My ULTIMATE ice cream shop bias!!! You would prob see me here weekly if I lived closer. Large - 3 scoops ($8.50) Ichigo Milk - strawberry So refreshing! Love the natural flavors from real strawberries. No artificial tastes here! Midnight Mugicha - choco barley Wow, how do I describe this! The flavors from both the chocolate and barley are rich, and they complement each other so well! I would get a pint if I could! (Tried this last week when they only had scoops). Get the pint today if you can!! Houjicha - roasted green tea The roasted green tea flavor is so lovely! The perfect tea-flavored ice cream! This is for all the tea lovers (tried this last week when there was a limited amount available, scoops only) All the flavors here are not too sweet. If you love ice cream that is sweeter, definitely try Mr. Universal and Hokey Pokey (honeycomb toffee)! I love that they change up the flavors weekly while keeping some timeless favorites on the menu permanently. I tried their cold brew coffee for the first time. I'm not a black coffee drinker, so I ended up adding milk when I got home. It was very good and the coffee taste was still strong after I added milk. 5 star service as always!! Everything is so clean inside and there are tables and chairs inside as well as a bench outside. There are also some table games you can play with family or friends. Love that they also feature different independent artists in their stores with print available for purchase.

Arguably best ice cream (maybe even dessert??!!) in the South Bay Area. I love the rotating flavors and the staff is so attentive and nice. I always get the 3 flavor option so I can maximize my experience there Clean seating inside and they feature artwork (that I believe you can purchase?) by local artists, which I think is super neat :-)

My favorite ice cream shop in Socal. The first time I tried their black sesame ice cream I had an out of body experience. The prices are affordable, and the service is always super friendly. The lines can be long on weekends but it moves past. One underrated aspect I really appreciate about Kansha is that they don't offer samples - this keeps the line moving quickly and samples have always felt misleading them to me - sometimes a flavor tastes great when you get a small spoonful but when you get a whole scoop it's not as enjoyable. You can't really go wrong with any of their flavors but I would heavily recommend their tea-based ones when they're available.

Nice small ice cream shop that I tried for some dessert on the way to LAX. The owner said the flavors change each week, so I got the malted cookies and cream and I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. The malted flavor makes the taste a bit more nutty and does complement the flavor. Only minus one star because they don't let you try some of the flavors beforehand and their flavors are unique... so it is a hit or miss on whether you'll like it. At almost $5 a scoop, it is on the pricier side.

This is a must-stop ice cream shop. I'm not in this area often, but whenever I am, I make it a mission to grab a scoop of the famous Mr. Universe ice cream. 10/10. It's so good that I have to resist taking home a pint because I know I'd finish the whole thing. The service is always fast, and everyone working here is incredibly friendly. The shop is on the smaller side, but it has a great vibe. You'll see lots of families hanging out and enjoying ice cream together, which makes it feel really welcoming. If you're in the area, don't skip this place. It's absolutely worth the stop.

Mr. Universal

What can I say about this place except that it's absolutely delicious. I had the Mr. Universal and the yellow peach. The Mr. Universal was delicious. The caramel and oatmeal combination is bursting with flavor and I can see why it's their most popular flavor. But... the yellow peach.... Just wow. Definitely love the creamy peachy flavor. It was so good I actually ended up getting the pint as well. Definitely a delicious way to get your ice cream!

Such a cute spot! They have fun flavors and it's very good. Not as creamy but I like the subtle flavors. I also like that they donate some of their profits to the local community. They were selling these cute prints from a local artist too so we bought some. Owners are very nice and friendly too!

Matcha Ice Cream
Gail M.

After all the online hype, we finally drove out to try it! Biggest downside was no samplers but the place was nice and cozy, service was fast and the ice cream lived up to the hype! The matcha ice cream definitely had the right amount of matcha and their other flavors were great as well. This is definitely a Torrance staple!

I've been a fan of Kansha for years. Not only are their ice cream flavors good, but their owners are super kind and support charity with their sales! Top three flavors (rotate & seasonal): Muscat grape green tea Miso cranberry Hokkaido Milk strawberry!

After a decade since my last review, Kansha Creamery is still one of my favorite ice cream shops in Southern California. Here are few key points: * Each year, the shop closes for the entire month of January for its annual winter break and the shop also occasionally closes on random dates, so check their Instagram page to make sure the shop is open on the day of your visit. * No samples! * $0.75 of every ice cream sold is donated to Community Loving (mutual aid organization that serves unhoused & low-income families & youth in the South Bay with the essential resources they need & deserve). * Each year, Kansha Creamery hosts a kids' flavor contest and turns those flavors into reality & ultimately features on Kansha's menu. * Their ice cream is made with Straus Family Creamery products. * Their pints are made without the use of gums or preservatives which causes them to freeze harder than store-bought ice cream, so place those pints in the fridge for 10-30 minutes before indulging. * Some flavors like black sesame are seasonal, but popular flavors like Mr. Universal and Matcha (both excellent) are available year-round. Two big thumbs up for their ice cream.

Such a cute little shop for freshly made ice cream. Been eyeing this place since it's closed by work and finally got to try them out. Love that they rotate their flavors and that their ice cream is freshly made. Definitely check them out when you're in Torrance. Staff was friendly and courteous while their service was fast. Line can get long but since their staffs hustle, wait time is not overly dramatic. You can also buy their ice cream in pints for to-gos. It is small inside with linited seatings and parking can be tight, it is a small complex shared with other businesses so definitely cannot accommodate too many occupants all at once, so plan accordingly! Staff: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 4/5

All these years I've been coming here, I'm surprised I haven't done a review! My family loves Kansha. Literally can't go wrong with any of their flavors but my go to is the Mr. Universal with red bean and mochi *chef's kiss*!! They sell scoops and pints but no taste testing. Again, can't go wrong with their flavors. Matcha is good as well as their homely pokey and malted cookies and cream. Their flavors change but they have their staples, just have to check their website for the flavors of the week. It's a small creamery with bar seat and a couple low table seating. Owners are super friendly and parking shouldn't be an issue. Price is pretty reasonable as well.

Ask the Community - Kansha Creamery

Are they ever open?

They are always closed on Wed & Sun.

What's gluten free here?

This place is a strictly Ice-creamer so there are no gluten except those with cookies or something like that, they usually carry less than 10 different flavors but so original and not too heavy or too sweet. Try their Matcha flavored it's so close… 

Is the mont blanc no longer available?

Yes, I believe it's seasonal, and it ended in January. It will probably come back once winter starts.

What could make Handel's better??? Expand locations for convenience. Of course the usual x-factors of easy parking, no-wait short lines quick to serve, indoor ice cream parlor seating and the less-than-justified "lower prices, bigger portions" argument everyone has with every food vendor that exists... BUT truth be told, one of the reasons why I rank Handel's so high is the "Value" of the pricing and quantity compared to their peers competition along with the quality.

Still very good every time…read more I recently stopped at the Long Beach location. THERE they have a description of the flavors posted. Far more efficient than each customer asking what each flavor is. PLUS I was in the mood for something chocolate so rather than guessing what could maybe be chocolate and asking about it, I was able to read and come to a decision before it was my turn. This location is closer so I guess if I want it I'll just have to endure.

What was confusing and frustrating was that the customer right before us got one, and then the customer after us was also able to get one. Another gentleman working there even confirmed that they still had it available. When I questioned it, instead of simply explaining the situation, the employee helping us seemed unwilling to make it and gave us attitude. I also asked to sample a couple of other flavors since the item we originally wanted was supposedly unavailable, and her attitude made the whole interaction even more uncomfortable. I completely understand that places run out of items and employees can have difficult days, but this didn't seem to be an availability issue when other customers were being served the exact same thing. It felt like we were simply being refused service for something that was clearly available. We came in expecting a quick, enjoyable ice cream stop, and unfortunately left feeling singled out and disappointed. I hope management looks into what happened and makes sure customers are treated consistently and respectfully.

The place has this classic ice cream shop feel with pastel aesthetics mixed into a modern clean vibe which mixes practicality with style. I LOVE the glass panel decoration and the front decor which are simple details yet convenient decoration. The options have an interesting range in diversity, from ice cream and drinks. Their combinations are so unique, blending trendy flavors like matcha, honey, and many more delicious flavors. My favorite flavor I have tried so far, was the Dalgona Affogato--which I picked because I was thinking of the squid games. The dessert was so smooth but the honey was slightly overbearing. If that is not to your preference, they have other options that can certainly fit to your taste buds. The ice cream is perfectly sweet and an excellent treat in this summer weather. The honey crisps placed on top of the ice were so little, which I wished they had a bit more since it tasted so good with the smooth ice cream. Another thing I hoped was for the affogato to be a bit bigger portion. But then again, I am unsure about the sizings of affogato since this is my first time trying it. Thank you Honeymee Gardena for the experiance, hoping to try more in the future. (Update: Making this edit because I accidentally spelled the cafe name wrong in my previous review which I apologize for. The typo was made because when I was writing the review, I was also very busy so I wrote everything in a hurry and wasn't able to make changes. And yes, this update took so long to be made because when I write reviews, especially in this case, I often do different reviews all at once.)
