Came here with my sister and my friend to check this place out and we were not disappointed. Everything was so good! I ordered the caramel apple cheesecake joylati and the ice cream was very rich in flavor. Also tried the banana pudding joylati and that was also so delicious. Easy to find parking and there was indoor seating. It was very clean inside and the workers were also very friendly and very helpful in answering our questions since it was our first time here. Will definitely be back again! read more

Was craving Italian ice & found this on Yelp and could not be happier! The service was so good (she offered samples and explained the menu since it was our first time). I ordered the cherry kiddie happy ice ($6) with vanilla sweat cream (+$2) so $8 total. The cherry flavor was is so good! They also have some specials that my friends got - the banana pudding and the caramel apple cheesecake were soooooooo good. Portion sizes are good as well. Very cute and clean shop with seating inside. Everything looks very new and clean. I will definitely be back!! read more

I first encountered Happy Ice at an event for work. I was blown away by the flavor, colors, and ethics of this business and, as someone with Philly heritage, I couldn't believe that I had found local "wuter" ice that tasted like home (but...better?!). I loved it so much that started scoping out the two storefronts. Last night, I finally got to visit this Northridge location! I have nothing but great things to say about my experience at Happy Ice: my server was super helpful and friendly, the store was super clean, and service was super fast overall. I purchased a pint of blue raspberry and watermelon. It was the BEST treat after playing a concert at CSUN -- amazing flavors and perfect texture (for those new to this style of ice, it's very smooth and, while thick, super scoopable). Wildly affordable for the quality, too! I can't wait to return! read more

So so yummy! Water ice and vegan soft serve = fabulous combo. I came in on a Saturday night and although there was a long line it went by very quickly. There's a few tables to sit and enjoy but they were all taken, but it's a cute date spot. I got the strawberry shortcake joylati with nondairy soft serve, and the rainbow water ice (combo of all flavors). I enjoyed that it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and the flavors stand out. The strawberry shortcake was my favorite, it had a great combination of textures between the soft serve, water ice, strawberries, and crumb. Definitely a repeat! read more

My family is from Philly and this reminds we of water ice but in Cali. Every scoop jam packed with flavors, it doesn't turn into slush but stays the perfect consistency and it's the most refreshing snack you could have. We came and it was packed out the door, with only the owner and one other staff member running the show and they didn't disappoint, these two ran this place and the crowd better than most restaurants I've been to with triple the staff. The music in the background creates nice vibes for when you dine in. This spot is a must have no matter where you are in SoCal, you need to make the trip at least once. *not sure of the two flavors (Banana pudding and Peach Cobbler) are permanently on the menu. read more

If you're looking for the perfect sweet treat, Happy Ice delivers every single time! The service is consistently five stars -- the staff is incredibly friendly, patient, and always willing to walk you through flavors. I love that they give out free samples of ALL their flavors, which makes choosing so much more fun. My go-to is their Summer Time mixture -- seriously refreshing and bursting with flavor. Pro tip: get your ice paired with a scoop of dairy ice cream. It's the perfect combo of creamy + icy and totally gives me Hawaii vibes. The only downside is that parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day, but honestly it's worth the effort. If you're in the area, Happy Ice is a must! read more

I've been seeing the Peach Cobbler Joylati all over Instagram and knew I had to come back and try it before it's off the menu. Oh my gosh it was the best dessert I've ever had!

Was able to finally try HAPPY ICE! I heard about a black owned dessert shop as they were vendors for a grad school event and was happy to find they have a storefront. When I entered I was greeted by staff and informed of the process and the flavors. I purchased the summertime specialty which had strawberry watermelon and mango. It was delicious and refreshing. The storefront was fairly sized with plenty of seating and parking. I'll definitely return to another happy ice location closer to home. read more

Happy Ice is one of my favorite go-to's after church. I love exposing my friends to this wonderful establishment. I've always had impecable service and the options keep piling on. They've added a new item to the menu since I was last there. I will report back on the name of it the next time I go back, but there are two flavors. Pineapple and strawberry. I've had the pineapple one when they were experimenting with it awhile back and absolutely loved it. I tried the strawberry this time and it was exquisite! It consisted of soft serve ice cream, (I went with nondairy) strawberry water ice, fresh strawberries, more ice cream, more strawberries, and strawberry syrup to top it. It was delicious! The ambiance is very inviting. There is plenty of space to sit and eat with friends and there is a restroom available for use. Also, it's Black History Month. Go support this Black-owned establishment. There are two locations. One in Northridge and one in LA off Fairfax. You will not be disappointed. Become a happy camper today! read more

HAPPY ICE in Northridge?!?! Don't mind if I do! This location is close to CSUN in a large shopping center frequented by Matadors. Large free parking lot that doesn't seem to run out of space. There was a short line to order. Our giant party was easily accommodated by the the super friendly, supper HAPPY staff. Flavors were good. Ice has great texture. Trusted the server and she gave us an awesome choice. Also, she mad it really pretty! read more

Happy Ice is a must-visit! They have many flavor options and combinations that there truly is something for everyone. The staff was welcoming and took the time to explain the menu since it was our first visit. You can even combine their Happy Ice flavors with soft-serve ice cream! My dad ordered the dairy soft-serve (they also offer oat milk) on a waffle cone and it was really good! I couldn't make up my mind, so I went with the All Star a popular combination of Cherry, Blueberry, and Lemonade. Everything we tried was delicious and we will definitely be back! read more

I went in with a crazyyyyyy long line and noticed they only had two people working. Yet, despite the busyness and madness of only having 2 people to handle all that business they had such warm customer service and upbeat spirits. Never seen someone smile so much in the middle of what should be such chaos lol. They're ices are second to none too read more

The service at Happy Ice is always great. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and consistently goes above and beyond to create a memorable experience. The vibe is always fun with the loud music. In honor of Black History Month, we had to try the banana pudding ice, and it absolutely lived up to expectations. You could immediately tell it was made with real ingredients. Seeing the fresh bananas when walking in set the tone, and you could taste that authenticity in every bite. The flavor was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, but full of real banana flavor. What made the visit even more special was the experience they created for my son. I asked if they could make something in Spider-Man colors, and they happily put it together for him. Seeing his excitement when they handed it to him made the moment unforgettable. It showed how much they care about their customers and the experience they create. read more

I've been wanting to try Happy Ice for a while now and I'm so glad there's a location near me now. It's located in a bit of a busy parking lot with lots of other food spots. Very family friendly ambiance. Great service, we got a quick run down of the flavors and I tried the rainbow rocket. Super yummy and good for a hot day. I love how it's non dairy and water based! It is a little pricey, a small was about $6. I'm definitely gonna bring my nephews here to try it out. read more

My friends and I went to go get some Happy Ice after our dinner. It's a yummy sweet treat that packs a ton of flavor! You can choose between the gelati (vanilla only, from the machine) or the water ice (hand-scooped, and can be any mix of flavors of your choosing or the ones on the menu). You can also do both with the gelati on top! Toppings you can include for free is condensed milk, white chocolate, crushed oreos, and sprinkles. The water ice was smooth textured and perfect for a hot day. You can also get free samples to try out a flavor! The lady was super friendly and nice! Price wise, the small is $6 but I didn't finish it and had lids for to-go. Meanwhile some people don't mind grabbing the pint size (bigger than large) to have more for future also! My mix of flavors was yummy and went for what I was going for! (Sour apple, blue raspberry, pineapple, mango). PS Bathroom has a code but make sure you knock first because there's no lock if someone is inside! read more

This was our first time at Happy Ice. First off, the service was exceptional: A+++++ the staff were so kind and very approachable. They let us sample various flavors and were very friendly. Second off, the happy ice was sooo good. Not too sweet. And the spoons they provide actually CHANGE COLORS when it comes in contact with the ice cream -- so cool! We got a kick out of it, we loved the ambiance! This place is a gem! Thank you for serving the community! read more

I have known about happy ice for a while but never knew they cater! They give a huge chests that stays cool for 5-8 hours. You can get up to 4 flavors and they have signature ones to choose from. You can't go wrong with any flavor really. I'm so happy they brought this to the valley because they were far from me in LA for the longest. The staff was so nice and helpful. They helped me to my car as well. The parking however is very tight where they are located so be careful with backing out. It was also super busy on a Saturday. I plan to go back and enjoy in the store. Thanks happy ice! read more

Absolutely amazing. One of the best desserts you can have in Los Angeles. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The ice is not icy but not creamy, it's a really unique and delicious texture almost like a cross between custard and Korean shaved ice. It's not overly sweet and has great fruit flavors. And the softserve is outstanding. So thick and rich and delicious!! read more

Absolutely appalling. So not only did I pay almost $10 for this, but instead of refunding it through DoorDash (which every other restaurant is capable of doing so I don't want excuses) they just wrote on the bag that they were out of it. DoorDash is refusing a refund because this is THE SECOND TIME THEYVE DONE THIS!! Now I've officially learned my lesson with happy ice and will never order from here again. I mean just how incompetent are your employees that they can't refund something that is out of stock? We also ordered two other items tonight that were not good at all. The cheesecake ice cream in them is so gritty, and inedible. All in all horrible experience, and complete morons working. read more

I'm aware of this company because I sell batteries to production in hollywood.@Lemeir Mitchell was on the show Black Ink Compton and I was introduced to he's Business from The show. I came across the truck one day driving around Los Angeles pulled over got a icy. Took a picture of my icy in front of the truck and was featured on Yelp Happy Ice page. I stand behind this company so much with their product. We don't have ice in Cali, he brings the back east missing component here. I'm so excited that he has a valley location in northridge. Whether you see the truck or go to the standing store in Northridge you will not regret your decision. He's branching out with a lot of new flavors like banana pudding. peach cobbler & He also has Dole whip. On his Tic Tac he shows you he makes everything fresh daily. Nothing like variety.

This place has been on my list when they were only on wheels. I also forget to grab some on my way out from downtown Disney. You can imagine my joy when I found out they opened a location here in the valley. The place is spacious, clean and has plenty of seating. I had a warm welcome upon entering and was immediately helped by Liz, who informed me about all of their flavors/options. Think of this place as a Rita's (IYKYK). Liz offered all of the possible samples and even suggested the perfect gelati combination. I couldn't recommend this place enough and thank Liz for providing such great customer service and making our first visit great. Definitely coming back here..all the time ;P read more

I enjoyed this place! Happy Ice is like having a melted-down popsicle with a large variety of flavor options to mix and match! You also add ice cream. It's a sweet lover's dream. The price is affordable, and the portion size is generous--a small size was substantial enough for me, while the larger portion was big enough to share. The staff was knowledgeable and welcoming. The location is small but cozy! I highly recommend it if you love ice cream and popsicles. I got myself and my two children each a cup around $20 plus tax! :) read more

My friend has been to their other location and told me about this new one when they were still "coming soon"! Haven't gotten the chance to try it till today. Parking lot is a bit busy and almost always full here but if you don't mind walking, the parking towards the Reseda end of the lot is almost always vacant. My bf and I shared a Regular: Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, Lemonade topped with Vanilla Sweet Cream. I love how they scoop all the flavors together to make it look all multicolor and cool! The flavors worked perfectly together and I highly recommend the vanilla sweet cream topping. Didn't catch the worker's name but he made sure to have that "happy" tone in his voice and greeted every single customer who walked in. Plenty of seating and even have the option of high top seating (bar stools). Absolutely delicious Italian ice and love that it has its own home here since it's a rare find amongst all the froyo and ice cream spots around. Looking forward to coming back and trying some with Chamoy and Tajin toppings! IG: @ammysalamii read more

I was looking for a new dessert place and ended up finding my favorite one - Happy Ice is SO good.

We went for an evening sweet treat. I got the Summer Time Gelati-- the flavors are Sweet Watermelon, Strawberry, and Mango Tango. The cream and ice together are a cool twist, but the flavor profile doesn't quite hit where it would make me crave this often. I probably wouldn't get this weekly for a sweet treat but would recommend Happy Ice for friends who are looking for something different. Think summer festival energy in a cup: colorful and unique. The staff was very friendly and wasn't busy around 7pm. It might not be my forever favorite, but it is a good pick-me-up on a hot day. read more

What's better than really good sorbet and gelati?? Really great service! We walked in 40 minutes prior to closing. There was a large family and a few more people ahead of us.

HAPPY ICE! He acknowledged everyone coming in to the store, greeted them. He made sure to address everyone waiting. He truly did the best he could to accommodate. Not once wqs he frustrated or upset or angry, and it truly made for a wonderful experience. Its a bright clean store. With simple flavors. No frill toppings.

Great new spot in the Valley and close to me which is a bonus. Nice refreshing treat, vegan friendly, nice clean flavors, not artificial tasting at all, ice cream is very good, smooth and creamy, I really liked it. When we went, the owner happened to be there, very friendly and asked how we liked everything and seemed genuinely interested in us as customers, which is very cool. Love the logo and how it is bright and clean inside. Simple menu and just a very welcoming vibe here. They have a Happy Ice truck to go to functions at schools, businesses, fundraisers, etc. Check it out. This location is right near CSUN, so a great spot for the College kids as well as families and just anyone in the valley. Looks like they have 3 locations, this one, one in LA and one in Philly, so we are lucky to have one so close. Go out and enjoy a nice Italian Ice or gelati (ice cream on top), choose your flavors, let them choose or get them all. Go wild and support a local small business. Join their reward club via Toast and for every 100 points, you get $5.00 off. Enjoy! read more

Flavors are delicious & made from scratch along with being vegan & dairy free. You can build your own or choose something from their regular menu. I'll be trying the pineapple dole whip next time! My 5 year old & I split a watermelon cherry ice, it was great.
