Negative 8C - Captain crunch an Oreos - Desserts Near Me - Gardena, California

I know what you're thinking. You have absolutely no idea what -8 degrees Celcius really is. Or, I guess if I'm wrong, you grew up somewhere other than America or you're like some scientist or something. Well, have no fear: the alternate name for this place is 17.6 Degrees Fahrenheit, but I guess that didn't really roll off the tongue that well. Speaking of roll, this place has roll ice cream! The flavors here are actually pretty thought-out and actually taste pretty good--even the ones that are kinda weird. Also, I consider part of the slightly high $6.50 price to be the filming of the actual process. Consider that $1 of your experience, and let's say you consider $1 as a tip, and you'll probably be a little more happy paying that much. Unlimited toppings is I guess kinda limited in a sense by the physical laws of this universe. There's only so much stuff that can fit on the cup without falling out. Overall, it's a nice little shop that is fun to stop by with some friends to enjoy some rolled ice. It makes the Pacific Square Plaza a little more fun, and I'm grateful for it. read more

This was a wonderful treat! They only pour out a cup of milk and the ice cream tasted light and really good! I love that you pay one price for one size and you can add toppings on top at no extra charge. It was cool to watch the ice cream freeze and get rolled. Totally my new favorite spot for ice cream! Also the place was very clean! So clean I could smell the cleanliness upon walking in the door, I can appreciate My sister ordered a #2 Strawberry Shawty with almonds on top & a strawberry stick, it was so good! I ordered a #3 Oreo Land with strawberries, bananas, whipped cream, & a strawberry stick and it was one of the best things I have ever tasted! read more

Warning: I wrote this review 5 months ago and just now got around to publishing it. Smh. I thought this might be a 3 star place. B-E-C-A-U-S-E I saw "Yelp consumer alert" -8C Ice Cream offered "1 free scoop for 5 star reviews" AKA bribery. I'm lol'ing because this place didn't need to "bribe" customers for a 5 star review. The ice cream itself is actually pretty good! Perhaps, the bribery was unintentional and could have been avoided? I love the texture, except once when my rolls were too hard and sort of stale (don't even know how thats possible). Strawberry Shawty (#2) Actually taste just like strawberry shortcake! It's filling, yummy, soft and flavorful. Plus there's graham crackers smushed in their! Safe bet. Oreo Land (#3) Oreo aggressively chopped into vanilla ice cream, we added strawberries inside and almonds on top, stellar sweet choice! Especially for the oreo enthusiast. Coffee Paradise (#8) Can't go wrong with this if your a coffee lover. Coffee flavored ice cream as a base, with chocolate and caramel syrup. Cap'n Crunch (#10) Taste just like the left over milk the cereals been sitting in! Hit with the kids! Key Lime (#11) Did NOT taste like key lime AT ALL. More like vanilla with graham cracker. It was alright but if this was the first flavor I tried, I would NOT be back. Definitely needs more lime, like A TREE FULL OF LIMES. I hope -8 eventually nails this flavor, I love key lime. L.A Group (#12 )The Avocado Lime is full bodied! I love this flavor! The avocado is light, not overwhelming. They use vanilla ice cream, mash fresh avocado, squeeze lime I got additional graham crackers mashed in the making. Unlimited toppings free of charge, makes this place pretty cool. .50 charge if you want an additional item mixed in that is not originally mentioned. $15 minimum charge for using card. Plenty of parking in lot. Usually long lines out the door, especially on weekends, like your trying to get into a club in Hollywood, not an ice cream shop in Gardena. LOL. The blue counter lights reassure the whole club feeling. The loud music makes it impossible to hear your homies, would be nice if they turned the volume down a bit, B-U-T perhaps its just to distract you from the sound of the ice cream being hammered lol. read more

Novelty... It was a warm afternoon and we wanted to try some new ice cream places after the kids basketball game. We ventured into this store and immediately were greeted with a visual display of the two workers crafting the ice cream rolls on an ice cold metal platter. We ordered an ice cream roll and waited about 5-10 minutes for them to prepare the ice cream. This was reasonable since there was a line ahead of us and i knew this was a painstaking process. The setup of where you ordered and where you picked up didn't seem to be well thought out. The flow of the store didn't make sense. That was the least of my concern, since i wanted to taste the ice cream. The cost of the ice cream was $8.50 and you are welcome to add as many toppings as you want. We added and assortment of additional toppings which was much appreciated, but for the cost of the ice cream rolls it made sense. The taste of the ice cream was nothing special. It lacked the richness of Häagen-Dazs or the cool flavors of Ben and Jerry's. The ice cream was a bit neutral to be honest. Doubt I'll be back here again. read more

Definitely a winner! I've been watching "rolled ice cream" videos on Instagram and finally found a spot. I got the Fruity Pebbles rolled Ice cream, my boyfriend got the Strawberry Shawty (strawberry & graham cracker) assuming it would just be mixed with the cereal and vanilla ice cream, there was more!! They give you like complimentary toppings of your choice (i.e fruit, cookies, syrup) to top it off, before they hand it over to you. It was a nice size (one size) and great taste every bite.

This is my ultimate favorite ice cream of ALL time. I used to live near by and come every weekend, now I am still making the 30 mini drive to get my fix.

ROLLED ICE CREAM, THE NEW HYPE. Visiting different rolled ice cream places, ranging from around the Bay Area to SoCal, this place is decent and will satisfy your cravings. The UNLIMITED toppings is great, as some rolled ice cream places limit you and charge extra. Their Thai tea was pretty good. +Staff was friendly +Parking is easy, located in a plaza with a big lot. What I didn't like about this place was the card minimum. I hate it when places do that, but hey if you're craving ice cream and don't have enough cash, you have to sacrifice upgrading or keep adding on to meet the minimum. read more

After trying rolled ice cream in OC, I was in the mood for it again, but I was no where near the place I first had rolled ice cream. No worries tho, -8 popped up on my Yelp search! Knowing it's in Gardena too, you can't go wrong. I was a bit disappointed with the selection of flavors. This place seemed a lot more Americanized then the other rolled ice cream place we went to. The flavors here didn't seem as exciting, however there were more reviews here so I guess I might of been expecting more. I also got excited when I saw they had nutella (chocolate monkey) flavor. I first wanted to go with that one but the banana really turned me off. I tried asking for it without the banana but then I guess it turns out it would just be vanilla ice cream with only nutella on top. *Yawn* I ended up going with the Horchata flavor. This was quite interesting. It almost felt like an ice cream cinnamonroll because there was lots & i mean LOTS of cinnamon that was covered on one side when they rolled it up. There was so much to where it was over powering & I was taking huge bites of cinnamon. I couldn't even finish it all because the cinnamon was too much in parts of it. The boyfriend got the Strawberry Shawty which I think he liked. I would come back here but I wouldn't go out of my way, I wish they would improve the flavors. read more

What a find! After dinner last night, we searched for desserts nearby and boom, this ice cream place popped up and boy were we happy we found it. This place was a great find and we were so very happy after we tasted their desserts. We order 3 different kinds. My daughter got the fruity pebbles, my other daughter got the taro and hubby and I shared the mango-go! All 3 were delicious! The fruity pebbles in that rolled up ice cream was absolutely delicious and the taro, you can really taste the taro as if you were eating the actual taro. Our mango was so good, we finished our cup before getting home, it was seriously that good! Why haven't we found this place? We are always in the area and never had the chance to try. They are located next to Tokyo Central in the same plaza as Newport Chinese dim sum. They are in the corner next to sweet rice. The best part is that their toppings are free and they had a pretty good selection. From fruits to sweet treats, our kids truly enjoyed their desserts and we will definitely be back again and again! Service was friendly, they were helpful with our orders and they were very considerate over anyone with allergies which is great bc my daughter is allergic to peanuts. Plenty of parking in the lot and they are open late. Besides the rolled up ice cream, they also offer macaroons with ice cream. This place is a must try, I highly recommend it! read more

Popped in over the weekend to get a cold ice cream treat for the kiddo and I. -8 is located within the same shopping plaza that houses a Tokyo Central market. We stumbled upon this place after doing a Yelp search for ice cream after spending a fun afternoon at the nearby Splash Pad in Lawndale. Walking in, I was happily surprised that this place serves rolled ice cream. Thai rolled ice cream, to be specific. They have a menu board of about 11 flavors - from the expected Oreo and Strawberry to more exotic like Thai tea and Avocado. I decided to get the Mango Go for the kidlet and I to share. You place your order and then wait until they call your number. Once your number is called, go to the pickup side and then tell the employee what toppings you'd like. You can pick as many and as much as you'd like as long as it fits in the cup. They have an assortment of toppings that include whipped cream, fresh fruit, sprinkles, Hello Panda cookies, rolled cookies, graham crackers, coconut flakes, chocolate sauce, condensed milk, nuts, Pocky, and more. I am assuming the price point is higher due to their unlimited toppings. I believe my Mango Go came out to $7 and change. My Mango Go was ordered with fresh mango, coconut, whipped cream, and a rolled cookie. It was very pretty and tasted so fresh and fruity! The fresh mango and coconut really complimented the creamy rolled IC. I would def come back whenever I'm in the area. Rolled ice cream FTW! read more

$7 for a serving of Ice Cream here that is unique and decently sized (2-3 can share for a nibble or 1 can indulge for a meal) portion. The process seems labor intensive, but is made fresh to order and is a bit of a show to witness too. It's that part where if there's a long line, that causes the delays and wait. We went on a Friday before 7pm and it was empty, just walked up and got served. We heard legends of how it can be crowded to wait 30-60 mins which seems crazy if you can plan to avoid that. I'd recommend trying this place if you've not come her or are curious. They have a frequent buyer customer stamp rewards card too. Parking is easy, it shares the same lot as Tea Station, Tokyo Central, Book Off, Carrows and Sea Empress. read more

This heat wave has me craving ice cream every day. Friday night was unbearable and I was in the South Bay so I stopped by -8c. I ordered the horchata ice cream-it tasted nothing like horchata-in the bowl with toppings. The boba toppings were a little strange (they were basically white beads with a fruity flavor that dissolved very quickly). The texture was nothing like the boba from milk tea. I also ordered mochi toppings and the mochi was basically sugar coated gum drops. I expected the Japanese ice cream cakes but instead received gum drops. The service was also really slow and the employees are a bit disorganized. I don't think I'd return. read more

My new favorite style of ice cream! Thai rolled ice cream is not as sweet nor rich as some modern ice cream shops. The flavors are basic and toppings not unlike other shops. It is very interesting to watch them make it on front of your eyes. The wait was extensive (around 45 minutes) so don't come here if you're in a hurry. The quality is worth the wait and a reasonable price compared to other modern ice cream shops. Patience is a virtue is what they say! And just for your edification, I wrote this review a few days after partaking of the ice cream and therefor did not receive any gratuity for my review. read more

The aesthetics in this place was adorable! We came on a Tuesday night and it was empty, plenty of parking in the lot. I got the chocolate monkey with Nutella and banana and it was delicious. I wasn't too sure of how it all worked, but after they rolled my ice cream they called me and asked what toppings I wanted. I asked how many I can get and he said as many that can fit in the cup. I didn't even know what to get! I ended up with just mochi and strawberries. I probably should have gotten a sauce on top but it's okay, maybe it would have been too much. The service was quick, but I was also the only one there. FYI if the total is under $20 then they can't take credit card. Delicious though! I wouldn't mind stopping by here again sometime. read more

Lack of organization - shouldn't take almost an hour after we placed our order to get our ice cream. Somehow our order got out of order? Only one of our orders was made. The other two were shuffled to the back and forgotten forever.. until my husband went up to the cashier to inquire. Red matcha, strawberry shawty with unlimited toppings were both very tasty. Portions were actually much bigger than expected. But honestly what ice cream is worth an hour wait? Rolled or scooped - ice cream is ice cream. read more

For you chemistry nerds, -8 degrees Celsius = 265.15 Kelvin Also, for Americans who say eff the metric system, -8 degrees Celsius = 17.6 degrees Fahrenheit. "Rolled" in here with the fam squad after dinner at Burnt Tortilla. It was kind of chilly that evening, but surprisingly, there were still a lot of people there. I really like the concept and the entertainment of watching the workers slicin and dicin their way to constructing this ice cream, but it is very time consuming. There were about 10 people in line ahead of us, and we ended up waiting about 25 minutes before getting our ice cream. Not sure if I wanna wait that long again for rolled ice cream, but hey it must be good right? It was solid. I got the Oreo Land, and it was a lot thicker and creamier than I expected, which I really enjoyed. I also like how the ice cream stays super cold and doesn't melt. Liquid nitrogen ftw. Portions are huge; even a small can be shared with two people. Hopefully, the line won't be as long the next time I visit, but I expect this place to be packed especially during the summer. read more

The line can get pretty long but other than that I appreciate you can do unlimited toppings. I tried the Thai tea ice cream with condensed milk, mango, mochi, and capt crunch. They have a new combo called fruity pebbles which sounded good and I wanted to try the captain crunch. Right now through aug 15? (Not sure, but it's 20% off). Came out to 6$. Be sure to ask for a stamp card because I'll definitely be back soon. I saw something about a Yelp review for a free scoop. I like how they capitalized on the idea of rolled ice cream, but I haven't seen a place that does it in the area. And they're open pretty late which is nice. read more

The ice cream is excellent and very unique!!! I would love to give this place 5 stars, but I just can't when service isn't good. Why is this place so amazing. Let's face it, rolled ice cream is unique and creative. It was fun to watch them make it from scratch (mostly liquid form and fresh fruit) to a beautifully rolled dessert. The people making the ice cream were working hard which is always nice to see. As far as the toppings go, you can have unlimited as long as they fit in the cup. I tried about 5 different ones and everything was fresh. Now, the reason behind the lower star rating. When I walked in, there was no line, just a few people standing around watching their dessert being made. I clearly walked up to the front and waited to be helped. I don't mind if all employees are busy, I understand they will help me when they can. However, when a customer is at the counter and the employee walks to the register and instead of helping you, picks up their phone and starts texting and laughing, it is very rude. I had to ask her if she can help me. She looked up and said oh yes of course, what would you like. I told her it was my first time here and I wanted to know how it worked. Her answers were quick like she didn't want to take my order. Of course once I paid, she went right back onto her phone. Really??? With a line of customers behind me now. Wow. Funny enough the people who ordered after me had their dessert ready 1st. Interesting considering we ordered the exact same thing. While they chose their toppings (they put toppings on for 1 person at a time), my ice cream sat on the counter melting. :( Once I chose my toppings, I looked up as I grabbed my ice cream to go and saw they cashier girl back on her cell phone (this time hiding behind a wall so customers in line couldn't see but anyone walking in the door could). It's sad because this could easily have been one of my new favorite dessert places. Customer service is just as important as the quality of the food. read more

I had what is referred to as the chocolate monkey. It was yummy and I ate it all, even though it's enough ice cream for 2-3 people. There's only one price, it costs $6.50. What makes it worth it is you can have them add unlimited toppings. I had an assortment of fruit, nuts, coconut, and sprinkles on mine. I like the the whole vibe of the place. They have an inviting seating area. What throws you off is that the pickup area is near the front door so you think there are a lot of people waiting to order, but that area is around the corner. It is an interactive experience because you can watch as they melt and re-freeze your ice cream on their platform area. The staff are young, quick, and very polite. Their business card also acts a frequent buyer card that they stamp a little black bird upon. I like this place. read more

Takes foreeeevvverrrr when there's a line but when there's no line, it's chilly in here! I shared with my friend because the size is huge. We got the thai tea topped with banana and captain crunch. The texture of the ice cream was great: hard, like liquid nitrogen ice cream, but it melted quickly enough in your mouth. The thai tea flavor was strong but not overbearing. One note: the restroom is absolutely disgusting. No seat covers, no toilet paper, and water all over the floor. I came back out because I saw that a worker was waiting to get in to clean it, so I went back in after she finished up in there. Um, it was as if she just dumped a bucket of water on the toilet, because it was dripping wet (now we know where the water on the floor comes from), and there were no paper towels or toilet paper to wipe it off. It makes me wonder about how clean the kitchen is. read more

Rolled ice cream has become a big hit since I first seen it at the OC night Market a couple years ago. The concept is very cool and the ice cream is actually pretty good. The place gets busy and can have a wait. There is a cool atmosphere with music playing and the place has some tall chairs and even a small couch section and regular tables. You get to watch the workers mix and roll your ice cream and wonder how many rolls they make each day. It is a bit labor intensive to create each ice cream so enjoy the fruits of their labor. What's makes this rolled ice cream a bit different than the others is that you are able to choose your toppings with no extra charge. Cost is $6.50 but you do get a lot. Gave 4* but an extra * for the unlimited toppings. Located in the Pacific Square plaza with ample parking. read more

Delicious! I was looking for a dessert place after dinner. My normal go to is boba or 85 Degrees, but ice cream seemed liked a more inciting choice. Yelp located me to -8 Ice Cream. This location is in the Pacific Square shopping center (location with other stores like Tea Station, Oko, etc.). There is plenty of parking to go around. The location is nestled in a small corner and I almost missed it except for the line of people out the door. I came on a Sunday night and it was pretty packed. For those who have not been here, they have roll ice cream, where they roll up your ice cream (you can choose the flavors) and they put toppings. It is a little on the pricey (as expected from the gourmet ice cream store) at $6.50 per cup, but the unlimited toppings they have (various fruits, cookies, etc) makes it worth it. It is also a pretty decent size, so it is enough to share. I decided on the Oreo flavor ice cream and various toppings (mango, strawberry, Oreo, graham crackers, condensed milk, and strawberry wafers). The cool thing is you can watch them make your ice cream right in front of you. I thought that the ice cream was amazing. The ice cream itself was so creamy and delicious, the fruits were fresh, and the cookies were crunchy. It was a great post dinner dessert. Although I did like the ice cream, I thought that the line was chaotic. The pick up area overlapped with the cash register area. So, a lot of us were confused on which line was which. This would normally be OK when it is not crazy busy, but on the night that I went, it was just chaotic. Also, the toppings are placed on when you pick up the ice cream, so there was more of a chaos in the pick up area. (It also did not help that some people did not know what toppings to place, so the lines kept creeping longer). There definitely needs to be a little more organization especially as I envision this place bring more crowded as the weather heats up. Overall, a solid 5 for the ice cream due to the taste and price, but 1/2 star off for the chaos around the ordering and pick up. read more

When I first heard of this spot I had to check it out. Yes, it is located near my favorite Sanrio Surprises but no that is not the reason why I wanted to go here ;). I wanted to try this spot because they specialize in rolled ice cream. It's neat new concept that is popular in Asia but has just recently made it here to the US. The way it works is liquid ice cream is poured onto a cold metal pan and is instantly gets frozen there. I had a lot of fun watching my rolled ice cream get made. The guys working here do a great job. Its neat to see how they flatten out the ice cream, add the toppings and slowly scrape into the ice cream rolls. Once your ice cream rolls are put into a cup, they'll add on as many toppings as you want! I got the Peanut Butter Jealous and topped it with mangos, graham crackers and oreos. It was one delightful and huge ice cream dessert. I liked it a lot and found it to be a pretty good deal especially since they gave me 20% off (special promo for their grand opening in January). I can definitely see why rolled ice cream is making waves in the US. It's fun and unique. I'm happy to see we have a local place specializing in this. read more

I'm happy to say that we finally have a rolled ice cream place in the South Bay! After all this time, I haven't even tried rolled ice cream since I never wanted to make the trip out to Rowland/Hacienda Heights to try it. This place opened up about a month ago and it's been busy ever since. I tried going a couple times, but the line was too long on my first two visits. I eventually went later on a weeknight and there was no line to my surprise. // ICE CREAM// Strawberry Shawty: Strawberries and graham cracker. Simple yet delicious. I love how you're able to put as many topping as you want (as long as it fits in the cup). I topped mine with fresh strawberries, bananas, condensed milk, and a couple chocolate wafers. I'm not really sure what to say. It's nothing magical since it's just ice cream that's served in a roll. I can also see why people go crazy over this since you're able to see them make it right in front of you. List of toppings: Fresh strawberries, bananas, kiwi, mango, several types of cereal, Oreos, nuts, Nutella, condensed milk, wafers. Overall, it's a neat way to serve ice cream, but it's nothing out of this world. I find the taste similar to Creamistry. It's definitely a nice place to check out or grab some dessert. All rolled ice cream is $7 with unlimited toppings so it's reasonably priced. read more

Fun dessert - totally IG and date worthy! They have a lot of fun flavors, we tried a Thai Tea and Strawberry with Graham Cracker.

Finally, an ice cream store in the Pacific Square plaza. And this one is surely very unique! Once you place your order, they will start making it for you. An amazing part is, you can actually see your order being prepared behind the glass barrier. When it is completed, they will call your number for you to pick it up at the pick-up counter which is located near the entrance. Before picking it up, you can also request them to put some toppings (unlimited) on your ice cream as long as there are enough space on top of your ice cream. The price seems a bit on the high side, but one order has enough to be shared by two so it may not be too expensive after-all. There are also regular scoops of ice creams available for those who prefers a standard one. Your wait time after placing your order can be long as they need some time to prepare your order and it may also depend on the number of orders placed in front of yours; however, the time which they take to diligently creating your order and the availability of unlimited topping(s) will surely make you smile when you receive your order. By the way, it is much faster than waiting at the DMV or your favorite post office. read more

Well, I was so super excited to try this place out, but it didn't meet my expectations. Maybe if I return and find a suitable flavor, I would increase the rating. This Ice Cream place is located just past Tokyo Central in the Pacific Square Plaza. I walked right by it and found it on the way back. Plenty of parking is available. Since this place hasn't been open very long, they are still giving 20% off for the Grand Opening. When my hubby & I walked in, we were the next to order and get our ice cream. I ordered the Mango Go. I watched the guy turn the liquid mix into ice cream rolls. It was cool! Then, you get to add unlimited toppings for free, which is great. I would've had more added, but the fruit was just spilling off the top. ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/8-ice-cream-gardena?select=BM4eL9XkT2Cp7hUHeJnvOA ) I would not get the Mango Go again, it was rather flavorless and the fruit they used froze up too much during the freezing process and didn't taste good. While we were sitting there eating our ice cream, an employee came out with a sample of a Coffee Ice Cream they were testing. It may or may not appear in the menu eventually. It was really good! Hubby said it tasted like a Cappuccino and I said it tasted like a Vietnamese Coffee. If you plan on returning frequently (or not), they do have a stamp card. After 10 stamps, you get a free ice cream. Also, if you leave a 5 Star Yelp Review, you get a free scoop of ice cream. I cannot be bribed... they have to earn my 5 stars. After having rolled ice cream at another spot, this didn't even hold a candle to the other place. I will give them another shot after they've been open a while longer and choose another flavor. read more
