Organic ice cream, waffles, sundaes, jukebox, and quirky decor
"Think you’ve seen all LA’s ice cream scene has to offer? Try Fluffy McCloud’s. This Echo Park dessert shop looks like a retro soda fountain designed by Pee-Wee Herman (may he rest in peace). There’s an old-school gumball machine dispensing Lactaid pills, a jukebox sporting deer horns, and a Saturn-shaped lamp towering over the ice cream case. Naturally, TikTok is obsessed with it. And, if you enjoy a classic banana split or creamy “pistachioyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo” ice cream, you will be too. Fluffy stays open until midnight, so it's a good place to linger with friends after drinking wine at El Prado or crowd-surfing at Echoplex." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"This quirky Echo Park shop looks like a retro soda fountain designed by Pee-Wee Herman (RIP). There’s an old-school gumball machine dispensing Lactaid pills, a jukebox sporting deer horns, and a Saturn-shaped lamp towering over the ice cream case. Fluffy's keeps its dozen or so house-made flavors simple—there are staples like chocolate, strawberry, and mint chip, plus twists like honeydew sorbet and princess cake. Fluffy stays open until midnight, so it's a good place to linger with a brûléed banana split after drinking wine at El Prado." - cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins
"When entering Fluffy McCloud’s in Echo Park, prepare to be transported to a joyful experience. There’s a lot to look at in this joint with a glowing jukebox, cow material-covered booths, Lactaid dispenser from a gumball machine, flying saucer chandeliers, and a kinetic rolling ball sculpture to watch while consuming a waffle cone filled with ice cream made with organic ingredients with milk, sugar, and eggs." - Eater Staff

"Here’s a post-game strategy, especially when bringing young fans to Dodger Stadium. Instead of taking an hour (or more) to leave the parking lot or take a rideshare, walk. Walk down Vin Scully Avenue, heading west onto Sunset Boulevard, and right into Fluffy McCloud’s for a root beer float or an ice cream sandwich made with the conchas from Cafe Tropical." - Matthew Kang
