Carmela Ice Cream

Love them and all their flavors..only thing I didn't really love is the cone. Was a bit too thick for me but wouldn't stop me from going again.

The ice cream was delicious and I enjoyed my scoops! It's all street parking so keep that in mind while coming here. The store is small and there's not a lot of waiting space. While the staff wasn't rude or mean, they weren't very affable. Would likely only return if I'm in the area.

Something about this place awakens my inner princess and makes me want to quit my job so I can spend the rest of my days living in the Alps making organic icecream with berries that I harvested from the forest behind my house. So fancy. So yummy. They offer seasonal icecream classes that are super fun - a great family/friend/date activity. 100% recommend.

The ice cream is one of a kind. It's so good. The service is always great. They always great you with a smile. The ambiance it's an ice cream shop, it looks like one and my god it is one! My wife and I used to go to the one located in Woodland Hills while we were dating. It was our go to ice cream spot after a hike. Now whenever we are in the area we try to stop and get a scoop!

What We Ordered: -Strawberry Buttermilk Ice Cream (Child Size) $4.95 -Dark Chocolate Cookie Fresh Mint w/Cacao Nibs $7.95 -Chocolate Taco $7.95 Established 2007. Carmela Ice Cream is an artisan Ice Cream maker that specializes in small batches made with real and fresh ingredients. Carmela is one of the OG's in farm-to-table cream. They are known for incorporating fresh and local produce. I've been craving a Choco Taco for a minute now. I came back from living abroad to find out that the Choco Taco was discontinued in 2022. I was really living under a rock it seems like. I searched online for an ice cream shop that does something similar. I came across a link that lists all the places in the greater Los Angeles area where you can find Chocolate Tacos. I came across Carmelas and heard some really great things about their artisan ice cream and other creations. I came in craving Mint Cacao Nibs and a Chocolate Taco. Unfortunately for me, the chocolate taco doesn't come with mint ice cream. However, they can customize an ice cream sandwich to your liking. The staff recommends that you get a pre-made ice sandwich from freezer as the made-to-order one with be too soft and it will fall apart. Luckily, they have pre-made Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwiches with the Mint Cacao. It was very good. The Dark Chocolate Cookie is covered in fresh sea salt and provides a nice salty taste to the cookie. The Fresh Mint Ice Cream w/Cacao Nibs has a very distinct taste like no other Mint Ice Cream you've ever had before. It was described to me by the staff as having the taste of fresh mint leaves. There's no better description than that. I tried the Lavender Honey flavor and it was also very good as well. So I came in wanting a Chocolate Taco, but my wife got wind of this and decided she wanted one. I decided to get the Dark Chocolate Cookie Fresh Mint w/Cacao Nibs instead and it was the right decision as it was equally delicious. The wife and I ended up shared both of them. The Chocolate Taco was great and brought back a rush of childhood nostalgia. You always remember those first time your parents let you pick out what you wanted from the ice cream truck. This memory stood out in particular as my parents were quite strict and frugal. It wasn't everyday that I could get a Choco Taco or anything from the ice cream truck. Carmela's is one of the best farm-to-table ice cream shops out there. I highly recommend that you give them a try.
