Authentic Persian ice cream. Some of flavors like cucumber, pomegranate, falooda are quite amazing. People are very nice and let you try as many as you like till you choose.

After a garlicky seafood dinner at the Boiling Crab at the Westwood Village, we stopped here to cleanse our palate with some Persian ice cream. Persian ice cream is simply refreshing. However, if it is your first time, you will either like it or you won’t. After circling the area to find parking, we found a 15 minute meter spot (cost a quarter) and made our way to this little shop. There was just too many choices! The girl let me sample a bunch, and even had me taste her personal favorites. Persian ice cream uses ingredients not found in so called commercial ice cream, like saffron, rose water, cucumber, lavender, and so on. Some may say its like eating perfume, and I would not disagree. This place does offer non traditional Persian flavors like chocolate and mint chip, but why would you spend $4.50 on ordinary ice cream? Stephen found his instant favorite: NUTELLA ICE CREAM, and we tried a sample. It was good. This is coming from me, a non Nutella fan. We ended up taking home 2 pints: the saffron with pistachios, and a nutella (that was a given), and a small, 2 scoop of the pomegranate… which set us back $18.50.If you’re not a fan of circling for parking, they do sell this at the Persian market. I am from Orange County and can find them at Wholesome Choice, but in Torrance, the International Market off Hawthorne and PCH has it, too. callmemochelle.com
We moved to the Westside from Hollywood, and Mashti Malone’s was a regular date night dessert stop for us. We loved Mashti’s, and I think we might like the ice cream here at Saffron & Rose even more. Anyway, if you don’t know either place, it doesn’t matter. Saffron & Rose is amazing! The flavor choices are unique, fresh and interesting if you’re accustomed to 31 flavors or Cold Stone. Plus all of it is made custom and with fresh and I believe at least some organic ingredients. Very friendly service and all the free tastes you need. Added to my regular places to visit!
