And looked around for an alternative. Within seconds it was decided McConnells was our move. I got the sea salt caramel in a waffle cone and it was delicious. $7.50 for high quality, creamy and tasty ice cream.

I have been buying McConnell's at Whole Foods every so often and it is excellent. So when I was saw…read morethe logo sign, I practically jumped out of the car I was driving. The ice cream in-vivo is even better than the store stuff. I hate admitting that LA has some of the best ice cream, but McConnell's is truly spectacular. I got a sundae with cookies and cream and sat outside and went into an ice cream tunnel and devoured it in probably 60 seconds. Parking is not great and the staff were ok, but the ice cream is worth it.

Once in the store, the staff was very helpful in letting me try the some flavors I was interested in and settled on Cinnamon Snickerdoodle. The flavor was divine! I'm a big cinnamon fan and there were chunks of some kind of snickerdoodle dough throughout the scoop. I also really loved how they have rotating unique monthly flavors. Overall great experience :)

This was my first time trying Salt & Straw, and while the ice cream itself was amazing, the overall…read moreexperience didn't match. The low rating is entirely due to the customer service. This past Monday (4/20) around 9:30 PM, we went to pay and were left standing at the register while two employees talked, with no acknowledgment or direction. We assumed the employee who helped us would ring us up, but as we walked over, another employee repeatedly said probably about 5x "over here" in a very rude, condescending tone, like we were doing something wrong. It wasn't what he said, it was how he said it. The lack of basic communication and unnecessary attitude made the experience uncomfortable and just weird. Really disappointing, because I loved the ice cream but due to that interaction, I won't be returning to this location

Being…read morerelatively close to Sliders, my boyfriend and I frequent this ice cream parlor when we've craving a little sweet treat. The location is along a busy area, but during nighttime there are rarely cars around, so finding parking out front is easy! Stepping into the shop, you'll be transported into what feels like a retro ice cream parlor. With the florescent lights, a ET statue, and ice cream themed movie posters, it's like a blast from the past. There's ice cream, a variety of different flavored fresh cookies, a rack with pies, a self grab freezer with pints of ice cream, AND a freezer with ice creams, dog treats, and chicken pot pie. There's so many options, I've been there a handful of times with my boyfriend and we've ordered something different every time and it always tastes great! There aren't any seats inside of the ice cream parlor, but there are benches right out front that you can sit on to eat your treats. Sliders makes for a fun little adventure to get some ice cream any day of the week!

I've been to this location several times in the past few months and I have a few things to say…read more.. First of all, the staff is generally very friendly. The cashier with pinkish purple hair always puts a smile on our face, and the majority of the staff makes us feel extremely welcomed, too. That being said, I went in earlier today (Sunday 3/22/26) around 4pm and I was shocked at the state the restaurant was in. It has never been like this in all the times I've come here!! The store was filthy, many of the flavors and toppings were empty, and the two girls working there seemed more interested in giggling in the back than taking care of the customers up front. It pains me to write this review because I've come to really love this location, but today felt totally unlike my prior experiences! I hope this Menchie's location takes more steps to avoid these issues in the future.

And thankfully, the helpful employee offered me some free samples, which really shaped my choice. Went with a seasonal flavor. Blue Yuzu!

Really felt great during, and after eating it.

So many flavors at this Persian ice cream store. Staff was…read morehelpful and let us sample many flavors. The flavors fall more towards the floral side. The mint chip ice cream was not overwhelmingly minty nor did it taste like toothpaste. Turkish coffee tastes just like a light and creamy coffee.

I'm absolutely in love with their cucumber ice cream, saffron, and their falude, which is a delicate blend of noodles, rosewater, and ice. I also love their Dates ice cream, plus flavors like pomegranate and guava. so many unique fruity options. I always get a trio of scoops, and I'm never disappointed. The prices are fair not too high, not too low which is perfect for indulging in a special treat. That said, the staff could definitely improve. I noticed they often hire teens who are just on their phones or chatting, and it would make a big difference if they stayed more focused, especially on cleaning the glass display, which gets smudged often. Still, I give this place 5 stars because the flavors and quality of ice cream are top-notch. I just hope the management keeps a closer eye on the staff so the whole experience stays as sweet as the ice cream!

They apparently make everything in house. I don't have the biggest sweet tooth so I went for crème ice which was dairy free and much lighter than ice cream. It was $7 for a small scoop which was on the more expensive side. In all honesty, this place is okay. Nothing truly stood out to me about it. I was expecting a lot more given it has 4.8 stars and 500+ reviews. It lacked in the overall experience from walking into the door to the flavor itself. I don't think I'd go back, I'd rather just go somewhere else.

I wander into Slusheeland and clock the menu, lots of fresh fruits and an overwhelming assortment of drinks and offerings. It's like a boba shop but with the OG Mexican flare of juices and street snack delights! I have to watch my sugar intake as I gotta get me new years new you beach bod going. Instead of a sweet treat I went with the snackiest of snacks the Tostilocos with mango subbed for pork rinds and no Clamato! Vegan Friendly FTW! Service was amazing and everyone was wonderful! Like it's rare getting quality service like this and they are dialed in!!!! Let's talk about the vegan style Tostilocos I just watched them prepare... This is some sophisticated snackage I really went buck wild on this offering that seems more like a wild craving of the pregnancy kind BUT IT WORKS!!! Sweet, savory, salty, tangy, spicy, crunchy tender chunks of fresh mango and crisp jicama. It hits every tastebud and nearly every texture in a crazy accomplishment of delight! It was perfection and basically delivered the food pyramid in one snack! Needless to say next time I'm in the area I'm getting this again!

Walked in yesterday around 3:50 pm and got a very nice greeting from a sweet, pleasant lady with a genuine smile by the name of Natalia. Right away she asked me if I wanted to try few of their samples. I already had in mind what I was about to get, but she still offered me to sample it so I did. I got a medium size/cup of their Mascorpone gelato and grabbed a seat in the shop. She gave me a generous scoop and was very yummy, creamy, delicious & REFRESHING!! $8.23 with tax. Since my last review, the only reason that I gave a 4 star rating was because of their tables not being clean. Everything was up to par. Enjoyed my Gelato,the nice Classic Rock music and headed out. Everything else is mentioned in my previous review! Feel free to read it. Thank you Freddo, Natalia & management.

Every 'Joe Schmoe' can "go out for ice cream"; but do you want to up the ante and show off…read moresophistication? Would you prefer to feel as though you are carefree in Italy and about to hop on a vespa? Then opt for gelato. Somehow, grabbing gelato versus ice cream feels classy and elegant. Although gelato offerings in Los Angeles aren't as widespread as ice cream; there are plenty of options awaiting to make us all feel European (I AM European so I always do but I digress). San Fernando Valley's most recent addition to the world of gelato is Freddo - located not far from the Ventura/ Laurel Canyon intersection in Studio City. Yes, that means this is prime real estate and terrible parking. Is Freddo worth the hassle? Freddo has been in the gelato business for 50 years opening their first shop in Argentina before expanding worldwide focusing on fresh, local ingredients and flavors; making each shop unique to the surrounding cultures. Freddo has arrived in Southern California ready to bring their Italian gelato roots to the City of Angels. Sounds great, right? Well, yes - on paper but this Studio City location fell short. The Studio City location of Freddo has been on the receiving end of viral publicity and influencer love as of late often appearing in social media videos. Coupled with Freddo's worldwide market holding; I had very high hopes for Freddo's gelato. I expected some orgasmic gelato! A mind-blowing experience! My boyfriend and I ventured into Freddo to find a rather large gelateria in comparison to other gelato/ice cream shops with an order counter/gelato/pastry case, a front window-seating counter complete with plants and plenty of tables and seating within; while murals graced the walls adding splashes of color. What I found odd, was the disheveled mess Freddo appeared - why didn't anyone tidy the dining area? Granted, there was only one associate in the front but only two other customers ahead of us. Alas, an untidy gelato shop isn't the clincher to a bad time but this was just the beginning. My boyfriend and I have never visited Freddo and the associate was NOT welcoming, didn't smile, was basically silent and stood there like a statue until we asked for some samples on our own. Let's try "selling the business" and having good customer service, shall we buddy? I am not a gelato professional consumer by any means but I was instantly deterred by the visual appearance of the gelato which just looked 'off'. Perhaps, I am just spoiled by Bacio di Latte which is a hop, skip and jump from Freddo and is absolutely divine. I wasn't overwhelemed by the flavor options at Freddo although I tried Zabaglione which is inspired by the Marsala wine Italian dessert and was interesting with the wine notes coming through the gelato. The Mascarpone (mascarpone with raspberry sauce) was also decent but not overly unique. I decided against purchasing my own gelato and instead to share with my boyfriend with him choosing a double cup ($7.50) of Stracciatella (sweet cream with semi-sweet chocolate chunks) and blackberry sorbet (note: this was to test it against Bacio di Latte's raspberry sorbet which is one of the best sorbets on the planet). The prices at Freddo were another strike with the single cup ($6.25), double ($7.50) and triple ($9.80) being smaller in size than their competitors but about a dollar higher, respectively. This is fine if the gelato is worth it - but it isn't. I'm sorry but Freddo's gelato was mediocre at best. I've had better grocery store pints. The Stracciatella was overly simplified and bland and the blackberry sorbet (which was not strained of seeds) was just bad. I can't even eloquently phrase why - it just is. There isn't much more to be said about Freddo. Freddo is, bluntly, not good and I don't understand how they claim worldwide gelato domination. A messy shop, poor customer service, subpar gelato flavors/textures and overpriced... why is this place viral? Can someone answer me? Anyone?! There is nothing good here and especially when Freddo is overshadowed by Bacio di Latte almost a block away. My boyfriend and I will not be back despite wanting to feel classy consuming gelato. Skip!
