Afters Ice Cream

The staff was friendly, but I didn’t like the message on the tip jar. It was suggestive, inappropriate and in poor taste for an establishment that sells ice cream to minors.
Furthermore, the ice cream wasn’t anything special — the selections are limited and it’s $ 4 for 1 scoop? Didn’t taste that good either. I’ll pass on this place from now on.

This place has become my new addiction!
So it took a while to find my perfect match: unglazed honey bun with cookie butter ice cream and afters flakes. OMG. a taste of HEAVEN.
Customer service is always great.
Would be nice if they offered deals. such as 3 – 5 «happy hour» $ 1 off

To join the hype or not, that is the question
Staff is super friendly & helpful. If it’s your first time, they don’t make you feel like a noob at all. Inside is spotless, the floors glitter like Edward. Flavors are unique with a cool twist & toppings. I had the Cookie Monster with the glazed bun, A+ for being basic. But, I’m not sold on the flavor + price tag. For what it is, I’m happier going to Thrify’s for my $ 2.49 double scoop of chocolate malted crunch.
Maybe came on bad day? Wasn’t feeling it cuz my visit was during finals? But added + for being located close to CSULB if you’re looking for a place to indulge after an exam.

I think I have died and gone to Cookie Monster heaven!
Being that I am a self-​proclaimed connoisseur of ice cream, I thought I’d give Afters the good old college try.
When I arrived at 10 pm the line was out the door! After waiting in line for about 15 minutes, I finally got to see what all the hype was about.
After sampling several delectable flavors, I decided to get the Cookie Monster (cookies n cream that is blue) with fruity pebbles in a waffle cone. While the blue color of ice cream can seem questionable, this ice cream flavor is all that I am looking for in an ice cream! It is creamy, has the perfect ratio between cookie and ice cream, and most importantly delicious! The added fruity pebbles one top was also a nice touch!
So if you are someone who wants try life changing ice cream or someone who wants to satisfy those late night munchies, I’d highly recommend Afters!

Location/​Parking:
There is a lot of parking since it is located in a plaza where there is a target, yogurt land and other shops. It’s right next to yogurt land if you have difficulty finding it. This location is pretty small, there are tables to eat outside shared with Yogurtland, depending on the time or day if its crowded only a limited amount of people are allowed inside and the rest wait outside.
Vibe/​Space:
Small space, and if there’s a long line you can only stay until you get your ice cream of course. I like their sleek and modern design, super simple and straight to the point.
Service:
The workers were very friendly and were willing to answer our questions, and also give us samples that we wanted.
Food:
I like how they offer simple yet unique flavors such as the cookie monster which is chocolate chip cookies and oreo and its a bright blue color which gets you. Jasmine Milk tea which is my personal favorite taste exactly like what Jasmine Milk Tea is when you drink it and it’s purple. Another favorite of mine is the Milk and Cereal which is milk ice cream which their Afters flakes, basically sugar coated corn flakes. The Milky Bun with glaze is too sweet for my liking and melts EXTREMELY fast which gets super messy because the glaze is hot taste exactly like a Krispy Kreme donut. I’ve gotten it with not glaze and it is easier to eat since it doesn’t melt super fast and its also just the right sweetness for me but its not that great also.
Overall I would come back if I am craving their uniquely flavored ice cream but wouldn’t go here all the time because it isn’t that great and I’ve had better ice cream for he price.

I am pretty much addicted to this place!
It is my favorite ice-​cream place of all times and boy am I happy that it’s located right next to my school and home! (This does not help my addiction sadly)
It is very clean in the shop and has nice writing on the walls for your Instagram picture.
But in regards to the flavors, so far my favorite is the Jasmin milk tea with mochi or fruity pebbles. I enjoy this flavor on a waffle cone and I think it’s my go to !
Oh and warning, sometimes the line can be very long so be prepared to wait, but it’s worth it because on the other side is some bomb ice-​cream waiting for you!

These guys make a HOT donut sliced in half with ice cream stuffed in the middle… you feel your heart stop for a moment after biting into it! Worth the trip just to try that one!
Enjoy

Love Afters!
Went on the opening night of this location last year and have just recently returned.
I’ve been going almost everyday for the past 3 weeks. My favorites are the Cookie Butter, Mint Monster and the the infamous Cookie Monster!
The sticky bun is a bit too sweet for my liking but in a waffle cone is the perfect match.
Very clean, sometimes there’s a line (it looks intimidating but moved fast) and the staff is super friendly.
+ they let you sample flavors

Oh my goodness, it’s diabetes waiting to happen and will leave your tastebuds tingling all at the same time.
You can decide between a sticky bun (basically a glazed donut) a regular (non glazed) one or just your choices in a cup.
I went two days in a row because greatness…
I had the sticky bun with Madagascar vanilla and Cinnamon Toast Crunch as well as the sticky bun with cookie butter and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Both were delicious and epic and I definitely couldn’t finish it on my own.
They are only $ 6 and the staff there is very friendly and helpful.

Wanted a late night snack, so we came here at 11:30 pm. They didn’t have any unglazed milk buns left, which we had wanted, so we had no choice but to get the glazed milk buns for our ice cream sandwiches. We all tried some samples first and then ordered our seven ice cream sandwiches. We all really liked our ice cream flavors, which included the Cookie Monster, Peanut Butter S’mores, and Jasmine Milk Tea. We all chose different toppings, including Mochi, Oreos, and Cookie Crisp. We all really liked our ice cream sandwiches. The only complaint everyone had was that they wanted the added toppings to be in every bite and more spread out. The toppings seemed to just be sprinkled in the middle of the sandwich.

The ice cream is great but not the best I’ve had. Came here on a Thursday night with some friends and there was a bit of a line. I thought the set up was a little strange since the location is small but it doesn’t allow for an easy in and out flow of people.
That aside, I tried a handful of ice cream flavors but none of them were extremely amazing. I settled for the Cookie Monster and Almond Cookie on a Waffle Cone and they were both good.
Overall I was happy with my visit but not dying to
comeback.

After being sort of a hater about the Fountain Valley one (wasnt too impressed at first) hearing about the Long Beach location opening didn’t woo me too much. After several visits though I can say that every one of their ice cream flavors are top notch, high quality, with a good variety of flavors. Add the milky bun and i’m ready to die happy.
Afters was the missing puzzle piece for the dessert game in Long Beach and they’re open late too! Just wish they had more seating other than the couple metal tables out front.

I’ve come here numerous times before and left each time super satisfied and a happy camper. The hype is definitely real!
Their prices are a tiny bit steep ($ 4/​scoop of ice cream) but it’s well worth it. The variety of flavors they have are exquisite and extensive. So far, I’ve tried their mint monster (bright green mint ice cream with cookie chunks), Cookie Monster (cookies and cream but blue), jasmine milk tea, and milk and cereal ice creams. All the flavors are spot on, and you can’t go wrong with any one of them, although my favorite is Cookie Monster — so creamy, delectable, and the cookies inside are huge! So yummy.
For $ 6 total, get a scoop of ice cream in their signature milky bun, which is somewhat like a donut (glazed or unglazed). On a hot day in SoCal, this is so perfect in every way ugh.
(Location is inside a small plaza near Cha For Tea and Target. Parking is ample.)

Yup pretty much lived up to the 20 people deep line i see on most evenings.
Had 2 milky buns. Come at 5pm. Little to no line. By 6ish there were 10 plus folks.
–non glazed… Jasmine tea ice cream
Was ok… Should have gotten the glazed. Bun seemed a bit dry. Meh
–saved the show. Glazed piping hot milky bun with cookie monster ice cream… Kazam. Hello my new blue bff. Delish: i wish the donut didnt stick to the freekin paper wrap… It was stuck on like it was superglued. Missed the outerpart of the donut.
Im sure i will be back and drop another 6.00 bucks a pop for one of these suckers.

Got here at 11:55pm they were locking the doors but opened them back up for us. We were greeted and as I was a first timer Armita explained all the options and made a couple recommendations. Sampled a couple flavors and settled on a glazed milky bun with milk and cereal ice cream topped with afters corn flakes. It was a perfect blend of warm pastry and cold ice cream, tasty textural explosion, not too sweet. $ 6 which given the wonderful customer service and quality of treat I felt was fair.

Caveat– I am not a connoisseur of ice cream.
Afters ice cream is generally on the sweeter side. I ordered the milk & cereal– with flakey cereal. Tasted the Cookie Monster, cookie butter, jasmine milk tea. Not fantasmic. Just, you know, on-​the-​sweeter-​side ice cream.
The line was ridiculous. Absurd on a Saturday night, around 10pm.

I’ve passed this place several times with long lines out the door. I came by on a weekday afternoon to see it empty, so I jumped on the opportunity to try the latest craze.
I was greeted by really nice employees, who recommended the popular milky bun with a choice of ice cream. But when I saw all the unique flavors, I knew I wanted to try more than 1! It also doesn’t hurt that they offer a better deal, the more scoops you get!
Much like I do when I go to yogurtland, I went for a few: Strawberry Cookie Crunch (choc chips make it crunchy with bits of berries), Churro (tastes like frozen horchata) and Cookie Monster (good, but the artificial, blue color kind of scares me).
None of the flavors disappointed, but I would prefer to add the toppings on my own like I can at yogurtland. After all, they charge .50 for each topping and the serving wasn’t that generous compared to my heavy handed pours. ;)
I guess it was a good balance of ice cream & toppings After all.
They also provided me a lid so I can enjoy it again later… After dinner! I’ll be back to try that milky bun ice cream sandwich for sure!

As someone with a sweet tooth, this place is okay. I think this is one of those places where you eat once and don’t really crave it or go out of your way to get it (in my opinion).
Parking seems plentiful but I feel like once the Target opens up, the plaza might start to get crowded. It’s located in the corner by the Yogurtland.
I got here while most people were eating dinner so the line wasn’t too long. The line starts outside if the line inside the store is crowded.
The menu is pretty straightforward. The only «problem» was choosing which ice cream with which topping.
I went with a non glazed donut just because I thought that it would be too sweet if I got the glazed. And I played it safe with milk and cereal with fruity pebbles. This combo was good, but it got kinda heavy towards the end. And it didn’t seem like there was a lot of fruity pebbles inside the donut.
My boyfriend got the glazed donut with milk and cereal and cinnamon toast crunch. He really liked it, but also thought that it was getting heavy towards the end.
It does seem like I’m paying for labor ($ 6 for a donut ice cream sandwich? Uh… that’s almost the same price as a chicken bowl at Chipotle.) but there aren’t many other dessert shops where you can find something like this.
I’d give this place 3 stars but the employees were very nice and helpful and patient with our order.

Mrs and I were waiting for my classes to start so we stopped by and grabbed some ice cream. I would give this a solid three stars but parking, portion size and affordability pushed me over to four. We got Cookie Monster, and milk and cereal which went together nicely. We got some free toppings cause milk and cereal comes with flakes. ;)
Haven’t tried the donut thing though. I’m scared of diabetes.

I’m a big fan of Afters, due to their unique flavors and quality. They have many cool flavors, like jasmine milk tea, almond cookie, vietnamese coffee, much more… but my all time favorite is the MILK AND CEREAL with caramelized corn flakes. Ever since I had that, I don’t want to get any other flavors. MILK AND CEREAL IS MY LOVE.
Before this location had a line out the door, but I guess it’s slowed down recently (maybe because of the winter season?) Perhaps it will get busy again during the spring/​summer months while school is in session (since CSULB is soooo closeby).
Oh yes, I should mention that Afters is known for their milky bun, but personally I don’t bother. The bun (glazed or non glazed) is not worth it to me. it just makes your ice cream treat more sweet and more heavy. I just focus on the ice cream… it’s too good.
