This place is such a cute ice cream parlor. You don't find those anymore. When my family and I…read morevisited, we were greeted so warmly by a couple of young guys. They were so helpful. They let me know all the different desserts and options. They also explained pricing and availability to me. They showed me all the different toppings that they have for not just ice cream and sundaes, but crêpes as well. Considering I walked in here, thinking that this was strictly an ice cream place, they have a very large menu. One thing that I remember very fondly about my visit here was not that there were a lot of people here, but the people that were dining in, they were mostly families with children. That may not seem like an important thing, but to me, seeing that is precious More often than not, you see children, their parents, and even their parents parents. So sometimes you get a small group of people, but really you have three generations. Quality time like that is absolutely precious and to see them so engaged in conversation with one another and laughing the entire time and sharing dessert, that was so awesome. Sharing ice cream with my dad at an ice cream parlor near our home is a very fond memory for me. So I guess that's why I paid attention to this while we died at scoop Street. When I took a moment to take a step back and look at our little family, we also were there in our lil three generational group: me, my kiddo & my Mom. The prices here are more than reasonable. The ice cream that is used for their desserts is from thrifty. The waffle cones are made in house and smell amazing. There really wasn't anything more than I could've asked of this visit to the ice cream shop. This was so special. Servers: Art & Austin

Second the owner Ice cream crafter is award winning and the friendliest guy explaining alll his custom yummy creations. Third there is also a craft beer counter serving craft beer and wine along with beer and wine floats using the homemade ice cream. What is better than two of the best things in the world beer on tap and homemade crafted gourmet ice cream!!!! I scream for both! This ice cream artist has taken it up on flavors and has come up with some super delish unique items some that include a little beer in them to make them extra creamy and some non dairy made with coconut milk. You can taste your heart out as every flavor is temping and made of fresh natural ingredients. Definitely one of the best ice cream shops that i have come across and probably I think the best in SoCal. This place makes Handels look like baskin Robbin's and makes others like after and salt & straw look commercialized. Because this guy is crafting the ice cream that he knows the people want and takes ultra pride in his product. A must visit place - located at the end of old town Covina that is also worth a visit to dine at and walk around. I'm coming back for a beer float on their patio and to pick up one of their cool tshirts. They also sell by the pint. This is ice cream heaven at its best!

It honestly feels like stepping into a castle floating in the clouds. The staff/barista was incredibly friendly and helpful. He gave thoughtful recommendations and made great adjustments to the drink based on what I ordered. You can tell he really cares about getting it right. The drink itself came out looking so cute -- and tasted just as good. Perfect balance of flavors without being overpowering. Honestly, next time I might skip the toppings altogether because the drink already shines on its own. No boba needed when the base is that good. Such a fun vibe and a solid spot I'd happily come back to.

It's easily my go-to spot for matcha soft serve.

It tasted completely bitter and had a gritty texture from the clumps, unlike the dark green soft serve. I went back to the cashier and showed her the difference, her reply was "well, its the same thing but from a different machine". I told her it clearly looked and tasted different and asked to receive a replacement. The girl snatched the cone from my hand and threw it so hard into the trashcan that the ice cream hit her coworker. Then, as we were leaving, I heard them complaining to each other about how "its exactly the same, just one machine is more oxidized." Ultimately, I really enjoyed my matcha soft serve but it was a bit of a struggle getting there. Their staff needs training on customer service and quality control.

If you're in the mood for a late-night sweet treat and specifically craving something marshmallowy,…read morechocolatey, and s'mores-inspired, S'moreology is a cute little spot to check out. The shop is located in West Covina and has a really cute setup, but a couple things to know before going: there's no indoor seating and no public restroom, so definitely plan accordingly. Ordering is done at the service window, and then you can enjoy your desserts in the outdoor patio area. Parking is probably the biggest challenge here. Their lot is tiny -- maybe four spaces total -- so there's a good chance you'll need to park on the street or somewhere nearby. There's also a shopping center across the street, so depending on how busy it is, that may be your easiest option. The menu itself was easy to read and had a lot of variety. They don't just do classic s'mores -- they also have brownies, cookies, milkshakes, bottled milk, and other dessert options if you want something different. I ended up ordering the OG s'more, a s'mores brownie, and two bottles of milk. Overall, I'd say everything was good, especially if you're just in the mood for a fun late-night dessert, but it wasn't necessarily one of those places that completely blew me away. The OG s'more was definitely the better item of the two because it was warm, gooey, and gave you more of that classic s'mores experience. My biggest tip is to eat it right away while it's still hot because once it cools down, it loses some of that fresh, melty texture that makes a s'more worth getting in the first place. The s'mores brownie, on the other hand, was a little disappointing because it was kind of cold. I really wish it had been served warmer because the temperature made it taste drier than I expected. The milk definitely helped, but I think it would have been much better if it had been warmed up a bit more before serving. One thing I did love was that they sell bottled milk because honestly, if you're eating rich desserts like brownies, cookies, and s'mores, milk is the perfect pairing. Overall, I still think it's a cute place to try if you're craving a sweet treat late at night or just want to satisfy a s'mores craving. I wouldn't say it was life-changing, but it was a fun dessert stop, and I'd still be open to going back to try a few other items on the menu.

The store has a limited number of seating indoors and a few outdoors. Many great flavors available with creative names and as with more parlors, sampling is encouraged. My friend and I both ended getting a scoop of Matcha Berry Crunch at $6.25 for a single. As a side note, their apparel merchandise continue to offer a mix of silly, quirky, and stylish, especially their Anti Diet Diet Club designs. The Matcha Berry Crunch flavor is solid with a mellowed creamy flavor with no noticeable bitterness. The crunchy bits made for a uniquely enjoyable experience, as the scoop was covered with these mini morsels and remind me of rice krispies. Lastly, the berry bites (looks like raspberry?) blended within provided a slightly tart and fruity flavor.

The gelato is velvety & soft with prominent flavor profiles. It's tasty. (Important Note: Bring cash. Card has a small additional fee, about 3.5% extra. Also, there's no flavor sampling.) I arrived at Il Gusto (West Covina) on Monday (around 7:29pm). This location shares the busy parking plaza by 85 Degrees (West Covina). Fortunately, it was easy to find parking this evening. Staff is professional and helpful. Staff worked quickly, and staff answered all my questions. Line went very fast despite a group being ahead of me. As mentioned, I ordered the Medium Cup (2 Scoops - $8). I selected a milk chocolate scoop and a cookies-flavored scoop. Portion sizes are fair and adequate for its quality. The flavors are delicious. The milk chocolate scoop reminded me of rich, dark chocolate milk. Its consistency felt very velvety, and its strong chocolate flavor almost teetered towards chocolate brownie territory. The cookie-flavored scoop was very tasty as well. This scoop flowed smoothly, and I happily enjoyed the soft cookie chunks within. This had a milder taste, but it felt very satisfying. This gelato was not icy; rather, it had delightful flavors while flowing like chilled silk. Concerning ambiance, Il Gusto (West Covina) shows genuine effort. The location is very clean and well-ventilated (refreshingly chill). I also enjoyed the Elvis Presley music. However, the music was occasionally drowned out from the loud electronic buzzing/humming sounds from the kitchen's containers. Also, some portions of the walls and floors looked scuffed with black marks. Il Gusto (West Covina) is also fairly small. It has three reflective tables inside; customer-only restroom; and three nearby shaded tables outside. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Il Gusto (West Covina). Its prices are adequate, the gelato is a good quality, and the staff is hardworking & helpful. If nearby, I recommend. 4.6 out of 5

There were already people waiting and a decently sized line began to form!

While we tried each flavor, she described each of its components in great detail - something I truly appreciated!! Everything was delicious but I personally ended up getting the Mango Sago and Vietnamese Coffee (probably would not mix the two next time lol but delicious individually). The mango sago tasted like fresh mangoes and reminded me of a rich high quality mango sorbet. SO. Good. The perfect summer treat! Vietnamese coffee tasted exactly like how the drink would taste, which I was honestly surprised about since coffee ice creams are flavored a bit sweeter than the actual drink. It was perfect for me but may not be everyone's cup of tea because it does have bitterness :) The ambiance in there is amazing - details in every cranny and nook of the space. It's retro and very chill / relaxing! There are a very limited amount of tables but I did see stacks of plastic stools for people to sit on outside. Also there's a coin machine where you can purchase lactaid. A small gesture keeping the community in mind haha.
