All this talk about frozen desserts is great, but I must mention one thing HUMPHREY”S YOGART in Sherman Oaks might be the worst single place to work on earth. The owners - always up your ass and nothing can get done. The customers - 99% of the customers that come in should not be able to leave the house without a helmet on. And the employees - most actors or wannabes, drug addicts, and one pussy footing make up artist. As for the so called yummy goodness of non fat yogurt - the most discusting thing I have ever put in my mouth. I vote Baskin Robbins over FRUMPY YOFARTS….

[...] The word is out. My previous post about ice cream in Los Angeles has had an unexpected result. Along with all your suggestions, we have single-handedly solved the anorexia problem in Hollywood. [...]

We used to have a Good Humor ice cream truck in our neighborhood around USC circa 2000-2002, but I think it was mostly transporting drugs, not yumminess.

Edgar walked in right as we were leaving, so I didn’t get to see what he ordered. It was a Tuesday night, though, and even though we were TiVo-ing 24, I almost said, “Shouldn’t you be at work?” He was also with a surprisingly pretty woman.

That’s too bad. I remember Robin Rose as being really good. Why do we need another gym/fitness center in town when ice cream is so much more important to urban living?

Inspired by the ice cream talk, we tried to go to Robin Rose in Venice, because it was the closest place on the list. It appears to be gone. The address was occupied by some kind of gym / fitness place.

We settled for gelato from the unlisted Venice Cafe a couple of blocks away on the beach. It was pricey and unremarkable.

I’ve been to the Lava Lounge and the Russian bakery upstairs many times, and I just thought Mashti Malone’s looked too weird from the outside. And to think I used to go to Thrifty/Rite-Aid for my ice cream!

Glad you liked Mashti’s. BTW, that’s my ‘hood!

Sophia, we need to definitely try that frozen custard in Los Angeles. Manhattan Beach or Hollywood? I remember the place in Las Vegas. That was the highlight of our last trip there.

And, Nanette, you saw Edgar?! One of my favs, too. Of course, everyone else reading this who didn’t watch “24″ will have no idea who we’re talking about. What did he order? And what was your favorite flavor?

By the way, can we all agree that Baskin-Robbins has the worst ice cream?

I was gonna suggest Angelato’s before I read your comment, Neil. I’ve only been a couple times but I love that place. All the flavors to choose from - so overwhelming! The first time I went there I saw one of my fav characters from 24, Edgar.
