The Pond Ice Cream - Arcadia, California

Joanna Y.

Ice cream shop and no soft serving like what they post on yelp. I only got to choose the flavors from vanilla, chocolate, taro and cooked n cream ( even Momo paradise across the street serve more flavours and it’s all you can eat) I saw they scoop that ridiculous taro ice cream from a white dirty plastic box and it cost me fxxx 6dollars. So ridiculous. I threw it into the trash can right after I walked out the store

Wanted soft serve but instead got stale over priced ice cream. Had no flavor and Scoops were tiny. Couldn't even eat it, even though it cost me $7.50.

The place was empty even though it was right after Arcadia High across the street had ended their school day, and about 100 degrees outside. I should have known not to buy anyway since they didn't have any flavors which were appealing.

Ended up getting the strawberry brownie and cookies and cream scoops. But ice cream is just mediocre; I could tell it was made from good ingredients, sadly it tasted gummy rather than the creaminess I prefer with these desserts. There were not many other ice cream places nearby.

Won't come back.

Visiting from Arizona looked on Google maps for ice cream the girl working here went above and beyond she even told us local spots to check out the ice cream rolls were delicious and not over priced

There was no line to order when I came in the evening. The flavors change everyday so there are many options. If you don't know about the flavor, they can give you samples. I got the hojicha soft serve 1 scoop in a cup ($6.5). They charge 99 cents per topping so I opted out of adding any. The serving size is quite small for 1 scoop and the price you are paying. Very not worth it for just soft serve. I know other places that give a way larger portion for cheaper. In general, the cup and cone prices are just overpriced. I would say only the drink prices seem normal priced. I liked the taste of the soft serve but the portion was just too small for the price. Also the menu is confusing to understand, like you can't really tell what is the price for soft serve cone or cup. Would not be coming again. I would say just to come here if you are curious about the ice cream.

Usually pop in for their soft serve after having dinner or errands. They change their flavors every month but their Instagram always updates so you can find the flavors of the month there. I've only gone for soft serve but the place is cute and the staff have always been friendly.

The flavors are pretty good. I wish the matcha flavor is stronger though and the ice-cream a little less sweet. But overall it is pretty good and aesthetic as well. The milk tea and matcha combo does pair well together as a swirl.

The place is spacious and has a modern feel to it and have ample seating.

I first came here a few years ago when it had its grand opening and I thought the flavors were a little weak. But I came again recently and thought the flavors were much richer.

I ordered melona and rose with frosted flakes in a cone. The melona and rose were both creamy and rich and complimented each other well. The free 1 topping is a nice touch and remember to check into Yelp for a free cone! I'm not a fan of charcoal anything, but hey, free is free. I only wish they offered more flavors.

Staff was nice and allowed me to sample all of the flavors. I came around 9pm on a Sunday and it was empty. There is a small parking lot in the back and also free street parking. I've never had trouble finding parking.

Overall, it's a decent dessert for $5. Might come back if there is a new flavor that I want to try.
