Banana Foster
Serina L.

One of the best banana flavored ice creams I've had!! There were bits of caramel, banana, and Nilla (?) -- so good! This was much needed on a hot day but it was melting extremely quickly.

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!

Affogato
Bella S.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I fricking LOVE AFFOGATOS!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been craving it since I finished the cup. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super foamy espresso with ice cream, my favorite[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Jasmine W.

There's a lot of options and the price is reasonable. It's nice that you can add any ice cream to the affogato vs. it being limited to just vanilla. I did a coffee flavor with heath pieces and it was delicious!

Pina colada's

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The pina colada was on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fresh made.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm glad I stopped and get this.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Best thing I had all day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The Ice cream is made there! Only spot I know that has banana foster ice cream, which is now my favorite flavor. The employees are cool as well!

Ice cream scoops of Cookie Monster and strawberry shortcake in a medium cup. Plus a nice piña colada.

Delicious flavors. We were pleasantly surprised how yummy it was. They offered free samples and it was nice to try ice cream flavors before picking your scoops. Such a nice treat on a hot day!

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!)

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.

Milo's Minted Chip in a waffle cone. Nothing is better.

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.

My boyfriend tried the vanilla soft serve with Nutella filled Aboong. The warm fish against the cold ice cream created a great mix of textures and flavours, but once the fish is gone the ice cream itself is just ok. The taiyaki, in my humble opinion, are the winners. The Oreo taiyaki was absolutely delicious! It came out super fresh, they filled both the body AND tail with Oreo so every bite had a great ratio of chewy fish and filling. This location always fills their Taiyaki evenly which I appreciate, it's much better than the ones I've tried in Sawtelle. It's really affordable too, so definitely come try it.

The cream is a great product and cashiers had great attitudes working with constant crowds…read more Management on the other hand had a terrible attitude. The restaurant is small and tables are situated as best they can with one blocking the employee only door. The manager worker, pushing a cart told me that I was blocking this way and he needed to get him to the entrance. I proceeded to get up and allow him to move the chair where he wanted to. He told me well. I'm gonna be coming back back-and-forth as if to say don't sit back down. Another customer witnessing the exchange move the chair so that he could get in and out. When he came back out, he points to the chair and say you can sit down now. Customer service needs everything to me to include management having a responsibility to the customer that support their business. I just feel that if I were Asian, he wouldn't have addressed him in that way.

I've been here a few times over the years already, well before the matcha craze--Midori is…read moredefinitely one of the OG SoCal matcha spots. 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.

Their iced matcha drink is fantastic--it gives you a nice, elevated energy boost that feels totally different from a standard coffee high. The matcha has a very rich, deep umami taste that manages to be both refreshing and creamy at the same time. Beyond the drinks, they also have incredible matcha soft serve and a bunch of other matcha goodies to try. Prices are pretty comparable to Starbucks, but the quality and experience are on a completely different level. There is a great seating area facing the window, making it the perfect spot to sit back, enjoy your drink, and people-watch. It's an absolute must-visit if you're in Little Tokyo!

If you haven't tried Salt & Straw, my only question is do you live under a rock? It's literally the…read morebest place to try unique ice cream in LA. 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!
