Classic ice cream shop serving handmade scoops, shakes & more






















"Greetings from the grandaddy of all LA ice cream. Established in 1919, Fosselman’s is the definition of a classic, and if you haven’t gone to the Alhambra location at least once, you can’t really say you know LA ice cream. This is the kind of rich, creamy, old-school ice cream you crave when you’re home plowing through a season of Law & Order you’ve already watched. The fudge sundae is a must. Warning: cash only." - cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins

"This 105-year-old Alhambra shop is pure soda fountain joy with floats, malts, and some of the city’s best scoops. The coffee ice cream with chunks of Oreo cookies is a winner." - Eater Staff

"This 100-year-old ice cream brand still churns some of the city’s best scoops, anywhere. Of course, the Alhambra-based company’s soda fountain options (floats, malts, and more) are worth the trip to the original location or the more recently opened space in Glendora." - Eater Staff

"Ice cream from Fosselman's in Alhambra is used to make Confections by Kirari's cookie sundaes, supplying vanilla bean, dark chocolate, and sea salt caramel options for the shop's sundaes." - Mona Holmes

"Operating for 100 years, Fosselman’s is greater Los Angeles’s oldest ice cream company and has long been a San Gabriel Valley home for handmade ice creams in traditional flavors; its existing scoop shop in Alhambra still carries a pared-back, retro aesthetic similar to New York City’s Morgenstern’s. The namesake family remains involved as it expands its footprint — Mike’s brothers Chris and John jointly operate the Alhambra location." - Farley Elliott
