    Super cute shop serving ice cream, frozen yogurt, edible cookie dough, milkshakes, and more!! They had a bunch of unique ice cream flavors too! Staff was kind & there are also many food spots around to eat at as well!

    Background On Visit: This shop was on my route to spread news about Masters Of Taste. Background On Owners: Bijan & Leila Sadeghi. We can't remember a time when ice cream hasn't been a part of our lives. We were born and raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan where our parents have been in the ice cream industry for over 40 years. Upon moving to Los Angeles in 2010, we sought out a place to get the traditional feel-good ice cream that we grew up eating in the Midwest. When we couldn't find what we were looking for we decided to start a business of our own. We set out to create a product that would satisfy our desire for that creamy delicious ice cream of our youth and offer it to everyone. (Off their website: https://www.bloomfieldcreamery.com/#About-Us ) Background On Establishment: We don't rely on gimmicks to impress our customers; instead we let our products speak for themselves. All of our small-batch, super-premium ice cream is made in-house using all natural and scratch-made ingredients. With a mix of both traditional and unique flavors we strive to satisfy every customer who walks through our doors; kids, adults, and grandparents alike! Mission Statement: At Bloomfield Creamery our mission is to offer feel-good ice cream that the entire family can enjoy! We work to deliver the highest quality ice cream and customer experience at a family-friendly price. We hope our family's love for ice cream can bring joy to yours! Credit Cards: They're accepted Restrooms: There's a unisex restroom available Location/Parking: Located E. Washington Blvd between Sinaloa Ave and N Dominion Ave.. Parking can be found along Washington Blvd.. There's also parking available in the back. Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with a long bar table to sit on. There's also a patio up front to enjoy your ice cream. Entertainment: They have quite a few board games to past by time. Service: Service was great. The assistant store manager was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the shop, and offered great ice cream and cookie dough suggestions. Ice Cream Of Choice: Just make a mental note, that you can only try 3 samples. I tried the ube coconut, peanut butter cup, and maple glazed butter pecan. They were all good, but I decided on the ube coconut for the base of the 50/50. For the cookie dough, I chose the oreo flavor. The ice cream was creamy and paired nicely with the cookie dough. was quite delightful to eat. Bloomfield Creamery: I would love to come back and try other flavors and perhaps try out their froyo.

    I'd say the ice cream is just okay. The flavors aren't anything special, though I would say are on the very sweet end. Interesting that the mint and chip is brownish-grayish as opposed to radioactive green, which I'm okay with!

    Lots of good ice cream and yogurt selection! Would come back here again. Very friendly staff Thank you for having Archie!

    Chill ice cream vibes in Pasadena. Went for a late after dinner dessert. Plenty of parking in the lot and on the street. Was not busy when we arrived. They offer 3 samples - so choose wisely. Ended up getting a split scoop of their Almond Brittle & Mackinac Island Fudge and the Mint Chocolate & Oreo. Both flavors were very good - lots of chocolate bits, which what i was looking for. Would come back!

    Ordered Doordash and it was so delicious! Got the Pint of Ube & Coconut for $9.95. it was pretty creamy and not too sweet. Wish the taste of ube was richer in flavor since it tasted pretty subtle so this was 7/10 The 50/50 ($7.95) consisted of half ice cream and cookie dough! YUM! Got the chocolate chip cookie dough and cookies n' cream ice cream. The cookie dough was a bit too sweet but it was not too bad. There was a lot of chocolate chips and lots of pieces of cookie dough! The cookies n cream ice cream was very good! There were bits of Oreo pieces and it was so delicious! Definitely recommend this flavor so this was 9/10 The chocolate cookie was so amazing! It was so fresh, soft and yummy! Definitely a MUST! This was 9/10. Would definitely recommend and return/reorder!

    All the flavors
    Joana G.

    Love Bloomfield! It's a great local spot that has tons of flavor options in icecream (with vegan options) and fro-yo with tons of topping options. The ube coconut is one of my favorites, along with peanut butter cup. Going 50/50 is a treat--scoop of icecream and scoop of cookie dough! Today I opted for lemon and pineapple dole whip with Twix bits, almonds, salted caramel rocks and cookie crumbles. Yum!

    Visited on a really hot day and there was a long line but only one girl working. The girl was working the register, giving out samples, and scooping ice cream. Also, even though the frozen yogurt is self serve, they check out at the same register as the ice cream line so there was a line forming on the other side of the register too. Other than the long wait, the ice cream here was delicious. I liked how they let you sample flavors. I ended up ordering a double scoop of the salted caramel and coffee flavors. The ice cream was so creamy, rich and really satisfying especially in this hot weather.

    Great vegan ice cream! They had four legit vegan flavors that weren't sorbet or something basic like that. And they also had classic Dole Whip. The edible cookie dough is a great concept. Staff were friendly and the shop is cute with decent parking and seating outside. Will be back.

    Matthew N.

    This ice cream is really really good and it tastes very different from your run of the mill cold stone or Rite Aid , my flavors are the pistachio rosewater saffron, and the coconut ube . The ice cream flavors are simultaneously rich and refreshing, which not many places can pull off. Especially the coconut Ube. The service was pretty quick and the ambience is like an ice cream shop

    Ice Cream Double Scoop
    Carrie M.

    Bloomfield Creamery has delicious ice cream and froyo to boot. They let you sample flavors before ordering and if you end up getting ice cream, you absolutely have to get a waffle cone! They serve the best waffle cone in town and it's the perfect vessel for a double scoop. I'm partial to their Salted Caramel and Almond Brittle Mackinac Island Fudge flavors. Literally the best combo.

    superman icecream here is the best. i once had superman icecream as a child somewhere else and i never forgot about it. its a mix of marshmallow, cherry, and vanilla with fruity pebbles. absolutely sensational. they do it so well here, get it with the waffle cone. u won't regret it. on another note, this place is known for their edible cookie dough add ins for the icecream. i don't personally get that but one day when the sweet tooth really calls i will...

    When will you bring back the vegan ube ice cream flavor?

    I've seen this business on my socials & had it saved for a potential visit. It was everything I…read moreexpected it to be. I drove all the way from Long Beach to visit my discount hobby mechanic Bobby; and yes it was worth the one hour drive. One because I had an amazing ice cream and two; I by passed a tune up at Fletcher Jones Toyota of Carson who for some reason didn't honor the previous warranty, because "Fletcher-Jones is now the new owner of the Carson location." In a sense, I am thankful for the grifting, because it lead me here. If you're indecisive Kinrose Creamery does offer samples. I ended up ordering two scoops of Saffron Pistachio Rose, & Orange Flower Pistachio. I definitely savored this unique frozen dessert in this unforgivable heat. Loved my choices and I will be coming back through the summer. The customer service is excellent, the establishment is very clean, & nicely decorated as well. It appears they have local art on the walls, and it's also well air conditioned. Additional information: parking is a bit of a hassle in this area. I ended up paying for a one day parking pass, which is ten bucks and having to walk about two blocks. I did not mind the short stroll but do recommend to look up neighboring businesses to get the best out of the one day pass. There's a pottery painting workshop near by, a spa, furniture shops, and also an amazing tea place adjacently across the street.

I must say the iced cream was too busy for me and didn't need much added as the base ice cream flavor was good. I noticed they had a lot of great flavors and some popular ones I'm excited to try next go round. The place is small with few seats inside but they had additional seating outside. Staff were friendly and I loved the vibe. You do have to pay for parking, but there's aplenty of spaces to park. Cannot wait to be in Pasadena again to try this place again.

Not only was the flavor amazing (which made me want to return and try them all) but the presentation was definitely instagram worthy.

    A Little Cheat Night Never Hurt Nobody!…read more After eating the juiciest chicken ever at Loli Farms, I've been eyeing this dessert spot for a while, and luckily it was only 1.6 miles away. So obviously... dessert was happening. Perfect excuse for a little cheat-night treat! Parking Hack: Don't pay $5 for parking! We parked about 7 minutes away in a parking structure for only $1 for 2 hours. After all the delicious food I inhaled, I definitely didn't mind getting a little extra cardio in. Pasadena parking is definitely doing the most, so parking structure it was! Mango Melon Shaved Ice -- $8.50 | 7.8/10 Mango-flavored shaved ice topped with melon balls and served with a side of milk drizzle. The shaved ice itself was SO soft and fluffy, and the milk drizzle gave it just the right amount of sweetness. The only thing was... I really couldn't taste much mango in the shaved ice. It was pretty subtle, so I wouldn't say this one completely blew me away, but it was still a refreshing treat on a hot summer night. Definitely not the best I've had, but certainly not the worst! Injeolmi Shaved Ice -- $7.50 | 7.7/10 Milk-flavored shaved ice topped with mochi, layers of Injeolmi powder, and more milk drizzle. This was actually our first time trying Injeolmi, so we were curious! The combination of the soft shaved ice, milk drizzle, and nutty Injeolmi powder was really good and made for a fun flavor combination. My only complaint? THE MOCHI. They were soooo tiny! I wanted that satisfying chewy squish, but these little guys basically tasted like mini boba that disappeared the second I bit into them. The shaved ice itself was perfectly soft and honestly the star of both desserts. Inside, there aren't a ton of tables, but luckily we snagged one right when we walked in. And let me tell you... this place had a constant flow of customers the entire hour we were there! People were coming in and out left and right, with only one ordering machine, so expect a little patience if it gets busy. Overall, both shaved ices were pretty decent and made for the perfect little "I already ate too much but I'm still getting dessert" moment. Definitely a nice way to break the diet after our chicken feast! Would I come back? Absolutely, especially to try some of their other shaved ice flavors. Happy desserts!

    I've been wanting to try this place, and I'm so glad I finally did!…read more I ordered the Egg Heaven and the Iced Honeycomb Latte. The Egg Heaven was honestly one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The flavors were light but still incredibly satisfying. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the egg salad was seasoned so well that every bite was delicious. It was also definitely worth the price, it came with three pieces, which was more than enough to share between two people. The Iced Honeycomb Latte was just as good. It doesn't come sweetened at first, but as the dalgona slowly melts into the coffee, it adds the perfect amount of sweetness. If you prefer your coffee less sweet, you can always ask for less dalgona. On top of the great food and drinks, the staff was incredibly friendly.

    Came here for the souffle pancakes and they didn't disappoint!…read more My party of 3 stopped by Saturday afternoon 2:30 pm and it wasn't crowded. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor since it was such a nice day out. They have all of their desserts on display in the case, so you can peruse the options and see what looks good. So many of the desserts looked good, like the matcha yuzu chiffon crepe cake or the rose and lychee crepe cake. We ordered via the kiosk and got the mango sunshine souffle pancake ($16.50) and well as a couple drinks. My drink was the white peach lemon jasmine bliss ($6.25), with 50% sweetness and less ice. Even though there are signs everywhere saying that it takes 15-20 minutes for the souffle pancakes to be cooked, ours came out super quickly, in 5 minutes or so. We got it with the sauce on the side, but I regret doing that as I saw others getting it with the sauce on top and it was beautiful. The pancake was super fluffy and a bit eggy as well. We all really enjoyed it with the mango sauce. I made the mistake of eating the pancake first before trying a sip of my tea. The pancake was pretty sweet, so I could barely taste my drink, but I think it was good? I could taste a bit of the lemon but definitely not the white peach, which is a lighter flavor. I got a slice of their Hokkaido cheese cake roll for $7 to go and had it the next day. It was okay but definitely a bit pricy for what you get. I'd love to come back to try their other desserts and pancakes!

    This cafe has potential but at the moment it is not quite living up to the hype. The cafe, one of…read morethree in the area, is mostly kitchen & counter with a small bar counter with six stools facing the window & a handful of tables inside. It is not really cute or aesthetic in any way... and the whole place could use a refresh. There is a covered patio with a few tables outside but at the moment it is a bit haphazard and not the nicest because the space next door is doing construction & there is a large dumpster on Green Street. We ordered Black tea & Floral Pineapple Blossom tea drinks, Peach Crepe Cake and a Peach Souffle Pancake ($17.50) via the kiosk. When you order, you receive a text that lets you know your order number, has a receipt, and also an expected time of delivery. The drinks were ready about 15 minutes. They were both fine, and prepared correctly. The peach crepe cake was brought out a few minutes later. My mom enjoyed it and it looked very pretty. Then the time that the entire order was supposed to be ready came and went. I checked in with Nick at the counter and he said that my souffle pancake would be ready in 5 minutes. About 7 minutes later, when my mom was done with her cake. Nick brought it over and set it down in next to me. It was jiggly, huge, and very wobbly. I slid it over so it was in front of me, and the top pancake fell off of the stack, and flipped over so the whipped cream side was on the counter. I tried to flip it back over and put it on top of the stack, but it fell apart. At this point, I was so frustrated with the situation and grossed out by the possibility of eating whipped cream and pancake that had been on the counter, that I asked Nick to remedy the situation. He offered to make a new pancake, but since this one had taken 40 minutes to come out, I was not willing to wait that long again. He kindly offered an alternative suggestion which I accepted. I tried the Creme Brulee crepe cake which was mildly flavored and pretty tasty. (Maybe I should have just gotten it in the first place, but I had really wanted to try the souffle pancake which I've since & sadly lost interest in.) With that, we bid Motto adieu, and it is unlikely that I will return. A few additional notes: Parking in the area is metered and $1.25/hr with a max of 2 hours, the single bathroom is functional, but there is some problem with the ceiling (there is a gaping hole covered by plastic) making for an unpleasant and potentially unsanitary situation. This should be remedied immediately! Peace.

The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which set a nice tone for the meal. I ordered the Quiche Lorraine and it was delicious, flaky, flavorful, and perfectly baked. My husband went with the Brioche Egg Benedict; he said it was just okay (not bad, but not memorable).

    Very disappointing experience with how we were treated…read more We went here for lunch last weekend and waited about an hour and a half for a table. When the host at the front, who was managing the waitlist, told us our table was getting cleaned, she pointed to a specific table that was being cleaned by the busboys. Shortly afterward, I saw a customer approached the staff, and they seated him at the same table we had just been told was ours. I immediately asked the manager what was going on. The manager told me that the host had "said it wrong" and that the other customer had a reservation. I understand that reservations need to be honored, but then why were we told that this particular table was ours after we had already waited 90 minutes? We had given our name, followed the waitlist process, and patiently waited. If there was a reservation for that table, the staff should have known and communicated that clearly. The next available table could have been given to the reservation party. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was the manager's attitude toward us compared with his attitude toward the other party. We had done nothing wrong. We were understandably unhappy because someone else was seated at the table we had just been promised. Since the confusion was caused by the restaurant, we would have appreciated at least a meaningful "I'm sorry." Instead, the manager seemed annoyed when speaking with us (think about a cold tone voice and side eyeing). At the same time, he was smiling and friendly toward the other party. The difference in attitude was very noticeable and left us feeling like we were not being treated fairly or equally. This was especially uncomfortable with the difference in our ethnicity and the other party. I cannot say for certain that race was the reason for what happened, but the combination of being passed over for a table we were told was ours, and then seeing the manager treat the other party so differently made it very difficult not to question. I hope the restaurant reviews how its hosts and managers handle situations like this, because customers deserve to be treated consistently and respectfully.

I wish I brought my cooler to bring these back, especially the TTB. I do wish there were better seating inside to accommodate both small and larger groups. Regardless, I have flagged this creamery because I will definitely return and will make sure to recommend to anyone I know that'll be in the area.

    This location of Wanderlust Creamery is located in Pasadena. With another dessert shop nearby being…read moretoo crowded, my cousin and I came here. They seem to share the storefront with some other businesses, but there were some empty spaces. They had some limited high tops along the front window and one table. However it was really hot where we were sitting for an ice cream shop. Noah helped us with our order and she was super friendly. She was very gracious about offering us samples and telling us about the ice cream shop. So Wanderlust is inspired by global flavors, so you'll see unique flavors here. My cousin and I were pretty full from dinner so we decided to get the Tasting Trio ($6.50). We were told that these would be smaller scoops of each but you get to enjoy the variety, which was perfect for us. We opted for the Kinder, Ube Malted Crunch, and Japanese Neapolitan. This in itself was a nice mix of matcha, Sakura or Japanese cherry blossoms, and Hokkaido milk. All of the flavors were mild and not too sweet. I think my favorite was the Japanese Neapolitan. To be honest I was less excited by my experience with the Irvine location, but the flavors I tried here were much better. My cousin and I had a nice treat. It would have been a tad more enjoyable if it wasn't so hot here.
