This used to be my go to ice cream spot before Sorry Not Sorry Creamery opened. I still have select flavors that I like here, such as the jasmine milk tea and cookie monster! My mom's go to is either the saigon coffee (as pictured) or the jasmine milk tea. Along with our double scoop today, we took a pint home of the jasmine milk tea as we love the subtle flavor of the jasmine and the creaminess of the ice cream itself. Service was great-- we went around 2 pm today and there was no one given it was a weekday. They tend to get busy during nights since they're open late. But keep in mind, they do open later towards the afternoon (12-2pm depending on weekday vs. weekend). It is quite small in the shop, but all the times that I've been, the line has been managed well. read more

You can't go wrong with Afters Ice cream. There are vegan options and they have Mint Cookie Monster!! Mmmm!! 1 scoop: 6.25. 2 scoops: 7.95 3 scoops: 9.75 Customer service wasn't the nicest, but the ice cream never disappoints. read more

I love the flavors here at Afters. They have a really good selection of unique ice cream flavors like matcha strawberry crunch, Thai tea, milk and cereal, Cookie Monster just to name a few. Their most popular flavor is the Cookie Monster so we decided to try it. It definitely didn't disappoint, creamy, soft, loaded with flavors. Service was great, the guy was really friendly and helpful. He let us sample some flavors before choosing the one we wanted. Location was clean and minimal. Plenty of outside seats to enjoy your treat. read more

Afters Ice Cream - Cookie Monster - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cerritos, California

Located off 183rd St in Cerritos. Parking shared with other businesses in the plaza. No tables or seating inside here and it's not that big inside. They do have a good amount of flavors to choose from. I got the Dubai chocolate bar it was good. The gal working was friendly and helpful. Overall not a bad spot I haven't had Afters Ice Cream in a couple of years. read more

Decided I wanted dessert before lunch (am I weird for doing this?) Since my friend always talks about this ice cream shop we decided to finally grab ice cream here. The worker was super friendly and let us try several samples which was so helpful given their ice cream flavors are so unique! We each got 2 scoops. My friend got the 1 scoop of the biscotti and 1 ube brownie. I got 1 scoop of the dubai chocolate and 1 matcha berry crunch. Ice cream was so good I'm not sure why I didn't consider this ice cream shop before. I'll definitely be back to try their other flavors. read more

Their Cookie Monster flavor is so good. Their vanilla is money. I need to go back asap and try more flavors!!!

Delicious gluten free and dairy free ice cream, the Mango Sorbet! The staff greeted us right away and suggested the mango sorbet. The decor is cute and fits the theme of Afters. The mango sorbet was creamy and light at the same time. Will be back! read more

Perfect late-night stop when the ice cream craving hits. Great flavors, generous scoops, and a fun, relaxed vibe even after hours. Sometimes the best desserts are the ones you find when most places are already closed, and this spot definitely delivers. read more

Can't go wrong with ice cream! All the flavors are good and they also have vegan options. I like that they didn't mind that me and my kids tried a bunch of flavors before deciding. We went right when they opened which was later around noon. The store is very small but clean and there are a couple tables to sit right outside. read more

The staff was really nice! They let us try the flavors and my favorite was the Ube fudge which is weird cuz I don't like fudge but it balanced well. The only bummer part was the patio was not opend and the guy kept squirtting us with the water hose we were just sitting on the curb. He didn't ask us to leave he just kinda rudely said you cant be here patio is closed. It was kinda rude but he always was not inside so he was not part of one of the nice people. This was my very first time here a d would have to say it was a so so experience, just cuz it felt like he was purposely hosing towards us to get us to go away. That is the reason for the minus one star. But everyone eles was great! read more

Afters Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cerritos, California

Came here with my daughter for a quick dessert snack. There wasn't a wait so the staff was quick and attentive. Very patient with us and let us try a few flavors before making a decision. I haven't been to an Afters ice cream in years so all I knew was milk and cereal and Cookie Monster. I tried their salty Oreo and that was delicious. My daughter really liked it so we got a single scoop, half half Cookie Monster. It came out to $7 in a cup no toppings. This location is in a busy plaza but there's plenty of seating outside and plenty of parking. The store itself was very clean and easy to navigate. All in all a good stop in for a quick bite of ice cream. read more

I became a big back because of this place. The flavors they offer are great and many exclusive

Definitely needed a sweet treat after eating some hotpot at Broth! My friend and I found this nearby and walked. We tried many samples but we ended up going with the first flavor we sampled hahah. I got the saigon coffee! I did sample their new matcha berry crunch flavor and it tasted really good but a part of me wished it was just plain matcha. I sampled the milk and cereal flavor and that tasted good as well! read more

Afters Ice Cream - Saigon Coffee (small) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cerritos, California

Driven past this location several times. It appears like a busy location. I have big teens that have mentioned going here. With the first week of school coming I took my child and a friend after a playdate. The wait was short but the service was colder than the ice cream. I smiled and took the initiative to say hello because apparently it's not a word that is automatically said when they make contact. I always give the younger generation a pass because this may be their first job. This time was a little different, the young lady had a blank stare, we had a full stare down, she did not crack a smile or ask any questions (how can I help you? would you like help choosing a flavor? we offer samples, would you like one?, do you need a little more time?") there is endless options :) As we were all first timers, I said something to initiate the flavor debate and a young man that heard me, chimed in and started giving us his recommendations. He was so sweet and funny. We actually took his word and went with it. We then over heard the person ahead of us discussing how they do not accept cash, figuring out what payment method they will use. I wanted myself to use cash as I had a wallet filled with money from a cash job. This also added to the whole experience as negative. After I paid it was just like, next! There is something special about going to get ice cream with your friend when you are a kid. My parents would make it a fun even if it was the local Thrifty's ice cream. That may be skewing my expectations. We actually knew the people at the ice cream corner and would get greeted. I understand how much times have changed but for the cost of ice cream (everything) nowadays, every dollar spent has to feel good and worth it all around considering the choices in Cerritos. I would rather spend my money at: Wushiland Boba across the street (they are so friendly), Snowflakes on South (Super friendly) Brusters (love the hustlie from the workers behind the window) or the Dairy Queen (where they have Blizzards and you don't expect to pay top dollar for a scoop) --- There is room for real improvement... The best part of this location is the outdoor eating area. It was shady and quiet when we had our ice cream. Good corner spot and there is plenty of parking. I am unsure if I will return, the ice cream was good (reason for the 3 star rating) but Cerritos has options considering it cost $30 for 3 of us (the kids got one scoop and one topping). read more

Awful service. This location has the most dense, unfriendly, unauthentic servers. Too bad!

Service was beyond disappointing. We came in with a party of 15 and initially had three employees helping us in the small shop. One of the servers suddenly stopped serving our group midway through and moved on to the next party, leaving the rest of us waiting much longer to be helped. It also felt like we were being rushed through the process, with most of us not even being given the opportunity to sample flavors. When I politely asked the employee to please finish helping our party first, she visibly pouted, barely put any ice cream on the sample spoon I requested, and then abruptly walked away saying to her coworker, "I just can't." No explanation, no apology -- just rude and dismissive behavior. Unfortunately, the employee who replaced her was equally cold and curt. I grew up in a family business, and while I don't believe the customer is always right, I do believe customers deserve basic courtesy, professionalism, and respect. Going above and beyond may not always happen, but simple manners and decent service should still be the standard. Very disappointing customer experience overall. The ice cream which should have been the highlight was as great as ever. Afters Ice Cream always tastes great with the widest selection, so I'll always be a patron. read more

Delicious ice cream creations that pair different items. Great service. I had the Cookie Monster, which is the color blue!! It was yummy. With that, in the same cup, I had Ube Brownie, which had bits of Oreo cookie in it! I will try more flavors in the future! Outdoors seating, if available. In a popular, busy parking lot. read more

This is a popular SoCal ice cream shop. They have a lot of unique flavors and the staff is friendly.

Otherwise, this place is usually really solid. read more

"So, I bring you ice cream, after the lovin'. With a pint I just bought, yesterday." - parody of "After the Lovin'", Engelbert Humperdinck. Cash not accepted I remember seeing Afters Ice Cream on a segment of the KTLA Morning News, promoting their sticky bun, perhaps over a decade ago. A donut with ice cream inside, I knew right away a sticky bun wouldn't be for me. Why? It would be cloyingly sweet for my taste. Shortly thereafter, a location opened up in Cerritos, after I believe their original location in Fountain Valley. Many moons later, Afters Ice Cream finally showed me what they're working with. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Ce6ZN3XQv_iwFsDkwNyFZw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Customers are allowed to sample to their heart's content. Popular flavors include Cookie Monster, Vietnamese Coffee & Ube. After a few minutes of sampling, Jasmine Milk Tea stood out the most. Jasmine Milk Tea- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=CXPfcbwHwTCeFWMNEC6MTQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Slightly denser than soft serve, Afters' ice cream melts quickly! After a couple spoonfuls, the Jasmine Milk Tea was already melting. Being only a low 80's day in July, I can't imagine what the mess would be taking a pint home. Anyhoo, back to the Jasmine Milk Tea. Tasting floral & earthy, just as it's namesake, the ice cream was smooth & pleasing. Nothing fancy or extra added to it, for the Jasmine Milk Tea was fine simply on it's on. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ua8hbUeUweHxmD-gS6e6FQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. I was promptly told cash was not accepted, with a sign also at the beginning of the line for extra emphasis. There is a patio with tables to dine at. Afters Ice Cream is located on the right of Jersey Mike's, across from Mi Burrito Grill at Plaza 183. After all these years, after visiting many ice cream shops, after not visiting for so long, I can say I've experienced Afters Ice Cream. Their ice cream is good, but something to be consumed ASAP. The soft consistency makes melting an issue, so eat it as soon as you get it. $5.95/single scoop is a little pricy, but I did enjoy the Jasmine Milk Tea & look forward to trying the rest of the menu. read more

I've always been a fan of afters for their cereal flavor combinations. I came here on a Friday night with my husband and there was a line (it went by pretty quick though) This location is def a hangout spot for teenagers, younger adults. Food: 9/10 We ordered the cereal milk and biscoff cookie. The icecream was very creamy and smooth, with chunks of cookie pieces in each! Cereal milk was a milky flavored icecream with frosted flakes weaved into it. Biscoff tasted just like cookie butter! They were both not overly sweet but enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. Price: 9/10 I got a split scoop. Id expect to pay anywhere between $5-6 for a single serving and about .75-$1 for another scoop. Ambiance: 6/10 I dont recall any seating inside, but there is open space inside and out side the store to stand and hangout. read more

Came to this parking lot because I saw there was a Dairy Queen online. Then I noticed while driving there is an Afters Ice Cream! So many yummy flavors and the Salty O's is so good! I wish they would create a reward program for repeat customers, will definitely be back. read more

I love a good scoop of ice cream and especially the flavor variety at Afters. A small store with a line out the door, but service is quick. Samples are the best, especially when almost every flavor sounds so good. My most recent visit was a tough choice as each one I tasted I would definitely order. I went with the most odd combo, but yet it worked so well...Jasmine and Mint! I am use to ordering 2 flavors as 2 scoops, but they allow the smallest cup to have 2 flavors. Amazing! I was plenty satisfied and loved that option. read more

I think the vibe Afters gives is some combination of 2015 summer, and post-KBBQ sweet treat. The lines here have died down quite a bit since then, so we were served right away! They have a ton of creative flavors, but my go-to anywhere is coffee, so I was glad they had Saigon coffee. My only complaint would be the flavor was a little too sweet for my liking, and probably could've had a bit more actual coffee flavor. This might be a plus for some, though! This is definitely a SoCal classic, and I recommend everyone try it! read more

I loveeeeee afters. My favorite thing is the cookie monster ice cream. It tastes SOOOOOO amazing. The service is also always pretty good. I don't usually have any complaints. The interior of the building is very clean and fresh. Sometimes it is a little hot, but usually it's a good experience coming here. read more

Thank you Afters Ice Cream for doing a collab with BT21. For real, BTS is our ultimate favorite group! The merch was adorable. But now let's get on to the ice cream. We ordered the On Cloud flavor. It was vanilla based with sprinkles, pound cake, and fruit (jam?). It was yummy and reminded me of something the BT21 characters would eat. The Strawberry Milk flavor is definitely something the BTS guys would be eating! My favorite go to flavor at any location is the Saigon Coffee. It's soooo good! The service at the Cerritos location was good. I'm not sure if they had an insane amount of BTS Army come through, but if they did, they still have great service! Purple hearts to the staff. My kids love the Cookie Monster flavor, that is their go to order. But if you like coffee, I really suggest trying the Saigon Coffee flavor. And I'd you're BTS Army, go and try the 2 flavors and get some merch! read more

When we walked into the store it felt like it was 80° and they asked us to keep the door closed! I got the Dubai chocolate and the ice cream was so soft that it was melting by the time I sat outside to eat it! I would've taken a picture of it but I had to quickly scarf it down before it turned into a milkshake! Never going back. So ridiculous for the price. I will stick to Handels at the LBX. read more

Came on a weekend after dinner and there was no line. Plaza had plenty of party and shop is really small so not really seating indoors. Some spots outside but more of a pick up and go spot. Samples were allowed and service was quick. 9.5/10 Cookie Butter Single Scoop $6.25 - Highly recommend this flavor! The biscoff cookie butter flavor definitely stood out, really creamy with small pieces of cookie. Definitely second best flavor after ube brownie. read more

Afters Ice Cream - a person holding a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cerritos, California

Visit on October 30 at 7:30 PM When I visited, there was a young female employee--she looked under 20--working alone and very busy. When it was my son's and my turn to try samples, she handed us the tiniest amount imaginable--barely the size of a pinky toenail. I thought maybe it was because she was busy, so I didn't mind. After ordering our ice cream, I realized the portion was a bit too much for me alone, so I reached for one of the small cups stacked on the bar to share with my son. That's when she snapped at me, saying, "You're not supposed to touch that," in a harsh and disrespectful tone. I honestly didn't know it wasn't allowed, and there was no need to speak that way. I truly hope the manager takes a moment to observe this employee's attitude and professionalism from a distance. Customers shouldn't have to feel humiliated while enjoying ice cream with their kids. Otherwise, people might start saying this place serves not sweet, but bitter ice cream. read more

Family and I took a trip down to Socal. We were introduced to this spot. Arrived around 8:30pm and there was a long line outside. There were So, many choices. We tried the cookie monster, ube, cookies and cream. ALL OF IT WAS DELICIOUS! My family are huge on ice cream. In our opinion, they were better than Baskin Robins. We will definitely be back. read more

Went last night around 11:45. I love afters and I have a pretty standard order salty os and Saigon coffee. I got home and put my ice cream in fridge for later to my surprise later there was fudge or chocolate sauce all at the bottom of my cup. I never asked for it. Honestly wondering why the girl had taken so long. I regretted not standing there watching but the other girl was already charging us at cash registrar. Anyways wish I had got the name cuz it really ruined my ice cream for me. read more

Afters Ice Cream is just the best. They have several locations and all the ones we have been to our wonderful. The service at this Afters is fantastic. They go out of their way to explain what they have and you can have a taste. Some are different colors and unless an employee tells you what it is, beyond the short description, you won't know if you will love it. There are a few that are too sweet for me, that my grandson just loves. To each his own. They have a lot of flavors and they do change. I love any of their chocolate offerings. My grandson wants the sweetest thing he can find and then tops it with so many toppings they need a bigger cup. They also have a bun, much like a donut, that is warm and they will stuff any ice cream you want into it. I loved it, but could not finish it. It is just a lot for me. My grandson on the other hand loves them and eats it all. They are great. The place is always spotless, the service is fast. You will love it. read more

This is a cool casual spot to grab ice-cream and the staff always lets you try samples before buying.
