My favorite neighborhood ice cream shop! You can seriously tell that everything is made fresh, the fruit ice creams taste just like the fresh fruit! Also hired their ice cream cart for our wedding and it was so great! All of our guests loved it!!
Amazing cookie and cream ice cream been going here since 2018/19 very good ice cream place
Best homemade ice cream in SD. Owners are great, and (natural) strawberry milkshakes are the very best you could ever have. This place is humble and keeps its roots to the community and been a customer for 20+ years.

The Famous Oasis Ice Cream Parlor is a beloved local staple in the South Bay, known for its delicious and unique ice cream flavors. The ice cream is light, flavorful, and not too sweet, with a slightly icy texture typical of Mexican-style ice cream. The menu offers a variety of options, including the popular guava, rice pudding, and mazapan flavors, with the latter known for its fresh taste and delightful creaminess.
This cash-only establishment helps prevent over-buying and keeps the focus on quality over quantity. The staff is described as extremely attentive, happy to help, and genuine, often providing samples for customers to try before making a purchase. With a small outdoor seating area and no indoor seating, the parlor has a cozy, neighborhood feel, and maintains cleanliness and tidiness.
Despite experiencing inflation and rising prices like many businesses, the Famous Oasis Ice Cream Parlor has upheld its commitment to customer satisfaction, waiting until the last moment to raise prices. Generations of locals have grown up visiting this iconic ice cream parlor, and many hope it will continue to be a beloved part of the community for years to come. Many customers highly recommend the strawberry vanilla swirl on a waffle cone, calling it the best ice cream in all of San Diego.
