CVT Soft Serve

CVT's truck travels around town, delivering its unique version of true East coast soft serve to the masses. Why? Because according to them, "frozen yogurt sucks". Offering chocolate, vanilla and twist (a mix of the two), you'll also have your choice of toppings. Cups or cake cones come naked or with your choice of chocolate sprinkles, rainbow sprinkles or sea salt for a few cents more. You can also snag a Coffee Cream--soft serve and Stumptown brew in one cup. Follow the trail on social media to find out where they'll be next, or go big, and book them for a private event.

Known for their delicious breakfast and brunch food, MB Post also offers a tasty dessert menu featuring a rotation of soft serve and toppings that have made the restaurant a must-visit.

Right now, you can order Horchata soft serve with rice pudding and cinnamon caramel, but have no doubt, a new soft serve flavor is on the way.

With endearing menu items like the Darling, Dear, Sweetie, and of course, Honeymee, this LA soft serve spot is known for a ton of buzzworthy treats. The namesake dessert is vanilla soft serve with a glistening honeycomb on top, and you can also get your order with chocolate sauce and sea salt, liquid honey swirls, or plain if you like. You can even order it in a sweet bun. With three shops across L.A. and three more on the way, you'll be able to get your fix no matter where you are around town.

Bob's Freeze
5144 East Beverly Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90022
(323) 263-6659

An East LA favorite, Bob's Freeze has been open for nearly 70 years serving generation after generation with tasty soft serve ice cream. One catch: they keep it real by only serving vanilla. To vary it up, you can get it in old school cake cone, flip and dip in chocolate, or blend up a shake. They also offer a Suicide Float with several flavors of slushies over soft serve.

Pasadena's KindKreme's plant-based soft serve is for the dairy-free crowd, but it's also good enough to appeal to anyone. Offered here is chocolate and coconut, and you can also go for an old-school scoop with toppings or try a banana split, waffle sandwich, brownie sundae or Kombucha float. They also use Babycakes vegan cookies for soft serve sandwiches.
