I first discovered this ice cream spot at Venice Fest in Mar Vista while craving something sweet. With so many dessert vendors to choose from, their truck immediately stood out because of its unique, authentic flavors. I remember trying a variety of options: Thai tea, a horchata-inspired rice berry flavor, and more but the one that stole my heart was the Belgian chocolate. As a chocolate lover, I had tasted plenty of chocolate ice creams before, but this one was on another level rich, creamy, and indulgently smooth. It was unlike any chocolate flavor I had ever had before simply heavenly. From that moment on, I was hooked.
My daughter opted for the horchata flavor, and someone else in our group tried the Thai tea, both of which were just as delicious. After that Venice Fest experience, I kept searching for them, hoping to find them nearby, but they were always at events and locations that were a bit out of reach. Then, a few years later, I was thrilled to see that they had a residency at Smorgasburg LA, where I could finally get my fix every Sunday at the weekly foodie event.
Fast forward to recently. I saw on social media that they had opened a brick-and-mortar location, and to my surprise and excitement, it was close to home! Since Del Amo Mall is my go-to shopping spot, I made it a point to visit. The woman working there was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the experience even better. Of course, I sampled a few flavors, all of which were just as amazing as I remembered, but I ultimately stuck with my favorite the Belgian chocolate. And let me tell you, it's still just as phenomenal as the first time I had it. Despite trying countless ice cream shops over the years, I crave this one.
Belgian Chocolate: 5/5 - The best chocolate ice cream I've ever had, and I frequent many ice cream spots.
Riceberry Horchata: 4.5/5 - My daughter loved this flavor, and she's very hard to please!
If they have the coconut flavored waffle bowl, get it! You will not be disappointed.
The shop itself isn't huge, so you won't find tables and chairs, but they do have benches where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream.
If you love unique, high-quality ice cream, you must give this place a try. Let's support them and help ensure they stay open for years to come!
