“One of THE BEST spots in Silver Lake/LA BY FAR! There is nothing quite like Mashti’s. Not only do they have flavors for everyone, but their flavors are beyond delicious and interesting. Also, I have to applaud the excellent service. The blonde female worker (I believe her name is Hadley) is especially friendly and kind. Always the best at Mashti’s!“
“I ate here for the first time today I had a burrito and my friend had a quesadilla. The food was delicious it had that real authentic Mexican taste &’ and you get a good portion for the price you pay they have good salsas overall everything was amazing. Their customer service was astonishing they made me feel at home super friendly staff they go above and beyond for their customers I will recommend this place to people from now on I can’t wait to come back :) such a hidden gem in LA best of all it’s Latinx-owned!“
“Woooooow! The food is A+mazing! The first time I came here I ate the food so fast I didn't get a chance to leave a review. I came back again because I like their sweets. Last time, I had ice cream and their Ashta, and it was perfect. This time I tried their crepes and they did not disappint. If you want sweets, then this is the spot to go.The atmosphere was nice, service is great, and the place is well lit.“
“Cookies like no other! I love the excitement of checking the weekly menu every Sunday and seeing the big reveal. I went to the location in Cerritos for the first time while my car was being serviced and have been back at least 3 times. So satisfying!! Waiting to see what’s available next week!“
“I probably come here more often than I should. Its definitely not good for my health and calorie intake but the cookies here are just so damn good. I love how they switch the flavors every week so you don't get bored. Everything I've tried has been solid. No complaints.“
“Best authentic Mexican ice cream in the area. I refuse to go elsewhere. The store owner is so sweet, and the business is family owned. The prices are great and affordable. They have an adorable patio outside there shop. They are also dog friendly!“
“Banger Gelato/ice cream spot. I loved the unique flavors, the cashier serving us was gracious enough to let us try a bunch of flavors, and although there is limited seating inside, the outdoor seats are a vibe. I opted for the Ube Mochi flavor and the pistachio. The ube was very flavorful, and I did enjoy the mochi bits. For mochi being in a cold dessert, it was surprisingly still really soft! classic flavor, but I've never seen it be done gelato style so this was good! The pistachio is classic and it was just so delicious. Pistachio can be hit or miss for me but this place is definitely a hit. I'll for sure be back!“
“This place has some seriously legit ice cream. It has the texture of soft serve but all the punch of real top notch ice cream. It's smooth, creamy, and very flavorful. I absolute loved the Rice Krispie and fruity pebbles cones--they add the perfect extra punch and crunch to the ice cream. The store is quite small, but the line moves quickly and there is some seating outside. You can get a regular cone, a cup, or a Rice Krispie, fruity pebbles, or cocoa pebbles cone. They also serve a caramelized waffle you can use to scoop your ice cream if you like. Overall I really, really enjoyed this spot. It's some of the best ice cream I've had in a long time. Definitely recommend this while in Los Angeles--it's even worth a drive across the city.“
“Located right on Green before Wilson, only street parking available. Absolutely love their Thai Tea soft serve. They do have other flavor drinks available, both hot and cold. Freshly made cookies also for sale. You do have the option to make the soft serve into a float with different tea options. If it’s your first time here get the “Trophy” which includes all the toppings except for Oreo crumbs. No tables or public bathroom, just a single bench seat while you wait for your order.“
“Amazing ice cream with tons of different flavors, handmade everyday. The milkshakes, malts, banana splits, and etc., are just as amazing. The price is just right for premium handmade ice cream. You can even get a pint or a quart of your favorite ice cream(s) to go if you really want. The only downside is that there is no indoors, you order your food through window openings at the counter, while standing outside. But it makes sense, since there really isn't enough room for an indoor section. It's not a big deal though, as once you get your ice cream you can jump back in your car and finish it at home.“
“I love how they put black bean in the sandwiches and they also have couple of protein options the. Ice creams do taste like real fruit and I am so happy to feed my kids once in a while so they too try other fruit in a different form than at home. Is always crowed and I find it so con. Eminent always to just call and place my order for pick up. I'll be sharing picks once I get my food and ice cream because I am waiting in my cars for it to be ready“
“Great spot ! I was greeted with a few samples and a warm welcome as soon as I walked in. I ended up going with the mango strawberry soft serve which is dairy free and delicious. I got the shortcake version which Coke with condensed milk, berry crumble and strawberries. I would like to come back and try their mini pancake plates. They have lots of seating inside and a fridge with some drinks. The size I got was small and it was $8.50“
“Highly recommend this place ! I stopped in for my first time and the owner went above and beyond in making sure I had a good experience. One of the friendliest people I have met in awhile. I ended up trying the pineapple and blueberry with the oat milk soft serve topping and it was great. The texture of the ice is so nice. Definitely will be back“
“This is my partner's ALL TIME FAVORITE ice cream spot! We often make the trek from the OC to LA to come here--now there's a location in Costa Mesa too. The staff are always friendly. And the decor is always super cute. I love me on of their chocolate dipped ice cream bars! ^_^“

“A gem in Little Tokyo! One of my favorite places for matcha, and my top pick is the soft serve ?? The owners' attention is very friendly. The entire staff is attentive and always greets you with a smile.The space is quite small, and every time I've visited, it's always crowded.If you want to try something authentic, warm, and delicious, I recommend this place. ✨“
“A cute place to get that sweet tasty treat.You can come in and sample the different flavors they have before you finally decide on the ones you want.The waffle cone is the way to go, get the split scoop you’re gonna want more than one flavor.Staff was great, also awesome to see Filipinos representation and flavors that people get to enjoy.Cultures are meant to be shared and appreciated.Love their fusions and seasonal flavors that change, it keep it fresh and allowing to come back to try something new.This place also has pie hole and pressed juicery inside.They have seating area by the window where you can enjoy your treat and people watch.Lots of stores that you can visit on your visit either before or after.Parking garages are close by just be mindful of the time that passes by either parking isn’t too expensive.Dietary restrictions: The have vegan optionsParking: Parking garages in different spots and easy to walk to.It’s for 2 hr parking, pay at the machine, they sometimes have workers there to assist if you get stuck or forget to pay before you exit.There is also metered parkingKid-friendliness: Kids will love coming in to taste the different flavors“
“Love this local sandwich shop with a bit of history, amazing staff, and delicious food! Not typically a sandwich person, but this place is definitely working on changing my mind! The tri-tip sandwich, available on Thursday and Friday only, is amazing, nice smoky flavor and melted cheese, works just so well. The Hey Joe sandwich is great any other day of the week if you're a meat lover - pastrami, roast beef, and a hot link! Give them a go and support, my favorite type of restaurant to support, cheers!“
“staff was great .live that we can get a kids scoop since mom has diabetes. asked for a flavor and they made a suggestion and the flavor was close to my parents liking that dad wants to go back!! staff very sweet and helpful. So many yummy combinations of flavors!! oh I want more of that sweet cream biscuits and peach jam!!“
“I love the grilled sticky rice with taro wrapped in banana leaf. They have an amazing selection of taro, coconut, and pandan desserts. Vegetarian and vegan options available. There is a parking lot, but if it’s busy there are metered spots on the street.“

“I love Bacio! The ambiance is spectacular in all of their shops. The gelato is probably the best gelato I've ever tried and I think it's because they use really good ingredients and the quality control is spot on. The service is always amazing and you can tell all of the employees really love working their because they are very warm and genuine. I can't wait for them to open more locations!!!“
“Honeymee is sooo good, even for the hefty price it's worth it.I consider $8 for a cup (125ml?) Of ice cream to be hefty because you could get half a pint of high quality gelato for that much. But again, I think it's worth it!The only thing that is a hassle about this location is the parking. It's impossible to just "swing by" to grab Honeymee , expect to pay $5 - $20 for parking.Conclusion, don't drive all the way to this location just for Honeymee. Hope they offer curbside pickup or parking validation in the future.Parking: Terrible parking situation, it's inside a plaza that has no free parking.“
“Really interesting Korean shaved ice. The ice is shaved so finely with milk that it nearly tastes like ice cream unlike a similar Taiwanese shaved ice. Tried the Injeolmi (인절미) flavor which is a Korean rice cake flavor made from glutinous rice flour and finely ground roasted soybean flour. Yum.Service was a little slow, but they also were packed with a line. The atmosphere was pretty lively.“
“Finally got the chance to try this dessert place after always passing by. I got the pure milk soft serve and 3 pieces of taiyaki in custard and red bean. The soft serve is a nice texture and it's very soft. The milk is a bit too sweet, in my opinion. And you can self serve on several toppings for the soft serve. The taiyaki is very good, just wish that it is a bit more crispy. They give a generous amount of filling inside the taiyaki. Inside is a small place. They only have a bench and a couple of stools. Overall, a great dessert place!“
“I got a coffee shake and my son got an Oreo sundae. Both were excellent. Service was outstanding as right when we walked in both young ladies got up right away and started on our order immediately. And that was at 10:30 pm a Wednesday night.“
“Omggg best ice cream place EVER! First of all, we stumbled upon this place by chance because the initial place we wanted to go to was closed. They serve vegan options here too so we HAD to come. The worker was such a great sport. She was so nice allowing us to sample all of the flavors we wanted. I ended up with the Peached & Cream (seasonal) and the Marionberry Cheesecake. *chefs kiss* both were phenomenal. Finished both of my scoops. Ugh i miss it already. all of the other flavors my friends got were delicious as well: Planet Earth (Vegan), Banana Pudding, and Pralines just to name a few :) MUST GO!“
“It’s been years since i last stopped by before I moved to Chicago. Can’t leave without having my boba. I grew up in the K-Town District. You don’t always have a chance to come back home to visit.Kid-friendliness: You can get your kid ice cream, Oreo boba.“
“The service was superb ! Lady making the drinks was so sweet with us and made great conversation. The place is cute with seating upstairs and down, it's a cute little place. The drink omg the drink was made with their homemade vanilla syrup and the chai was just amazing. Every sip and after taste that lingered was something that I wish I could have everyday and every morning. I wish I would've gotten another iced chai before I left. Definitely coming here again for a caffeine pick me up.“
“Ah yes some of the best ice cream in la! Tons of awesome rotating flavors you can even try before you buy. They had a bunch of cereal specials when I went I loved the lucky charms one! Also the resees puff one is so delicious! Will be coming back.“

“We loved our raspados and crepes from Chamo Fruit. I got the aposionada (mango-tamarindo) It was perfectly tart and sweet. My girl got the tropical (pineapple-mango) Very refreshing. The brother got the Oreo/Nutella crepes and he loved em. Thanks for the great drinks and food. The service was great.“
“Went 1-15-24. So good. Long line to get in about 7:00 pm on a weekend. The ice cream is worth the wait. They encourage you to try flavors but all of them are good. Person working behind the counter making waffle cones was doing an amazing job. I will definitely be coming back for more. Got a split scoop with two different flavors in a cup to go.“
“This quaint shop in Pasadena is a nice spot if you're in the area and looking for a sweet treat. I came here after visiting the pizza place next door. The lady helped me decide on what ice cream to get, and the service was friendly and efficient. The ice cream was tasty, great temperature (not too hard to scoop with my spoon), and no freezer burn. It's worth a try if you're already in the area or plan to be.“
“Excellent Ice Cream in favorite And Niche flavors, A rare foodie Gem. So glad this place made it through the pandemic! They’ve been taking customer suggestions for flavors and experimental since the beginning, and the affogato is unforgettable!Dietary restrictions: Very high quality Non-dairy flavors“
“This location is rather new. They have no public restrooms but great parking options. The location was nice and line moved quickly. They only had one line open for ordering which caused a little line. We got the raspberry heart cookie, lemon iced and the heart sprinkle sugar. They were a little undercooked but still tasty. This is more like a self serve. The gal that gave us are order was really nice. Ten out of ten recommend downloading the app. They have great deals on the app.“

“Love that this ice cream shop carries such a variety of unique international flavors. The staff are also very helpful and friendly. Uber crunch is absolute perfection: natural tasting ube flavor, not too sweet/sugary (for reference, I find Häagen-Dazs to be just slightly too sweet), and the crunch balances the creamy texture very well. Also highly recommend the passion fruit cacao. Japanese neopolitan is interesting, but the flavors aren't my favorite - try if curious or love matcha/Sakura/Hokkaido milk flavors. Would 100% revisit!“
“So many options! Rotating ice cream flavors, pies, ice cream “tacos,” cookies to make into ice cream sandwiches. And all made in-house. The person working there was really genuine and passionate about the shop which made the experience even more pleasant.Only downside is no samples allowed. I had the cookies & cream one and it was a tiny bit icy but good overall.“
“This is my go-to ice scream spot. I would recommend this place to anyone! It's cute for a date ( the banana split is amazing). All the flavors are true to what they're suppose to taste like. The decor is just as memorable as the ice cream.“
“Great prices and options for juice, popsicles, smoothies, and more! I enjoyed their mangeonada. I am vegan and found so many great options for me. So glad it’s in the neighborhood.Dietary restrictions: Many juices, smoothies, and paletas are vegan by default. Can ask if you have any questions about items.“
“Ice cream + donuts is always a hit! Service here is always fast and friendly! I love their Paramoreo donut with Paramoreo ice cream! (Think Cookie Monster Oreo ice cream) My only complaint is that they don't have as much donut options as their sister shop, Donut Friend. Parking can be kind of tricky as it does get busy on sunset and it's street parking only.“
“Just a lil ice cream shop in Larchmont village with some unique flavors to choose from- not the classic ones you'd see somewhere common like at Thrifty or Cold Stone. I tried the gooey butter cake and coffee with cream and sugar and it was SOOOO GOOD! Personally it is a bit TOO SWEET, however the flavors were definitely appetizing. I would come back! Just wish it'd be less sweeter (and I have MAJOR sweet tooth).“
“My visit to 88 Hotdog was an unexpectedly delightful culinary adventure, especially for someone with a penchant for creatively crafted fast food. Nestled in a bustling, crowded area where parking can be a bit of a treasure hunt, this gem stands out for its unique offerings and commendable service.Starting with the mozzarella corn dog, it was a standout in both size and flavor, offering great value for its price. The corn dog was perfectly crispy on the outside, with a gooey, stretchy mozzarella center that was both satisfying and indulgent. It’s the kind of treat that brings a smile to your face with each bite, blending the nostalgic essence of a classic corn dog with a cheesy twist that elevates it to a whole new level.The adventure didn't stop there; the yogurt drinks were a revelation in their own right. I indulged in a variety of flavors - peach, mango, blueberry, and pineapple - each one more refreshing and flavorful than the last. These drinks had a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, with the fruit flavors shining through beautifully. They were not just good; they were exceptional, adding a refreshing contrast to the savory richness of the corn dog.The service at 88 Hotdog deserves a special mention. Despite the crowded location, the employee was friendly, efficient, and quick to serve, making the overall experience even more pleasant. It's always a breath of fresh air to encounter service that is both warm and competent, especially in fast-paced environments.While the parking situation and crowded surroundings might deter some, the culinary delights and the cheerful service at 88 Hotdog make it well worth the effort. It's a small price to pay for the joy of biting into a delicious mozzarella corn dog and sipping on exquisitely flavored yogurt drinks. For anyone in the area or those willing to brave the parking challenge, 88 Hotdog is a must-visit spot that promises a satisfying and tasty experience.“
“We needed ice cream post a nearby late-night pizza slice. We needed it to be near the metro station. And we needed it to be open! Little Damage fulfilled all three of these requirements one mid-week evening after a nearby event in DTLA.The atmosphere is cool...gothy decorations and vibe with a few creative flavors on hand. Everything comes with a free topping. (at least the small size we ordered did.)One of us got Pink Vanilla, and the other Black Horchata. Only 2 other flavors were available (a vegan chocolate and an oreo based one Kiki and Cream). So there really wasn't a lot to choose from. Also It's a couple weeks after we were there and, although it says flavors rotate, it's the same menu up on their Instagram...so I'm not sure how often they do rotate...with only 4 flavors total, it seems like they might want to rotate more, or offer more flavors...honestly none of the offered flavors were all that exciting...but we were there so tried a couple.It's soft-serve ice cream so it has that froyo vibe to it. Both flavors were fine. I mean you can't really go wrong with ice cream, sort of like with pizza. I'm not sure I would write home about either the Black Horchata or the Pink vanilla as the flavors in both were pretty mild. But was a good enough sweet treat that checked off the boxes for what we needed.“
“Great little gem that me and my family have gone to for many years! Delicious ice cream regardless of weather you will find me here :)Parking: There is always plenty of free parking on the street if lot is full!Kid-friendliness: Cute tables and chairs for families to enjoy their snacks.“
“When I'm looking to satisfy my cravings this is my go to spot they got all my favorites here! In this night it was empty and I was greeted by two young girls both very kind and professional they asked if we wanted to sample some ice creams which we did not because we already knew what we wanted. Our choice of the day was a tosti-esquite which is a bag of Tostitos chips topped with all the amazing flavors of the esquite. Be careful with the chili powder that thing is spicy. To drink we got the fresa leche which is strawberry's and milk drink. It's got a nice thick consistency which I really enjoy other places usually make it really watery so this is always my go to here. For my ice cream tonight I got a lime ice cream and it was very fresh. Everything sold here is amazing the service is always great and they got this cute little cart inside which everyone loves to take a picture of. Amazing spot give them a try for your late night cravings“
“WE LOVE MAGPIES!! We got their signature cornflake pie (dairy free, yay) for our wedding and have been going back for a big slice ever since. Also if you order a pie for takeout, they’ll give you freezer packs and an insulated bag. Vegan and non-vegan options aplenty.“
“The parking structure was easy to find. I ordered the cannolis and sfogliatelles both of which were amazing. The sfogliatelles were crispy, and the cannoli shells were crunchy. The orange in the custard/ricotta was flavorful! The cashier was very friendly and prompt with serving me!“
“Anytime I visit LA Somi Somi is on the top of my list of places to go! The taiyaki waffle cone is made fresh and you get your choice of filling such as red bean, Nutella, or even cheddar! I always go for a Nutella filling which always pairs well with all of the flavored soft serve offerings. Once you pick your filling and soft serve you get to add some tasty toppings and your choice of a fresh cut strawberry or a mini macaroon. Somisomi is sure to please and I highly recommend you visit anytime you're in the Los Angeles area.“
“Salt & Straw in the Arts District is an absolute must-visit for ice cream enthusiasts. The selection of flavors is beyond impressive, with each one more enticing than the last. From classic favorites to innovative creations, there's something for every palate to enjoy.“
“10/10 would recommend!! The flavors are delicious customer service is amazing! I stumbled upon this gem when I was looking for something sweet in the neighborhood and was pleasantly surprised. They have nieve de garrafa which is my favorite!! The girl there was soooo nice that she let us try all her favorite flavors upon learning that it was our first time there. Will 100% become a regular here (:“
“yogurtland will always hit the spot. honestly tastes better than most ice cream spots, & not to mention is better for you as a sweet treat than regular ice cream. i love the flavors & toppings they offer & this location is fairly central to a lot of things nearby so it's always a convenient stop! staff is so friendly too!“
