“We were here for vacation and found this cool ice cream place. There are so many varieties that we asked them for their popular ones and yet I got the chacobanga and rose scoops on a cone and a chocolate in a cup. The service is great and the vibe is cool, literally you feel you are in a tropical place with music, vibe and great ice cream with amazing interiors. I loved the ambience and it seemed like a family owned business. I highly recommend it if you're here in Petaluma, go look out for this place, you will thank me later.“

“Took my family and grandchildren for a treat and lady behind the counter with glasses was kind and patient. This is the spot to go with your family.“

“Excellent flexible and happy to work with you. During this time of physical distancing- they made it easy to gather sweets for home bound treats! #shopNovatoLocal“

“Heads up: cash only!
My favorite ice cream place. Specifically this location. Must-try flavor: vanilla honey lavender! Real, local lavender flowers throughout. Delightful. Magic!
I got a “double” scoop in a bowl (allows 1-4 flavors) to split with a friend the other day. We tried lemon poppyseed, Moroccan mint tea, and vanilla honey lavender. Would not recommend the lemon poppyseed- tasted a bit artificial. Moroccan mint tea was ok but tasted much more like mint chocolate chip than tea and the flavor paled in comparison to my favorite: vanilla honey lavender, which was outstanding per usual.
Tiny shop with charming pictures of local community up on the walls. There’s minimal seating inside and outside so you may have to walk with your ice cream.“

“You make my birthday girl so happy, especially the Unicorn. Make her birthday for this year sweet...it really makes her enjoy this lonely birthday becomes a joyful one“

“pretty tasty !!! got try it“

“Super fun location in the Alley! It was busy, but from order to received item was maybe 5 minutes. Soft serve was ok. We got a slush shake and it was good. There’s a lot to read on the menu and it all scrunched up on a board. Had different things you could add to your slush.“

“Servers are fun to talk with and to learn about the best treats!“

“Best ever sorbet and ice cream around. We so love everything that Mariposa Ice Creamery makes. We are enjoying the strawberry sorbet and the dark chocolate/raspberry swirl ice cream right now. Thanks for keeping your standards so high and for making the best products!“

“Visited the Creamery stand at the Phoenix Uptown Farmer's market, and they gave me the last chunk of sample pepper jack for free since they'd sold out. So thoughtful! The cheese is delicious. I highly recommend.“

“BEST frozen fruit ever. I take my 2 grandchildren ages 1 and 3 EVERYTIME I come to visit from Folsom. They are now both into the sprinkles on top and besides their Mango and strawberry or passion fruit they now want GaGa's fresh pineapple popsicle. Yummy!“

“I love this classic frozen yogurt shop. They always have great new flavors (as well as the classics) and the best toppings whether you are a candy or fresh fruit fan. The staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“Crumbl Cookies Petaluma has quickly become our family’s go-to spot for those special moments that deserve something extra sweet. What sets this place apart isn’t just the incredible rotating menu of gourmet cookies it’s the genuine warmth you feel the moment you walk in. The staff here treats every customer like they’re picking out cookies for their own family. They’re patient with indecisive kids, generous with samples, and always happy to explain what makes each week’s flavors special. Last visit, they even helped my daughter choose the perfect birthday surprise cookies for her teacher. The cookies themselves are works of art thick, soft, and loaded with quality ingredients you can actually taste. Whether it’s their classic chocolate chip (which somehow tastes like childhood perfected) or one of their creative weekly specials, each bite feels like a small celebration. The pink boxes have become a symbol of good news in our house!“

“Grand Central Café has truly opened its doors to the community in the most beautiful way. Thank you for collaborating with local voices, uplifting Latina women entrepreneurs, and creating a space where culture, connection, and small business can flourish. Your support means more than you know, and it reflects the heart of Sonoma at its best.“

“My son loved his birthday cake!!!“

“Kids loved a lot of flavors“

“The staff is always so sweet, even when they get incredibly busy. Cold Stone is the only place I can go to fix my craving for a particular kind of ice cream. I love that they have a creative selection of flavors and so many mix-ins to choose from, which separates itself from other places in town.“

“Only thing I come in to order is the Crazy Coffee Smoothie! And it's on hit every time! 👍🏽“

“Awesome customer service!! Francesca and the other people working on the day of 10/10/2020 were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond in order to fulfill my cake request. Their actions are deeply appreciated and should be rewarded as they did more than just fulfilling the customer request, but also creating a meaningful experience throughout the process.“

“Visited for the first time and have to admit I was wary because of the reviews. Ended up talking with the owner for a few minutes and he was incredibly friendly. He's been running the place for 40 years. We talked about the history of the establishment and how he got into the gelato business. No rudeness and delicious gelato. The small seating area in the back was very nice for our small group. I would highly recommend it and plan to go back often.“
