À la minute is a small but very well-kept ice cream shop with some of the most interesting and exotic flavors I have come across. Everything is packed with flavor, especially the vanilla bean olive oil ice cream which is rich, smooth, and unexpectedly delicious in the best way. I usually go for the mini size, which is perfect for trying multiple flavors without overcommitting. The shop itself is compact but clean and thoughtfully maintained, and the rotating "weird" flavors are exactly what make it worth coming back. Highly recommend if you enjoy creative, adventurous ice cream. read more

So damn good! I've been a big fan of this place since they opened, back in my college days. I haven't been in probably seven or eight years, but I will damn sure be back a lot sooner than that. The ice cream is so tasty, so smooth, so rich... It's just good. And the waffle cone is a real waffle, so you can't beat that. Definitely worth a stop. read more

à la minute - vanilla chocolate chip so yummy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Redlands, California

TIL THIS DAYYYY this is my favorite ice cream parlor J have ever, & probably will ever, go to. If you can make time to stop at À la Minute even once in your lifetime, I PROMISE you won't be disappointed. They make the ice cream freshly using nitrogen right in front of you. They have the BEST ice cream flavors, namely: - mint chocolate chip- so creamy & flakey chocolate topping - salted caramel- a real kick of flaky sea salt on top of the creamy caramel base - vanilla- sounds simple, but it is THE perfect vanilla. They have vegan, dairy free options too. read more

Thank you Yelpers for leading me to this local ice cream shop in the heart of historic downtown Redlands. With it's large number of reviews and high ratings as compared to familiar franchise and chain locations, there was no way that I would pass up something good around the corner during a recent visit! The menu contains some specialty flavors such as avocado as well as some more typical but unique flavors such as espresso chip. I can never pass up a good coffee-flavored ice cream, and with a fellow Yelper's rave review, I jumped on the opportunity. And it did not disappoint! Besides the yummy presentation of my mini cup of ice cream that was sprinkled with chocolate powder, the ice cream was smooth, creamy and flavorful. It is especially good since it isn't masked with sweetness like.some places do and so the coffee flavor was perfectly balanced. A definite recommend for a sweet something treat! read more

Ever since I lived in the area over 10 years ago I've loved à la minute's nitrogen ice cream and am sad that their other locations Orange and Temecula have closed. This is the last remaining location and I stopped by during a road trip. Husband and I got the avocado honey and Brown Butter Chocolate Caramel. Both flavors were delicious. The avocado ice cream actually tastes like fresh avocado (and not frozen avocado) and is soooo smooth. The brown butter chocolate caramel has delightful hard caramel toffee bits and gives a nice texture. This is the smoothest dense ice cream ever! My previous favorite was the orange honey flavor, but the orange flavor and orange pulp bits aren't as prominent anymore so it's been demoted. read more

á la minute has the best ice cream in the IE I refuse to eat ice cream anywhere else lol i've been getting ice cream from here for the past 12 years, and they're still amazing. We drive from Riverside to come get their ice cream. The wait can be hit or miss, but even if there's a line out the door, it's still worth the wait. My top ice creams are: 1) chocolate lavender 2) vanilla bean w/ olive oil 3) espresso chip 4) strawberry balsamic There a lots of more options but those are my favs; i'm sure everything on the menu is yummy here!! read more

Hold Up! Wait a Minute! Let them put some Boom in it! If you're down with it then we're both in it to win it anyway you spin it. Their ice cream will make your tongue cream with flavors that are a dream. So let me tell you what made my eyes beam. I started off with the Olive Oil Vanilla Bean and this made my tastebuds scream with pleasure so let me tell you about the next pleasure. Orange Honey was next and this definitely passed the test and I can say it's above the rest. And Yes they do have other ice cream shops here but my tastebuds just lay out a sneer. The shop is kinda small but the flavors run tall. Service was on the level and that's all from this here devil. And that's my take on this shop, Peace. read more

I can see why this is a busy spot compared to other ice cream spots in the area. What's very convenient is that the parking lot is just across the street so you don't have to keep looping around for street parking. This place is really tiny so not much seating space. Luckily there's plenty of seating around the area, just circle around the block a bit. People here were very nice and let us taste a few flavors. Once I tasted the vanilla bean olive oil... that was game for me. It was super smooth, not too sweet, and they even drizzle olive oil on top. read more

This ice cream shop is super cute. I was next door at a Yelp Elite event at Batter Rebellion (also sooo good), and saw this place so I had to pop in. There's a pride flag and Black Lives Matter sign hanging up on their walls so I immediately knew they were a vibe! It's small and cozy inside. Not really a place to sit and chill but good to grab a quick ice cream. The person behind the counter was very nice and friendly. They advised that they were able to offer samples but limited to 2 per person. That was plenty enough to figure out what I wanted. I went for the brown butter chocolate flavor. The texture of the ice cream was super rich and creamy...not icey. I loved it! Their nitrogen process makes it so that the consistency is just perfect. The chocolate was decadent. So delish! I wanna go back and try more from this place! read more

Soo no one wasn't going to tell me about this little gem!! Walked in and the employees were honestly the best!!! Great customer service. They do have a variety of different selections which I totally love. But not to the point where you don't know, more on they are all so good. The strawberry, avocado, and salted Carmel are my top 3. They do have little barrels you could sit on but limited seating. Pricing is pretty decent. But if you're going to get a cone pls don't get the mini serving, you'll have more cone than ice cream.

Whenever I'm in Redlands, I just have to stop here. This place does not disappoint. It wasn't busy at all when I went. I ordered the chocolate lavender with cacao nibs. Didn't really taste the lavender but that's okay cos I love chocolate. The cacao nibs were kind of stuck together. Overall, this is a place to. Heck out if you're ever in Redlands. read more

We have stopped by A la Minute a couple times now while we have been in the area. We were not disappointed! Employees were friendly and answered our questions during our first visit. Their ice cream is perfect! The honey orange blossom was delicious!! I'm a fan of anything lemon and their lemon custard was perfect! The shop is in a cute little spot. It's nice. Only downside is when it's a busy time you're either squished in or you wait outside the door. read more

The best ice cream in all of Redlands! Service is always friendly no matter how busy they get. Recently, they put in double doors, and that has helped a ton in terms of it being claustrophobic. All the flavors are awesome, though, on a hot day I have been enjoying the lemon custard with the strawberry compote on top. If you're in the area, go check it out! read more

This is my favorite ice cream. I have been coming here for 12 years now!! The spot is small and can attract a long line on weekends but the staff is always super quick and helpful. Plus, I like to walk through the building and sit in the umbrella alley. The flavors seemed a little niche and pretentious back in 2014, but they are all delicious and have mostly stayed the same, never dropping off in quality. The best are brown butter, chocolate lavender, and strawberry, but I haven't had a flavor that I didn't love. read more

My kids took me here. As an older Asian woman, I am impressed this American ice cream shop can get such nice strong fresh avocado flavor into the ice cream. It was nice and not too sweet. Better than other ice creams I've had. read more

Super cute ice cream shop in downtown Redlands. They'll only drawback is that it is incredibly small inside so you will likely need to stand outside or find somewhere else to sit and enjoy your ice cream. They have some amazing flavors. They have salted caramel to espresso chip to lavender chocolate to orange blossom to strawberry. There are definitely options here for everyone. I got the espresso chip and it smelled so good. It literally smelled like espresso in a cup. The ice cream itself was so fresh, creamy and just delightful. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been here before. Has definitely become one of my favorite ice cream shops in town. Will be bringing more friends and family here when in the area. Will be back! read more

I'm so glad that after all these years, à la minute is still as good as ever. I had first discovered à la minute back when nitrogen ice cream had first started becoming a trend or fad but always stuck to à la minute because of the unique and creative flavors that always delivered. I recently had the chance to stop by while in the area, and coming back after all these years felt like revisiting an old friend. I'm happy to say the experience was just as memorable as I remembered and I was not disappointed! I love how consistent it's been despite all this time having passed. The flavors are rich without being overwhelming, and creative without losing the comfort factor. I'm still pretty bummed the other locations closed and glad to see that the Redlands location is here to stay and will always be a stop when in the vicinity. If you're in Redlands and want something that feels both artisanal and approachable, this is a must‑visit. Dare I say my favorite ice cream shop? Anyways already looking forward to my next time back! read more

A la minute used to be amazing because they'd literally make the ice cream fresh right in front of you. Most of the employees were friendly and welcoming but a few did have altitude. The place is small and we'll maintained. The ice cream is delicious but the only reason we were willing to pay so much for ice cream is because we got to see it being handmade. Unfortunately they don't do this anymore. So we stopped coming. read more

The ice cream here is so fresh and creamy. I love salted Caramel and to have it vegan, that was an amazing treat! The service was quick and everyone was so nice! There's not a lot of places to sit by the shop but we found some table across the street in a covered patio area to enjoy our ice cream! read more

Freakin' heaven in your mouth -- and I mean that now more than ever. I'm not sure why I only gave A La Minute 4 stars before?...but consider that mistake officially corrected. This place has been a longtime favorite, and it just keeps getting better. Their Olive Oil Vanilla Bean is pure silk -- smooth, lightly fragrant, and savory in the best way. And the Avocado? My absolute ride-or-die flavor. It's creamy, delicate, and somehow feels luxurious without being heavy. I literally had it on my birthday this year, and it was perfection -- like a gift to myself that didn't need wrapping. There's just something magical about watching your ice cream being made right in front of you -- the mist, the whir of the liquid nitrogen, the anticipation. It's still that same homemade, farm-churned freshness I fell in love with years ago. Redlands is lucky to have this little gem. Five stars, forever and always. read more

The brown butter flavor was super yummy! Loved the bits of toffee. It was expensive of course, as ice cream parlors usually are, but it was worth it as a fun social treat with a friend. It's a nice shop but a little dark on the inside. I would love if there was seating, so you don't have to eat it in the car. The area didn't feel super safe so I don't recommend standing around outside eating especially at night. I also find it a little strange that you can't get different flavors if you get multiple scoops. The employee explained it as them making it to order so you can only get one flavor per cup, but that didn't really make sense to me. You can sample the flavors so if they're made to order I don't understand how you can try samples..? Either way, it feels standard to let you mix and match flavors, and without that option I don't have reason to ever get anything but the smallest cup, personally. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for the longest time since college and now finally got to try it! We walked in and it honestly immediately smelled funky lol. I remain to be hopeful and that the ice cream is still good, so I went ahead to order. I ordered a mini chocolate lavender, and it was actually pretty good! The consistency is nice and thick, tastes rich, and the lavender was quite fragrant. I liked how they added honey on the spoon too, so it makes each bite even a bit more sweeter. Although I didn't really like the cocoa nibs(?) they added on top. It was too bitter and hard to eat it with the ice cream. Overall, it was good! Nice to try and the service was quick and efficient as well. read more

Quaint little hole in the wall nitrogen infused ice cream. No indoor seating or restroom. Despite the menu showing various scoop sizes, you get one flavor per size since each one is hand mixed. There are 3 vegan flavors, but hubby opted for fresh mint chip for more flair. Flavor was great and the chocolate specs were some of the best I've ever tasted at an ice cream shop! I wish they weren't out of cones and had the option of more flavors in bigger sizes. Not a lot of room inside so best to order then step out while you wait. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area, they're across from City Hall. read more

Going to keep my review short and sweet. Best ice cream i've ever had in my life. i've tried about 5 different flavors now, and they're all great. Im on a fun goal to try them all read more

ten years later and still the same amazing quality, still the same cow on the wall.. despite me being ten years later and cannot tolerate dairy. i shared an orange sorbeto with my daughter. it was refreshing and light. just the right amount of sweetness. if you've ever been to Sóller on the island of Mallorca, this was reminiscent of my recent visit there. in the same way that Redlands is known for their history of orange groves, so is the same with Sóller! all the gelato stores have orange sorbetto, and i hadn't had another one since then. the best thing about this scoop of orange sorbet is its simplicity. no added artificial colors or flavors.. why mess with nature's best? à la minute gets it! i hope to be back in another 10 years to enjoy this again!! read more

CREAMY HANDCRAFTED NITRO ICE CREAM! Hot damn this was amazing, I was looking for a sweet treat after an event at the Redlands Bowl and saw that this place was literally down the street on Citrus by the Redlands Underground! I saw the major line outside after 10pm and was reluctant but I had intent. Yes, I traversed the pot-infested, seedy underground just to get a specialty ice cream and I'm so happy I did after walking through the nightmare and long line. I got a large (3 scoops) Brown Butter Chocolate Caramel ice cream cup, it was delicious! I'm a huge toffee fan, this ice cream scratched that itch and more! The nitro specialty ice cream has the right texture and it didn't melt easily, it was perfect! The staff was super nice, the girl at the register answered my questions and was friendly despite the busy environment! Á la minute's staff knows how to work under pressure and they were very professional! Some of the patrons were ogres and the staff still treated them kindly. I do not recommend coming here after 8pm as there's a lot of smoking and vaping going on outside and nearby. The patrons were very shady, I wouldn't bring kids late at night. I found á la minute to be very warm and inviting, it has a cool atmosphere but not so trendy that it makes you cringe. Prices are a bit higher but come on, we're talking quality ice cream here. The ice cream joint is also very inclusive, LOVE THEM! Oh and I posted ice cream prices in my pics below if you're interested! Tip: Come EARLIER in the day to avoid the gangbanger patrons and shady folks. read more

Our favorite ice cream spot of a la time. It's tiny and crowded, but it's 100% worth it to take your time and get the best ice cream you've probably ever had. We've tried every flavor, and haven't been disappointed. They have a great rewards program and also are very easy to work with when we needed a large quantity order of pints for a corporate event. My personal favorites: 1. Sea Salt Caramel -- it's simply perfect 2. Lemon Custard (with a strawberry compote) -- after a meal when you need something lighter 3. Vanilla -- when you just need something familiar If you aren't familiar with the area, here are a few other places to hit up that are all a short walk away: 1. Finney's Crafthouse for an amazing pizza, burger or brew 2. The State for amazing poutine, tacos, burgers, cocktails & more 3. Board Game Paradise for a great selection of board & card games 4. The Frugal Frigate is beautiful little children's bookstore 5. A Shop Called Quest has some great comics and far too many funko pops Pro-tip: look for all three Waldo's in the store! read more

Waiting for the District to open we decided to get ice cream next door. Nice people working there, but the wait was incredibly long. I get it... each scoop has to be singularly prepared, but really long wait and a packed little place. Definitely started to get hot with a bunch of people waiting. We also thought the flavors were ok but not the best we've had. For reference we got the strawberry balsamic and espresso chip. We also got the waffle cone which was more pancake in texture. Kind of soft and a little less sweet than we like in a cone. read more
