For over a decade, Carmela's Ice Cream has been Pasadena's go-to for ice cream of a higher scoop - small batch, artisanal flavors unlike anything else in town, with creamy textures and buoyant taste notes made to be remembered. Well, remembered after you're done enjoying, at least. And that could take some time. Now Carmela's is loaded up with an ice cream truck ready to spread their goods to all of LA, near and far. Between hitting farmers' markets and street fairs, the truck's making new fans out of everyone it encounters, but it's most adept doing it in your own backyard. Book Carmela's for your next event to cool all your friends off in style - and in blissful gratitude. Raise your scoop standards - and raise the morale around you. It's a simple equation, actually. But often the best things are the simplest. MUST TRY

Chocolate Sorbet - Rich, decadent - and dairy free. It's a treat to unite all tongues.

Lavender Honey - Say hello to a new sensation - call it somewhere between sweet and floral - or call it ohmygodyesyes. Both will do.
