“We had to stop at the flagship store on our way through Santa Barbara. We enjoyed what we normally do, ice cream in a cup, but we also tried an organic flavor, brownies cookies and fudge, as well as their new raspberry cheesecake flavor. We loved both new flavors we tried. The scooper behind the counter was kind, quick and efficient. He was very happy to give me a try of the new flavor and eager to help.Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy ice cream and organic optionsKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Scoops are small enough for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: The downstairs is Wheelchair accessible“

Lemon Watermelon
Italian Ice

“I’m from Philadelphia so I often seek out local Italian ice (“water ice”) spots to try. This was by far THE BEST I have found!!! I mixed the melon and watermelon. The flavor was amazing and the texture was perfect (soft, smooth, no clumps of ice). We can’t wait to come back to SB to have it again!“

“A solid ice cream spot with more than 10 flavors to choose from. I'd recommend getting the "Flight" if you are in a party >4 to sample their selection. The staff was efficient in getting our order.All the ice creams were smooth and not too sugary. All we could taste was the intended flavor of the ice cream. I would come again!If dining in, there are two small tables and some benches and stools. It can seat about two groups, after that you may need to eat outside.“

Double Scoop

“Such a cool place located in the Santa Barbara market place. The service was very friendly and I was grateful for their patience with my kids as they couldn't decide the toppings for their ice cream. The ice cream itself had high fat content from good cream as the texture was very velvety and smooth. We tried the pistachio, chocolate, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and strawberry. All were hits!“

Dairy free dark chocolate and coconut mixed with another scoop of espresso was "outstanding, a great combo" according to my mother-in-law.

Chocolate Chip

“This place is great. You want McConnell’s? Go here. Why, you may ask? They have McConnell’s ice cream and the prices are the same, HOWEVER, the portions…Way better. One scoop at the actual McConnell’s is OK. One scoop at this marvelous establishment is enough to leave me in a coma. Also, you can get a cone for free. 10/10. I’m personally very into the sweet cream salted caramel brownie.“

“Cute little sweets place in Paseo Nuevo. We ordered crepes which were soft and delicious. They did run out of vanilla ice cream which was odd, and some of their fridges where they put other desserts were empty so it just seemed like they hadn't restocked in a while. A good place to take a break from shopping and get a sweet treat!“
