First impression was good overall. Seating outside. Vegan and gluten free options available if you have allergies, but unfortunately they ran out of gluten free cones. Variety of flavors, but they don't give samples which sucks, because what if you don't like what you ordered...? The staff seemed annoyed and not too keen on the small talk, but they properly had a long day, so please have your orders ready when it's your turn. Spent about $26 (not including tip) for 3 items. If you like your shakes thick I wouldn't recommend the soft serve milkshake (it's soft serve...), but the homemade waffle cones are a nice touch (thin/crispy, not hard/crunchy)

Anytime that I visit a new city, one type of eatery always near the top of my search is ice cream. Is a city even worth visiting if they don't have great non dairy ice cream options? With that being said, I am happy to report that indeed .. San Diego is now deemed officially worth visiting 🤗 (just in case you were awaiting my official permission before buying that plane ticket ✈️, you're welcome!) :).
I have every faith there's multiple great places in the greater San Diego area where to find great non dairy ice cream but there's one, North Park Creamery, that caught my attention above and beyond all, why ... soft serve, Coconut Ube ice cream, that's why .. very ... very intriguing!
They are located in the (wait for it...) North Park area (seems logical enough lol) and are dangerously close to an Insomnia Cookies location just across the street lol. They offer a nice variety of flavors, the most unique of which (to me) was easily the Coconut Ube flavor. The environment was a bit dark so I did have to brighten my picture to faithfully capture all of the ice cream cone glory lol. You know the line in Star Wars "that's no space station", well, "that's no ice cream cone" .. it was like a death star of ice cream cones except the only thing this death star was conquering was my cravings (you're welcome, Alderaan). Huge, just huge ice cream cone with a vegan labeled cone (nice touch!), super creamy with a flavor that was out of this world. Sandi opted for the Strawberry Dole Whip and Vanilla twist and, she wasn't wrong in her choice, she just didn't happen to be quite as "right" as I was in mine :).
So, what are you waiting for, check them out! Go across the street, grab you an Insomnia cookie (or two...) and together with your ice cream well, remember ... what happens in San Diego stays in San Diego (except if you drip and stain your clothes with ice cream, that might be coming home with you).

Soooo delicious!! I had the Cookie Monster shake and it was AMAZING! I definitely recommend stopping and trying it! Very friendly and family owned!

Always my go-to spot for soft serve! Service is always 10/10 - you can tell it’s a small business where they really care!

Excellent ice cream!

The vegan ice cream was very good. I have celiac disease and the gf vegan cones are not safe for a celiac. I learned after it was too late that cones are made on shared equipment. That is not safe for someone who has celiac, allergy, and very sensitive to cross contamination. I made the error of trusting it being labeled gf and forgetting to ask the question until I already ordered and ate some. I have paid the price of contamination and it’s not worth it. Please either get separate waffle iron or label appropriately that it’s shared equipment. For a celiac this is important info. It’s not a Choice for us. It harms our guts and being sick lasts several days.

Great options, friendly staff! I live for their vegan soft-serves 🍦

Amazing service and even better ice cream! The vegan coconut ube ice cream was to die for and they had gluten free waffle cone 🥹!! I was very happy customer. They also offered a pup cup for my dog and even added her photo to the wall.

What a cozy and fine establishment this is! Eric, the owner, greeted me with a pleasant smile and a great attitude. I ordered a hot cocoa called the “toasted marshmallow,” and look at how cute Eric made it!! A+ for presentation :)
Thank you! I will definitely be back to try something different
