Perla's ice cream in Glendale is beyond amazing. The ice cream here is so delicious. I had to get a flight back to June and July. I first heard about Perla from my cousin's wedding back in June in Woodland Hills area. The service here is beyond amazing since we get to try the samples multiple times. The ambience was nice. It had plenty of seating. read more

Great spot for Filipino ice cream. I got the flight because I wanted to try a bunch of flavors lol. The mais con queso and white coffee flavors were the winners for me and the ube was great... The Louisiana banana is a little bit sweet for me but it did have good flavor, and I love that they use real banana (I found a banana piece as I finished it). I also really like the touch of Filipino family pictures placed on the wall, it gives it a nice homely feel inside. For LA, the price is going to be about what you'd expect, but I would definitely come here again and get myself a waffle cone on a hot day... especially on a Sunday when I tried this place because it's quiet and peaceful outside. I hope to see this business do well read more

Just imagine enjoying a night out in the Philippines where the dirt is on the ground, there are plenty of tables and chairs to go around, many lights above the beautiful sky while eating a bite of delicious, creamy ice cream catered to the Filipino craft. That's how I felt when I went to Perlas Ice cream and enjoying the food outside. I first heard about this place when Perlas Ice Cream advertised their ice cream in their Instagram page and I was curious to go, but never had the time to experience it until early July when my sister, brother, friends, and even my son were in the area after having a KBBQ dinner nearby. We HAD to try this place out! I loved trying different flavors Perlas had to offer - milo crunch, turon, ube. They all were delicious, not too sweet. My favorite was the turon and especially loved the texture. For their prices they are affordable, service was great and friendly, there is plenty of street parking available. Overall, check out Perlas for Filipino-flavored ice cream. read more

We came 15 min before closing time and the servers were so sweet, they welcomed us in and reminded us we could sample the flavors. Every single flavor was so delicious and creamy. They do have 1 dairy free option. My favorites were the Mais con queso, Louisiana banana (like turon w vanilla icecream), and calamansi creamsicle (so refreshing)! The decor is so cutesy and homey with homage to their Filipino roots and some indoor and plenty outdoor seating! They also have free stickers! Loved loved loved it and will be back for many sweet treats! read more

Was so happy to hear of a Filipino ice cream spot opening in this area. Prices are fair, staff is friendly, and there is a nice outdoor seating area as well as some limited seating inside. The last time I went, we ordered their flight which is 4 slightly smaller than standard (but still decently sized) scoops. We realized that they'd given us one of the wrong flavors, and the team kindly offered to give us an entirely new flight! We declined, as we couldn't finish that much ice cream, but thought that was very generous customer service. My favorites are the turon, mais con queso, and Louisiana banana. I've also tried the buko pandan, halo halo, tsokolate, Milo crunch, calamansi creamsicle, and all are well-balanced, not too sweet, and flavorful. They all taste true to their Filipino flavors/desserts they're inspired by and have creamy, non-icy textures. Their waffle cones are also excellent! Come support this amazing ice cream spot! read more

Ice Cream: 10/10 EVERY SINGLE flavor was AMAZING! Just pick one and it won't disappoint you! I ended up getting the calamansi creamsicile and milk/avocado. But DEFINITELY get/try the Turon. The flavor was great but then that after taste hits you and BAM HEAVEN! Never thought I'd like ice cream this much! Best believe Im going to let all the people i know about this spot!

He was so patient with us while we picked out our flavors. GREAT service! Tips: Parking lot it's small, so you may have to find street parking or parking in the neighborhood.If possible. read more

New Filipino Ice Cream shop in the Glendale area that's worth checking out! I visited this ice cream spot on opening day and they had a buy one get one free scoop deal so my friends and I shared a variety of flavors! Here's what we tried: -Buko Pandan: The flavor was on point in this one! I loved the coconut and pandan flavors. -Mais con Queso: The flavor was also on point! I was surprised at how good this one was. Creamy and corny flavors that reminds me of the ice cream in the Philippines. Warning that this is pretty strong in corn flavor. -Milo Crunch: Chocolaty and crunchy. Indulgent and yummy. -Louisiana Banana: Reminds me of desserts Filipino aunties make. Surprisingly good and I liked the banana flavor. -Calamansi Creamsicle: Tart and creamy. -Turon: Flavor was on point, but I didn't like the texture. Would recommend crunchier spring roll bits. -Halo-Halo: This one tasted like a cake cone to me. Not my most favorite flavor. All the ice cream was generally creamy and delicious. They did melt pretty quick though. Around $6 per scoop I believe. The service here was pretty good and the staff were nice. They also explained the flavors to my friends. There's tables and seating, but outdoors only. They also have complimentary water cups which is nice. For the bathroom, it's behind the restaurant. For parking, there's ample street parking nearby. read more

Perla's is so cute with some seating inside and outside. Their ice cream is smooth and creamy with exotic filipino flavors. I appreciate the reasonable sizes, especially if you're full and just want to squeeze in a little satisfying dessert. This shop is is very "Masarap!!!" :-) read more

My wife and I got to spend the day with our daughter because she was serving as a Moderator for a Filmmaker Panel and we were blessed to see her excel at something she had not done before. Despite claiming she was nervous, we could not tell one iota and she seemed a natural at something she was doing for the first time. We were so proud of her. Our daughter thanked us by treating us to lunch and then taking us to Perlas Ice Cream shop for dessert. She has wanted to take us here for sometime and she raved about how amazing the ice cream was. We wholeheartedly concur with her positive assessment of Perlas. If you're a fan of Filipino/Asian inspired ice cream flavors, you'll love this business. You don't even have to be Filipino or Asian to enjoy the ice cream here. It's quality and flavorful ice cream for anyone. Besides the ice cream, the stellar customer service from the young Filipino dude made our first time visit a noteworthy one. Perlas can be found in Glendale, CA., specifically in the Montrose neighborhood. There's a row of businesses on Oceanview and Verdugo Avenue. It's parallel to Schreiner's and a short walk to Domino's Pizza. There's free parking close to the shop and there's street parking. Perlas is a small ice cream shop with a small indoor seating area consisting of cushioned bench style seating. There is covered outdoor seating where there are pink metallic round tables and pink folding chairs adjacent to trees providing more shade. Inside the shop, the focal point are the rows of ice box storage containers holding the ice cream; there is decorative lighting; I really enjoyed the shelves on one wall that held Filipino grocery items; the framed pics of family and other items representing the Filipino culture was a nice touch; and I really liked the hidden drawer in the order counter that had packs of Lactaid. Kudos to the young Filipino dude who was friendly, accommodated our sample requests, and provided outstanding customer service. From Google, Perlas Ice Cream is a family-owned, Filipino-inspired ice cream shop, known for unique, handcrafted flavors like ube, strawberry matcha, and banana foster with a Filipino rum swirl, blending Southeast Asian influences with classic desserts. My daughter had visited Perlas previously and had told me that I would enjoy visiting because they serve Filipino style ice cream. She was totally right that I would love the ice cream and my effusive praise for their ice cream started after I tasted the samples I requested. I asked to taste Buko Pandan, Turon, Louisiana Banana, and Mais Con Queso. I also tasted Ube because my daughter requested that as a sample. Out of the several samples, I ordered a double in a cup of Buko Pandan and Turon. Buko Pandan is coconut and pandan ice cream. Turon contains caramel, saba banana, jackfruit, and toasted spring roll wrapper. It was flavorful from first taste, creamy, provided respite from the warm weather, and I savored every bite. Out of the two ice cream flavors I consumed, my favorite was turon, which is a popular Filipino dessert that's a sweet spring roll filled with ripe saba bananas and jackfruit, coated in brown sugar, and deep-fried until crispy and caramelized. Perlas turon was that dessert, but in ice cream form, and it is a Must Order. It truly was a blessing to watch our daughter do her thang and to spend quality time with my two fave ladies. The cherry on top of the proverbial whip cream sundae was our visit to Perlas Ice Cream and their ice cream needs to be in that proverbial sundae. Seriously, it's that delish!! read more

Solid spot in the La Crescenta/Glendale area! Loved the Filipino-inspired flavor options. We got the flight and the split so we could try 6 half scoops, and it was super fun tasting everything. We tried the white coffee, ube, halo halo, calamansi creamsicle, mais con queso (corn flavor), and Milo crunch -- all were solid. Also loved sampling flavors like Turon and Louisiana banana! Only reason I'm not giving it a full 5/5 is because I usually gravitate more toward fruity/sorbet-style flavors, but I'd definitely recommend this place if you're into rich, creative flavors! Service was great. Parked in the lot. read more

I loved Milo growing up and Perla's Milo ice cream has that wonderful taste. The service was friendly. Cute little space inside and outside on the patio to enjoy your ice cream. We had a taste of the banana ice cream and that was very good too. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the other flavors as well. read more

Beautifully crafted ice cream! My family has been eyeing this place ever since they had their soft opening, and we finally got to try it last night. There was a lot of love for the Milo crunch, calamansi creamsicle, buko pandas and the choconut(dairy free). All three of the staff greeted us when we walked in. The lady who served us was sweet, friendly, and offered samples. You can tell this ice cream was made with love for the Philippines! Inside is decorated with touches of the PI and a small seating area. Outside has plenty of patio chairs and tables to enjoy your treat. It's heartwarming to see my culture be represented in a successful small business a half a mile away from me. Please support them! read more

Perlas is a Filipino-owned ice cream shop with some amazing Filipino-inspired flavors on their menu. To get here, they have a small parking lot or street parking all around the area. Inside, they have a couple booths for seating and then some additional tables outside as well. Wifey ended up getting a scoop of the Mais Con Queso and I opted for the Calamansi Creamsicle. We really enjoyed the richness and flavor profiles of our orders. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely stop by to support and try out some of their awesome Filipino-inspired flavors! read more

Earlier this year, my friend & I checked-out Perlas Ice Cream for the first time. It was a warm Saturday afternoon, so everyone had the same idea to get ice cream! We found street parking in the nearby residential area and arrived at around 2:30pm. There was a line out-of-the-door with only two staff members working, so we waited about 10 to 20 minutes to order. Although there was a queue, the service and overall experience were great. The staff member was generous with samples and offered to keep our pints in the freezer while we enjoyed our ice cream in the shop. The shop's small, but homey with nostalgic decor and a sunlit indoor seating area. There were a few seats outside of the shop as well. My friend & I shared a flight of four flavors ($14). My faves were the Mais Con Queso (creamy & light with a good amount of corn pieces) and Calamansi Creamsicle (like a fizzy citrus drink and fun contrast to the other flavors). As mentioned, we did buy pints ($16/each) to take home; I chose a pint of the Buko Pandan, which had a pretty green color, light pandan flavor, and specks of coconut. We'd definitely return to Perlas, if we're in the area! read more

Holy yum! I happened to be in the area and remembered that I had this place tagged so I decided to make a trip out. Was I glad that I did it?! This is located off of a main street. Went there on a warm Sun afternoon and there was ample parking along the side. The place is light, bright and airy. The smell of freshly made cones wafted in the air. The folks behind the counter were nice and friendly. They had some very unique flavors, some of which were Filipino inspired. I tried their white coffee flavor and I stopped there. I told myself that I'll have to go back and try other flavors when I make my way back over. I LOVED her firm the ice cream was. Melty ice cream is not good. The flavor and texture was absolute perfection. Looking forward to be out in that area so I can try more of Perlas flavors! So good, I didnt have a chance to take a picture. read more

Bummer - the ice cream was just OK. Popping all over my algorithm, I was curious to try out the newest Filipino ice cream shop that had opened up. We bought two flights to try eight flavors, and I found only three decent: Black Sesame, Peach Mango Graham & Calamansi Creamsicle. The black sesame had a solid nutty flavor and wasn't overly sweet. The peach mango graham had good texture, and the flavor wasn't subtle. The calamansi creamsicle was tangy. We tried the usual Filipino flavors like Ube, Buko Pandan, & Mais con Queso. The flavors were flat. The Red Bean and Pineapple Cake was overly sweet. For two flights, it costs $37.13, including tax and tip. No notes on the service, it was good. The place is clean. Glad we tried them once! Best of luck Perlas! read more

Super solid ice cream place with interesting and tasty filipino flavors! My party tried strawberry chili, calamansi creamsicle, ube, white coffee, guava cheesecake, and black sesame, and they were all so good it was hard to choose. Even my Chinese mom who doesn't like most desserts loved all the ones she tried. Staff is very nice and was happy to let us sample multiple flavors. Indoor space is cozy and bright, and if the seating inside is filled, there is plenty of shaded space on the cute patio outside. Also a lot of free parking available. If you come on a Sunday, you can find the Montrose farmer's market just down the street. read more

Delicious ice cream, Unique flavors, Friendly and Patient staff! I visited this place with my siblings after one of them found a review of this place online. We were thrilled to support a Filipino business and it did not disappoint. There were many filipinos flavors featuring themes that reminded me of the things I had growing up. These included, Milo, ube, buko pandan, and calamansi. The staff was incredibly patient and friendly, allowing us many samples because we were so indecisive. They even had a small drawer full of Lactaid for us lactose intolerant peeps. I personally got ube and black sesame which were delicious. My siblings got milo crunch, white coffee, and buko pandan which were also amazing. There's a small indoor bench, but also a lot of outdoor seating with lots of shade. I'm definitely coming here again. read more

Went back to Perla's and had the flight- ube, black sesame, calamansi, and Milo crunch. Generous scoops and consistently delicious ice cream. I also brought two pints-- Louisiana banana and tsokolate! The banana had real banana and didn't taste artificial at all!! I always love the tsokolate because it's rich but not too sweet. The two employees who helped us with taste tests and scoops were so patient and sweet! They greeted us with smiles and took the time to explain the flavors. We sat in the little nook. Comfy seating! read more

Perla's is lovely! We wish them the best of luck! Flavors are fun and fresh and festive. My family loved trying them all and had nothing but good things to say about them. Being the only dairy free one in the group, I wasn't impressed by their ONE dairy free flavor, chocolate. They could at least come up with a mango or a coconut - something a little more creative. But I realize I am not their target audience, my family is who could eat dairy. They've gone back twice in the past week. :) read more

Perlas Ice Cream popped up on my tiktok feed a long while ago, and I finally got to try it last month when I was in the area. It's a small ice cream shop with a few seats and serving up unique Asian (mostly Filipino) flavors. I got to sample the milo crunch, buko pandan, and white coffee, and I really enjoyed the milo crunch & white coffee. I also bought a pint of the Brown Butter Pili (flavor is similar to butter pecan). Super good! Especially great for those with a sweet tooth. Highly would recommend coming out to visit when in the area. read more

I hope this ice cream shop blows up. All the flavors are so unique and you can tell how much love/intentionality goes into each flavor! I sampled the peach mango graham, buko pandan, and Louisiana banana. It was rly hard to choose a flavor because they were all so good! I opted for the peach mango graham which had a hint of mango within the cream base, little chunks of peach, and specks of graham crackers. (Tho I do wish the mango flavor was a little stronger). The inside is very cozy and inviting and there are plenty of tables outside as well. This is a family owned shop, and the owners are so kind! read more

I've only had calamansi creamsicle at another ice cream shop in SF once and it had lived in my mind rent free ever since- and the ice cream place never had it bc calamansi season is only specific times. So when I heard about Perla's I knew I had to check it out, a cute little ice cream shop and it did not disappoint. My boyfriend got the Milo crunch and WOW!!! So good- unexpectedly my favorite. The calamansi creamsicle was delicious also. It was refreshing and not too sweat or too milky. service was fast an staff was really friendly. I love the inside- it's so Filipino with all the decorations and pictures, felt like I was at my tita's house. I'll definitely be back here whenever I'm in the area read more

So glad I finally got to stop by and check out Perlas Ice Cream. It was absolutely delicious. They let you try as many flavors as you'd like. I went with a split scoop of the Mais Con Queso (corn and cheese) and Buko Pandan. My favorite of the two was hands down the Mais Con Queso. if you like corn flavored things like corn cookies or cereal milk, you're going to love this flavor. Really friendly staff, and some limited but very cute and comfortable seating inside. read more

perlas' soft opening hours have just given me another reason to look forward to the weekend. There ice cream quality and consistency go toe to toe with some of the heavy hitters out there. The flavors are distinct and fun, with South Asian flavor influences that feel both nostalgic and inspired -- from classics like buko pandan and mais con queso to modern takes such as calamansi creamsicle and white coffee. From a curated, homey corner of Montrose, perlas is scooping some of the best ice cream in the area and it's already a spot I can't wait to return to! read more

Soft opening and am glad they EXIST! Many of my friends sent me this rec this week and I'm glad that my people know me. Not going to gate keep this Filipina owned business. Tucked in the border of Montrose and Glendale, this cute ice cream shop is a MUST. Thanks to the hidden lactase drawer! Owner Candace was so sweet! The ICE CREAM was phenomenal. They allow you to taste so if you're new to Filipino flavors, you can be adventurous. The flavors were nostalgic and hit core memories from my childhood. So my family chose two flights so we can indulge in 9 flavors (we had one single scoop on the side). Flight 1: tsokolate - brought me back to ovaltine! Perfect chocolate memory. Ube - love the flavor that came out. Buko pandan - matched nicely with Ube! Peach mango graham -- Jollibee hand pie yesssss! Flight 2: Mais con queso - did you turn this dessert into ice cream? Why yes you did. Another memory opened. White coffee have you ever had that Goldilocks mocha cake?!? This this this is that in ice cream form. Louisiana Banana - a banana foster treat! Strawberry Matcha - straightforward flavors. Calamansi creamsicle Single - love the marriage of that Filipino flavor in an American memory. If you had to ask our fam fave l: tsokolate, mocha, peach graham, Mais con queso! Ice cream was creamy, not too sweet and no second guessing the flavor. read more

This is a hidden gem in Montrose area. I love their cutesy tiny place, tiny shop and the little tables and chairs outside. I can imagine this being a fun hangout spot with friends at night.

Came here on a Friday night after seeing intagram reels on my feed and was curious to see what the hype was about. The store had a very clean and minimalist aesthetic which I really appreciate. The staff seemed friendly and accomodating. Unfortunately the ice cream was just ok in my opinion. We ordered two flights to test out 8 flavors. I expected the ube flavor to jump out and I hate to say it was a little flat. The pandan was ok. The red bean didn't taste like red bean. It was just sweet. The two standouts, however, were the black sesame and the peach mango graham. Glad we got to try Perlas though. read more

I chose calamansi creamsicle for the flavor and single for the size. The taste reminds me of lemon but it's calamansi. It's sour but not overpowering. I like how pirouline or something similar is included to balance out the creaminess of the ice cream. It doesn't seem like there are tables inside, a bunch of chairs are though. A bunch of customers are grouped together in the corner where there's a window facing the front. Filipino music and pop music plays through the speaker(s). A small menu is on the counter. There are decorations on the walls, a menu is on the wall. It's well lit inside. One plant is placed on the counter. Several pink tables and chairs are outside the restaurant. My mom asked the employee for the percentage of cacao in the tsokolate ice cream but the employee didn't know. There's only one register. I like how the spoons are bpi compostable. The cups are made of paper I think, which is good for the environment. read more

Honestly, Glendale needed a spot like this so bad. Perla's is a relatively new Filipino ice cream shop and it is dangerous because literally every single flavor is incredible. Don't judge me, but I've tried a ton of them at this point and they do not miss. If you're indecisive or just want to try as much as possible, you absolutely have to get the ice cream flight. You get four different scoops and it's pure heaven. The shop itself is always super clean, the employees are always incredibly helpful, and they have tables outside so you can sit down and ABSOLUTELY STUFF your face. 10/5 recommend. read more
