Best Ice Cream in Sawtelle Japantown
Master Critic Review
Mashti Malone's Ice Cream (Westwood)
8.3
Persian ice cream with floral and herbal notes that feel old-world but totally L.A., plus faloodeh for a chilly, noodle-laced contrast. Flavors are bold yet controlled, and the shop is a cozy stop on Westwood Boulevard.
Must-Try Dishes:
Saffron Rose Pistachio, Faloodeh, Herbal Snow
