Coffee And Donut Ice Cream Among New Flavors At CoolHaus

We've been fan of the architecturally-inspired ice cream at CoolHaus for a while now. They've gone from a successful food truck to a bonafide brick-and-mortar over in Culver City, and are constantly innovating when it comes to new flavors. But up until now, the format has pretty much been focused on ice cream sandwiches and their fabulously creamy ice cream.
The spring brings change, with CoolHaus offering a new line of ice cream bars, and two new flavors of ice cream that have us swooning -- donuts and coffee and bananas foster. The line of ice cream bars come in "Mies Vanilla Rohe" -- a Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream dipped in salted milk chocolate caramel and crushed pretzels -- and the "Chocolate Hazelnut Aalto-Mond" -- chocolate hazelnut ice cream dipped in salted milk chocolate and ice cream.
"I have been watching the ice cream bar category for a while, and I really haven't seen much innovation in the past few years," says Natasha Case, co-owner of CoolHaus. "Besides, I love the idea of eating a delicious dessert and having a wooden stick left as evidence."
It's hard to pick favorites, but the texture of the bananas foster ice cream is unparalleled dreaminess. And the salty sweetness of the Mies Vanilla Rohe is like a yogurt-dipped pretzel on steroids. They really are just too good.

The bars are being sold at Gelson's, Bristol Farms, Sprouts, Lassens, Lazy Acres, and the Oaks Gourmet for $5.99-$6.49. The boxes contain three bars, meaning they are even cheaper than the sammies. There are also plans for Whole Foods and the Standard in West Hollywood will be selling the pints on their room service menu and bars/sandwiches on their poolside menu, giving us yet another reason to look forward to the summer months.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
