I love vegan ice cream and trying unique flavors! It's so much fun. And I love being able to write one for my 150th! My friend and I almost got lost trying to find this little shop. There are several flavors available and the worker presented the ice cream scoops so nice and smooth. The care and dedication is so nice. I'd recommend the passion fruit flavor and lychee if it's available! The flavors also change seasonally. There aren't a whole lot of tables maybe like a couple the last time I went. It feels like a cute little shop with an ordering window. read more

Tiny little shop tucked away from the main drag. Keep your eyes open to find it! A nice variety of unique flavors; the server patiently let us try a few samples before committing. Pricing is really fair. We ordered soursop, yuzu, caramel, and passionfruit. All delicious! read more

10/10 gelato spot... LA has so many good ones, but this is definitely way up there. Got the lychee seasonal flavor and it was to die for. They have a pretty small but really great selection of unique, Asian-inspired flavors. Super expensive (~$10, more if you want to split scoops or get 2 flavors), but worth once in a while/if you're splitting. Next to Dayglow, a coffee shop - super cute environment. Would absolutely come back if I'm in LA. read more

Well, Awan made up for my previous negative experience... (it was closed). This time, it was open! And thankfully, the helpful employee offered me some free samples, which really shaped my choice. Went with a seasonal flavor. Blue Yuzu! Tart, floral East Asian citrus swirled with blue spirulina (algae!!!). It was perfectly light, healthy, sweet, sour, delicious. Nicely sized, so you don't feel like you're over-eating. Really felt great during, and after eating it. read more

I got a kids scoop of Pineapple Pandan (Spring Seasonal Flavor 2026) & my fiancé got a double scoop of Vanilla & Salted Caramel. I'm vegan, my fiancé is not. He said he'd rather have this ice cream than dairy, and other vegan ice creams we've had. SCORE! This ice cream was delicious. I tried nearly every flavor! Creamy, cold, soft. Being coconut milk based, there wasn't a background coconut flavor to any ice cream I tried (which was great because sometimes coconut milk based ice creams have the coconut undertone). Perfect ice cream texture. I appreciate that they have flavors that change with the season. I love that each flavor came with a dedicated topping (mine came with a freeze dried pineapple & the salted caramel came with grated palm sugar). This Awan is operated out of a window connected to the Day Glow coffee shop (look for the blue building)! No dedicated parking lot, so street parking only. Outdoor & indoor seating available. read more

If you're looking for artisanal vegan ice cream that tastes good, then you're in the right place. This location is tucked away around the corner. Look for the blue Dayglow building, and you're in the right place. I came here because a friend recommended it. I had no idea it was vegan until I realized that all of the ice creams were made of coconut milk. My partner doesn't like vegan food but he enjoyed the ice cream. There were some interesting seasonal flavors, but I really wanted vanilla that day. Because the ice cream is made with coconut milk, my ice cream tasted more like coconut ice cream with a hint of vanilla, and very different from typical dairy ice cream that I realized just tastes like milk and vanilla. I'd be interested in returning to taste the other flavors to see if coconut is still the dominant flavor or not. But it's not a place that I would go out of my way for. It's more of a place that I'd drop by if I was in the neighborhood. I'm also not a big ice cream person so take that as you will. read more

AWAN - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I am not being hyperbolic when I say this, but as someone who has had a LOT of great ice cream in their life, Awan was probably the best ice cream I've ever had. Full stop. This place is a SUPER mom n pop Indonesian inspired ice cream place. You order at a little hole in the wall nook, but there is plenty of open indoor-outdoor style seating next to it. I believe everything is also vegan/coconut based! Now to the best ice cream I've had in my life: the one that ranks above them all is their collab with REM Beauty by Ariana Grande called "LOVE SPELL". It is Gula Jawa and Hibiscus flavored. The floral! The sweet! The hint of tangy! I quite literally experienced sensations that I've never tasted, kind of like Remy from Ratatouille during the synesthesia sequence. I loved it so much I went right back at bought a pint for $25. This is my petition to make this a forever flavor instead of seasonal!!! This was WAY too good of a flavor to be temporary!!! I also got the Satsuma Mandarin. WOW. The little dried slice of orange on top was the cherry on top. Lmao. Perfectly balanced sweet with tangy, and esp as someone who generally dislikes citrus flavors, this was a BANGER. Honestly...I'm still thinking about this ice cream. The flavors are so unique, so much so that I feel that it is quite literally art. I wish there was a location in the San Fernando Valley because I would be there all. the. time. I cant wait to go back!!! read more

SERVICE - located in West Hollywood slightly away from the busier strip of bars and restaurants - tucked into a corner behind the coffee shop in front - parking available on street or in a nearby lot - seating available in covered area or outdoor MENU - Indonesian inspired coconut based frozen desserts - all vegan/vegetarian - average price FOOD - thai tea black sesame butter crunch (/10): thai tea base with black sesame paste and cornflakes folded in. The combination of thai tea and black sesame are both bitter so when paired with the sweet coconut it made for a balanced flavored dessert. I had also tried the plain vanilla flavor but found it too sweet. WOULD I GO BACK? Possibly. I liked some of the flavors that had more bitter notes but it was not my favorite dessert. read more

AWAN - Thai tea black sesame butter crunch - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - West Hollywood, California

If you're not specifically looking for this place, you will definitely miss it, lol. It's tucked away into a corner (literally) and it's just a take-out window haha. I love how interesting their flavors are, and the girl helping us was so sweet and let us try as many as we liked! We were able to try the gaviota strawberry, dayglow coffee, thai tea + black sesame butter, nekohama hojicha, and shinko pear + ginger. Their ice cream flavors really pack a punch and everything was so flavor-forward (no delicate or mild flavors here!) I ended up getting their strawberry (so basic, but so good and refreshing), and my husband got the thai tea + black sesame butter (I loved the Thai tea part, but the black sesame was too heavy and rich for me, haha). I feel like you can't go wrong with any of their flavors! There's a little area to sit and enjoy the ice cream, otherwise I'd recommend just taking it to-go. Parking here is atrocious, even for LA standards. We came on a weekday night and there was absolutely no parking. While I liked the ice cream, not sure if I'd brave the parking situation to come back, lol. read more

8/28/2025 First time at Awan. Had it on my must-go-to list for so long! Went on a Monday afternoon. After trying Awan on Melrose Ave, it was closed. There was a note telling me that it will open at 4:00pm instead of the usual 3:00pm, so I've decided to reroute to the one at Huntley Dr., which was a huge mistake! Traffic was crazy and parking is crazier! Finally parked in a neighborhood closeby, which had parking permit signs everywhere, took a huge risk and parked. Sampled a few before deciding. The Awan employee was very patient. NEKOHAMA HOJICHA (Kids Scoop, 3oz) Cannot tell it had coconut in it! Love the creamiess of this ice cream! Very creamy and barely any coconut flavor! The hojicha was from Nekohama and it was a good quality hojicha! SPLIT SCOOP - BALINESE VANILLA BEAN This had a lovely, rich vanilla bean flavor. It has coconut cream in it, but I could barely taste the coconut flavor. On top of the ice cream was sprinkled gula jawa (unrefined palm sugar) which was unnecessary, as I liked the flavor as it was. Love the creamy, luxurious mouthfeel! Simply delicious! PEACH + APRICOT SWIRL This was my favorite! Full of peach flavor! So good! It was a though you're biting into a fully ripened peach on a hot summer's day! Incredibly fruity, flavorful, peachy! The apricot swirl added a lovely apricot zing to it! But most of it tastes like peachy ice cream. Loved it so much, I bought a pint of it. Samples tried: Gaviota Strawberry, Dayglow Coffee, Gula Jawa Salted Caramel, Hibiscus. Out of the ones I've tried, I liked Dayglow Coffee the most. CUSTOMER SERVICE Asked for a few samples and were generously given various samples. Good customer service all around. Friendly and kind! LOCATION / SEATS / PARKING This was an odd location, as it was in a small corner next to Dayglow Coffee. There are outdoor table and seats. Parking is very difficult, as already mentioned. You can park very far away and walk or park in the neighborhood parking, which has permit parking only signs all around. I took a risk and parked somewhere that did not directly have that sign over it, yet it felt a bit risky, as majority of that neighborhood had a no parking without permit sign. Personally, I would recommend a different location. I definitely want to return to Awan, but to a different location due to parking issues. read more

One of my friends introduced me to a hole in the wall restaurant - one of the employees was so happy and I loooved her cowboy boots vibe. There are a lot of fruit flavored ice creams. I'm more of a chocolate and vanilla fudge brownie type of person, and I got the regular vanilla with brown sugar. I like it a lot - it's really smooth and not too sweet. One of my top favorite ice cream spots. read more

GREAT ice cream option for people who are vegan, lactose intolerant, or just want to avoid animal fat. This tiny ice cream shop hides in the back of busy Hollywood streets. It's not easy to get to, and parking is extremely difficult in this area. For those who can conquer those difficulties, and find this small place, which does not have its own storefront, you get to enjoy some heavenly and unusual flavors! The night we went there was only one server! She struggled to help everyone who kept coming up to the window while she was trying to take a break! I've never seen an ice cream shop so small and with just one server! Maybe the business is still building! Best luck to them though! read more

AWAN is an ice cream shop with Indonesian inspired flavors and ice creams are all vegan and gluten-free. They currently have three locations - West Hollywood, Larchmont, and Venice. 4th location in Chinatown coming soon. This is the flagship location for AWAN. [Parking]: Street parking only. I found metered parking spots a block away (Westbourne Dr). [Atmosphere]: This is an actual hole-in-a-wall spot as the walk-up window is located right next to Dayglow coffee shop. AWAN and Dayglow share the seating area together so there's a common space to sit & enjoy ice cream. [Menu]: On the day of my visit, they ran out of all popular flavors like Chocolate Oreo and only had 6 flavors left (out of 10 flavors). The cashier said they will restock flavors in ... couple weeks. I sampled few flavors and ended up with vanilla bean. Kids scoop is 3 ounce for $6, single scoop is 5 ounce for $8, and split scoop is 6 oz for $10. *** Balinese Vanilla Bean (signature flavor made with Indonesian coconut water & coconut cream finished with shavings of gula jawa - an unrefined palm sugar; kids scoop 3 ounce for $6): I could taste a subtle flavor profile, but personally it tasted too dense and overly sweet. I did like gula jawa, but ice cream itself was way too sweet and I actually didn't finish the entire scoop. *** Super friendly cashier, but I prefer other Asian inspired ice cream shops like Wanderlust Creamery (multiple locations in LA) and Kansha Creamery in Gardena. read more

A really small ice cream shop that is located right next to a coffee shop. I almost missed it at first until I saw a sign with an arrow pointing. They have a small seating area which was nice since we were able to get out of the heat for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't know they offered samples. I would've loved to try their flavors before ordering. I liked that they offered split scoop, so I ended up ordering the hojicha and coffee. The hojicha honestly tasted a little weird, and left an interesting aftertaste. Both flavors weren't overly sweet and were extremely creamy. I think I would've enjoyed it more if they were sweeter though. read more

Came here the other day while we were in the area as people wanted ice cream and wanted to try Awan. First, parking is right, trying to find somewhere to park just to hop out and grab the ice cream, but such is this area of Los Angeles. The shop, itself, is pretty small, right next to a coffee shop, so don't get them mixed up. There wasn't anyone in line in front of us so we were able to order immediately. We tried different ice creams from strawberry and vanilla to coffee and chocolate Oreo. The ice cream was nice and creamy, decent flavor but there was a word after taste ish with the strawberry. The chocolate pretty was good, the coffee tastes like dude, not really standing out from other coffee flavored ice creams. The vehicle has a nice crumble on top. But, for the price point, I would say it was not worth it, especially with so many other ice cream locations around Los Angeles. In the end, decent ice cream, high price point. You just need to decide for yourself if it is worth it to you or not read more

This is a really small ice cream shop, but the long line makes perfect sense once you try it. I had the vanilla coconut ice cream and it was absolutely heavenly--so creamy and full of flavor. There's also a small seating area prepared, which made it nice to enjoy on the spot. I sampled a couple of other flavors, but the coconut was by far my favorite. Totally worth the wait, and I'd definitely come back just for that flavor alone. read more

Came by on a Tuesday night around 9:30 PM and there was a short wait time. The ambiance here is super unique--cozy seating along the wall makes it a great spot to enjoy your ice cream and catch up with friends. The lighting gives off a classy, relaxed vibe that really sets it apart from your typical dessert spot. There was one employee working who handled both orders and customer service. Super friendly. Yes, the prices are on the higher end, but the flavors are so creative and well-crafted that it feels like a treat-yourself kind of place--definitely worth the splurge now and then. 1. Dayglow Coffee - Bold, rich, and super creamy. Perfect choice for coffee lovers. The flavor hits hard in the best way. 2. Nekohama Hojicha - A great complement to the coffee. Lighter and more subtle, but still creamy with a roasted tea note. Perfect for tea fans. 3. Cantaloupe Melon - Tastes just like a Melona popsicle (in the best way). Super authentic melon flavor. Parking can be a little tricky depending on the time, but there is street parking nearby. I'd come back again when I'm in the area to try more flavors! read more

The people were nice and design is really cool concept. Unfortunately ice cream is just bad. I tried every flavor and it just tasted not good. I settled for the "popular" chocolate Oreo ice cream and that wasn't great either, 2.3/5. Overall come for the vibes and vegan gluten free flavored ice cream. Don't come for actual indulgent flavored ice cream. read more

This ice cream place was very unique. They have flavors that I've never had, with ingredients that I wouldn't think in an ice cream. It is awesome that all of their ice cream is Vegan for people who can have any dairy. I gave 4 stars, because I personally enjoy regular creamy ice cream and not alternatives. The service was great, but seatings are limited. read more

Small hole in the wall next to Dayglow (coffee shop). As others have said, parking can be difficult. Luckily I came on a Thursday right when they opened and was able to find 1-2 spots right outside. Ordered the mixed scoop and got the Balinese vanilla and Dayglow coffee. Both were very good and not overly sweet or heavy - most likely due to them being made with coconut cream and organic cane sugar, It was a nice light afternoon dessert. They also sprinkled gula Jawa on top of the vanilla, a type of sugar which didn't make it too much sweeter. I almost thought it was some sort of fried coconut shavings at first. read more

Okay so this 3 star review is tough. The lady working there was very sweet and the amaretto ice cream we got was delicious although $9 is a little steep for one scoop of ice cream. However... having a gluten free and vegan sign is miss leading when you have an ice cream that's CONTAINS GLUTEN. I checked to make sure prior and the lady working said yes all the ice creams are gluten free. However AFTER tasting the Thai tea and sesame, I saw the small print that it contained gluten... Please please make this more clear, your employee didn't even know it had gluten in it. read more

This was some of the best vegan ice cream I've ever had. I haven't had too many but until I do, they are highly ranked and recommended in my book. Before I made a decision the team member taking our order was extremely knowledgeable about the brand, ice cream process and flavor notes which made it easy to choose but he was also generous to give taste testers. It was a cute place and ofc we did an ice cream toast. Parking was very limited and street parking but for this place find a space and get in the steps if you can and time permits. read more

AWAN - Split scoop of strawberry and chocolate Oreo - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Awan is the vegan ice cream spot you bring people to prove that dairy-free can still hit. Good quality, super creamy (like suspiciously creamy for being vegan), and the flavors are actually unique instead of the usual "here's another coconut-based disappointment." The space itself is bright, super chill, and perfect for groups. It has that "good vibes, no pressure, let's just hang out and eat dessert" energy. What I love most is that it doesn't feel like a compromise -- it's not "good for vegan ice cream," it's just... good ice cream. You get that same cold, rich, scoopable satisfaction without the heaviness. And the flavors rotate enough that there's always something interesting to try. If you want a spot that's dairy-free but still brings the quality, creativity, and creaminess. Awan is it. Great for friends, dates, or pretending you're being healthy while still eating dessert. read more

This place is amazing. Do anything you can to make the trek out here and try their gelato or ice cream or whatever it is. It's very delicious. The sesame one is my favorite. The flavor is truly exceptional and one of a kind. You will definitely find a flavor you like here. My only problem is the nature of the establishment itself. It has an outdoor space with some bench seating built into the wall. While a pleasant ambiance, I just wish it had tables and chairs and an indoor place. I'd come here far more often if it had the two aforementioned features. The gelato is just so good read more
