“Excellent gelato shop right in Del Mar. Tried dark chocolate, pistachio, strawberry and mango. Some of the best anywhere including Italy and US. Please open in Laguna Niguel! Amazing, but chocolate outlandish! Don't be fooled, not a hat store!”

“Had a wonderful experience here today! We were helped by a very helpful, efficient and kind-hearted employee named Luke. While enjoying my yogurt, I saw that he went above and beyond for a couple of very young girls (maybe 4?) who accidentally dropped their sample cups on the floor. Without being noticed by their mom or even being asked by anyone, he stopped the girls from reusing the fallen cups and kindly handed them brand-new ones with a sweet smile. It’s rare to see such genuine patience and customer care with kids. He also helped other customers and handled their questions quite well. Great service—we'll definitely be back!”

“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!”

“Came around 5pm on a Monday and there was just one other person in line. I was looking forward to trying the Pandan and the matcha but both were not for me. I ended up getting a split scoop of the Jasmine (more on the floral side) and Thai tea which were both good. They have a rotating menu and I liked the variety/unique flavors they offered. Smaller space with a few seats, friendly service and generous portions”

“Every time I visit Salt & Straw, I’m reminded that ice cream can truly be an experience, not just dessert. The flavors are incredibly creative while still feeling intentional and balanced… each scoop tastes thoughtfully crafted with high-quality ingredients rather than just being unique for the sake of it. What really sets this location apart, though, is the staff. Everyone was genuinely warm, patient, and excited to let us sample as many flavors as we wanted until we found the perfect combination. You never feel rushed, even when it’s busy, and that level of hospitality makes all the difference. The shop itself is bright, clean, and has such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or just visiting La Jolla, this is one of those places that’s absolutely worth stopping for. It somehow manages to feel nostalgic and adventurous at the same time. I’ll definitely be coming back, there are too many incredible flavors left to try. 🍦🌿”

“The community is very fortunate to have Anthony and his team to make this area of the campground a place for everyone to enjoy. The views, facilities and lets not forget the music and giving artists a venue to share thier talents. What a Great venue for locals and the surrounding communities. I would like to add, it is very difficult for Anthony and his team to keep this business going. I have notice a few people and groups are bringing in thier own food and drinks. This makes it very difficult for the Campstore to stay in business. All the things they do for the holidays and Jurassic Animals for the kids, this cost a lot. Can we just enjoy something special that they have built for all of us to enjoy. Let's support the staff, management and leadership with our patronage.”

“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!”

“We used Criscito’s Pizza at the welcome party before my daughter’s wedding in Fallbrook, in August. These guys were so professional, the beautiful layout of the pizzas, and so many varieties. Our guests LOVED these pizza. The guys were working in 98 degree weather, with smiles on their faces. Just an amazing experience with them. I had never even been to their Carlsbad restaurant, it was just a lucky coincidence that we found each other. I will definitely be dining in their restaurant soon AND for my next big party. Bravo Crisito’s!”

“The flavors are great, but they don’t do pre packaged pints, they hand pack them by the order, and it was kind of disappointing that they don’t actually fill them all the way. One of the pints we got could have easily fit another half scoop or so, it looks like she smoothed down the scoop, then just left it fairly shy of being filled, instead of adding enough to fill the container. The price was $15/pint.”

“A pretty cool, straightforward matcha cafe in Kearny Mesa next to Brothers Mexican and Chaba Thai Kitchen. When you enter, you’re hit with the cool A/C, medium-loud contemporary music playlist, and a usually vacant interior filled with small tables. You order at the kiosks in the front right of the store next to the counter. It’s pretty much self-service matcha. I’ve only had the matcha latte and the matcha tea. Both are really tasty, smooth, and reasonably earthy. The matcha latte is best iced with 50% sweetness and whole milk. Super refreshing without being overly sweet or masking the flavor profile of the matcha too much. For some, the self-service aspect of this place might be a turnoff, but for me it’s kind of a nice reprieve from your typical monotonous service-worker interactions. Overall, really good matcha latte and matcha tea, a bit pricey (but that’s matcha in 2026), and pleasant atmosphere.”

“We had the most awesome experience with Athena from Sweet Treats!!! We were having a neighborhood block party for my son’s 5th birthday and I wanted to add a little fun since all the kids in the neighborhood were also kicking off their spring break. The ice cream motorcycle sidecar was available and what a hit it was!! Athena drove into our cul de sac with the music playing, everyone was so excited as soon as they heard the music.... then they saw it was coming from a motorcycle ice cream sidecar!!! One of the coolest experiences and what a treat for the kiddos AND parents! Can’t wait to book again!”
Ice cream has always been a beloved treat, offering a wide array of flavors that cater to every taste. Lately, however, the spotlight has shifted to more unconventional flavors, making classic choices like vanilla and chocolate seem ordinary. From ketchup to oysters, here are ten of the most unusual ice cream flavors to try.
Rainbow Cone, a Chicago ice cream shop, is spreading its colorful layers across the country for the first time in its 98-year history. The shop is known for its unique five-flavor ice cream cone, which stacks chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, and orange sherbet in colorful "slices." Since announcing franchising two years ago, Rainbow Cone has grown to 21 locations, mostly around Chicago, but they're not stopping there. They've also opened a store in Indiana and recently made a deal to open 10 spots in Texas.
