The family and I were up at 3rd Street Promenade celebrating my oldest's birthday. We ate at Din Tai Fung and came here after. It was the first time I have eaten McConnell's. I was impressed with the flavor selection. The one I chose had salted caramel and brownies. I enjoyed it, it was rich and creamy so not very frozen. I would come back.
September 2025
It was my first time trying McConnell's and it was great. Went with the cookies and cream which was very good. Rich and creamy. Looking forward to trying their other flavors. Cute little location in Santa Monica. They have a few seats which were taken. It would be nice if there were more seats in front.
July 2025
Most delicious ice cream using highest quality ingredients - organic, sustainable, grass grazed milk from family owned dairy, 100% made from scratch - yum! Love their mantra - ice cream’s “healing power”, so true!
