Pacific Beach Ice Cream Co.

Terrific ice cream that is not overly sweet like Mexican ice cream. Note: they sold dairy pills! I've never seen that. If I had forgotten mine, I certainly would buy one for the occasion. I think they're 50 cents each.

We had a quick date night to grab ice cream, as we are new to the neighborhood. What a wonderful experience! Super friendly and welcoming, and familiar with dietary restrictions (yay for vegan ice cream!!). They make everything (including the cones) themselves, and it was just delicious. We can’t wait to go back.

Dietary restrictions: I’m vegan and had both fruit ices and coconut milk ice cream options!! The vegan Oreo and vegan coconut were a delicious combo. :)

Love this place, the owner, and all the service folks here. They all live their ice cream and are super happy to be selling it to everyone that comes in. The flavors are fabulous, most are original recipes by the owner, and those that aren't were recipes from his Dad.

They have plenty of flavors they carry year round, including several that are lactose free or vegan. They also have one or two with alcohol in them. And a handful that are seasonal. For Thanksgiving they have a silky pumpkin cheesecake and a chunky sweet potato casserole with candies pecans and marshmallows. Imaginative and delicious.

I highly recommend this place and if you go take some time to talk with the folks behind the counter. They let you taste anything, and they use tasting spoons they wash and reuse, not throwing away thousands of testing spoons.

Best ice cream in Pacific beach! Homemade flavors, friendly, super clean, amazing scooper collection on the wall 🤩 delicious!

Hands down the best ice cream in SoCal and can compete with anywhere in the US. They make their own waffle cones, rotate seasonal flavors and, the Julian Dutch Apple Pie is terrific! The owner is hilarious and we had an amazing visit. Can’t recommend enough!!!

This is probably the best ice cream I’ve had in California! The flavor and texture are just to the point! Forget Salt and Straw, Jenis, etc and come here instead. Strawberry cheesecake and coffee were my favorites. The owner is extremely kind, only downside is that they have limited seating and no restroom
