    Big kahuna shaved ice to-go
    Brooke B.

    I love shaved ice & ice cream together, so I'm happy to have this place in the South Bay! The staff were friendly and quick. Sadly my critiques are that the base ice cream scoop seemed super small and I was also surprised that the "big kahuna" was a lot smaller than pictured (still large but not like the picture). I didn't care for the peach flavor, it tasted like weird canned peaches. I'd do all watermelon next time.

    Dessert in Redondo Beach, California... After viewing the sunset at Point Vicente Lighthouse, we looked for a nearby dessert, and "Wanna Chill" popped up on our Yelp apps. We found an easy free parking space right in front of the shop. There was a line out the door, but we eventually got to the front. I wanted the (cute) Kid's Bear dessert, but the cashier said they didn't have it - even though I showed her my photo of the picture menu. Shucks! I quickly had to decide on the Non-dairy Chocolate Chip ice cream. It's made with Oat Milk. It was OK. It wasn't as creamy as real ice cream, but at least I didn't have pain after eating it! Yay!

    Small ice cream shop with a large variety menu. Service was quick and it didn't take long to get our orders. Their prices are a lot cheaper than other ice cream places I've been to, but the quality is still great. I got one scoop of the pistachio ice cream in a cone and it was more than enough. My other friends were feeling adventurous and got two scoops of different flavors - they all enjoyed their choices! My only complaint is I wish there was actual seating. There's an open area outside the shop that they could put chairs but otherwise I would come back to try another item on their menu!

    A couple time a month I come here! Always friendly prompt service no matter how busy! Great ice cream flavors to be made into sundaes, malts, floats etc... They also have shaved ice! Always fun and Chill vibe for the whole family or a date!

    Frozen yogurt - dole pineapple
    Danni Y.

    So many different options! I got the dole whipped pineapple frozen yogurt which was sweet but balanced with the tartness of pineapple, very thick consistency My friend liked the big stick shaved ice Would want to come back to try the ice cream stuffed in italian bread It can be super crowded but service goes quick, the inside is a bit small.

    Located off Pacific Coast HWY in Redondo Beach. Parking is shared with the other businesses in this little strip area. This place has it all from ice cream to shave ice to other cold delicious desserts. The place is kinda small so I can see this place packed with the line out the door due to all the options here and especially on a hot/warm day or evening one can imagine the crowds especially the beach crowds since it is close by the beach. I got the chocolate malted crunch ice cream it was good almost like Thrifty lol. There is no restroom here or any indoor seating, basically it's standing outside and eating kind of place. Overall they have a good selection to refresh you on a hot/warm day.

    There's a variety of different types of ice creams and desserts to choose from. We got the beach buns and unfortunately, it wasn't all that good. The buns didn't taste as fresh. Would probably try something different next time.

I especially love the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream, which is always delicious. One of the reasons I prefer this Redondo Beach location is their generous portions. They also allow you to choose two different flavors on a sugar cone, which some other locations (like Glendale) do not allow, they require the same flavor. That flexibility definitely makes a difference. Parking is plentiful, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is nice since you're enjoying your ice cream outdoors. Overall, it's a great spot, and I highly recommend it if you're in the area.

I only completed the purchase because I had promised my kids ice cream, but the overall experience was disrespectful, unprofessional, and felt discriminatory. I would not recommend this place, especially for families.

Here are few key points: * Each year, the shop closes for the entire month of January for its annual winter break and the shop also occasionally closes on random dates, so check their Instagram page to make sure the shop is open on the day of your visit. * No samples! * $0.75 of every ice cream sold is donated to Community Loving (mutual aid organization that serves unhoused & low-income families & youth in the South Bay with the essential resources they need & deserve). * Each year, Kansha Creamery hosts a kids' flavor contest and turns those flavors into reality & ultimately features on Kansha's menu. * Their ice cream is made with Straus Family Creamery products. * Their pints are made without the use of gums or preservatives which causes them to freeze harder than store-bought ice cream, so place those pints in the fridge for 10-30 minutes before indulging. * Some flavors like black sesame are seasonal, but popular flavors like Mr. Universal and Matcha (both excellent) are available year-round.

My youngest son ordered Red Crackers and he loved everything about it, especially the strawberry popping boba!

The moment it touched my tongue for a test taste, time stopped. Rich cocoa notes exploded across my palate, balanced perfectly with tangy yogurt cultures. Not too sweet. Not too tart. The temperature exactly cold enough to refresh without causing brain freeze. My taste buds sang in harmony! But the true battlefield lay ahead, the toppings bar. Fresh strawberries, gleaming like rubies. Mochi pieces that promised chewy resistance. Chocolate chips, cookie crumbles, crushed Oreos, gummy bears in every color. Nuts, almonds, pecans, walnuts waiting to add textural complexity. And the sauces! Hot fudge, caramel, strawberry syrup, positioned like weapons in an arsenal. With surgical precision, I assembled my masterpiece. Fresh fruit for brightness. Mochi for chew. A strategic drizzle of caramel forming golden rivers through vanilla peaks.

I was right, but that still may be a bit unusual in SoCal, where we all scream for ice cream all year 'round. Large parking lot was mostly empty when we arrived and only filled in slightly for other businesses by the time we left, around 3:15pm. It took a minute for us to get noticed by the one person working, who we called out to a few times. She took our orders and got to work filling them. While we waited, I did a bit of inter webs research on why Bruster's resembled the same set up as Handel's. Turned out Bruce (the man behind Bruster's) worked for Handel's and had some of his own ideas about changes to the Handel's way of operating that, let's just say, Handel's wasn't open to trying. So Bruce went his own way, building on the same concept of ice cream made fresh daily in-house, unique flavors and a walk-up window. Interesting. Also interesting was the small portion in my waffle bowl. It was meant to be Medium, 2 flavors, but it looked more like a small, 2 flavors. In addition, the 2 scoops were offset with one flavor hanging over the edge, rather than in the bowl. Wonky. Lots of room in the bowl, why was it hard to aim the scoops into it? No one was being rushed, no line forming. This is a treat. Something special. Take a beat for the presentation. Especially if you're not giving full scoops. Make that bowl look like you filled it as best you can with the small amount you're dishing out. I haven't had this experience at other Brewster's, so maybe it's just how this location is run, or maybe just the person on this day. Don't think I'll return to find out. Cheers! "CC"
