15 Best Ice Cream Shops in San Marcos

“So glad to have a Handel’s in the neighborhood! Nice little courtyard to sit and enjoy the ice cream, and I appreciated the code to scan to see the current menu because the screens inside the window were a little hard to see. We will be back frequently!“

“delicious ice cream, great location! Perfect local spot …“

“GREAT experience at the Golden Spoon the other night, came with my cousin. Marcus was serving up top-notch frozen yogurt AND service. Great flavors to choose from, packed with a wide selection of toppings, culminating in a creamy tower of deliciousness (seriously, he built that thing up like a skyscraper). Will definitely be going back, and thanks again for making our night, Marcus!“

“Great and friendly service!“

“Our family’s go-to ice cream shop for years. I do not let my kids get ice cream from any other shop unless we are out of town. My experience with this place has been amazing. And almost all of our special days, we get our cake from this incredible place.

First of all, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, they’ll always help you in any way they can. They are very kind and value all their customers.

As a health-concerned parent, my number one priority is always cleanness and this shop passes the test with flying colors. This is the way all food stores and shops are supposed to be like, alas, in LA it is very hard to find this type of quality.

The cakes are absolutely a-mazing. Most custom cakes are either shapeless or tastes awful, but somehow this cold stone got the ideal technique and the recipe. One time we got a custom cake order for a baby shower for my sister, and after seeing that my son decided he wants his birthday cake “like that but with Batman on it” so since then we have only bought custom cakes from here. The non custom cakes are also life saviours for anniversaries or anything like that though.

And finally but most importantly, the ice cream tastes great. You wont forget that taste for years. Seriously addictive!

So in short, this is the ideal place for anyone looking to get a cone of icecream or some delicious cake.“

“This was amazing! I'll definitely be back!“

“This place can really make you phatt... ? Why, because you just can't stop eating these cookies. You bring home some fancy cookies for the kids and you think to yourself I'll just break off a piece and try it, a little later maybe another, then another, and another, and another, well there is just a little piece left might as well finish it.

These cookies are more of a cookie dough texture and taste, so if you don't like cookie dough you may not like these.“

“Been (im)patiently waiting for this to open...Parking can be tricky at peak lunch and dinner times but mostly it's great. Once you're in, the vibe is great. They have a little spot to take pics in front of a grass backdrop! Seating area was plenty too!The 3 flavors we tried were cookies and cream, strawberry and glazed. Each tasted great with the glazed being my favorite. The strawberry one was still good but it seemed like it was missing something. Cookies and cream were a little too sweet for me but if you like sweet or fixing for a sweet tooth, go for it!The service was great! She was so friendly, helpful and gave her personal recommendations. She seemed to like all of them but she was able be specific with flavors so it was super helpful!“

“My whole family loves 💗 this place. Highly recommended“

“Great place to meet friends, hang out, and chat. I get a boba after dinner before going out sometimes. I'm not a boba snob, but I like what I've had so far.“

“The bestttt frozen yogurt in north county in my opinion. They have the BEST flavors, my favorite are the Blueberry, Pistashio , & Pomegranate the non fat versions, so creamy. My kids love the cookies & cream. They are out alot & one time i walked in & it was super unkept, made me a little sad but i know it happens. Also LOVE mochi , but they are out alot 😭 But i love this place worth the money .“

“Baskin-Robbins off of Nordahl Rd., I see you!! I was so delighted and pleasantly surprised to discover this oreo ice cream cake flavored bit of fun the other day!! This Chainsaw Man themed anime cake is just perfect for fans like me!

My friends and family and I are huge anime fans and I'm not sure how many businesses in my home area are aware of how popular anime characters are. The fandom for anime & manga is always growing. It's so nice to find a place nearby, a little popular, classic chain ice cream shop, that is also updated with the changing interests of customers & clientele!!

It definitely felt like a real welcome treat seeing something familiar that always puts a smile on mine and family's faces. We will definitely be back for more if these type of custom made cakes!!“
