Outrageously good ice cream, one of my all time favorites for sure. Insanely good texture, amazing flavors and perfect sweetness. A heaven sent for ice cream lovers.The storefront itself is super cute! Seating both inside and outside the shop. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Fred was assisting us and we just couldn’t decide which flavors to chose, they all looked so good! We told him what we like and he chose out the flavors for us.I had Taro, Coconut and Pistachio. It was honestly the BEST ice cream that I’ve ever had. I loved all three of them, especially the chunks of fresh coconut and pistachios pieces. The quality is truly unmatched.They have so many fun flavor options that are absolutely delicious! They had 10+ flavors including vegan options and clearly marked items that have gluten.I highly recommend Saffron and Rose to everyone, I will definitely revisit often.Pictured is my half eaten ice cream, I was so excited I forgot to take a photo first! Behind it is my boyfriends Ice cream. && The pints we brought home :)
There’s usually a long line (especially during peak hours like weekend evenings), but the line tends to move relatively quickly. Plus, the saffron ice cream with pistachios is worth the wait! It’s incredibly sweet (but not overpowering) and creamy. I highly recommend giving Persian ice cream a try if you’ve never had it before.
It was my first time trying Persian ice cream and my only regret was not trying it sooner!! Service was super friendly and welcoming. I love how they gave great recommendations without any pressure. I couldn’t decide so I ended up getting four flavors: the Saffron with Pistachio, Pomegranate, Passion Fruit, and Dark Chocolate. They were ALL amazing, but I am a bigger fan of the fruity flavors and highly recommend the Pomegranate and Passion Fruit! I loved how I was able to have all four flavors for $7.. and this is INCLUDING tax!! I will definitely be back to try the other flavors.
Very good ice cream and complex flavors. I had saffron, pomegranate and orange bloom. The saffron was by far the best. I would recommend at least trying this place once to see if these flavors suit your palette. They didnt allow any flavor sampling so was difficult to determine what flavor to get. I thought the pomegranate was very tart & didnt go well with the other flavors.
This is a great Persian icecream place which I had seen in Worth It and was in my to go lists. There was a huge queue for the place so go with some extra time in hand. The flavors are really interesting and different, they do have the regular flavors as well. I tried the passion fruit and saffron pistachio..both were great! Kudos to the staff there working alone even when he had hurt his leg
I had been wanting to try Saffron & Rose for YEARS. And when I finally did, I regretted not doing it earlier! OMG. The BEST Persian ice cream Ive ever had (outside of homemade). They have really amazing and clean flavors. My favorite so far; regular rose, white rose, jasmine, saffron/pistachio and cucumber! I wish we had a Saffron & Rose in DC. Hands down, the best ice cream spot Ive ever been to! And the service is on point. Theyre so warm, welcoming and accommodating. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get. A must have whenever I am in LA!
This is where I first tried the Bastani (saffron and rose water flavored ice cream). Its likely one of their best flavors. The date ice cream is very good too. And so is the orange blossom one.The main reason I give them 4 stars though, is that theyre super close to Bloomfield, which in my opinion sells even better Persian ice cream. Theirs tend to be fattier and less sweet, which I think is how most ice cream should be.I do recommend Saffron & Rose, but if you find yourselves waiting in line, would actually suggest walking over to Bloomfield on the next block and giving their ice cream a shot.
I absolutely loved white rose flavor. The floral smell really packs a punch in the flavor. The green tea ice cream is also very good and i would prefer little less sweetened but definitely worth a try! So yummy!Due to covid, there is loading zone to pull the car in the front, order at the door and pick up right away. No testing available at this time!
BEST ice cream I’ve had in the U.S. *** hands down!Quality is on point, price is fair, serving is generous and flavors are truly divine. I chose saffron (with pistachio), pink rose and jasmine. I loved the 11 flavors I tried but the floral variety were the most unique and exotic. Must mention — *cucumber ice cream*… I was apprehensive but it’s pure bliss on a hot summer day.Saffron & Rose is worth a visit if you’re only in the area for a day or live on the other side of town. This is going to be a new detour on all West Coast visits.What a gem! Don’t miss this spot if you are into exotic adventures.
This place was my first Persian ice cream experience and it was amazing! It really doesnt matter what you get to be honest. I got the saffron and pistachio one the first time and my wife got the melon and it was all fantastic! Truly, you cant go wrong in selecting any flavor! Take a chance and try something new or stick with what you know, either way this place is a great stop for a frozen treat!
Wow. Truly a memorable first experience at this delight. Amazingly unique for an ice cream parlor because of its diverse Persian culture that takes eating the dessert to another level. The flavors were charming to read and enticing to taste. I took a go with Orange Blossom and Passion Fruit; delicious. But it doesnt stop there. The lemon juice they provide elevates the flavors of both the creamy sweetness and the blissfully sour delicacy. Also, ask for some wafers. You wont regret it!
I had heard so much about this place that finally I tried it out.We went there last night on our way back home and make a quick stop.As it was my first time so we asked them to suggest us.They suggested us their best seller “The Saffron Pistachio, and oh my god it was bliss.I’m gonna come back again to try their other flavours.
So many flavors!!! Saffron pistachio, white rose, orange blossom, Thai tea, jasmine... The list goes on and on and every flavor weve tried has been really good. Go for one of the floral flavors if youre feeling adventurous but theres plenty of great safe options too!
Flavors are unique and interesting, but the ice cream is absurdly sweet -- even by American standards. Not to mention the texture was not very creamy, rather icy instead.Prices are fair and portions are relatively large, although good luck trying to finish it given how sweet it is.
Exquisite. Beautiful display with a wonderful staff. Oh my. We LOVE it. See you on the next vacation visit. Love it!
Ice cream was delicious, original, and affordable. The guys running the shop were nice too. Will definitely be returning and telling friends and family visiting the area.
The best ice cream in the universe— besides Wanderlust creamery of course. I am obsessed with the green tea ice cream. Reasonably priced, honestly getting a deal for how delicious it is.
The ice cream was really great and really unique flavors. The saffron pistachio has a strong saffron flavor and lots of pistachios. The rose has a strong rose flavor. They all look like sorbets but its real ice cream.
Great service and delicious flavor! I can’t get Persian ice cream where I’m from, so this was definitely a treat!
We almost went twice in one day, it was so good. Really fun flavors. The service was also fantastic. I never write reviews but this place deserves a 6/5. And that’s coming from a massive foodie. So in love!!
Unique Persian style ice cream shop! Only negative was the guy serving ice cream was not wearing his mask properly and it made me feel uneasy seeing him breathe all over the ice cream during the Delta virus rise. Would still come back again, hopefully to more hygienic and considerate conditions.
Delicious vegan options available! This is by far the best spot in LA for Persian ice cream!
I’m glad we finally got to try this place! Although you can’t go inside, they have a table set up by the entrance to take your order. Pretty quick and efficient service.The saffron and pistachio had good chunks of pistachios. The fig and cranberry also had yummy chunks of fruits in it. Amazing flavors and consistency. Definitely coming back here to try other flavors!
10/10 recommend saffron and rose!!!! it is one of my favorite ice cream places I have ever been. to start off the ice cream is just amazing, so many cool and exotic flavors AND the workers here are just the best and so kind! would definitely recommend for anyone looking to try something new!
That lavender ice cream is VERY strong. Not saying they should dilute it but just offer a disclaimer it was like have perfume flavor ice cream in my mouth. 3/10.The saffron and pistachio was oddly some of the best ice cream ive had in a long time and very subtle by comparison 100/10
Perhaps one of my favorite ice cream places ever! Not too too expensive, and offers something unique that you really cant find often in the US. I personally recommend the taro and ube or really any of the floral flavors. The guys that Ive seen work there thus far have also been really chill and friendly, efficient and quick! Lets goo!
I absolutely love Saffron and Rose! They have such a wide variety of flavors, and it is delicious. If you are looking for something sweet to satisfy your craving, this is the place. The customer service is also superb.
It was our first time and Mason was fantastic! He let us try any flavor we wanted and explained which ones were most popular and, based on what we told him our ice cream preferences were, he led us to flavors we didn’t even ask to try but he thought we’d like. The ice cream was absolutely delicious!!
The ice cream was delicious, and I was pleased with the outcome because I could customize it. It was fantastic ice cream! I tried a cold brew, and it was excellent.
Incredible Ice cream with a great vibe. 10/10 worth going to
My friends and I visit this best Persian Ice Cream place. Very good creamy and soft quality. I recommend the cucumber.
Really good ice cream with a variety of choices. It is not costly, and the location is adequate. If you want to see deserts, this is the place to go. Perfect flavors, reasonable rates, and a level of sweetness that isnt overpowering.
Strawberry flavor tastes so fresh. I would recommend adding Rose ice cream with it, or orange blossom whichever you are in the mood for.The staff is super friendly, and the owners are usually there making sure everyone is satisfied and happy with what they offer. Pre covid they would let you try as many flavors as you want.They are the busiest ice cream spot in Westwood, and my personal favorite!Also, when i took the picture, I was debating if I would stick to my tea and couldn’t resist.
We tried chocolate, vanilla, and cheese cake ice cream. It was difficult to choose the best of them because they were all so good. The ice cream is delicious and creamy.
Simply the best Ice Cream in LA, and the best price. Creamiest and most delicious - nothing compares. I was told by one person that Bloomfield was as good, but I drove to Pasadena to try it and it wasnt even close. Saffron & Rose hands down #1.Get the traditional Saffron & Rose flavor with either sour cherry, pomegranate, or dark chocolate to spoil yourself!
Truly a one of a kind place. Great unique flavors such as saffron, white rose and orange blossom. Really delicate and delicious.
This place is from heaven. I went their after hearing so many stories on how good their ice cream is. I have ordered three flavors on one cup. Saffron, cucumber and passion fruits. The saffron and cucumber were really refreshing and you feel that you are literally on the sky while having them. The passion fruit is ok. The prices are reasonable to me and I definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting LA.
Lol, this ones new for me, but the flavors are actually good. Tried something new & loved it!
A must try spot, there are a variety of unique flavors (i.e. White Rose) which are definitely worth a try. If you let the ice cream melt a bit before indulging, youll find it has a texture youve never before tasted.
The flavors are very unique and varied. the ice cream taste and texture was also fabulous!!
Best and most unique flavors Ive ever had! Every few weeks we order a handful to be delivered and love nearly every flavor. Banana, cucumber, jasmine, Nutella and rose are some of the best. They even had taro one time, which was incredible!
Really good ice cream and unique flavors. Ive eaten here multiple times. Also cheaper than other boutique creameries.
Contemplated buying a cooler and dry ice to take some of this ice cream home with us. I HIGHLY recommend the Date and Saffron ice cream. Never had this type of texture and taste of ice cream before.
Love their Ice cream ....
Hands down my fav ice cream in LA. My fav combo is saffron + chocolate. They need bigger menus displayed outside so people can see their options while waiting in line. Currently no one can go in due to covid so there is a long line outside (cuz, duh—they are the best!)
OMG!! So good. First time trying this flavor. Impressed
The lavender ice cream tastes like it was made from essential oils…not good.
Came from Maryland to try the famous ice cream and it was well worth it. Definitely coming back
Wow! Ice cream was absolutely amazing, creamy with lots of flavour. They even import fruit to create some of their flavours, and they’re one of the best fruit ice creams I’ve ever tasted. I also tried a fan favourite, even though flowers aren’t my thing, white rose, which was pretty good. The place itself isn’t very big, and doesn’t need to be, not much of a wait, street parking is available out the front and near by.
Saffron Rose 🌹 is a luscious journey to Ice Cream 🌹Sherbet beyond All Delight of Frozen Paradise ~ Orange Blossom • Pomegranate • Date • Cucumber • Chocolates With Various Nuts 🌹To name just a few ...

I love their ice creams, I tried it once and I have to say it was sooo great 😍
Very good. I especially like the floral flavors.
Perfect Persian traditional ice cream and Faloode. I always come here in my visits to LA
Wow, not great. Artificially flavored with cheap or possibly fake saffron. Go to Mashti Malone’s for the OG.
I was interested in trying Persian ice cream and I am glad I did. The ice cream was smooth and creamy like Gelato and frosty like ice cream. Its like the best of both worlds!They were out of cones at the shop when we were there. I got Carmel crunch in a cup. My husband got the cookies and cream. The Carmel crunch was super sweet. After a few bites I had to stop eating because it was just pure sweetest on my tongue.The cookies and cream was better. It had perfect levels of chocolate and vanilla. There were cookies pieces throughout and the chocolate was a rich and quality.I would go back to try their plain vanilla or chocolate. The Carmel crunch wasnt my favorite but everything else was pretty good.Prices were decent. $4 for a small, $6 for a medium, 8 for a large. The portions were big as well. I couldnt finish my medium ice cream.
You might think that price for the ice cream or the scoops is very high. The Icecream price is not at all high. They are delicious and taste quite best😍. They have different kinds of fruits and flowers favors.In addition they also have vegan options.So if according to me, if you would love to try a dessert it is the best in LA. Moreover, even 2 scoops are more than enough for 2 person. I mean 1 scoop is fine for 1 person if you are hungry.
Great and friendly customer service! Unique flavours of selection, all delicious! My favourite go to is the pistachio saffron. :)
Not a common ice cream shop. This one is different than others. Good to try it out.
The saffron and pistachio doesnt taste like before. Not enough saffron and no cream chunks. Disappointed.
Pretty good ice cream with cool unique flavors
The ice cream tastes like real cream. I feel like this is what ice cream is supposed to taste like and Ive just been eating sub-par ice cream my whole life.
This place is amazing, their Rose Ice cream is insanely good! The gentleman on the phone and the other counter were sweet! I’ll definitely be back :)
I love this place when ever Im in santa Monica I have to go here it is my favorite icecream place I recommend the pomegranate and dark chocolate mix
We had friends recommend this place and we were NOT disappointed. When the employee behind the counter found out it was our first time there he gave us a sample of EVERY FLAVOR. I was so grateful because Im always embarrassed to ask for more than two samples and because of this I was to find my new favorite (Lavender) that I would never have tried otherwise. Wonderful customer service and delicious ice cream.
Did someone say Ice Cream for brunch? I just happened to be in the area and wanted to try this place. I was waiting outside before it opened, and the owner saw me and opened the door a bit earlier. He was friendly and noted that saffron and white rose were the most popular flavors (hence the name?!)They definitely use real ingredients, because their fig ice cream had real figs for example, and their fruits had real fruit. The white rose came with chunks of frozen cream which was delicious. It added a different texture. They have a pink rose too which was pink due to cactus fruit apparently. They also have vegan options in a separate fridge, which is great!The sizes are hefty and we got their pint basically with 4 flavors. He was not stingy! It was all delicious. We got Jasmine, mint chip (tastes more standard but flaky chips), white rose, and almond. The almond is also great with real almond chunks!
Probably the BEST ice cream Ive ever had! They have very unique flavors such as rose, cucumber, jasmine, and saffron along with traditional ones too. The texture and flavor of the ice cream itself is perfect. I ordered the jasmine and pink rose flavors and they were delicious! You have to try this place!
Great, unique ice cream with very friendly, knowledgeable staff. Try the floral flavors!
The ice cream was delicious and there were some nice gluten-free choices to choose from. Good value for money. What more do you like from an ice-cream shop?
Great ice cream & definitely worth the 5-10 mins wait. I ordered the saffron & pistachio ice cream & white rose ice cream & both were amazing!
Always good to eat ice cream here.
