50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Spring Valley

“I normally order the Panda Cloud Foam. Today I ordered the White Rabbit and Meis Keso Both good“

“Exelente servicio y todo de primera calidad súper recomendado“

“I came here for lunch, the picture of the tacos looked bomb. Unfortunately the taco lady wasn’t there. Dillon who took my order was super helpful in recommending the torta he let me sample Panela cheese to see if I would like it, I got the vegetarian torta and was not disappointed. Dillon was nice enough to offfer me a sample of the strawberries con crema says his mom makes the cream fresh every morning. They were delicious but I opted for the fruit salad instead. It came with papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew melon,mango strawberries apples cottage cheese granola and honey. Everything was fresh and crisp the friendly service got me to stay, even though there is no restroom for customers, something g to consider if you’re a person who is looking for a lunch break and need a bathroom to relive yourself and wash your hands.“

“best local burger spot. Fresh, delicious and great prices. 👍 Support local businesses.“

“Went for the first time today after passing by after my fitness class several times, my friend and I got several samples of different flavors and the guy working there was very friendly the ice cream was very good and they had a large selection of flavors and the portions were very generous, I ended up going back in to get some for my family.“

“The BEST Carne Asada Street tacos and only $1 each. I stock up with these whenever I'm in the area and keep them in the fridge for later.The fruit drinks are exceptionally good and very generously sized.The place is super clean and the staff is very friendly.Worth the drive from wherever.“

“I love coming here because everything is always so awesome and the service Is always on point. Even better the owner takes time to know her customers and besides getting something delicious to eat or drink I guarantee that u will leave with a smile. . The best addition to the plaza for sure...“

“Fantastic, velvety smooth creative flavors and made from scratch! They also switch out their flavors every 2 weeks or so! Fun concept, wonderful staff. Highly recommend. Putting San Diego on the food map :)“

“Bomb. Absolute fire bomb. Papa Kanafa serves the best and most unique desserts in San Diego County! Lotus (biscoff) anything is excellent and the Emperor Mango shake is my favorite. Thursdays are buy one shake-get one shake free days. Come experience it.“

“Ok, I am from NY and love pizza. I am not a NYC pizza snob though and welcome all iterations of 'za! I have to say that this pizza is probably the best I have ever had of its type. They are "Roman" slices, meaning focaccia crust. Variety of slice options are insane with creative combinations that are not only imaginative, but insanely delicious. Slices are cooked upon ordering for supreme freshness. I especially like the Lussuria - prosciutto, black pepper, mashed potato, mozzarella and olive oil. (I NEVER thought I would like mashed potato on a slice, but it's insanely good.) The help here is amazing as well. Caesar was working the oven and he gave great suggestions and explained the product well. Very inviting and definitely steered me in the right direction. Need gluten free? They got it! Will make a GF slice for you right on the spot. I challenge anyone to have just one slice. I had to go back for 2 more. Enjoy!“

“Their homemade ice cream“

“Excellent vegan soft serve ice cream.“

“It was so so good! Let me sample ice creams, and the sample spoons were NOT plastic which I greatly appreciated the idea of reuse. The flavors were fun. I LOVEEED how they put the scoops on a cup, it was one that was wide so I can eat from all three flavors instead of going through each flavor like regular ice cream shops do. Much enjoyed! Service was kind and fast“

“This your local Ma & Pop shop. Personal Fav: Acai/Blue Spirulina Bowl (Acai Roots Brand 💜) They have quite a few bases to choose from so that's nice.

Every bowl, no matter who is working, is made with love. Employees are super sweet, very engaging and always greet you with a smile when you walk in.

Froyo/Sorbet/Gelato favors, yes they have multiple options, are super good and changing often. However, Pineapple Dole is always on tap which is another personal fav of mine, so that's rad.

If you want an OG froyo/acai bowl... This is your spot.“

“We found Cabetos a few years ago at a farmers market. Ever since then if we ever see them somewhere- it’s a must have treat. We recently had a grand opening event for our new business and had them cater. They were awesome to work with. Weston, who was at our event was so fun and EVERYONE loved the ice cream. I highly recommend to find them at a farmers market near you or book them for your next event. I now need to go to their new store! So fun!“

“We strolled over after Fish Guts and enjoyed a cooling treat after a hot day. The mango shaved ice, avocado pistachio ice and coffee almond fudge all had great flavors. We got cookies to take home also (so good). I will definitely try the shaved ice next time around.“

“I live in Arizona and walking my found this place. To sum it up I’m addicted to this ice cream. Every time we go to San Diego I have this ice cream 2 to 3 times a day.“

“This store its the most friendly and easy order and fast service thry allways answer any questions this my 1st store ever and i will keep coming only at this crumble cookie i live in san diego ,i still prefer this store... thank u team santee,ca“

“The flavor of the ice cream is worth the $$$ that we paid for it My favorite flavors are great golden pistachio and butter pecan“

“With the commercialized takeover of the creamery industry there aren’t too many true creameries left in this world. I stumbled up Handel’s when I was visiting In’n’Out on a work trip. The slogan “Handmade since 1945” caught my eye and it looked like a creamery I remember as a boy. I was stunned at their setup of ice cream freezers behind the counter. It’s cool to watch them scoop cones! I read about Handel’s story and the people who bought Handel’s did it right when they scaled the business. It definitely feels like a small town creamery which is rare these days.

I had the pistachio ice cream with a waffle cone and it was very good! I got the small and they piled the ice cream high! Definitely worth the price!“

“Came for a visit with my best friend since we were both craving for a sweet treat. It was our first time and it didn't disappoint. We were looking to try somewhere new and came across this location. Service is fast and convenient for a pick up & go. The portion was generous and the vanilla ice cream stood out. It's simple, classic, and well made. It was a perfect treat after a slightly heavy meal.

There's also a diner inside that looked great but we didn't get a chance to try it. We'll definitely come back and stop by to try the menu items out. Overall, a solid spot for a quick high-quality ice cream stop. Definitely would recommend this place for friends, family, and groups!“

“Great food and ice cream. Very good service given by a sweet lady.“

“So many delicious cookies!! Soft serve ice cream as well. 100% vegan but you don’t need to be vegan to enjoy. Unique flavors and many rotating seasonal options“

“The place is very clean. Variety of flavors and toppings and the staff is very friendly. Price is about $0.49 per Oz. Filled up with kiwi strawberry, watermelon, and cookie n cream. Comparable with NuYo, but pricier.“

“Every time I visit, the cookies are fresh, warm, and packed with flavor. I love that the menu changes weekly—it keeps things fun and gives me something new to look forward to. The store is super clean, the staff is friendly, and the service is always fast. My favorites so far are the classic chocolate chip and any of their seasonal specials. Definitely worth the hype!“

“Came here for the first time and split a sundae with my wife. The flavor and portions were on point, my only bummer was that there weren’t enough toppings. I feel like a good sundae should have either chocolate sauce, nuts, or something else with each bite. There were sadly more than a couple masked bites with just the frozen yogurt (which admittedly was very tasty).

The server was very friendly and served people quickly, so all told it was a positive experience.“

“bomb.com !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“mi experiencia con la chica que atiende fue poco agradable ella no sabía que darme yo le pedí que me recomendara algo picante y acidito no quería paletas ni raspa. ella me dijo voy abriendo y no tengo nada listo era ñn 2 10 dela tarde le pedía algo y para todo decía esque voy abriendo no tengo nada listo. termine por decirle dame unos testigos ponle gomistas de chile y puso salsa. la verdad ya no regrese ese es mi horario regular de comida y después de comer elijo comprar un snack creo que deberían preparar con tiempo aunque sea algo leve para los clientes como yo que tenemos ese horario“

“Love it there, the lady and son and workers are really nice 👍“

“friendly staff and everything we ordered was delicious“

“They have great flavors and toppings.“

“Love great cookies!“

“This was a great experience! From the guy who answered my questions over the phone and to the girl who gave me the cake at pick-up. Great staff, great cake, great experience. I placed the custom order online and they came through! The cake was beautiful and delicious.“

“La atencion al cliente muy buena.“

“If you haven't been to Yogurt Express yet, I feel sorry for you. You're missing out big time. Coolest, cleanest, funnest yogurt shop in the area for sure! Only problem is, you can't just eat one : ) Harp“

“This Cold Stone is top tier. The ice cream is fun and good, but to echo others, the customer service is insanely great. I’ve been here several times and everyone is always so kind and helpful!

I see a couple of reviews comparing this to Anne’s laundry, for better or worse.. in all honesty I find it kind of funny. I’ve been to both and those are 2 completely different vibes in both food and service. One is gelato and the other is Ice Cream. If you want ice cream, this is it

I’m so glad this place opened, it’s rare to find folks that are so kind and helpful, with a great sweet treats to boot. You are becoming a fast and much needed staple in dessert and service in North Park“

“love the customer service“

“Stopped here after the beach for a refreshing paleta. The limón is always my go to and it did not disappoint. Perfect texture to bite into with a delicious citrus taste. You can pay extra to get toppings on them. There is a small parking lot here which was a bonus. Not busy at all when we went on a Saturday evening. Would definitely stop again.“

“Excellent boba and great service. We're so thankful to have this spot so close to our house and the service is always great. We love this place! The boba tea is super sweet though so we suggest going quarter or half sweet on drinks, even my 10YO agrees!“

“Best ice cream in the country!“

“This place is A+!!! You can buy posicles for 50 cents each or a dozen for only six bucks and you can pick any flavors you want and make your own custom box! I don't know why it's not as popular but it's my favorite store now. Definitely check it out if you can, you won't be disappointed“

“Love it and delicious... I will be back definitly... Very cheap prices...“

“YOGURT BARN! YOGURT BARN!! That is what us and all our friends chant as we pack into the Chevy and drive down the street to our favorite dessert in Lakeside. The delicious rotating flavors always keep you on your toes. The staff is super friendly. Good prices. Smiling faces for all!“

“Best ice cream ever so tasty I love the diverse flavors and people who work there are super nice and caring amazing costumer care. Definitely recommend. I bought the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup and it’s delicious I love it. Cheapest cup than other places.“

“Súper recomendado este lugar aparte de toda la variedad de Delicias que tienen , serás atendido por una persona súper amable y agradable el Señor Enrique fue un placer llegar y conocerlo“

“Best cannoli of my life. This is an absolute must stop in Little Italy.“

“Best Ice cream in San Diego“

“I Don’t Go Often But When I Do I’m Never Disappointed!! Yum“

“The two persons (I believe young ladies, but wouldn't want to offend anyone not identifying as such) were amazing, composed, and fast. The line on a Sunday afternoon was out the door but they didn't flounder, panic, look rushed, or stressed...I applaud the two working today Nov 20, 22 at approx. 1630 hours. Amazing guest service skills and skill level.Thank you“

“Great quality. Prices are good.“
