The unfortunate part is that the ice cream really isn't that good, and the portions are small for what you pay.  What really turned me off, though, was the lack of common sense from the staff. If you've been here, you know they have a display case with slices of cake and pie. Normally you look through the case and point to the piece you want. That's exactly what I did. There were about ten pieces of cake in the case, and I picked one that had the perfect icing-to-cake ratio. The employee asked what I wanted, and when I pointed to the slice she told me, "You can only pick from these two," while holding up two other pieces. Apparently those were the older slices that they were trying to get rid of. They were clearly smaller and, judging by how they were being pushed, probably not the freshest either. Since I was basically being forced to buy something I didn't want, I said I didn't want anything. She just said "okay" and moved on to help the rest of my family. At that point I told my family we were leaving and heading to Bloomfield Creamery in Altadena instead. The employee had every opportunity to use a little common sense and simply give me the slice I asked for. I work hard for my money, and if I'm paying premium prices, I expect to choose what I'm buying. Instead, they lost Madre family of customers for good.

You can get ice cream scoops in cups or cones and they also have affogatos, milkshakes, and drinks/lattes that also come in matcha, hojicha or coffee flavors. Staff are friendly and help with suggestions on ive cream flavors that go with your drink/milkshake. I had a hojicha milkshake with vanilla ice cream. On occasion, they will have promos on Instagram for discounts if you follow them, so we went for their father's day promo for a treat for the whole family!

Literally the perfect spot for a sweet bite especially in this summer heat. I came by on a Monday and was able to sample several of their ice cream flavors. I asked to try their most popular ones (Chunks&Swirls, Yuzu) and instantly realized why they were a hit. I walked away with a pint of their signature Chunks & Swirls flavor. This spot has Vegan and Non-Dairy options which is a HUGE plus. Main detriment is that it's at the mall and can take a while to find parking, but thankfully it's very accessible being right in the food court. I'll be back to try their drinks soon!

Cute little shop for the indoor decor, there are benches and tables/chairs. Great for friends and family to hang out. Staffs are friendly and patiently introducing the menu to us.

Go check them out if you haven't.

I tried the lychee and matcha soft serve flavors, and ended up getting the matcha flavor. Those flavors were good, the lychee and matcha were pungent. But the texture of the soft serve wasn't my favorite. The texture wasn't my favorite, it was more of an icy texture as oppose to a creamy silky texture which I would have preferred. I usually like the Oreo topping on my soft serve since it gives it a crunch, but it just didn't taste that good after a few bites. This soft serve was also a bit pricey, it was around $7 for the soft serve and topping, which was a bit disappointing since it wasn't that great. My friend also got their crunchy nut ice cream and didn't like it. I wish I liked this place more since they have Asian flavors but unfortunately it wasn't my favorite. Maybe if they improve the texture of their soft serve, I would reconsider.

Amazing taiyaki spot!…read more There's not too many in the SGV and they offer them at such an affordable price with tons of filling options. We also got a plain milk soft serve and it was probably one of the creamiest milks soft serve we've ever had. The self serve toppings bar is also a nice touch. The taiyaki came out pretty quick as well and they are located right next to golden deli, perfect to spot to grab some dessert after a warm bowl of pho.

On my last visit, I ordered a swirl with Pure Milk and Pineapple Dole Whip, and it turned out to be incredibly refreshing. The combination was surprisingly light, making it the perfect treat for a warm day. The Ube flavor is another favorite of mine. It is rich, flavorful, and always satisfying. One thing I really appreciate is that the ice cream doesn't feel overly heavy or overly sweet, so I can indulge without feeling weighed down afterward. If you're looking for a refreshing dessert that's packed with flavor but not too rich, this spot definitely hits the mark.

We ordered the signature bingsu and it was amazing. I came in here with no expectations and…read morehonestly this place really blew me away. Their bingsu and toppings all blended so well together it felt like I was eating a Chinese/Korean açaí bowl. It felt like a very light dessert and I could keep eating more of it. Some bingsu's are a bit more decadent. This place was just right. The bingsu was light and the texture was perfect. It wasn't too icy like some other places. Service was excellent! The cashier was kind and patient. We received our order quickly. There is plenty of seating inside the store. Bingsu Bingsu is located on the promenade side of the Arcadia Westfield mall. There is plenty of parking all around the mall. Would highly recommend this bingsu shop!

Lots of mango pieces covered with passionfruit jelly (dripped with mango and passionfruit puree). You also get a scoop of ice cream (flavor of your choice) ) on top of your bingsu, and I chose vanilla. Very refreshing on a hot day! There are a handful of seating inside, so can be pretty crowded when busy. Good value as the large portion size is plenty to share for two. Parking wise, can be a pain in the you-know-what at this mall, especially on a weekend or during a holiday.

I have been going to Moo Moo Mia for a while now and it has been one of my favorite delights when it comes to craft ice cream. They offer monthly flavors along with some more original staples and lets be honest, with summer looming, knowing a great ice cream spot is always a must. There are monthly flavors so I recommend swinging by early in the month to check out what great flavors they have cooked up. At the time of my visit, I was hooked on the Strawberry Koldski which was inspired by the Danish roots and a mix of sweet and tart Strawberry. I got a double and I simply wanted more. My go to, is the Oreo and Cream which is one of the best Cookies and Cream variants I have ever had. Everyone is super nice and you can have tastings of the different flavors until you land on one. Trust me, some flavors hit on different days! The shop is in the famous Monrovia shopping area, which adds to the allure of visiting. Parking is free and sitting and having a cup of ice cream in one of the benches is such a treat. Swing by and chill and enjoy some great ice cream! Cheers!

It looked great, but not knowing anything about it, I went for my usual old folk style ice cream in a cup so as to not over calorie myself. It's fun sitting outside in the evening. The streets are fairly quiet. So it's peaceful. Overall a great place to treat your loved ones. They can also be found at the LA County Fair in May. I tried the Dubai Chocolate bar at the Fair. It was my first Dubai Chocolate experience. I don't know what all the fuss is about. Overpriced fad if you want my opinion.

There was only one person working the counter and serving the whole crowd, but they were definitely hustling. They have a lot of really funky and unique flavors to choose from. We ended up trying the Cookie Monster (served in a donut!) and the Ube. Both were really solid--the ice cream is high quality and definitely explains why this place is so popular. The process is simple: you just pay on the iPad and then grab your ice cream. Definitely a cool spot to check out if you're in Pasadena and looking for a sweet treat!

Ordering is done right at the front entrance and they have a table with the menu posted. There are two benches outside the shop where you can sit to wait or to enjoy your ice cream.
