I'm a fan of shaved ice, and Mewame does a unique shaved ice desert. It's all coconut or nut milk based. The flavors are bright and clean and it makes a perfect treat on a warm day.

Wow wow wow! I am so amazed with this shop and can't wait to return to try more flavors! All the desserts are vegan and made-to-order, and the flavors are so unique. After getting recommendations from the cashier, I went with the summer special: Chill Voyage - yuzu coconut spirulina shaved ice. It ended up being super refreshing on the hot day! I loved the presentation with a fork and tray too. It made the overall experience so nice and welcoming. I have no idea how they get ice to be so fluffy! It is amazing, truly an art. I'd love to go back to try more flavors and even a shake. You can park in the Trader Joe's parking structure - 1 hour free parking.

Discovering Korean bingsu (shaved ice) was such a surprise for me, and Mewame completely changed the way I think about desserts. I never imagined ice could be so soft, fluffy, and full of flavor--it literally melts in your mouth. I fell in love after the very first bite. Ever since I found this place, I've been coming here almost every day. My favorite is the chocolate bingsu, but honestly, every flavor I've tried has been amazing. I've had bingsu at a few other places in Koreatown, but Mewame is by far my favorite. The quality, presentation, and taste are on another level. The café is spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed, and I love the location too. 20/10--absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Matcha smoothie & honeydew shaved ice cream
Maria D.

Absolute heaven! We ordered a matcha shake and a honeydew shaven ice cream. The matcha quality is seriously the best and the shake texture added a special touch. Def a lot more on the dessert side because of this. We shared one of each. The honeydew was the perfect flavor option for the ice. It's sweetness and freshness complimented well with the cream and the cookie. The texture of the shaved ice was fun as well. Service was very quick. They serve your items on nice wooden plates. I also enjoyed the layout and the table designs. Great size for optimizing room. There were lots of people when we went, but it made the ambiance feel nice. Great spot to come with friends, family, or any large group. Street parking available.

Pistachio and chill voyage
Olivia H.

Have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got to! I got their two current specials (the chill voyage and the pistachio). They are beautiful desserts and the cafe is so aesthetic. There's seating indoors and outside and street parking or neighborhood parking nearby. Everyone was really friendly too and patient while I decided what to get. For the actual desserts, they are so creamy while also being dairy free! They're light, not too sweet, and the toppings add texture and more flavor making them the perfect treat. The only downside is that they are quite pricey for the size so they're more of a specialty than a regular treat.

Matcha
Cindy C.

We got the matcha bingsoo and it was so good! I liked how strong the matcha flavor was and the softness of the ice. It also wasn't overly sweet. It was a bit hard parking and finding the store. The cashier was so friendly and helpful with recommendations. I would come back to try their other flavors!

Spring Seasonal Flavor: Jasmine Green Tea Shaved Ice
Delilah S.

I parked across the street to visit Trader Joe's and remembered I had been wanting to try Mewame! When I walked in, the space was moody and clean. The staff member was kind and friendly as well as patient when it came to me trying to decide which flavor to try. I chose the Spring Seasonal Flavor which happened to be Jasmine Green Tea and it was incredibly delicious. Sweet, fragrant, and light. It made for a perfect blend that was refreshing and smooth. I thought the texture of the shaved ice was really interesting and melted in a soft serve way. Overall, highly recommend. Absolutely worth a try for vegans and non-dairy people alike.

Starting off, the service was nice and quick. Very aesthetically pleasing interior. Tables were a bit dirty, needed to wipe down but expected at dessert place. As for the dessert itself it was okay. We got the hojicha and jasmine green milk shaved ice. Tbh they were both okay. They had the flavor profile that they weee trying to present, the shaved ice is different texture then what I'm used to having. Idk if I love it but it's not bad; however, I think would much rather have had it in drink form. That being said, I was between a 3 and 4 but mewame is such a tough name I had to give them a 4. Very good interior design too!

Amanda L.

We both ordered their "shaved ice" which comes with coconut whipped cream and a gluten-free cookie on top. Unfortunately, both of the items were underwhelming. There wasn't anything that especially stood out to me. Great service though -- the staff were very kind! Ordered... Houjicha ($9.00 -- special collaboration with Rocky's Matcha) -- rocky's matcha houjicha, madagascar vanilla, oat, and houjicha powder. Strawberry ($8.50) -- strawberry & strawberry powder.

Inside
Maria A.

I can't stop thinking about this coconut cream matcha smoothie, it always hits the spot and is so satisfying and refreshing while not being too sweet. Small little cafe tucked away but it is definitely yummy! Their shaved ice is also delicious! Service fast and friendly and it hasn't gotten too crazy packed.

Matcha

Came here with a friend for a post meal dessert. Street parking on Santa Monica is tough (and metered!) but there is free street parking on the side street this is located on if you're good to walk a bit. Seating is exclusively indoors and its limited BUT mewame is right next to a small outdoor park where you can take your dessert to-go and eat at! Matcha shaved ice 4.5/5, this was delicious and I would definitely would come again! It's more of a traditionally bitter green tea tasting matcha flavor and the hints of coconut throughout add some sweetness. Each portion is big enough to share for two!

Matcha and jasmine tea
Tiffany M.

So far only tried the matcha flavor but I loved it. Will definitely be back to try other flavors. Service was great! The girl at the front was friendly and our order was done quick. Really loved how the matcha was not very sweet which balanced out well with the sweet cream on top. This spot is small and cute, really enjoyed coming here with friends.

blue yuzu, pistachio (seasonal flavor)
Courtney W.

Quick service! Cute store, limited seating but there are tables outside! Nice staff. Always looks so aesthetically pleasing! This is my new favorite dessert shop. Love the flavors. Street parking available with metered parking. Usually enough spots to park, have never had a hard time here.

There are several flavors available and the worker presented the ice cream scoops so nice and smooth. The care and dedication is so nice. I'd recommend the passion fruit flavor and lychee if it's available! The flavors also change seasonally. There aren't a whole lot of tables maybe like a couple the last time I went. It feels like a cute little shop with an ordering window.

I walked up to the window and the worker was hunched over the cooler on his phone, took one glance at me and went back to his phone. No greeting, no acknowledgment, not a single word. I took a moment to check the menu and waited a few more moments in the hopes that he looked up at me - he didn't. I should've just walked away at this point. But I didn't. I said I was ready and asked what flavors he recommends since it's my first time. "Well you can sample the flavors" . . . Me: "oh I know but I'm curious what YOU recommend" So finally he offered the birthday cake and I asked for a sample of the milk moon too. I went with the split scoop for $10 but an extra charge for the seasonal flavor so it came out to $11. I will say - the portion is generous and the presentation is nice. The worker was a little bit more talkative upon bringing my cup and the card reader to pay. But it didn't make up for the initial interaction, or lack thereof. The flavors are pretty mild but the moon milk definitely had the floral and "spiced" flavor to it. It was interesting and different than most ice cream around LA but nothing that made me go "wow" and want to get it again. The vanilla was very mild and tasted more like a milk flavor. Both scoops were creamy and smooth without being too sweet. The birthday cake I sampled was very sweet so I'm glad I didn't choose that. Overall it just wasn't impressive for me to return and the service aspect doesn't help the situation

They have so many locations and only wish they had more. The closest to me is about 20mins away but it's worth the drive every time. I love this location especially. Always such friendly staff and never have to wait in a long line. Basically, if you're a newbie, you go in and ALWAYS as for the "seasonal flavors" for tasting. They give you tasters on silver spoons and you drop it down this hole when you're done. It's literally their culture to give you a taste of everything on their seasonal menu so don't skip out on this experience. It's the best way to try their ice cream. FUN FACT: they also have 1-2 flavors that are considered "last chance" flavors which means they are about to run out so get it before it's gone. Each month I go in to try another tasty flavor and it never disappoints but I am sometimes that girl who tries the new stuff but ends up getting her usual order (chocolate brownie) and am always happy. Just the smell of sugar cone alone when you walk in gets you hooked. The atmosphere is just so welcoming. Don't be intimidated by the many flavors to choose from because there are a lot. I like to get their double scoop in a waffle cone, but they also have awesome split scoop options for those more adventurous and want to try multiple flavors in one scoop. Saves you for when you're keeping your sugar levels down. There are usually always places to sit inside or outside so you can enjoy your goodies right away. They even have cool swag if you become a huge fan like me. If you like a little savory and sweetness in your ice cream this is the place to be.

There's always a pretty long wait, but it moves pretty quickly. The employees are efficient with taking orders and scooping ice cream. I absolutely love how Salt & Straw has a changing seasonal menu. It's so fun to see what unique flavors/themes they have for every month. I vividly remember their cereal theme, which featured different delicious cereal flavors. They have a kid's scoop, which is a smaller (and cheaper) singular scoop if you're feeling less hungry. Excited to visit again!

OMG folks when I'm at the Farmers Market it ain't clothes or food Frank desires, all I'm thinking…read moreabout is the RootBeer Float at Bennett's that floats my boat... This frosty ice cream beverage is the Crème de la crème of old school beverages and there's only one place for that and yes folks it's Bennetts ! Ok, some background for you. This place is an OG institution @ The Farmers Market. Plus it's a family owned joint on Fairfax street since 1946 and no I haven't been coming that long. What makes it extra special is the scratch-made ice cream being served @ Bennett's Ice Cream inside. The ice cream is made by the family and made fresh in small batches on-site using dairy sourced weekly. Now that you have some background let's talk about me again. Ok so I walk up to counter and I faced many options but nothing is better the Rootbeer float. The Jr Achiever asks what I want and I pontificate one vanilla Rootbeer float... As I watch my watched my beverage being assembled I salivated heavily. First a giant scope of vanilla then ice cold Rootbeer slowly poured over the top and the frothy head of foam arises on top. What a beautiful site to gaze upon... I was handed my masterpiece , I paid and then consumed with much joy.... Nothing better in life than enjoying a delicious beverage. It's the simple things in life that make it worth living. FRANK B SIGNING OUT FROM BENNETT'S ICE CREAM !

This ice cream spot has been here for a long time! And I'm not surprised as I was so hot on my walk…read moreover to the Farmer's Market that I immediately looked for something cold. I had the mango sorbet - it was absolutely delicious. I could have eaten a gallon of it! A bit pricey for scoop size - but I guess that is expected in LA. The market was so busy, so you might have trouble finding a seat, but a scoop from Bennett's was a perfect treat on an incredibly hot day.

We've become big fans of Bacio di Latte after visiting their locations in Brentwood, Topanga…read moreVillage, and Calabasas. One thing we really appreciate is that they make their gelato fresh on-site every day, and you can definitely taste the difference. The texture is incredibly smooth and creamy, and the flavors are rich (sometimes overly sweet for me). They have a great selection, so there's always something new to try, including seasonal flavors that keep things interesting. Our favorites so far are the Giandujotto, which has that amazing combination of hazelnut and chocolate, and the Tiramisu, which tastes just like the classic Italian dessert in gelato form. Both are absolutely delicious, and we keep coming back to them even though there are so many other tempting options. Their affogato is also fantastic. There's something about pouring espresso over that creamy gelato that makes for such a great treat, especially if you're a coffee lover. Another thing that stands out is how consistently good the experience has been at all three locations. The shops are always spotless, the staff is friendly and attentive, and service is surprisingly quick even when there's a line, which seems to happen quite often given how popular these places are. Each location has a nice, welcoming atmosphere, and it's always a pleasure stopping by. Bacio di Latte has easily become one of our favorite spots for gelato.

Besides their amazing gelato, they also sell gelato by the pint if you want to take some home. I also noticed they had brownies, pies, and cookies available, which all looked delicious. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality gelato with excellent customer service, Bacio di Latte is definitely worth a visit!
