    I've been coming here since I was a kid! My husband knows how much I love Fosselman's ice cream. So for my Mother's Day present, he took me to all my favorite places. Fosselman's was on my list! I got my favorite banana split and my daughter got the brownie sundae. They were so good! I can't wait to come back.

    This is our all-time favorite ice cream shop! My kids love it, cash only. Try their delicious and reasonable ice cream cake. We are a lactose family and for some reason this spot never gives us an upset stomach. There are ice cream creams are made with really good dairy. Check out the ice cream cake ordered for my son's 13th birthday. Strawberry chocolate chip

    Got baited into eating one of these last night and wow they were so good. The pistachio ice cream is incredible, honestly can't believe I am only now trying this place.

    Highly recommend to try this ice cream store in Alhambra, since 1919. So many favors, you can try it. The staffs are so nice. They have many kind of sweet things, from candy to cake and ice cream, you name it Ah, they have the fountain water but no cup, it is a bit hard if you need the water after sweet ice cream.

    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. However, you can also park on the street.

    Banana Split With Cookies and Cream, Espresso, Pistachio and Chocolate Shake.

    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.

    Pistachio Nut ice cream cone

    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.

    Private Parking lot next to store. It gets busy during hot days in LA / Alhambra. They are the best Ice cream east of DTLA! I love its history in San Gabriel Valley. Such variety of Ice Cream! Try it out!

    Crowded on this warm evening.

    My favorite place to have an ice cream ! Always clean and cozy! Great efficient service!

    Mango sorbet & lychee ice cream waffle cone! As good as it looks!
    Sean C.

    Exactly as a remember as a child! Wonderful staff, and service fun atmosphere: tables, indoor & outdoor. They have plenty of street parking & their own lot. CA$H ONLY

    I got maple walnut and lychee ice cream
    Christina F.

    Went last Saturday night and it was packed! I'm amazed they're open till 10pm. Staff were nice and we tried several samples before getting our favorites. Love the nostalgic atmosphere. Really liked the maple walnut and lychee flavors. Delicious. Tried the matcha but was disappointed, it tasted soapy! Very crispy waffle cone. Congrats to them for being around for over 100 years! Well deserved.

    located on main street with a small parking lot to the right of the store, this family style handmade ice cream shop is a testament to the old school ice cream parlor that we see so little of today. A great spot for family and dates, the workers are quick and helpful with wonderful flavors to choose from. order: strawberry ice cream in a cup and a chocolate chip on a sugar cone cons: small parking lot so can get packed and cash only

    Do you accept credit cards/Apple Pay?

    They accept these two payments cash bills and coins only.

    Do you a stamp card for frequent buyers? Asking for a friend.

    When I went, the transaction was straight forward...they didn't ask for or offer the option to stamp a card. If they did,I would've totally did it because that place is awesome!

    Are they still cash only (may2022)?

    Yes they only accept cash $. Don't forget the cereal milk flavor. So good!

    Do you have bubble gum ice cream?

    No we haven’t made it for many years

    Do they still have black sesame as a flavor and can it be purchased as a half gallon?

    Yes it can - enjoy

    I saw you make Anaíse / black licorice ice cream in Oct. was wondering if you have any in your freezer?

    I doubt it, they sell out of special flavors quickly. If they had any left it was gone by November.

    Hadn't been in years, but went today. Aaahhhh memories fulfilled but is it new owners? Didn't see any of the guys (owners) from before.

    I try to order an ice cream cake online, but they don't have any description about the size. Does anyone know the size?

    The ice cream cake must be ordered by phone and sizes are posted on their website: http://www.fosselmans.com/menu.html#tab5… Read more

    Trying to limit my contact with people I have stopped using cash. Have you updated your credit card policy? Do you now accept credit card or Apple Pay?

    As of 5/21 they are still cash only. I went in the other day and it was cash only.

    Do they sell pints or gallons there or is that only in the supermarkets? Thought I've seen their brand in markets before.

    Yes they do. They have 3Gal and 1.5 Gal tub.

    Will y'all be bringing back the Guinness flavored ice cream?? I haven't had it for years and have been waiting for this flavor!

    They have it every year during St Patricks month

    What happened to chocolate raspberry mousse ice cream?

    Flavors are usually rotated in and out, especially if it's seasonal.

I've been here before, but ever since Salju went viral on TikTok, it's definitely gotten a lot busier compared to past years. That said, the quality is still great. I ordered a regular milk shaved ice with mango and mochi, plus condensed milk drizzled on top. The shaved ice itself and the toppings were delicious, but I'd probably skip the condensed milk next time since it made everything a bit too sweet for my taste. Portion sizes are generous. The small is easily enough to share between two people, and the medium is massive. There are tons of flavor options to choose from, and orders come out pretty quickly despite how busy it can get!

    Second Visit & Still Such a Fun Dessert Spot!…read more This was our second visit here, and once again the service and ambience were very welcoming. It's a smaller dessert spot with about 3-4 tables available, but it gives off a cozy and chill vibe that we really enjoyed. This time we got the half-and-half milk and ube ice cream with taiyakis filled with: * taro * red bean * custard * cheesecake * nutella And honestly... I was really surprised that the cheesecake filling was actually delicious! Creamy, smooth, and definitely something I'd order again. The taiyaki itself was warm with that nice slight crisp on the outside, and paired perfectly with the ice cream. Overall, such a fun spot for dessert and definitely a must-try if you're craving taiyakis and ice cream. Happy eats!

I am looking forward to returning and try other flavors.

My family and I like the wide variety of drinks that they have. But one thing that we always love to order is their mango and strawberry brick toast with the condensed milk and ice cream. Yes, it is sweet, but it definitely is meant to be shared. Price is here are more than reasonable. I feel like they don't charge an arm in a leg for their drinks so their desserts. This is I would think the median price. Or at least it happens to be when we are in the Monterey Park or San Gabriel Valley area. The consistency of their drinks is always appreciated. I love that they make teas as well as smoothies and milkshake type drinks. The wait time obviously will vary, depending on how many orders have been put in ahead of yours, but usually the wait time is not long. I feel like even when I've been here in the line to order is out the door, the way to receive your drink is still not a long time. There is a parking lot in the back. There's also street parking on the sides of this strip mall. I love coming here. The designs on their cup change throughout the year. I tend to reuse and repurpose my bottles that I get from here. My little one is still in elementary school. So I have found that their thin Crayola brand washable markers fit very nicely in these bottles, as well as their colored pencils.
