“Had a really great experience here today. Had a nice chat with one of the owners and was so pleased to see incredible vegan choices here along with the dairy options. So tasty and I really missed waffle cones! I'll have to come back for an ice cream sandwich.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Popped in on July 4 and we’re so lucky this place was open! Owner was super friendly and let me try a few flavors before I landed on the flavors mint and dark chocolate and sea salt (sorbet).

My partner got the blueberry cheesecake - also delicious. Flavors change every month so we’ll definitely be back

Plenty of parking out front. I wish we lived closer so we could’ve bought pints that wouldn’t melt by the time we got home“

“I’ve been to a lot of ice cream places around the world and this is my favorite one (get the vanilla honey lavender flavor). Not only is the ice cream delicious and waffle cone crunchy, but it is very cheap (I swear ice cream has gotten so expensive - like why are some places charging $10). The only downside would probably be that they only take cash.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Best location with excellent coffee drinks.“

“I really like this place. There aren't a lot of options because the store is so small, but they have good Mexican street food, ice cream, candy, and occasionally baked goods. Don't take my less-than-5-stars rating as a negative. I'm very hard to please and I still recommend coming here.“

“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!“

“Stopped by recently on a hot summer day for some gelato. Talk about a perfect repast to beat the summer heat. I had hazelnut and mango, and the portions are very generous. I didn't ask, but I think they make the cones in-house. Anyway, strange combination, I know. The mango was immediately delicious but I think I messed up combining the two because when it came time for the hazelnut, I was too full to truly enjoy the depth of flavor. Next time, I'll get it to take home. I love the location, it's in one of my favorite areas of San Rafael with shopping, good food and entertainment in abundance. Haven't had the pizza yet, but I'm a New Yorker and we're picky about our slices!“

“We ordered coconut, bubblegum, strawberry cheesecake, pistachio, and rose petal.

The coconut and pistachio tasted really natural. The coconut had a lot of chunks and wasn’t too heavy or too light, just the right amount of sweetness. The pistachio looked a bit too bright at first so I was worried it might taste artificial, but it actually had a lot of real pieces and didn’t taste fake at all.

For the rose petal, I’ve had similar flavors at other places that ended up tasting like soap or even fabric softener. This one actually tasted like rose in a good way. It was light and really well balanced.

The strawberry cheesecake tasted exactly like what you would expect, in a good way. It’s sweet since it’s cheesecake, and the strawberry part tasted like jam. It is a little on the sweeter side, but not to the point where it’s overwhelming.

The bubblegum flavor is definitely artificial, but that’s kind of expected. It’s bright blue and the flavor is really strong. What surprised me was that there are actual pieces of pink gum inside, so you end up chewing gum while eating the ice cream. It was a really unique experience. Also cone is not too bad but not too good. Just mid lol

Overall, I didn’t have high expectations but everything tasted great. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the staff didn’t seem very friendly. There was no line and I didn’t take long to decide, but the overall vibe felt a bit unwelcoming. Hope they’re having a better day next time. Next time I’ll probably just use the kiosk :)“

“Bella is amazing! She's fast, polite and very efficient! I was amazed just watching her service the customer, clean the store, make pick-up orders and basically run the entire store by herself. If I had a company, I would hire her in a second!“

“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.“

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

“My son loved his birthday cake!!!“

“Kids loved a lot of flavors“
