Paradis Ice Cream is located in Old Town Seal Beach and everything here is handmade. I originally came in because they offer custom hot cocoas, including an ice-cream hot cocoa, which sounded amazing. I sampled the s'mores flavor and wanted to use that for my hot cocoa, but since it was close to closing and only one person was working, the espresso machine was already off. Totally understandable. What really stood out to me was how fresh and delicate their ice cream is. Nothing felt overwhelming or overloaded with ingredients. I ordered the chocolate chip caramel banana sundae and honestly thought it might be too sweet or heavy, especially with caramel and chocolate involved. But it was the opposite. The chocolate chips were thin shavings with the perfect light crunch, the caramel was subtle, and you could actually taste real banana. Nothing artificial, nothing excessive. The same goes for the s'mores flavor. It tasted like the real thing, super soft, creamy, and well balanced. The textures were amazing. I usually never finish my ice cream, but I finished the entire thing and already can't wait to come back. I'm especially excited to try their s'mores hot cocoa next time. read more

Came here after going to the beach, super clean and a great treat. The ice cream flavors were fairly unique. My only gripe is that it costs $6 for a small cup. These prices are crazy. Rocher: 9/10 Smores: 8/10 (marshmallows not good) read more

Affogato is laughable! I ordered 2 of them and they gave the smallest scoop of ice cream that was literally all melted from espresso before it was even handed to me. It was literally a hot paper cup of espresso with some vanilla milk floating on top. I figured it was a mistake and asked the server if that was normal and she said affogato comes with only one tiny scoop. It HAS to be a mistake though because the affogatos I bought are $9 but the menu shows you can buy a small cup (which is TWO scoops for $6) AND an espresso shot (for $2.75) for $8.75... The server did not want to hear it and just said that is what it is and I was forced to shamefully buy another medium cup of same ice cream just to add to both to make them respectable edible affogato. Pretty lame service, understanding, and training if this was a mistake. read more

Great place and memories for me since this this the place that my kid and I hung out when he was little and during CoVid period plus also a play where I took my kid and his cousins and/or his friends to have sweet treats. Small but great vibe with cute and clean cut and bright place. Great choices and seasonal choices throughout the year. Also they do have great coffee here too. Staff mostly are nice and friendly service. There are benches outside and throughout the street plus walking distance to the beach and the pier. The ice cream are fantastic, perfectly mixed well, smooth and tasty, not too sweet but perfectly sweet too hit the sweet tooth. Love this place a lot. read more

First time customers. Stopped by for a lil ice cream date. It was clean and welcoming. Nothing but great vibes and customer service being received from the associates working. Everything behind the glass was looking delicious and appealing enough to request for samples. Got 2 different scoops on a waffle cone which was made fresh in front of our eyes. Prices and portions are exceptional considering the location and quality of service and food. Not a long wait either. The ice cream coffee was so amazing. Wasn't old or stale. You could taste the freshness. Should've gotten more lol. No complaints whatsoever. Will be returning in the future. read more

Coming down Seal Beach with some friends only gets better when you order ice cream. I thought this place was great for that. My friend treated me some ice cream when I meant to pay for it myself, but this ice cream was pretty good. There were a variety of options to order, but I wanted mine not to be too sweet. So I mixed it with some type of berry flavor and coffee flavor. It was an odd mix, but I still like the taste. The people who served the ice cream worked hard and were cool. The place was not that small for an ice cream shop, probably closer to average. Overall, great experience! read more

After the Pasadena location closed down I didn't think I'd be able to ice cream from Paradis so I was really happy to find this location close to my new home. My husband and I drove out on a weekend night and it wasn't too crowded when we arrived. There were maybe two customers in front of us and only one employee working. We were able to sample a couple of flavors so I got to rediscover the flavor that I loved most. We ordered a drink, scoop of ice cream and ended up purchasing 3 pints to go from the grab-and-go freezer. When we were sampling the flavors, a bunch of people came in after us so I think the employee was overwhelmed. Overall flavors are delicious, service was average (hopefully they're more staffed for those who come after meals), and store was clean. There's a good amount of parking available. Since we went later in the evening, I'm sure most people were either home or still out eating. We will definitely be back once we finish eating our pints at home! read more

Good ice cream, location is right by the beach road so is more pricy than usual. These 2 items came out to about $13 which isn't too bad. They have a lot of trendy and unique flavors. Not overly sweet just right! Will be back when we go to Seal beach again! 7.5/10 read more

This is a mix between American and European ice cream. They said it's made fresh everyday. The sorbets use fresh fruit and the banana ice cream uses real bananas. A love box is three flavors and costs $30. They let me sample all the flavors and they said their motto is "you have to try before you buy." Flavor is fresh and delicious, and the service is outstanding. read more

After grabbing dinner nearby and window shopping, my daughter requested some dessert. Paradis caught our attention as it was brightly lit, had a little line, and, had a case full of ice cream options. My daughter ordered chocolate ice cream with marshmallows in a waffle cone. Her dad ordered the coffee and chocolate chunk. I ordered the banana split ice cream in a waffle cone. Absolutely delicious! Wish this was down the street from home! read more

Took my girlfriend out for some Ice Cream last night for dessert after dinner. We stopped at Paradis. I had not been here in awhile. I used to come here quite often when I lived in Cypress back in the days. I ordered me a Salted Caramel Ice Cream, and she got the Strawberry Sorbet. The Salted Caramel is FIRE. I love the Sweet saltiness of the flavors. Nice customer service, and good area near the beach too. I am coming back as a regular again. read more

Overall, really enjoyed the ice cream at Paradis. We got the Cookie Butter Biscoff ice cream and it tasted very good! Would recommend the flavor. read more

Super friendly employees! Enjoyed an affogato during the Seal Beach Christmas Parade at night while others enjoyed hot lattes (definitely recommend the affogato with the vanilla bean). This place is located a perfect strolling distance away from the pier. Will have to come back during the day to try their other options! read more

my friends and i wanted to grab some ice cream after going to the beach so found this ice cream shop on the maps/yelp. sadly, this ice cream was kind of disappointing. maybe this is danish style ice cream but there was more ice than the cream so it tasted more watered down than a strong creamy flavor, especially for the coffee one. read more

Got the Dubai cup & a cookie sundae. I won't lie, kind of sad to see 1 girl working her butt off and the line wrapped out the door... she called her boss and it sounded to me like 'oh well, if you're good it's good...' from the bosses end. An actual boss would come in, or would make sure they weren't rollin' solo. Kudos to the girl doing this by herself, shame on the boss for not recognizing she needs help especially if she's called you several times saying 'it's still super busy...' read more

I went in to Paradis today to get my birthday reward. I received an email showing my 5.00 reward. I gave my phone number to the employee and she said we can't look anything up by phone number. I showed her the reward and she just kept saying it is tied to a card. So I didn't get my birthday reward and I didn't get credit for the 15.00 I spent on Ice cream tonight. Disappointed... read more

I'm sure all their ice cream is delicious- others I brought here told me so. But I am in love with their vegan peanut butter chip ice cream! There is not one person I've brought here that hasn't agreed! Don't let "vegan" scare you - it's delicious with a capital D! read more

I found Paradis ice cream thru "too good to go" app! I reserved my "surprise bag" and came to pick up later in the day. I got 2 pints for $8! It's a surprise bag, so they pick and chose what to give you. I tried both flavors as soon as I got home and LOVED BOTH! Taro was so creamy and flavorful while the banana sundae had chocolate bits in it, yummm!!! I recommend checking out the app to see what other local shops are around and/or seeing if Paradis is on there to try out their ice cream without spending too much $! Honorable Mentions: -Parking is horrible read more

It may be a "me issue" but paying $1.25 for your cone after you just spent $5.00 on an Ice Cream is just crazy! The Ice Cream was good, but not $5.00. Service: The service was good, the ladies behind the counter were super nice and did not rush my kids (that is a big deal for me) they let me 13 year old try a few flavors before landing on one. They also let us use our free ice cream coupon we got outside. The lady at the register was not mean, but also not that welcoming. Ice Cream: It was creamy and the flavors were good, but it tasted like a basic ice cream, $3 price point tops. To also have to pay an extra $1.25 for a cone is just bonkers to me. Bruster's around the comer is our go to, It's $7 for a small but that comes with 2 scoops so about $3.50 a scoop. Overall: It was clean and had a nice vibe, but I was just not that impressed. Would I come back? Probably not, but this is just my opinion. read more

My granddaughter loves ice cream with sprinkles and wants to go here whenever she goes to the beach. While she can't really tell that the ice cream is amazing I can. The service is outstanding as is the location steps to the beach. read more

Came after brunch and the service was quick and staff was friendly! The inside is very modern, and stylish. There's sadly not much space to sit inside or outside, but it is a great treat to walk around the area on a bright sunny day and there is a park and the beach right nearby. Got the straciatella flavor which was the perfect gelato texture and melted in my mount quickly. Would come back for more straciatella! read more

My husband and I love walking over to Paradis for our ice cream fix. They have rotating flavors so you are never bored in your selection. Each time we go in we are greeted by friendly staff who patiently explains the current flavors. With unlimited samples, it hard to narrow down a favorite or two! Overall recommend for anyone in old town looking for a small-town ice cream shop. read more

Some of the best Ice Cream I've had. The Amarena Cherry was by far my favorite that I sampled. Josette helped us, my younger brother asked for like 10 samples and she was very patient and gave great recommendations. Will be coming back! read more

While in Seal Beach my husband wanted to pick up ice cream to enjoy at the house. We dropped by to get two of of their pint sizes which were already made and in their fridge. We got their taro and cookie butter. Both were good but he completely finished the cookie butter so he liked that much more. I liked the taro though. Both weren't too sweet and were both creamy and good. I also liked that they had other unique flavors such as creme burlee. They also had vegan options. Besides ice cream they can make sundaes, shakes, affogato, and their popular love box. Since it is located on main street parking can be hard nearby. We did paid street parking. read more

Walking through the neighborhood the other afternoon on a recent visit and came across this cool little frozen desserts shop. Really great small batch ice creams and sorbets made fresh daily. Seriously small batch work. Walk up counter service is friendly and kind, offering samples if needed and time to look, with a variety of size options and container choices, the amount of flavors available is impressive for how small this shop is - I went for a waffle bowl regular (3 scoops) orange and peach sorbet, salted caramel ice cream and rocher (as in almond rocher) ice cream for my three scoops and each was steller in its own right. The sorbet, orange and peach was so flavorful it was reminescent of an orange crush soda and fresh peach overtones. Both of the ice creams also reminded me of true old school rock salt "hand cranked" soft style like my grandmother made - that consistency and creaminess that was time honored tradition from my youth. The salted caramel was rich and full caramel flavor with hints of saltiness in every bite. The rocher, spot on like the crunchy little chocolatey hazelnut balls wrapped in foil. The "waffle" bowl a delicious crunchy butter waffle flavor and consistency, very good. This is a great little ice desserts shop thats well worth a visit and support. 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the kind counter help 00798 read more

I visited on a hot weekday afternoon. Their signage proclaims this to be Danish ice cream. I'm not exactly sure what that means. I guess they have locations in Denmark? They pride themselves in finding the best natural ingredients and make ice cream fresh daily. I ordered two scoops in a cup - stracciatella and the second scoop was caramel chocolate brownie chunk...or something like that. I forget the exact name and can't find it listed on the flavor options on their website so maybe it's one they don't normally have. There is only a table or two inside, both of which were occupied, but they have several tables outside so I took a seat outdoors to enjoy my ice cream as I listened to a street musician strum his guitar. The stracciatella had great flavor and a vast number of chocolate chip pieces. The texture was light and creamy. I was quite pleased with this choice. My other scoop had some delicious chunks of brownie throughout. Honestly, I didn't really get a caramel flavor, it was just kind of sweet. Still enjoyable though. The variety of flavors (including some vegan ones) make this a great ice cream stop. read more

Lou is the best! Had all the answers for what would be best for a dinner party dessert that had to be wheat free. No brownies or cookies - who knew so many wonderful flavors would have wheat in them - but so many others that are delicious without! She packed it all up including spoons, cups and napkins. Perfect! read more
