10 Best Ice Cream Shops in Petaluma

“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.“

“pretty tasty !!! got try it“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I really like the brand, receiving it here in South California below above San Diego.
For the price, it’s fantastic, get me a half gallon at least with a very decadent Chocolate Milk. The cream top is kinda plus, remember people, return your bottles for deposit. Easily a healthy Consumer relationship, sustainability is the future.“

“Grand Central Petaluma isn't just another café—it's gives heart and soul to our community. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment with expertly crafted coffee while watching the river flow by, or looking for the perfect spot to connect with friends, this place delivers both solitude and connection in equal measure.

What truly sets Grand Central Petaluma apart is Natalie and Juan Carlos's vision as community builders. They've transformed this space into something extraordinary, regularly hosting everything from intimate art exhibitions, to lively children's and cultural events, and captivating live performances. You can feel the genuine care the owners pour into this community by providing a space to celebrate art, connection, and the unique spirit of Petaluma.

The coffee and food are exceptional, but it's the warmth and authentic charm that keeps drawing me back. A true local gem.“

“We stopped in to grab some lunch and cheese curds. The cheese selection is great! And loved the five options to sample.
The sandwich was huge! And lots of meat and cheese. Really tasty! The girl working could not be less interested in being there. But she did make great sandwiches.“

“I’ve been here twice now, and can’t get enough! I tried the minty chocolate ice cream that they had, can’t remember the name and it was delicious. But my absolute favorite was the lavender ice cream with the gluten-free waffle cone. I do not have a gluten intolerance, but I ordered it because the waffle cone was cinnamon flavored and it was amazing.“
