It was a particularly hot day when I came here, but I can say with confidence I chose wisely. I had a very tasty taro ice cream that had such a luxurious texture I amost wondered if eating it is what royalty feels like. My partner also had mint chocolate chip which I'm not particularly fond of, but that's the joy of ice cream, different flavors for all involved! The staff here were pretty nice and given how hot it was knew people just needed some relief. Very excited to come back and try something else! Cheers!

I try to eat healthy, so having ice cream isn't something I do often, but after my first sample I knew I wouldn't be able to hold back. I ordered a double scoop and got one of the Orange Creamsicle and one of Nut Your Average Scoop. Both were delicious, but the Orange Creamsicle was my favorite. It was a refreshing take on the classic flavor. I especially loved the bits of orange zest sprinkled throughout. It only took one visit for me to become a fan of Moo Moo Mia and I can't wait to visit again!

It's BACK, I love this flavor

Flavors I've enjoyed are butter brickle, chocolate chip, mocha almond fudge, pistachio, matcha, sea salt caramel, English toffee, and butter pecan. Bruster's also offer sorbet.

They have kick'n mango strawberry which actually has a little spicy kick to it! Also offered are Italian icees, sherbet, and non-dairy/oat milk. Have fun at Bruster's!

They offer delivery through DoorDash/GrubHub where I can choose size, flavors, and toppings, and it's incredibly convenient. It surprised me that Tutti Frutti doesn't offer frozen yogurt itself for delivery--only other items. I think this is a big missed opportunity, especially since delivery has become the norm in 2025. Even having staff pre-pack cups or pints for delivery during slower hours would make it easy to set up. II'd much rather support Tutti Frutti, and I think many others in the area would order more often if your yogurt was available for delivery.

Happy Halloween!

If I could give Ponches Ice Cream more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed like family. Ponch, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure I had the perfect experience -- he's not just friendly, he's genuinely passionate about what he does, and it shows in every detail. Now, let's talk about the masterpiece that changed my dessert life forever: ice cream inside a warm donut. Whoever came up with this deserves a Nobel Prize for happiness -- and Ponch delivers it perfectly. The donut is soft and warm, the ice cream cold and creamy, and the combination is pure magic. I swear it's the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. You can tell everything here is made with love, and that's what makes Ponches so special. It's not just a treat, it's an experience -- one that leaves you smiling long after the last bite. Thank you, Ponch, for creating a place that's as warm and sweet as your donuts and ice cream! read more

Ponch's Ice Cream is seriously the best! The ice cream donut sandwiches are so good -- warm, soft donuts with creamy ice cream inside is such a perfect combo. Everything tastes super fresh, and they have a great variety of flavors and toppings. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the place has such a nice vibe. Definitely one of my favorite dessert spots in Glendale! read more
