What a hidden gem in Santa Monica! Randomly stumbled across this seriously delicious ice cream place (and dairy-free/plant-based, even better). The employee working was so friendly and helpful, offering samples and recommendations. They had quite a few great flavors to choose from - the chocolate and strawberry were standouts. I'm not usually a chocolate person ever, but this was soo good. The strawberry tasted super fresh/real too. Portion size was generous. I would absolutely recommend and come back.
Really loved trying all the flavors. Michael the owner was there and gave us the whole backstory. It has the creaminess of real ice cream and not too sweet just perfect. Highly recommended to add toppings like the dark chocolate and the chocolate sprinkles! I would say the winner is the Tuesday special The chocolate peanut butter!
The service is great, the girl was very polite (I forgot the name). However, we didn't like the taste of ice-cream, it is good, it is an acquired taste.
I love the vegan ice cream here! I just Postmated a couple pints, & my sealed bag came with the cutest drawings on it. Very sweet! The flavors I picked today were both favorites: Strawberry Shortcake - with soft Sweet Laurel cake chunks, so good! Lemon Cream - slightly coconutty, lemony, & smooth - love this! Both flavors were just the right amount of not very sweet, to let the fruity flavors come through. There's never any regret after eating these yummy, clean treats! Highly recommend!
Disappointed.... as a holistic food blogger who is vegan and gluten free my boyfriend and I were so excited to find this place and baffled why we didn't sooner considering we live down the street. We had a hankering for ice cream and from everything we saw online it seemed right up our alley. I always appreciate when any business is fully transparent with the ingredients they use and are health conscious which this place is. We popped in tonight and immediately loved the vibe. It's cute and clean even though it's a bit small. We were drawn in by the strawberry cheesecake but their special tonight was cookies and cream so we decided to get that. I got one scoop of that with sprinkles and my boyfriend got that and the passionfruit. At first the flavor seemed really bitter to me but I kept eating it and then started to hit the cookie chunks which (and I could be wrong here) seemed to be raw to me which made the texture unpleasant. The whole scoop was just filled with the cookie crumble and it really detracted from the ice cream itself. It was VERY rich and bitter. I had to stop eating it. The passionfruit was fantastic (we both loved it) but I'm not kidding when I say we both got super nauseous immediately from the cookies and cream. I really think it was the flavor (which just had a confusing taste personally) and the cookie crumble which was almost raw and frozen inside. The service was great and we love the concept so definitely want to come back and perhaps try the strawberry cheesecake or a more fruity flavor and give that a shot cause we really want to like this place but this experience was just super unpleasant and disappointing. I will update review once I go back with my next experience!
Michael and his wife turn out the MOST incredible gf, df, rsf ice creams in the world. I don't know how they do it but they're truly spectacular!! Such a wonderful company, smaller family-owned, I'm not sure how it's not blown up even more -- but it's my favorite ice cream spot and it's healthy?! WILD. BIG LOVE
The raving reviews brought me here. So I'm sure you're wondering: Did Frozen Fruit Co live up to the hype? I'm glad you asked. Frozen Fruit Co exceeded the Yelp hype. This place is changing the ice cream game for the better. As soon as we walked in, the passionate owner greeted us with a big, warm smile and eagerly asked us if we'd like to try this weekend's special flavor. First sign that this ice cream was going to be a hit. Samples were encouraged. Many samples later, my wife and I both settled on the snickerdoodle and sea salt chocolate. Although every single flavor that we tried was divine. Ok, onto the specifics of the product. Wow. Creamy, smooth, fresh, decadent, and... all natural and vegan?! Made with nothing but fresh, whole, ingredients and sweetened with dates?! Love this healthy, wholesome take on ice cream. And love that it makes my taste buds sing. It's easy to miss this charming, hole in the wall spot if you're strolling down Montana street. So put Frozen fruit Co on on your radar and stop by for some of the best ice cream that you'll ever have, complimented by top-notch service.
100% plants, 0% guilt! I love this spot and how fresh all the flavors are. The strawberry flavor (more of a sorbet than ice cream) is super refreshing these hot summer days. Food: 10/10 Drinks: N/A Service: 10/10 Affordable: 9/10 Vegan-friendly: 10/10

It was so wonderful to take my little one to an ice cream shop that wasn't just vegan, it was a place i didn't have to worry about a bunch of sugar and artificial ingredients. Clean, yummy and fun flavors. My only complaint is that $9 felt expensive for such a small amount so this would be more of a once and a while treat. Thank you for exposing and allowing an ice cream outing to be possible without the stress of ingredients. We will be back read more

I saw this place on social media and bookmarked it for if I was ever in the area. Stopped in to grab a weekend sweet treat and tried my first ever plant based ice cream! This is a tiny shop, there is no indoor or outdoor seating, expect to take your ice cream to-go. This area is nice to walk around in and you're close enough to the beach that I didn't mind this. Pink Vanilla 4/5, this is SUPER date heavy, just traces of vanilla and coconut. It did come with quite a bit in the cup but even though its plant based, I would recommend you don't eat this all at once as you'll probably end up with a similar stomachache as I had ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Cookie Smash 3/5, this tasted like a candy bar between a Reese's and a Snickers. I was told this was a super popular flavor but I prefer a more fruity tasting ice cream so I opted for the pink vanilla read more

AMAZING. Workers are always so friendly, you can sample any flavor, and split flavors in each cup. My favorite is the cookie dough series they've had this month. I've come back like 5x in the span of 2 weeks. PLEASE keep the cookies & dough series in rotation!!! read more

The best clean ingredients ice cream you will find in all of Los Angeles! The ice cream is SO delicious. I can't even believe it's dairy free. Really unique flavors. Everyone who works here is super sweet and just such a pleasure. Cute benches to sit outside by the waterfall but super casual and just perfection. Love the vibe and energy of entire place read more

Still one of the best dessert spots in LA. Came here for an afternoon sweet treat and had a scoop of the strawberry as well as the chocolate sea salt. Everything is made fresh and is vegan/dairy-free. The employee helping us gave us samples to decide between the chocolate and chocolate sea salt (the chocolate sea salt has extra oomph while the chocolate is very sweet). There's a bench outside with a fountain. Credit cards accepted. You can get points each time you visit. Again, it's a lovely spot to get (relatively) healthy yet tasty dessert. read more

Michael and his staff are so sweet! I enjoyed the Almond Biscotti flavor SO much, that when I mentioned it to him he made another batch just for me and let me know when it was ready. All of the flavors are so delicious and they use Sweet Laurel cookies for some of them which is awesome, but you cannot go wrong with any of them! Also worth mentioning, this is the first vegan/gf ice cream that while eating the pint, I haven't been able to stop it's so good... and that says a lot! HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERY FLAVOR. read more
Probably the best plant-based dairy free ice cream spot out there. I made a stop with one other person during the weekend. We were greeted by the nice girl there who offered us samples immediately. She was very knowledgable and answered all our questions. I love that they do not use added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Their ice creams are made with very few ingredients which I like. I loved everything I tried. They're known for their salted chocolate which is pretty good. They have featured flavors that are different everyday. On the day we went they a chocolate strawberry one that was really good. We shared a single scoop which consist of any two flavors of your choice. We got their salted caramel and vanilla. OMG a single scoop is quite large and was only about $6. The salted caramel is my favorite. It was perfect. Vanilla is also a goodie. Their ice creams are very creamy and smooth. Their pricing is so good for what they offer and how much they give you. It's additional for toppings but no toppings needed for me. I really want to come back and try their peanut butter one when they offer it. I'm kind of a eat-clean kind of person so I was very happy I found this place. I highly recommend if you are like that as well. read more

I love this place! The vegan ice cream is delicious and made from bananas and coconuts instead of cream. It is honestly better tasting than regular ice cream! They always have Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Salted Chocolate and Salted Mint Chip. The salted Chocolate and Salted Mint Chip are my favorites! In addidinton to these wonderful flavors they have weekly specials! I think the cofee and cookie dough are the best I've ever had! Highly recommend! read more

A diamond in the rough when it comes to healthy vegan ice cream! Frozen Fruit Co has a vast array of creative flavors in their vibrant, flowery storefront with the friendliest servers. I absolutely adore their weekend specials and Thursday flavors. Don't forget to take a picture because their wallpaper and decor are adorable! read more

What are the flavors that contain no sugar and are vegan? Or is every flavor vegan? I want to go and just want to know what to order.
Hi Chelsea. Great question. Thanks Yanal - yes all the flavors are vegan. All the flavors are just sweetened with fruit sugar - so out of our current flavors (they rotate) the chocolate, salted chocolate, banana bread and chocolate mint are…
Do you guys make your own almond butter and dark chocolate almond butter? Are both vegan and do both not have any added sugars?
Hi Chloe. Great question! We do not make the almond butters - both are vegan and the regular almond butter does not contain any sugar (the dark choc one does). If it is a house made, vegan, sugar free sauce you are after our chocolate magic sauce…
