Fosselman's Ice Cream Company is a historic ice cream company based in Alhambra, California, located at 1824 W. Main Street,[1] that has been owned and operated by the same family for three generations.[2] Although the present company was started in 1937, the company can trace it roots to a related family business founded in 1919.[3]

In 1919, Christian Anthony Fosselman created Fosselman's, Inc., to manufacture ice cream in Waverly, Iowa. Five years later, Fosselman relocated with his family to Southern California to found a wholesale dairy business in Pasadena, called Fosselman Creamery that also delivered milk, butter, cream, and ice cream directly to families in the San Gabriel Valley through a fleet of company-owned trucks.[4][5]
In 1937, Fosselman sold the creamery and started an ice cream shop in South Pasadena called Fosselman's Ice Cream Company that made ice cream on the premise.[5] Additional storefronts were opened in Highland Park (1941), and Glendale, with a production facility in Alhambra.[6][4] All but the Alhambra location, also an ice cream parlor, closed in the 1970s.[4] Also in the 1970s, Jelly Belly creator David Klein rented a part of Fosselman's to promote and sell his jelly beans, then in their nascence.[7]
Since the 1980s, Fosselman brothers John and Chris, grandsons of founder Christian, have run the company.[8] The company also supplies product to approximately 500 outlets, from "high-end restaurants to food trucks to retirement homes."[4]
In 2015, the company introduced soft serve ice cream, soft serve custard, and milkshakes as part of its repertoire.[9] In 2019, Fosselman's opened a new branch, called The Ice Cream Shop, in Glendora.[10]

In addition to producing and carrying such classic ice cream flavors as chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, Fosselman's also features exotic flavors such as taro, ube, and lychee, a nod to the majority Asian population in Alhambra. Some seasonal flavors include fresh peach, sweet corn elote, and watermelon sorbet.[11] Previous flavors include black sesame, dulche de leche, horchata, matcha green tea, oaxacan chocolate and red bean.[9]

The Los Angeles Times called Fosselman's "the Alhambra emperors of ice cream".[4] The British newspaper The Guardian called Fosselman's the "Best place to drink: Milkshakes".[12]
