    House-made waffle cones!
    Isobel L.

    Delicious fresh ice cream featuring flavors from Filipino cuisine. They do provide samples, too! Nice relaxing atmosphere with seating both inside and outside. Service was very friendly; all my questions were answered since this was my first visit. Highly recommended for a sweet treat!

    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!

    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! Ambiance: 8/10 Cute, simple, cozy vibes. Adorable! Service: 10/10 Shout out to Clark! It was our first time there and he was so nice and kind! 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.

    This was my first time at Perla's. As a Filipina myself, I was excited about this place! It was cutely decorated. I loved all of the flavor options. It was so hard to choose! I ended up going with the calamansi and four seasons flavors. The staff was really nice. I'll have to go back again! The only thing is that parking could be a little difficult depending on what time you go since there are many businesses in that area.

    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.

    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!

    mango matcha and milo crunch
    Evan T.

    Very nice ambiance its a nice little cozy shop. The mango matcha was so creamy, personal facorite flavor. The milo crunch was also great and i liked the textural bits in it. Def wanna come back to try the pandan flavor and others. They also had free stickers that were cute.

    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!!!" :-)

    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.

    We tried the buko pandan, the mango peach graham, and the choconut. All were amazing! Also, the interior of the shop is so cozy and inviting. Can't wait to come back and try all of the other flavors!

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

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!

Fluffy, snow-soft ice piled with real mango cubes and a milk drizzle on top - and even in the single-serving cup size, it was seriously worth it. We also tried the green tea bingsu, topped with matcha powder and mochi, which was solid but the mango stole the spotlight for me. Pro tip: the single size is pretty generous on its own, so unless you're trying to sample a few flavors, one cup does the job. We split two just to try different options and it worked out great for that! Parking along the street was hit or miss, but we went pretty late at night so it wasn't too bad.

The product is consistent and perfect every time. Portions are pretty big. Even the single serve can be shared between 2 people. Please look up the menu before arriving. Usually to order you walk in all the way to the kiosk and order from there. If the line is long there's also a QR code on the right side as you enter so you can order from your phone as well. The only thing that's been a consistent issue is there's nowhere to sit. Seating is available inside and there's even a few tables outside but this place is so popular that all the seats are always taken. Be prepared to take your desserts to go. You can walk up to the pick up area and ask for lids.

Her mother texted asking if we could bring pastries. It was after 6 p.m., so I turned to trusty Yelp to see what might still be open between Montrose and our destination. This bakery came up, so we stopped in to give it a try. One gentleman was minding both the bakery and the liquor store next door. It wasn't that busy at either place, but he did have to run between the two. He let us know that he'd be right with us, so we had time to look around. The baked goods cases were about half full at 7:00 at night. The man helping us didn't really know anything about the fillings of some of the items that weren't self-explanatory. He got our selections packed up nicely, but it would have been helpful to be able to get more info about some of the cakes/pastries. SG (age 5) boldly chose a cream puff for herself. I wasn't sure if she would like it, but once we got to her house she happily scarfed down half of it, saving the other half for the next day. Dear Hubby and I picked several layers cake pieces, and I added two chocolate-filled cookies. He went for a cannoli, of which they had several options of fillings. I think our daughter and son-in-law made out the best, as we weren't sure what they would like so we got them some Black & White cake, honey cake, espresso cake, and some of the chocolate-filled cookies. It was a dessert-tasting feast to wind up the weekend when we arrived at their place.
