Happy Ice

I'm aware of this company because I sell batteries to production in hollywood.@Lemeir Mitchell was on the show Black Ink Compton and I was introduced to he's Business from The show. I came across the truck one day driving around Los Angeles pulled over got a icy. Took a picture of my icy in front of the truck and was featured on Yelp Happy Ice page. I stand behind this company so much with their product. We don't have ice in Cali, he brings the back east missing component here. I'm so excited that he has a valley location in northridge. Whether you see the truck or go to the standing store in Northridge you will not regret your decision. He's branching out with a lot of new flavors like banana pudding. peach cobbler & He also has Dole whip. On his Tic Tac he shows you he makes everything fresh daily. Nothing like variety. YUM

Happy Ice is a spot that literally can make anyone happy. They have the most delicious mixes of sorbet, or just a clean, delicious vanilla soft serve. Regardless of what flavor you get you will be satisfied. I’ve brought my girls here many times and have always been met with smiles, great service, and delicious treats.

If you’ve ever had Joe’s Italian Ice in Anaheim and have a craving for Italian ice and gelatti but don’t want to drive that far, LOOK NO FURTHER. I ordered a mange, strawberry, and pineapple with their dairy ice cream and it was amazing. Jade was absolutely the sweetest employee I’ve encountered in a long time but she went above and beyond! She let me try multiple flavors and even added that their OAT NON DAIRY ice cream was actually first before the dairy and she let me try the OAT ice cream on the side and let me tell you, I’m getting that from now on. I’m so happy I don’t have to drive to Anaheim anymore when I have this awesome spot right here! Definitely recommend trying this place if you haven’t.

Wow!! This is my first time coming here and it did not disappoint me. I order the banana pudding joy-lati and it was so delicioussssss!!!! Loved it!!! It was perfect. This will definitely be my new spot.

My Family and i LOVE this place. We have been following Happy Ice since the Melrose Location. The staff members are always so friendly and the Famous Owner is Always around. We are so Happy this location is now closer to us. Keep up the great work. The Delicious flavors are so amazing. So colorful and vivid.

One of the best and most unique desserts you’ll find in LA The ice is so soft and smooth, creamy, not overly sweet or sugary, and tastes great! The ice cream is so thick and rich and wonderful Staff is always fantastic If I lived across the street I’d be here every other day

This place came highly recommended and it absolutely did not disappoint. The flavors are a culinary trip. The consistency of the ice is formidable. It’s churred to the point where it tastes like ice cream. The place is beautiful & clean. Staff is phenomenal. A yummy vegan & dairy feee option. We will absolutely be back

This place just opened, and since it was so hot outside, "Happy Ice" sounded really good.... The service was excellent, and after tasting a few samples , I ordered the watermelon and sour apple mix! It was really good. I will definitely be back!

I first encountered Happy Ice at an event for work. I was blown away by the flavor, colors, and ethics of this business and, as someone with Philly heritage, I couldn't believe that I had found local "wuter" ice that tasted like home (but...better?!). I loved it so much that started scoping out the two storefronts. Last night, I finally got to visit this Northridge location! I have nothing but great things to say about my experience at Happy Ice: my server was super helpful and friendly, the store was super clean, and service was super fast overall. I purchased a pint of blue raspberry and watermelon. It was the BEST treat after playing a concert at CSUN -- amazing flavors and perfect texture (for those new to this style of ice, it's very smooth and, while thick, super scoopable). Wildly affordable for the quality, too! I can't wait to return!

I went in with a crazyyyyyy long line and noticed they only had two people working. Yet, despite the busyness and madness of only having 2 people to handle all that business they had such warm customer service and upbeat spirits. Never seen someone smile so much in the middle of what should be such chaos lol. They're ices are second to none too

My family is from Philly and this reminds we of water ice but in Cali. Every scoop jam packed with flavors, it doesn't turn into slush but stays the perfect consistency and it's the most refreshing snack you could have. We came and it was packed out the door, with only the owner and one other staff member running the show and they didn't disappoint, these two ran this place and the crowd better than most restaurants I've been to with triple the staff. The music in the background creates nice vibes for when you dine in. This spot is a must have no matter where you are in SoCal, you need to make the trip at least once. *not sure of the two flavors (Banana pudding and Peach Cobbler) are permanently on the menu.

The cutest happy place! Came with the kiddos for an after school treat! Such a happy vibe and wicked happy I've! My son had his joylatti way and it was adorable! Color changing spoons! They have vegan options and I just loved the ambiance here! Kids cups are packed so well variety of things to choose from! Downside? Just the crazy parking from the busy plaza but worth the wait!

If you're looking for the perfect sweet treat, Happy Ice delivers every single time! The service is consistently five stars -- the staff is incredibly friendly, patient, and always willing to walk you through flavors. I love that they give out free samples of ALL their flavors, which makes choosing so much more fun. My go-to is their Summer Time mixture -- seriously refreshing and bursting with flavor. Pro tip: get your ice paired with a scoop of dairy ice cream. It's the perfect combo of creamy + icy and totally gives me Hawaii vibes. The only downside is that parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day, but honestly it's worth the effort. If you're in the area, Happy Ice is a must!

I've been seeing the Peach Cobbler Joylati all over Instagram and knew I had to come back and try it before it's off the menu. Oh my gosh it was the best dessert I've ever had! The ingredients are all so fresh and nothing about it tastes or is artificial. My mom and I absolutely loved this dessert!

Happy Ice is one of my favorite go-to's after church. I love exposing my friends to this wonderful establishment. I've always had impecable service and the options keep piling on. They've added a new item to the menu since I was last there. I will report back on the name of it the next time I go back, but there are two flavors. Pineapple and strawberry. I've had the pineapple one when they were experimenting with it awhile back and absolutely loved it. I tried the strawberry this time and it was exquisite! It consisted of soft serve ice cream, (I went with nondairy) strawberry water ice, fresh strawberries, more ice cream, more strawberries, and strawberry syrup to top it. It was delicious! The ambiance is very inviting. There is plenty of space to sit and eat with friends and there is a restroom available for use. Also, it's Black History Month. Go support this Black-owned establishment. There are two locations. One in Northridge and one in LA off Fairfax. You will not be disappointed. Become a happy camper today!

Was able to finally try HAPPY ICE! I heard about a black owned dessert shop as they were vendors for a grad school event and was happy to find they have a storefront. When I entered I was greeted by staff and informed of the process and the flavors. I purchased the summertime specialty which had strawberry watermelon and mango. It was delicious and refreshing. The storefront was fairly sized with plenty of seating and parking. I'll definitely return to another happy ice location closer to home.

Happy Ice is a must-visit! They have many flavor options and combinations that there truly is something for everyone. The staff was welcoming and took the time to explain the menu since it was our first visit. You can even combine their Happy Ice flavors with soft-serve ice cream! My dad ordered the dairy soft-serve (they also offer oat milk) on a waffle cone and it was really good! I couldn't make up my mind, so I went with the All Star a popular combination of Cherry, Blueberry, and Lemonade. Everything we tried was delicious and we will definitely be back!

The service at Happy Ice is always great. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and consistently goes above and beyond to create a memorable experience. The vibe is always fun with the loud music. In honor of Black History Month, we had to try the banana pudding ice, and it absolutely lived up to expectations. You could immediately tell it was made with real ingredients. Seeing the fresh bananas when walking in set the tone, and you could taste that authenticity in every bite. The flavor was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, but full of real banana flavor. What made the visit even more special was the experience they created for my son. I asked if they could make something in Spider-Man colors, and they happily put it together for him. Seeing his excitement when they handed it to him made the moment unforgettable. It showed how much they care about their customers and the experience they create.

Amazing flavors! Super refreshing and tasty, and you have the option to add ice cream as well. They always have a set of combo flavors to choose from, all of which are great. friendly staff with a bright and inviting decor inside.

I saw on TikTok that they were doing banana pudding flavor for black history month and had to come try it before they stopped it, and OMG Im so glad I did! It wasn't too sweet, and the banana flavor was so yummy! I hope they keep this flavor! The service was great too! We will be back!

HAPPY ICE in Northridge?!?! Don't mind if I do! This location is close to CSUN in a large shopping center frequented by Matadors. Large free parking lot that doesn't seem to run out of space. There was a short line to order. Our giant party was easily accommodated by the the super friendly, supper HAPPY staff. Flavors were good. Ice has great texture. Trusted the server and she gave us an awesome choice. Also, she mad it really pretty!

I've been wanting to try Happy Ice for a while now and I'm so glad there's a location near me now. It's located in a bit of a busy parking lot with lots of other food spots. Very family friendly ambiance. Great service, we got a quick run down of the flavors and I tried the rainbow rocket. Super yummy and good for a hot day. I love how it's non dairy and water based! It is a little pricey, a small was about $6. I'm definitely gonna bring my nephews here to try it out.

My friends and I went to go get some Happy Ice after our dinner. It's a yummy sweet treat that packs a ton of flavor! You can choose between the gelati (vanilla only, from the machine) or the water ice (hand-scooped, and can be any mix of flavors of your choosing or the ones on the menu). You can also do both with the gelati on top! Toppings you can include for free is condensed milk, white chocolate, crushed oreos, and sprinkles. The water ice was smooth textured and perfect for a hot day. You can also get free samples to try out a flavor! The lady was super friendly and nice! Price wise, the small is $6 but I didn't finish it and had lids for to-go. Meanwhile some people don't mind grabbing the pint size (bigger than large) to have more for future also! My mix of flavors was yummy and went for what I was going for! (Sour apple, blue raspberry, pineapple, mango). PS Bathroom has a code but make sure you knock first because there's no lock if someone is inside!

Love Happy Ice! It's the perfect summer treat. I had their rainbow rocket which includes all of their ice flavors. Next time I'll have to try it with ice cream. Service was great and the shop is so cute inside. There is plenty of seating, too.

Delicious definitely worth it ! The staff is so friendly and welcoming . My fam and I loved it

I have known about happy ice for a while but never knew they cater! They give a huge chests that stays cool for 5-8 hours. You can get up to 4 flavors and they have signature ones to choose from. You can't go wrong with any flavor really. I'm so happy they brought this to the valley because they were far from me in LA for the longest. The staff was so nice and helpful. They helped me to my car as well. The parking however is very tight where they are located so be careful with backing out. It was also super busy on a Saturday. I plan to go back and enjoy in the store. Thanks happy ice!

Well , to start Kelsey was absolutely brilliant! She is the most friendliest person to talk to and has outstanding customer service! My grandpa and I's first time here at Happy Ice and it was such a great first impression. We will be definitely coming back again. Not only was the shop very clean and neat but it had a great welcoming feeling of home. Thank you for your amazing service Kelsey

My family and I love coming in for a late sweet treat, the flavors are amazing and the staff is always so friendly and helpful. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the very loud music, my son is autistic and almost every time we come in we have to leave before we finish our ice cream because he gets over stimulated by the loud music, we tried sitting by the door furthest from the speakers but doesn't really help, I hesitate to ask staff to turn it down, not sure if they're able to accommodate us

Loved!! My sister and I needed a pick-me-up and this was perfect! True happiness in a cup! And the place itself makes you happy too: from the welcoming staff, the colorful walls and chairs, to the neon quote inside. Super cute spot that's a great addition to our community! Thank you to the kind staff for giving us a rundown of the menu and letting us try different flavors! Y'all were so sweet and we are very excited to go back!

This place has been on my list when they were only on wheels. I also forget to grab some on my way out from downtown Disney. You can imagine my joy when I found out they opened a location here in the valley. The place is spacious, clean and has plenty of seating. I had a warm welcome upon entering and was immediately helped by Liz, who informed me about all of their flavors/options. Think of this place as a Rita's (IYKYK). Liz offered all of the possible samples and even suggested the perfect gelati combination. I couldn't recommend this place enough and thank Liz for providing such great customer service and making our first visit great. Definitely coming back here..all the time ;P

Tried all black history month flavors, all are Delicious! Waited on the sweet potato soft serve, watched the owner make from scratch. He even gave us a free cone for waiting, very nice as well as his employees. Great vibe, look forward to see next month's flavors.

I'm soooooo glad that we have a HAPPY ICE in the valley I was in the area today having lunch and decided that this was gonna be my sweet stop I've been to the Melrose location several times but this spot has more room and more PARKING. Service was excellent and cheerful as always I was greeted with a smile as soon as I got in. If you ever need a pick me up....visit Happy Ice. Your mood will instantly change for the better. The atmosphere or ambiance is very umm...HAPPY Today I chose my own 3 flavors....yummm.

I absolutely love this place ! The soft serve ice cream has a vanilla bean flavor ! I got a strawberry one last time. The employees are amazing, they let you try whichever one you want to try and they are kind about it!

I enjoyed this place! Happy Ice is like having a melted-down popsicle with a large variety of flavor options to mix and match! You also add ice cream. It's a sweet lover's dream. The price is affordable, and the portion size is generous--a small size was substantial enough for me, while the larger portion was big enough to share. The staff was knowledgeable and welcoming. The location is small but cozy! I highly recommend it if you love ice cream and popsicles. I got myself and my two children each a cup around $20 plus tax! :)

This place was amazing. Drove totally out of the way to try this place while visiting SoCal. It was well worth it. Employee was so nice and helped me decide on what to get. The flavors of the water ice were so good. Just really wish there was a location in northern CA.

My friend has been to their other location and told me about this new one when they were still "coming soon"! Haven't gotten the chance to try it till today. Parking lot is a bit busy and almost always full here but if you don't mind walking, the parking towards the Reseda end of the lot is almost always vacant. My bf and I shared a Regular: Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, Lemonade topped with Vanilla Sweet Cream. I love how they scoop all the flavors together to make it look all multicolor and cool! The flavors worked perfectly together and I highly recommend the vanilla sweet cream topping. Didn't catch the worker's name but he made sure to have that "happy" tone in his voice and greeted every single customer who walked in. Plenty of seating and even have the option of high top seating (bar stools). Absolutely delicious Italian ice and love that it has its own home here since it's a rare find amongst all the froyo and ice cream spots around. Looking forward to coming back and trying some with Chamoy and Tajin toppings! IG: @ammysalamii

I was looking for a new dessert place and ended up finding my favorite one - Happy Ice is SO good. We got the seasonal peach flavor with non-dairy soft serve which actually had chunks of the skin in it, so you know it's actually real. It was a great treat without being overly sweet and was very refreshing. I'll definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing. One of the best desserts you can have in Los Angeles. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The ice is not icy but not creamy, it's a really unique and delicious texture almost like a cross between custard and Korean shaved ice. It's not overly sweet and has great fruit flavors. And the softserve is outstanding. So thick and rich and delicious!!

Finally got to try this with our kids. We all loved it. I like this kind of dessert because I am bot into sweets. Its refreshing for me, my kids loved the falvors too and you could also add vanilla ice cream if you want...the service was incredible, I assume their college kods and they are so nice and helpful. The inside is really cute!! I loved how neat and clean it is especially the wall paints, so colorful

We went for an evening sweet treat. I got the Summer Time Gelati-- the flavors are Sweet Watermelon, Strawberry, and Mango Tango. The cream and ice together are a cool twist, but the flavor profile doesn't quite hit where it would make me crave this often. I probably wouldn't get this weekly for a sweet treat but would recommend Happy Ice for friends who are looking for something different. Think summer festival energy in a cup: colorful and unique. The staff was very friendly and wasn't busy around 7pm. It might not be my forever favorite, but it is a good pick-me-up on a hot day.

Water ice?!? Yessss please!! It's the perfect sweet treat year round. It's creamy tasting without feeling heavy and the flavors are not overly sweet nor does it taste fake. High quality ingredients for fresh tasting flavors. The place is spotless clean. Their menu is simple and the staff are super friendly. Love that it is close by CSUN and plenty of parking! Prices are very reasonable too!

Great new spot in the Valley and close to me which is a bonus. Nice refreshing treat, vegan friendly, nice clean flavors, not artificial tasting at all, ice cream is very good, smooth and creamy, I really liked it. When we went, the owner happened to be there, very friendly and asked how we liked everything and seemed genuinely interested in us as customers, which is very cool. Love the logo and how it is bright and clean inside. Simple menu and just a very welcoming vibe here. They have a Happy Ice truck to go to functions at schools, businesses, fundraisers, etc. Check it out. This location is right near CSUN, so a great spot for the College kids as well as families and just anyone in the valley. Looks like they have 3 locations, this one, one in LA and one in Philly, so we are lucky to have one so close. Go out and enjoy a nice Italian Ice or gelati (ice cream on top), choose your flavors, let them choose or get them all. Go wild and support a local small business. Join their reward club via Toast and for every 100 points, you get $5.00 off. Enjoy!

What's better than really good sorbet and gelati?? Really great service! We walked in 40 minutes prior to closing. There was a large family and a few more people ahead of us. After we walked in though. People began pouring in. The line stacked all the way to the back of the store. Leonard, the only employee working there was funny, kind, and just genuinely happy! HAPPY ICE! He acknowledged everyone coming in to the store, greeted them. He made sure to address everyone waiting. He truly did the best he could to accommodate. Not once wqs he frustrated or upset or angry, and it truly made for a wonderful experience. Its a bright clean store. With simple flavors. No frill toppings. And just really good sorbet and soft serve Gelato.

Great dessert spot, especially on a hot day. Workers are always friendly. Delicious flavors. Lots of variety. They even let you taste test before buying. Creamy, smooth, and dairy free if you get the option without ice cream. Plenty of tables and chairs inside. Happy Ice is located in a strip mall, so there is plenty of parking.. Decent selection of ready made pints available for purchase.

Valley People Rejoice! Happy Ice is finally here near CSUN! I have been to the Downtown Disney location but this is so much closer! Dairy free, nut free, gluten free & vegan friendly. The staff is happy and the cold treats are popping. Excited to welcome you guys to Reseda/Northridge! My favorite is the Time Machine - tastes like a Big Stick but in a cup! Add vanilla gelati for a treat boost! Located in the Auto Zone shopping center at the intersection of Nordhoff & Reseda. Get happy!

OMG FINALLY - a happy ice in the valley!! The perfect sweet treat - after dinner, after school after and/or before literally anything. I love Rita's Italian ice but happy ice's consistency is 10000000x better. And the staff are all so nice and happy. 10/10!

I ordered a Rainbow Rocket which is ALL of their flavors. The flavors are so good and not artificial tasting at all. Would love to get them catered in the future as the prices seem super affordable. Service is good even when they're busy. Everyone's really friendly. So glad they're in my part of town to finally try them.

My new favorite ice cream spot! My favorite so far are the sundae's. I've tried Pineapple, strawberry and peach so far and I can't pick a favorite because they're all so good. This nice gentleman in the picture helped us out today was so helpful and kind. Will keep coming back!

this place is the best thing to ever exist since sliced bread please never close. I wish I could take this store to the afterlife when I die. I love this shaved ice so much this is incredible. The place is super cute and conveniently in my neighborhood I can't believe I hadn't tried it out sooner.

So excited that Happy Ice has made its way to the Valley! On Opening Day, my family and I tried the Rainbow Rocket Gelati with their new dairy ice cream, and wow--I was speechless. It felt like I was having two desserts in one! The perfect blend of smooth, creamy ice cream and refreshing water ice--it's honestly the best of both worlds. I also loved the little details, like the color-changing spoon they gave with my order. Not sure if that's a standard thing or just for the grand opening, but it was such a fun touch. And speaking of fun--the founder himself was there, chatting with customers and asked us about what we thought. He was genuinely interested in how we liked our choices. I loved how engaged and personable he was; it made the experience feel even more special. Lots of parking as it's in a relatively big plaza. There's some seating inside if you want to enjoy your dessert right away! Can't wait to go back!

I've been wanting to try this place and finally did last night. It was worth the wait (we are from the SGV so we had to wait until we were in the area). The staff were so friendly. The ice was so so good. Flavor was great and not too much. The texture!! Amazing. The ice cream on top really made it that much better. Portions and prices weren't bad at all. We'll definitely be coming back!

Simply the best! So many good flavors to choose from...it's hard to decide! You can't go wrong with any flavor. Great customer service, clean and friendly atmosphere. Love the vibes with the music.

Tasty and refreshing for hot days! Such a fun and interesting texture! Clean and cute shop with friendly staff!

If you are looking for a light, frozen treat, this is it! Happy Ice always has great service and a chill vibe whether you are visiting one of the trucks or one of their stores! Every employee is friendly which makes the service amazing! I've even had the pleasure of interacting with the owner about the staff and the amazing Philly ice that is served. Today I had the Dole Pineapple sundae with soft serve ice cream, roasted pineapple and an AMAZING pineapple sauce! It is a definite must try!

We love Happy Ice and we're very excited to realize that they also have a location in Northridge (we were familiar with their Melrose) location. The Northridge location has a ton of parking and also has more indoor seating. The worker during our visit was extremely friendly and it was excellent service. The flavors are really good, we normally get the mix which has everything. We tried their ice cream this visit, which has a nice (almost marshmallow-like) taste. Overall we had a fantastic visit and are very happy that one is closer to our neighborhood. Happy Ice comes very, very, very, very recommended!

Bombdiggity!!! Go run quick best Happy ice ever!!! Cherry ice with vanilla gelati & the founder by the founder!! We enjoyed it very much
