A friend suggested Fosselman's when my daughter and I visited their place in LA. So glad they took us here! Very nostalgic place, make sure you got some cash to pay for the ice cream and candies. The candies were the first things I noticed here, and they weren't overpriced compared to other spots. Then I saw the big display of ice cream. So many flavors! My daughter tried a lychee flavor and it was really tasty. I got one of their cherry flavors and it was fabulous. Very good, not too sweet, and loved the chunks inside. Service was great and the line moved quickly. We all sat to eat our treats at the tables. Would come back to try some other flavors! read more

Love the nostalgia of this place! Heads up - CASH ONLY. Everyone's friendly and the ice cream is great. Not too sweet. Lots and lots of flavors, including unique ones, such as black sesame and lychee. Black sesame was nice and nutty, while the cookie monster was just as you would expect with a good amount of cookie bits. The cookie monster was too artificially blue though, and would color your teeth and lips. Matcha was interesting bc it was pale The single scoop is plenty to share for someone like myself that doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, so $4.50 is a steal! read more

Fosselman's Ice Cream - Cookie Monster - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Alhambra, California

Their ice cream cakes are awesome!! You get 2 flavors of ice cream in the cake. It's a very thin white layer of cream followed by a layer of cake, layer of ice cream flavor 1 then ice cream flavor 2 then layer of cake at bottom. The cake was moist and flavorful despite being frozen. Didn't care for the mocha almond fudge- there was NO fudge and the mocha had an artificial flavor. Vanilla ice cream is decent. Would definitely get the cake again but in a different flavor. read more

Fosselman's Ice Cream - Ice cream cake with 2 flavors of ice cream and chocolate cake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Alhambra, California

There are many flavors of ice cream here but the ice cream tastes average. I got one bestseller which is Cookie Monster and it's rather bland and too sweet. The taro tasted better. The mint chocolate chip has small bits of chocolate chips which is good. The parking lot is tiny but you can park on the street which has plenty of spots. Service was fast and the ice cream shop is also so crowded because it's pretty cheap and CASH ONLY. read more

This is so overrated I'm sorry. We got the 3 flavor 3 toppings, our flavors were Cookie Monster, white chocolate chip, and taro. There are only 8 ice cream toppings you can choose from so don't go in expecting a lot. The Cookie Monster is good but is unfortunately overpowered by the peanut toppings. Definitely eat that on its own. The white chocolate chip was our favorite, great flavor great creaminess. The taro was so beyond disappointing. There is not one part of that ice cream that tastes like taro. It tasted like the flavor of melted fruity ice cream you're licking off of the wooden popsicle stick. It was a bit confusing on where you should pay, you definitely just walk up to the counter and pay right there with the person helping you out. There is no designated cash register window or counter. Inside the decor is super cute and vintage but the wall paper has water damage. There is free parking in the Wellsfargo parking lot read more

Classic old school style ice cream parlor. Favorite place to get an ice cream sundae or banana split. They have lots of different flavor ice cream, some permanent and some rotating. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Wait can be a little long during the summer but always worth the wait. Line moves pretty quick since they have lots of workers helping out. Cash only! read more

Fosselman's Ice Cream is one of the few remaining old-fashioned ice cream parlors that still captures a true sense of nostalgia. The parking is limited so park ion the street and you'll see lines outside. Walking inside feels like stepping back in time, with classic décor evokes the charm of a 1970s ice cream shop. There are limited seatings. Whether you're stopping in for a scoop, a sundae, or a milkshake, the experience feels delightfully and reminds you of a simpler era when neighborhood ice cream parlors were the place to gather and enjoy a sweet treat. This pace also sells candy by the pound, as well. There are a dozen plus flavors -- classic, upcoming like Ube mango or celebratory like one dedicated to the Dodgers! Just like old times, you order and pay through one person. You do get a couple samples if you choose. read more

Fosselman's Ice Cream - Yuzu Freeze - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Alhambra, California

Like a place frozen in time! Eh? Eh? For real though, it has everything you would ever want from an ice cream parlor and even old school candy for sale. And I mean old school like salt water Taffy, chocolate gold coins, root beer gummies and jawbreakers. On the ice cream side they have all the retro flavors like rocky road, mint chocolate chip, and butter pecan. You don't need lavender matcha to have a great ice cream experience, you need cookies and cream. Lastly, they have the classic ice cream combinations that I remember like root beer floats, hot fudge sundaes, shakes AND malts, and the holy grail of ice cream creations, the banana split. I even saw an upside down ice cream sugar cone decorated like a clown with a pointy hat and it just took me back to elementary school. Wow. Prices were not bad at all and there was no line when we arrived. read more

We love a good ice cream spot and Fosselman's Ice Cream is definitely one of them. My family and I stopped by while in the area after a recommendation and they did not disappoint. We came in on a weekday after dinner time and the shop was busy with customers from the second we came in to the moment we stepped outside. Service was efficient and friendly. The staff definitely does a good job of moving the line through quickly. I couldn't decide which flavors to try, so I went with a two scoop cone of Coffee & Cookies (coffee ice cream with Oreos) and Matcha Strawberry. Both were delicious and the portions for each scoop were generous. I couldn't even finish my cone. Pricing was fair and justified the product. Thrilled to have visited Fosselman's Ice Cream and it will definitely be a must stop spot the next time we're in the area! Please be aware, before your visit, they are a cash-only establishment. read more

I came here to meet my friends on a random weekday night and it was actually way more packed than I expected! It was such a cute shop inside and made me feel like a kid again. They even sold candy which I kept staring at while I waited in line. Also it is cash only so definitely keep that in mind if you're like me and never carry cash on hand. There were so many flavors to choose from and we were able to sample a few. The lady helping us was really nice and was able to recommend some fan favorites and limited seasonal flavors! I ended up going with one of the fan favorites, which was the cookie monster. I just love cookies and cream in general so this was a safe option for me. I loved the different cookie bits that they had in there! It was also really fun because of how blue it was and stained my entire mouth. Luckily I had nowhere important to be after so maybe keep that in mind as well... Overall a great experience and I get why people waited in line for it! read more

TLDR: It's the best ice cream for the price that they're charging. It's cash only, but that's a small hurdle to get over for what you get. Thoughts: Ice cream for me has always been about balance. How sweet is it? How hard is it to eat? How close is the quality of the product the first time you eat it, and when you finish? Most importantly, how much is it? Given those factors, I think Fosselman's nails every single category. I've been buying my ice cream here for the better part of 3 years, and I can say that the ice cream is never too sweet, the last scoop is just as good as the first, you can keep it in the freezer for months on end without ruining the texture, and it's $10.50 for a half gallon. What's not to like? Favorite Flavors: Cookies and Cream, Dutch Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Ube, Macapuno Service: It's always service with a smile. Ambiance: Classic ice cream parlor. Seats 20 ish, and lines to pile up on certain time blocks. It's still worth the wait. Parking is sometimes a challenge, though. read more

Sampled a couple of flavors: lychee, mango and pistachio nut. Lychee and mango tasted a bit off so I went with pistachio nut. The pistachio nut was decent. It had a good amount of pistachios in there and was pretty creamy. They gave me a pretty huge single scoop and it was $4.50 cash only. Hot take but I think the ice cream here is overhyped. There are much better chains like salt & straw, mcconnell's or thrifty's. Honestly think thrifty's tastes much better than fosselman's. Giving it a 4 because service was excellent. The shop has a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. They also sell candy bags for $2 each. Parking is a mission. The lot is tiny and you'd be lucky if you found a spot in their parking lot. You'll most likely need to look for street parking. It's on a busy street too. read more

This is local favorite ice cream shop! However, this ice cream shop is CASH ONLY!! The service is good and nice! They provide 2 free samples for you to try and the ambiance is average. The store is a bit small and has benches outside if you don't like to eat inside. I got the Red Velvet and Horchata! Both was yummy and provided a strong flavor from each scoop! In addition, I liked both of the flavors together. Luckily, I got two waffle cones! TIP: There's no restroom in this ice cream shop. There's limited parking in the parking lot.

I know I had stopped by once before while in the area, but this was the first time I intentionally came to see what all the hype was about. From the moment we walked in until we left, it was nothing but good vibes. There was a steady flow of customers coming in and out, which always says a lot. We got lucky with parking because the lot on the side is very limited. The staff was extremely friendly, everyone was enthusiastic, happy, and helpful, which made the experience even better. The girl that was taking care of us was awesome The ice cream was delicious, with so many flavors to choose from, and the portions were very generous. The banana split was so good and came with three flavors: cookies and cream, espresso, and pistachio, topped with whipped cream and nuts. Their shakes taste authentic and old-school, which fits the vibe of the place perfectly. This place keeps it classic with a cash-only policy, no cards accepted. It really adds to the old-school charm. I will definitely be back, not just for the desserts but for the whole experience. Such a great dessert spot. read more

Delicious ice cream! Keep in mind the parking lot is very small so you may have to park on the street but there is a good amount of parking available on the streets just be careful since it's a busier street. This place is also cash only so make sure to have some on hand. The ice cream was great! It was milky and creamy. Did not get the chance to try sorbet but would definitely go back to do so. The flavoring isn't overpowering where you would get tired of the desired flavor. It's actually subtle depending on which flavor you get where one to two scoops is the perfect amount. We went around 7pm and it asz quite busy but was also a Friday night. The service was very fast and even though there was a line when we initially got there it went by very quickly. There's a few tables inside with some outside and benches outside as well so plenty of seating for smaller parties. read more

Haven't been here in a few years!! Because I dont live close by anymore. However, I crave for their coconut pineapple and rocky road flavors once a while. Recently I went to an Ice cream shop that sells their ice cream and they totally marked up the price. They wouldn't be able to pack ice cream to go. It was only limited pre-packed flavors. So I had to come back to the original store to get the flavors I wanted! Wow! They didn't disappoint! They let us sample as many ice cream flavors as we wanted! My mom was so happy to try many flavors, I was worried if they would get impatient. The young lady that helped us was super patient and nice!!! And later another young boy helped also was also super nice!! We to total got 5 pints to go, but I only took pictures of mine. The We got coffee and cookies, 2xcoconut pineapple, banana, and dark chocolate. I already have rocky road at home from the other marked up store. At Fosselman's, you can see they made sure it was fully packed that the lid almost couldn't cover it. Love this historic ice cream shop that still charge a reasonable price and having affordable ice cream!! The ambience is very cute with lots of candies for sale. We got some too! Very happy with our experience again! Love Fosselman's ice cream!! read more

We saw Fosselman's on Instagram and stopped by to try the ice cream. There was a line but it moved fast with the workers doing a good job in filling the orders. They do sale candy too, so you have things to check out while you're waiting. I ordered the rocky road ice cream in a cup. They use more butter cream in their ice cream, I didn't like the texture of the ice cream. It was different then the ice cream that I normally eat. The Rocky road ice cream tasted okay but I think I'll try Fosselman's again. They do have a nice bright store with a parking lot. read more

Dropped by today to have Fosselman's after having dinner around the area. Ice cream didn't hit as a dessert for myself nor anyone in my party of 4. I tried the toasted almond, red velvet and mocha almond fudge flavors; all were not as sweet or creamy as Id prefer for my ice cream. There were some inconveniences as well. Parking can be tough because they have a small lot. They have a container and cars were illegally parked in the lot which made getting in and out tricky. The cash only policy also was a surprise for a business in this age. Fortunately, someone had cash in our group. Customer service was good. They had a good amount of workers who helped with the after dinner rush. read more

I feel like I accomplished a huge goal of mine today by finally finding where my favorite cappuccino ice cream (of 20+ years) is from! Long story short, one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the SFV offered ice cream with their entrees, and one of the flavors they had was this very dark cappuccino ice cream with candy coffee crunchies in it. I've been on the hunt to find it all this time. Fast forward to this past June, I visited an ice cream shop at the Santa Monica who "proudly serves Fosselman's". I hadn't heard of Fosselman's before, but the flavors sounded amazing. They were out of the cappuccino, and for whatever reason, I asked the guy scooping if the cappuccino was super dark with crunchies and he said yes! I can now confirm, THIS is the cappuccino ice cream I've been longing for and hoping to find! Now for my review: We decided to stop here on our way home from DTLA. It's so cute from the outside; you can't miss it! As soon as we walked in, it felt like a magical sweetness wonderland! There were so many candies all around, bulk & pre-bagged. The place was packed, so I had a hard time taking photos. Once we got to the front, we were excited to try some of the other flavors! The watermelon sorbet was a huge hit with my kids. I loved the chocolate dipped strawberry and peppermint flavors. We enjoyed our ice creams outside at the cute little tables they have; the plentiful seating they have inside was all spoken for. We also made sure to purchase some of the pre packed quarts of cappuccino ice cream! There is a small parking lot next to Fosselman's. Please also note that this is CASH ONLY. read more

Small mom pop retro ice cream shop serving homemade ice cream in a variety of flavors! Came on 7/12/25 to order a birthday ice cream cake to pick up the following Sunday morning. The worker scheduled us for 10:30 AM but upon arriving, we realized the shop didn't open till 11:00 AM in Sundays... so be careful of this! We also ordered a scoop of lychee ice cream with sugar cone and I must say, the portion is pretty big! It was way creamier than I expected for a fruity flavor with little bits of REAL lychee. Very impressed! Would get it again. My partner got a mint chocolate chip milk shake and it was good with strong chocolate and mint flavors. Very old school retro ambiance with candy in shelves available for purchase. Other things to note: -Cash only. -Seating indoors and outdoors. -Not a long wait. -You can ask to sample flavors. -There is street parking and a small parking lot available but I can imagine it fills up during peak time. read more

So let me start of by saying that the service is incredible. One draw back is the fact that it is cash only. But, I'll make an exception for them when I can. Most recently, they had a limited time special which showcased their cookie monster ice cream, but it was in a shake. This was done in celebration of the Dodgers becoming World Champions. I spoke to the girl who created the shake and it was nice to be able to hear the way they can re-invent their ice cream selections for limited time promotions. Oh, it's also near my job and near other fun places to visit like Target and Costco, LOL! I like the diner vibes! read more
