your ice cream this is the place to be.

There's always a pretty long wait, but it moves pretty quickly. The employees are efficient with taking orders and scooping ice cream. I absolutely love how Salt & Straw has a changing seasonal menu. It's so fun to see what unique flavors/themes they have for every month. I vividly remember their cereal theme, which featured different delicious cereal flavors. They have a kid's scoop, which is a smaller (and cheaper) singular scoop if you're feeling less hungry. Excited to visit again!
