Mashti Malone's — Restaurant in Los Angeles

In Short, Lotsa Hype. Tried it. Meh. Back to the regulars. It was overpriced and not worth the hype and not worth the emotional strain being in that store.

With a few more details, We heard so much about this place so we wanted to try it. I am big on orange blossom and Rose flavors so this was going to be a great experience I thought. Well, I was wrong. As soon as we walked in, we felt unwelcome. The lady working that day had no capacity for customer service and no energy to answer any questions. She was mad about something and not easy to talk to. The only thing that she said was that sampling was limited to 2 flavors and then you gotta choose what you want. It was not good. My wife wanted to leave at that point but we were a group of 6 and I had promised my kid ice cream. We wanted date ice cream but the tub was almost empty. There was another one in the next fridge. The lady said we can’t use that one bec it was just found and she was unsure of it. Instead she gave us slush from the empty tub and charged us as if it was a scoop. Then proceeded to give me the wrong flavors that I chose and when I told her that’s not what I wanted she was not friendly to the idea of changing it out. All in all we got what we could of the overpriced, miserable and unwelcoming ice cream and got the hell outta there. I’m not going back there and I do not recommend you go...

"The Malone" / honey rosewater pastry with lavender and saffron rosewater with pistachio ice cream - 5 🌟!

Mashti Malone's is a hidden gem hiding in plain sight. They have been an LA Hollywood ice cream shop serving distinct, unique flavors long before most other places even opened up. Their flavor selection will look exotic to a westerner like me but not at all strange to their middle eastern guests.

Apparently lavender is like vanilla in some areas of the world. The Mashti Malone lavender does not shy away from leaning into the distinct, flowery taste. The rosewater is more subtle but still very nice and has little pieces of pistachio throughout.

They have three unique sundae style offerings that come with a middle eastern pastry. I went with the Malone which is sort of like a big, sticky, honey flavored cookie. It is too hard to cut into it with the plastic spoon which was not a problem for me.

Overall, a great place that some folks will likely never know is there since they tend to fly a bit under the radar. But if you are an ice cream fan and enjoy new flavors,...
