“Visited this location earlier this week after finishing the day at Universal studios.We were the only customers in the store. Had a small cup of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. The ice cream was delicious and of perfect consistency.The store is at the perfect location in Universal city walk. The staff could have been more friendly though. The store ambience is also nice.I felt the small cup was a bit pricey but then what is not pricey in today's market.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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“
“The gelato is expensive but really good. I tried a few before landing on pistachio and hazelnut. Got it in the house made vegan waffle cone which was tasty. $10 for a single scoop 2 flavors in waffle cone for reference. Really good natural flavors, worth a stop. The lady serving was very friendly too“
“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.“

“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!!“
“Omg this place is super cute and it's on Fairfax right in the midst of all the great shops! I love the inside decor- simple, clean, and colorful! Very nice wall art! And the ice cream flavors! Wow! I ordered the Brown Sugar Cookie Dough and it packs a good sweet punch! Tasty and just the right amount of sugar and cookie doughs! Love it!!! Shout out to Emily who helped me out! Can't wait to try out another flavor! Will be 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“
“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“
“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“
“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“
“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!“
“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. ✨“
“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“
“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“Soooooooo dreamy! We had the Nutella option. Ice cream was creamy and not overly sweet. Great flavor and balance. Customer service was courteous and presentation lovely. Very busy place and since they are hand rolling the ice cream, plan on a little wait. It's well worth it! We'll be back again for this little scoop of heaven!“

“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.“
“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.“
“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.“

“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“

“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.“
“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.“

“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.“
“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).“
“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.“
“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.“
“If you're near Universal Studios and have a craving for some delicious frozen yogurt, Menchie’s is the place to go. The self-serve setup is quite fun and lets you get creative with your concoctions. Start off with an empty cup, move along the diverse range of flavors, and mix and match to your heart's content. The portions are impressively generous, ensuring you get value for your money. The cherry on top? The vast assortment of nuts you can sprinkle on your treat. Since the price is determined by weight, you have the freedom to go light or indulge a bit. Highly recommended for a refreshing treat after a day at the studios!“
