    I wanted to try this place out since I was a fan of Fruit Love before they closed at this location. I was excited to see a Michoacana open in Pasadena too. I got nachos and a raspado de fresa. Nachos were good, pretty standards but expensive. I just don't think nachos should be more than $5 and these were almost $8. I also got a raspado de fresa. Although I could tell they made the fresa syrup fresh and in the kitchen, it tasted almost artificial and like they had mixed it with lechera which I wouldn't expect. I miss the variety of flavors that you could get at Fruit Love like lime and sandia. Apart from the food, service was just okay. There was only one person working so we understand it would take some more time but you also expect quick service when you go to a place like Michoacána and I think we were in line for almost 10 mins with only 1 group in front of us. The inside is clean and spacious enough to sit and eat. Although, again, I miss the spaciousness of Fruit Love and the games they provided to their patrons. Overall, it didn't live up to the expectation or the satisfaction of their predecessor. I'm hoping it just initial opening kinks to be worked out and I'd like to check them out again soon perhaps after a year or so of being open.

    Beautiful. I feel like I'm back in Nogales, Sonora

    I LOVEEEEEEEEEE this place!!! I crave it every single day. Everytime I come the staff is so helpful and kind. Often times they've allowed us to try new flavors they are working on. So generous. Love that it's family owned! I have never tried horchata de coco and I won't have it any other way. I'll literally go grab Mexican food and bring it here to have my delicious horchata drink and a fresas con crema as my dessert. All the ice cream and paletas and drinks are made in house. They have Gansito ice cream! Like whaaaaa?! Please sample it when you're here it's so bomb! Be patient if there's a wait! It's totally worth it!

    Thanks Fernando for the great customer service today!

    This "sniffs in" at 4.5 stars…read more.. I "think" I ordered the Halva sesame coconut. I did a couple of tasters and then I line developed so I quick ordered. -- icy and creamy, moderately so on both -- good milkiness -- medium sweet -- the floss was familiar and interesting, but I do not really need it -- single cup is small/medium sized -- $8.00 is fairly typical in this horrible economy RATING = A Baklava walnut tester was pretty good but too sweet for my new health plan and the cinnamon put me off. Very helpful, efficient and polite STAFF. NOTE: their location is in one of those brick building back alleys so you should do Yelp walking directions

    My wife has had Kinrose Creamery in her bookmarks for years, so we took the opportunity to try it…read moresince we were in the area for escape room action! Parking is a bit annoying in this area, so you'll likely need to take a little walk to get to the alley that Kinrose is on. However, when you do enter, you're welcomed with roses, Pac Man, and unique, sweet treats! We sampled most of the menu and found our favourite flavours to be Sheer Moz Brulee and Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss. The Sheer Moz is a perfectly-balanced banana and comes with banana chips. Delicious! Yet, the more we ate the Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss, the more we loved that one. You'll find little crunchy surprises within the ice cream or the fairy floss (not entirely sure), but it all melts smoothly in your mouth. Based on these two flavours alone would we highly rate Kinrose Creamery. The other flavours can be hit or miss based on your preferences. If you're looking for quality ice cream with unique flavours, then come to Kinrose Creamery! Prices are fair, staff is friendly and efficient, and there are a number of seats within. Additionally, you can play some arcade Pac Man!

    My partner and I love Salt & Straw, esp their monthly series!! The apple cider donut (not pictured)…read moreis so delicious and really tastes like you're eating an apple cider donut. We also ordered their coffee & love nuts pint (very strong coffee), the salted malted chocolate chip cookie dough (our favorite), and tried their sea salt vanilla flavor (our new favorite--the caramel is so rich and smooth). Would highly recommend anyone to stop by Salt & Straw for their ice cream cravings.

    One of the best ice cream shops around. Their ice cream has a very creamy texture that feels dense…read moreand smooth on the tongue. They offer a lot of classic flavors as well as inventive flavors that may sound weird, but somehow work (for example: Pear and Blue Cheese). The limited edition flavors rotate monthly. The employees are super generous with sampling. They'll let you taste as many flavors as you want before ordering. They are friendly about it too. My favorite flavor is Freckled Mint Chocolate Chip. It tastes moderately sweet, with the perfect balance of mint and dark chocolate. Another top flavor of mine is Hazelnut Cookies and Cream. I like that it is made with a hazelnut butter fudge that adds a roasted, nutty sweetness. Because there are so many good flavors, I feel like you can't just get one scoop here. My husband and I had to each get a double scoop cup. You also get a better value with the double scoop vs single scoop. There is also a fridge filled with ice cream pints that you can buy to take home.

The Thai tea swirl soft serve is delicious, especially with corn flakes added for a little crunch. I've also tried the walnut chocolate chip cookie, which is fantastic.

    First impressions: The ambiance was chill, people relaxing…read moremade the atmosphere feel welcoming. The service was great, staff were very friendly and ready to answer any questions we had. The food: I got the thai tea soft serve with boba and the boba was squishy but not too soft; The thai tea had the perfect blend of sweetness from the cream + condensed milk mixture (I'm assuming) and the bitterness from the tea. My boyfriend had the milk soft serve and I'm very picky with my milk soft serves but their ice cream is on my top 3 places that do it well. Not too sweet, more milky in taste and no weird artificial aftertaste. This place is for sure going to be my non-negotiable "We have to get something here." whenever I'm in the Pasadena area.

    Perfect for a hot summer day…read more Finally had a chance to visit Ululani's during the Hollywood Cicilavia 2026. The streets were closed off and we took a quick break for some shaved ice. There was a small line forming prior to opening. We waited about 20 minutes for our order to be made. We shared the Sunset Beach and added the Snow Cap. Probably best to skip the snow cap. I didn't taste the condensed milk at all. The flavor is delicious. Towards the bottom of the shaved ice, there wasn't anymore flavor though.

It was cold yesterday in LA but I happily ate my shaved ice on a bench reliving all the fun I've had in Maui over the years. Hot tip: the ice is good for sure but add a fun topping!!

    Love Bruster's! I find that the flavors offered all are stronger than other handmade ice creams…read more Bruster's changes their flavors throughout the year. Flavors I've enjoyed are butter brickle, chocolate chip, mocha almond fudge, pistachio, matcha, sea salt caramel, English toffee, and butter pecan. Bruster's also offer sorbet. Each year, I wait for the dragonfruit mango sorbet to be featured. When the dragonfruit mango sorbet is offered, I'm there! They have kick'n mango strawberry which actually has a little spicy kick to it! Also offered are Italian icees, sherbet, and non-dairy/oat milk. Have fun at Bruster's!

    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!
