Happy Ice

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.

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

Highly recommend! Stopped in for the first time, and the staff went above and beyond to make it a great experience. Tried the All Star—amazing texture and flavor. Can’t wait to come back!

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

Our new favorite spot! The kids love the gelati and the staff are very friendly! We will be coming back every time we crave something sweet!

This place is amazing! You can really taste a difference with every flavor, and the ice cream adds so much to it. The entire area has this very colorful happy theme. Dont eat it while its cold though hahaha, it will freeze you. Everyone is very nice, and the color changing spoons are such a nice touch!

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.

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.

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.

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!

This place kept popping up on my social media so I had this on my bucket list when I'm in town. Lot's of parking at this location. The staff was very friendly and patient with our large group. The dessert was very refreshing and the texture is smooth.

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!

First time here and Nicole was amazing! Luckily, there was no line, and she was super helpful while I looked through all the options. She had such a positive attitude and great energy. I went with "Time Machine" (cherry, pineapple, and mango) with chamoy and tajín -- absolutely bomb and super smooth! I also tried the Dole Pineapple Sundae, and it was good! Even the spoons change color from cold to warm, which was a cool little surprise. Thanks, Nicole!

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! :)

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!

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

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!

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!

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

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!

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!

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.

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

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

I wish I would have taken pictures of my water ice! They gave out free samples. It is the best and tasted delicious! I definitely want to come back and try it with ice cream. Staff was extremely friendly!

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!!

FRESH PEACH SUNDAE...Thank me later! Honestly this is a one of a kind dessert that has got to make it on some kind of best of LA list because there is simply nothing like it. I won't even do it justice by describing it, but the Happy Ice crew has captured the most perfect peach bite with their fresh peach ice flavor, added a layer of perfectly smooth vanilla to it, and topped it with fresh cut peaches and peach puree. It's perfection and there is truly nothing like it anywhere in the world!

A real happy vibes place. Staff is always friendly and allow you to sample the flavors. Great flavored ice.

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.

Staff was amazing and very helpful. They let you sample which helps you narrow down your choice. "The Machine " tastes like an old school Big Stick popsicle (cherry, pineapple, mango). The "All Star " tastes like a bomb pop! (Cherry, blue raspberry, lemonade ). Will be back to try more flavors!

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!

The gelati specialty is the way to go. I can be picky about my desserts, & their vanilla soft serve is top tier. Not too sweet, perfectly balances the gelato, and leaves you wanting more. I tried Summer Time, with the dairy-based vanilla soft serve. Absolutely delish!! Staff & management are so friendly and this is a perfect place to grab a refreshing sweet treat. The location is clean and there's plenty of indoor seating. Parking can be tricky, but that's always been the case with this plaza. If you're lucky, they're trying out new recipes & might have samples to give. Definitely will be returning here soon.

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.

A new ice cream place in the valley. It's really refreshing and good! My kids loved it! Must get the gelati with the ice cream on top. The only thing I would add..is that they need to put more ice cream for the gelati speciality orders! Otherwise, the water is smooth and has a nice tart taste! This place is vegan friendly. Even the ice cream has dairy and non dairy options. It's new, clean, and about 6-7 tables inside!

Absolutely delicious! The servers were helpful, and gave us the inside scoop . The decor is fun, and the seasonal specials hit the spot!

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!

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.

It was soooooo hot over the weekend and so I had to go to Happy Ice for some gelati!!! I went sour apple and lemonade water ice (or like we said back in DE and PA, WOODER ice) with the oat milk soft serve. Yes the water ice is already vegan so no worries there.

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!

I first tried happy ice when they were just a truck driving around! Then they opened up a location on melrose and I would visit whenever I was in the area and when I saw that they opened up here!! Ahhh I am so happy. Their soft serve is great too so creamy and thick. I love their "shaved ice"! They are always so kind and happy to serve. And it's so colorful and cool just like the dessert they offer!

I'm so happy to see there's a store location near me! I first tried happy ice at one of their food trucks and was in love with the presentation and variety of flavors. When walking into the store location the gentleman working was very friendly and the inside was very clean with plenty of seating available. I ordered a rainbow rocket, which is a little bit of each flavor and my fiancé had made his own creation and added some of their dairy free vanilla ice cream on top. Everything came out beautifully and just as delicious as I remember when I first tried Happy Ice :)

What a cute little place. We were greeted happily as we entered. The employee guided us thru the menu, and gave us some recommendations. Really liked it!

10/10! Saw this place on TikTok and had to try it--so good! Great taste, awesome service, and such a cute spot. I'm definitely coming back.

WOW! This place is very delicious. I usually don't like popsicles or snow cone type of desserts. But this place has the most flavorful and delicious fruity ice treats. Super soft and tastes natural. Their gelati has a non dairy option as well. Very cooling during the summer!

Went here today for the 2bd time and the young lady working there was amazing with great customer service spirt and everything. When I get good service like that I take my time and leave a review . Wish I got her name 7/27/25 1:45pm And of course happy Ice hit the spot

Never had a bad experience at happy ice! Staff is always friendly and the rainbow rocket always hits

Very good! The colors are so pretty here no matter the combinations you mix. Great service . I hope they last here... it's a great place to come try
