My little one loved the chocolate ice cream
Really good ice cream. Fresh, real fruit, real cream, and more healthy because of no syrups or additives. We passed by all the other ice cream options to go here. Apparently its New Zealand-style soft serve blended fresh to order. The fruit options seem to vary with the days/seasons, but my husband loved it. If we are in the area again, this is what we would order.
So good we came back twice during our few days in Monterey. I really appreciate they have dairy free options and they are delicious too!

Nico’s Ice Cream is a popular spot on Cannery Row known for its delicious ice cream and friendly service. The shop offers simple yet tasty flavors, with some seasonal options like mango. Customers enjoy the unique blending method where frozen berries are mixed into vanilla ice cream using a special machine, creating a fresh and flavorful treat. While the machine sometimes mixes flavors between uses, many find the ice cream to be excellent and satisfying, with some people mentioning that portion sizes are quite large—often more than expected, which can feel American-sized. The staff is welcoming and helpful, making visitors feel comfortable and valued. For children, the shop provides a child size cone or cup, making it a family-friendly destination. The overall vibe is positive, with many reviewers praising the good taste, relaxing atmosphere, and good value. Though the selection can be limited on certain days, returning customers appreciate the quality and variety of flavors available, especially during different seasons. Nico’s Ice Cream is a place that visitors often want to revisit for a sweet treat after dinner or a day exploring the area.
