One thing that never seems to go out of style in Southern California is devouring a cold and creamy ice cream cone. Perhaps it's because we have so many sunny days here and ice cream is the perfect thing to cool us off when the sun comes out. Or maybe it's just because ice cream is the most delicious sweet treat on the planet that always hits the spot. No matter what the reason, we can't stop searching for the best ice cream shops in SoCal. We're pretty sure you'll like this one.
Head to the town of Pasadena and you'll find a tiny ice cream shop that's been converted from an old gas station. It's incredibly cute and impossible to miss when you drive by.
Afters is located at 2616, 1265 E Green St., Pasadena, CA 91106.
To add to its charm, they've added decorative vintage gas pumps where the original pumps were once located. You may not be able to fuel up your car at Afters, but you can definitely fuel up on ice cream.
Step up to the old-fashioned outdoor counter and place your order. Take your pick from a variety of popular ice cream treats including standard ice cream cones, cups of ice cream, and one of our personal favorites...
...the Milky Bun. Imagine an ice cream sandwich made with donuts and you have yourself a Milky Bun. It's such a delicious way to splurge!
Can't decide what to order? We think a cone AND a cup sounds like a great way to compromise when you simply can't make up your mind.
Whether you select one scoop or two, you'll love the variety of flavors you can choose from at Afters in Pasadena.
