Titi’s Ice Cream & Treats

I got the banana and it was amazing. I couldn’t believe it was only $ 6, well worth it and the guy at the counter was very nice and accommodating. Only street parking.

I’ve been wanting to try Titi’s forever! I’m a Long Beach local who loves and supports all local, so I decided to finally head over to Titi’s since I love ice cream anyways. Needless to say, I’m a smidge disappointed…
The shop itself:
We went about 30 minutes before closing on a Sunday and it was empty so we didn’t have to deal with a line or crowd. However, it was small and not too appealing to the eye. There are only two high tables. Thank goodness I only went with one other person, but if I went with two or three others, it may have been a problem. With that said, two stars.
Customer Service:
Two young ladies behind the counter. They seemed nice! I couldn’t decide between the banana overload or the brownie overload and they were helpful in deciding. They finished mine decently fast (as I said earlier, there was no crowd) and handed it to me with a smile. Thanks! Overall, nice customer service but nothing amazing. Just basic. Four stars.
Brownie Overload:
$ 7 for a very good amount. Price to portion ratio was perfectly fine. However… price to quality, no way! It was nothing homemade, that’s for sure. The ice cream was nothing amazing or creamy or anything, definitely store bought. The brownies weren’t melt-​in-​your-​mouth good at all. Those were probably store bought as well, because they weren’t soft and had a bland taste to them. If an overload is going to focus on that ingredient, then the ingredient should taste good! They drizzle it in chocolate, which I actually enjoyed (yay). And of course they add whip cream and nuts on top, which you can’t go wrong with. The main surprise in the overload that I enjoyed were the Corn (or Frosted) Flakes near the bottom. It added a good crunch and texture to the overload which everything else had lacked. They should put another layer near the top so it won’t be as boring. Overall, brownies and ice cream weren’t great– not enough variety in tastes (too sweet overall) — frosted flakes were the only pleasant thing in there. 2 stars.
Would I go back? No. Would I recommend to a friend? No. Is that taste worth the price? No.
2 stars.
But if you don’t care about the taste of what you eat and just want to satisfy a gnawing sweet tooth, have fun.

Came for the very tempting looking for pecan cup thing and all the other delicious pictures they have. Seven dollars?! Wow. Ended up settling for a dollar 50 scoop of ice cream in a call, which isn’t a bad deal. I even got whip cream on it. However, it was 50 cents extra, in the amount of cream seen more like it should’ve been a freebie. So that’s right off the bag, but the main problem was that ice cream was not cold at all. Nobody wants to buy ice cream in a gone on that’s falling and dripping out of the cone as ur still working on ur first lick

Went to get a banana split… they don’t even have it on the menu anymore. The girl behind the counter was terrible and slow, backed up the line and it’s hot as hell in there as it is. There were only 2 high top tables, fly flying around in the ice cream, and a selection of only 7 ice creams to choose from. It was over priced and expensive for the serving, for being thrifty brand ice cream, you’re better off just going to rite aid and buying your own toppings for cheaper. Sadly disappointed, all the good reviews are from the previous owner I assume… cause new management sucks! They should really change the reviews around… it’s not fair for these newbies to get all the credit for awesome service and creations.
Oh and the girl used her phone to input my credit card for payment. Super uncomfortable with that.

The ice cream is Thrifty’s brand which is eh, I shared a pecan overload with my bff which comes with ones with one scoop of vanilla & one scoop of butter pecan topped with caramel bananas, whipped cream & pecans. Only one person working who was kind of timid, gave me two dirty spoons so I had to ask for new ones. The bananas were frozen which was weird & hard to eat. Overall it was ok for a $ 7 ice cream treat but I’d definitely rather spend $ 7 somewhere else for quality ice cream. If I wanted Thrifty’s I would get it from rite aid for cheaper & put the caramel & whipped cream on it when I got home. Might be back to try the elote in a cup!

Soooo, where should I start. well, some would considered the neighbor as in the ghetto and not safe but it wasn’t as bad as most ppl think. However, just watch your back ;p
So, when I got to the place for the first time, I thought I was going to have a lot of option of different type of ice cream on the menu. But unfortuantly, they only serve ice cream, ice cream sundae and ice cream overload and other snacks like chip n candy. So I got the strawberry cheesecake overload. I was kind of dissapointed. I’m dissapointed that the strawberry was frozen as ice and there was NO cheesecake bites. I paid 7 dollar for a cup of two scoop of ice cream n no cheesecake bites or fresh strawberries.
However, I will try this spot again. It seem like it’s under a new management. So, I will give them time to get everything set up. Hope they have more option and expand the menu.
see yall soon

Before, when I was first introduced to this establishment, the woman behind the counter was charming and generous with her portions. I wish I would have paid her a Unilocal compliment back then…
As of current, Titi’s is under new management. The woman behind the counter is no longer there and instead had been replaced by a college kid that can barely handle the cashier, never mind prepare me the original Titi’s famous and generous frozen confectionary I was accustomed to. Homeboy didn’t even know what he was doing! He fumbled with my pecans, held back on my bananas, and omitted the mound of generous whipped cream they’re known for! Ahh… the atrocity.
The «OG» Titi’s is why people come back. The new management shouldn’t change what the business is known for. Here’s a thought:
— spruce up the place in keeping with the originals quirky details
— maybe give the employees a fashionable work shirt so the place looks more established
— add additional fun items people can’t refuse
— use the humongous blackboard at the back wall to add all your new and creative creations
— tap on a couple pennies on top of the original item menu cost *shock* (it is a business after all… at the end of the day you’ll need to get yours)
— And, for goodness sake! Bring back that young lady who worked behind the counter! Do you know hard it is to find good service, nowadays?

This place re-​sells Thrifty’s ice cream for jacked up prices. They also had no bananas when half their menu features sundaes with banana in them. JANKIEST ICE CREAM PLACE OF ALL TIME.

Had the brownie overload. Sooooo good. They use thrifty ice cream which is a thumbs up In my book! Diabetic coma for sure! Yum yum lol

O. M. G.
My cup of ice cream might have cost me $ 7.00, but I would have gladly given my first born (don’t worry; I don’t actually have any kids). I got the Oreo. It was amazing. Cookies and cream THRIFTY’S ice cream with chocolate sauce and broken up Oreos. And I checked the cookies to make sure they actually were Oreos. You can’t trust some places not throwing in the off-​brand cookie sandwiches. Which are okay, but if you’re going to call it Oreo, then there better be Oreos in it. And there were! I finished the whole thing, bite by blissful bite. Then, just when I didn’t think it would get any better, at the bottom were a bunch of still-​crunchy corn flakes, soaked in melted ice cream and chocolate sauce! I could have saved the cup my ice cream came in, it was so clean when I finished it… but I digress.
Will definitely be back. The perfect spot for a treat. I’m in love!

Okay, came for a banana split. And the only girl working told us. The bananas are really frozen. So we thought about it and decided let’s try a strawberry overload instead, and she grabs the stuff and says oh, the strawberry are frozen as well. And my boyfriend and I gave up. We chose not to buy anything and the girl working said. «There’s a place on 7^th and MLK that sells banana splits too» hahha… Okay, either she wasn’t in the mood to work and rather push business away by recommending some place else, or this place really sucks cause nothing is fresh!!! Took my butt to DQ instead and was a happy camper!

Won’t be coming here again! I ordered the «banana pecan overload», but yet they didn’t topped my ice cream with pecans. When I asked the girl about the pecans and why did it show pecans on their picture, she said the pictures where not updated. And that picture was taken when they had just opened. Smh. I ended up paying 7 dollars for a cup of two scoops of ice cream and a frozen banana.

I was not at all prepared for the extreme portion of delicious goodness. I opted for the Oreo overload, and it lived up to it’s name. I was impressed with the young lady’s ability to get a lid over the top! All for only $ 7, great deal!

Only place in Long Beach I know where you can get a double scoop of ice cream for $ 1.

Ok, the ice cream is pretty good, generous portions. However once you start looking around the place, you wonder if you should really be eating it!
The facility looks like it has not been taken care of in a very long time. The chairs and tables were dirty, chipped and did not look inviting at all. While I get the theme they were going for, with the walls covered in air brush art, it sorely needs updating. The place needs some TLC. As a result of it’s run down state, the questions start piling up in ones head. Is this place even cleaned? What about the back room? God, I feel like I am on one of those TV shows that shows you how not to run your business. The place really needs to be cleaned up.
The girl that did help us, was nice however the other two, I don’t know if they worked there or not, couldn’t pry themselves from their phones!
Again, the big complaint is that way the place looked, and the fact you have no idea who is working!!!
Won’t be going back anytime soon.

First time I’ve been here was about 2 years ago, bought a chamango and it was good! Revisited a few days ago and I was completely disappointed. I guess they’re now under new management? I ordered a chamango again but what I received didn’t even come close to what I got back then! You couldn’t even tell it was a chamango. It was watered down and big clumps of ice. And Where was the mango? No where to be found… it wasn’t even filled to the top!
I also had a kid, (middle school or teenager?), as the cashier and she struggled to give me back my change. So I decided to help her out and gave her the exact change so she could give me straight dollar bills. As she collects the change from the register, she gets a phone call, stops what shes doing, and answers it! I’m just standing there staring at her as I wait for my change to be given.
All I know is I won’t be coming back. Want chamango or anything of that sorts, go to Las palmitas!

Craving something sweet & Unilocal pulled this place up. I parked on the street but was a bit confused because the place looked like a tattoo shop from the outside. Walked in and were greeted immediately. The ladies working were extremely friendly and helped us make a decision. We went with the Oreo Overload and were extremely satisfied. Definitely coming back again to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Stepped in for an ice cream cone, but left with a Strawberry Cheesecake Overload! Dang this ice cream was good. About 20oz (that’s a Venti at Starbucks) of vanilla ice cream, freshly sliced strawberries, strawberry sauce, topped with peanuts and whipped cream. (Cheesecake was missing, or I couldn’t detect it.) Was a little messy as all this goodness was served in a 16oz cup. Woman working there was so sweet.
Don’t be intimidated by all the tagging and photos on the wall, it makes the place homey.
*If you have kids, bring wet wipes. One for the toys there to play with, and one to bathe after the treat.

Sooooooo deliciously scrumptious!
Good lord this place did not disappoint, when looking for an ice cream joint on our way back from Belmont Shores. The place is small and «hole in the wall» as others described is pretty accurate. There is a chalkboard sign in the back that has everything on their menu.
We ordered a strawberry milk shake (they offer both regular and malt… we chose regular) and a pecan overload, per Unilocalers advice. The nice lady at the counter asked if it was our first time, and she offered us samples of the ice creams.
Strawberry Milkshake– ($ 4.50) she made is with strawberry ice cream, milk and syrup, and added a wafer staw and whipped cream. It was good, but not nearly as good as the pecan overload…
Pecan OverLoad– ($ 7)wow, the buttter pecan ice cream was creamy and tasty, and when added to layers of caramel sauce, freshly sliced bananas, whipped cream and topped with nuts, oh my, what a delicious piece of ice cream heaven! It was HUGE and I split it with my husband, but we still couldn’t finish it.
You should so try this little spot, it is so worth it. They have a very small area to eat, so this is more of a place to take to go, also they take credit cards but there is a $ 0.75 charge, so you might want to bring cash.

This hole-​in-​the-​wall is definitely a great find. The good reviews do not disappoint.
Parking is available on the street for free or metered. There is one space in front for free 30min parking. Location is a little hard to find but it’s right on Orange Ave. The shop is on the small side, but there is definitely enough space for small groups to sit. There’s a ton to look at on the walls and a ton of air-​brushing done there so it was pretty cool! Loved the red paint!
The service here is excellent. The lady that took our order was super friendly and patient with us. Her little boy was super cute too!
I’m not sure if they make the ice cream or buy it, but either way, it’s wonderful. We ended up getting 2 overloads which set us back around $ 10. We got the buy one get one half off deal with it so there was no question on whether or not to buy 2. Anyways, we ended up getting the strawberry cheesecake and the banana pecan overload. The strawberry cheesecake had layers of strawberry syrup, strawberries, strawberry cheesecake ice cream, and whip cream. Dang, overload for sure. The pecan banana had layers of butter pecan ice cream, chopped pecans, sliced bananas, and whip cream. This one was my favourite of the 2 mainly because I prefer the nutty flavour but both of them were delicious and sweet. They also sell Belgian waffles, ice cream by itself, smoothies, and some other nice treats!
Dessert cravings satisfied.
