Salt & Straw is a chain that offers consistent quality and always exceed customers expectations.

I understand they're niche exploratory ice cream (IC) flavors, but nothing really stands out…read more Service 5 stars: Server was excellent; pleasant, non- judgmental. Said we could sample any or all flavors, didn't give eye-rolls or attitude when line built up behind us. Didn't rush us at all, which we appreciated. I love coffee ice cream, but found it weak, needs to be stronger w a punch like TJ's coffee blast IC. My date loves strawberry, he got strawberry balsamic & strawb. Coconut water. Both tasted like strawberry. I got Lavender Honey,which was lovely, tasted both without overpowering. Tried the other flavors but tended to be too sweet and not much pronounced in its flavors. I minus 1 star for IC temp which was too soft, warm & melty. We love the frosty cold scoops at Baskin Robbin's that stay cold until the last lick/bite & they have seating to enjoy IC in air condition. It was 95' outside, scoops quickly melted out and pissed us off!!! Hey, Salt & Straw, I understand flavors are more pronounced when not frosty cold. We don't prefer warm temp ice cream that melts immediately when you have no inside seating available and have to eat melting IC in 95' weather. I believe BR compensates for their wonderful icy cold scoops by upping their flavor profiles to make them more pronounced and delicious! They provide seating to allow us who enjoy cold scoops to eat in A/C and not outside in 95' weather to eat ruined melted mess!

I was so excited to hear that SomiSomi reopened in Glendale! They were originally inside the…read moreGalleria, then closed for quite a while, and now they are back, but this time across the street. I definitely missed having them nearby. If you're not familiar, SomiSomi was founded by two dessert lovers who set out to create their own version of the "perfect" dessert. What started as a small ice cream and taiyaki shop (those adorable goldfish-shaped waffles that are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, filled with your choice of filling) has grown into 30+ locations across Southern California, Texas, Nevada, and Washington. Clearly, they're doing something right. Their concept is simple but fun: choose from soft serve flavors like Cookie Butter, Ube, Matcha, Oreo, Milk Tea, or swirls, then pair it with a taiyaki filling and toppings. They rotate flavors pretty often, which keeps things interesting if you go regularly. I ordered their "Upside Down," which is soft serve in a cup topped with a taiyaki instead of the other way around. I went with the Ube and Cookie Butter swirl and a Nutella-filled taiyaki. The soft serve was creamy and not overly sweet, and the Nutella filling inside the taiyaki was warm and rich. It was such a good combo. My only downside: since they are now in one of the smaller business stalls, they don't offer samples. I get that space and flow might be limited, but when you're deciding between unique flavors like ube, matcha, or milk tea, samples would really help, especially for first-timers who may not know what to expect. Overall, I'm really happy they're back. It's a fun dessert spot, perfect for when you want something a little different than your typical ice cream run. I'll definitely be returning to try whatever new swirl they come up with next.

When I walked up to the buildings I hesitated going in because the glass on the door was so dirty. It made the outside look unkept. Went in and felt like I was in a possible beginning hoarder situation. It felt very cluttered and closed. I was a little hesitant about the safety of the good. But... The yogurt was great. The young lady who served me was great. She wore gloves which made me feel better but I think they need a little cleaning and organization in here. I want to go back again and give it another shot.

I chose to have Salty Carmel Truffle and Blueberry Cobbler in a cup. They were both delicious!!! The one thing I didn't like is I ordered a triple scoop but could only have two flavors. Why couldn't I have three flavors in my three scoops? Hmmm. The person who served us was very nice and helpful. Overall the shop is run efficient and they keep the line moving swiftly. The shop is clean and decorated nice. Lots of on theme posters and tchotchkes. Handel's will continue to be the go-to for my sweet tooth.

Love Bruster's! I find that the flavors offered all are stronger than other handmade ice creams…read more Bruster's changes their flavors throughout the year. Flavors I've enjoyed are butter brickle, chocolate chip, mocha almond fudge, pistachio, matcha, sea salt caramel, English toffee, and butter pecan. Bruster's also offer sorbet. Each year, I wait for the dragonfruit mango sorbet to be featured. When the dragonfruit mango sorbet is offered, I'm there! They have kick'n mango strawberry which actually has a little spicy kick to it! Also offered are Italian icees, sherbet, and non-dairy/oat milk. Have fun at Bruster's!

I recently found out Bruster's Real Ice Cream has made its way to La Canada Flintridge Town Center…read morenear Descanso Gardens. Cool! I love the garden and I love ice cream. Perfect location! Got here in the evening. Parking appears limited where I was parked, but I know there are more parking at the town center. Anyway, I got lucky with a close parking spot. No inside seating. Just a couple tables and chairs outside. They weren't super busy at the time. I was the only person in line. This is my 2nd time trying Bruster's. My first time was at their Rancho Cucamonga location. Nick, the staff member who helped me, was very nice and helpful. I asked for recommendations on their best flavors. He graciously offered them. Thank you Nick! I got to sample a handful of flavors... Boston Cream Pie, Sea Salt Caramel, Death By Chocolate, Caramel Macchiato, and Cinnamon. Thanks for the samples! All the flavors were very good except for the Cinnamon which I thought was very light in taste. Since I was driving, I chose an ice cream shake instead of a cup or cone. Caramel Macchiato was my pick! It had a really nice caramel flavor with coffee bean bits. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't pile up the ice cream to the top of the lid. It stopped at the top of the cup. I felt I was shorted some ice cream unfortunately. Hence, 4 stars! Nevertheless, Nick was amazing. His service was fantastic. Wonderful conversation and experience. Ice cream shake was yummy. It was finished before I arrived home. YES, I will come back to try their other unique flavors! Thank you Bruster's!

Taking place at the busiest part of Burbank, yep the downtown with all other foods; it's kinda tricky to find parking spot but it's probably my lucky day that I managed to grab the last one amidst busy Friday night. Unlike what some reviews I read said about the stingy portion, my tart-matcha twist froyo was so generously served and similarly the toppings of PB sauce and cookie dough. The matcha had pretty bold matcha flavor and the tart was decent though I would say it wouldn't be my top tart yogurt. Toppings were bomb and I could see how all options looked fresh. We 'inhaled' our yogurt in seconds at the outdoor patio while enjoying the people-watching experience.
