After’s Ice Cream in Venice
Afters Ice Cream
Locations: All over LA (this photo was taken at the Venice Beach location)
Afters Ice Cream has tons of tasty flavors and some are bright in color! Cookie Monster ice cream is blue and tastes amazing, but caution, it will temporarily leave your mouth blue! Totally worth it though. The Venice location is nice with a picture-perfect beach background, however, keep in mind ice cream can melt pretty fast!
They also have witty sayings like, “ruining diets everywhere.”
