I really enjoyed this spot! From the moment I walked in, I could see how much care they put into maintaining their establishment here. It was so clean! I ordered a chocolate milkshake and the service was awesome! I remember the employee scooping up the chocolate ice cream and dropping the scoops in a blender. It interested me and made me wonder what all the other ingredients were in this amazing beverage that I finished in less than 10 minutes! It was all topped with whipped cream and certainly brightened my day! I am excited to go back to try something else! read more

I can't believe I forgot to review this place. I saw the picture of pepinos locos on the sign and I had to try. I'd never have it before so I just told them to put everything. I'd probably tell them not to put the string candies next time but I'm glad I tried it. My favorite bites had the Japanese peanuts. We also tried the sandwiches, ham and Cecina. The strawberries and cream agua fresca was also delicious. They also have a good selection of ice cream. We left so stuffed. This place would be absolutely refreshing on a hot day. I saw a couple eating Sandia loca and I can't wait to come back and try that. read more

Delicious paletas made with fresh ingredients and traditional Oaxacan flavors. Our family loved the fruit and chili paletas and were impressed with the chunks of fresh fruit. The strawberry paleta stole the show and I was especially pleased that it wasn't overly sweet. We will definitely be returning the next time we visit Santa Monica! read more

Great Mexican antojitos spot! The ambience is very welcoming. Very clean. The service is excellent. They go above and beyond to accommodate your pallet taste buds preferences. I was craving tostilocos which is tipically made w/a bag of tostillcos (round seasoned tortilla chips), cueritos (sliced picked pig skin, trust it's tangy & yummy) diced cucumber & jicama, Japanese peanuts (cacahuate japonés) and small bits of tamarind candies which I don't like in my tostilocos so I omit and everything is drizzled in chamoy, lemon juice, super yummy! I opted for hot Cheetos instead of tortilla chips. Bomb! Craving was satisfied! The Icecream is delicious. Love the bunch of different flavors. I ordered a ham sandwich for my coworker and super delish. Definitely my to go spot when craving a Mexican antojito. Only downfall is they have no public restrooms. read more

Pros: ice cream, location. I had tried the paleta a while ago and it wasn't my favorite but I decided to give the ice cream a try. The workers are friendly and they have a good variety of paletas, Aguas, ice cream, and snacks. The workers were very friendly and allowed us to try different flavors. I got a small ice cream (~$5.50) and combined the gansito and blackberry flavors. The ice cream texture is creamy and not too sweet which I loved. The small cup was a great serving and I look forward to coming back to try new flavors. read more

Amazing authentic Oaxacan deserts!! Plus the staff of all very sweet! I've been to oaxaca and it really feels like I'm eating ice cream straight from the motherland! Plus on the day I went they had Tejate which is a Oaxacan delicacy, so you already know I HAD to get it! It's considered the drink of the gods in Oaxaca pre Hispanic times It's like a masa drink so it's a very filling beverage! If they have it! TRY IT! read more

Finally! A AUTHENTICLY MEXICAN ice cream parlor over on this side Santa Monica! The milk base and water ice cream is delicious! They have Mexican candy, and chips for sale. Think about this as a bistro. This is not a place you come for coffee. This is a place where your inner child can have amazing fruity desserts! The milkshake and smoothies are 100% natural and for half the price of the healthy juice chains around. Ambience- Very clean. Seating available. Latino radio is playing, which is nice. Well lit. NON LATINOS: If you're well traveled, this sweet and flavorful pallet should be no big deal. If you're "non-gmo" "gluten free" you will struggle so stick to the Smoothies and Agua Frescas. COME AN OPEN MIND. Some items do have cheese or dairy, so come prepared or double check before ordering. "Quesillo" is Oaxaca cheese, a Mexican delicacy! AND THEY HAVE AN "A" health score!!! read more

For starters the ice cream is really good, but the service here is so terrible. The ice cream was so good that my friend wanted to order a large amount for an event he was having, he asked one of the employees who happened to be the owner and he was extremely nice and ready to put a same day order when his wife came and started yelling at him that he couldn't do that. She said the order had to be days in advance and she was just so extremely rude. Their dynamic is so weird, he looks like he's scared of her and it was just such an extremely awkward situation!! When she left, her husband apologized and told my friend he'd give him his card so he could contact him for future events, which was kind of him but the experience was so uncomfortable! read more

I tried this place -- directly across from the brand-new Target -- for the first time tonight, and all I can say is: this spot is SUPER AWESOME AND DELICIOUS AND RAD! I'd walked by several times since it opened a few months ago, but hadn't ventured inside yet. Tonight it was pretty warm outside, and the thought of some cool ice cream sounded legit, so I went for it. Inside I found a bright, immaculate, welcoming, Oaxacan-style ice cream parlor/fresh juice bar, which also serves food, including traditional sandwiches and Oaxacan-style snacks. A massive array of ice cream flavors were displayed in freezer cases directly ahead as I walked in. The ice cream looked super classy and homemade, exactly like the gelato you'd see in an Italian ice cream parlor. Next to the ice cream case was a massive case of "paletas" (popsicles), in every imaginable flavor. I ordered one scoop of the coffee ice cream in a standard wafer cone, and it was delicious! While I was there, I watched several different people from all walks of life come in to order as well, and all left happy and refreshed on this warm West L.A. evening. I highly recommend this place to everyone on the Westside who finds themselves in need of some refreshment, and I plan to come back here regularly! read more

Either the one in the picture was an understated version, or I am really just blind- as what I got was insanely awesome! Besides the typical stuff normally found in a Mangoneada, this one had chunks of candied Tamarindo, chili strawberry gummy stringy things, and a tamarind straw (like a Boba straw but slathered in MORE candied Tamarindo I would have photographed it first but I didn't want to delay my enjoyment any further.

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 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!

I would give it zero stars if i could one lady who served me had a very bad attitude . I got a small vanilla cone for my 3 year old son he had trued soccer shoes next door so he hd his shoes off and set them on the table . She yelled at me to remove them which i did . Anyways dont they dont disinfect the tables after each use regardless plua they were sitting on top of a bag not even on the table . She handed the ice cream i asked for a cup also in case gets tired of holding the cone she gave a disgusted look and handed me very small drinking cup that couldnt even hold the cone . I said can i please have an ice cream cup ? She reluctantly gave me the cup then i asked for a spoon ! Again she like rolled her eyes and gave me a spoon . Later i had to come up to ask for a napkin . I mean just basic things . She rudely told me they were in a dispenser behind me . Ok then i grabbed one . My 3 year old son was ready to leave and was darting towards the door i got and rushed out after him considering its a busy street. As im walking out she yelled at me to throw away my trash in the trash can !! All it was was the empty cup he never used . Im usually mindful to help clean up but my son was leaving and didnt think it was the proper way to treat a customer . She yelled at me hey the trash can is over there! I was like what ? Shes like ya clean up your trash !! Im not gona risk throwin a cup into the trash and let my 3 year old run outside alone . So i had to pick up my son bring him inside and then throw away this empty cup on the table . I asked for her name she said it was her privacy and she was gona tell me . I mean she is an employee there and none of them had name tags i said you work here so its not really private . Eventually some man came out saying he was " sort of " the manager and i talked to him . The whole experience was very awful and I would never go back . I just happen to be in the area at the soccer store next door but the customer service needless to say was horrific ! I just wanted a simple ice cream for my so.

Today was perhaps an off day? Hope so. Hubby wanted a Cappuccino flavored yogurt. TCBY makes one but I was at Penguin's. Perhaps what he really wanted was not fro-yo but gourmet ice cream or gelato, transformed to traditional affogato with a vanilla variety of either as a base, or what I frequently serve for dessert - Scotch, Espresso & Vanilla Affogato. (DM me for the recipe, it's SO easy!) Because I am a good wife, I settled for one small chocolate brownie and one small low-fat vanilla. My attempt to fake his requested flavor profile. Anxious to get his take. My take? Both WAY too cloyingly sweet, especially the low-fat vanilla and it's lingering aftertaste. If he hates them, he's getting a peanut butter banana smoothie with the spoils as a base for Sunday brunch with an affogato back. Can't stand to waste food. Penguin's has been in the Hayes Center for as long as I can remember, a WLA institution surviving the across the street Big Chill competitor. If you're not a sweet treat snob like I am, definitely snag free parking and a few samples.
