I've visited this location multiple times for ice cream, and it has consistently been a great…read moreexperience. However, my visit last night was disappointing. The employee assisting us seemed to be in a negative mood and did not provide the level of customer service I've come to expect here. Even my 15-year-old daughter noticed the difference in attitude. I understand that it may have been a busy day and that staff can get tired, but the interaction felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming. This was especially unfortunate because I had just finished a 13-hour shift and wanted to celebrate my daughter's first-place achievement. Instead, the experience did not reflect the positive atmosphere we've previously enjoyed. I'm hopeful this was just an off night, as this location has otherwise been a place I've enjoyed visiting.

I took my youngest daughter to Grand Central Market today because I wanted to finally see what it…read morewas all about. While we were looking at the website beforehand, she spotted McConnell's Fine Ice Creams and immediately locked onto it. So the moment we arrived, we went searching for it. When she saw the case full of flavors, she lit up. McConnell's has a great selection, and she loved that you can get your ice cream in a cone, a cup, or her personal favorite; a cup with a cone on top. She chose a small cup of Sprinkle Cake with a sugar cone, and she was over the moon. The team working there was incredibly kind and patient with her, which made the experience even better. She took one bite and said the ice cream was "wicked good." She's officially a fan. McConnell's made her day, and that alone makes it worth the stop.

We ended up going with the most favorited ones. The ice cream was actually delicious as supposedly it was organic and fresh. The whipped cream was not sweet and thick.

The place is super small and no line, but the flavors were plentiful. I forget what they do, but you can get a combo of flavors in a single scoop. Cookies n cream and cookie dough are my two favorites, so I got that combo. It was super yummy. No wonder the place has so many positive reviews on Yelp!!

So an absolute eternity ago, like a decade ago, there was a Paradis in Belmont Shore in Long Beach…read more(which felt like almost as much of a trek from downtown Long Beach as DTLA is, but by bike rather than by train, so we felt a bit more of an excuse to go there and eat ice cream.) Then, an eternity ago, it closed and we were sad. Then Long Beach Creamery opened and we weren't that sad for that long, but still, I absolutely still thought about them every once in a while, sad that they'd left. Then, a much closer eternity ago (about a year ago - I've been super burned-out and not finishing my reviews), I was on my way from an event back to the blue line and walked by and noticed that they had, in fact, just moved. So obviously we had to get some. Verdict - yes, it absolutely was as good as I remembered. I wouldn't go back to DTLA just for ice cream, Long Beach Creamery being walking distance and wonderful, but I would absolutely stop here if I were back in DTLA and wanted ice cream. It's a bit pricey, but all craft ice cream is going to be, and it is definitely craft. And you can save a lot by getting a 3-scoop, which is very much enough to share for two people, if not slightly too much.

My boyfriend tried the vanilla soft serve with Nutella filled Aboong. The warm fish against the cold ice cream created a great mix of textures and flavours, but once the fish is gone the ice cream itself is just ok. The taiyaki, in my humble opinion, are the winners. The Oreo taiyaki was absolutely delicious! It came out super fresh, they filled both the body AND tail with Oreo so every bite had a great ratio of chewy fish and filling. This location always fills their Taiyaki evenly which I appreciate, it's much better than the ones I've tried in Sawtelle. It's really affordable too, so definitely come try it.

It's a lightly creamy soft serve topped with a chunk of honeycomb, which adds a nice texture and just the right amount of sweetness. I've tried some of their other flavors before, but they were a bit too sweet for my taste. The signature Honeymee, however, is much more balanced, and the honeycomb pairs perfectly with the soft serve without overpowering it. They also offer a variety of drinks, and if you ask, they're happy to provide samples of the soft serve base before you order. Overall, a refreshing treat that I'd happily come back for.

But I wanted to leave a review because the girl (I forgot to ask her name, sadly) who helped me today was really lovely! I bought 30g of their matcha and admittedly thought when they didn't give it to me at the counter that they forgot, but I sat down at a table to eat my ice cream and decided to just ask for it after I finished. Thank goodness I did, because the cashier came up to my table about 10 minutes later and handed me a little bag of fresh-ground matcha. She took a second to explain to me how to store it and keep it fresh, and I just really appreciated the extra bit of customer service, even if it's something they're maybe expected to do. When I have the money, I'll definitely come back and get their 100g pack! Highly recommend this place for any matcha lovers, whether you're looking for a drink, a sweet soft serve treat, or matcha for home use.
