Not that many options, and the ones we tried were just ok. There was a lot of large ice crystals in one of them and the flavors weren't very bold. The price was right though. Didn't seem very popular when we were at the mall on a Friday evening. The employee was pleasant though. There's just so many better ice cream options, even some nearby read more

The server was nice and the price -$7 for one scoop seems high till you see your one scoop is low two scoops. More than I could eat. The chocolate brownie was good but untes rich. The mango was so-so. I did not have stir massive impact we had hoped for and was missing that mangoness read more

Yum! Ice cream is so good! Homemade! Every flavor. Service is spot on, so friendly! Will be back!

We tried this place on the way home from San Diego. The flavors are wonderful and the service is great. I would highly recommend if you're looking for something yummy, but a little more unique. read more

The owner gave us samples of all the ice cream flavors and they were all amazing! Quality ice cream and great service!

They offer samples. We tried the strawberry, cookies and cream, rose water, and saffron pistachio. Usually, my go to for ice creams are cookies and cream, but once I tried rose water, I knew instantly that was the one I wanted to get. It was so good and delicious. At first, I was a bit hesitant because I've never had it before and trying new things can be scary, but this was fantastic. I highly recommend rose water because you cant really get that flavor anywhere else. As im typing this, I shouldve bought a pint. It's so good im still thinking about it. Saffron pistachio was pretty good too. The man and woman working there were so nice! They have a few seats in front of the shop, but not a lot. read more

This is the only place outside Iran where you can experience a truly authentic Shiraz-style faloudeh. Honestly, it's hard to find this level of quality even in other cities in Iran--Shiraz has its own standard, and this shop gets it right. The ice cream is just as impressive. It's made in the classic "Sa'di" style from Shiraz, with rich texture and real flavor. They offer several varieties, but start with the original. Once you've tried that, go for the saffron or pistachio--they're excellent too. On top of that, the service is genuinely friendly. The staff takes time to explain the flavors and make you feel welcome, which makes the whole experience even better. read more

I would give them a hundred stars if I could. The ice cream is amazing. And the two young ladies who were working on Saturday were the most amazing people they were very friendly and professional they were knowledgeable about the ice cream. I will definitely be back!!!! read more

Amazing, rich in flavor, creamy ice cream. They have a variety of unique flavors with the most kindhearted owner. I highly recommend!

We tried the Saffron Pistachio, Rose Water Pistachio, Creamy Roasted Almond, and Banana & Creamy Walnut and every single flavor was amazing. The saffron pistachio is incredibly authentic and tastes just like traditional Persian saffron pistachio and faloodeh ice cream. After trying it once, we knew this would be our go-to ice cream spot. We now choose Ice Cream Baba every time we're craving ice cream. Highly recommended! read more

Best ice cream ever! I went today for my first time and had 1/2 Saffron Pistachio and 1/2 rosewater in a cone. Both were absolutely delicious. They had regular flavors too but I love unique flavors. The lady working, I think her name was Zena, was really friendly. I love Turkish ice cream. I will be back for sure. read more

I stopped by today after wanting to check this place out since they opened. I got a 2 scoop special of the saffron along with rose water in a waffle cone.

We always get the Saffron and Pistachio ice cream because its so good. The owner has given us a sample of the other flavors and they are also delicious. Hard to decide which one to get. Their ice cream is creamy buy not too creamy and sweet like gelato. I buy Handels ice cream too. I like Babas ice cream much better!!!! We bought pints to take home and to give to a family member to try. Our family member was amazed how good it is. No fancy containers or displays in the store, No need for waffle cones, toppings or syrups. Just top notch quality and taste. read more

Ice Cream done to perfection. Excellent customer service. tried the Chocolate Browny , Coconut, Coffee. creamy and consistent. The BEST Rosewater , if you had before to compare. It is a simple ice cream but not everyone knows how to make it. I failed making it at home before. This one is very light and settle in taste, smooth and not sticky. Their Saffron /Pistachio, was also nice. Top Resturant quality. you need to develop a taste for them then you are hooked. Was in the mall and had to go back to take my family later the same day. Like to go back and try their specialties from Fri to Sunday only. My mom is a perfectionist in cooking, baking and making desserts , she gave it 100 said "just how the Rose Milk Ice Cream should be and how she remembers it" read more
