50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Pacific Palisades

“Adorable tasty ice cream shop. Loved the ambiance here and the service was good. Grabbed ice cream after lunch as a sweet treat. Very yummy. The lines come and go, we waited it for it to go down before walking in. - Quick service - Clean - Ambiance - Tasty“

“I loved this spot! Manager was so friendly and bright, and the selection of toppings available was amazing. Even better than Menchie's or Yogurtland. The drawings on the whiteboard were cute, and with the black-and-white photos, glass soda bottles, decor, and music really made it more appealing than a larger chain.“

“I absolutely luv this yogurt! It's so rich and creamy I forget it's not ice cream. This is an immaculate store that is kept clean like every moment. The bathroom is also very nice and clean. Which brings me to Emerson the super nice fellow behind the counter! What a happy guy that takes good care of me. I watched him take really good care of the people at the counter as well. He brightens my day (way too often) This shoppe is my #1 as is Emerson*“

“I recently visited Tang and Java and was blown away by the exceptional experience they offer. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff, and it was evident that this is a place that values customer satisfaction above all else. Not only do they offer high-quality items, but their commitment to using locally sourced ingredients adds a level of freshness and authenticity to their menu that is truly commendable.What's even more impressive is that Tang and Java is a women-owned business, which makes supporting them even more meaningful. It's inspiring to see such dedication and passion reflected in every aspect of their operation.Whether you're looking for a delicious cup of coffee, a tasty pastry, or a satisfying meal, Tang and Java has something for everyone. I highly recommend stopping by and experiencing their fantastic offerings for yourself. You won't be disappointed!“

“So goooooddddd. But the passion fruit was a bit too sweet which I didn't notice when I tried a sample. But when I got it as one of my scoops I said whooaah lol but very good flavor. Very small but cute. Great customer service the young lady was very patient with me and my two friends.“

“We are from Orange County and our most favorite server, Ash, now works here. Her service and attention to detail is always next level and this restaurant is amazing.She recommended the The muscles and clams - hands down scrumptious!We sat outside by the fire! We are so happy she is now at such a great establishment. Love the ambiance and of course the service is TOP NOTCH! Smart people hired this girl!“

“Chocolate Oreo Ice Cream! Let me tell you it definitely hit the spot, one of the best ice creams I've tried I can see why it's one of their top flavors. I got the single scoop and it's a good amount of serving but I should have gotten a double scoop for sure! If you love chocolate ice cream and Oreos, then this is the perfect flavor for you. Although, there is a hint of coconut in the aftertaste in case you're not too huge on coconut. But the actual flavor overpowers it. We went late at night but the service was still good! You have to be careful not to miss the window it's right next to a small coffee shop. There's a few chairs around to sit after or you can walk around and see the other shops around. Very small space but great ice cream! I will definitely need to go back and try other flavors!“

“So I stopped in to the shop . I drive by and was wondering about it. The ice cream is great! Even. Egan ice cream! Service is good. Place nice. But ocean is so expensive!!! Got a scoop and it was $7and change ridiculous! Might come back if a special occasion. But ice cream is good“

“I recently went here for a date night out and was blown away by the friendliness of everyone who worked there. Everyone was so helpful and kind. They gave us recommendations based on flavors they thought we would like and even got us to experiment with new flavors (the balsamic and strawberry). The ice cream was delicious and creamy and the customer service was out of this world! I will definitely be coming back!!! Sonny's has it right!!“

“I first came here because it was the closest ice cream shop to our Dentist office. My son had a lip tie release and the dent recommended a cold treat for him. Soooo glad we came! First time ever having Persian ice cream and now we make it a point to come any time we visit the dentist! My absolute favorite is the pistachio rose, I love the texture of the Fadooleh and my kids love the strawberry and the cookies and cream! They all taste so homemade. I love that you can take some to go and the young man working gave us excellent customer service. He was generous with samples and recommended getting 2 different flavors per cup. It was a great recommendation because we got to try more flavors! Can't wait to come back!“

“The character of Charlie Bucket in Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is not the only one who jumps with glee at the thought of touring a chocolate factory. Let's be honest: most people, of any age, would savor the chance to see how chocolate is made, breathe in the sweet scent of warm brown liquid chocolate and sample some of the delectable treats. Did you know that this fantasy is a reality here in our very own Los Angeles? That's right! We have a chocolate factory AND you can tour the facilities! LetterPress Chocolate is the baby of husband and wife team Cory and David. Cory and David had a passion for chocolate but also for graphic design (David) and the environment (Cory). The ingredients (pun!) were in place to get into the chocolate business and infuse it with individual niche skills and thus; LetterPress Chocolate was born in their APARTMENT where the lovely scent of chocolate delighted their neighbors but their landlord? Not so much and therefore they moved to a retail storefront. For the record, LetterPress Chocolate is a chocolate maker where they actually make chocolate versus a place like See's who is a chocolatier where they re-melt chocolate and add mix-ins to make bon bons, truffles, etc. This factory and retail space can be accessed on Roberston near Mid City and Culver City in an unsuspecting strip plaza where one would think it is an actual printing press behind the brick walls versus a chocolate heaven (parking is available in front with street meters). LetterPress of course sells their chocolate bars in the storefront but also offers tours (online booking, $20/person) and this is where the fun begins! There is so much to do in LA; but touring a chocolate factory is certainly a unique and extra-special treasure that you didn't even know existed! We were welcomed by the official tour guide Wesla (LetterPress is a three-person business! How impressive is that?!) and were lucky enough to have no other patrons booked for our tour slot so we instantly felt VIP. We were given masks and hairnets (tip: this is a fragrance-free tour so no perfume, ladies! Wear closed toe shoes, no stilettos, no fur, etc; and bring a jacket as it is chilly in the cooking area). The tour consists of three parts: 1) an i-Pad slide show describing the business and chocolate/cacao itself 2) tour of the facilities 3) chocolate sampling flight The first part of the tour may sound like school work to you but it is absolutely fascinating and Wesla is a great teacher. There is SO much to learn - and you actually retain it! - about cacao, chocolate beans, trees, pollinating trees (midge flys do the work! Look them up!), the farmers and countries involved, the cost of wholesale purchasing and shipping (you will never want to eat Hershey's again!) and so much more. Additionally, you will learn about LetterPress as a business, their fair trade and environmental initiatives, their actual chocolate and even about their labeling/marketing! It's all very enlightening and extraordinary! After the brain has grown some wrinkles from chocolate education; it is time for the tour. Granted the tour is small/short and more like a kitchen area than Willy Wonka's air hangar-sized compound but it is still super fun to see the process in action and what goes into making chocolate and chocolate bars. Finally, you return to the storefront and it is time for a tasting flight of chocolate! LetterPress sells dark, milk and white chocolate (although white is technically not chocolate) and even ice cream; but the tasting on my tour consisted of 8 dark chocolate samples. Similar to wine or coffee beans; the country of origin of the chocolate pods gives the beans different flavors, notes, etc. My samples hailed from Costa Rica, Tanzania, Ecuador, Venezuela, Sao Tome, Peru and Jamaica with flavor notes ranging from peppery, nutty, floral, fruity, mocha, caramel, berries, spicy, fudgy, peanut butter-y and even banana! Once you complete your flight, you can also ask for any of the samples behind the count“

“Too cute to handle! Not only from aesthetic to display and drink quality!Hidden gem coffee spot in Beverly Hills that offers boba, coffee, ice cream and sweet tooth!Loved the marshmallow Matcha! Definitely recommended and will be back!In & outdoor seating! (3 high tables, counters, 3-4 outdoor tables)Meter parking!“

“Amazingggg ice cream! My friend and I took a long walk and were passing Salt & Straw so of course we decided to treat ourselves. We were able to try a couple because there were many flavors that were very unique and interesting. I like that they give you a real spoon to try the ice cream - that's fancy. My friend got the pear and blue cheese - what a flavor. Very strange but good at the same time. I got a limited flavor, sorry don't remember what it was called. It had cereal in it and this type of berry. It was DELICIOUS!!! I could go for another scoop“

“I came here recently on a weekend, and there was a small group of people waiting outside for their orders. It took about 20 minutes but so worth it. We got the beef and chicken curry omusibi. They are filling & well worth the price of $4.95 each. The seaweed is perfectly salted and slightly crispy and they didn't skimp on the meat which I appreciated.“

“The Ventura Blvd. location is small but it is packed with a store team that cares about the individual unique experience of each patron visiting their location. They are Super Friendly. Let me tell you right now that you will most likely stand in a small line outside the shop because once you're inside you will want to sample several amazing flavors of ice cream that will make your taste buds dance. Once you've picked your flavor/flavors, you will have a choice to have a cup or cone. I chose a large waffle cone and cup. The Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge was super delicious. We also had the Arbequina Olive Oil, it was equally as good. Thank you for the perfect dessert to cap off our date night! Yum! #SaltandStraw #LAEats #TastingTheValley“

“Goat Cheese and Black Olives ice cream was delicious. The service was exceptional and the customer service provided by EVERY SINGLE ONE of their ice cream parlor workers was outstanding. You wont go wrong visiting the Abbot Kinney location.“

“Grabbed a cup of gelato for dessert at Bacio di Latte. The place was busy on a Sunday night, with a good line but it went fairly quick. I tried the cookies and cream and the vanilla. The gelato was creamy and delicious. Only negative thing to say about my experience was that the AC was blasting at 8pm at night it felt like we we're in the back freezer. When we left, it was warmer outside than inside the gelato store.. Overall would stop by and grab a cup of gelato for dessert when in the area.“

“DELICIOUS gelato!! I’m traveling for work this week, and I always try to find a nearby gelato place. This one came up close to my hotel. I sampled quite a few flavors and already knew I was sold - ended up getting pistachio, hazelnut, and mint chip (my go-to). WOW - each tasted amazing and this is easily one of the best that I’ve been to. Best of all the portion size was very generous!!“

“Sometimes the cure for a bad day is good ice cream, and Rori's will provide it with a smile!!! I've been coming here for years and the ice cream is always so good! My favorite flavor is the malted milk ball which you will like if you enjoy Whoppers candy. It's perfectly creamy and chocolatey and just scrumptious. The cones themselves also are amazingly delicious...not every ice cream shop has good cones so this is a standout attribute of Rori's. The interior is cute, clean, and welcoming and the staff has always been very friendly. Special shoutout to the girl working today 2/27/24 at 1:30 because her kindness really improved my bad day and she was such a sweetie. I wish I got her name. My only complaint about Rori's is that they don't open until 1pm during the week. It would be nice if they opened a little earlier at let's say noon since I usually am done with my lunch break by the time they open. Come to Rori's if you want some yummy ice cream in Santa Monica! You will be very happy you did :)“

“Crumbl Cookie offers delicious, fresh cookies with a variety of flavors that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! Ordering through their convenient screen is super easy, and the service is fast and efficient. Very clean location and super cute atmosphere“

“SomiSomi Ice Cream Store is a five-star treat! With a cheerful ambiance and delicious soft serve options, it's a must-visit for ice cream lovers. Creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor, each spoonful is pure bliss. Don't miss out on their fish waffles and diverse toppings.“

“Best icecream df/gf. Kindest workers and the best owner. Always buy 3-6 pints to take home with me as I don't live in the area and it always goes so fast. The whole family loves it. They also re did their shop and it is so cute inside!! You also get points every-time you go...10 points = 6.75 off which is the best deal ever. Cannot recommend enough :)“

“First time I even noticed this yogurt shop inside of Gelson's. I figured I'd give it a try. Glad I did. First off, Fernando and Kevin are awesome. Very pleasant. Fernando allowed me to try as many flavors as my heart desired. The service he provided was excellent. I tried their sweet vanilla and vanilla tart yogurt, chocolate yogurt, and some of their ice cream flavors. Everything was absolutely delicious. I ended up getting the vanilla sweet yogurt mixed with the vanilla tart yogurt. It was the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The texture of the yogurt is very smooth. Absolutely loved it. They also have a huge selection of low carb and low sugar flavors they alternate daily (see attached monthly calendar for flavors). Looking forward to trying how these taste next time I come. Highly recommend this place!“

“Great burger ... really great. Sadly, it's overpriced for what you get. It's a thing I would only get if the line was non-existent. Standing in a long line for an overpriced burger is over-rated.The fries are spectacular. They are cooked in beef tallow...like McDonalds did back in the day.“

“The vegan ice cream is great here. We enjoyed it very much. 24 flavors, many fruity, I would say the most interesting was pickle pear, which tastes literally like pitaya fruit! We loved the flavor apple pie so much! And we got also all 3 kinds of vegan chocolate flavors. Each was perfect. And they have also vegan cones. Nice service, nice atmosphere and area. Thank you!Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled lactose, gluten, soy -free and other allergen free ice creams by symbols.“

“These cookies are amazing and delicious! I got the biscoff cookie with Nutella, M&Ms, and powdered sugar. I don’t know how that cookie simultaneously put me back in my mother’s kitchen with freshly made cookies and also in a celestial paradise of mouth-watering deliciousness. And yet… it happened. It’s a must to visit and revisit.“

“The unique flavors of paletas this business creates made my Central American heart happy! Cas, guanabana, frutas en yogur, rompope con pasas there is no flavor where you can go wrong. A great variety of flavors as well as menu items. We didn't try anything other than the paletas but will surely be returning.“

“The flavors are SO fun, and it's a cute ice cream shop on 3rd street. I loved sampling their popular flavors, like the key lime pie which I ended up getting with the mint oreo! They also offer vegan and seasonal flavors too :) The waffle cone was rock-hard but I still enjoyed it. Not the creamiest ice cream but I do love the variety of flavors!“

“I'd heard of Handel's Ice Cream, but for the longest time, it seemed I never had the opportunity to try it - I'm so glad I finally did since it was good quality ice cream! They had so many flavors! Even just their selection of chocolate options was impressive (over 20). I decided on two scoops: -Chocoholic Chunk - dark chocolate ice cream with dark chocolate chips -Midnight Madness - dark chocolate ice cream with peanut butter Oreos and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Both flavors were so chocolatey and rich, with just the right amount of sweetness. The ice cream tasted fresh and from good quality ingredients. I think a lot of times it's tough to maintain the quality of a product when there are so many options, but this place did it well (at least for the flavors I had). I'll go again on my next visit to the area.“

“When I think of the concept of the Thing Being Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts, I think of a classic slice from Magpie's. An instant family staple from the moment we tried it, years ago. You want a perfect LA afternoon? Check out the guitar shop next door and then jump straight into Little Treat Culture and get yourself a slice.“

“Jeni's is absolutely deserving of 5 stars. Starting with the incredibly friendly guy who was cheerfully dishing up yummy flavored ice cream, with perfect consistency. Not bothered in the least with the indecisive children, while making some of the best tasting freshest cones I may have ever had. Hopefully mint chip will be an option next visit!!“

“This was really, really good and very reasonably priced. Beware that a small is 2.5 scoops and just 1 flavor! They do have a 4 scoop sampler though. There were 6 of us and one of us got the sampler because he couldn't decide what to get. I had the taro single on a cake cone. It was delicious! We were all so excited to eat our ice cream that we forgot to take pictures. Sorry. Next time!“

“One of my favorite salt & straw locations is Culver bc the workers are sooo friendly and you can enjoy it on the steps after. Seasonal flavors are hit or miss, but my tried and true are the chocolate gooey brownie, sea salt & caramel ribbons, and honey lavender.“

“Ice cream is creamy and good, have it after pizza!! When I went the staff let me try as much ice cream as I wanted since all the flavors sounded so good. It's nice inside with some seating and the outside store front also has a ledge you can sit at if it too busy inside.“

“Such a great spot for a quick dessert after shopping and eating at the runway playa vista! This spot is tucked away in a corner but always delivers on delicious and refreshing flavors! The service is fast and friendly and the ambiance is great with small stores and bars right next to it. Great place to check out after grabbing a few bites and drinks. My favorite flavor is their brown butter almond brittle but their vanilla is also one of the cleanest vanilla ice creams I've had.“

“Stumbled upon Paradis after having lunch at Crave and I am so glad we did! The whole family absolutely loved the ice cream! My wife loved the Banana Sundae, but the coffee chip was my absolute favorite.Super fun atmosphere with lots of games, we played jenga and the kids loved it!Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“

“I’ve enjoyed Diddy Riese cookies since I was a child and I’m in my fifties now. I live in Northern California but whenever I come back to LA I made a vow to visit and purchase these delicious cookies. It’s a tradition for me and my family. It’s a part of my life’s story. I appreciate Diddy Riese for their affordable prices and quality desserts that they have consistently delivered for over 35 years.“

“We love having this place here! Their waffle bowls and cones are made fresh and they are delicious. Our favorite flavors are coffee and butter cake. They don't have too many flavors but enough to make you contemplate what you want to get. The shop inside used to be cute but you can start seeing wear and tear over the years. Their AC must have broken because they have 2 standing units connected by a tube from their ceiling to blow air. Rent must be high in Calabasas so I hope they can survive with costs rising.“

“I always come to drip n roll and do homework here. They have the most comfortable seats and their always so nice and never care how long we stay for homework. They make the best coffee and I come everyday from how much I crave it. I love this place and I hope you guys check it out!“

“Cute gelato shop on main street Segundo. Absolutely delicious gelato, have tried several flavors including pistachio (best pistachio I've had in my life), dulce de leche, amarena cherry and stracciatella. All the flavors are exquisite. They also have home cooked meals like eggplant parmigiana to go.“

“Amazing. Skip the overpriced stuff at other local haunts and grocers et al and go see Fernando who makes delicious juice right in front of your eyes, fresh as can be and so delicious. Lots of great menu items or buildYour own with your favorite fruits and veggies. ?“

“An extraordinary ice cream experience! If you love to travel, this creamery provides you access to inventive flavors from all over the world. Even if you don't love to travel, you can enjoy the scrumptious flavors in the comfort of your home.“

“If you are into Ice cream than Mashti Malone is the place for you. I went there for the traditional person Ice cream but they have successfully evolved in more mainstream flavors as well as created new interesting flavors like Herbal Snow which is a clever (and tasty) combination of herbs and chia seeds. They have seating available for patrons. They also have prepackaged tubs to go. Paid parking is available on the surrounding streets.Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian ice creamParking: Read all the posted signs there are lots of rules for parking on the surrounding streetsKid-friendliness: Kids love this placeWheelchair accessibility: This shop is wheelchair accessible“

“Dipnmix is simply incredible! I've been a repeat customer since it opened, and everything is so delicious!Need a comfy dessert? Grab a Nutella Strawberry and Banana Crepe!Feeling fit & healthy? Grab an Acai bowl with Bee Pollen, Flax Seed, and Granola!Thirsty? The smoothies & shakes are to die for ?Dipnmix has it all!“

“So delicious.Creamy ice cream, like homemade old fashioned style.Vegan and dairy options.Fun Sunday toppings.Quite a bit more expensive than Baskin Robbins type place - $11 for a 2 scoop cup with whipped cream, fudge, crumbles. But it tastes good and they have unique flavors. Still, when I ordered the works Sunday I expected a waffle cone for that price.“

“During my recent visit to Crumbl Cookies, I was impressed by the delightful aroma that greeted me upon entering. The vibrant and inviting atmosphere immediately set a positive tone. The staff was friendly and eager to assist, making the ordering process smooth.As for the cookies, they were a true delight. The variety of flavors available was extensive, and each cookie looked like a work of art. I particularly enjoyed the warm Cornbread cookie, which was a perfect balance of sweetness. The cookies were generously sized and had a soft, chewy texture that was simply irresistible.What stood out was the innovative packaging – each cookie was individually wrapped, ensuring freshness. The presentation added an extra touch of sophistication to the whole experience.While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality of the cookies justifies the cost. Overall, my visit to Crumbl Cookies was a delightful experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth.“

“Perfect for a beach day! The base is all Vanilla Gelato but the toppings are all so fun and different. The portion size is quite big so one can definitely be shared by two people! I felt that the gelato that comes in the chimney cake melts slower than the cup, but that might've been just our experience!“

“Great place to stop for dessert after your meal. Locally made ice creams with great flavors. Parking is sparse up front there is some street parking. There's a bathroom inside if you need it. I had some Thai ice cream that was really good I would go back. The ice cream people were super cool and very friendly!“

“Mateo's is a great place to grab a sandwich. They offer a variety of options, and the prices are reasonable. The sandwiches are definitely one of the better deals you can get in the area. Whether you eat in or take away, you get a choice of smoothie, milkshake, juice, or fresh water juices to accompany your meal. The peppers are a standout ingredient that you won't find at many other sandwich places. The ice cream is also good, but there's more to Mateo's than just that. If you're looking for fresh fruit to go, there's a bunch of prepared sliced fruit ready to eat, including coconut, strawberries, and mango. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Good service. Place seemed clean. The girl working the front was by herself & probably needed help during lunch. The fries were good & fresh. The chicken in the gyro was spiced well. They could've given more meat in the pita. I didn't like the mustard sauce they use on the pita. I'd come back & ask for the regular tzatziki sauce next time.“
