50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Coronado

“Crème brûlée gelato is addictive!“

“Great ice cream! The cookie dough sundae was awesome!“

“If you visit in the off season there is a great outdoor seating area just a block NE of here. Typically closed till late afternoon and in the off season. I think it was a burger joint. Locals sit around here and visit quiet often. They are very friendly once you get to know them and they you.“

“My Caffee & Pistachio combination was awesome 👍😍“

“I visited here after a walking tour of the area. The Passion Fruit Sorbet was excellent. Service was friendly and quick. The one weakness is probably price to value ratio, as you don't get much for $8. It was tasty though! They have some very cute popsicles!!

Vegetarian options: The sorbet is dairy free.

Dietary restrictions: My wife is gluten-free and had no trouble finding something tasty.“

“I live in Arizona and walking my found this place. To sum it up I’m addicted to this ice cream. Every time we go to San Diego I have this ice cream 2 to 3 times a day.“

“Fantastic, velvety smooth creative flavors and made from scratch! They also switch out their flavors every 2 weeks or so! Fun concept, wonderful staff. Highly recommend. Putting San Diego on the food map :)“

“The perfect treat on a hot day. And now that we know the deliver , I’m getting gelato at work.“

“This is by far one of the best ice cream shops I’ve been to! The ice cream is phenomenal and is all made in house. The owner Dave was so kind and helpful! I will absolutely be back to this stop next time I’m in town! P.s. don’t sleep on the mushroom ice cream. It is BEYOND good!“

“Yum!!! Our group of 6 shared one Chocolate Banana Bingsoo after an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ dinner, and it was the perfect size and sweet treat to end the night. Great balance of light, cold, sweet, and salty!

Line was out the door, and inside was very busy on a Thursday evening around 8/9 PM.

Would highly recommend for dessert!“

“Had a great experience here. The service was good & ordering was easy. I ordered the ice churro & 9t was delicious- great combination of hot churros on top of ice cream!!
Had a great experience here & would recommend to family & friends!!🍦🧁🍦“

“I was nervous about the flavors, mostly because I didn’t know what they were! But was able to taste test and decided on the Quattroberry and stracciatella. Delicious! Great price- $6.50 for two big scoops! Definitely wanted to go back. Try the dragon fruit/lemon one- super tart and so good!“

“STELLAR service, flavors & vibe! Came here directly after some condescending service at a nearby restaurant but our interaction with Kevin at Salt & Straw turned the entire day around!! Kevin's ability to make every customer feel like the most valued human on the planet took me from a pretty annoyed mood (from my other experience) to over the moon happiness & excitement in less than 60 seconds!
We tried a handful of flavors & EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! Kevin asked if we were open to try certain pairings & guided us to some super yummy options we probably wouldn't have considered. Super knowledgeable & my palate appreciates you 👍😎
This place does an amazing job creating unique flavor profiles & an even better job blending them in an exceptionally complimentary way. Super high quality product with service that exceeds any possible expectation!
I've sent their 6 packs as gifts before & received fantastic feedback... always wanted to try them myself & today's experience sealed my loyalty!
These guys have 100% of my business in the frozen treats department.
Thanks Kevin for a TOP NOTCH experience & for making my day better 🙌“

“Conveniently located right next to where we had BBQ, Sunday Ice Cream was an easy and sweet stop after dinner. The shop has tons of creative Asian-inspired flavors that caught our eye right away — from sesame to matcha to taro. We tried the sesame ice cream, and it was creamy, rich, and awesomely delicious. The place was packed but the line moved quickly, and the staff were friendly and efficient.

Parking, on the other hand, was a bit of a hassle. The area is super busy, so we ended up parking in a nearby paid garage — not too bad for the convenience. Overall, a fun and tasty experience, especially if you’re into Asian-style flavors and want a nice treat after your meal!“

“The best ice cream in San Diego hands down“

“Best ice cream I've ever had!
Cheesecake filled with salted caramel, dipped in white chocolate, drizzled with milk chocolate and had to have the sprinkles too!
Friendly service, highly recommended!

“This place has the best ice cream in the area 100%. Home made. Fresh. The flavors are bursting in your mouth and each flavor has its own unique taste. Over 40 different flavors to choose from. The gentleman at the front window was very nice and courteous. He explained the flavors to us because there were so many to choose from. I was able to try 8-9 flavors before settling on 8 I really liked. I went with the 4 scoop sampler x 2 and got all 8 choices. Mainly stuck with chocolate because it’s my favorite. I highly recommend checking this place out. Also, prices were very good. Can’t beat it.“

“Great spot for the perfect evening treat 🍦“

“I work at Sisters pizza. So I decided to go to Jennis for the first time to try the ice-cream since it’s in the area of NorthPark why not? Aloooot of different flavors. They handed me a tiny heavy spoon. I was like oh wow fancy haha. The gentleman helping me was nice. I was kinda overwhelmed with all the different flavors but I decided to choose 2 but the guy got one of them wrong . Didn’t wanted to make it a bit deal but 1 star off for that. Tipped also. If you want to try for the first time I say u should! But they are super tiny portions I think for 2 scoops was like $8 dls but small. The guy was friendly but he was kinda serious looking“

“It’s nice to have soft serve in the hood!!“

“Their homemade ice cream“

“I live in Arizona and walking my found this place. To sum it up I’m addicted to this ice cream. Every time we go to San Diego I have this ice cream 2 to 3 times a day.“

“We found Cabetos a few years ago at a farmers market. Ever since then if we ever see them somewhere- it’s a must have treat. We recently had a grand opening event for our new business and had them cater. They were awesome to work with. Weston, who was at our event was so fun and EVERYONE loved the ice cream. I highly recommend to find them at a farmers market near you or book them for your next event. I now need to go to their new store! So fun!“

“Delicious malts and delicious food! Homemade French fries and home made ranch dressing“

“Our favorite in San Diego! They always have unique and fun flavor pairings of froyo to go along with the classics (dole pineapple, Julian apple pie, and a Dubai Chocolate mix for example) and the toppings bar is always really well stocked. Super kind owner and staff that makes you happy to support local.“

“Perfect for a hot day! We tried the sundae with Mexican chocolate ice cream, almonds and churros. It was so so so good! It’s a decent size, big enough to share. We also got a pint to go with the guava sorbet and tamarind sorbet. Both sorbet flavors were so refreshing. I’d like to visit again and try the lemon sorbet!“

“The best, smoothest texture, greatest flvor gelato in San Diego and I've tried them all. Chocolate hazelnut is my favorite but the strawberry snd spumoni are also great. Outdoor streetside seating or try the upstairs room (stairs are outside) to watch the planes land. Lots of nearby restaurants to try beforehand. Other desserts available as well.“

“Ok, I am from NY and love pizza. I am not a NYC pizza snob though and welcome all iterations of 'za! I have to say that this pizza is probably the best I have ever had of its type. They are "Roman" slices, meaning focaccia crust. Variety of slice options are insane with creative combinations that are not only imaginative, but insanely delicious. Slices are cooked upon ordering for supreme freshness. I especially like the Lussuria - prosciutto, black pepper, mashed potato, mozzarella and olive oil. (I NEVER thought I would like mashed potato on a slice, but it's insanely good.) The help here is amazing as well. Caesar was working the oven and he gave great suggestions and explained the product well. Very inviting and definitely steered me in the right direction. Need gluten free? They got it! Will make a GF slice for you right on the spot. I challenge anyone to have just one slice. I had to go back for 2 more. Enjoy!“

“Let's just say this.... I'm addicted. So yummy ?. I always get a medium chocolate cone, and I literally can't stop. The ice cream cone is 3x the size of McDonald's or Chic Fil a . The taste is much creamier and tastee. The place is always busy no matter what time I go. It's absolutely a local favorite. You can dine in, sit outside, or go. They have food also, but I always get ice cream. I'm ? sure the food is as good, based on the constant flow of happy customers.“

“Had to Sundays. Something…salted Carmel and mint Sunday. Both were so evil (good!).
Enjoyed the sweet middle of the day treat.

Had to take away one star because when we went to the counter to order, the dude was on his cell. He saw me and put it down, and didn't say anything. So, I just stared at him for about 7 seconds until he greeted is and ask for our order.

The place was super clean and my service dog was able to lay down and wait/“

“The best ice cream with super unique flavors. Highly recommend!“

“The flavor of the ice cream is worth the $$$ that we paid for it My favorite flavors are great golden pistachio and butter pecan“

“bomb.com !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Super fresh, delicious and nutritious!!! The fruit in the açai bowl was super fresh and it was nice to have a dessert option high in protein (PB and various nuts) and all natural sugar. My partner really enjoyed their milkshake and smoothies. Thank you Nancy and team!“

“Very good and authentic Mexican food owned and operated by a great family! Viva Cristo Rey!“

“Fantastic ice cream and fantastic service! This was my first time visiting this shop after passing by several times and observing lines out the door. My ice cream did NOT disappoint! I chose Blueberry Cobbler, which was excellent, and I can’t wait to try some other incredible flavors. The staff were friendly and efficient. 10/10 recommend!“

“They have great flavors and toppings.“

“Best Ice cream in San Diego“

“Been coming here for 25 years! Best frozen yogurt!!“

“Just received these as a gift ! Beautiful packaging! Great taste!“

“muy buenos sus productos“

“I got a Snicker doodle and White chocolate macadamia nut with Vanilla filling and it was sublime. Every bite was mmmmmm good. As the cinnamon, vanilla and macadamia nuts fused into peak delicious delight. My wife went all in on the blue options as any Percy fan can appreciate. She very much enjoyed it as well.“

“D lux la nieve“

“Stumbled upon this lovely little place while walking on Little Italy area. On stepping in you are greeted by the several paletas from fruit to milk based flavors on the counter. Place has a nice vibe and is spacious. They also have customizable topping options available for a surcharge.

Coffee flavor was amazing and had a center of leche, which nicely balanced out the strong coffee flavor. Loved the pistachio paleta.. it wasn’t overpowered by sugar, had a nutty flavor that let pistachio shine! Highly recommend the place.“

“friendly staff and everything we ordered was delicious“

“Súper recomendado este lugar aparte de toda la variedad de Delicias que tienen , serás atendido por una persona súper amable y agradable el Señor Enrique fue un placer llegar y conocerlo“

“I had such an awesome experience at Cowabunga Ice Cream! Mick, Gabe, and Emma K were hands down the nicest, friendliest people I’ve ever met at an ice cream shop. They greeted me with such a warm and genuine welcome that it instantly made me feel at home. You can tell they truly care about making customers happy.
The atmosphere was fun, upbeat, and inviting — the kind of place that makes you want to hang out for a while (and definitely come back again!). Great people, great vibes, and of course, AMAZING ice cream.
Thanks Mick, Gabe, and Emma K for making my day!“

“Yummay cookies 🥰🍪🥰 Looking foward to having this in the future 🥰“
