Paradis

Very good ice cream spot on 2^nd St! The employees here are extremely nice and always happy to let you sample the different flavors. My favorites are the peanut butter chocolate chip and almond crunch. Of course the cookies and cream, traditional vanilla bean, and pretty much everything else is very good! The ice cream has perfect texture — creamy and not icy at all! It is not overly sweet and is made with quality ingredients.
My only wish is that the size of the scoop is not so consistent. Sometimes the double scoop seems like a single scoop :-(. Or maybe it’s just so good that I eat it too fast and it seems to be like one scoop!

They let you sample some flavors so you can never say you expected better… I mean it. My gf and I love stopping by on mini dates for a scoop or two and we walk down second street happy as two fat kids. It’s pricey but I’ve always been happy with my picks. I’ve never had issues with the service.

Yummmmmmmy.
Got lemon sorbet which was so delicious, haven’t had that good in a long time. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes lemon.
If you get the small they give you two scoops so my second choice was ferrero rocher which was absolutely delicious and tasted exactly like the chocolate. I mean creamy and crunchy, honestly a great choice.
All ice cream or fro yo is homemade and they have non dairy options. They also have a calorie count up if you’re watching for that. They have their own topping merchandise for separate purchase should you wish.
There is indoor seating and a TV as well. Will certainly be coming back.

This ice cream is really good if you are looking for something light and delicious to eat. This is the first time that I tried this place and it was fantastic.
Their ice cream is more like a gelato, where it’s creamy but it melts quicker than normal, which makes it smooth. Their selection is good and their staff is very friendly. I just wished that they were a little more heavy handed with the «sundaes» that they make because I got a single scoop that looked to be the same amount of ice cream that my friend had in her whole sundae.

Really good home made ice cream here. Tried a few then got the danish way, which is 4 scoops in a cup for around $ 6.
Ended up choosing Oreo, coffee chocolate, sea salt caramel, and stracciatella (not sure of spelling). Those flavors all go really well together if you mix them. The Oreo though was by far the best. It just tasted like straight up Oreos despite its brown coloring (not sure if there’s chocolate on it too). But it’s one of the best I’ve had. The coffee one was also great so the two put together was yum!
Guy working was super chill and had an awesome beard.

My first impression was, «Cute, bright-​themed, and unique ‘love boxes’ are perfect for old and young ice cream lovers!»
We chose this spot for dessert after dinner on 2^nd Street and got the big love box with 10 different flavors of ice cream. Lots of good and unique flavors like chai tea and ferrero rocher. My favorites were the lemon sorbet and fresh strawberry which taste all natural and like the real fruit instead of syrup and sugar. $ 20 love box is worth it to share with a group of friends so that you can try all their flavors in one visit. Plenty of seating and a great walkable dessert spot near the busy downtown Long Beach.
The lasting impression? «Fresh, natural, and unique flavors worth trying!»

Very good ice cream, normally my go to ice cream is chocolate or rocky road but this place has really excellent salted caramel. I could taste and creamy carmely salty taste and I like that you can get sampler. You get six scoops of ice cream of your choice. They place in a six compartment styrofoam box. It’s great on the go and get a variety of ice cream.

My friend and I stopped by this place on a whim because we wanted some dessert to go with dinner. Parking here can be a real hassle, especially because we went on a Friday night. So we decided for the sake of good ice cream to just throw caution to the wind and parked haphazardly in a lot somewhere in the back and cross our fingers.
And boy was that ice cream worth it! I got the sea salt caramel and it was amazingly soft and rich with just the right amount of sweetness and saltiness. I would pick this any day over the fancy nitrogen made ones. It is easily one of the best I’ve had. We were super antsy about our car getting towed though so we didn’t stay too long to enjoy the nice vibe of the small shop. It’s not too bright, just dimly lit by some neon signs and other décor. Not a long of seating inside, but we managed to get one to quickly enjoy our ice cream. And then we booked it lol.
I will have to return here to try the other flavors, especially the strawberry sorbet that my friend got. Will be sure to avoid Friday nights though.

After dinner, my friend and I decided to give this place a try since we sat in traffic for about an hour, had to make the trip worth it right lol. First off its in downtown Long Beach so parking was extremely tough. I ended up parking and blocking a couple of cars on my way to enjoy what was a very delicious ice cream treat.
Since my friend and I were extremely nervous about my car getting towed we had to make this ice cream trip really really quick. She ordered a sea salt caramel? I think and she told me it was super delicious (I trust her review on it). I had the strawberry sorbet, easily one of the best I’ve ever had. We both got ours in a sugar cone because it just looks better lol. Upon being presented our treats I decided I must sit to enjoy such a nice looking ice cream cone, so we sat while my car was all parked there lol. I quickly ate my ice cream cone or rather I devoured it and we rushed to my car just in the nick of time as a lady was getting ready to leave.
I love the texture of the ice cream. It really was amazing in both taste and texture. The cone itself was delicious too. Service was really friendly and quick. The décor was lovely. I will definitely return here. Its one of the better ice cream shops I’ve been to. If only parking was a breeze.
PS as we hop in our car and drove off, there was a parking spot that we didn’t see… epic fail on my part sigh LOL.

Wow!!! So pricy!!! Child size scoop is nearly $ 5!!! My gosh…
I had a salted caramel gelato… not as salted caramelish… very buttery…
But Lemon sorbet my son got was vey tart and tangy, just the way i like it!
I also got Ice Cream Latte w Coffee w Chocolate ice cream, but it wasn’t as good as i expected it… maybe affogato would have been a better choice…
One other thing… i really dislike their logo. As a designer, it is just too hard to see an ugly logo on a store that should have an awesome and trendy logo… tsk tsk tsk…

If you’re looking for a good sorbet, check this place out. Of course, they have ice cream as well.
Their lemon, strawberry, and cantaloupe is delicious, let alone refreshing! I have to say my favorite is the lemon as its tart, yet slightly sweet, and definitely a good palate cleanser.
I usually get the small size as it allows you to have 2 flavors. But if you’re looking to spoil someone, they also have a love box which allows you to get 6 scoops of whatever flavor in a square box. Similar concept like a box of chocolate.
Don’t overlook this place when you’re on 2^nd street in Belmont shore!

5 million stars for some of the best ice cream I have had in awhile.
Chocolate caramel peanut butter, does one really need anything else to be happy?
It was just as good as it sounds and full of all 3 flavors in each bite.
Prices are high at $ 5 a scoop, but the ice cream is so rich and decadent i will let it slide.
Service was also fantastic, the two guys working were super sweet and fun.
The store is tiny and more of a to go place, but clean and airy.
I can’t wait to be back for more, everything they had sounded and looked amazing!

Scandinavian ice cream– wowie! I guess I have to come try this (my excuse besides the fact that it was a super hot day). When my friend and I walked in, we saw the two staff crouched down and texting behind the counter. They both stood up and greeted us nicely, but I thought the before part was a little funny and awkward. :P
I got the kid size ferrero rocher ice cream in a cone which was just the right amount for me, not to mention adorable. The ice cream looks and tastes like soft gelato, and the flavor was on point. It even had chunks of the chocolate mixed inside! The cone tasted super cheap though, oh well. They also give you a full cup of ice water if you ask for it!
Later, some families came to get ice cream too (by the way, the window is great for people watching… jk, but it passes time) The thing that bothered me the most was that one of the employees was wearing a shirt with inappropriate words in front of the little kids. Don’t ruin it for them!):

This place is great. Freshly made ice cream and so soft to the bite. If anyone has ever had McConnells icecream, Paradis is way better. The flavors are so unique. They let you sample as many as you want. I got the Ferrero Rocher and the Caramel almond crunch. It was $ 5 for two scoops.
Try this place and you won’t regret it! It’s located on 2^nd street so you would have to find parking on the side street or neighborhood.

Decent ice cream, nice staff, cute décor, and iceboxes to go. Paradis was a nice little stop during our post-​dinner stroll. We managed to catch happy hour, which was 10p-​11p, offering $ 2 single scoops (and other deals). I found the cream based flavors to have more depth than the fruit ones and liked my husband’s vanilla bean more than my strawberry. I personally would prefer a tad more richness to my ice cream. Paradis also offer a styrofoam container, or lovebox, with which to take home scoops of ice cream (yay for multiple flavors!).
Nice little place to grab a cold treat.

You know you love desserts when you walk 3 miles round trip to get ice cream because it’s street cleaning the next day and you don’t want to lose your spot! It’s also a great excuse to say hey, I worked out, I deserve it!
When I got there, there was no one there, but apparently I started a trend or something because just as I was trying all my samples, many groups of people decided to flood in. After trying a few samples, I ended up getting the ferrero rocher… YUM! It had a very creamy and smooth vanilla with stripes of chocolate hazelnut and actually hazelnuts embedded into the ice cream. Each bite was smooth and crunchy and had a delicious texture. I’m definitely sold on ice cream that’s house made!

When I was in the Long Beach area, I Unilocaled «ice cream» and decided to come here because this place looked pretty promising. Unfortunately, this place does not cut it at all for an ice cream fanatic like me :(
I C E C R E A M:
This place definitely offers a wide variety of pretty cool flavors – I got the Orange Buttermilk and my friend got the Ferrero Rocher. There were so many flavors that my friend and I almost sampled everything just to make sure we left with our favorite one. Despite the flavor selection, I thought the quality of the ice cream itself was pretty disappointing as it was neither creamy nor flavorful.
P A R K I N G:
There is abundant street parking along this road (it’s filled with restaurants).

Craving for gelato ice cream and we happen to be around the area, decided to check this place out.
Ordered a medium sized cup of ice cream with 1 scoop of strawberry sorbet and 1 scoop of chocolate gelato for $ 5.40. Gelato was average, taste more like ice cream instead of gelato. Sorbet was refreshing. Overall, wasn’t impressed but it’s good enough to satisfy my cravings for that day.

Best homemade ice cream in town!!! Fresh homemade ice cream with fresh ingredients and milk made daily. This company is quite popular in Denmark with 40 locations. They decided to go global and expand to the US market. Their goal is to deliver the freshest ice cream with the lowest calories. I have to applaud because that they met my expectations. I had the coffee with chocolate ice cream. I didn’t taste much of the coffee though. More of a light chocolate which wasn’t too sweet and rich. So it was perfect and just how I liked it.
The staff were friendly and welcomed you right when you walked in. They served and rang you up right away as well. You can enjoy your ice cream in a cup or waffle cone. There is plenty of sitting outdoors and indoors.
I would recommend grabbing a scoop if you are in the Belmont shore area while you’re walking down the area on a nice summer day. Sweets always turns the frown away! Happy national ice cream day!!! Enjoy!!!

It’s true, my weakness is ice cream
Last time I came in here was with my sister. After viewing and sampling a few of their different options I went with the Ferraro Rocher and Oreo in a medium cup. The Ferraro Rocher tasted exactly like the candy. It contained chocolate ice cream that was filled with creamy hazelnut and chocolate syrup. It went well with the oreo ice cream. The consistancy was perfect. It wasn’t runny and was smooth. They weren’t too creamy compared to other ice cream shops but still very good. Both also weren’t too sweet. They were both yummy and the medium size was best.
For a medium, it was $ 5. The small is teeny tiny. If you get a small you can only get one option. For the medium, you get the option of two. Other flavors include sorbet options, pineapple, salted caramel, pistachio, cheesecake, mint, licorice, and even banana. The guy who scooped our ice cream was extra friendly. The inside of the place is pretty small. There are only about two tiny tables. There’s a small TV inside and some newspapers to read. We can’t wait to come back.
