5 Best Ice Cream Shops near Monterey

“Organic, delicious and locally sourced ice cream. They have a variety of different flavors that change depending on the season, so there's always something new to try and look forward to.
The prices are a little higher, but you get high quality in return, which I am happy to pay for.

The last time we were there, we tried every single flavor and will continue to do so whenever we stop by.“

“This Ghirardelli is located in the heart of Cannery Row so if you go on the weekend, expect a long wait time. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is pretty nice or if you want you can just take your item outside and enjoy it next to the beach. Although there is a long line of people waiting for their orders, it went by pretty quick my favorite thing when I come to Ghirardelli is to get the brownie. I did want an ice cream, but I had already had too much sugar for the day I normally get this brownie at other Ghirardelli’s so I know what I was expecting but here it wasn’t as good as others I’ve had in the past.“

“One of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a cold stone and it was all thanks to Elsa. She was so patient and walked me through the different ice cream flavors and mix-in options, and offered great suggestions without making me feel rushed. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Delicious Ice Cream place! They have a variety of cold snacks for everyone's taste. The customer service is great and fast. The quality of their ice cream is amazing. You can find banana splits here which are so good. Totally recommend this if you want a cold treat.“

“Great ice cream, love the choclates and that is what I have tried so far. Super friendly and nice😀“
