This is a famous and delicious ice cream shop in Santa Barbara.There were over 10 different types and toppings to enjoy.I bought organic ice cream.All flavors were very delicious.The taste is refreshing and not too sweet, soI think it's a good idea to stop by after eating at a nearby restaurant.

We had to stop at the flagship store on our way through Santa Barbara. We enjoyed what we normally do, ice cream in a cup, but we also tried an organic flavor, brownies cookies and fudge, as well as their new raspberry cheesecake flavor. We loved both new flavors we tried. The scooper behind the counter was kind, quick and efficient. He was very happy to give me a try of the new flavor and eager to help.Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy ice cream and organic optionsKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Scoops are small enough for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: The downstairs is Wheelchair accessible

This ice cream shop actually caught our attention because of the long line it had coming out of the store at 10 PM.PROS:- Flavorful ice cream! We got the Santa Barbara Strawberry and Sweet Cream Caramel Brownie flavors.- Crunchy and fragrent waffle cone bowls. (Unfortunately, they ran out of regular waffle cones, so we opted for the waffle cone bowl.) Still delicious though!- Wait time in the line was actually quite fast.NO CONS!Would we come back? YES

One of the signature ice cream places in Santa Barbara. It's conveniently located on State Street, so it's easy to swing by after dining at a restaurant nearby. There's a small parking lot behind the shop, and you can find a parking spot if you're lucky.

Definitely a local favorite ice cream shop. One of a few locations in Santa Barbara, you’ll often find a line regardless of the weather. All the flavors are good and taste very artisanal. Waffle cones are fantastic. Definitely ask for a taste of anything that looks good. Just be prepared to put your order in as there’s probably a long line behind you (it tends to move quickly and efficiently though).
