Was so happy to hear of a Filipino ice cream spot opening in this area. Prices are fair, staff is friendly, and there is a nice outdoor seating area as well as some limited seating inside. The last time I went, we ordered their flight which is 4 slightly smaller than standard (but still decently sized) scoops. We realized that they'd given us one of the wrong flavors, and the team kindly offered to give us an entirely new flight! We declined, as we couldn't finish that much ice cream, but thought that was very generous customer service. My favorites are the turon, mais con queso, and Louisiana banana. I've also tried the buko pandan, halo halo, tsokolate, Milo crunch, calamansi creamsicle, and all are well-balanced, not too sweet, and flavorful. They all taste true to their Filipino flavors/desserts they're inspired by and have creamy, non-icy textures. Their waffle cones are also excellent! Come support this amazing ice cream spot!
This was my first time at Perla's. As a Filipina myself, I was excited about this place! It was cutely decorated. I loved all of the flavor options. It was so hard to choose! I ended up going with the calamansi and four seasons flavors. The staff was really nice. I'll have to go back again! The only thing is that parking could be a little difficult depending on what time you go since there are many businesses in that area.
Ice Cream: 10/10 EVERY SINGLE flavor was AMAZING! Just pick one and it won't disappoint you! I ended up getting the calamansi creamsicile and milk/avocado. But DEFINITELY get/try the Turon. The flavor was great but then that after taste hits you and BAM HEAVEN! Never thought I'd like ice cream this much! Best believe Im going to let all the people i know about this spot! Ambiance: 8/10 Cute, simple, cozy vibes. Adorable! Service: 10/10 Shout out to Clark! It was our first time there and he was so nice and kind! He was so patient with us while we picked out our flavors. GREAT service! Tips: Parking lot it's small, so you may have to find street parking or parking in the neighborhood.If possible.
New Filipino Ice Cream shop in the Glendale area that's worth checking out! I visited this ice cream spot on opening day and they had a buy one get one free scoop deal so my friends and I shared a variety of flavors! Here's what we tried: -Buko Pandan: The flavor was on point in this one! I loved the coconut and pandan flavors. -Mais con Queso: The flavor was also on point! I was surprised at how good this one was. Creamy and corny flavors that reminds me of the ice cream in the Philippines. Warning that this is pretty strong in corn flavor. -Milo Crunch: Chocolaty and crunchy. Indulgent and yummy. -Louisiana Banana: Reminds me of desserts Filipino aunties make. Surprisingly good and I liked the banana flavor. -Calamansi Creamsicle: Tart and creamy. -Turon: Flavor was on point, but I didn't like the texture. Would recommend crunchier spring roll bits. -Halo-Halo: This one tasted like a cake cone to me. Not my most favorite flavor. All the ice cream was generally creamy and delicious. They did melt pretty quick though. Around $6 per scoop I believe. The service here was pretty good and the staff were nice. They also explained the flavors to my friends. There's tables and seating, but outdoors only. They also have complimentary water cups which is nice. For the bathroom, it's behind the restaurant. For parking, there's ample street parking nearby.
We came 15 min before closing time and the servers were so sweet, they welcomed us in and reminded us we could sample the flavors. Every single flavor was so delicious and creamy. They do have 1 dairy free option. My favorites were the Mais con queso, Louisiana banana (like turon w vanilla icecream), and calamansi creamsicle (so refreshing)! The decor is so cutesy and homey with homage to their Filipino roots and some indoor and plenty outdoor seating! They also have free stickers! Loved loved loved it and will be back for many sweet treats!
Very nice ambiance its a nice little cozy shop. The mango matcha was so creamy, personal facorite flavor. The milo crunch was also great and i liked the textural bits in it. Def wanna come back to try the pandan flavor and others. They also had free stickers that were cute.
Perla's is so cute with some seating inside and outside. Their ice cream is smooth and creamy with exotic filipino flavors. I appreciate the reasonable sizes, especially if you're full and just want to squeeze in a little satisfying dessert. This shop is is very "Masarap!!!" :-)
Solid spot in the La Crescenta/Glendale area! Loved the Filipino-inspired flavor options. We got the flight and the split so we could try 6 half scoops, and it was super fun tasting everything. We tried the white coffee, ube, halo halo, calamansi creamsicle, mais con queso (corn flavor), and Milo crunch -- all were solid. Also loved sampling flavors like Turon and Louisiana banana! Only reason I'm not giving it a full 5/5 is because I usually gravitate more toward fruity/sorbet-style flavors, but I'd definitely recommend this place if you're into rich, creative flavors! Service was great. Parked in the lot.
My wife and I got to spend the day with our daughter because she was serving as a Moderator for a Filmmaker Panel and we were blessed to see her excel at something she had not done before. Despite claiming she was nervous, we could not tell one iota and she seemed a natural at something she was doing for the first time. We were so proud of her. Our daughter thanked us by treating us to lunch and then taking us to Perlas Ice Cream shop for dessert. She has wanted to take us here for sometime and she raved about how amazing the ice cream was. We wholeheartedly concur with her positive assessment of Perlas. If you're a fan of Filipino/Asian inspired ice cream flavors, you'll love this business. You don't even have to be Filipino or Asian to enjoy the ice cream here. It's quality and flavorful ice cream for anyone. Besides the ice cream, the stellar customer service from the young Filipino dude made our first time visit a noteworthy one. Perlas can be found in Glendale, CA., specifically in the Montrose neighborhood. There's a row of businesses on Oceanview and Verdugo Avenue. It's parallel to Schreiner's and a short walk to Domino's Pizza. There's free parking close to the shop and there's street parking. Perlas is a small ice cream shop with a small indoor seating area consisting of cushioned bench style seating. There is covered outdoor seating where there are pink metallic round tables and pink folding chairs adjacent to trees providing more shade. Inside the shop, the focal point are the rows of ice box storage containers holding the ice cream; there is decorative lighting; I really enjoyed the shelves on one wall that held Filipino grocery items; the framed pics of family and other items representing the Filipino culture was a nice touch; and I really liked the hidden drawer in the order counter that had packs of Lactaid. Kudos to the young Filipino dude who was friendly, accommodated our sample requests, and provided outstanding customer service. From Google, Perlas Ice Cream is a family-owned, Filipino-inspired ice cream shop, known for unique, handcrafted flavors like ube, strawberry matcha, and banana foster with a Filipino rum swirl, blending Southeast Asian influences with classic desserts. My daughter had visited Perlas previously and had told me that I would enjoy visiting because they serve Filipino style ice cream. She was totally right that I would love the ice cream and my effusive praise for their ice cream started after I tasted the samples I requested. I asked to taste Buko Pandan, Turon, Louisiana Banana, and Mais Con Queso. I also tasted Ube because my daughter requested that as a sample. Out of the several samples, I ordered a double in a cup of Buko Pandan and Turon. Buko Pandan is coconut and pandan ice cream. Turon contains caramel, saba banana, jackfruit, and toasted spring roll wrapper. It was flavorful from first taste, creamy, provided respite from the warm weather, and I savored every bite. Out of the two ice cream flavors I consumed, my favorite was turon, which is a popular Filipino dessert that's a sweet spring roll filled with ripe saba bananas and jackfruit, coated in brown sugar, and deep-fried until crispy and caramelized. Perlas turon was that dessert, but in ice cream form, and it is a Must Order. It truly was a blessing to watch our daughter do her thang and to spend quality time with my two fave ladies. The cherry on top of the proverbial whip cream sundae was our visit to Perlas Ice Cream and their ice cream needs to be in that proverbial sundae. Seriously, it's that delish!!
Just imagine enjoying a night out in the Philippines where the dirt is on the ground, there are plenty of tables and chairs to go around, many lights above the beautiful sky while eating a bite of delicious, creamy ice cream catered to the Filipino craft. That's how I felt when I went to Perlas Ice cream and enjoying the food outside. I first heard about this place when Perlas Ice Cream advertised their ice cream in their Instagram page and I was curious to go, but never had the time to experience it until early July when my sister, brother, friends, and even my son were in the area after having a KBBQ dinner nearby. We HAD to try this place out! I loved trying different flavors Perlas had to offer - milo crunch, turon, ube. They all were delicious, not too sweet. My favorite was the turon and especially loved the texture. For their prices they are affordable, service was great and friendly, there is plenty of street parking available. Overall, check out Perlas for Filipino-flavored ice cream.
Beautifully crafted ice cream! My family has been eyeing this place ever since they had their soft opening, and we finally got to try it last night. There was a lot of love for the Milo crunch, calamansi creamsicle, buko pandas and the choconut(dairy free). All three of the staff greeted us when we walked in. The lady who served us was sweet, friendly, and offered samples. You can tell this ice cream was made with love for the Philippines! Inside is decorated with touches of the PI and a small seating area. Outside has plenty of patio chairs and tables to enjoy your treat. It's heartwarming to see my culture be represented in a successful small business a half a mile away from me. Please support them!
Perlas is a Filipino-owned ice cream shop with some amazing Filipino-inspired flavors on their menu. To get here, they have a small parking lot or street parking all around the area. Inside, they have a couple booths for seating and then some additional tables outside as well. Wifey ended up getting a scoop of the Mais Con Queso and I opted for the Calamansi Creamsicle. We really enjoyed the richness and flavor profiles of our orders. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely stop by to support and try out some of their awesome Filipino-inspired flavors!
Earlier this year, my friend & I checked-out Perlas Ice Cream for the first time. It was a warm Saturday afternoon, so everyone had the same idea to get ice cream! We found street parking in the nearby residential area and arrived at around 2:30pm. There was a line out-of-the-door with only two staff members working, so we waited about 10 to 20 minutes to order. Although there was a queue, the service and overall experience were great. The staff member was generous with samples and offered to keep our pints in the freezer while we enjoyed our ice cream in the shop. The shop's small, but homey with nostalgic decor and a sunlit indoor seating area. There were a few seats outside of the shop as well. My friend & I shared a flight of four flavors ($14). My faves were the Mais Con Queso (creamy & light with a good amount of corn pieces) and Calamansi Creamsicle (like a fizzy citrus drink and fun contrast to the other flavors). As mentioned, we did buy pints ($16/each) to take home; I chose a pint of the Buko Pandan, which had a pretty green color, light pandan flavor, and specks of coconut. We'd definitely return to Perlas, if we're in the area!

Stumbled upon Perla's Ice Cream while searching Yelp for an ice cream shop. I'm glad I chose this place as it was some of the creamiest and flavorful ice cream I've had in a long time. They are in their soft opening stage at the moment but you should go support them and try their fantastic ice cream. Some of the flavors are Filipino inspired and are great. The service was impeccable and the design of the space was cozy and clean. I Highly recommend this place. read more

This ice cream made me feel like I was back in my homeland of the Phillippines. So much authentic Filipino flavor options such as halo-halo, buko pandan, turon, classic ube, and milo crunch. I scooped up some ube and milo crunch, and it was absolutely delicious. Other ube ice creams I've tried around Glendale, are not as authentic as the one at Perlas. They did an amazing job at putting Filipino flavors into ice cream. Also, the ambiance, the cute seating area, and the decorations, even the menu, are all so aesthetically pleasing. Right after trying this place with my friends, I immediately texted my Filipino family to come. I definitely recommend! read more
We were craving dessert and we decided to stop by Montrose's newest addition to the ice cream scene. They are currently in their soft opening phase and are open Friday to Sunday from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm. We tried the strawberry matcha, calamansi, chocolate, buko pandan, and ube. All the flavors were delicious, we'll definitely be back again soon! read more

My son loved their milo crunch ice cream and i'm glad they have a smaller scoop so kids can finish it. Their ice cream mix is smooth and they can even let you try the flavors first hand before you decide which one to pick.. The place is small but cozy inside with cute table setup in front so you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. Employees are really nice and accommodating too. read more
I loved the ice cream from Perlas! They have unique flavors that I wouldn't be able to find in other ice cream shops. I got the white coffee and really enjoyed it! My friends got many different flavors and enjoyed them all. The space is cozy and service was really nice! The sweet cone is somehow both crunchy and chewy!! Theres multiple friendly workers at the front to help ring you up or give you samples to try. I lowkey tried like 6 flavors and they were happy to help hahaha. Theres no large signage (as of November 2025) so be sure not to miss it!!!! *See the photo attached of the door exterior. read more

Perlas ice cream has been my latest ice cream stop in Glendale! They are a family-owned business currently in a soft opening phase and are open on weekends (Friday to Sunday) from 12pm to 8pm. All of their selections feature South Asian flavors, adding a distinct and enjoyable twist to the ice cream. My current favorite flavor is white coffee, which offers a strong espresso taste with subtle hints of biscotti, creating a crunchy, playful element. I also really enjoy ube, a staple in Filipino culture; you really can't go wrong with it. They offer samples of all the flavors, as many as you'd like (definitely a bonus!). Customer service here is always outstanding. The staff are very friendly and helpful, answering every question and making you feel acknowledged. They like chatting with customers to build connections. Plus, Perlas is dog-friendly, so you can bring your furry friends! Parking and seating are limited. You can usually find a spot in the small plaza the shop shares with other restaurants, or park behind the shop. Although I don't have photos to help guide you, you can also find residential street parking nearby. Outdoor seating is available for enjoying your ice cream. Overall, I highly recommend giving it a try when you're in the area and craving some delicious ice cream! I can't wait for the grand opening! ig:eatperlas read more

Perlas Ice Cream: A Sweet First Step in Montrose At the quiet corner of Ocean View Boulevard in Montrose, a new scoop shop has opened its doors... Perlas Ice Cream, a first-generation brick-and-mortar built on a family's long tradition of making ice cream. The owner, Candice, carries that family legacy into her first storefront with an unassuming grace: a soft-lit space, clean lines, and family photos adorning the front of the parlor. I just learned that her brother, Jaden, is behind the counter, ready to welcome you to the store. Reminders that this is a place born not of trend, but of memory. On my first visit, I ordered a rum raisin, and it was delicious. It was creamy, smooth, and delicately balanced, the kind of flavor that reminds you why certain classics endure. It's one of those scoops that doesn't need reinvention; it just needs to be done right, and here, it is. Honestly, it is a few feet from Berolinas Bakery and Shreiner's Fine Sausages. But what makes Perlas special isn't only its texture or balance.. It's the quiet confidence with which it bridges worlds. The menu reflects new flavors known to some, like calamansi (lime) and ube (sweet purple yam), alongside traditional favorites like rum raisin and dark chocolate that will keep locals coming back. It's comfort through contrast: heritage meeting hometown. There's something gentle about the space. The people behind the counter might be family. I didn't ask, but their warmth suggested as much. They serve with the calm assurance of people doing something that matters to them. In a neighborhood (Sparr Heights, Oak Circle, Montrose) that values sincerity over spectacle, Perlas feels right at home. It's a clean, honest first step... one that brings a family story, a touch of heritage, and a lot of heart to Montrose. If the opening weekend is any sign, this won't be their last step, just the beginning of a story that the community will be lucky to share.

What a gem! A pearl! All the flavors are very good, but my favorite is the white coffee on waffle. White coffee, creamy milk latte flavor with cookie crunch. The calamansi creamsicle is citrus but creamer. Mais con cheese is sweet with bits of corn and hint of salt that balances the sweetness. The workers are very friendly. Wish they were in Orange County. Love the Filipino Christmas lantern at the entrance! read more

This little hidden gem in Glendale was amazing. Very artisanal flavors with Filipino flair. Everything we sampled was so delicious without a hint of any artificial flavors. We both decided to get the milo crunch and white coffee split. They are very crave able. They are very affordable. Honestly, I would have paid more. Service was friendly and efficient. It is a very tiny shop with a minimalist vibe. There are a small seating area inside and a small area outside. I would gate keep this if I could because summer is coming and it will be pack for sure. read more
