"When you don’t have the patience to wait in line at Diddy Riese, head a few blocks south of Wilshire to Saffron & Rose. The tiny spot has been cranking out thick, aromatic Persian ice cream for almost four decades, and still has lines out the door. First-timers can’t leave without trying the saffron-pistachio flavor, but we never leave without getting at least one scoop of the orange blossom as well." - nikko duren, brant cox
