48 Best Ice Cream Shops near Laguna Beach

“Dolce Gelato is by far the BEST Gelato! Both the vegan and non-vegan options are uniquely crafted and simply scrumptious.“

“Delicious ice cream. This was my first time going to south swell ice cream. The only issue I had was that the menu was a bit confusing. I wish they had images of the ice cream instead of the description. Since this was my first time I was asking a lot of questions. Otherwise the staff were very patient with me and answered all my questions. The ice cream is very delicious. The price is reasonable too.“

“Great Italian Ice cream, good service and fun place for all ages!“

“Had the best soft serve yogurt! Fresh and plentiful on a delicious chocolate dipped waffle cone. Service was excellent. Employees were happy and paid careful attention to our varied requests. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Muy ricas y frescas, algo diferentes de las que se comen en mi pais( Argentina) pero sabrosas, las recomiendo a todos los que visiten Laguna Beach! Aprobadas!“

“The Carmel apple, vanilla custard with shaved ice and Carmel all-over, is worth driving to California. This has become our favorite family experience. For over 10 years, we never miss the opportunity to visit Lynn’s for the excellent customer service and yummy deserts!“

“Finally an awesome Indian ice cream place in OC. MUST try. Yet to try all the other stuff like chat and chaat too, exciting! Owner is super nice and gave us 3 free pup cups for our puppies and of course our pups loved it?.

Parking: This place is at prime location so plenty of parking but could be challenging to find one on busy time. We went in night time and we found free parking next to the shop.“

“Amazing vegan options. The scoops are generous and I love that they have a section of rotating seasonal flavors. Favorite is the mango sticky rice, it's not too sweet, the texture and the flavor are awesome. It pairs nicely with the the other vegan flavor, chocolate covered banana, or with the dairy flavor, Ube toffee. Both of these add crunchy texture bits!“

“Every time I come, the service is amazing. The quality of the gelato is superb and I can't say enough good things about it. They also have gluten-free options and Pup Cups. Good pricing, too. A local favorite for sure!!!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free gelato and "Pup Cups".“

“Holy crap amazing ?. We went on a Saturday night and people were standing outside which was a good sign because it was delicious or a bad sign that they were busy and we would have to wait. But it was because it was amazing. The flavors are strange and unique and incredibly delicious. The honey and lavender made you feel refreshed and standing on an English hillside. Goat cheese mulberry and habanero was a delicious sensation of salty creamy and fire that made you want to return again and again. Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream I could have sworn that they had elves in the back making cookies to put into that ice cream. The samples were given out on real metal spoons and each staff member took a group of people and not just put you in a line through the system. We went for a quick little treat after dinner and ended up bringing pints of ice cream home. Go for taste sensations and amazing journeys you will not be disappointed. Glad we stopped at this little shop while we were out there on vacation will be ordering some ice cream and having them ship it to me because it was that good“

“first of all the service is top notch, they let you try different flavors first before choosing what you want. friendly and cheerful servers. atmosphere is calm and a few seating inside and outside. portions are huge considering the price tag, will definitely come back, highly recommend! the pistachio cone is sweet so a warning, it was too sweet for us!“

“One of my favorite ice cream places! You must try the homemade waffle cone with your ice cream. It is absolutely worth it for the price. You won’t go wrong with any flavor.

Parking: Limited number of spots (about 15), crowded during peak times of lunch and dinner.“

“Many choices of dessert here. Italian ice, custard, ice cream, etc. We came for the custard and got the vanilla/chocolate swirl on a cone. It was smooth, creamy and took care of the sweet tooth craving. Only wish there was more seating. There were two tables closer to the supermarket. Long line and consistent but it moved fast.

Parking: Parking is in the shopping center.“

“The icecream it's great and so is the staff. The best part of this place is they have vegan icecream! Great for people who can't have dairy.
Unfortunately I've come and they don't have vegan chocolate. It should totally be a staple. It's such a bummer to come and the one you want isn't available and you don't really have a lot of options“

It was very crowded, but the female employees were always friendly and efficient.

“Love their ice cream and the atmosphere“

“On our recent visit to Crumbl Cookies, my wife and I were treated to an exceptional experience. We decided to go for the timeless classic - chocolate chip cookies. To our delight, they were just as we hoped: warm, soft, with chocolate chips that seemed to dance on our taste buds. Paired with the cool, refreshing milk, it was a match made in heaven.But what truly set this visit apart was the service. The staff member who helped us was not only friendly but genuinely nice, making our experience even sweeter. It's rare to find a place that hits the mark on both quality treats and customer service, but Crumbl Cookies did just that.For anyone in search of delicious cookies and a welcoming smile, look no further. Crumbl Cookies won't disappoint!“

“This Yogurtland is EXCELLENT!!!! The variety is AWESOME. I personally love sour, good choices for me were Tart, Strawberry, Mango/ Passion fruit of course with my delicious boba toppings. My husband taste is different from mine, he got everything he wanted.... Vanilla, coconut, Oreo, Chocolate and his favorite Pistachio... toppings, chocolate chip, peanut butter, nuts , and gummy bear candy. What ever your favorite flavor is.... this place has it. The gentleman who assisted us was kind and gracious. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ?“

“Best little ice cream shop around! The owner is the nicest lady and walked us through what every item was! They have such a great variety from regular ice cream to house made sorbets to all sorts of frozen fruit/popsicle blends. Break away from the your ice cream rut and try this place out. We stumbled in there getting ice cream for my son's birthday and the owner, seeing that we were celebrating added to it with a lollipop. Just a super sweet, super clean, super fun and very different non-chain shop that we were so happy to find.“

“I’m a regular customer here. I love the variety of healthy items and all of the customization possible. Friendly professional Staff!!! I’m a ‘lifer’“

“Love coming here for some fresh delicious ice cream! The paletas are perfect for later when the night is warm and you just want to cool off after dinner or before bed mmmmm just thinking about it makes me happy. Glad they are here and hopeful for many years to come!Also, tried the salchipulpos for the first time. Probably wouldn't get it again just cuz it was too much food for me but gotta try it at least once hehe“

“brought my family from Texas here after dinner. everybody loved their snow. the best flavor is mango although everything is goos.“

“I love the taste of the cookies and how the flavors change weekly. The customer service at my location is always perfect! The only flaw about Crumbl is how the inside of the locations look like a hospital. The walls are white and they’re is just a bunch of nothingness.“

“As the days of our lives, so the Yogurtland churns.“

“Baskin Robbins is our go to for birthday cakes. We love that they have funfetti cake. The cake design we took a risk asking for a custom vintage style cake. Give the cake designer a raise ??????this cake was to beautiful to eat! Everyone loved it and of course it tasted delish ?“
