More Than Just Dessert: The Story Behind Happy Ice

In the world of frozen treats, we’ve all been familiar with the classic choices: ice cream, gelato, sorbet. But what if there was a dessert that offered the best of all worlds? A treat with the creamy, rich texture of ice cream, the light, fruity flavor of sorbet, and the refreshing coolness of shaved ice—all in one? That’s exactly what Happy Ice is, and our story is as vibrant and flavorful as the desserts we serve.
Happy Ice was born not out of a business plan, but from a dream and a deep-seated desire to spread happiness. Our founder, Lemeir Mitchell, left his hometown of Philadelphia after facing personal hardships, determined to chase his dream of becoming a tattoo artist in Los Angeles. While building his new life, he was struck by a powerful feeling of nostalgia for a beloved childhood treat: Philadelphia water ice. Realizing that the West Coast was missing this essential piece of East Coast culture, he decided to create his own version, combining his passion for art and his love for his roots.
Happy Ice is a culmination of Lemeir’s journey—a symbol that even after difficult times, you can find a way to bring joy to others. He’s not just a business owner; he’s a “happiness ambassador,” committed to a mission of being a “driving force of happiness in every community we serve.” Our purpose is to bring people together, creating a space for unity, laughter, and happy memories.
