19 Best Ice Cream Shops in Temecula

“Absolutely love Thirstea! Their Thai Tea and bubble waffles are a must-try. Fellow Filipinos, you have to check out their Halo Halo—it's the best in the valley! I've sampled many, but nothing compares to Thirstea's. They load it with toppings and the leche flan is incredibly fresh and authentic. Plus, the owner, Jose, is super friendly and a veteran, which adds to the great vibe. I’m really looking forward to their Karaoke night on Fridays! Highly recommend!“

“Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream has quickly become one of the best spots in the Temecula Valley for dessert lovers. As a recent addition to the local food scene, my wife and I love coming here to share a small butter pecan—it’s rich in flavor, perfectly sweet, and absolutely delicious. While we gravitate toward our favorite, their menu boasts a wide variety of flavors that change with the seasons, so there’s always something new to try. The staff is consistently friendly, and service is quick, making it easy to get in and out even when they’re busy. We’re thrilled to have Handel’s in town and can’t wait to bring our family when they visit.“

“An absolutely outstanding example of traditional hand crafted Italian Gelato made from the freshest, highest quality ingredients by a Hungarian Italian gentleman who is an artist of the highest calibre and a genius of exotic flavors that you simply must experience to understand. Words written by me simply cannot do justice to this man's creative abilities! I have yet to taste any of his creations that I didn't love! My only problem is trying to decide..but I just get a scoop of each! As should be expected, every great man is made greater by a great woman and his Hungarian wife is no less an artist as she hand crafts traditional Hungarian pastries with traditional methods that are absolutely heavenly! A beautiful and exceptionally clean little dessert shop that will put a smile on your face and a song in your heart every time! I hope that Temecula appreciates the fact that they don't have to travel halfway around the globe to experience some wonderful European treats that are right at their fingertips! 5 stars every time, always 10 out of 10!“

“Had the best drinks I have ever had here. The customer service was amazing and friendly. I would recommend giving this store a try.“

“Best I’ve cream around and the owners are super friendly!“

“My husband and I were able to get a fudge bar, my favorite, and an orange dream bar, his favorite. Thank you, Omar, for the great service and ample number of options.“

“This is one of my favorite froyo hangouts. I appreciate supporting local business and this store is always clean, the employees are so sweet and helpful. I like putting fruit and almonds on the bottom, then the froyo and top it off with hot fudge and more almonds. This way the fruit is kind of slushy when you get to it. So tasty! I like them more than Yogurtland but I don’t get out to Temecula that often.“

“My go-to yogurt place to beat the SoCal heat! The best flavors and always fresh toppings. The seating area ia always clean, always see the staff cleaning up to keep the place spotless. Deijah, one of the cashiers, is always so friendly and remembers me when she sees me- thanks Deijah!“

“Melos recently attended a local school carnival, and not only were the ice cream and desserts delicious, the guy was super friendly and treated all the students with kindness and patience. The parents and kids really appreciated this. I would highly recommend these guys, and I look forward to popping into the store soon.“

“Crumbl Cookies delivered a great experience! The staff was friendly and quick, ensuring I got my order fast. The store was spotless and well-maintained. Parking was plentiful and convenient, making the visit hassle-free. A bonus, Starbucks is just a short walk away, perfect for pairing coffee with cookies. Overall, I’m happy with the service and will definitely return!“

“The most INSAAAANE, the absolute BEST Dubai Chocolate ice cream anywhere!!! The taste and chunks go crazyyyy!! Same goes for their Dubai Chocolate ice cream bars. Noticed that this is a “limited edition” flavor - I hope this is NOT the case and it becomes permanent. Great coffee flavor as well!“

“My family hasn’t been doing Ice cream Friday’s for 14 years and love that we can include Yogurt Island as part of our family tradition.“

“nice place just a little dirty in dinner area“

“If you're tired of plain old ice cream, this is the place to go..... order for dash from. Delicious homemade ice cream custom mixed together with the additions you want. Select your ice cream, select what you want added in....different candies, or fruit, toppings .... whatever your heart desires, and watch your creation cone to life as they put the ice cream on an icy cold slab and mix it together in front of you to make your own custom selection. Then select what you want to eat it out of... a cup, small medium or large, in a plain cone, a waffle cone, a waffle cone with chocolate... with sprinkles... so many choices. I love French vanilla with Heath bar crunch mixed in in a cup, but some days I love fruit like strawberries mixed in for something fresh. The grandkids love adding a variety of candies to their favorite flavor of ice cream. Whatever your pleasure is, they have it!

Parking: It's in a strip mall with a cvs so lots of parking

Kid-friendliness: Who doesn't like ice cream.... of course it is kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, wheelchairs can easily get in and out of this store. Suze of ice cream store is traditional ice cream store size.... not huge.“

“The young man Peshoy at Simon Frozen Yogart was very helpful. Nice to find good customer service. Im trying it here in California for the first time since the 80's. It looks amazing. I will be bringing my granddaughter to have a treat here. Next time I will have the mango. Yummmmy!“

“Clean, and friendly service. Good ice cream choices.“

“I always get tastes of their different flavors, but settle for my favorite all the time, they have the best Chocolate Mint EVER!“
