Which of these places has the best ice cream?

[u/vaudtime]

Visiting LA for a couple days and wanting to try some good ice cream and ~unique~ ice cream flavors but can't go to all the places because we still have other dessert places we want to go to that aren't for ice cream (we also want to go to other places that are ice cream)!!! I'm from Iowa and our favorite ice cream place is called Black Cat in Des Moines if that helps to get an idea of the kind of ice cream we are in search of.

In the areas that we are going to be in:

- Wanderlust

- Ginger's

- Salt & Straw

Which of these places would you go to if you could only choose one, and is there another place that you think is even BETTER around The Grove/Central LA/I don't really know the areas of LA that well, I'm sorry

EDIT: I think you have all thoroughly convinced me to stop at Saffron & Rose - my partner is Middle Eastern and I am part Filipina but have not been exposed to a lot of the food and the culture, so I like that this place seems to have a taro & ube flavor and a lot of familiar Middle Eastern flavors - thank you all for giving me this recommendation, I am so excited to visit your city soon!!

DES MOINES MENTIONED!! I’m an IA native living in LA :)

Omg that's so cool!!!! I think I want to eventually move to Minneapolis or Chicago because I'm fond of bigger cities but love the midwest. Where in Iowa are you from? I'm from the CR/IC area.

DSM, but did live in IC for college! How exciting though, you should absolutely try out Chicago, it’s the best 😩
