Dessert
I’m so glad I stopped…
Fosselman’s Ice Cream Co., Alhambra
You know when you drive by a place and you have the sudden urge to make a quick u-turn into the place?
That’s what happened to me the other day. I was on my way to watch the Big (yet very disappointing) Game at my friend’s place in Alhambra when all of a sudden, I saw a familiar sign in front of me.
In a quick moment, comments from my la.foodblogging friends came to mind. They were telling me that I needed to stop and go in. And then it hit me.
Ice Cream Company
I parked in their small side lot that accommodates only a select few and walked inside with great anticipation. Since I’m a sucker for all things sweet and could never pass on dessert, I couldn’t wait for a refreshingly cool scoop of ice cream! In fact, I ended up with TWO scoops in my waffle cone. I opted for one of my favorite flavors, Lychee, and it was just as I thought it would be: Sweet, creamy, delicious. But I’ve got to say that Lychee’s probably not the best kind of ice cream to have in a waffle cone. In the end though, I didn’t let that stop me from munching it all down.
I also picked up this tub of Mango Sorbet for the rest of the party. Tart and tangy, it packed quite the fruity punch. Not my favorite, but worth a taste nonetheless. I think next time, I’ll just stick with the Lychee.

Did the same thing after visiting Triumphal Palace for dim sum even though I was stuffed. The Black Walnut had a true, fresh walnut flavor and the ice cream was absolutely filled with butter cream. Excellent!
Does anybody know if Soda Jerks in Pasadena reopened? I would love some Fosselman’s that’s a little closer to home. (Not saying that I don’t already make the drive…)
Ooo…I’ll have to try the Black Walnut next time for sure! Ahh…I’m still working on my Triumphal Palace post! =) Not sure about Soda Jerks as Pasadena’s not really my neighborhood. After doing a Google search, it looks like they’re still looking for another location? Anyone out there know?
We thought of going to Soda Jerks on our anniversary since we went there on our first date, but unfortunately they haven’t found a new location yet. We went to Fosselman’s to split a sundae instead. Their vanilla is really, really good!
#1 milkshakes anywhere, and I mean anywhere. You can not beat the shakes, at any price. My favorite is the 1/2 cookie dough and 1/2 dark chocolate shake with chocolate syrup. It’s amazing!
Fosselman’s is my favorite ice cream ever. I’ve been going there since I was a child, with my dad, who also grew up going there! My favorites are peppermint or the fresh peach (when it’s in season), but they’re all delicious.
