If you find yourself in Hollywood, California, off the beaten track you’ll find one of the most wonderful hidden delights, Mashti Malone, home of the most amazing Russian ice cream.

The idea came from a Russian farmer who, over a century ago, had a vision of combining fresh cream with the beautiful scent of roses. Though some creative experimentation, rosewater ice cream was born.

Founded in 1980, Mashti Malone now makes dozens of natural flavours fresh, in-store. The simple ingredients dance on the taste buds. Flavours include soybean milk, rose water, saffron, ginger, and pistachio nuts.

Find your way to this hidden gem at 1525 North La Brea Avenue, Hollywood, California. It’s truly heaven.
