I actually had no idea that Awan was a vegan ice cream spot but was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, I was not a huge fan of their other flavors so I appreciated that their staff was patient and allowed me to sample their flavors beforehand. For example, I thought their "coffee" flavor is overwhelmed by the taste of coconut. However, vanilla bean works quite well with coconut and the strawberry flavor completely masks it with its tanginess. I can definitely see myself going back just for their vanilla bean ice cream.
The flavors here are definitely super unique here so try it before buying! You can tell all the ice cream is made from great quality ingredients and not too sweet. No seating there specifically but right next to there's an opened area where you can eat your ice cream or grab coffee!
Do you like unique ice cream that isn't boring??? Well you have to try this place out. The flavors were so prominent and tasted exactly what they were. It's a small place so it's a perfect place to grab and walk around with. The place feels like it was placed there from a movie in a different country. I loved the aesthetics.
Okay I'm gonna need everyone STOP with the Gelato and IceCream for a second and go to AWAN. This is my new cold obsession and I'm upset that I by passed them in WeHo a very long time ago. The new Melrose location is STUNNING! Like i'm ordering in a StarWars set in Disneyland, it's like walking into a Star Wars Cave. So check this out AWAN is Vegan Dairy Free Indonesian inspired IceCream. This is so Mind Blowing. Please check out this place and ask to try all the flavors! Staff was amazing, Street Parking and Credit Cards Accepted
I've tried multiple flavors at Awan, the texture is always great! You wouldn't even know it's vegan. Creamy and doesn't melt fast
My family and I got the matcha, caramel, and coffee flavor. I was very impressed by the quality of the dessert and would recommend going here. It's aesthetically pleasing inside as well but there's a lack of AC since it's fully open doors. Parking is street metered or residential. There are a couple of seating areas as well. Service is great and they offer free samples
Such a cute spot with amazing ice cream. You wouldn't even know it's vegan. The staff are kind and let you sample different flavors before choosing. We sat outside and enjoyed it especially because it was beautiful outside. There is no indoor seating so you either sit outside or walk around. I wish I could go back just to try that mango ice cream again
Very unique architectural design, staff was friendly, the place is clean. The ice cream though, a tad too sweet for me and overpowering the other flavors, the creamy texture was there. I tried the chocolate Oreo ice cream and vanilla beans.
Awan has been the best gelato i've ever had and somehow it's vegan?! Not only is this place so freaking cool, the gelato is absolutely unmatched. I got the seasonal white peach and birthday cake flavor and it was unreal! The texture is like custard, it's super thick and doesn't melt easily. The flavors are all so unreal, you can't go wrong. This is an absolute must in LA!
Honestly my favorite place to come by and get a late night or after dinner sweet treat. I do prefer this location over the weho one due to parking restrictions. I personally love their dayglow coffee flavor and I have brought multiple friends to visit and they have all really enjoyed this place. Service is amazing as always with free samples.
Extremely underrated ice cream spot, I had the vanilla and absolutely loved it. It was not too sweet and was the perfect mix of vanilla / coconut flavors. I also really enjoyed the gula jawa shavings they put on top. Service was awesome and let us sample as many flavors as we wanted before ordering (they have so many unique ones that use Indonesian flavors), and the orange interior/exterior of the shop was such a cool vibe.
There's a lot of really cool flavors, but unfortunately when I went a lot of the flavors were out . The employee did help us try all of the remaining flavors, which were all good and was super nice
This was one of the coolest architectural ice cream places I've been to. The flavors are standard but in a different way, there's a twist to it. This is an Indonesian flavor inspired place which for me is a first of its kind. The worker was super friendly and allowed us to try samples of the ice cream. It was rich and creamy and not overly sweet. You can taste the subtle flavors of the ingredients. There were a few places to sit but I imagine when it's busy you probably won't get a seat. The only downside is that it's a bit on the expensive end. Portion is good, vibes good, ice cream good. Also a nice place to take pictures!

The ice cream shop itself is pretty small with just a window to order from. I think they share the space with Dayglow, so we ended up sitting on the benches at the Dayglow cafe. The ice cream is coconut-based and really good! Some of the lighter flavors had a little too much coconut flavor for me, but the Oreo Chocolate was so delicious. The Strawberry was also good! The worker was really nice and let us try several flavors before we decided what we wanted. read more

Their slogan is, "It's not ice cream." So, I'll say it is one if the best frozen treats or non/m-dairy ice creams I have ever had. My Wife and I saw this place while planning our vacation. We didn't realize it was dairy free at the time. We learned that upon arriving. Their product is made with coconut cream. It is easily the best non-dairy ice cream I ever had. If I wasn't told it was dairy free and tried it, I wouldn't have known. It's not just really good for non-dairy ice cream, it's a top tier product no matter the category. Even comparing it to ice cream it's in my top 2 or 3 easily. We ordered the chocolate oreo, sudachi lime and white peach. My favorite is the chocolate oreo. My Wife's favorite is the sudachi lime. The texture and consistency of all of the flavors are perfect. Chocolate Oreo - 9.3 The texture of the oreo is perfect and flavor of the chocolate is great. Sidachi Lime - 9.5 The lime flavor is authentic and hits you without being overpowering. There also seems to be some type of condense milk like substance swirled throughout. Maybe a coconut derived equivalent White Peach - 9.0 Great natural peach flavor with the perfect amount of creaminess. read more

Great service for gelato testing. This coconut based Indonesian inspired gelato with pure palm sugar topping grating is impressive. Awan used premium ingredients that come with Hollywood price tag. Unique & chic shop with 24/7 self vending gelato machine. Just have to deduct one star because of no parking & no free water for high prices gelato. I do love how smooth, soft & well blended gelato without milk. Recommended Pandan pineapple & butterfly pea with yuzu flavor. read more

This is a place of miracles! I've watched vegan food skeptics take one bite of their coconut-based scoops and literally drop their jaws. Conversion complete. Awan has become part of our LA ritual. What really sets it apart is their creativity and the fact that they're executed so well. Nothing tastes "alternative" or compromised here, just rich, creamy, and craveable. My personal favorites are the Gaviota Strawberry (thankfully available year-round) and the Shinko Pear + Ginger, which has the perfect zing without being overpowering. Come curious! If you're not sure, the workers happily provide samples and give solid recs. The artsy aesthetics, laidback vibes, and Indonesian flavors would make any date or hangout here feel like a mini-vacation! Whether you're vegan, dairy-free, or just here for good ice cream, this spot proves that plant-based can be just as indulgent, if not better. Put this ice cream cave on top of your bucket list ASAP. read more
Plant based ice cream spot located in the Larchmont area. I've been to the location in West Hollywood, but this was my first visit to Larchmont. Similar menu with tasty flavor. They're all coconut based I think so you'll have a hint of coconut flavor (at least with the flavors I had). But this is seriously delicious ice cream that taste, it's all plant based, so it's pretty darn amazing if you are looking for a dairy free dessert option. Service here is very friendly and helpful as well. The vibe here is chill and it feels like you're going into a cavern to order and enjoy your treat. I can't remember what I exactly ordered but one of the flavors I got was strawberry and it was amazing read more
Ethan at this location was the best - got me samples of just about everything to try!! I ended up getting the vanilla, which was amazing. All the flavors I tried were delicious though. This location is like being in a cave, very fun. Overall, I really like when people go out of their way to make sure you have a positive experience, and this was exactly that! read more

place is quite cozy and unique ~ simple but comfy. my destination is san diego and seriously drove to los angeles only to grab this dessert. very interesting when reading the flavors but came here and not get what i was looking for: gula jawa salted caramel and golden sesame & kluwek chocolate stracciatella. came again the next day and still not available ~ aaarggghhhh!!! i feel disappointed, i really want those two flavors... finally order pineapple pandan, blue yuzu lemonade, gaviota strawberry, and balinese vanilla beans. will say all good and the flavours are quite strong and good. for the balinese vanilla beans, they put grated gula jawa and so good. will you open in bay area??? i really eager to get the kluwek and gula jawa though... read more
Indonesian inspired ice cream or gelato. Awan means cloud in Indonesia. It is cloudy or dreamy. I would be cool if they had more flavors. Service is good Ambiance is unique. Overall ok, just a slight more than what i expected for value read more

I feel like $11 for a cup of ice cream is ridiculous. It was definitely the best vegan ice cream I've had, but personally the price just isn't justified. The store itself was very aesthetic and and a cool place to hang out. read more
I found my place for indulging in some guilt free ice cream! I found the entrance and the seating style quite cool. I was also happy to see limited options to choose from and could taste tested each of them. I feel quite overwhelmed when there are 50 options to choose from. The menu here is limited offering not so regular flavours. We had the one with mandarins first. Tasted very fruity and less sugary. The ice creams here are vegan and coconut based. After finishing it off within a few minutes, we next ordered chocolate Oreo. I'm not an Oreo fan but I am for sure buying this flavour often here now ... Again less sugary, very light on Oreo taste and definitely guilt free. Small cup $6 , regular $9 read more

Would definitely come back! It was so good! Would honestly give 5 stars because of the quality but all of the flavours that we did want to try were out of stock. But overall, would come back again! read more

Awan is one of my favorite ice cream places. Parking is relatively easy, just find street parking in front of the store or on the side streets. There is some seating inside on the side but not big enough for a large party. Awan has seasonal flavors. They always surprise me with their new unique flavors. They are able to create the flavors perfectly. I tried their Sobacha and Apple Oat Crumble and it was amazing. Very delicious and refreshing. I loved it a lot. Very smooth and creamy. read more
I love a dedicated vegan ice cream shop, and the staff at Awan are very nice, so I will forgive the somewhat pretentious atmosphere (at least, for an ice cream shop.) The flavours here are very very good. Lots of fresh fruit involved and interesting combinations. And there's coffee next door in case you get the craving! read more

I love Awan's special vegan ice cream. Especially their original one is my favorite. It has some coconut flavor and vanila. And my husband also really liked his ice cream. Their space is not that big though so cute and cave vibe interior. I really like this theme. The staff is so patient and kind. I love AWAN! read more

such a quaint little place for indonesian ice cream!! its a literal hole in the wall and has really cool orange geologic vibes to it. it was my first time having indonesian ice cream too. i like coconut milk so i dig that its the base for most of the flavors :) staff is nice and friendly! let me try lots of samples. i tried the caramel, coffee, vanilla, and golden sesame. i was leaning towards the coffee one but i opted for golden sesame since it was a limited time flavor! golden sesame was nutty and had chunks of dark chocolate mixed in like stracciatella! my friend got strawberry and pineapple pandan! both were good but strawberry stood out to me. its the best choice for a tart flavor!! if i was in the mood for fruity, i would most definitely get that one. store only has 4 tables along a bench by the wall. it wasnt too busy when we went so we were able to enjoy inside. they also have a vending machine for pints if you want to buy them read more
For a vegan ice cream spot, Awan is actually really solid. The texture is creamy and the flavors are unique without tasting overly "plant-based." Even if you're not vegan, it's still a great place to stop if you're craving something sweet. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area. read more
I usually don't like ice cream, but Awan has completely elevated the game and taste!!! Their ice cream is a work of art the taste and consistency. It's so rich and creamy without being overly sweet, and the flavors are incredibly unique and delicious. They always switch out flavors by season and everything is made with coconut!! So my lactose intolerance ass isn't sitting in the toilet tonight!! I've learned that it's always worth the wait, no matter how long the line is. I'm willing to stand in line every single time because I know I'm about to have the best ice cream! My go to is the yuzu, vanilla, chocolate, and honestly the split scoop is the way to go$$$$$ Awan never misses. read more

Awan in Larchmont is giving fancy cave in the best way. You order through a little window, sit if you are lucky, and eat ice cream surrounded by terracotta arches like a dessert goblin with taste. The hojicha and Balinese vanilla were rich and cozy, and the cantaloupe melon was bright and refreshing, it literally felt like biting into melon. Hard to believe it is vegan, slightly tragic some flavors were out of stock, still very worth it. read more
Awan blew me away with how unbelievably creamy and rich their lactose-free ice cream is. All the flavors looked amazing and the blue yuzu lemonade was super refreshing. On top of that, the space has a super cute, cave-like ambience, which takes the experience to another level. Whether you are lactose-intolerant or not, this spot is a must-try. One of the best ice cream experience I have ever had. read more
Awan continues to make some of the best vegan ice cream in LA, solid service, and a very unique ambiance as well. The only downside is they have a limited selection of flavors. Personally, out of all the samples I've tried, only the strawberry really stood out as truly worth getting. The Larchmont location has a lot of competition, since Salt & Straw, Jenni's, and Bacio De Latte. I think Bacio De Latte might be the best out of these. read more
