10 Best Ice Cream Shops in Santa Clara

frozo's Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
1000 Lafayette St D, Santa Clara

“Frozos has quickly become our favorite local fro-yo spot in Santa Clara, and I only wish we had discovered it sooner. They offer an impressive variety of toppings, far surpassing other yogurt places in the area. The cookie dough is my personal highlight; it's the fresh and delicious kind. Additionally, the cake batter fro-yo is my all-time favorite. The staff at Frozos are exceptionally kind and helpful. On one occasion, when I forgot to buy milk during my grocery run, they graciously allowed me to purchase a jug right from their store. Their kindness really sets them apart. While I haven't tried their bubble tea yet, it's definitely next on my list!“

“I had the best experience here! It is on the pricier side (around $30 for a dozen donuts) but totally worth it. They had all sorts of flavors - my go to's are always matcha, cookies and creme and black sesame. But honestly, all the flavors are delicious. I also happened to come when there was a malasada pop up going on. Those were amazing too!!! I bought a dozen plus some malasadas to relatives who visit Hawaii often and they were SO happy when I brought over the MoDo Donuts. We love to cut the donuts up into pieces so everyone can try different flavors. The store was cute and had plenty of parking. There were a couple of people waiting for their donuts too. Staff was so patient as I indecisively chose my donuts. Overall a fun place to try if you're in this area!“

“My friend and I are foodies; she is vegan and myself dairy-free we're always on the hunt for good vegan ice cream! She recommended Rocko's for dessert and I couldn't pass up on trying an ice cream taco! Right when I stepped in, I knew this was a popular spot. Artsy paintings, a neighborhood vibe, and happy customers rolling in and out are what you'll find. There's limited bar stool seating inside but most take it to-go. Lines can be long or short, but turnaround is fast. They have desserts for all--dairy, vegan, and gluten-free options galore! You're able to build your sweet treat or get one of their signatures. I chose to enjoy a Tiny Ice Cream Taco, my flavor of choice being the Vegan Matcha Oreo. For toppings, I had Dark Chocolate and Sprinkles. The tiny was the perfect size and it can get quite messy! The matcha was prevalent and not too sweet while the taco had a nice crunch to it. My friend enjoyed her Tiny Ice Cream Taco as well! For those craving ice cream and a unique way to eat it, I recommend Rocko's Ice Cream Tacos! Find them easily off Park Ave. with street parking.“

“I got the strawberry sundae with matcha soft serve, flavor of ice cream was delightful and rich with matcha flavor. There are 2 issues however, 1 is that the spoon is much too deep and very difficult to eat out of. I also wish there was a small size because the normal size is too big.“

“A lady pushing a stroller who was waiting in line with me for the mall bathroom just asked me what this place sold, I said "it's grilled fish with ice cream." She was surprised and said, "Oh interesting!" I corrected myself and said it was "batter poured into metal fish molds." She thought that sounded delicious so together we went! It was my first time trying this location.Since all the Somi Somi locations I have been to only have take-out, I like this location because it is in a temperature-controlled mall. I prefer it to eating ice cream outside in freezing temperatures and even to eating outside in warm weather because everything melts so fast. You also have more open mall space to wait.This location is bright and clean. It had one flavor that the Cupertino location didn't currently have. My favorites are the cheese taiyaki and the red bean soft serve.“

“I really enjoyed the custard, but because of the out of season fruits depending on when you go the Italian ices won't be as good in flavor. It has a nice atmosphere very similar to a Baskin Robins. You can sample the flavors before buying so don't be afraid to try things!“

“I got the strawberry new york cheesecake with extra mochi on the side. If you don't like soybean powder I wouldn't recommend the mochi. The cheese cake itself was pretty cold/hard but as time passes and the longer you savor the cheesecake it becomes decadent. I loved the amount of fresh strawberries and there was a satisfying amount of condensed milk within the shaved ice as well. If you have a sweet tooth I would recommend getting extra condensed milk!“

Pinkberry Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
2855 Stevens Creek Blvd #9246, Santa Clara

“I used to be obsessed with Pinkberry and was so upset when all the locations in Atlanta shut down -- now there is only the airport location remaining and if you know how big ATL airport is -- no matter how frequently you go, you will pretty much never get to have Pinkberry's.Knowing the froyo trend is over -- I still know Pinkberry has a pretty decent presence in the West Coast so when I was in California, I knew I had to give them a stop. This Pinkberry is located inside the mall so it's perfect for anyone who wants to get a "healthy" dessert in after their walk/shop around the mall.I still to this day believe that the original tart flavor is undoubtedly the best flavor and I still think that Pinkberry has the best original tart flavor. I was able to put some toppings -- like mochi, strawberries and popping boba to make my froyo complete and voila!Employees who were working there were also very kind and friendly and I was able to get my frozen yogurt pretty quickly so thank you to the staff who was working there! While there isn't a froyo hype anymore, Pinkberry is ALWAYS a classic and I cannot wait to get some more of this when I get the chance!“
