“Sgt. Pepper’s is much more than just an ice cream shop! There are vintage records to look through and there is Beatles memorabilia everywhere, wall to wall. The owner, Gary, plays records while you enjoy your ice cream. This is one of those rare places that has a really unique, old-school atmosphere that you do not find at a typical ice cream shop. It’s a fun place for both music lovers and Beatles fans. My go to favorite ice cream there is coffee almond fudge with whipped cream on a waffle cone!“

“Amazing ice cream place. It is the place I always stop by when I visit Monterey. Like Salt & Straw, I love how Revival keeps trying new flavors. Unlike Salt & Straw though, all new flavors are credibly delicious (sometimes Salt & Straw can be too creative lol). Some seasonal flavors that I still hope they have it again is Strawberry Sherbet (taste like fresh strawberry but better, I don't know how) and birthday cake (I usually dislike birthday cake flavor since it looks colorful but unflavored. However Revival one achieves vibrant colors and flavors). Other than classics like Bee Knees, don't forget to explore new flavors as well.

UPDATE 9/22: The ice cream becomes more expensive over the years but it is still worth getting a scoop! The best deal would be single split with waffle bowl. Still under 10 dollars. BTW the apple pie flavor is my new favorite!“

“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.“

“This is a small cafe on the side road of Carmel by the sea. Three young people run the cafe. The lady staff were very friendly and always smiling. Comparing to the cafes on the Ocean Ave., this one is not that busy and has seats for guests to rest a bit.

We had two cups of tea - cannot go wrong. But like the atmosphere.“

“I just wanted to write a review because my family had a really good experience with an employee here, Jenna. Jenna was super helpful when my family came here. She refilled a toppings container for us and was very nice to us. In addition, when another family came in and made a bit of a mess she was really quick to take over cleaning it up. She was just a standout there overall.“

“I went into the Broadway store a couple of weeks ago to buy a bunch of gift cards. Micheal was super helpful and patient when things weren't working for him. He was friendly and kind and despite having to process 12 separate gift cards in between customers, her maintained professionalism and was pleasant, never getting stressed. I am in customer service too and I appreciated his work and wanted to make sure he was recognized for it. I would have tipped him but I couldn't since I was making a work purchase. Thank you!!!“

“They get our business more often than not because they stay open later than most of the other ice cream shops. Parking is simple. The selections are tried, true and we've all grown up with them. The staff at this location are friendly which I give them credit for as we often come just before closing. Lots of places to chose from in the area, can't go wrong with this choice!“

“You can never go wrong with Ghirardelli Ice Cream! My husband and I shared a brownie sundae, and it was amazing! It was a great size for the two of us to share. We meant to go back later in our vacation to try something else, but unfortunately we ran out of time. The views were amazing too! Definitely a great spot for a sweet treat, and we would love to come back!“

“We had a good experience visiting Baskin-Robbins.

The staff were polite and helpful during our visit. They were kind enough to check in the back and show us additional ice cream cakes that were available, which we appreciated.

This location is connected to Subway and shares the same staff. There was a good variety of ice cream cakes and frozen treats to choose from.

Overall, it was a good experience with friendly service and a nice selection.“

“Amazing time here in Monterey! Went after lunch today! This little store is very adorable ☺️ the girls working here are really nice and helpful with so many choices to choose from!! My son didn’t like his flavor nothing wrong with product he’s just very particular but they were more than willing to help us! We went for Marianne’s ice cream for my son and he was super happy! Love the accommodation you get when you are clear and approachable to the employees. Great communication goes a long way! Hooray and congrats to management! Can’t wait to continue to come here!“
