September 5, 2024
There’s nothing like Los Angeles summer to turn up the heat – and few things hit better on a hot day than some world-famous gelato. Of course, everyone has strong opinions about the most popular ice cream flavors. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, exploring these top five gelato options will add some LA charm to your day.

The Classics

#1 Rocky Road

What could be better than the smooth, crunchy, and chewy mix of chocolate, nuts, and marshmallows? Rocky Road offers a heavenly balance of taste and texture, making it a timeless favorite in the City of Angels.

But there’s another gelato flavor alternative. Anita’s Black Forest is simply irresistible. With its rum-flavored gelato base, caramelized hazelnuts, rich hazelnut chocolate cream, and mixed berry jam, it captures the essence of Rocky Road’s chocolatey, nutty goodness – and it’s just as delicious.

#2 Chocolate

Across the United States, vanilla is generally more popular, but not in California! Here, chocolate scoops up second place with its classic charm.

And nothing beats a classic, whether you’re a fan of the dairy milk chocolate or craving our next-level Salted Chocolate. White chocolate is great for the more adventurous palate, as it’s the perfect complement to everything from pretzels to pistachio.

#3 Strawberry

When the sun’s out, it’s time for a pop of fruity freshness, and that means it’s time for strawberry sorbet. It’s hardly a surprise that this is one of the city’s favorite ice cream flavors – California’s farmers grow some of the juiciest fruit in the nation! Go traditional with this one, or try our Strawberry Mascarpone & Ricotta for that extra burst of flavor.

The Trendsetters

#4 Mango

This sweet and creamy tropical fruit lends itself perfectly to the medium of frozen desserts, and it’s one of the best ice cream flavors in the city. Go with the original, or add a little extra zing with our Limoncello sorbet.

#5 Matcha Green Tea

Nobody loves health trends quite like Los Angeles, so it makes sense that Matcha Green Tea makes the top-five list. Its earthy flavor makes for a perfectly balanced scoop, balancing the sweetness of your favorite frozen treat.

If the idea of Matcha has you inspired for something a little healthier, you could try Anita’s Coconut Sorbet. This creamy delight is made with real coconut milk and coconut pieces. It’s a refreshing choice that feels indulgent without the guilt!
