🇺🇸 LA’s Coolest Asian-Inspired Ice Cream Spot! 🍦✨

If you’ve explored local pop-ups or night markets around SoCal, you’ve probably heard of 626 Ice Cream — the creative gem named after the SGV area code! 🗺️ I’d tried their unique flavors at events before, but their previous 7 PM–late opening hours just didn’t work for me (I live way too far 😅). Luckily, they recently added weekend hours from 1–4 PM — finally got to visit and it was worth the trip! Founded with a mission to bring people together through food, 626 Ice Cream is more than just a dessert shop — it’s a community hub blending Asian heritage with modern Cali vibes. Think of it like the new wave of AAPI-owned spots in Chinatown or those fresh Asian-led shows in Hollywood — young, proud, and full of flavor! 🎬 Their focus isn’t just on ice cream — it’s on hospitality: treating customers, team, and community with genuine care. 🍨 Flavor Inspo & Toppings: Drawing from childhood memories and Asian tastes, they rotate flavors like: Yakult Soft Serve Mango Calamansi Lychee Strawberry Brown Sugar Vanilla Ube Vanilla Hojicha Black Sesame …with fun toppings like crispy rice crackers, mochi, chamoy gummies, and more! 🍶 Must-Try Limited Edition: Sake Kasu Ice Cream — made from sake lees (leftover from brewing), with a rich, fermented dairy flavor and subtle umami notes. A truly unique experience! Whether you’ve had their scoops at a fair or not — their store is a whole vibe worth tasting. 📍 626 Ice Cream 160 E Duarte Rd STE E, Arcadia, CA 91006 ⏰ Check hours before you go — they’re specific! #626IceCream #AsianFlavors #SGV #ArcadiaEats #IceCreamLovers #CreativeDesserts #CommunityVibes #SakeKasu #LocalSpot #LAFoodScene 🥭🍡
