on Citysearch Oct 16, 2008This family run business makes the best ice cream. The ice cream is so creamy and yummy. You will find flavors as interesting as pumpkin, taro and lemon custard. The prices are very reasonable.... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 22, 2007I got the french vanilla on a whim and it was the best french vanilla ice cream I have ever had. No kidding. It somehow tasted a little like root beer! I might be crazy- but it's worth tasting to find out for yourself... (more)

on Citysearch May 16, 2007A few of my friends and I used to go to Fosselman's at least once a week. One of us, however, had a gift certificate for a half gallon of ice cream, so we decided to get a few of us together to go. We bought the ice cream and... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 11, 2006Last time I went I had banana praline and classic strawberry. Both were authentically flavored without too much sickly sweet sugar and rich and creamy without that Ben and Jerry's comatose after-effect. The lines... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 03, 2006I add my enthusiastic support to the other reviews here, but another distinguishing aspect of Fosselman's is it's acknowledgement of being located in a very Asian neighborhood. And, to that end they have flavors... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 10, 2006I like they ice cream b/c is very creamy & smooth, but a bit too sweet for my taste. The sherbet is great, but also a bit too sweet for me. Then again, where can I find a cold treat that is tasty but ultra-light on the sugar.... (more)

on Judys Book Oct 26, 2005Fosselman's Ice Cream has been in business for a very long time. They're a little cute ice cream shop on Main St. in Alhambra. There was a huge line inside the store, but the ice cream was so infamous, I had to try. The ice... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 27, 2005Fosselman's Ice Cream has some of the best and unique flavors such as Green Tea or any others not typically found at Rite-Aid. The prices are a little high but the friendliness of the workers make up for that. It may be... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 21, 2005Fosselman's is that type of ice cream store you just can't find anymore. The store has been in the family for three generations, and they still make ice cream the way they always have--with fresh ingredients... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2004Fosselman's ice cream is so well-made. I think the flavors are a bit delicate compared to those in other shops, so you'd do better to have one flavor at a time. If you decide to get a sundae or banana split, you'll find... (more)

on Citysearch May 28, 2004I stop here every time I have my car tuned up. The quality of the ice cream is excellent, and I'm a sucker for blueberry. I don't know of anyone else who carries this flavor. If you're looking for an exotic flavor, and made... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 04, 2003For the BEST, you have to travel to Bert&Rocky's or Dr. Bob's (both in Upland), but Fosselman's hits the spot closer to L.A. My favorite is the hawaiian-white coconutty MACAPUNO, but chocolate diehards will want... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 01, 2003They make the best ice cream whether you eat it there or take a half gallon home with you. The sorbet is great, too. It is full of flavor, not like some of that frozen sugar water you can buy in the grocery store.... (more)

on Citysearch May 30, 2003Fosselmans has a store in Alhambra, and is sold in some other places. Double Rainbow has 2 stores; one in Van Nuys, and one on Melrose in Hollywood. I would rate Double Rainbow slightly higher, and you can get it at... (more)
