"You know that water store on the corner of Bloomfield and Alondra?"…read more"Yes, I've seen it." "They serve Thrifty ice cream there." "Really?! That's weird!" I had to go check it out. Sure enough, in HUGE letters the store sign read "Drinking Water Store" and then in much smaller letters underneath: Ice Cream This little shop sells purified water, which is what most people come for. Folks bring their water containers and fill them up; much cheaper than the water delivery companies. This place also sells a variety of water containers. But they also sell Thrifty ice cream. They have a freezer full of take-home containers or you can choose from a dozen flavors and have them scoop you a cone or cup. I got a scoop of chocolate malt crunch. The single scoops are big and cheap (I think it was $1.25). YUM! None of the Rite-Aid stores near me scoop Thrifty ice cream any more so this is a real treat. So if you live in the Cerritos/Norwalk area and want a delicious Thrifty ice cream cone, check out the Drinking Water Store!

I loved many…read moreaspects of this place but aside from being "purified & fresh" there isn't much more information posted on the type of filtration system they use. Though, I'm sure the kind gentlemen behind the counter will tell you if you remember to ask :) I'll be happy to come back to fill up the 3 gallon jug I purchased on location. Not only that but I will be taking my kiddies here for a scoop or two of ice cream when warranted. It's definitely a peculiar mix but the set up works. Bummer it's cash only so don't forget your wallet & chump change beforehand.

My family has been regulars to this water store and we have always enjoyed getting our water there. When we came in we were greeted with a rude remarks from this lady. We had came in with a bunch of jugs as usual, but this time this Asian lady yelled for us to use only 3 faucets. We thought it was kinda weird so we just listened and filled our jugs. We needed some space so I moved one space over so that my family can fill their share of jugs and all of a sudden this lady was yelling at us to use only three. Mind you we WERE using only 3 faucets but we had spread out for some space. My mom and her started to disagree. And the lady claimed "This is my house my store if you don't like it get out". My mom was just trying to say that we ARE using three, but this lady was just plain rude. We packed our jugs and paid for the jugs we had already fill. But as my mom paid her the lady just tossed the change onto the counter. Overall, this lady needs to be fired or learn her lesson on customer service. I would like the guy who regularly worked there to come back. ADDITIONALLY I myself am Asian so I'm not discriminating and am only complaining about the lady's work ethics.

My gripe about restaurants is that I don't have much to choose when it comes to soda. If drinking dark soda, I prefer diet, as it's not as sweet. I'll drink regular light soda but that still leaves me limited to sprite/7up/sierra mist. Ski's liquors to the rescue! I had so many options, I wanted to just drink bubbles for dinner...ha ha, non alcoholic this time. Ok, so its really just a liquor store, but kudos for checking ID, convenient location & non-alcoholic beverage selection. I checked in here and unlocked a special, but not sure if that changes periodically.
