Artisanal ice cream with unique flavors & house-made waffle cones
"This sibling-owned scoop shop in North Torrance is ideal for when you’re craving ice cream that’s a little more balanced than a nine-topping sugar bomb. Kansha’s flavors are kept simple to highlight star ingredients: roasted barley tea, nutty black sesame, or milk ice cream with caramel and fresh-baked oatmeal cookies. If you see any seasonal fruit flavors on the menu, prioritize—they often source from growers at the Torrance Farmers’ Market. And since Kansha is located in a strip mall near some of the South Bay’s best Japanese spots, you'll feel smart suggesting dessert after ramen for lunch." - cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins

Lines consistently form at this LA favorite. Note: The shop is closed on Sunday and Wednesday." - Eater Staff
"Sporting a slew of ice cream made on-site, this Gardena shop comes from James Tatsuya and Elaine Yukari, who make different flavors every day and use fresh, seasonal ingredients. The hours are limited, with service from just 12:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. (closed Sunday and Wednesday), but the shop generously donates a portion of its sales to charities." - Eater Staff
"Eat ice cream and do good at this Torrance-based ice cream shop that dedicates a percentage of every sale toward a charitable organization.

"This sibling-owned scoop shop in North Torrance is ideal for when you’re craving ice cream that’s a little more balanced than some of those nine-ingredient sugar bombs you’ll find around town. Most of Kansha’s flavors are kept simple to highlight star ingredients: intense dark chocolate with roasted barley tea, nutty black sesame, or milk ice cream swirled with caramel and fresh-baked oatmeal cookies. If you see any seasonal fruit flavors on the menu, ask for a sample—they often source from growers at the Torrance Farmers’ Market. And since Kansha is located in a strip mall near some of the South Bay’s best Japanese spots, you can feel smart suggesting dessert after slurping a bowl of ramen for lunch." - Garrett Snyder
