I absolutely LOVE this little gem nestled in a cute shopping center. I love anything banana and just my luck, they serve Brown Sugar Banana and OMG... it's delish! What I really enjoy and love about Rori's is the richness and high quality ingredients. It's creamy and flavorful. It's really worth the splurge and I always feel satisfied after treating myself to Rori's. If you can't have dairy or have nut allergies, not to worry, they do serve non-dairy and no-nut options. It's best to ask first to be safe. Other flavors I've tried are the Honey Almond Crunch, Lemon Curd and Passion Fruit (vegan) and I've enjoyed them all. Staff is very friendly and shop is limited in space so you will find a line forming outside but not to worry, it moves fairly quickly. Plenty of outside seating and ample of parking spaces. I highly recommend and I can't wait for my next visit!

Looking for a side of attitude with your pricey "itty bitty" ice cream cone, costing over $5? Well, you've found the right spot! When I first moved to Carp, Rori's was a fairly new local business, owned by a friend of a friend, so naturally, we all wanted to support it. Over time, it has grown in popularity, and while the ice cream is still delicious, the prices have more than doubled. Unfortunately, the staff, especially at the Montecito location, often comes across as condescending and dismissive.

Quite literally some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had!Rori’s ice cream is unlike most around. It’s the perfect concept between true ice cream and creamy frozen yogurt, and the flavors here are incredibly good! I admit they have quite the high pricing, but with generous scoop sizes and kid-friendly proportions as choice, it’s a nice spot for the whole family! Really signature flavors not found at every other ice cream shop and the texture of their products is irresistibly good. So rich and so creamy!Best ice cream in Santa Barbara!

Pretty good ice cream place! It's in the market place so cute little area to walk around while eating it. The girl serving us was nice. The peanut butter chocolate candy swirl, Lemon curd and serious dark chocolate were all SO good! The NY Strawberry cheesecake was alright, not my favorite. We'd definitely go back if we're in the area again!

The malted milk ball iced cream is in the top 10% of ice cream I've eaten. In a sundae with honey hot fudge it was very good though I should have stuck with just the ice cream. It's expensive $10.50 fora sue but they also don't nickel and dime you; kid asked for an extra cup and they said no problem. The service is very good.

Lemon curd and dark chocolate, still thinking about it they even have some premade pints to go too

Best ice cream ever!

Solid local ice cream but flavors were a bit underwhelming. Banana was good, didn't love my Rori Garcia or malt. Get the sense this is the slot in Santa Barbara, but wanted a bit more.
Aww common' give this ice cream a go. If you can afford a $10 giant cone, its a winner. Go with the favorites! You will be satisfied and impressed.

A little spendy but the itty bitty size was still a decent sized scoop and the ice cream itself was delicious!! They do allow you to sample flavors before ordering too which is nice since they have such a good menu with unique flavors.

Whoa...I know it's Montecito, but charging $7.95 for a single scoop of ice cream is disgusting and outrageous. If our economy had any regulation, it would be breaking a law. Just such an insult for some ordinary iced moo juice. Sad.

The icecream is so good. It's also $7.95 for one scoop. I'll pay it, but I'm not going to be happy about it. This is a special treat ever so often, not a regular go to place for us.

Rori’s is the best ice cream in Santa Barbara, hands down. So many flavors and vegan and dairy free options available as well.Having sampled every regular menu flavor (and most of the seasonal flavors), my favorite is Bischoff. It’s creamer, rich, and flavorful. My second favorite is Peanut Butter, with a close third being the vanilla. Unfortunately, I’m not a chocolate person, but if you are, they have 3 different flavors to choose from.If you’re in the area, I would recommend stopping by Rori’s and trying one (or all) of the flavors. If you’re lucky enough to be there when the waffle cones are being made, the shop smells heavenly.And lastly, if you read this Rori, please bring back the maple bacon? at least for a season
