A friend took me to 626 Ice Cream (626 hospitality group) and I was so impressed. I was able to try a sample of all the flavors - unfortunately the mandarin was being phased out - I bet that one would've been amazing too! I ended up getting a kiddie size cup with yakult and mango sago and it was the perfect nightcap for the evening. There was a line, but the wait was not horrible, plus the parking lot had ample space. I'll definitely be back.
626 Ice Cream is well worth its hype. They make yogurts with Asian inspired flavors. It happened to be around our plans and we went right when they opened at 7PM on a Saturday. There were already people waiting and a decently sized line began to form! Despite the growing crowd, the person who helped us was very friendly and encouraged us to try all the flavors if we wanted to. While we tried each flavor, she described each of its components in great detail - something I truly appreciated!! Everything was delicious but I personally ended up getting the Mango Sago and Vietnamese Coffee (probably would not mix the two next time lol but delicious individually). The mango sago tasted like fresh mangoes and reminded me of a rich high quality mango sorbet. SO. Good. The perfect summer treat! Vietnamese coffee tasted exactly like how the drink would taste, which I was honestly surprised about since coffee ice creams are flavored a bit sweeter than the actual drink. It was perfect for me but may not be everyone's cup of tea because it does have bitterness :) The ambiance in there is amazing - details in every cranny and nook of the space. It's retro and very chill / relaxing! There are a very limited amount of tables but I did see stacks of plastic stools for people to sit on outside. Also there's a coin machine where you can purchase lactaid. A small gesture keeping the community in mind haha.
Visited 626 Ice Cream and was surprised at how long the line was. The interior of the shop is small, so most of the queue is outside waiting. After waiting for 20-25 minutes, the staff provided me samples of all the flavors if you are a first time comer. I ended up getting the mango sago and ca phe sua da (coffee) with toppings for ~$11. The mango sago tasted like a mango sorbet while the ca phe sua de had a nice bold bitter coffee taste. Both flavors had a texture similar to frozen yogurt rather than traditional ice cream. Although the flavors are unique, the long line and price point might be off putting.
What a hidden gem but expect a long line! Came here on a Tuesday night and somehow beat the crowd. They are incredibly generous, offering samples for each of their flavors, hence the long line. They definitely could make their workflow more efficient to shorten the wait time. I opted for the black sesame and mango sago, which were creamy, packed with flavor, and not overly sweet. There's limited seating inside so expect to stand outside while eating or take it back home. Definitely will be back!
I had a great experience at 626 Ice cream! The flavors they have switch up and are very interesting and on theme to "Asian" flavors! The staff is super friendly and offered a sample flight to try everything- and went out their way to explain each flavor too. I chose their mango sago and yakult, which was refreshing and accurate to the flavor! I love the topping choices they have- some uncommon ones such as peach osmanthus tea and haw flakes! My partner got the cafe sua da and condensed milk which complimented it well. The cafe sua da flavor was pretty strong! I normally can't eat a lot of sweets but I was able to finish a regular on my own because it lived up to its "not too sweet" description! Nonetheless, dont let the lines discourage you! The service takes their time with each customer! The store itself had limited seating but i like how there are stools outside to sit on!
I loved the crossword puzzle on the window that customers can do while they wait in line. It's such a fun concept! Anyway, I got the cà phê sũa dá (coffee) and condensed milk with red bean oats and Cinnamon Toast Crunch as my toppings. WOW. It was absolutely delicious!!! The bitterness of the coffee soft serve with the sweet (but not too sweet) condensed milk was perfection. And WOW can we please talk about the RED BEAN OATS?! I literally want to buy a whole bowl of that alone. Sooo good and great textures. Customer service is excellent, and the vibe inside is so cool. There's really nothing like it in my experience. Can't wait to go back!
The ambience inside was super cool and I can definitely see why there were a lot of people hanging out with friends! The staff was especially sweet and patient and made sure to describe all the flavors and was super helpful with offering samples. The flavors were also very in depth and strong and I like how they rotate their flavors so I can definitely come back and try new ones. It was a bit on the pricier side with a regular ice cream and toppings costing $10 but definitely nice if you're gonna share with somebody for a little treat. Parking is pretty convenient as the parking lot is a decent size.
I'm a really big fan of soft and Asian flavors so I was dying to try this place. The service was exceptional here as they gave us free samples and provided us with a detailed explanation of each flavor. Yakut (5/5); This was actually so refreshing and probably better than the actual yakult. It was like a fresh light sweet creamy milk without the sour aftertaste I would like to come back to try other flavors
Update: Came back on Mother's Day to try their Mango Sago flavor and I am so glad that I did! Food: I tried all the different ice cream flavors and though I am bummed that the honey misu garu isn't here anymore, the mango sago and condensed milk flavor was incredible! Service: Great service as always! We were a group of 6 and the staff were incredibly patient and kind to us! Ambiance: Such a cool interior, we love the ambiance in here! Overall, hoping honey misu garu comes back!
Such an interesting place- the decor, the opening hours and the ice cream flavors! It's giving late night vibes especially with being open from 7:00 PM until 11:00 PM / midnight and the moody lighting. A line formed right before they open with dedicated customers waiting patiently. Seating is very limited and many people take their ice cream to go. Families, young adults, teens, grandparents- people of all ages come here. Atmosphere is cool, decor is fun. I'm amazed about the flavors they've concocted. During this visit they had condensed milk, mango sago, yakult, black sesame and Vietnamese coffee. The Vietnamese coffee is spot on (I should know I'm a viet girl who gets her viet coffee from time to time). Mango sago was delicious and yakult's flavor was perfect, too! The condensed milk- I couldn't really pick it up flavor wise but I'm thankful for having it along side the viet coffee which balances out the bitterness beautifully. The consistency of the soft serve is impeccable. The topping choices are *chefs kiss*. So Asian, so beautiful. Service was great! They let you try out the flavors before purchase . Luckily they don't have a lot of options so it didn't take forever while waiting in line. I heard they rotate different flavors every week and a half or so. Get ready to come by when the weather gets warm!
First time visiting--I drove 45 minutes to check it out, and honestly, I don't think it was worth the trip. I tried the blueberry fig and the mandarin flavors, and the blueberry fig was WAYY better. The mandarin was just too tart for my taste. As for toppings, I really liked the mochi and almonds. Service was decent, and the ambiance is cool and vibey--it feels like being in a wine bar, but for ice cream. I do appreciate that they're open late.
My wife and I came by to 626 Ice Cream earlier this month to redeem the deal from the SGV Passport. It was for a Buy 2 get 2 free deal and it included toppings. I wrote a review a year ago and wanted to update it as it was still a 5 star experience for me! They open at 7pm and there were already people waiting in line. The shop rotates flavors often and the soft serves are all good! This recent visit was great! The staff let us sample per usual and explained how we could redeem our offer. My wife ended up getting 4 different flavors. The Blueberry Fig (dairy free), Mandarin (dairy free), Nian Gao (red bean) and one of my favorites the BLACK SESAME! We were able to choose 2 toppings each and we got them all with lids as we were going to take the other 2 home. They also offer some of past flavors as pints and we took home the Coconut Pandan (dairy free) that one is tremendous, btw! The location continues to be one of a kind from the tables and seats to the unique flavors of soft serve! Customer service is still great and the flavors are elite! Thanks again, 626 Ice Cream!

Came here for a late night dessert and it definitely hit. Flavors lean more Asian style, so nothing is overly sweet, which I really liked. You can sample before choosing, and every cup comes up to two flavors. . Really liked the Yakult and condensed milk. They also have a bunch of toppings (3 for ~$1.95), so it's easy to mix and match. Parking was easy, service was friendly. Just expect a bit of a wait on weekends. read more

This place is fantastic for unique soft serve flavors. I tried the mango sago and yakult and it was a lovely pair. Toppings are 3 for $1.99. The peaches in osmanthus syrup was a lovely touch. They rotate their flavors and have at least 6 at any given time. Some of the past flavors in rotation are ruby apple, nien goa, pandan coconut, POG w mango, ube I will return to try them all. It was a very nice treat on a warm summer evening. The doors open exactly at 7pm and the line starts forming 5 min before opening. It's a real treat!! read more

This place lives up to the hype of new trendy LA ice cream places. I love their motto of "Not too sweet", a phrase that is a high compliment in the Asian-American dessert community. Their flavors are very unique, with yakult and misugaru being some of the stand-outs. They also have fun toppings like mochi and sago! I really liked the service because each staff member was very accommodating and let us try as many flavors as we wanted! They also gave us some stickers to take home :) Loved the late night vibes and all of the fun board games they had laying around for people to play! read more

626 Ice Cream is a popular ice cream shop for a good reason. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. They will also provide free samples and an explanation for each one you try. Every month, they create unique flavors and a few dairy-free based ones. There is at least one dairy-free flavor, which is great so there is something for everyone. On this visit, there were two! I ordered their Blueberry Fig which is described as "bright wild blueberries married with jammy figs". It has a similar flavor profile to açaí. I added cocoa nibs and goji berries for some added texture. It was light and refreshing. I finished mine very quickly! I also ordered their Mandarin to go. This one has a tart and citrusy flavor. It's also light and refreshing. I added cocoa nibs and goji berries to this one as well. I love their interior! It's unique and on-brand. There are very few tables and seats. There is one table with a chessboard laid out. If you're looking for more ice cream, they also sell pints that are no longer being served in their monthly rotation next to their register. My husband got the Coconut Pandan. We enjoyed that one very much! The coconut flavor was not overpowering and the texture was creamy. If you're looking for an ice cream spot that produces unique flavors in-house every month, give this one a try. It will not disappoint! As always, great job, 626 Ice Cream! read more
Rosemead and the Viet Garvey scene are starting to blow up. An ice cream place that is only open late at night, with cool Bosso Nova music blasting, mood lighting, and a long line around the block? Felt like I was somewhere more exciting than a suburb. I ordered the probiotic ice cream and mazapan toppings, which was good for my late-night digestion. I like how they keep their menu simple, like In-N-Out. Picked up a sake ice cream carton on the way out. read more
my friend and i stopped by here for some late night ice cream - we came here on a friday night around 9:45 PM and there was a line out the door. we waited around 10-15 minutes which isn't too bad - the inside had a very small and had nice ambiance but seating is very limited - we were able to try some flavors inside which was nice but we ended up getting the mango sago and condensed milk flavors with mochi toppings. we got it in a kid size which was indeed the right amount for us. the mango sago has the right amount of mango flavor; this was my favorite out of the two. i'm not a big fan of condensed milk but this condensed milk flavor was pretty good and it didn't have a weird taste that i personally find myself when tasting condensed milk. - the service was fast and the workers were so nice. they were very patient with us when we were trying out the flavors. overall, would love to come back here again since they do switch out their flavors! read more

This place has very cool and unique flavors (often inspired from Asian cuisine) but the line is way too long and the selection of flavors is lacking. They do have limited time flavors and rotate frequently which is cool. They let you try each flavor once you're inside (the space inside is VERY small, with very few seating). They have free stickers for you to take which is cool. Decor and vibes on the inside is geared towards the younger generation. Not very family oriented or for kids. It's honesty overhyped. read more
Seems like their ice cream flavor rotates out every so often. Sad that i wasnt able to try cafe sue da. When you get their regular size, you can choose 2 flavors and if you want toppings you can have up to 3 choices. I ended up picking blueberry and nian gao. The blue berry was tart and the nian gao was creamy so it was a good mix. I added ct crunch, mochi, and oreo to make it a little sweeter as the soft serve isnt too sweet. Also came before there was a long line so she gave us a sample of each flavor. I was trying ti see which ones were yogurt and which ones were soft serve as a party member is allergic to yogurt and she kept offering yakult samples.. which wouldve been a nogo for someone allergic. I guess it was loud in the store so she couldnt hear. Seems to have lots of parking but be prepared to wait because samples take a while if everyone is trying them. read more
Amazing soft serve with so many amazing flavors! Apparently they also rotate them every few months. I really enjoyed the mandarin and yakult flavors. They also have a lot of pints with flavors not shown on their menu as well. Many are vegan, and definitely Asian inspired. Besides the bomb soft serve, the workers are so friendly and welcoming. I felt very comfortable in this shop. Parking is plenty, and the aesthetic is hard to beat. Highly recommend!! read more
Haven't stopped thinking about this place after going over the weekend. The soft serve is so creamy and unforgettable! Parking is widely available within the lot. People will even sit outside of the shop's parking lot spaces if there is no seating inside. They have numerous small stools for guests to use and move around for seating. The staff is extremely friendly and extremely knowledgeable about each individual flavor. Samples are highly encouraged by staff and provided in tiny souffle cups. There's a variety of asian toppings to accompany the soft serve too! Pints are also offered in a small freezer at checkout. A fun bonus is the free sticker at the end of the line. The stickers change frequently! The yakult soft serve was yogurty and tart. The condensed milk soft serve was very creamy and not too sweet. The mandarin soft serve was tart and orangey. The nian gao soft serve tasted exactly like a nian gao. The aftertaste for the soft serve really lingered for this one. After all the samples, I ended up choosing yakult and condensed milk for my final cup. There were multiple toppings, but I really enjoyed the soft serve plain. I hope to come back again soon for the same flavors! Also looking forward to trying any new flavors in the future. Really love this place... there's nothing else like it! read more
This is such a unique ice cream shop! They offer Asian-inspired ice cream flavors. You can also get Lactaid for $1, if you need it. The vibes are also really cool, especially at night. I went here for the first time on 2/25/26. You get to sample all of the flavors. My friend and I shared the Kid's size, which was plenty for us. We tried all of the flavors and decided to get condensed milk and mandarin. The tartness of the mandarin balanced out the thick creaminess of the condensed milk. I also really liked blueberry fig. There is some seating available in the shop. Plenty of parking. read more

This ice cream shop is pretty much the only dessert place in this area that opens late. The service is always really fast and we're super helpful despite the amount of people there crowding inside. The ice cream is fine, they switch out to unique asian flavors every few months and some are great but some are really a miss for me. Its a great place to hang out and if u can get a nice table too. Great for a quick dessert stop too read more
I love that they specialize in Asian flavors. Tonight I got half ca phe sua da and half condensed milk with Reese's Cups, Oreos, and mochi. The condensed milk cut the sharpness of the coffee, and the toppings provided a variety of tasty textures. Service is great here. Everyone is so nice and helpful! When it isn't too busy, they will check if you want water while eating your ice cream outside. So sweet! This place would also make a nice date night. The music is chill and lights are turned low. Come check it out! read more
huge shoutout to Donny for helping us out tonight!! because of his service i was inspired to write him a deserving review: WOW, I know this place is called 626 Hospitality, but I had no idea how much the staff goes above and beyond to give us as much information as possible and share their passion for the place. It was our first time here, and Donny was more than happy to let us sample all the flavors. He gave extremely detailed descriptions, which made the soft serve sound so appetizing ~ and truly intentional. What's unique is their quarterly rotating menu. It's not every day you see a modernized Asian-flavored soft serve shop. It definitely stands out in that way. We were also introduced to traditional Chinese toppings like plum powder (it added an extra tang) to my blueberry froyo, hawthorn, and so much more. The place is amazing! There's seating indoors and outdoors, and the purple and yellow really add to the vibe :) I also loved how they leaned into lunar new year - which flavors represented prosperity, luck, peace. Our orders: Blueberry Fig + Mandarin Nina Gao + Black Sesame both with a variety topping read more

Came on a Friday night & the line was out the door! But the ice cream lived up to the hype with their unique flavors. We ordered the yakult & mango sago and both were super delicious! I'm usually impatient when I see long lines like that but it's worth the wait! read more
626 Ice Cream is such a fun dessert spot in the 626. They offer unique Asian inspired flavors like Yakult, condensed milk, blueberry fig, mandarin, black sesame, and nian gao. I loved that they let us sample everything and the staff was genuinely friendly. I got the black sesame and nian gao swirl. It was creamy, nutty, and just sweet enough with a soft chewy texture from the nian gao. The shop has a chill vibe inside with seating outside as well. I would definitely come back to try the other flavors. read more
Pretty cool ice cream shop that is open late. The line may look long, but moves quickly. My partner and I were able to sample some flavors before ordering. I really like the condensed milk flavor, which is sweet and creamy. The yakult flavor is a close second. The flavors do rotate every now and then, so certain flavors may not be on the menu anymore. For what you are getting, I do find it to be a bit pricey. Adding toppings will cost extra. The soft serve is served in a cup, in which you can choose up to 2 flavors per cup. Since it seems that this shop is quite popular, it would be great if there were more tables and seating available. The shop is very small and feels like a tight squeeze inside. read more
Such a great spot for a sweet treat! Their ice cream is exactly as they describe it, "not too sweet," which perfectly captures all of their flavors. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, offering us plenty of samples and walking us through each flavor to help us find what suited us best. I really appreciated how knowledgeable and patient they were while we decided on our order. I ended up getting the mandarin and mango sago flavors, and both were so refreshing without being overpowering. Will definitely be back! read more
This is actually a place that lives up to the hype. They truly mean it when they say "hospitality" because we got the warmest welcome possible. We came in a group of 4 and it was two of our first times there so they gave us a sample of every flavor they had. They made a lineup and described all of them in detail while we were trying them. My favorites ended up being the yakult and ube vanilla. The former was sorbet-like and lighter, so I was shocked that I liked it since I don't enjoy sorbets and the latter was creamy and sweet with an earthy taste. I also really enjoyed the condensed milk and chocolate mint but alas, I can only choose up to 2 flavors. It's a pretty good portion of each which was nice for sharing but you can also be selfish and get one all on your own, which I will do next time. read more

If a joint was all vibes 626 Ice Cream would fill all those categories and then give you some extra on the side. Even when you queue outside the store (it looks like you're waiting to get inside a Subway because of the strange placement of their entrance right next to this place) you can see how city pop really influenced this place. The moody lights of red, blue, and yellow with low lighting set the tone. The music melodically plays out a selection of different genres of music from Asia with Japanese city pop heavy on rotation. The love for the 626 is everywhere with different stickers splattered everywhere on the façade with designs showcasing those numbers. They even have a crossword puzzle to help pass the time in the queue whilst you wait outside to get in. Interior - "A speakeasy for desserts" Once you step in you get to really see the place come to life. Whomever decided to design this interior was a genius. With a nice balance of maximalism and functionality the interior has spaced filled to the brim with interesting art, props, and lighting without limiting movement to get from one space to another. There is a huge love for tigers as a generous amount of them can be found all throughout the space. It feels like wherever you look you can see an interesting nook somewhere. Food - "Misnomers" Although this place is called 626 Ice Cream in truth they sell soft serve. This is an important distinction since if you came expecting ice cream you might be disappointed. When we came unfortunately a few of the soft serve machines were not working so their menu was more limited than usual. When you walk up to the counter the staff are so friendly. They explain to you what each of the flavors are and ask what samples you would be interested in. We tried the blueberry fig, the condensed milk, and the Yakult. The blueberry fig tasted like a sorbet with balanced flavors of blueberry and fig. Not as sweet as you would think, the slight tartness tingles the tongue. The condensed milk felt the closest to a vanilla ice cream. This is the one you'd most likely consider to be ice cream flavors if that's what brought you here but not too sweet. The Yakult tasted very much like the drink but in soft serve form. Perhaps a little bit more tart than the drink but it could've just been accentuated as it became more concentrated as it melted down. All in all, 626 Ice Cream feels like a speakeasy for soft serve in a town where such a thing would seem impossible. The vibes are immaculate, the design is fantastic, and the staff are generous. The only thing that'll give you pause might be what actually brings you here, the dessert. If you want to hang out at night with friends and chill at the closest setting of a lounge without the alcohol, 626 Ice Cream might be the perfect spot for your and your homies. read more
A small hole in the wall that has absolutely delicious ice cream flavors! They have seasonal rotation of ice cream flavors that are novel and delicious, not too sweet and yet super flavorful! They have a yogurt flavor ice cream that is reportedly all year round. I went with a friend and we waited about 6 to 7 minutes around 8 pm. There were plenty of toppings, but I really liked the mochi one the most. The serving size was also very good. There is ample seating in the ice cream shop, but I can see that it can get packed easily during peak hours. Anyway, highly recommend recommended for a chill evening with friends with some delicious ice cream! read more
So happy that there's a late night ice cream spot that's open until midnight in Arcadia, when most things close pretty early lol. I came here about 15 minutes before closing and the staff was very kind and didn't rush us at all. The girl at the counter let us try literally every flavor, with such a sweet attitude about it as well. We decided to order the Yakult and Yuzu sorbet. Both of those flavors were light and refreshing! The scoop size was pretty good as well. They let us sit in the store and enjoy our ice cream until midnight, and then invited us to sit at some of the tables outside if we liked. I'm glad they changed their flavors every so often and I'm excited to see what they come up with next! read more

Have heard a lot about this place and finally got to try it. Went right before it opened for the night and there was already a line outside! I can't even imagine what the line looks like between 9-11. The menu flavors do rotate so think seasonal. They let you try all the flavors which is nice. After trying a few, I went with the condensed milk and the blueberry fig. Ube vanilla was almost made the cut but I think the other pairing made more sense. You can add toppings to the soft serve for an extra $1.95 which I did of course. I wish there was more fresh fruit toppings. I do like the decor. Reminds me of like old school meets like LA graffiti. Team was very friendly and moved the line along quickly. Sadly very limited seating so most likely you will take this to go. Good news is that it's in a plaza so there's plenty of parking. read more
