Dessert

626 Ice Cream

Arcadia, Los Angeles, CA 📍 Maps

This late-night dessert parlor operates out of a strip mall storefront with dim, moody lighting and a low-key lofi soundtrack that feels like a cozy 1960s coffee house. Founded by hospitality veterans Amber Tan and Waldo Yan, the shop reimagines the classic San Gabriel Valley frozen yogurt experience with deeply personal, nostalgic Asian-American flavors. First-timers should expect a lively, social line stretching into the parking lot, which moves quickly thanks to generous, self-serve-style sampling at the counter.

★ The Legend
Yakult Soft Serve
This signature soft serve captures the exact tart, citrusy sweetness of the iconic Japanese probiotic milk beverage in an incredibly airy, creamy frozen format. Regulars love to swirl it with a fruitier flavor and top it with chamoy-flavored gummy bears to lean into the nostalgic, tangy profile.
◆ Fan Favorite
Honey Misugaru Soft Serve
A rich, nutty soft serve made from a traditional Korean roasted multi-grain powder that delivers a deeply toasted, comforting flavor profile sweetened with local honey. Order it swirled with black sesame soft serve to create a beautifully balanced, earthy dessert that isn't overly sweet.
◇ Hidden Gem
Lychee Strawberry Soft Serve
Most visitors default to the heavier tea and grain profiles, but this dairy-free, coconut-based option offers an incredibly refreshing, tropical brightness. It is best enjoyed as a clean palate cleanser topped with micro-sized Japanese rice crackers, known as bubu arare, for a salty, savory crunch.
✦ Off the Menu
The SGV Passport Swirl
An off-menu combination that layers the tart Yakult soft serve with the earthy Honey Misugaru in a single cup, creating a sweet, nutty, and tangy flavor profile that isn't featured on the main board. Simply ask the counter staff to run a custom half-and-half swirl of the two taps when both flavors are running concurrently.
Insider Tip

Ask the staff for a full flight of samples before you commit to a cup, as they are famously generous with their tasting portions to help you navigate the rotating menu. Once you choose your base, skip the standard chocolate chips and head straight for the bubu arare and hazelnut praline toppings to add a distinct, savory crunch that cuts through the sweetness.
