Paletas & Ice Cream near Claremont
La Michoacana Tradicional is about four minutes from Claremont Village and five from the Claremont Colleges — a family-owned paletería on Arrow Hwy where we make our paletas by hand, right in the shop. It’s an easy study break for 5C students, a quick stop after dinner in the Village, and the right reward after hiking the Claremont Loop on a hot day.
