This ice cream spot is perfect if you’re looking to have a unique ice cream experience in Hollywood. There are plenty of parking garages nearby or street parking one block away. Masks are required as they are following COVID-19 guidelines. I got the matcha kit kat cone and it was amazing! The cone is also made out of churro! Will definitely be coming back.

I liked this new ice cream spot in Hollywood! Everyone should stop by and check the interior and of course once you’re there – you won’t be able to resist their ice creams in freshly baked cinnamon cones. It definitely worth waiting

My favorite ice cream shop not just in Los Angeles. They are always so kind, friendly, and jovial when I come and I’ve been twice now to this location.

Pros:
– unique flavors
– super tasty&warm cones yummmmm
– indoor/outdoor seating

Cons:
– none??
– parking i guess?

Looking forward to a return visit 🙂

Great spot for ice cream, shake or a coffee. I had the Tiramisu and loved it. Great European taste, not too sweet and delicious fried dough cone. Expect a little different and enjoy! Great coffee too, I had the Americano and enjoyed it without milk! Amazing instagram spot with the wall art & awesome murals! Must see place to head to on a visit to the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

This small shop is a must stop if you’re in the Hollywood Blvd area. There’s a large variety of choices of European Chimney cakes with ice cream and shakes! We were greeted with a warm welcome by founder and co-owner David. Their staff are very friendly and provide professional customer service. They also do adhere to social distancing by wearing masks and gloves. Definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth.
