White Lyon Handcrafted Ice Cream & Cookies is not your average dessert stop. Sitting pretty at 1973 Foothill Parkway, Suite 114 in Corona, California, this spot is all about celebrating life’s little moments with a scoop in one hand and a warm cookie in the other. If you’re looking for a place where dessert is both an art and a reason to smile, you’ve just found your new favorite hangout.

A Place Where Dessert Means Joy

Walk through the doors and you’ll notice the vibe right away. The walls are playful, the seating is unique, and there’s a big, bright sign that says it all: Desserts That Bring Joy. This isn’t just a business—it’s a passion project from founders Christian White and Justin Lyon. Their inspiration? Family, tradition, and a love for treats that goes back generations. Christian’s grandfather once sold Danish desserts to fellow immigrants, and now that spirit lives on in every batch of ice cream and every tray of cookies.

Handcrafted Flavors That Keep You Guessing

Forget the usual vanilla-or-chocolate debate. White Lyon is all about bold, creative flavors that surprise and delight. With over 80 flavors in rotation, there’s always something new to try. Some flavors are classics, others are wild cards, and all of them are made in-house with care. Here are a few crowd-pleasers:

• Saturday Matinee: Buttered popcorn ice cream for movie lovers who want their snack and dessert in one scoop.

• Flying Purple People Eater: A creamy ube flavor that’s as fun to eat as it is to say.

• Smashing Pumpkin Spice: Cinnamon, spice, and everything nice—fall in a cone.

• Carnival Cloud: Cotton candy ice cream that brings back memories of fairs and Ferris wheels.

• Southern Buttah Pecan: Buttery, nutty, and just the right amount of crunch.

The menu changes with the seasons, so there’s always an excuse to come back and see what’s new. If you’re feeling adventurous, ask about the secret menu. The “Afterparty” is a local legend—six big scoops of ice cream, perfect for sharing or just treating yourself after a long week.

Cookies That Steal the Show

Ice cream is only half the story. The cookies here are baked fresh, warm, and ready to be paired with your favorite scoop. Try the BFF (Best Friends Forever): a warm cookie topped with ice cream. It’s the kind of combo that makes you wonder why you ever settled for just one dessert at a time. Each bite is soft, gooey, and made to order.

A Space for Everyone

White Lyon isn’t just for kids (although they love it here). The shop is designed for families, friends, and anyone who wants to enjoy a treat together. There’s plenty of seating, including big tables for groups. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always ready with a recommendation or a smile. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, finishing up a soccer game, or just need a pick-me-up, this is a place where everyone feels welcome.

Easy to Find, Hard to Leave

Getting to White Lyon is simple. It’s right off the 15 freeway—exit at El Cerrito Road and head west on Foothill Parkway. You’ll spot it in a lively shopping center, with plenty of parking (including spots for those who need a little extra space). If you’re grabbing dessert after dinner nearby, White Lyon is the perfect stop to make your night even sweeter.
