They gave us our soft serves first, followed by my favorite matcha amazake smoothie. Always hits the spot, especially on a warmer days. What I do wish is for them to create a warm version of this. The matcha is strong. Some slight price updates reflected in my menu photos.

Matcha soft serve on Valentine's Day was true love in my stomach. The soft serve was very smooth…read moreand as my Asian auntie's say, "not too sweet." It was accented by a dusting of matcha powder. There is no seating inside and there are only 2 tables outside. Service was quick and she was nice. Quick tap of the good 'ole credit card and she gave us a number. They call your number and you retrieve your order. Next time, I should try their drinks. But today was soft serve day!

One of the best scoops of Ice Cream I've had in a long time! I've had Kinrose Creamery on my list…read morefor a minute and was so happy after my wife and I got to try a scoop. They are located in Mills Alley in Pasadena just look for the bright red sign and signage promoting some flavors. We came by after having dinner. The staff greeted us as we walked in. It was empty when we initially arrived then more customers filtered in shortly after. Staff allowed to sample their unique flavor options. **To note, they offer a few vegan flavors for those with dietary restrictions**. Always a huge plus and positive! The flavors are middle eastern inspired and the details are all listed. My wife and I sampled 2 flavors and we both enjoyed our selections. The flavors are memorable. We happily decided on the Sesame Halve (vegan) & Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell (+$1.00) for myself. The presentation is one of a kind! The topping with the tiny little rose is a nice aesthetic and definitely their trademark. The location offers retro and colorful style seating for 10+ customers if I had to guess . Patio seats are also offered outside. Also, OG Pac-Man arcades are available inside. My wife loved her Sesame Halva and my Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell totally reminded me of a Dubai Chocolate type of vibe with each bite! The whole first time visit was positive and would make me want to come by again to try something else! Presentation on point! Flavors on point! Vibes good! Tummies happy! Come by and just try! Thanks, Kinrose Creamery! ( ^_^)b

My husband and I stopped by here on Monday night after eating at Edwin Mills. My husband had this…read morespot bookmarked a while ago and didn't realize they were neighboring businesses. When we arrived, we were the only two there for a few minutes until more people came. We were greeted right away. We walked down a ramp that led us to their selections. It's a decent-sized shop with a few tables. Each table had a rose in a vase attached via velcro so you don't have to worry about tipping them over. The shop is also nicely decorated with wall art. It's been a few days since then and we can't stop thinking about coming back. They serve unique Middle-Eastern flavored ice cream. I ordered the Sesame Halva which is their vegan ice cream made of Halva ice cream with sesame & coconut. OMG, I've never tasted anything like this before. I love anything that has a sesame profile. If you like that nutty, sweet, and earthy flavor this one is for you. I could taste the coconut, but it wasn't overpowering. There were also little chunks of halva in there that added a slight bit of sweetness. The texture was similar to cookie dough, but softer. Aside from the taste, I loved the simple presentation of the small rose on top of the scoop. It made it look elegant. As you can tell, I am definitely coming back and highly recommend stopping by.

Chill ice cream vibes in Pasadena…read more Went for a late after dinner dessert. Plenty of parking in the lot and on the street. Was not busy when we arrived. They offer 3 samples - so choose wisely. Ended up getting a split scoop of their Almond Brittle & Mackinac Island Fudge and the Mint Chocolate & Oreo. Both flavors were very good - lots of chocolate bits, which what i was looking for. Would come back!

Background On Visit: This shop was on my route to spread news about Masters Of Taste…read more Background On Owners: Bijan & Leila Sadeghi. We can't remember a time when ice cream hasn't been a part of our lives. We were born and raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan where our parents have been in the ice cream industry for over 40 years. Upon moving to Los Angeles in 2010, we sought out a place to get the traditional feel-good ice cream that we grew up eating in the Midwest. When we couldn't find what we were looking for we decided to start a business of our own. We set out to create a product that would satisfy our desire for that creamy delicious ice cream of our youth and offer it to everyone. (Off their website: https://www.bloomfieldcreamery.com/#About-Us ) Background On Establishment: We don't rely on gimmicks to impress our customers; instead we let our products speak for themselves. All of our small-batch, super-premium ice cream is made in-house using all natural and scratch-made ingredients. With a mix of both traditional and unique flavors we strive to satisfy every customer who walks through our doors; kids, adults, and grandparents alike! Mission Statement: At Bloomfield Creamery our mission is to offer feel-good ice cream that the entire family can enjoy! We work to deliver the highest quality ice cream and customer experience at a family-friendly price. We hope our family's love for ice cream can bring joy to yours! Credit Cards: They're accepted Restrooms: There's a unisex restroom available Location/Parking: Located E. Washington Blvd between Sinaloa Ave and N Dominion Ave.. Parking can be found along Washington Blvd.. There's also parking available in the back. Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with a long bar table to sit on. There's also a patio up front to enjoy your ice cream. Entertainment: They have quite a few board games to past by time. Service: Service was great. The assistant store manager was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the shop, and offered great ice cream and cookie dough suggestions. Ice Cream Of Choice: Just make a mental note, that you can only try 3 samples. I tried the ube coconut, peanut butter cup, and maple glazed butter pecan. They were all good, but I decided on the ube coconut for the base of the 50/50. For the cookie dough, I chose the oreo flavor. The ice cream was creamy and paired nicely with the cookie dough. was quite delightful to eat. Bloomfield Creamery: I would love to come back and try other flavors and perhaps try out their froyo.

The Jacksons... You win free ice cream on me if you recognize the pattern. Yes, that's right: these are all siblings who have seamlessly worked together in their respective fields. I raise the list to include Mia and Mark Pedersen - the brother and sister team behind the ice creamery Moo Moo Mia with locations in both Montrose and Monrovia. You won't find Mia and Mark bickering or partaking in sibling rivalry; but you WILL find them creating quality, home made ice cream for Angelinos. Mark and Mia made their way from Denmark to Los Angeles in 2009 initially working in a Danish franchise despite both having a background in ice cream-making. When Covid hit in 2020 with its path of destruction to so many businesses; Mark and Mia decided they should cut their losses and create their own company that they can rely on their decision-making and thus Moo Moo Mia was born. Moo Moo Mia strives to produce Grade-A ice cream using crème de la crème ingredients such as milk from Scott Brother Dairy cows (another sibling company where cows roam free on 900 acres and are hormone free producing sensational milk) and offer unique flavor combinations. After a recent poor gelato experience at another LA business; my boyfriend and I decided to reward ourselves with ice cream from Moo Moo Mia on Honolulu in Montrose (this was our second time at this location). Nestled in the charming central Montrose corridor; Moo Moo Mia welcomes with a pastel color wheel façade/signage and a small square footage ice cream shop. When I say 'small'; I genuinely mean small as Moo Moo Mia is tiny with a display case/order counter and a claustrophobic standing room space with a few loose tables outside. This is definitely an "order and get out" establishment. Due to this congestion, Moo Moo Mia felt a bit hectic on both of our visits which always makes one feel guilty to ask for samples in order to not hold up the line. The flavor options at Moo Moo Mia aren't super extensive (there isn't that much to choose from) BUT there do have those unique combinations Mia and Mark boast of with pride. I have sampled a few flavors at Moo Moo Mia such as Honey Lavender (Sweet cream ice cream layered with delicate ribbons of lavender and finished with a touch of raw organic honey - so good with perfect lavender notes!), March flavor of ice cream with Luck Charms marshmallows and Sweet Taro. On our second visit, my boyfriend kept it simple with a single cone ($5.50) of Madagascar Vanilla Bean (Made with imported ground Madagascar vanilla beans) and a kid's cup ($4.25) of March's monthly flavor Coconut Ube for me. Mark and Mia aren't exaggerating about Moo Moo Mia's ice cream as it truly is quite good: creamy, thick and not overly sweet; the texture is perfection. The Honey Lavender holds my heart but the Coconut Ube was also delicious although it tasted of 95% ube with a small 5% after taste of coconut water. Good thing I like Ube! My boyfriend's vanilla was, in his words, "The best vanilla!" and I agree that Moo Moo Mia truly elevates a basic flavor making it extra special. The consensus is that the ice cream is wonderful, no doubt. The customer service at Moo Moo Mia leaves a lot to be desired, however. During both visits the associates were very dry, somewhat curt - although not rude, per se - and are literally only there to get the job done and that's it. Even though this isn't too terrible; it prevents Moo Moo Mia from being a perfect experience. Moo Moo Mia is a delicious and quality option for an ice cream treat that you can truly taste but the lack of numerous flavor options, the teen-tiny shop and the customer service are flaws that keep it from being exceptional. Despite this, Moo Moo Mia is recommended for all ice cream lovers - whether you have a sibling or not!

There are so many good dessert places to choose from in the Arcadia Shopping Mall…read more Churns Creamery is a relatively new ice cream and coffee shop. We came here to try their ice cream. Food: 5/5 Their ice cream flavors were unique featuring some Asian inspired flavors like yuzu and kumquat and some unique flavors like chunks & swirls and pbs crisp. I we got their kumquat and chunks & swirl flavors. Both of them were really good. The kumquat was really rich yet not too sweet. Service: 5/5 The servers were very helpful and let us try some different flavors. The cute part is that they have lactate for anyone who has lactose intolerance.

The runners also provided additional recommendations to satisfy our various demands LOL. All of our shakes, ice cream sundaes and gelatos were generous and delicious. Even the local firefighters stopped by for treats. While most of us waited in line, one of us secured a table behind the building. Tables without a cover benefitted from the surround trees and building to fend off the glaring sun. We shopped afterwards to "walk off the calories". Great location + great treat on a hot day = great memories.

I was so enthused by the availability of parking spots within the shopping center that I decided to walk around the area! Oh, they have a Target there, too! I'll definitely bring my friends back in the next couple of weekends so we can hang out and enjoy the environment around us.

I recently found out Bruster's Real Ice Cream has made its way to La Canada Flintridge Town Center…read morenear Descanso Gardens. Cool! I love the garden and I love ice cream. Perfect location! Got here in the evening. Parking appears limited where I was parked, but I know there are more parking at the town center. Anyway, I got lucky with a close parking spot. No inside seating. Just a couple tables and chairs outside. They weren't super busy at the time. I was the only person in line. This is my 2nd time trying Bruster's. My first time was at their Rancho Cucamonga location. Nick, the staff member who helped me, was very nice and helpful. I asked for recommendations on their best flavors. He graciously offered them. Thank you Nick! I got to sample a handful of flavors... Boston Cream Pie, Sea Salt Caramel, Death By Chocolate, Caramel Macchiato, and Cinnamon. Thanks for the samples! All the flavors were very good except for the Cinnamon which I thought was very light in taste. Since I was driving, I chose an ice cream shake instead of a cup or cone. Caramel Macchiato was my pick! It had a really nice caramel flavor with coffee bean bits. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't pile up the ice cream to the top of the lid. It stopped at the top of the cup. I felt I was shorted some ice cream unfortunately. Hence, 4 stars! Nevertheless, Nick was amazing. His service was fantastic. Wonderful conversation and experience. Ice cream shake was yummy. It was finished before I arrived home. YES, I will come back to try their other unique flavors! Thank you Bruster's!
