Frequently asked

Where is the best ice cream in LA?

It depends on the neighborhood — Salt & Straw dominates with multiple locations, but Bumsan in Koreatown, McConnell's in Pasadena, Sweet Rose on Sawtelle, and Saffron & Rose in Westwood each push the form. Conequest lets you rank them yourself.

Does Conequest cover non-Salt & Straw shops?

Absolutely. The catalog is sourced from OpenStreetMap — every craft shop, gelateria, soft-serve stand, and truck across LA County. Salt & Straw is just one entry.

Can I track Persian ice cream?

Yes — log flavors like saffron rose at Saffron & Rose with format tags and dietary filters. Filter your collection by format or origin.

Are LA ice cream trucks tracked?

Community-reported truck sightings appear as 🚚 pins on the map for 4 hours after submission. Anyone can report.
