Bob's Freeze

I don't crave ice cream often but when I do, I expect nothing but the best. My girlfriend recommended we go to this spot because it's been a staple in the area over the years. I ordered their banana split and it was THEBOMB.COM. I 100% recommend this spot but keep in mind that this place is CASH ONLY.

Sweet girl working the booth and providing excellent service. The soft serve here is absolutely delicious and always hits the spot, and the prices are very reasonable. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, but the tasty treats make it worth it!

This place is great for a treat or just a snack of ice cream. There was only one person working but the line moved quickly as the orders were large but was done without any problems. Looks like a local spot to get a sundae and satisfy the crave. A go to place!

Can't believe I never heard about this spot until recently. I was missing out! I got the chocolate dipped soft serve cone and it was so refreshing and satisfying. This will for sure be my summer spot. Just know they are cash only. I was lucky I had some on me.

Good ice cream but since forever it's been cash only .... You would think they would adapt & get a card reader. They would get a lot more business if it wasn't cash only

I'm new to east LA and wanted to find a place like Foster's Freeze. This place doesn't have burgers which is fine cus FF didn't have good burgers anyway.. lol. However there is a place right next door that sells Mexican food! I got a banana sundae and a small sundae for my partner. Bomb! Bonus that's it's down the street from where I live. 🙂

We've been coming here since my kids were little kids and every time we go to Los Angeles, it's a stop here for some good ice cream

The soft serve was tasty, but the cone was stale 😕. The service, however, was excellent!

Best little soft serve ice cream shop I've had in a while. I am obsessed with chocolate dipped vanilla soft serve and this place, is dangerously good! Something so simple but so satisfying! A must go!! Con: cash only, but I guess that a pro too so I don't go too often and gain a bunch of weight

Finally had the opportunity to try Bob's, and it was so great! They have a pretty big menu and it was tough to decide what to get, but we ended up choose the classic banana split. We chose the smaller option, but it was more than enough for two people to share! The flavors and boat made it nostalgic to the banana splits we would get as kids from the ice cream truck. The soft serve is delicious and they are generous with the toppings! They have a small parking lot behind the establishment, and there is also some street parking in front/nearby. I highly recommend giving Bob's a try if you're ever in the area!

Came here recently and got the banana split and strawberry sundae. The syrups were watered down. It did ruin the flavor. This is not how I remember them to be.

A community staple! Been coming here since I can recall. Banana marshmallow shakes never fail to impress. There's parking in the back, also some street parking. the service is fast, they prices are decent.

4.4/5 Food- you can't go wrong with this ice cream stop. We tried the banana split, chocolate dipped cone, and the icecream slush. The most outstanding one was the chocolate dipped cone! Delicious warm chocolate shell and vanilla soft serve inside. Service- our cashier was swift and attentive. Portions are huge btw if you're getting a banana split it might be double than you think. Ambiance- most people park on the curb and get this to go. You may also stand at the storefront and enjoy your treat

Great soft serve institution serving the flavors of my childhood. My son loves the place too!

I was craving ice cream so it didn't take much to convince the kids to hop in the car to this local ice cream spot I found on Yelp. This place did not disappoint either the chocolate dipped cones hit my cravings. It is a cash only spot so come prepared. Luckily I was able to hit the corner gas stations ATM. You won't get a huge selection here but if you're craving quality soft serve you are in the right spot.

Always a treat and you can't go wrong with anything! They serve big scoops, everything's delicious and I would definitely recommend getting someone chocolate dipped or topped with chocolate. I love that they're open late and am happy they're still around after so many years!

Cash only. Plenty of parking in rear. So glad I stumbled upon this spot on yelp, will be coming back often. Strawberry Slush Float - not too sweet, soft serve was creamy and paired well the slush. So good! Large Banana Split - bananas, custard, chocolate syrup, strawberry puree, whipped cream and peanuts for crunch. Cone - so simple but good. Creamy and rich but light.

4++ small little mom and pop type spot that serves up some soft serve as well as other dessert treats. The folks here are very kind. Also note that it's cash only. I was in the area and I wanted some dessert. This place popped up on my radar and I thought it would be perfect. I am a huge fan of dipped cones. Ordered the small and it was a perfect size. Definitely hit that spot.

What We Ordered: -Cherry Slush Float -Chocolate Dipped Vanilla Soft Serve Cone The wife and I were in the mood for some ice cream. We found Bob's Freeze as we were down the street at Chroni's and wanted some dessert. My wife ordered the small chocolate dipped vanilla soft serve cone and it was good. She really liked it! I asked for some popular orders and was told the slush float which was slush with ice cream. I was additionally told that cherry was a popular flavor for the slush float. I'm a big slush fan. However, I wasn't a fan of the ice cream and slush combination. I'm sure some people dig it, but it wasn't something I enjoyed. I will come back, but stick to strictly ice cream.

When's it hot outside and summer is approaching, this is the place you wanna go to. Always love getting their ice cream sundaes here. We ordered the banana sundae and hot fudge sundae. Both were so yummy and perfect for the hot weather. Definitely need to come back to try their shakes and other menu items. Quick and friendly service. Located on the corner of Atlantic Blvd and Beverly Blvd. Limited street parking. Note: They're CASH ONLY.

Definitely go if you like softserve ice cream.not a sit down spot but love this place. They've been there for years DELICIOUS

Been coming here since the late 80s and still the same! Love it love it love it. I enjoy bringing my nieces and nephews for banana splits with extra nuts

Fast and tasty on a hot summer day right next to a Marisco spot. Banana split and a parfait for the low

This place changed owners used to be ran by a Asian women now ran by a Mexican lady and it's just not the same the quality is poor the cone was steel if my stomach hurts by the end of the night I know why lmao the ice cream was a 5/10 I won't return tbh

No chocolate soft serve. Only vanilla. No seating. Service was fine but I would have rather gone to Dairy Queen tbh. Skip this place

CASH ONLY !!! As a quick heads up, this place only takes cash. Honestly such a random place I stumbled upon and it did not look particularly amazing from the outside. The ice cream itself though was truly amazing. It looks marvelous and tastes really creamy. Also was a very good price, would advise everyone to try.

Classic Freeze stop. There's constantly a line outside but it moves fast. Only downside is that it's cash only

Back for another strawberry slush float! It's like a snow cone with vanilla ice cream. This large was $6.20 Not sure if they don't give out change since I realized she didn't give me the 80 cents... but other than that, great place.

Local favorite. Been coming since I was little in 1980's with my older brothers. Now I come with my husband and kids.

Cash only with no atm. In this day and age at least have a Zelle link or credit card surcharge...

Love this place! Been going there for more than 40 years! Ice cream always tastes delicious! Especially the banana spl

i love this place always but the old lady grandma is super rudeeee. something for sure changed here after the business was passed down.

I'm new to east LA and wanted to find a place like Foster's Freeze. This place doesn't have burgers which is fine cus FF didn't have good burgers anyway.. lol. However there is a place right next door that sells Mexican food! I got a banana sundae and a small sundae for my partner. Bomb! Bonus that's it's down the street from where I live.

Despite the indifferent service from the worker (she was not very welcoming), I really enjoyed their ice cream. Soft served ice cream needs to be creamy, and thick and their ice cream hit the mark. On our way out of East LA to the IE I did a quick yelp search for some ice cream and found Bob's. I was gearing up for a +1hr ride back home and I needed some energy. Anything to get ice cream ha-ha. I ordered their banana sundae with strawberry syrup and everyone else got, a milkshake, and 2 chocolate dipped ice cream. I had read some reviews saying their ice cream was very runny so I feared they wouldn't be creamy but for our visit we were not disappointed. Glad we stopped by.

So glad I found this spot for soft serve. I got a dipped cone and it was so creamy and satisfying. The chocolate exterior had a nice texture once it cooled. I know where I'll be hanging this summer! I didn't know they were cash only. Thank goodness I had some on me.

Ordered 2 items 1 large chocolate dip ice cream cone = tasteless chocolate ( fake stuff ), cone was stale ( ack ) 1 strawberry slush = was good stuff

Bob freeze is located in EAST LA my home. Although I didn't grow up buying cones from here I wish I would have. Customer service is great (CASH ONLY) This is the perfect place to come with family especially little ones. (Be warned they want it all). Perfect for a date after a good dinner. Every thing they sell is worth trying the prices are a good match. Street parking and private parking. I will definitely ALWAYS come back.

Ice cream is delicious!! Brings me back to the old Dairy Queen in the 90's . Service was friendly and prices are very reasonable. I love that they are open late. Remember being cash as they ONLY take cash . No sitting area so we enjoyed in the car .

If you like cheap watery ice cream go to bobs freeze ! Service is regular nothing special ! Another down side is it's Cash only ! Also it looks pretty disorganized inside not so clean either ! Won't be returning !

Oh yes! My favorite banana split! Been going since the 1990s! Please don't ever close! My kids love the dip cone and I'm addicted to the banana split and banana sundae! Highly recommend!

Stopped here and Got a simple ice cream cone and it was delicious! The service was great and quick.

Tired of bougie *artisan* ice cream, and craving an old school dip cone or banana split? Bob's Freeze has got you. This small walk up shop has been around for decades, and is very charming. Their menu offers parfaits, shakes, slush floats, and a variety of sundaes. It is attached to a Marisco place, so you have some ceviche first if you want. There are a few tables outside for seating. They accept cash only, but everything is $2-5, so you don't need much. The ladies working were sweet, and it was fun watching them hand dip the cones into chocolate. The soft serve was ultra rich and creamy, and the chocolate dip shell offered the perfect crunch. Simple and satisfying. 10/10.

LOVE THIS PLACE! and customer service is great, only thing is I wish they can accept cards or apple pay :/

Omg!! I have been coming here for so many years. My daughter and I came a couple of days ago to get a dipped cone. The employee took our order, we paid and went straight to the car to eat our dessert. I saw the lady get up and I saw she was plucking with her bear hands, tweezers her beard and mustache..!!!

The lady who attended me was very kind, I got a banana split and it was delicious I totally recommend

Soft serve was delicious but was very surprised and sad that they didn't have any chocolate or rainbow sprinkles which are traditional ice cream toppings. They did have sundays, banana splits, slush and dip.

Small little ice cream stand that offers pretty cheap ice cream. They are cash only and have some spots on the street to park right in-front of their business. Chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream: The ice cream melted almost immediately, so you have to eat fast. The soft serve was very smooth and yummy. I thought it wasn't as sweet as McDonald's soft serve, but still delicious, 5/5! They had several things on their menu including parfaits, slushes, sundaes, and shakes. I'll definitely have to return to try the others!

Love this place, their selections and their customer service! I get the dipped cone every time and it is a nice treat!

I must say that Bob's Freeze is an excellent little ice cream place that will meet most of your ice cream/dessert needs. Make sure to beat the lines when it starts getting warmer.

This is one of those rare stores that only does one thing but is very good at it. Bob's Freeze serves only vanilla flavored soft serve but boy oh boy do they make it right! Theirs has a texture that is above its price range and would put budget soft serves like McDonald's to shame. Bob's tastes natural, milky and rich without feeling too synthetic or cheaply made. A few things to keep in mind: this establishment accepts only cash (no Zelle or Venmo either) and operates as take-out only. There is no seating available but the attached Mexican restaurant beside has some fixed chairs and tables.

Love this place. Great place to get tour fill on soft serve. We usually get a sundae, a parfait, and a banana split, eat it in the car and then get a large dipped cone to top it off. Oh sure, you feel like throwing up after but you don't dare. Staff is always friendly. Cash only

The lady was really friendly and the prices were very reasonable. The small sundae I got was less then $4 good for 2 people already. The sundae and strawberry were both not too sweet which is what I like.

Perfect little place for an inexpensive and nostalgic frozen treat. Can't beat the prices--and the banana split is yummy! Street and back lot parking available. It's a very small, walk-up to a window to order kinda place. Service can be inconsistent although most of the time it's just whatever. It's a single employee managing the orders, making the treats, and taking payment so she isn't the friendliest. I usually make a pit stop here for 'dessert' after ordering shrimp tacos from next door.

Didn't realize how close this was to me but I really wanted a chocolate dipped cone. I used to get it a Dairy Queen but don't live near one. Does anyone remember the ones they used to have at McDonalds? Anyone now to Bob's Freeze. Plenty of parking in the back. Cash only. Soft serve was nice and creamy. The chocolate dipped tasted a bit weird but acceptable. I went later in the day so maybe it sat there. Would definitely come back again. I can't find a dipped cone anywhere else

Was looking for ice cream in the area to beat the heat and came across Bob's freeze, got there around 8pm and got their dipped chocolate cones , was really tasty and hit the spot during the summer heat. Lots of street parking but they also have a parking lot in the back, they're right next to a seafood place. Options a bit limited but after we got our cones there were constantly tons of people that stopped by and ordered a ton of stuff which is surprising on a Monday, but the female worker worked really fast.

Very friendly experience here. Associate was the best. She was very friendly, polite, and professional. Had a banana shake with chocolate. Fresh ingredients. Just the right amount of thickness for me. Clean area. My brother had the small banana split and it was great according to him. The small was more than enough for him. Could taste each ingredient. Bananas had the right amount of ripeness. Will be back. I've been missing it while traveling into the area. Thanks for the positive experience.
