Ice Cream Week: N'ice Cream
July is National Ice Cream Month. To celebrate, we'll be reviewing some of our favorite ice cream spots -- and some new ones, too -- all this week.

Love ice cream, but hate the guilt? Meet N'ice Cream in Venice (and Santa Monica).Featuring amazing gelato and sorbets made fresh every morning, N'ice Cream flavors contain only natural ingredients, are lower in sugar (cane sugar is the only sweetener used) than traditional ice cream.
In addition to old favorites (chocolate, vanilla bean, strawberry, coffee), N'ice cream features flavors such as salted caramel (the best flavor, in our humble opinion), coconut (made with real coconut, of course), chocolate sea salt, peanut butter, and pineapple sorbet.

None of the flavors are overly sweet, just bursting with real flavor.
If you're wondering which flavors have been made at each store, the website has a handy list for you.
At the Abbot Kinney location (the original N'ice Cream, with two additional stores on Ocean Front Walk in Venice and at the Market at Santa Monica Place), we ordered two double scoops. One was a combo of the amazing salted caramel and coconut, the other was a combo of caramel crunch and straciatella.
While the combo flavors are impressive, in our opinion, N'ice cream's at it best when it's kept simple. The fresh flavors are really an experience, and we recommend the next time you're in the area you stop in for some transcendent salted caramel ice cream and $1 organic coffee.
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.
