I get to this establishment and establishment is closed before it is even supposed to be five employees don’t even try to acknowledge you and come in and let you know that they are closed they just try to avoid you.
Hours say they close at 12 but they actually close at 11… plenty of employees looking at me thru the window but not enough to serve their customers. Unreal
Every time we get after’s ice cream, they always mess up our order and sometimes charge us for something we don’t have! Good ice cream, however bad service.

Afters ice cream is has become a staple fixture in San Gabriel Valley, niching it’s success in this corner of Los Angeles County. Away from the other blossoming success stories in the main arteries of L.A. Metropolitania like Scoops, Salt & Straw and Coolhaus, Afters brands itself with a whimsical nostalgia for the sweet delectables that anyone can crave after lunch, dinner or just after work.My first experience of their delicious fray was in their Pasadena location, where that location at a retro 1950s gas station turned scoop shop, really evokes a precious charm of the old days of Hollywood and roadsters. Not only did the venue make me curious to its delicacies that await, but the line really drove home that this was a place worth the wait.This location, however veers from that vintage feel for a more stiffer, yet contemporary feel. Where the mood screams trendy and clean, but narrowed in personality and charm. The ambience is set amongst a very modern sound of hip-hop and world music, softening the colder stone walls that shape it. The personnel was welcoming and friendly, willing to take their time to engage our curiosities of the flavors they offer. Even when my daughter was asking to try the orange one, the blue one, the purple one, the green one and the black one.If you haven’t tried Afters ice cream before…your mouth is missing out. Their staple flavors include a Thai iced tea that could mirror the best cup you’ve had in any part of the world, a Vietnamese coffee that really transports you to a coffee shop halfway across the globe, but their true victory of culinary prowess lies in the milk & cereal. I often find the best foods are often the most simple in concept, but cause your to feel connected with your past, and milk & cereal does this exact thing. Makes you feel all the warm and fuzzy feelings anyone who was a kid, making their corn flakes with milk and a bit of sugar. It’s simple, but the nostalgia runs powerful. And if you place it in one of their milk buns…forget it, I’m in La La land.My only issue is with the pricing. One scoop is $5.25, but get in to the second scoop, and it’s only $7.75. It’s the entry fee to get a scoop that seems a little high given the second comes at half price. The incentive is there to get more, but if the richness of a scoop from here is very satisfying in itself, that it sometimes dampens the experience if you mix flavors. The pints are reasonably priced given the price of one scoop, but seriously could do with a drop in the pricing for one scoop to maybe $4.75 just to get more clients in.
Simply great homemade ice cream with an excellent choice of flavors. Excellent customer service as well.
I had the Jasmin milk tea along side the Vietnamese coffee ice cream ? 10/10 would definitely get again. Make sure you add nuts to it!!! Definitely worth the extra 50cents
The plant-based chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is so yummy. if you are not used to plant based ice cream the texture and taste is a teeny bit different than cow milk based ice cream, but it’s so satisfying.The cookie dough bits have a thicker texture, plus the mini chocolate chips are nice and crunchy, which makes it super fun to eat. It has chocolate syrup swirled in too!
