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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Super solid ice cream place with interesting and tasty filipino flavors! My party tried strawberry chili, calamansi creamsicle, ube, white coffee, guava cheesecake, and black sesame, and they were all so good it was hard to choose. Even my Chinese mom who doesn't like most desserts loved all the ones she tried. Staff is very nice and was happy to let us sample multiple flavors. Indoor space is cozy and bright, and if the seating inside is filled, there is plenty of shaded space on the cute patio outside. Also a lot of free parking available. If you come on a Sunday, you can find the Montrose farmer's market just down the street.

Bummer - the ice cream was just OK. Popping all over my algorithm, I was curious to try out the newest Filipino ice cream shop that had opened up. We bought two flights to try eight flavors, and I found only three decent: Black Sesame, Peach Mango Graham & Calamansi Creamsicle. The black sesame had a solid nutty flavor and wasn't overly sweet. The peach mango graham had good texture, and the flavor wasn't subtle. The calamansi creamsicle was tangy. We tried the usual Filipino flavors like Ube, Buko Pandan, & Mais con Queso. The flavors were flat. The Red Bean and Pineapple Cake was overly sweet. For two flights, it costs $37.13, including tax and tip. No notes on the service, it was good. The place is clean. Glad we tried them once! Best of luck Perlas!

I chose calamansi creamsicle for the flavor and single for the size. The taste reminds me of lemon but it's calamansi. It's sour but not overpowering. I like how pirouline or something similar is included to balance out the creaminess of the ice cream. It doesn't seem like there are tables inside, a bunch of chairs are though. A bunch of customers are grouped together in the corner where there's a window facing the front. Filipino music and pop music plays through the speaker(s). A small menu is on the counter. There are decorations on the walls, a menu is on the wall. It's well lit inside. One plant is placed on the counter. Several pink tables and chairs are outside the restaurant. My mom asked the employee for the percentage of cacao in the tsokolate ice cream but the employee didn't know. There's only one register. I like how the spoons are bpi compostable. The cups are made of paper I think, which is good for the environment.

Love this spot in the neighborhood! It took over the space that was sugarbird scones! They have seating indoors and outdoors and the ice cream flavors are amazing! My kids loved the Milo crunch and I loved the buko pandan! Family owned and operated

Cutest little ice cream shop with the best customer service! First timers and server let us sample as many flavors as we wanted!!! I literally sampled every flavor and i actually picked the first and the last flavors I sampled. Mine was mais and sesame. That sesame brought me back to my childhood! I gotta come back cuz the server said they change their flavors often! I can only come back after walking the rose bowl loop! Cancels each other out, right?

I hope this ice cream shop blows up. All the flavors are so unique and you can tell how much love/intentionality goes into each flavor! I sampled the peach mango graham, buko pandan, and Louisiana banana. It was rly hard to choose a flavor because they were all so good! I opted for the peach mango graham which had a hint of mango within the cream base, little chunks of peach, and specks of graham crackers. (Tho I do wish the mango flavor was a little stronger). The inside is very cozy and inviting and there are plenty of tables outside as well. This is a family owned shop, and the owners are so kind!

What a nice and cozy place to go to for good ice cream. They also have chairs and tables just outside the store front.

So glad I finally got to stop by and check out Perlas Ice Cream. It was absolutely delicious. They let you try as many flavors as you'd like. I went with a split scoop of the Mais Con Queso (corn and cheese) and Buko Pandan. My favorite of the two was hands down the Mais Con Queso. if you like corn flavored things like corn cookies or cereal milk, you're going to love this flavor. Really friendly staff, and some limited but very cute and comfortable seating inside.
