39 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lakeside

“YOGURT BARN! YOGURT BARN!! That is what us and all our friends chant as we pack into the Chevy and drive down the street to our favorite dessert in Lakeside. The delicious rotating flavors always keep you on your toes. The staff is super friendly. Good prices. Smiling faces for all!“

“I’ve seen a couple unfair reviews that this place is too expensive, and that there’s not a very good selection. That’s not true at all. Very fairly priced, and a huge variety of selections! From viral ice cream, regular ice cream, all kinds of ice cream! Not even just that. There is a selection of candy there as well! Go check it out for yourself!“

“Unfortunately, COVID has caused most buffets to close permanently. However, the ambiance, service (by Myleen), food quality & value at Sage Cafe made us quickly forget that disappointment. She brought us a basket of assorted breads as soon as we were seated (overlooking their lake) and took our order. My cobb salad salmon was grilled to perfection & my husband rated his philly cheesesteak with garlic fries extremely tasty. Portions were so huge we took half our meals home, so didn't try the desserts, which looked delicious as they passed by us to other diners.“

“I love this place! Probably more for nostalgic reasons than anything else because it's been the same for at least 50 years. I need everyone to patronize this place to keep it in business! There's value in the simple presentation of a great product. And the Peanut Buster Parfait is amazing!!“

“Bomb. Absolute fire bomb. Papa Kanafa serves the best and most unique desserts in San Diego County! Lotus (biscoff) anything is excellent and the Emperor Mango shake is my favorite. Thursdays are buy one shake-get one shake free days. Come experience it.“

“It is a great group meeting to support and encourage business growth in the area.“

“Exelente servicio y todo de primera calidad súper recomendado“

“Came here for the first time and split a sundae with my wife. The flavor and portions were on point, my only bummer was that there weren’t enough toppings. I feel like a good sundae should have either chocolate sauce, nuts, or something else with each bite. There were sadly more than a couple masked bites with just the frozen yogurt (which admittedly was very tasty).

The server was very friendly and served people quickly, so all told it was a positive experience.“

“Love it there, the lady and son and workers are really nice 👍“

“best local burger spot. Fresh, delicious and great prices. 👍 Support local businesses.“

“If you haven't been to Yogurt Express yet, I feel sorry for you. You're missing out big time. Coolest, cleanest, funnest yogurt shop in the area for sure! Only problem is, you can't just eat one : ) Harp“

“We ordered a smoothie and a pitaya/coconut bowl. Both were delicious and I thought the bowl was just as tasty as some other big-name acai bowl places. The smoothie we ordered (pina colada) is all fruit and low-cal for those of us trying to watch our calories which was a great option for us. Will be coming back again!“

“peanut butter - best I've ever had. what is it????“

“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“

“Best ice cream in the country!“

“Great quality. Prices are good.“

“This was a great experience! From the guy who answered my questions over the phone and to the girl who gave me the cake at pick-up. Great staff, great cake, great experience. I placed the custom order online and they came through! The cake was beautiful and delicious.“

“I love their weekly flavors“

“Delicious! Recommend 10/10 🤤🤤“

“I like this place choose your own. I ice cream yogurt, my little daughter she likes the frozen yogurt it was wonderful. Take whatever you want. Go out you can sit outside also but the only things missing when you get into the business especially like employed standing they’re not sitting they supposed to say hello like when you get into Subway welcome to Subway. Welcome to Home Depot. Thank you for visiting these words. They’re very important to any business. When I get there, it was look like I am getting to cemetery.“

“love the customer service“

“These stores are always very clean. The employees are friendly and they decorate beautiful fro-yo cakes. Everything seems to be run with the customer in mind! Great flavors and toppings too. With new Covid-19 orders, they exceed all requirements. Great job to their team!“

“They master the rainbow sherbet freeze! Awesome staff :-)“

“The two persons (I believe young ladies, but wouldn't want to offend anyone not identifying as such) were amazing, composed, and fast. The line on a Sunday afternoon was out the door but they didn't flounder, panic, look rushed, or stressed...I applaud the two working today Nov 20, 22 at approx. 1630 hours. Amazing guest service skills and skill level.Thank you“

“Great Pizza & Wings. Long time favorite of ours. Great staff and very quick!“

“Great product and even better customer service.“

“Yummy ice cream🥰 and the chicken bits were awesome!!!“

“Willow was amazing. Very kind and patient with my ordering! I like a lot of toppings and she was great with adding everything I wanted! I will definitely return to this location even though I live in Crest( El Cajon )!
Thanks again cold stone“

“I think Prinkipia is one of the best in flavor of fruity fro-yo in the area. Pomegranate, mango, watermelon are my kid’s favorite. The thing they could improve is they need to keep the toppings in closed single mini containers so they won’t dry out especially topping like mochi which would turns hard when you let it sit in open container for a long time.
For service, well it’s never a big deal to me as long as they weight the stuff and ring the price right.“

“We came in an hour before closing on July 4th (🙈 eek late night holiday ice cream cravings!) and the staff were already working on cleaning up and closing down, but were still so patient, friendly, and just delightful. Fortunately we weren't the only late night visitors, as several more families showed up after us, but you often get cranky employees when that happens. Especially on holidays. Instead they were nothing but gracious and just absolute joys to have been served by. Thanks so much boys!“

“The ONLY place my grandson & I go for 31 Flavor Day!! Staff is friendly & helpful.“

“From the manager to the staff....this is why we will be back. oh and the yogurt is delicious too“

“I’m usually not a fan of the tipping culture, especially at places like frozen yogurt or ice cream shops where you’re asked to tip before you’ve even had any interaction. But this Cold Stone changed my mind.

I didn’t catch the younger guy’s name, but he was exactly what customer service should be. He actually made conversation, asked how my day was, and didn’t just go through the motions. I know it’s a small thing, but if you’re going to ask someone how they’re doing, at least make it genuineand he did. That’s the kind of service that actually earns a tip.

The whole crew was friendly, the ice cream was great, and the experience stood out because of the people working there. Give these guys a raise, a promotion, or both. This is the kind of customer service more businesses need.“

“Penguin has been around for over a decade. Always has a great rotation of frozen yogurt flavors. If froyo isn't the mood, they have a variety of desert drinks (shaved ice, smoothie, milk shake, etc). Pictured is a 5 flavor slushie with sour patch kids❣️???“

“Me and my family ordered 6 sandwiches today and I tell you what they were amazing every time we go there they seem to taste better and better mama in back makes them with LOVE!!! She is one amazing woman ❤❤Thank you so much for taking care of my family for years!!! Xoxo“

“I love coming here because everything is always so awesome and the service Is always on point. Even better the owner takes time to know her customers and besides getting something delicious to eat or drink I guarantee that u will leave with a smile. . The best addition to the plaza for sure...“

“It’s been years since I’ve been to BR.“
