#anyway. this one is Not based in the 70s like maple taffy is

[ghcstao3]

street photographer ghost who has mastered taking the perfect candid photos without ever getting caught. he just has an eye for subjects, both mundane and unique in style, and he enjoys his work. it's just that simple.

soap is one of those subjects. there's something naturally captivating about him, the way he carries himself and seemingly bends the world to his will all around him, and ghost wastes no second doing what he does best—candids that frame their subject like they're the centre of the universe even when any other passerby might blink and miss those singular moments.

except—as ghost snaps a few more photos and briefly glances at the raw images, he sees that the man he'd been taking pictures of is looking directly down the barrel of the lens by the end of the set of photos, a grin on his face, hand blurred in a wave in the frozen frames ghost had captured.

when he puts the camera down, he sees the man still waving at him from across the street before he's quickly glancing both ways and jogging across to meet ghost.

"almost didn't see you," he breathes.

ghost bites back a that's the point, instead focusing on carefully tucking his camera back into its bag.

"i'm sorry," ghost eventually apologizes. "i'll delete them if—"

"the opposite, actually," the man cuts in. "i wanted to see them."

ghost tenses. the rare times he's been caught out usually don't... result in this. "really?"

"mhm." another bright grin. "i'm soap, by the way. or—john, if you're lookin' to be all formal like."

pulling his camera back out, ghost cocks an eyebrow. "soap?"

soap shakes his head. "don't worry about it." he winks. "unless we meet again."

ghost snorts. captivating had certainly been the right word to describe soap.

"why don't we see if you even like the photos first, yeah?"

The Best Ice Cream In Los Angeles added to Google Docs

The Best Ice Cream In Los Angeles

It’s been a long, trying year, but the weather is finally heating up again - and that means ice cream season is upon us. The good news? LA is absolutely stacked with incredible, socially distant ice cream shops, so there’s no excuse to be stuck to your couch next to an expired pint of bad grocery store ice cream. Which is why, after extensive scientific analysis (eating a bunch of it all at once), we’ve complied a list of our 25 favorite spots - all of which are available for either pick-up or delivery. From classic 100-year-old institutions to Italian restaurants selling ice cream by the pint, here are all the places you need to be eating ice cream from in LA right now.

the spots  Holly Liss Salt & Straw $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Larchmont $$$$ 240 N. Larchmont Blvd.

Thank you, Portland - and not just for Mom-tifa. You’ve also given us the best ice cream in all of LA. You’d probably assume a place with flavors like avocado sherbet and black olive brittle with goat cheese wouldn’t be for everyone, but you’d be wrong. Because Salt & Straw adds stuff you should never put in ice cream, and somehow still makes it better than any ice cream you’ve ever had before. Now, with locations from the Arts District to Venice, you’re never too far away from its glory. Both takeout and delivery are available at all locations.

 Jakob Layman Antico $ $ $ $ Pasta ,  Italian  in  Koreatown ,  Larchmont $$$$ 4653 Beverly Blvd

Antico is a very good Italian restaurant on Beverly Blvd with even better ice cream. In fact, it’s some of our favorite in the city. And right now, every flavor is available by the pint for takeout and delivery. Ranging from orange cookies to honeycomb, it’s impossible to choose a wrong flavor at Antico, but that said, the Harry’s Berries strawberry is an absolute must.

Saffron & Rose Ice Cream $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Westwood $$$$ 1385 Westwood Blvd

Saffron & Rose is one of the largest brands of Persian ice cream in America and can be found in markets nationwide, but nothing beats a visit to its original location in Westwood. Located just south of Wilshire in Little Tehran, the tiny shop has been cranking out thick, Persian-style ice cream for almost four decades and still has (socially distant) lines out the door. Almost everybody is eating the saffron and pistachio flavor, but we never leave without getting at least one scoop of the orange blossom as well. Available for both takeout and delivery.

 Carla Choy Pops Artisanal Creamery $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Burbank $$$$ 450 N Maclay Ave.

Pops is located in San Fernando, which, according to our ice cream GPS, is about 15 minutes north of Burbank. (They also have a location in Van Nuys, but why ruin a perfectly good intro?) Anyway, the family running Pops is from Belize, and they’ve integrated Latin American flavors into the majority of their ice cream - and the result is out of this world. There’s the insanely sweet zapote, the nut-flavored lucuma, and a coconut ice cream we want to fall asleep next to every night. Skip the cone and cup, and put it all in a hollowed out half-coconut husk to make your friends even more jealous they still haven’t come here. Takeout and delivery are available here.

 Carla Choy Fosselman's Ice Cream Co. $ $ $ $ Dessert $$$$ 1824 W Main St

Greetings from the grandaddy of all LA ice cream. Established in 1919, Fosselman’s is the definition of a classic, and if you haven’t made the pilgrimage out to Alhambra at least once, you can’t really say you know LA ice cream. Now, just because a place is old, doesn’t mean it’s good, but at Fosselman’s, it’s both. This is the kind of creamy, old-school ice cream you crave when you’re home with the sniffles and plowing through a season of Law & Order you’ve already watched. Available for both takeout and delivery.

 Carla Choy Honeymee $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Sawtelle Japantown $$$$ 11301 W Olympic Blvd Ste 104

Honeymee proves that good ice cream doesn’t have to involve crazy flavors and a drunk toddler’s choice of candy dumped on top. Here, it’s all about two things: vanilla ice cream and honey. And when both of those are as good as they are at Honeymee, you don’t need anything else. It’s simple, fresh, and light enough to not leave you in a late-night dairy coma. The place is all over the suburbs, and it’s starting to sprout up around LA proper, too - so now you have even more opportunities to get the honey-covered Sweetie with added honeycomb. Available for takeout and delivery.

 Carla Choy Sweet Rose Creamery $$$$ 225 26th St

Sweet Rose Creamery opened in Santa Monica in 2010 and instantly became one of LA’s best. You can stick to their classic flavors, like salted caramel and (easily) our favorite mint chocolate in the city, but the move at Sweet Rose is to try at least one of the daily specials. Flavors change with the seasons (and are legitimately based off what they find at the local farmer’s market) so expect things like rose geranium, ginger, and lemon. Also, all the toppings are made in-house and you should definitely be taking advantage of as many as possible. Takeout and delivery are available on most major platforms, or call [phone] to pre-order.

 Carla Choy Mashti Malone's $ $ $ $ $$$$ 1525 N LA Brea Ave

Mashti Malone’s is another LA institution, serving Persian-style ice cream in the heart of Hollywood for almost 40 years. The menu is large, with nearly 50 different flavors served on any given day, but what makes this tiny shop so special are its fragrant flavors that stay on your tongue all afternoon. Think ginger rosewater, saffron, and roasted pistachio-infused heaven. There is an almost perfume-like quality to the ice cream here that, at first, might take some people by surprise at first, but then you’ll realize you never want another kind of ice cream again. Available for takeout and delivery.

 Van Leeuwen / Facebook Van Leeuwen $ $ $ $ $$$$ 300 S Santa Fe Ave

Van Leeuwen is big-deal ice cream in their native NYC, and they’ve started taking over LA too, with trucks and stores spanning from the Arts District to El Segundo. Flavors don’t get too wild, but there are enough rotating special flavors to keep things exciting, and the classics are excellent (their plain chocolate is maybe the best we’ve ever had). The earl grey tea and honeycomb are our go-to’s, and if you see the lemon meringue yogurt tart in the case, do not hesitate. And for non-dairy eaters, Van Leeuwen also makes fantastic vegan ice cream, too - the coconut cream base isn’t too overpowering, but it’s just as creamy as the dairy-filled original. For local delivery, click here.

 Jakob Layman Angelini Alimentari $ $ $ $ Sandwiches ,  Cafe/Bakery ,  Dessert  in  Beverly Grove $$$$ 7317 Beverly Boulevard

The all-day offshoot of the truffle pasta shrine that is Angelini Osteria, Alimentari is a great spot for a quick, casual breakfast or lunch on their front sidewalk patio. However, if you come here without getting at least one scoop of their gelato, you’re living a lesser existence. Made in-house daily, this is hands-down our favorite gelato in the city. Flavors change often, so don’t get too attached - but the good news is every flavor is good. Power move: Skip the cup and get it served all on brioche for the gelato sandwich of your dreams. For curbside pickup, call [phone] or delivery is available on most major platforms.

 Carla Choy Magpies Softserve $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Silver Lake $$$$ 2660 Griffith Park Blvd

Magpies is one of the most popular ice cream shops in the city right now. And for good reason - this Silver Lake strip mall spot is making the best soft serve you can find on the Eastside (they have a location in Tarzana as well). Lines are still pretty long on the weekends, so just do what we do and pre-order in advance. If it’s your first time, order their signature sweetened cream, and then get involved with their daily flavors (like maple French toast) on return visits. And don’t worry, you will certainly be returning. Delivery is also available.

 Krystal Thompson Le Mirage Pastry $ $ $ $ Cafe/Bakery ,  Ice Cream ,  Syrian  in  Anaheim $$$$ 100 S Brookhurst St

Yes, this place is in Anaheim, but trust us when we say Le Mirage Pastry is worth the drive. Located in the heart of Little Arabia, this iconic bakery is filled with every type of pastry, cake, tart, and cookie you could want - and it’s all very good. The problem is, we always just end up getting the bouza. The taffy-like Syrian ice cream is thick, gooey, and delicious, and modeled after the same ice cream the owner grew up eating in Damascus. It’s an incredibly special dessert and one that should be added immediately to your LA ice cream Rolodex. Call [phone] for takeout.

 Benji Dell McConnell's Fine Ice Creams $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Downtown LA $$$$ 317 S Broadway

This Santa Barbara original has been making ice cream for 70 years, and it shows. They know their way around the classics (the vanilla bean is a real best in show), but also make fancier flavors like boysenberry rosé milk jam. Their locations in Grand Central Market, Studio City, and Pacific Palisades are all doing takeout and delivery as well as nationwide shipping. Always get the Turkish Coffee.

 Carla Choy Diddy Riese $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Westwood $$$$ 926 Broxton Ave

If you’ve been on the internet at least once in the last five years, you’ve probably noticed that people get excited about ice cream cookie sandwiches. But decades before people started taking photos of themselves eating (but not really eating) dessert, there was Diddy Riese. The Westwood classic has been around for more than 35 years, and even though you can get a solid ice cream cookie sandwich anywhere these days, this LA original will always be worth the pilgrimage. For delivery and in-store pickup, click here.

 Benji Dell Mikawaya $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Downtown LA ,  Little Tokyo $$$$ 118 Japanese Village Plaza Mall

Lost in the crazy ice cream world of bright colors and bizarrely shaped cones on social media is mochi, the very unflashy Japanese-style ice cream dough balls. Many places have attempted to replicate the little dessert babies over the years (we see you Trader Joe’s), but the original creator is Mikawaya. The LA-based Japanese dessert shop has been open since 1910, and its current Little Tokyo store is a necessary pit stop for all serious ice cream fans. Our go-to order tends to be mango, green tea, and strawberry, but at $1.50 a piece, feel free to try them all. Call [phone] to pre-order.

 Jeni's / Facebook Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams $ $ $ $ Venice $$$$ 540 Rose Ave

Rolling into town from Columbus, Ohio, Jeni’s has moved into LA in a big way, with shops in Los Feliz, Larchmont, Calabasas, and Venice. Narrowing down the huge choice of flavors can be more than a little overwhelming, but we’re partial to the brambleberry crisp (even if we don’t know what a brambleberry is) and the darkest chocolate. You can usually try some flavors they’re testing out, if you like feeling like an ice cream lab rat. Which seems like the best kind of lab rat. Delivery is available at all locations.

 Milk Bar LA $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  West Hollywood $$$$ 7150 Melrose Ave

Milk Bar needs little introduction. The New York original is one of the most well-known dessert shops in the country and now has a fully-operational pick-up window right at Melrose and La Brea. While their pies, cookies, and cake truffles are all legendary in their own right, the cereal milk soft serve is equally delicious and everything we want on a hot summer day. It’s only available in-store, so call [phone] to place your order for pick-up.

 Carla Choy Bennett's Homemade Ice Cream $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Beverly Grove $$$$ 6333 W 3rd St

Located inside The Original Farmers Market on Third and Fairfax, Bennett’s is another classic LA establishment and our go-to spot when our Grove parking ramp anxieties have hit unsustainable levels. Serving house-made ice cream since 1946, you can feel confident picking up one of their famous frozen bananas or ice cream sundaes - but for our money, the best thing here is the Cabernet Sauvignon sorbet. You read that right. It’s slightly sweet, incredibly fresh, and legitimately tastes like wine. Call [phone] to pre-order.

Sonny's Amazing Italian Ices & Cremes $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Sherman Oaks $$$$ 15030 Ventura Blvd

On name alone, it’s impossible to dislike this order-at-the-counter dessert shop in Sherman Oaks. Luckily, their excellent Italian ices and ice creams seal the deal. Their menu is broken up into three sections - traditional ice cream, Italian ice, and something they call creme ice. The guy behind the counter explained to us that it’s, “75% less dairy than ice cream, but with the same exact flavor,” and he was telling the truth. It’s like eating regular ice cream, but still feeling like you could go for a jog later... if you’re the kind of psychopath who works out after dessert. Available for both pick-up and delivery.

 Carla Choy Ginger's Divine Ice Cream $ $ $ $ Culver City $$$$ 12550 W Washington Blvd

Ginger’s is a relatively new addition to the LA ice cream scene, but this corner shop in Culver City has become a local favorite thanks to the huge number of flavors, super creamy ice cream, and genuinely good vegan options. They’ve got everything from raspberry panna cotta to Vietnamese coffee, but you’ll probably find it hard to go past the Billionaire Brownie. You can get your ice cream in sandwich form, or you could go the ice cream pop route. Live your truth. In-store pick-up is available for cones, pints, and quarts, as well as jarred sundaes.

 Wanderlust Creamery $ $ $ $ Atwater Village $$$$ 3134 Glendale Blvd

Wanderlust’s schtick is ice cream inspired by countries around the world. What does that look like in your cone? Stuff like olive oil with chocolate-dipped baguette (Catalonia), Thai Tea, pretzel and rye crumbs (Iceland), and their signature purple flavor, Ube malted crunch (Philippines). The whole thing could be stupidly precious, but the ice cream itself is great, and all of their locations are doing both takeout and delivery.

 Carla Choy Midori Matcha Cafe $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Downtown LA ,  Little Tokyo $$$$ 123 Astronaut E S Onizuka St #101-C

If you aren’t putting every dollar you have towards matcha stock at the moment, you need a new financial guy. You can’t escape the green tea powder in LA right now, and while every ice cream store in the city has a matcha flavor on their menu, the absolute best is at Midori Matcha in Little Tokyo. The cafe itself has everything from matcha iced tea to eclair cakes, but the soft serve is why you’re there. It’s creamy and refreshing, and gives you what you need to get through the rest of the day. Available for both takeout and delivery.

 The Coolhaus Shop $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Culver City $$$$ 8588 Washington Blvd

Coolhaus started in 2009 as a humble food truck serving ice cream sandwiches wherever they could get a parking spot. Fast forward to today, and the Coohaus empire is in full force, with trucks in three major cities, a shop in Culver City, and pints that can be found in grocery stores across the country. So what makes these sandwiches so special? The crazy-flavored ice cream. Think mascarpone & fig, coconut negroni, and milkshake & fries. But don’t worry, these aren’t crazy flavors for the sake of being crazy - they taste incredible too. Shipping is available nationwide, but for takeout and delivery from their Culver City shop, order here

Quenelle $ $ $ $ Dessert  in  Burbank $$$$ 2214 W Magnolia Blvd

Located in Burbank, Quenelle is a tiny neighborhood dessert shop and home to some of the best ice cream you’ll find in The Valley. With over 500 original flavors, ordering can be somewhat intimidating, but just know that whatever’s on the menu that day is going to be good. Call [phone] for pick-up, and delivery is available as well.

Thrifty Ice Cream $ $ $ $ $$$$ 6726 W Sunset Blvd.

If you grew up in Los Angeles, you grew up eating Thrifty Ice Cream. (If your parents didn’t take you there, some other kid’s less-responsible parents definitely did.) And while Thrifty might not taste quite as good as it did when you were five, it’s still solid ice cream - and moreover, it’s exhilarating to be able to get a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough at the same time as your mundane Advil/Band-Aid/deodorant errand. That cylindrical scoop shape is straight-up iconic. Available at Rite Aids across the city.
