Even though she was at the end of her shift, she showed a great attitude, willingness to provide top quality service, and I definitely can’t wait to go back.
Mister Softee has the best chocolate malts with whipped cream 🤩“

“Best ice cream shop, big servings!“

“Far was the nicest and so kind and helpful! Love that this is open so late love the McConnell’s ice cream and they have really yummy cookies too An extra toppings this is a great place but mostly the worker was so nice. Kept offering me samples and was managing several of us at once very nicely!“

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“I came in and I had this girl who was very pretty and she gave amazing service. She was very kind and very attentive about my order. She made my crepe look so delicious and it looked very appealing. I didn’t get her name but she was wearing silver hoops. Thanks girl with the silver hoops for your amazing customer service!“

“Great staff(s) for the last 8+ years.Have NEVER had a problem...but your hand-packed "pints" went from 16oz to 14oz...and now 12oz??? FOR SHAME BR!!! (still bought a quart of German Chocolate Cake though)“

“Everything was wonderful the corn dogs as usual but the corn couldn’t even eat it. It’s not like it used to be. Bring back the fresh corn. Tossed it out so soft and not what I expected or what I was used to“

“I still do not quite know what italian ice is, but I know I like it. This was a perfect size and refreshment on a warm day in Santa Barbara. I thought it was better than ice cream and full of flavor. I had mango with another flavor (cannot remember) recommended by the staff and it was a perfect combo. Highly recommend trying“

Insomnia Cookies came through in the sweetest way! I had cookies delivered to a fantastic friend for her birthday, and she absolutely LOVED them. The ordering process was easy, the delivery was right on time, and the cookies were fresh, warm, and delicious—exactly what you'd hope for in a birthday treat. Thank you, Insomnia, for helping make her day extra special. Highly recommend for any celebration or Craving!“
