Patch Picks: Time for Ice Cream

From sorbet to sundaes, Patch found five great local spots to get your fix of the frozen treat.

, 711 Foothill Blvd., offers a menu of frozen yogurt cups, cones, pies, cakes and creations. Special fat-free flavors change weekly. This week, stop in to try a non-dairy mango or classic peanut butter treat. Full menu options and flavors are listed on Penguins' wesbite. The shop is open 10 a..m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and until 10:30 p.m. Friday. Sunday hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Just a short drive for a great treat is Paradis, 2323 Honolulu Ave., Montrose. Paradis is a Danish store with only two shops in the United States, both in the Los Angeles area. The shop prides itself on mixing the freshest ingredients into ice cream and sorbets daily. See Paradis' website for lots of information and mouth-watering photos.

, 468 Foothill Blvd., focuses on European-style frozen yogurt with lots of toppings to select. Add fresh fruit onto a cup of dark chocolate swirl for a delightful and decadent treat. Dolci Mango has a small seating area so your creation doesn't melt before it hits your mouth.

Some of the best restaurants in Los Angeles serve Bulgarini Gelato. Lucky for La Cañadans, Buglarini's shop is just a short field trip away at 749 E Altadena Drive, Altadena. Bulgarini's hand-crafted gelatos come in flavors ranging from old school vanilla to olive oil and rosemary - even goat milk gelato is offered. See the shop's website for more information, inlcuding details on their movie nights.

Take a break in the shade with a cool treat. Patina's cafe in offers a few ice cream options on it's menu. Garden members always get a 10 percent discount at the cafe. Have a Haagen-Dazs and then walk it off with a brisk stroll through the gardens.
