Two Tickets to Paradis – Enjoying Ice Cream at Paradis

I know I totally went for the low hanging fruit with this title but every once in awhile you just need to reference some Eddie Money.

So. Paradis. Most. Delicious. Ice Cream.

You probably already know that I love ice cream. I write about it enough. But, there are so many great shops in SoCal that I just have to share them with you. And Paradis is my current favorite.

Paradis is actually a Scandinavian ice cream brand. Danish, to be exact. There are multiple shops throughout Denmark and a few in the Los Angeles area. So what is Scandinavian ice cream? Well, it’s similar to gelato – soft and creamy. But I think it’s better than gelato. It’s even softer.

That my friends is my favorite combo. Marshmallow ice cream in a waffle cone. Yup, I said marshmallow. I’ve loved marshmallows ever since I was a kid but until Paradis I had never seen them in ice cream form. Let me tell you, I had been missing out. It’s so soft and creamy and tastes just like marshmallows. So, so good.

But if you don’t like marshmallows there are many other flavors to choose from. I highly recommend any fruit flavors – strawberry, pineapple, coconut…they are all super refreshing and, of course, super delicious.

And if you want some to take home, Pardis has got you covered.

You can choose up to six flavors.

They got a little smooshed in transport but you get the picture. Let me see if I can remember the flavors…from the top left – strawberry, marshmallow, chocolate, coffee, chocolate brownie (?) and pineapple. Oh well, 5 out 6 isn’t bad.

Paradise has three locations in Los Angeles – Los Feliz, Montrose, and Long Beach. I’m a regular at the Long Beach location. You should definitely visit it. It’s in the heart of Belmont Shore so there’s lots of shopping and restaurants to enjoy. And the folks who run this shop are super nice and friendly and will make you feel totally welcome.
