Fosselman's Ice Cream Co.

Mashti Malone's
HollywoodPersian ice cream$The La Brea institution for Persian ice cream: rosewater, saffron and roasted pistachio, so fragrant it surprises you, then ruins plain vanilla forever.
Fair Oaks Pharmacy & Soda Fountain
South Pasadena1915 soda fountain$A South Pasadena pharmacy since 1915, on old Route 66, with its soda fountain still pouring hand-dipped malts, phosphates, floats and ice cream sodas.

Magpies Softserve
Silver LakeSoft serve & pies$The Silver Lake original of LA's favorite soft serve. Order the signature sweetened cream first, then the daily flavors like maple French toast.
Diddy Riese
WestwoodIce cream sandwiches$The Westwood original of the ice cream cookie sandwich, still drawing lines out the door decades on. Closed Mondays; open until 11 on Fridays and Saturdays.
Sweet Rose Creamery
BrentwoodIce cream shop$Brentwood Country Mart's scoop shop: classics always, plus rotating specials like sweet potato with sesame brittle, and tubs to take home.
