One day during our Disney trip, things didn't go as planned. My daughter, who is on the spectrum, was having a really rough day, so we decided to leave Disney early and try to turn the day around with ice cream. We were craving Italian ice, so I pulled out my handy dandy phone and searched for an Italian ice shop that would be on our way home and this little gem popped up. After reading some of the reviews, we decided to give it a try. I am so glad we did. This has to be one of the best spots for delicious treats. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made such a difference, and the facility itself looked clean and well taken care of. I ordered the rocky road ice cream (my absolute favorite), and it was perfectly creamy and delicious. My daughter tried the strawberry Italian ice and loved it; that truly says everything. She's extremely picky with food, so the fact that she enjoyed it so much speaks volumes. This place helped turn a tough day into a sweet one, and we will definitely be going back soon. read more

I stopped by really quickly as I was waiting for my nail appointment near by. It's not too busy, when I went I was able to hop in the drive thru with no hassle. It's cool that they have a drive thru. It was my first time over so I didn't really do much customization- I tried the pineapple shaved ice with the custard. Both were really great, and the small as a great size. The woman who greeted me was kind and attentive. It was a calm business with delicious treats I like that it's laid back. read more

This is the 2nd time we've gone this week. 1st time a couple of days ago, and I went again today cause me and the hubby have been craving it since. we love the flavors and texture of the italian ice. I'm so into the banana gelati and my husband is going wild on the cherry italian ice. The place is small but clean. no outside sitting but there were tables available if you want to eat there. The girl that served us was nice and polite. for sure would recommend this place! read more

I loved the experience of ordering and also how the shaved ice tasted.... I really loved the cherry flavor mixed with vanilla ice cream... Definitely will continue to come when I get a chance . read more

Wild Scoops - Cherry flavor slush with vanilla ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Norwalk, California

I'm ngl, I used to drive by this place all the time and pay no mind to it. Now, if I want something to cool me down on a hot day or a sweet treat. This might be the spot, when it's nearby and available. The prices are actually pretty good, I ordered the Ice cream sandwiches. I ordered three for $5.99 because I thought they would be small, but they were pretty big so I ended up sharing. I definitely would come back and get the ice cream sandwiches again especially for that price. read more

This is a little outdoor spot, no inside seating at all, and no seats at all outside. They do have a couple of table to stand at while consuming the most delectable frozen desserts. They have Italian ice, frozen custard, and soft serve ice cream, and hand scooped ice cream. It's located on Pioneer Boulevard right next to the Arco, near Lander Boulevard, where there's no really nice ice cream spot around us. So it definitely fills a niche in this neighborhood. They weren't too popular when they first opened, I think it's because it's a little out of the way and nobody knows where it is, but then they had a video on TikTok and boom !!!!! Now you have to wait in line forever. But they're super delicious and once you wait in line you for sure you're gonna come back! Italian ice and frozen custard In Norwalk !!! Who knew!? read more

Amazing Italian ice with custard. This place is very good. I would have to say this place is highly similar to "FrostBites" down the street in the city of Cerritos as the flavors are on point. Custard is delicious. My only thing is they put crazy amounts of food coloring. You don't have to add that much food coloring, your ice cream is very good without it. Another thing is they don't open on Sundays. I get it, we all need a day off, but usually Sunday is a day that people venture out for ice cream and such. Anyhow, I will say it again, please turn down the food coloring. Your ice cream is great without it. Hands-down, Cherry is my favorite! *Thank you for responding Lee. Cherry and blue raspberry. read more

Wild Scoops - I got raspberry and cherry gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Norwalk, California

I've been meaning to try this place ever since I learned they opened but for some reason, I've always wanted to go by on a Sunday- day that they're closed- which I think is great. But anyway- I finally made it here *twice* and I am so happy that I did. The customer service is very nice, the treats are reasonably priced and there are variety of options. Don't let the area scare you away- the location is not super eye catching or appealing, and there isn't any seating outside but there is a drive thru! So for all you lazy mo-fo's, go get your gelati at the drive thru. I hope this business will thrive because the city of Norwalk doesn't have anything else like it. It's delicious! read more

This place! Help, I am officially addicted. I think anything you order here will be delicious and their prices are so freaking good! Best value. Their ice cream cookies are only $3.25 like how is this true? Their custard with slushy is like so so yummy and I eat like 1/4 at a time so it lasts me like 4 days. I keep it in a freezer bag and it stays good and fresh. The ambiance is totally hidden. No light up sign or anything but it's next to the gas station. I mean you can even walk over to Wild Scoops from the gas station. It's like really dark and looks like you are driving down a dark alleyway ha ha. It kinda looks spooky! Honestly, don't be scared of the ambience be scared of the calories. read more

This is frozen dessert heaven! The other reviews have given you the basics, so I'll tell you my story. I was lamenting to a friend in Milwaukee that we have no frozen custard shops in LA. Most people I know here don't even know what frozen custard is! After a week of dreaming about the velvety goodness, I decided to check for anything that might satisfy my craving (thank you Yelp). I found Wild Scoops and ran to my car. 15 minutes later I'm in line at the drive thru. As I looked at the menu on the wall, my heart sank. The words on the menu said "soft-serve". I was devastated. No self-respecting custard shop would shame their otherworldly custard by calling it soft-serve. Frozen custard is entirely other-level. But OK, I thought, let's see what SoCal THINKS frozen custard is. The Gelati caught my eye, described as Italian ice and (I'm expecting fake) frozen custard. It sounded interesting, even if it might not be true custard. My mind was open but my expectations were low. I ordered the Gelati with vanilla soft serve and cherry and lemon Italian ices. Let's see what we get... I was handed a clear cup, where I could see a layered concoction of my requested vanilla, cherry, and lemon. A substantial swirl of vanilla was on top, well exceeding the top of the cup but with no sign of melting anytime soon. One anticipatory taste... my eyes lit up! This is the stuff I've been craving! The real deal. Who knew? Then, I panicked! Maybe I should have ordered the custard alone! Will the Italian ice take away from the experience? Absolutely not! It turned it sublime! A combined bite delivered a perfectly crystallized portion of Italian ice slowly melting into the custard as I held it briefly on my tongue. I'd never had anything like it. I've never had a custard dessert so delicious! And that's saying a lot, a lot, a lot. Thank you Wild Scoops! The service was friendly and welcoming. The smile from the girl at the window melted my heart. One tiny suggestion to the proprietor: offer lime ice to allow for a cherry limeade gelati! But to be sure, that's not going to keep me from coming back again and again. read more

Stumbled upon Wild Scoops on my way home from LA when I wanted custard (not ice cream) and was so happy to find Wild Scoops! Cute outdoor stand basically with a few tables, no seating though - which is why I'm knocking off a star. Love that they mix the custard w the Italian ice... the BEST way to get it1 Priding is fair and the staff was friendly. Tons of parking too. read more

This place truly is a hidden gem. I almost didn't notice it because it's shaped like a house. Their drive thru is so convenient. Especially during the summer time when we barely want to get out of cars and into this heat. They have so many flavors to choose from. Be aware that some flavors online are seasonal and may no longer be available. I got the butterbeer and custard. The butterbeer was very sweet but reminded me of the ones from universal. The custard was the best part. It tastes like soft serve. The service was great. The young lady who helped me was kind enough to make suggestions and was very quick. The ambiance is interesting. They have a walk up window and drive thru. Both are kept clean and tidy! If you haven't been here yet drive on by and give them a try. read more

I got the Cherry Italian ice with swirl custard (gelati). There's not a lot of Italian ice spots near me but being from the east coast it's one of my absolute favorites. This place was great it reminded me of Philly. The staff was all friendly and quick. I loved that it had a window out front to order and a drive through option! No inside seating however still plenty of spots to sit outside or eat in your car (like most custard or Italian ice spots). This was very easy to get to from the highway. read more

I liked it better than other places that I have tried. Wild Scoops just got a regular customer! read more

Loved the frozen custard and Italian ice at this spot! I tried the vanilla custard with blue raspberry, cherry, and lemon--reminded me of a bomb pop and it was fantastic. Great to have such a solid dessert option in Norwalk. The service was excellent. The staff member, though I didn't catch her name, was very friendly and offered us several samples to mix and match flavors, which we really appreciated. The prices are reasonable, and it's a perfect local spot for a sweet treat. Definitely worth supporting! read more

We're so glad we found this place nearby our house! We're huge fans of Joes Italian Ice in Anaheim, and this place is right on par, while being much more accessible for us. It's a small shop located next to an Arco gas station with a decent amount of parking, a few outdoor walk-up windows, and a drive thru! Huge props for the drive thru. One of my biggest gripes with Joe's is having to fight for parking and then stand outside in long line. The 2 workers that helped us were extremely friendly, and I could tell they care a lot about customer service. A+ here forsure. We ordered a small and medium gelati. The small came with 2 layers of custard and the medium came with 3. The custard is thick, fluffy, and semi-sweet. Almost reminds me of Cool Whip. Very good, and they're generous with how much they give you. It's not quite as sweet or creamy as Joe's custard, but it's very close. We got Blue Raspberry, Strawberry, and Ramune flavored ice with our gelatis. All great tasting, but Blue Raspberry was our clear favorite. Really cool to see a unique flavor like Ramune on the board. Joe's ice has a smoother consistency, while Wild Scoops is a bit on the icier side. Again, though, very close. Overall, this will be our new go-to Italian ice spot! In a direct comparison to Joe's, I'd have to give Joe's the win. However, Wild Scoops comes very close in terms of flavors and textures, with awesome service, and while being much closer to home (for us, at least). We're also happy to support a local small business. Bonus points for the drive thru for quick, late night ice runs! We'll definitely be back, and I can easily recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

Finally had the chance to stop by Wild Scoops, and definitely not disappointed. This was a lifesaver on those 100+ degree days we went through. When you do come, you may need to bring a bit of patience, as the lines can get really long. For the size, they have a pretty big parking lot, but the drive through line snakes right through it. Some days, you'll be able to pull right up to the window, while at other times, you'd think you're in the line for that one burger chain with the palm trees. You have the option to park and walk up to the order counter if that floats your boat, but I don't recall if there are any seating options out in front. Everything is hand scooped, which is the main reason you experience such a long wait. The prices are very reasonable for what you do get, and as soon as that little bit touches your tongue, you're in heaven...especially on a hot summer day. The Italian ices are very rich and flavorful, reminding me of the Italian ice that you could find at the local corner stores or Italian ice shops in Philly. Arguably just as good. The lack of a fifth star is due to the way the drive thru is set up. Unless you get down and go to the walk up counter, the only way to find out what flavors they have available - and they do change flavors daily due to supply and demand - is to pull up to the ordering window, which doubles as the pickup window. Snaking through the middle of the parking lot is one thing - something more relegated to the property owner, but perhaps it would be a good idea to maybe either have an electronic menu or a changeable menu - think a wooden marquee sign - and an ordering speaker at the beginning of the drive through. This way, the order is hopefully ready by the time you roll up to the window. Just food for thought. Am I going to come back? Hell yeah. read more

Wild Scoops is easy to find once you spot the Arco's. It's a big cube building with a small parking lot. The owner, Lee, let me try the Italian ice as a sample, but initially I felt the strawberry Italian ice was too sweet so I went for a shake. It was pretty thick, and I didn't realize since they also gave me a spoon, but the red straw has a tiny little scoop at the end too. Very cute, but that spoon end was not practical. To be honest I thought the cup seemed small - but my eyes tend to be bigger than my stomach. The ice cream was really filling so it's worth it! I came back a few days later with my mom to try more and we got the ice cream sandwich and mango Italian ice. The sandwich was okay (probably wouldn't get it again unless I was craving the chocolate cookie) but the mango italian ice was so good!! Lee actually recommended the manga Italian ice as one of the most popular items on my first visit, but I didn't listen because it's not usually one of my top fruity flavors. I'm so glad my mom ended up getting it. It's not too sweet and has a more authentic taste to it. Plus, we saved part of it in the freezer and it held up with the same quality the next day with no problem. I thought there was only custard on the top like a whipped cream topping, but to my pleasant surprise there was another layer of custard on the bottom too. The styrofoam cups feel a bit delicate to hold sometimes, but I think it helps keep your hands from getting cold when holding it. read more

I'm so glad this place opened up next to us it is now my go to spot when I want a cold treat. Parking can be an issue when the drive thru line is super long. You may not be able to get out. The best bet is to park on the streets next to the place or in the lot next door. I'm not sure if you could get in trouble for that but I haven't had a problem yet. Now for the Italian ice they have tons of flavors and they also have a good selection of ice cream flavors. Some do run out and some are limited. I'm pretty basic when it comes to my choices but the flavor is way more than basic. I always get the Gelati which is a layered desert made with Italian ice and frozen custard. I usually either go with cherry and or mango flavor for the Italian ice. Then the frozen custard is mixed in with the Italian ice and they put a nice little scoop on the top. The custard is really good and I could honestly just eat that by it self but when mixed with the Italian ice it just gives it that extra kick and extra flavor. It's so good during the summer we would honestly come here at least twice a week. We were obsessed lol They also have a punch card where if you buy 10 you get one free so make sure to ask for a card. The workers are all really nice even when it's super busy they seem to have great attitude which is always a plus. As long as the flavors never change this will always be my first choice for a sweet treat. read more

Really good ice cream! We got the gelati with cherry ice cream, mango, and pistachio--everything was super delicious. I was impressed with the taste and quality. Even the small cup came with a good amount, which was a nice surprise. Perfect treat on a hot summer day. Great service too!! read more

The service was sweet and fast, I absolutely love that this place has a drive thru because we all know how much a difference in time that can make. The custard was so creamy and there were so many flavors of Italian ice to choose from! If you were to ask me I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and joes plus there wasn't a huge line at all!! It's a walk up place so the ambience reminds me of a sort of old school ice cream place, 10/10 coming again!! read more

I tried this place last weekend, and it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Gelati, and it was super delicious! The italian ice was refreshing, without being too icy. The soft serve was also really nice and creamy. The line however was pretty long.

But definitely worth it if you want something refreshing in the summer heat! read more

Idk it's alright but I just went and I'm thinking if imma pay more than five bucks on shaved ice and ice cream. I would want them to be balanced.

My friend recommended this place to me. I was skeptical at first, especially since I was used to the best Italian Ice in OC, Joe's. I went with my friend blindly, not looking up the reviews beforehand. To my surprise, this place is definitely one of the best Italian Ice places I've had in the greater southeastern LA area. I've gone a couple of times, and the service is always great and fast. Like Joe's, there's no dine-in or sit-down options, but I do enjoy that Wild Scoops Italian Ice has a drive thru option in addition to ordering at the window! Obviously, the vibe and old-school decorations, and dog-friendly atmosphere of Joe's is nice, but sometimes you just want to enjoy a delicious Italian Ice! My personal favourite is the Cherry & Oreo Gelati! read more
