SALJU HAS EXCELLENT SHAVED SNOW…read more=============================== I am so glad Salju is still in business after all these years! It seems really popular as well. While I was there lots of people came in. I used to bring my son years ago. My selection today was a small matcha with strawberries on top. I had the choice of two items in addition to condensed milk which I love. Next time I'll pay extra for more condensed milk. It was absolutely delicious. Even though it's about twelve miles from my home I will make the trip. It's worth it. The service is great too.

small shaved ice ($8.5) - at first i was like why is this…read moreshaved ice almost $10 after tax but it is so worth it given the size, texture, flavor, and the fact that you can choose two toppings! - there is a great variety of toppings which I liked; i got the grass jelly and red bean, both of which were good quality ingredients - got it without any condensed milk bc it was already yummy by itself; light, refreshing, and a perfect guilt free sweet treat - the matcha was super strong and the shaved ice itself had a quirky texture; although it is shaved ice it has a texture leaning a bit towards gelato? A bit gooey when you pull it up; It doesn't melt quickly right in your mouth too rating: 4.7/5 - this might be on my top 2 shaved ice spot because its texture was just so unique; flavor was good and portion was massive - i really have nothing to complain about this spot and what's even better is the amount of seats and outlets in the store - has a restroom in the back - great spot to hang and chit chat - super welcoming and friendly service - service is extremely speedy IG: @nom.noms.only

The ice cream is so yummy! I got the matcha and pure milk. My honey got the pineapple, but I…read moredidn't get to try his. The matcha w/ red bean taiyaki is good, but it doesn't need the extra flair, honestly. So tasty on its own. I'm not a huge ice cream fan, but this was really enjoyable. Service was quick too, if that is important to anybody. Definitely will come back!

I was excited to try this ice cream shop out since it's similar to Somi Somi, so I went with my…read morebrothers after we finished dinner. It's a small shop with a few tables, but luckily, we came at a time when it wasn't too crowded. We ordered the ube and matcha swirl as well as a taiyaki with cookie butter. The cashier was quick and friendly. Total came out to $9 which is pricey in my opinion, but I thought the taste would make up for it. Ube and matcha swirl: Honestly, the ice cream was just okay. I definitely could taste the ube flavor, but the matcha flavor was weak. Additionally, the ice cream was not creamy. It was slightly icey. Somisomi's ice cream is much creamier, so I was disappointed with With Love's quality. Taiyaki with cookie butter: I really liked their taiyaki! It was crispy and slightly sweet. The cookie butter was great, but I just wish there was more filling. I do think their taiyaki is better than Somisomi's! Overall, With Love was a nice place to try for the first time, but I don't think I'll be back. I still prefer Somisomi, especially since they are actually cheaper than With Love with better quality.

New business right by the Regal theater!…read more No seating inside, but they have a few designated tables outside with umbrellas. I ordered the Signature Coconut Shake! There are optional toppings, sweetness level, and dairy/non dairy to customize your drink. I got the regular sweet and it was perfect for me! Slushy and so refreshing for a hot day. There are two self-order kiosks inside which helps the line go by fast. I didn't have to wait long for my drink either! A cute new spot perfect for hot Alhambra days (:

Tried the avacoconut drink and it was pretty good, but it lacked flavor tbh…read more A little bit more coconut flavor would go a long way, but also, I'm glad that it wasn't too sweet. It tasted organic. Service: Super welcoming and they were nice. Ambiance: Really small, not really a place to chill and study

My family has been going to this location for years. Every birthday, celebration, holiday means we…read moreare getting an oreo ice cream cake. We also get regular scoops, the pre packaged quarts, and sometimes the milkshakes too. I'm writing this review now, after many years, because I was recently SO impressed with my online order. I ordered a chocolate ice cream cake (choco cake and choco ice cream) through the app. I was able to use my $5 off cake coupon as well. I called ahead of time and asked if they can make the chick cake into a character from Sanrio (Gudetama) instead. The person I spoke to, John, was super helpful and kind throughout the whole process. I emailed him the photo ideas I had and the cake decorator was able to accomplish the task! John was in consistent communication with me throughout my two week in-advanced order. The decorator did such an amazing job and my family was so happy with the results. The cake and ice cream also tasted delicious! During pick up, the workers greeted me as I entered. I was helped by John and he reassured me that the cake was indeed chocolate ice cream/chocolate cake. I appreciated that he checked before the outside icing went on. We are very happy with the service of the employees, the scrumptious cake received, the easiness of ordering and communicating, and the smooth and fast experience of picking up the order on Father's Day Sunday. We will be telling all our friends and family about our amazing cake experience!

After getting some nearby spa services, I thought I would close out the evening with a sweet treat…read more They have a huge menu with large variety of sweet and savory options. They close at 12 am, and we walked in around 11:30 pm. We tried to order a few of their fried items and were told that the oil was shut down already. That was a major bummer. I ordered the Mango Snow Sweet Tofu Pudding. I'm not sure if there was any "snow" or not since I couldn't tell when I opened it up at our hotel. Maybe it melted already? It was disappointing nonetheless. The egg waffle took the longest to make and it came out only okay. It was bit too soft, and that could be because we took it to go and it was steaming up. The pomelo was sour in our other dessert, so that wasn't great. Service - When I walked in, there was a girl on the phone at the register. It was a personal call and she stayed on the phone the whole time we were ordering. She barely acknowledged us and it seemed like we were inconveniencing her. Food was a miss and service was a miss. Would I go back? No.

BY GOLLY do i love this place. Not only do they have the most amazing desserts, they also close…read morereally late (12AM). My favorite late night dessert spot for sure. The mangoes they have here are amazing. Mango heaven. I be craving this place its crazy. There are so many things on the menu so theres always something new to try. If you like asian flavors this is the spot to go. Tofu dessert, grass jelly, lychee, mango, durian, taro, this is the asian dessert heaven. FOOD: Price: Pretty good ~$5-10 per dessert Mango Sweet Rolls - $7.25 (5/5) Yo this is so good. The lil jelly paper over the mango & whip cream taste so good in my mouth. It taste like what it looks like so yummy. Strawberry Waffle w/ Strawberry Ice Cream - $10.99 (3/5) There was a lot for how much it is. I like brick toast but its not the best ive tried at all. It was almost overly sweet with a lot of syrup. Couldnt finish!! It was pretty good but toast coulda been made better ok tbh i came here so many times i dont even remember what i got. But whenever I do, it is a surprise. Choose out of the many menu options to your hearts desire. Only comment ill say is that sometimes the combos may not be that sweet so read thru the ingredients to make sure it aligns with your taste buds. Half of the items are slush and half pudding. I love pudding VIBES: The seating inside is plenty, parking outside is plenty. I ONLY ever come here at night and yes it may be a lil sketchy but its not sketchy. It was a little hard to find this place but its chill. Staff was very nice although there may be a language barrier sometimes. Food came out really fast always. Great place come here al the tiem recommend :)

I wish I brought my cooler to bring these back, especially the TTB. I do wish there were better seating inside to accommodate both small and larger groups. Regardless, I have flagged this creamery because I will definitely return and will make sure to recommend to anyone I know that'll be in the area.

They don't do split scoops, but they do do a tasting trip. So I asked the worker if I can get the…read moretasting trio but just 2 scoops. I asked if they can give me one less scoop and I'll still pay the same price, because I didn't want that much ice cream. But the worker insisted that that's not allowed, and I NEED to get three flavors with the tasting trio or just get the double scoop (which is $1.25 more). That was so frustrating because I literally wanted LESS ice cream for the same price, instead, I got the tasting trio, got 3 flavors, and just threw away the top scoop, when that ice cream could've stayed in the tub. I hope management can change this policy.

We were clearly missing out; it's less than a 15-minute drive from our home. I love supporting local, family-owned businesses, especially when they offer great quality at such affordable prices. The "Nieves" are only $3, and you can choose any two flavors. That's a steal compared to the big chains, which charge around $7 for two scoops. The portions are generous, enough for sharing! They offer Chamoy or Tajin on top. My wife had chocolate, and my son got strawberry; they both loved how smooth the ice cream was. I was told their ice cream is either water or milk-based. I'd heard the Chamangos were a must-try, and that's an understatement. I asked the staff for recommendations, and she was incredibly sweet and helpful. I asked her to pick her top three flavors, and she chose lime, watermelon, and mango - they were excellent! I added Chamoy and a bit of Tajin. We're definitely coming back; I will absolutely get Chamangos again!

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.
