dare i say it and risk the wrath of foodies and gelato lovers LA-wide? i love gelato, but i think this ice cream beats some of the best gelato i’ve had in LA. i really wasn’t expecting to be wowed even though i heard so much about it. i’ve had mango sorbet, but not ice cream, and it works so well as ice cream here, more creamy and not tart. sometimes you just want the fatty goodness! even my bf who does not like mango would like it. the dutch chocolate is rich and so good, but my favorite is the pineapple coconut, which you can still taste the hints of vanilla accenting the creamy coconut.

the reason this ice cream is delicious is that it is not too sweet, and you can still taste the essence of ice creaminess. some of the gelatos i’ve had are good, but often the sweetness can overpower some of the other flavors or other flavors overpower the creaminess. this ice cream is very creamy! you can tell they didn’t add a lot of water as filler as most ice cream places do. good, old-fashioned ice cream.

oh, and i seriously thought they made a mistake and gave me two scoops instead of one, but i wasn’t about to complain that i was getting two for the price of one. they sell half-gallons of ice cream that are far fresher for a little more than what you pay for fancy pints of ice cream at whole foods.

they also have an assortment of tasty salt-water taffy.

Best ice cream I ever had. Very creamy smooth milky favor. So rich that you want to lick your ice-cream until gone. Lychee, Taro and banana-walnut is must-try. I am thankful that it’s a restaurant run by family, which quality is kept at the top.
