We could always use another artisan ice cream shop in the area! I was excited to see Matthan's open with deliciously crafted flavors. I love the Asian inspired influences! We were able to sample a few flavors before ultimately choosing But First, Reverse S'mores, and Paris Morning. My dad is a huge fan of coffee and chocolate which really came through in their But First flavor, the Reverse S'mores is perfect for chocolate and s'mores lovers! I personally enjoyed the Paris Morning, the croissant mixed in with the stracciatella created a perfect balance of flavors and texture. I appreciate the option of the tiny scoop, it's the perfect amount of ice cream for me. If they released monthly / seasonal flavors that could be a huge draw - wishing great success to them!
They were open late during the Friday farmers market so we thought to try and stop by to try a new place. The flavors were so rich and bold! The reverse s'more was my favorite! The chocolate was so decadent. What was most memorable about Paris morning was how a croissant was incorporated into the ice cream and it did not taste soggy. Every bite was like a fresh croissant in sweet cream. So so delicious! I highly recommend and will definitely visit again.
So far so good! I tried their avocado-based icecream which reminded me of street icecream in the Philippines~ I can't wait to try their other flavors and so glad to find another Filipino-owned business open in Monrovia
We walked over to our new neighborhood ice cream shop and absolutely loved it! It's family-owned and operated, and everyone was so welcoming. We tasted nearly everything--and every single flavor was amazing! We left with scoops of Reverse S'mores, Paris Morning, Intertwined, and a Triple Threat-Golden Afternoon combo. We also indulged in a matcha flight paired with a scoop of But First. Everything was unbelievable! We left completely happy and already excited to come back. Congratulations on your soft opening! Wishing your family unlimited success--you've created something truly special! STOP BY AND SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES!!
We came twice in the last week. It's so good and they are so nice there. All the flavors are so unique and tasty! I will definitely be back.
This is the newest ice cream place in town, and they are currently in their soft opening phase. They offer a super interesting lineup of Asian-inspired flavors, and I really liked that the desserts aren't overly sweet. The ube matcha flavor was very matcha-forward rather than tasting too milky, and the black sesame was rich and distinctly sesame-forward as well. There is plenty of seating available both inside and outside the shop. Right now, the crowd seems to be mostly families stopping by to check it out.
Matcha/ Ube (purple & green flavor) tasty rich and unique combo. Chocolate cup and vanilla ice cream; (reverse s'mores & Paris flavor) Rich creamy texture and great flavor.
Great new ice cream spot. They offer seasonal flavors, they just opened up two weeks ago. We tried three different flavors. They also give you samples so you can pick the one you like best. They were very friendly, even opened the door for us. The inside was nice and cold away from the hot weather, inside was very clean and had some tables and chairs to enjoy the cool treats. Will def come back and try more. Dare I say they are better than Moo Moo Mia? You guys tell me what you think.
Matthan's Ice Cream is a new spot that just opened in Monrovia. They specialize in unique flavors that are asian-inspired! We got a double scoop of Intertwined (ube + matcha) and Every Last Bit (lychee + coconut jelly). They both were extremely well done, especially Intertwined as the matcha and ube were both equally balanced in flavor without one outshining the other, and not too sweet! The wait was quick, he answered all of our questions, and he let us sample all the flavors without rushing us. There were plenty of seats to sit and enjoy this little sweet treat, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. We went on a Saturday afternoon and parking is plentiful and it's on Myrtle so there's plenty of shops and restaurants to walk to in that area. We loved this little spot and we can't wait to come back and try their other flavors!
TLDR: There's always something fun about new businesses. They bring something exciting to the community, and they always put their best foot forward. Now, it's a question of maintaining that same standard. I was very happy that they went with fusing multiple flavor profiles together, instead of going with singular flavors. Each flavor is inspired by a story of the owners. Personally, I prefer that you make your own memories inspired by their product. If I had to pick a downside, it's their pint pricing. It's 2-ish dollars more than the places I go to, so it's a bit noticeable. Paris Morning: Toasted Croissant, Dark Chocolate, Stracciatella. Words cannot describe my interest when I saw it. The sample does not do this flavor enough justice. Stracciatella is my favorite flavor, and I feel that they did a very good job of nailing the flavor profile. The dark chocolate helped add a bit more color and balance the sweetness of the Stracciatella. I think the joy of this comes from the croissant. Initially, I wasn't aware that it was there. I just found the "thin wafer like" sheets in the ice cream as a fun added texture. The deeper I got into the pint, I started eating larger (but still soft) chunks. When I realized that it was croissant, I found it very charming. The naming convention suddenly made sense to me, and I feel that this is a sign of good menu design and product design. Taste, texture, and dynamism within the same product that doesn't deviate from what the label promised. Giving people's mouths enough to experience and wonder. Every Last Bite: Lychee and Coconut Jelly. This is as straightforward as it gets. If you like Lychee, you'll like this. It packs a very cool and flavorful punch. I wasn't that sold on it when trying it in the store, but this was a godsend when I was eating it under the hot baking sun. They maintained the same philosophy of needing to add texture within their products. I initially thought the coconut jelly was lychee balls, but I think coconut was the right call. Adding layers to a relatively simple flavor profile while keeping things simple. Ambiance: Pleasant. Seats 10 ish. Decent merch shop(very good quality t-shirts). Service: It was their first day, so the owners were just raring to go. I hope they keep that energy, and I'm looking forward to going back.
Such a cute new ice cream spot! My favorite is the Golden Afternoon -- the flavor instantly reminded me of my childhood in the Philippines and brought back so many nostalgic memories. Everything was delicious, and I'm excited to come back and try more flavors! I'm hoping they'll eventually bring pandesal to the menu and maybe even make a pandesal ice cream sandwich someday. That would be amazing! Definitely worth checking out!

Walked by today and decided to drop in with not-so-high expectations because you don't normally find matcha inside an ice cream shop. But man, did it blow my socks off! Matthan's service was unbelievable. He took his time breaking down the different flavors and combinations. I decided to get the matcha float with the "But First..." ice cream, and I'm so glad I took his recommendation. It was by far the best matcha I've had in the area! I'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

This new ice cream shop (2026) is a notable stop. The flavor profiles are mostly Asian with quality ingredients. The young man who served me is kind and helpful. He let me taste as many flavors as I wanted, and I left with 2 pints. It's on the block right before you enter Old Town Monrovia next to the running shoe store in the live/work building. The concept is unique with flavors like avocado, lychee and black sesame. They offer indoor seating. It's quite clean and has a nice feel. I wish them success and will go back again. read more

Cute ice cream shop on the south-end of old town Myrtle. Their flavors are somewhat exotic, and every one that i tried was delicious! The super-friendly staff is quite generous with samples :) I eventually decided on the "golden afternoon"which is a fun re-load of toffee ice cream. Will definitely be back! read more
