50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Los Gatos

“Amazing gelato and great location! :)“

“I recently visited Petal’s Creamery on Saturday, May 2nd at around 10:50 p.m., and I can honestly say it’s some of the best ice cream I’ve had in the U.S. I tried the hazelnut and saffron flavors, while my friend went for the baklava flavor—and every single one was incredible. The saffron, in particular, stood out as one of the best I’ve ever tasted. What made the experience even more memorable was the service. We walked in about 10 minutes before closing, and the girl at the counter (she was wearing glasses—sorry I didn’t catch her name) was absolutely amazing. She welcomed us warmly, encouraged us to try different flavors, and had such a friendly, genuine conversation with us. Her smile and positive demeanor, especially so close to closing time, really stood out. It’s a true example of exceptional customer service. Great ice cream is one thing, but pairing it with that level of hospitality made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Last evening had a real craving for a classic banana split. Drove to the nearby BR and was able to create my special ice cream sundae. The split banana was placed in the dish and I chose cherry jubilee, fresh peach, and chocolate fudge ice cream scoops. Pineapple, strawberry, and hot fudge toppings were added next. Finally, chopped nuts, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries were piled high on my creation. A sight to behold! I feared a sugar overload, but still I ate the whole thing! Yum! 😜🤪🤣🥴👍❤️❤️❤️“

“gluten free, vegan, coconut based froyo! yum!“

“Local ice cream shop that also happened to sell açai bowls as well as little puppy dog treats!! Was very happy to stop by here while I waited for my girlfriend in hot Pilates.

I got me and my girlfriend an açai bowl to get back some of those glycogen stores after Pilates, and also a frozen yogurt cup for my son. Happy Mother’s Day!“

“This store has become an essential weekly destination for my family. We are consistently met with warm welcomes upon each visit, creating an environment where happiness is infused alongside the indulgence of delightful ice cream. Regardless of the weather conditions—be it cold, hot, windy, rainy, or any other day—we find solace in this place. Its exceptional appeal compels me to wholeheartedly recommend it to others.“

“An uncommon find but some of the most tastiest food you can find in Los Gatos, I never mind making the trip over here just to have the food. It tastes great, a good price and one of the best Curio spots to be! Inside and outside is great and if you love unusual shakes, its the place to be!“

“Friendly service, good yogurt. Many toppings to to choose from. One of the rare frozen yogurt places that have the toppings always fresh and not stale. Excellent. 10/10“

“Çok lezzetli sağlıklı hijyenik aile olarak üretim yapılan bir yer kesinlikle ziyaret edilmeli teşekkür ederiz“

“A fantastic endearing Ice-cream tasting & eating experience that causes you to marvel at the stature that Ice-cream making has come to acquire can indeed be felt on the palate with every Icecream flavor at PINTS OF JOY. The service with Smiles & Excitement & warmth of the Servers caught my attention. It made the experience all the more endearing. I tried many & loved the Jalebi with Malai Kulfi Ice-cream. A remarkable unique Indian Ice-cream. As an Indian American I feel immensely proud to see the popularity this Ice-cream has come to acquire in the heart of Silicon Valley! This Ice-cream venture is showcasing India Impressively internationally: tickling the taste buds!“

“Yummy cookies. Thank you!“

“Appreciate the effort for zero waste. We were visiting from MI so the vibe was off for me - they are not a typical friendly neighborhood ice cream shop. Orders are placed via kiosk, associate makes product, wraps it, places it on the shelf on a stand, and then calls your name to . It’s fine and efficient but not little to no interaction between staff and customers. Ice cream was very good though.“

“The best cookies I’ve had in a while. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but these are so so good! I love the new variety of flavors every week and how they’re so unique and different than the generic cookies you buy in the grocery store. The price isn’t too bad either! For a box of 6 cookies it’s $22 but the cookies are HUGE. I can never finish one by myself so I leave them to the rest of my family. Also pro tip download the crumble app so you can earn free rewards. 100 points equals to $10 you can use towards the cookies.“

“Salt & Straw never fails to amaze! They have some of the most unique and weird flavor combinations you’ll ever see, but somehow every single one tastes absolutely incredible.
​The Pear & Blue Cheese is spectacular, and the Chocolate Gooey Brownie is pure perfection. If you're on the fence about trying their wilder flavors, just go for it—they nail the balance every time. Easily one of the best ice cream spots around!“

“10/10 customer service by the pretty young lady is phenomenal and she’s bilingual she let 5 of us taste test whatever we wanted she said it was all homemade I got the platano brownie real good we will be back 1 scoop cones for 5 came out to $31“

“The service here is always unbeatable especially when the owner Lily is here! She always makes sure it’s such a pleasure stopping by and helping us! I’ve been coming here for a while now and with the incredible pricing and service I would say this is definitely the best sweet spot to stop at!“

“From Day one of tasting your delicious meals, we knew you'd be a big part of our family. Thank you for choosing to bring your business to Willow Glen. Blessings“

“Tasty Italian gelato 🍧 ice cream, not too sweet; just right!“

“Came here with a group of five on a Sunday evening after a heavy dinner. Shaved ice seemed like a light-enough dessert after a meal like that. Bingsoo is popular nowadays, but I don't see many around Campbell, so this was a nice surprise to find on Yelp. The parking is ample and shared in a plaza with apartments and other businesses.

Even though it was cold outside, the store was full. Almost every table inside was taken. The space itself was decently clean, although a bit cramped because of how crowded it was. Our group ended up sitting outside since a lot of the larger tables indoors were occupied by only one or two people. You can grab your own chairs by the bathroom if you have a big group.

I liked that menu was extensive. Besides shaved ice, they also had boba, tea, ice cream, and taiyaki. We waited maybe around 10 minutes for our order. We checked out a couple of games available near the front for customers to borrow.

We shared one large mango cheesecake shaved ice and one medium Biscoff shaved ice.

Mango cheesecake - This was AMAZING. My first bite tasted like heaven. The flavors worked together so well and the cheesecake wasn't overly sweet. The mangoes were ripe and sweet.

Biscoff shaved ice - I enjoy Biscoff in general, but this didn't compare to the mango cheesecake at all. It was too sweet and more icey/watery.

Chamomile tea drink -This paired nicely with the cold desserts. It was warm and refreshing at the same time. I almost never order nor see chamomile tea on menus so this was cool.

One note: there was a water station available, but the cups were SO small. Maybe 2-3 gulps of water per cup. I wish they were bigger.

Overall, I enjoyed coming here for dessert after our big dinne I think this is a nice addition to the Campbell.“

“Staff is friendly - love the rewards system and fudgy flavours! I just had the Coffee Almond Fudge and Cookies & Cream mix - mmmmm 🤤 (Forgot to take a pic until I finished... sorry haha)“

“Been here twice and it's been great both times! Pink Guava matcha was so unique. Didn't realize guava could go well with matcha. Tried ice cream today and the flavors are so unique! Service is great too, very patient and friendly. Store is clean and tidy“

“Sitting is good and power outlet are available if one needs to work on a laptop.

Do need to arrive early at times as it can get crowded. At those rimes parking can be an issue.

Prices for some drinks appear lower than at other locations.“

“Great place good ice-creams Many ice creams choices“

“great snack menu and delicious ice cream, highly, highly recommend!“

“First time here, found by ratings, and they do not lie. Came with family and everyone enjoyed it very much. I was not expecting half a strawberry as a topping but everything else was great, service, taste, speed and accuracy. Extra toppings are also great. The matcha was the best, soooooooo good. Will be coming back soon.“

“Usually I do recommend but not today. You put out ads for specials like today 4/19 2 for 10.00 Banana splits ad it has your address and when ì go I'm told it's not for the 4th st location. this is not the first it's happened. Froster Freeze has alot of upcoming specials that won't be honored for that prices. very disappointing“

“Searched “ Ice Cream near me” and found this great place. “Sweet Fix”.They make their own Ice Cream! Great flavors decent price. Had 2 scoops, Coffee & Butterscotch cookie, yummy. Definitely going back!“

“My first time here.Service was excellent.Had the Pineapple 🍍 Dole Whip delicious and refreshing.Will definitely return.“

“Came for the water, stayed for the people. Leilani, John, and Carmen are so great to talk to and the Aloha they bring.

You can buy the water by the gallon, bring your own bottle. Or, sign up for a 100 or 200 gallon account. They know their regulars by name as you walk in.

They also offer a variety of drinks and cold items. The shave ice is classic and you can add the Hawaiian style with red beans and condensed milk if you'd like. But, I am very partial to their Halo-Halo, a Filipino dessert/merienda. It has all the jellies, beans, Ube halaya, and ice cream you'd want.“

“La Dolce Vita Gelato was an absolute hit at our wedding. We were able to attend a complimentary tasting beforehand and sample a wide variety of their flavors, which made it an easy decision to include them in our celebration.
Their gelato is the real deal – each bite feels like you’ve been transported to the streets of Italy. The cart itself was a charming and elegant addition to our wedding day, and the gelato was every bit as delicious as it was when we first tasted it in their store.“

“It was all delicious. One of the servers wasn't very friendly and didn't have patience for someone who's never been here before. She became rude to me at one point but Im glad the other little lady took over. She was super sweet and welcoming. Still...its a good tamale spot“

“La Michoacana in San Jose is a nice spot with an impressive array of flavors . The variety is one of its standout features, with so many options to choose from that it can be a bit overwhelming—in the best possible way.

I tried the frozen banana, which was a delightful treat.
The ice cream also received positive feedback from the kids, who found it both interesting and flavorful. The unique combinations and traditional Mexican flavors add a fun twist to the usual ice cream experience.“

“Somisomi is a dessert shop that focuses on the combination of freshly made taiyaki and soft serve, creating a dessert experience that feels both nostalgic and modern. The concept is simple but works well: warm fish-shaped waffle cones filled with different flavors paired with creamy soft serve and toppings. The space is casual and easygoing, making it a fun stop for a quick dessert rather than a place you would spend a long time sitting.

The taiyaki is the main highlight and gives the desserts their signature appeal. The outside has a light crispness while the inside stays soft, creating a nice contrast with the cold soft serve. The fillings offer a good mix of classic and creative options, with red bean, custard, black sesame, and Nutella being some of the popular choices. The red bean keeps things traditional with a mild sweetness, while the black sesame adds a nuttier flavor that pairs especially well with the waffle texture. Nutella works well if you prefer something richer and more dessert-like.

The soft serve is what brings everything together, with flavors like matcha and ube standing out. The matcha has a noticeable tea flavor without becoming too intense, and the ube adds a sweeter, more dessert-focused option. Adding toppings like cookies or cereal gives the dessert extra texture and makes each order feel more customizable. The combination of warm taiyaki, cold soft serve, and different fillings is what makes Somisomi different from a typical ice cream stop.

Service is usually quick, which fits the style of the shop since most people come in for a treat on the go. The menu is straightforward, but there are enough combinations to make repeat visits interesting. Overall, Somisomi is a fun dessert spot that does a great job with a simple concept, especially if you enjoy Asian-inspired desserts and want something that balances warm, crispy, creamy, and sweet in one order.“

“Awesome experience, owners are very friendly and really took care of our large group. Great service and delicious raspados . We even got a complementary Diablito.

Vegetarian options: Shaved ice with fresh fruit syrups ( raspados) are a great option.“

“Happiness in a cup. And a cone 😁“

“Glad this place was open late so I was able to try it! Cashier did not seem to enjoy the job but recommended me to try the cookies n cream gelato which was really tasty, not too sweet either. Kinda sad they didn’t have my go-to gelato Hazelnut. It’s in San Pedro, so nice spot overall!“

“A must stop every time I’m in Honolulu/Waikiki now. I love there chewy texture and the lilikoi is to die for!!“

“we here now 4 pm girl was working alone its packed she greeting everyone comes in she fast ,in order too not pushy at all she was so happy and helpful to me and my little kids im like dam asked if we need anything else her attitude 100% perfect she deserves a raise we will come here again just cuz how she took care of us !!!!!!“

“Good ice cream. Good staff. It was really clean.“

“I’ve been coming here for almost 30 years, hands down the best yogurt in Santa Clara county, the staff is usually friendly, except one guy. The biggest downfall is that we should be able to try a couple flavors to see what we like and don’t like before purchasing, I have purchased a couple times where I ended up throwing away my $9 yogurt because it didn’t taste right to me, had I been able to sample first I would’ve known not to purchase that flavor. Please allow samples again…..at least give a limit of 2 free ones, you’re not losing money by allowing a small sample Thanks for the Carbolite options they are a life saver on my healthy lifestyle goals“

“The best cookies I've ever had! We had a special delivery sent to us and they were still hot! The Chocolate Chip with Sea Salt? Ya, crazy good! I will definitely think of Nox to surprise someone :)“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this ice cream shop recently and I must say, it was an experience worth sharing. The variety of flavors was impressive, each one seeming more tempting than the last. I finally settled for their signature as the employee gave me a sample of a scoop of their signature flavor and it was absolutely delightfulBut what truly set this visit apart was the exceptional customer service. A young employee went above and beyond to ensure my experience Their enthusiasm was infectious, and recommendations were spot on.Overall 10/10!I recommend UBE and Biscoff“

“Got coupons and took advantage of it, buy one get one. Clean and friendly service.“

“Fue cuestión de ordenar una sola vez,y o pude parar me encantan sus manzanas excelente servicio“

“Small hole in the wall shop that's ran by the kindest employees.
Besides distilled water, this spot serves a small menu of fresh sandwiches and unique in-house made drinks.
They also carry several different types of snacks and small to-go items for any type of meal.
I ordered their bbq ban-mi with a green-thai tea drink.“

“Ran in for a milkshake and was in and out quickly. Girl was alone and doing a great job. As always, great ice cream!“

“This place is literally like 3 min away from me .love taking my kids after school to get icecream. The prices are so much more reasonable compare to the ice cream trucks now a days. Plenty of different varieties too. Definitely recommend this place to stock up on your kids favorite ice cream:)“

“Do you want good, durable authentic leather goods ? Well stop by and see what’s in store for you. From traditional to modern there’s something for everyone in the family. The cleanliness and quality of service you receive is unmatched. Stop on by and don’t miss out on a wide selection of apparel and boots !“
