12 Best Ice Cream Shops in San Luis Obispo

“Fantastic ice cream, and hands down the best flavors I have ever had.

Their portions are generous and don’t leave you wondering where the rest of your scoop is. We appreciated the employees recommendations for flavor choices for our flight of ice cream. Sally’s Waffle was surprisingly our top flavor, and it paired so well with the Roasted Strawberry. The Pineapple Upside Down Cake had a great swirl of cherries in it that was so good! The Espresso flavor was very good and quite rich, perfect for coffee lovers and would do great paired with a chocolate sauce on top.

Our children each got their own flavors that we tried and the Mint was classic and not overly flavored. The S’mores was hands down a top flavor!

I appreciated their commitment to try their hardest to use mix ins made in house like graham crackers and marshmallows is top notch.

The quality is immediately noticed when you take your first spoonful. You will not regret stopping in.“

“Great ice cream 🍦 flavors“

“LOVE everything about this ice cream spot inside the SLO Public Market!! We were staying in Pismo Beach for the weekend and hopped on over to SLO for lunch and a quick treat. Little Spoon was sooo good! You can taste the quality and love poured into each scoop. My family enjoyed the espresso, peanut butter Oreo, and cookies & cream flavors. All super delicious! I also loved that they had both standard and unique flavors to choose from. Can't wait to visit again!“

“I live out of the area but I come here every chance I get! Their ice cream has the best consistency and they truly have great flavors. Once, I even tried their sugar free ice cream and i didnt want to believe it was sugar free! It tasted so delicious! They are ao incredibly friendly also! But besides their ice cream and friendliness, im really wanting to post this because of their customer service!!! My father is a regular. He had been looking for a place to replace old doc Bernsteins ice cream and he found it here! Every Thursday night during farmers market, he goes there and gets the black raspberry ice cream. He absolutely loves it! We found out that when they get close to running out of that ice cream, they would save a scoop of it just for my dad. How amazing is it to find service like that. Someone that would go out of their way to save some for a customer.“

“Stopped at SLO Sweets in San Luis Obispo to stock up on chewing gum for our next stop @ Bubblegum Alley. While our party-of-5 browsed the almost overwhelming volume & variety of treats, our co-travelers from the UK were amused by the small selection of items from England. As a cultural exchange, my wife & I treated them to a small variety of sweets & a few bottles of root beer.

The shop was clean & well lit, with attractive product displays from floor to ceiling. The young clerk on duty that Friday evening was very professional. SLO Sweets is a fun place to look around, even if you don't buy an overload of sugary and/or chocolaty stuff. We would return.“

“I just went to their Tempe location for their grand opening. The staff were all super nice!!! The ice cream was really good and I like how they make it right in front of you. Can’t wait to try more flavors!“

“It’s convenient having so many little shops in the same vicinity. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or a mid-day pick me up the creamery market place has you covered.“

“Yogurtland is one of our most favorite places to spend as a family!!! Yummiest flavors ever!!!!! �����“

“I love SnoFari !! It’s always fun chatting with Peter (and his family) and he always has our favs ready for us. I didn’t like frozen yogurt before I went to SnoFari and now I love it !!“

“Thanks to a rescheduled flight I had a few hours to kill so I walked over from the airport. Love this place! The vibe is great, modern but comfortable. I tried two wines by the glass and they were both fantastic. Love the wine selection - it would be fun to come with a group and try a few different bottles.“

“It’s hard not being able to be there when my dad is in pain, but it’s so nice to be able to have warm chocolate chip cookies delivered to him in my place! Thank you - he mumbled that they’re delicious (his mouth was full of cookies) 😊“

“Best Thai tea with boba. I go here all the time and I do pickup orders. They always have my order ready on time, and they've always been super kind to me. They recognize me now. Other places with pick up orders always seem to be a struggle. They never have want you wanted, the order is wrong, it wasn't made on time, etc. This place never fails to disappoint. Thank you for the wonderful quality and service!
