Spin

Love this little spot! The employees are super fast at making orders and on point with customer service. The drinks are always soo yummy! I am totally addicted!

This is probably one of my favorite ice cream and desserts shop. However I feel like the price is unnecessary-​ly pricey and there place can be cleaner. The ice creams are really amazing though, their shaved ice is a little below average, and snow cones, I didn’t really enjoy.

I’ve been here a few times now and had a great experience each time. They renamed some of the sizes. The smallest size is UFO/Kid’s and that’s plenty big for an after dinner dessert. My first time, I got the small and that was too big and I didn’t finish it.
There’s a wall of pre-​selected and paired flavors, but you usually get to choose your ice cream flavor. I like how Spin uses Thrifty (Rite Aid) brand ice cream, which is quality. One of my favorites is the root bear option, tastes just like a root beer float, but better.
Service has always been friendly, limited seating inside, but people come and go quickly. Side note, Spin sells milk tea and boba, but I have yet to try. I shall try their drinks at my next visit!

Absolutely delicious, refreshing and overall yum!

Obsessed with this place. Perfect to have on a hot day. Staff is always really nice and I love the stamp cards :) blue vanilla shaved ice with condensed milk is the best!

Wow it was a great surprise and great discovery so delicious and well priced. Just a tip you definitely want to share the specials

So good $ 5.25 Mango Shaded Ice Milk it will take at least 3 – 4 people to finish this they have 5 flavors to choose from

My friends and I tried it out and weren’t too impressed. The mochi balls were absolutely rock hard and they were a chore to chew through. The service was friendly enough, but the actual cold treats weren’t anything amazing. It didn’t help that one of my friends had a stomach ache right after we ate here.

I decided to try this place out after passing so many times, this place is kinda small in a strip mall so parking is no problem there is no patio but they have two chairs sitting in the front (no table), the staff was very welcoming and friendly as I enter, it took me a min. to order because there is a large variety of Items to choose from along with the difference flavors plus smoothies, coffee, and Ice cream, I ordered a large #1 spin and rainbow which was cherry, blue raspberry, pineapple shave Ice that was delicious the shave Ice was so light and fluffy… taste just like snow, there are a few tables and chairs that was not clean (sticky) gonna go back and try other flavors.

This is a great place to go with family, friends, after dinner, after movies… perfect when u r not quite ready to go home.
Staff is very friendly and patient… menu can be overwhelming because of all the options. Love that they are young and fun.
The ice cream is amazing because it the thrifty brand which is the best ice cream in the world. Shaved ice is yummy be careful what flavor u choose ;) Tigers blood is my favorite.
Only negative, which I hate to mention but needs to be said… They need to choose a new cleaning agent tht is scent free. Otherwise an awesome place… oh and make sure u get a punch card to get a free dessert

Great shaved ice place! The ice is soft and good size portions. They were cash only… not sure if it was just temporary.

This place is AMAZING! Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Usually come at least 2 times a week to get our usual. I think the staff already know us as one of the «usuals».
We get: Mango and cherry shaved ice with coconut pineapple ice cream with sour spray, hula girl with vanilla ice cream no sour spray, and you can’t forget the pineapple slush one with sour spray and one without! Btw we love the stamp card! Good prices!
Only down fall sometimes they don’t taken credit because of system going down. So carry cash!

Mirror mirror on the wall, who has the best shave ice of them all? SPIN! Now this is a place everyone was flock to when it’s hot! They keep it COOL. Let me tell you about my experience because it took me for a SPIN!
It was a hot day in SoCal, so I think to myself, what can I indulge in to keep cool? Should I take the boring way and get the ever so hyped boba? No! But what else could there be? I jumped into my blazing hot car and went for a drive to find a dessert place to satisfy my needs. Luckily, I passed by this big intriguing sign that said «SPIN» and I said, why not? I turned my car around, drove back, parked, and continued on my endeavor for a tasty and cold treat. As I opened the doors, I already knew I was about to have the experience of my life. The décor was so pleasant that I told myself «I went for a drive in Gardena and ended up in Hawaii!»
The man standing behind the cash register was extremely welcoming. His shiny septum piercing, and his majestic flowing mane tucked ever so subtly under his hat was a clean, hip, and dashing look. His jawline was chiseled so well and his tan skin was radiant. He opened his mouth and spoke «Hi welcome!» And every experience after that was just pure excellence. I needed help deciding which flavor to get and he helped me in more ways than one! This man was a great hard worker obviously enjoys working there! Great service!
As my order came out, I was able to place my eyes on such a glowing piece of art was a sight to be seen! I picked it up, and slowly it entered my mouth. They should really write a disclaime because I was not expecting to go for an icy ride beyond my most wonderful dreams! I wanted to cool off from the heat but instead I was swept away, and I escaped to a crispy and cool winter wonderland. Oh how delicious, oh how scrumptious! Goodness, it was the most pleasant dessert I’ve ever had!
I walked out of that place with the biggest smile of my life! Will come back for the shave ice and for the friendly service given to me by the well built man with the nose ring (I’ll call him the bull!) I’ll tell ya, this place was the coolest thing I’ve ever set my ICE on!

Gardena is ghetto. I get that. But that doesn’t mean you lower your standards to your environment. Shave ice is simple: it should be cut by snow, not crushed. If you don’t get that right, it doesn’t matter how good the syrup is.
It’s hard for me to remember the flavors because all I remember is crunch!
It should be called snow cone because that’s what it is. If you haven’t tasted the real stuff then you probably don’t know any better. But since I have, this is not the good stuff.
The specials looked better, but we didn’t get that so I can’t comment on it. With other competition around I don’t see myself going here again.

LOVE love love love it.
The blueberry shaved ice with mochi and condensed milk hits the spot for both me and my little girl. Perfect for hot weather! I tried the Hawaiian shaved ice too but I prefer the blueberry one. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I prefer this over fro-​yo or coldstone any day. Don’t let the negative reviews drive you away.

This is the best shaved ice I’ve ever had. I’ve had shaved iced since I was a little girl. I got the #6 it has a blue flavoring, some other color and condensed milk. Very delicious. The ice is like the fresh snow on the ground. It is finely cut so it melts in your mouth. They also have boba. Give it a try! Try it on a hot summer day! You’ll enjoy it.

Just discovered «snow» shaved ice yesterday in Santa Clarita and was craving some tonight. I Unilocaled and found this place. Thank you Unilocal!
We arrived 30 min before closing and ordered their matcha green tea special spin ice. It came with a scoop of ice cream of your choice and we picked pistachio.
The snow ice was so light and fluffy and not too sweet. This is the perfect summer treat.

So maby I’m on the late freight on this spot but I came in and ordered the mango shaved ice W condensed milk, Mochi and Auki beans. All separate but I wanted to get the whole experience! Overall, I thought it was just– Meh! There was just very little mangoe flavor to the ice, and the addition of the toppings did nothing really to help or enhance the flavor! Since there’s so much ice, I tried various combos and with the items alone and got nothing! Just tasted like ice and whatever I put on top of it! Should be mango essence ice! I love ice, but if I wanted to taste it in its regular form I wouldn’t pay $ 4 I’d go to my freezer where it’s free99!!!

Spin is a bright spot — filled with happy people and pleasant employees — certainly a treat. It is sugar-​coated, not figuratively but literally — watch for calories in ice cream on-​the-​bottom, flavors, toppings, and sprays of sourness on-​the-​top.
A small size cup (8oz) of shaved ice is zero calories. With a combination of flavors (add 2 tablespoons of flavoring or 1 ounce) add 65 calories each, then ice cream, whipped cream … dieters & diabetics be warned.
An enjoyable taste treat (Hula Girl) upon this, my first visit:
The fellow Unilocal companionship & continuous smiles of the staff added to the afternoon. Maybe it’s a sugar high?

Located in a small plaza at the corner of Western Ave. and 162^nd Street, Spin offers cool and refreshing shave ice and snow desserts. Enjoy a pre-​set combination or make your own! They have also added boba, smoothie, and coffee drinks to their menu.
Employees are friendly, and they usually get you your order pretty quickly. There are a few tables inside to sit at, though the tables and floors are often sticky and need to be cleaned more often.
** Steps for Ordering:
1.) Choose your size — UFO, Small, Medium, or Large
2.) Choose your goodies — For $ 0.50 each, you can add azuki beans, mochi balls, or a scoop of ice cream
3.) Choose up to 3 flavors — Over 30 to choose from, including unique flavors like Hawaiian Punch, Lychee, Passion Fruit, Spearmint, and Tiger’s Blood
4.) Choose your toppings — First one is free; each additional topping is $ 0.25. Choose from Sweetened Condensed Milk, Li Hing Mui Powder, Pico de Gallo Powder, Sour Spray, Caramel, or Marshmallow.
I usually order one of two things:
— Green Tea Spin Special — Includes Shaved Snow with mochi and condensed milk. If you eat in, they serve it to you on a plate, and you definitely get WAY more than if you order to-​go in a cup. Ice is smooth and has a creamier texture than regular shave ice.
— Shave Ice with watermelon syrup, condensed milk, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream — The ice here is shaved finely, so it melts in your mouth. The texture mixes nicely with the ice cream, and the condensed milk gives an added milky sweetness (as if there wasn’t enough sugar already, haha).
