My family decided that they wanted a sweet treat. So as we walked around the Original Farmer's Market and we found Local Ice. My husband and son decided to get some ice cream. As we approached we noticed that there was a wait. There were people in front of us so we had the opportunity to look at the menu. When it was our turn we were greeted by a friendly person that took our order and then started getting it ready for us. My husband got a red raspberry Italian ice with a scoop of vanilla on top. I tried it and it was good. The raspberry Italian ice was a little sour. The vanilla ice cream was good. The combination evened out the flavor. My son tried the butter beer ice cream in a cone and he enjoyed the flavor. Overall Local Ice was a good place to stop by for a cold sweet treat. The service was friendly and it had a variety of flavors you can choose from. read more

This small ice cream shop is inside the Farmers Marker. We ordered the Italian ice coconut cream . It was like eating snow! Nom nom nom lol. Smooth, creamy coconut, so delicious. It tastes better than other coconut ice cream and feels organic. Due to us asking if there are peanuts, the worker asked if it was a food allergy, then said she will go in back to make sure its untouched. Thank you so much Lily! read more

They're set up at a kiosk in the Original Farmer's Market. Really lovely service. Very knowledgeable about their product and flavors. Lots of choices, too, and you can taste anything, which is always nice. The ice cream is good, but, for me, the service was a bit more memorable. No complaints, as it was good. However, in an oversaturated market, I didn't think they stood out, flavor-wise, as much as a Jeni's or Salt & Straw. Nothing popped or made me stop and think 'Wow, they're doing something unique and different.' The problem is that their prices are even higher than those places. I appreciate the rent on those kiosks isn't cheap, but didn't feel the price was proportional to the product. read more

After all the IG ads, I finally came here and am happy I did! Great and friendly customer service, delicious high-end ice cream and Italian ice all at a reasonable price! Local Ice has been around for years and is located in the south end of the Original Farmers Market, closer to Pasta Corner, the butcher and around the corner of Michelin bakery. It is more than just an ice cream stand but a soda fountain shop, something that is pretty few and far between in Los Angeles. Not only can you get ice cream and delicious Italian ice but they also have a full coffee and espresso menu and list of sodas. Seating is ample as there are many surrounding tables that has cover or umbrellas for shade. The person who helped us was friendly and engaging. We were allowed to sample some of the flavors before ordering. My sister and her daughter ordered the cookie monster which was chockfull of cookie bits. The ice cream is high quality and creamy. It is handmade and there is no taste of any preservatives or chemicals. It's simply good quality handmade ice cream. I don't understand the comments saying that this is expensive ice cream. The prices are comparable to other artisanal ice cream shops. I ordered the watermelon ice (what I saw in an Instagram ad) and it was just PERFECT! Ice is shaved so fine that it almost has a creamy texture, but there is no dairy! I would definitely come back, especially knowing that I can order espresso without walking away. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Local Ice, thanks to Jordan! From the moment I walked up, there was a sizeable wait but I was fun watching Jordan's enthusiasm and showmanship. Our experience was no different than the person next to us. True master of his craft! Thank you Jordan! read more

Cute little ice cream stand at the market that is at The Grove! I couldn't decide so I got a cup with two different flavors - coconut and mango. Both flavors were delicious and perfectly refreshing for the hot Los Angeles weather! Expect to pay a lot for the ice cream though (it's $8 for the smallest size!) read more

I really enjoyed the handcrafted ice cream here! I tried their Cookie Monster, Strawberry, and Vanilla. My favorite would have to be the Cookie Monster. I loved the balance between the vanilla, Oreos cookies, and chocolate chips. On top of that, it was not overly sweet! It is a tad bit on the pricey side. I got a medium cup and was able to choose 3 flavors and it came out to be a little over $7. read more

If any food should be "handcrafted" it should be ice cream. The ice cream here is cold, creamy and delicious. My favorite is mint chocolate chip and their Milo's Minted Chip delivers with smooth minty flavor. Add a waffle cone and you have ice cream perfection. Soooo good. Here are some other selections.

What an amazing gem! The hand crafted ices were phenomenal and a true sensory experience. The countertops and ambiance transported us to a surreal place. Most importantly the service from Mia (the New Yorker) and Susana (the LA Native) was incredibly professional and fun. Thank you so much for an amazing experience and we can't wait to return! read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. The person who served me was so helpful and patient as I decided what to get. I tried the Italian ice and I got the small size in two flavors: raspberry and mango. Both were light and refreshing and the perfect snack I was looking for on this day. I gave this four stars because I paid $7 for a small Italian ice which was definitely on the steep side, even considering the high quality. read more

Visited the farmers market for lunch and the flavor options at Local Ice caught our eye! I had a small cup and tried the Mexican chocolate and Oreo cheesecake. My boyfriend also got a small but went with Cookie Monster and Black Raspberry. The Oreo cheesecake was a little strong on the cheesecake so I probably wouldn't get that flavor again but it was still very fresh. I'm obsessed with the Mexican chocolate! It was the perfect amount of spice. My boyfriend really enjoyed both of his flavors as well. I really don't think you can go wrong! The flavor options are awesome and you can tell they're all really fresh. read more

Local Ice is within the confines of The Original Farmers Market and well worth a stop in. If you've had lunch or dinner at the market, be sure to save space for their ice cream! Friendly employees and reasonable prices make any ice cream worth trying. Their ice cream is just beyond delicious though. I fancy myself a cool treat expert and I must have said 5x to my friend, "Dang, this is legit good." And thus I shall spread the word that this ice cream is dang, legit good status. read more

I had a combo of two different flavors in a cup, coconut and strawberry. A little pricier than most places but much healthier as all the ingredients are organic. I truly do not mind paying a little more for anything when it brings a smile to my face and this place did such a thing after one taste of their ice cream. Service was GREAT, location was clean, employees wore masks and gloves and again, organic ice cream was great. I will definitely revisit this location while visiting The Grove /Farmers Market which I do at least once per month. read more

Service is greatly lacking. One of the employees has a very bad attitude - I think she may even be the manager. We've come across her a few times. She is rude and unpleasant. It's hard to support an establishment that hires individuals that disrespect and ignore their clientele. The owners should put in a camera so they could see for themselves what is going on. It's a shame because their ice cream is delicious, but not worth the experience of being treated poorly. read more

Atmosphere: The Original Farmers Market is home to many restaurants, shops, and stands, including Local Ice. The environment is friendly, and the stand itself is neat! Service: Our server was friendly, and we had no problems with getting our ice cream.  Food: We ordered Sweet Samantha's Strawberry and Salty Sam's Caramel. We loved the strawberry, as it was fruity and not too sweet. The salted caramel was smooth and surprisingly light, but the rich caramel flavor still came through! Overall: Our ice cream was a tad pricey, though this is expected in Los Angeles. Nevertheless, Local Ice made great, refreshing ice cream, and we would recommend stopping by and getting dessert from here! read more

Bad choice at the Farmers Market. Substandard quality ice cream. When I asked for hot fudge the idiot behind the counter literally squeezed two tiny drizzles of "fudge" over my extremely expensive double scoop cup.

Local Ice - Java Josh and Cookie Monster in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This location had a long line and I was curious to see if their ice cream was any good. They're located close to Dupar's, the Louisiana food place, and the fried fruit and nuts stand, which is the end of the Farmer's Market. They offer a variety of flavors, sizes, and items to enjoy for different tastes. The people who work there were friendly and worked quickly to get orders fulfilled. (The line moved quickly and got shorter as a result.) I ordered their largest size of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream to share with family. Pricing is a bit high but I chalk that up to the fact that the Farmer's Market has always been high, due to location and it's Los Angeles. They give you a lot for your money and the consistency is smooth and creamy. Cookie dough chunks were good and they had a good number of them in the serving I got. (Sometimes you get scoops of cookie dough ice cream with 1-2 pieces of cookie dough and the rest is vanilla ice cream.) Parking options are the flat surface lot for the Farmer's Market or the structure for The Grove. If you do the latter, make sure to get validation at The Grove like Nordstrom's or Sephora. read more

Stumbled upon this place at the Farmers Market after finding out that the Donut place only accepts cash payments. I didn't have cash with me and I really wanted to get my son and I a sweet treat. Luckily, we found this place and even happier to learn that they use ORGANIC dairy milk. They even have a couple vegan options. Their menu surely will make your mouth water and will be really hard to pick between lava, banana split or good old ice cream cone.... My son had the "charming chocolate" and he loved it! He's a snob when comes to ice creams, dairy or non-dairy, and he said that their ice cream is on top of his list. I had the Cookie Monster and wow, it was delicious!! It had Oreo and Chocolate chip cookie mixed In vanilla ice cream... yum !! It was so good we had to bring the hubby / dad the next day as we're raving so much about it. We'll definitely keep coming back!! read more

I hadn't been to the Original Farmers Market since moving here and since it was hot out I stopped by Local Ice. It was the early afternoon on a Monday so the Market was pretty dead and I was the only one at the Local Ice counter. They had a bunch of options, ice cream, italian ice, shakes; I've always liked the idea of an old time-y soda fountain and Local Ice fit the bill in a lot of ways. I'm not sure when most of these premium ice cream places let you get 2 flavor choices for one scoop, but I like it. Please keep doing it, especially when the scoops are pretty dang big. I wanted something lighter so I went with their Italian Ice, watermelon and pineapple. I thought the watermelon was ok, with a flavor like watermelon it's a toss up between being natural about it or have the flavor be in your face but packed with fake stuff. Local ice did a pretty good job, with natural stuff, it didn't taste fake or syrup but the watermelon was a little weak. The pineapple though was excellent, tasting like a fresh sliced pineapple that was flash frozen and then ground into a small mountain of sweet cold, deliciousness. Maybe, I'll get a single flavor from now on. read more
