    The Dole Whip Pineapple frozen yogurt is what brought me here; but the Orange Bang flavor made me go crazy with this location. Their. Toppings are numerous and fresh fruit, really fresh! It's perfect for a summer dessert...

    Gelato of the Week (strawberry) - fantastic!

    Decent to-go dessert spot in the heart of cute San Marino. They have soft serve everything from froyo to gelato and even Dole Whip! It's self serve with an abundance of choices for flavors and toppings. Service is efficient - prices are kinda high imo - but still a solid choice if you're in the area. We stopped in after having lunch next door and were promptly greeted by staff who explained how the self serve aspect worked. Grab what size you want, fill up the cup with anything you choose, then they weigh it and calculate the cost. We went for a medium cup to share btwn the two of us and it was more than we needed. We opted for the weekly special Strawberry Gelato and topped it with dark chocolate chips and coconut - it tasted lovely and was a great combination. The variety of toppings is impressive- so many choices - a whole wall full - and they even had popping boba and grass jellies! This is definitely a to-go place - there's only one small bench at the entrance so no where to sit or hang out except the shared courtyard outside which is very nice. Everything was clean and tidy. The staff were efficient but not especially warm or welcoming - we got the feeling it's just a very "get in get out" kinda vibe. They do have a cute photo wall for those IG-worthy shots though lol. Prices seemed high to us. We were a tad surprised. But the gelato and toppings were fresh and very good quality.

    It was scorching hot outside today (9/5) so we stopped by to get some froyo and check out their dole whip. Their dole whip didn't really taste like the real dole whip I had back in Hawaii. It was more sour and not much of the pineapple tastes in it. On the other hand, I like their chocolate froyo because it was CHOCOLATELY. We shared a medium size cup but to me it was very pricey. $10 for a med size cup with nearly any toppings on it!! The place is very small with nearly any place to sit inside, but there are tables outside which I refused to sit due to the scorching hot weather. They should have at least used part of the back for some seatings.

    How did I not know this place that serves dole whip floats was located so close to me? Quaint store front with weekly offerings of various flavors ( the dole whip is a permanent offering ) with a wall full of fun toppings to add on as well as some fresh items located in a 'salad bar' fashion. Outdoor seating available and very little seating available inside. Clean restrooms for customers. Free street parking. The dole whip float has a set price - other items are priced by weight. Fun and delicious.

    Went for the first time last week and it was really good. The worker that was there was super nice and asked if it was our first time there -- she gave us the rundown of how it all worked and it was so helpful! It was a small space, but there were good flavors and lots of options! Will definitely be coming back!!

    Strawberry and classic dole whip swirled together!

    My boyfriend and I visited this shop last night (Tuesday July 16th) we were on our way home from dinner. I remembered that they have dole whip. We both had our first dole whip together at Disneyland the week before! Yes, crazy I know. So I pulled over and parked and we jumped outta the car! At first he said he was too full. But once I gave him a sample, he said fill em up. Lol He's dairy free. So he was super excited to find new options for him to try! I got the swirl of strawberry and pineapple dole whip! It was AMAZING! So, thank you very much for being another local option for us! We both absolutely loved our dole whips! The gal who helped us, was super friendly and knowledgeable! She got my boyfriend excited to come back next week for the new flavors! Thank you again for having vegan friendly options!!!!!

    Lots of toppings made by a 3 year old

    **Rating this experience with a toddler** #2 outing of what my toddler and I call "dessert adventures", we decided to check out Swirlz. We picked this spot because of the abundant choice of toppings, and my toddler has been talking about "candy (aka. Skittles) and gummy bears" all day. I was particularly impressed with how good the dole whip tasted! I would DEFINITELY come here again for the pineapple dole whip. I did NOT like the strawberry, and my son didn't either, even though strawberry is his favorite ice cream flavor. We filled the medium-sized cup to the brim, and I think it was just shy of $10. We topped it with so much chocolate and candy, and only later did I notice that there was fruit on the other side. Oops! The store associate was somewhat friendly. She only gave me one sample cup, I wish she gave us at least 2. Granted, it was still nice they are letting us sample, during covid and all. But the store and tables outside were kept clean and welcoming. It was definitely toddler approved! We'll be back!

    My sister was craving for pineapple coke whip so we came here on a Saturday afternoon for dessert. The place is very small inside. The flavors are one side and the toppings are next to cashier. We shared pineapple and watermelon whip. We sat outside and could enjoy my dessert because another family was loud. Anyway. The pineapple whip taste like I was in Hawaii and watermelon was mild in flavor. I preferred the pineapple. 3 stars for watermelon mild flavor and other table was loud.

    Nice and tasty frozen yogurt place right in San Marino. They also serve dole whip float which was my favorite here. They had the classic pineapple dole whip and watermelon. They also have self serve frozen yogurt where you can add toppings yourself (just like yoghurt land). The watermelon dole whip float was pretty unique, watermelon frozen yoghurt on top and watermelon slushy on the bottom. It tasted even better when you mix both together. Super refreshing and not too sweet as well. I do wish that they have more options with this. Frozen yogurt tasted fresh, but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, I'd definitely come back for their dole whips.

    Watermelon and Pineapple dole whip

    Came here after we saw a post on facebook from the SGV Eats group and decided to give it a try. Very small parlor with lots of street parking. No indoor tables to dine inside and very limited seating outdoor. My significant other and I ordered their pineapple and watermelon dole whip. They also have frozen yogurt and i believe gelato or ice cream. Their dolewhip is made behind the scenes and it did take some time before we received our order. They have different sizes as well for you to choose from. Their frozen yogurt is self serve on the left side with many toppings to choose from on the wall. They're all dry toppings but I didn't see if they had wet toppings such as fruit on the side. Their dole whip floats were good. Reminded me of Disneyland. Their watermelon dole whip had 2 flavors, green watermelon or watermelon punch. I opted for the punch but curious what the green watermelon entails. Their watermelon float was delicious on a hot day. The juice was a little too sweet for me but it was better than the pineapple which was very tart. Their watermelon float comes with a slice of watermelon compared to the pineapple. Otherwise loved the idea and would love to go back to try other flavors.

The girl working the counter was a young girl just getting by her summer day job. She was nice but timid. It was our first time there and a little more energy on her end could've been better. Ordered the ube swirl, pineapple dole whip, mung bean taiyaki, and a custard one togo. The taiyaki that goes onto the ice cream is a lot bigger than one we ordered to go. I thought it would be as big, but when I got it, it was so much smaller and flat. Also, the taiyaki that goes on top of the ice cream was old. It had been sitting there for a while or was made earlier as it was hard and difficult to bite. The red bean inside I also assumed was a paste like how they make the Japanese version, however there were whole pieces in there. It was okay, but I thought they'd be like paste. Overall, the only thing that was good was the ube swirl and the pineapple dole whip. It was also extremely warm in the shop, like no AC in the triple digits summer heat. Had to eat it elsewhere. I most likely won't be back.

Ultimately, we got the following: - Split cup of cookies n matcha and sesame- both flavors were 5/5! Not too sweet and well balanced. - Single scoop of strawberry and balsamic - an accurate iced version of the classic flavor combo. Tangy, sweet, and tart. Another 5/5 The prices were fair, and the ambiance is that of a typical market. They also sell non-iced desserts like churros. However, as others have noted, I didn't feel like their gelato was that dense or silky, it felt more like ice cream to me.

Javanese Jasmine Tea -also a bit icy, flavor wasn't as strong as I'd like either. Mango Passionfruit Sorbet -my favorite flavor, texture was great and not that sweet. Mango and passionfruit always pair well together. Lychee -surprisingly the milk based flavor worked great with lychee. This one was also great. Durian -also pretty icy but flavor was there. I don't personally like icy ice cream.

    I've seen this business on my socials & had it saved for a potential visit. It was everything I…read moreexpected it to be. I drove all the way from Long Beach to visit my discount hobby mechanic Bobby; and yes it was worth the one hour drive. One because I had an amazing ice cream and two; I by passed a tune up at Fletcher Jones Toyota of Carson who for some reason didn't honor the previous warranty, because "Fletcher-Jones is now the new owner of the Carson location." In a sense, I am thankful for the grifting, because it lead me here. If you're indecisive Kinrose Creamery does offer samples. I ended up ordering two scoops of Saffron Pistachio Rose, & Orange Flower Pistachio. I definitely savored this unique frozen dessert in this unforgivable heat. Loved my choices and I will be coming back through the summer. The customer service is excellent, the establishment is very clean, & nicely decorated as well. It appears they have local art on the walls, and it's also well air conditioned. Additional information: parking is a bit of a hassle in this area. I ended up paying for a one day parking pass, which is ten bucks and having to walk about two blocks. I did not mind the short stroll but do recommend to look up neighboring businesses to get the best out of the one day pass. There's a pottery painting workshop near by, a spa, furniture shops, and also an amazing tea place adjacently across the street.

Staff were friendly and I loved the vibe. You do have to pay for parking, but there's aplenty of spaces to park. Cannot wait to be in Pasadena again to try this place again.

They offer a lot of classic flavors as well as inventive flavors that may sound weird, but somehow work (for example: Pear and Blue Cheese). The limited edition flavors rotate monthly.

It tastes moderately sweet, with the perfect balance of mint and dark chocolate. Another top flavor of mine is Hazelnut Cookies and Cream. I like that it is made with a hazelnut butter fudge that adds a roasted, nutty sweetness. Because there are so many good flavors, I feel like you can't just get one scoop here.
