What people say
According to a recent review by the Los Angeles Times, Smitten Ice Cream's liquid nitrogen-made ice cream is "indulgence in every scoop." The review, published in August 2021, praised the shop's unique technique of using liquid nitrogen to freeze their ice cream on the spot. The article also highlighted some of the flavors customers rave about, including their seasonal flavor, Lemon Blueberry Crumb Cake.
On Yelp, a user wrote in June 2021 that Smitten Ice Cream is "hands down my favorite place for ice cream." The reviewer mentioned how they appreciate the use of fresh ingredients and how it is evident in the taste. Another reviewer stated in May 2021 that they "felt like a kid again" after trying Smitten's Brown Butter Sage flavor.
A review by Eater LA from January 2020 mentioned that while there was a long line at Smitten Ice Cream's El Segundo location, their staff moved things along swiftly. The article also noted how impressive it was to see the liquid nitrogen process up close and personal.
Overall, reviews of Smitten Ice Cream are consistently positive across various platforms.
