Siciliano's Frozen Custard — Restaurant in Hollywood

My family and I have been coming here for the last four years. It’s part of our family game night weekly. We have three teenage boys and when our 15 year old finally turned 16 he was so excited to apply here. We notice they are always hiring because Just a couple weeks ago the MANAGER offered my niece a job on the spot and she’s 15 (too young to work) So my son went in today to ask for an application he was told they were not hiring so he comes back to the car. With all the help wanted signs I was confused so I went to ask. I approached the manager and asked her just that, she stated she was in the back. She said let me “see your son” I told her can I have an application so he can fill out and bring back to you she said “no” that she needs to see him first. These were her exact words! I said excuse me you’re refusing me an application because you need to see him first. I told her that sounds very much like discrimination to me! She proceeded to tell me she is not discriminating but she is hiring a certain kind of people. Again discrimination! Then she said well can I see him so I can ask him questions. At this point there’s no need for my child to come back in here and be questioned by a true unprofessional. She said I cannot learn about him through his mother , which I completely understand that’s why he came in alone at first but at this point I called her out on how unprofessional he she handled it and she proceeded to tell me she’s not discriminating because she is black. I’m sorry but the last time I checked discrimination doesn’t only apply to one race. I told her the next time someone asked for an application the right thing to do is give him the application, let them fill it out, review the application, and if you feel this person is not the right candidate then that person will not get a call back. That’s how it works and always has! I told her he has been so excited to fill out an application here and let him at least have that experience. she said would you rather me lie to you and waste your time if we’re not going to hire him. She begin to tell me that I’m taking it personal and I shouldn’t. When her daughter is working there, of course I’m going to take it personal when you’re refusing my son and discriminating him. I am a professional, a business owner and I know how the hiring process works this lady claims she’s 48 years old and has experience obviously it doesn’t show. From staff management to all the bad customer service reviews. She then asked me if he was in high school, At this point it didn’t matter but I told her yes and then she said well we’re not hiring high school students. I told her just last week you were hiring my niece who is a high school student. She said we were hiring students, not anymore. Mind you, my niece is black. My step children are black. My son is Hispanic and he’s the only one they said no to. She said she never refused me an application but if that was the truth I would have had an application in my hand and out of the shop instead I am sitting there trying to teach her how to do her job. No matter how much this women claims to know and be experience she lacks the basic customer service needs to run any establishment. No way this lady is suitable to manage anyone let alone my child. This owner cares anything about his business from all the bad reviews to this he would make it change. 48 years old and has so much self improvement to do I hope...

I WISH I was joking about the experience i’m about to write about because what even😭

Let me start off by saying I got a small vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. Delicious! No complaints there.

To set the scene, I was wearing eyeliner, a dark red lip, and dark casual clothes. I had a rose quartz, a hematite, an amethyst, and black tourmaline beaded crystal bracelets. Unfortunately, this is important.

We walk in at like 10pm a few days ago, and the lady at the register starts asking me questions. “Are you goth?” I wouldn’t consider myself that, no. “But you are spiritual right?” I said oh yeah I am! how did you know? and she tells me it’s because i’m wearing “spiritual bracelets”, which was a few different types of crystal beaded bracelets as I mentioned earlier, one of which had a small pentagram charm. Then she asks “so you believe in god right?”, to which I reply “oh, no I don’t believe in any god actually!”

Mind you, the conversation has been very friendly so far and I love hearing about people’s beliefs. Then she tells me “so you are not spiritual. If you are spiritual, then you have to believe in god”. Now, I know this is not true because spiritually covers an extremely vast array of beliefs; my spirituality can very easily be different than my also spiritual neighbor’s beliefs. After telling her no I don’t believe in any gods, she says “if you don’t believe in god, then you believe in the devil.” At this point, I really want to leave because obviously this conversation doesn’t involve me being heard, but SHE IS HOLDING MY BOYFRIEND’S CREDIT CARD STILL!! I tell her no, I don’t believe in any of that, I have my own set of beliefs. Then she tells me that I don’t know about what i’m wearing because I have a “jewish star” on my bracelets. My boyfriend chimes in and corrects her and tells her that it’s a pentagram on my bracelet, the star of David has 6 points.

It’s not over yet. Then she tells me that ALL spiritual people believe in a higher being and that includes the universe. And I, trying to avoid confrontation and trying to steer this conversation so I am less uncomfortable, say “oh yeah I believe in stuff like the universe”, and she says “SO you believe in god because the universe is a higher being and is god”. Then she says that she’s not religious but she is spiritual… and no, I didn’t ask

At this point, my social anxiety is through the roof, my patience is low, and my boyfriend finally has his credit card in hand again. I say “you know what, I will look into that”. You think it’s done, but no. She has to have the last comment and say “yeah because you can’t go around wearing stuff if you don’t know what it means girl!”

Like…. absolutely unreal experience 😭 I cannot make this up. Keep your “spiritual bracelets” and dark red lipstick at home...

Siciliano's Frozen Custard offers a delightful indulgence into the world of frozen treats, and my recent experience with their chocolate ice cream was nothing short of heavenly.

From the moment I took my first spoonful, I was captivated by the rich, velvety texture that immediately signaled the high quality of their custard. The chocolate flavor was pure bliss, boasting a perfect balance between sweetness and deep cocoa notes. It wasn't overly sugary, allowing the true essence of the chocolate to shine through, making each bite a decadent experience.

What sets Siciliano's apart is not just the exceptional taste but also the texture. The creaminess of their custard was unparalleled, making it feel like a luxurious treat that melts smoothly on the palate. It's evident that they prioritize using premium ingredients and employ expertise in crafting their frozen delights.

The service was also noteworthy. The staff was friendly, eager to offer recommendations, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

While I specifically tried the chocolate ice cream, I'm inclined to explore their other flavors given the exceptional quality of their custard. Siciliano's Frozen Custard is undoubtedly a must-visit for any frozen treat enthusiast seeking an elevated and unforgettable ice...
