The Penny Ice Creamery is a recommended stop in Santa Cruz, offering a delightful treat for visitors. Their unique flavors, made in-house from locally sourced organic ingredients, change seasonally. Enjoy refreshing and delicious options like Mint Chocolate chip, Cardamom with Pistachio, or vegan Dark Chocolate with toasted marshmallow fluff topping. For dietary restrictions, gluten and dairy-free options are available. The shop is known for its great seasonal flavors and a few non-dairy choices, including vegan chocolate ice cream that is highly praised. The highlight is their marshmallow fluff for $1 atop a waffle cone, and they are the only creamery in town that makes their ice cream from scratch. Customers appreciate sampling flavors before choosing, as options rotate daily, ensuring there's always something new to try. The relaxed vibe and friendly staff add to the positive experience. Overall, Penny Ice Creamery is a small but charming place that is a must-visit destination for anyone craving something sweet with a twist.
