    Who knew?

    If location, location, location are the words to live by in real estate then choices, choices, choices are the words to live by in sweets and boy oh boy does Wanna Chill deliver! Not gonna lie, it was a little overwhelming, until the Marvelous Miss Maya came in to save the day!!!! 2 out of three of us were having trouble deciding. One of us, the lactose intolerant one, asked Maya for help. Maya drooped in with all of the knowledge needed to help out dairy free diet kiddo find the perfect treat. Then it was my turn. The mom who doesn't want to spend money or calories unless she can have exactly what she wants how she wants it. Maya is a girl's girl, because she hooked me up with exactly what I needed. Thanks for the great service! Even at the end of their day, Maya and company were all smiles, so helpful, and made my group feel like we were at a party. Highly recommend.

    Single serving of Dole wHip Pineapple Dole Float

    Best place to get Dole wHip this side of the Pacific Ocean. If you don't feel like traveling all the way to Wahiawa or Disneyland to get soft served Dole wHip or a Dole wHip float, come to Redondo Beach and treat yourself at Wanna Chill. The servers today were great and friendly. Awesome atmosphere! Also, the servings were generous compared to the House of Mouse.

    Every kind of ice cream you could want. Scoops, sundaes, waffle bowls etc but ALSO shaved ice creations and ice cream nachos but ALSO every kind of yummy bubble soda and Hawaiian juices and Japanese fish ice cream bars and even DOLE WHIP.....this place is ice cream nirvana. Service was fast and friendly but it takes awhile because each item is special but hey when you get a warm gooey fudgey brownie in your sundae, you give zero effs about the wait. This place is awesome. Lots of outside seating too but great to take it to go and get out of the way!!

    Big kahuna shaved ice to-go

    I love shaved ice & ice cream together, so I'm happy to have this place in the South Bay! The staff were friendly and quick. Sadly my critiques are that the base ice cream scoop seemed super small and I was also surprised that the "big kahuna" was a lot smaller than pictured (still large but not like the picture). I didn't care for the peach flavor, it tasted like weird canned peaches. I'd do all watermelon next time.

    Dessert in Redondo Beach, California... After viewing the sunset at Point Vicente Lighthouse, we looked for a nearby dessert, and "Wanna Chill" popped up on our Yelp apps. We found an easy free parking space right in front of the shop. There was a line out the door, but we eventually got to the front. I wanted the (cute) Kid's Bear dessert, but the cashier said they didn't have it - even though I showed her my photo of the picture menu. Shucks! I quickly had to decide on the Non-dairy Chocolate Chip ice cream. It's made with Oat Milk. It was OK. It wasn't as creamy as real ice cream, but at least I didn't have pain after eating it! Yay!

    Small ice cream shop with a large variety menu. Service was quick and it didn't take long to get our orders. Their prices are a lot cheaper than other ice cream places I've been to, but the quality is still great. I got one scoop of the pistachio ice cream in a cone and it was more than enough. My other friends were feeling adventurous and got two scoops of different flavors - they all enjoyed their choices! My only complaint is I wish there was actual seating. There's an open area outside the shop that they could put chairs but otherwise I would come back to try another item on their menu!

    Frozen yogurt - dole pineapple
    Danni Y.

    So many different options! I got the dole whipped pineapple frozen yogurt which was sweet but balanced with the tartness of pineapple, very thick consistency My friend liked the big stick shaved ice Would want to come back to try the ice cream stuffed in italian bread It can be super crowded but service goes quick, the inside is a bit small.

    A couple time a month I come here! Always friendly prompt service no matter how busy! Great ice cream flavors to be made into sundaes, malts, floats etc... They also have shaved ice! Always fun and Chill vibe for the whole family or a date!

    We always love Wanna chill. Amazing shave ice, drinks, and ice cream and they have amazing customer service. Friendly staff and family vibe. Is a great place to chill in the hot day.

    Lime and blue bubblegum shaved ice

    First time at Wanna Chill and didn't disappointment. My son loved their shaved ice! Will go again.

    Located off Pacific Coast HWY in Redondo Beach. Parking is shared with the other businesses in this little strip area. This place has it all from ice cream to shave ice to other cold delicious desserts. The place is kinda small so I can see this place packed with the line out the door due to all the options here and especially on a hot/warm day or evening one can imagine the crowds especially the beach crowds since it is close by the beach. I got the chocolate malted crunch ice cream it was good almost like Thrifty lol. There is no restroom here or any indoor seating, basically it's standing outside and eating kind of place. Overall they have a good selection to refresh you on a hot/warm day.

    Honestly while a bit pricy, their Dole float was really good with authentic Hawaiian taste. Frozen yogurt is a must try also.

    I'm glad this place was not all hype. We went a little out of our way to try it. It was pretty late…read moreand there were still people showing up so thought this was a good sign. When I asked what the cashier thought about a couple of the flavors I appreciated her honesty. I ended up liking the coconut chocoate chip ice cream. The graham on was also really good and had great texture (reminded me of chocolate malted crunch in a way IYKYK). My son tried mint chocolate chip and mud chocolate and he liked both. The portions are hearty! It was so good I'm amazed I actually almost ate the entire thing and this was following a filling dinner. I want to go back for another one! I just saw there is one in Manhattan Beach. Yay! Parking: Large private lot for the shopping center. Decent spots. Not too big, not too small.

    I come to this location all the time but never really pay attention to the pricing…read more The other day, I asked the girl at the counter if the small is the smallest size they have and she told me that there is a scoop that is at $2.50. I think, great since my elderly Dad is diabetic and shouldn't have a lot of ice cream, so I went with that but in a waffle cone, she said that would be $3.50. I said that's fine, I will have one in flavor A and the other one in flavor B, total came to $7.35 And I asked her to put the ice cream cone in a cup, so it would be easier for him to eat in the car as it was extremely hot that day, and I don't want it to drip all over the car. When she gave me the ice cream, it was both flavor in one cone. I told her I wanted 2 separate cone instead of all in one. And then she said it would be another $7, I was in a hurry, so didn't really put too much thoughts into it, and just charge it. So now I look at my charges, so it turns out the same serving, one is at $7.35 and the other is $7. When I get the ice cream, I asked her, so there nothing that is smaller than this. She said there is, but not in a waffle cone, it will be extra with a waffle cone. So I asked $2.50 in a regular cone and additional $3.50 for the waffle cone? She said yes!! I am still confused as to whether they have a smaller serving than small and how much it is. I check on the pricing people posted here and don't see a $2.50/$3.50 smaller size showing. It remains a mystery to me, and I really wanted to know as it will be a hot summer, both my elderly parents, who are diabetic, would probably asked for ice cream, and I really don't want them to have a small each on their own, since it is still a decent size and they don't like the same flavor, so they can't really share a small one.

The self-serve frozen yogurt machines stood before me like gleaming monuments to dairy perfection. I grabbed a cup with trembling hands, positioning it beneath the first dispenser. The creamy ribbon of vanilla descended in a perfect spiral--smooth, pristine, impossibly white. I pulled the lever on the chocolate swirl. The moment it touched my tongue for a test taste, time stopped. Rich cocoa notes exploded across my palate, balanced perfectly with tangy yogurt cultures. Not too sweet. Not too tart. The temperature exactly cold enough to refresh without causing brain freeze. My taste buds sang in harmony! But the true battlefield lay ahead, the toppings bar. Fresh strawberries, gleaming like rubies. Mochi pieces that promised chewy resistance. Chocolate chips, cookie crumbles, crushed Oreos, gummy bears in every color. Nuts, almonds, pecans, walnuts waiting to add textural complexity. And the sauces! Hot fudge, caramel, strawberry syrup, positioned like weapons in an arsenal. With surgical precision, I assembled my masterpiece. Fresh fruit for brightness. Mochi for chew. A strategic drizzle of caramel forming golden rivers through vanilla peaks. At the register, the final moment: the weigh-in. Worth. Every. Ounce. As the first complete spoonful entered my mouth, all the elements united--creamy, crunchy, chewy, fruity, sweet--a symphony of texture and flavor that could only be described as... PERFECTION

    $4 Freezes, yes please!…read more I've frequented Bruster's Real Ice Cream a few times for their ice cream but it was the first time recently that I tried their freezes. The freeze consist of 4 scoops of their sherbet, sorbet or Italian ice along with a whole bottle of Sprite. Once in a while, Brusters will have special nights when they do $4 freezes and this was exactly how i got to try my first freeze. The freezes are quite the deal and treat for the summer. They are so refreshing and tasty. I chose to get a peach freeze and enjoyed it a lot. My friend got a black raspberry freeze and this was also quite tasty. For four scoops of a sherbet, a freeze is definitely a treat and an indulgence! I think I may have found my new favorite treat at Brusters.

There was a new flavor called pineapple upside down cake that had caught my eye so I handed him my credit card and told him to hook up the household. It's nice that you get credit toward future purchase discounts which are appreciated. I ordered a large that comes with 4 scoops. Besides the new item, I added cherry vanilla, rocky road, and butter pecan. Guess I was feeling a bit nutty. The pineapple was a little too cakey for me but I'm glad I tried it. Variety is the spice of life right? Hadn't had butter pecan in ages so that was a walk down memory lane. A Bruster's day is always a good day. Love my ice cream.
