They don't always have it--maybe just in summer?--but they had made up an amount of lavender ice cream, and had even pre-packed some pints in the freezer section. I recommend it! Tue Jul 04 02:43:26 -0700 2006 14859 George 1 1725673 I had it two weekends ago. I thought it was delicious. I also really liked the black cherry ice cream. If anyone hasn't been there, I highly recommend it myself. It's a truely unique place that has really creative and novel ice creams.

Tue Jul 04 05:23:44 -0700 2006 1725582 11027 Alice 1 1726203 Two months ago, my finacee promised to make me a home baked ultrea chocolate chip cookie in a pizza pan mounded with Mashti's ginger rosewater (and possibly a little mango on the side.) Next time you go, try a mashti, or one of the yummy banana splits! Tue Jul 04 17:48:04 -0700 2006 1725582 11201 Diana 1 1726615 does mashti's have a straight rosewater ice cream without the pistachios? the one at rose market in westwood did and it was dang good; i'd assume mashti's does too but i can't quite recall. Wed Jul 05 00:33:16 -0700 2006 1725582 11521 rameniac 2 1726631 Yes, they got creamy rosewater, non-dairy rosewater, and rosewater ice. Haven't tried the lavender, will have to--my fave remains the pomegranate, when they have it. http://www.mashtimalones.com/ Wed Jul 05 00:55:28 -0700 2006 1726615 10621 PayOrPlay 1 1726799 Thanks for the website. I went back tonight, the 4th of July. They still have lavender. Bought another pint. Hand-packed this time: seemed better than the one out of the freezer, which was pretty great to begin with. I'm glad all you hounds haven't bumrushed MM's to eat all the lavender, so I can get some more! Also picked up a pint of the sour cherry faludeh. Homeless guy started yelling at the guys working: "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU MADE SHAKES! SINCE WHEN DO YOU MAKE SHAKES!" They make shakes. Wed Jul 05 05:44:50 -0700 2006 1725582 14859 George 1 1727448 Thanks for letting us know! Lavender is one of my favoritist things in the world. I'm running over there today. Wed Jul 05 17:39:00 -0700 2006 1725582 13957 slacker 2 1727830 Just checked their website--they now have a location in Glendale! Wed Jul 05 20:06:24 -0700 2006 1727448 13957 slacker 3 1727858 The Glendale location is not nearly as good -- they have issues with the transport, and sometimes issues with the freezers in the shop, and so it ends up being melted and refrozen -- which is no good. I can't recommend the Glendale branch -- it's worth the trip to La Brea for me. Wed Jul 05 20:25:20 -0700 2006 1727830 10811 Das Ubergeek 1 1727524 I've also bought rosewater saffron ice cream (not Mastro's brand) at Bristol Farms. And, I've had rose gelato from Ciao Bella. Wed Jul 05 18:12:30 -0700 2006 1725582 11006 chica 1 1728566 The new glelato place on Sunset in Silver Lake had a lavender/rose gelato last week that was divine (if Mashti's has run out).
