We went on a late night ice cream treat and wanted to try something new. This shop did not disappoint. This is the place to go. It's absolutely delicious. I can't stop thinking about it. The staff matches the ice cream. She was sweet and welcoming. Try the waffle with the ice cream. My daughter gobbled it down and after finishing it said, "I'm coming back".

This afternoon I enjoyed my first time at London Ice Cream Shop in Riverside! The young man who served me was kind and efficient. The place is cute as heck & filled with my favorite color- PINK! AND the Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream I had today was awesome- and my new favorite flavor. I’ll definitely be back!
