I havent eaten an ice cream cone in many years. I had one here and felt like a kid again. Everything was delicious and authentic. The flavor and texture of the popcorn is incredible. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some deliciousness 😋.

Ice cream is homemade and mixed in as your order. They have a lot of variety and the portions are relatively bigger for the price. The ice cream cookie sandwich has about three scoops worth of ice cream, definitely sharing size!

Great little ice cream shop downtown that just reopened. They only had a few flavors because of this, but the ice cream was fresh and delicious. We also got a little bag of popcorn which had the perfect movie butter flavor. Will definitely go back.

Nice spot to stop following a game. Great customer service and flavors were solid. I suggest eating there, if on the go get plenty napkins.

There are so many flavors to choose from and the taste is totally delicious, so good I had to go back again. The best ice cream in town, great service, lots of flavors, something for all and the price is low for what you get!

We drove downtown and paid for parking to find a hand written note on the door that they were closed for the week. We went at 1PM on Saturday which is a listed business hour.It would have been nice if they would have updated their site, Google, or voicemail to inform us they had closed when we checked.Because I wasted my time and $$$ I hope they will consider making these notifications for future customers.

Always stop here when in town. We placed an order 3 weeks ago. Not shipped yet and after several emails and calls still no response. You might want to purchase in the store..

Food was so yummy. The service here is above par. Prices are fair I would say. I can see why they have a lot of good reviews.

Awesome store and great service! Ice cream is homemade and delicious! Hot dogs were great. Nice little store in Downtown. If you’re not trying to spend $30 a person or just need a quick snack this is your place. Highly recommend. We need more mom and pop shops like this! Couldn’t be happier.

Amazing homemade ice cream! Ive been to over 50 ice cream shops all over the US and this shop is among the BEST!Between my husband and I, we sampled 6 flavors and the owner was so friendly and patient! All of the flavors were really good and it was so hard to decide.Im really glad I got the Cinnamon flavor with brown sugar, its honestly the best Cinnamon flavored ice cream Ive had. My mouth waters when I think about it and it even beats out Ben & Jerrys Cinnamon cookie dough that I got in Seaside Village. The brown sugar gives the cinnamon a great kick, and such a unique flavor that I havent had before.My husband enjoyed his 2 scoops of Cheesecake and Blueberry ice cream, the flavors blended well together. Over 20 delicious flavors to choose from, you wont go wrong!

Hadnt been here in a few years as a local. Staying across the street overnight and had a taste for a snack of popcorn during the early afternoon. Got a bag of both the movie style and caramel/cheese combo. So disappointed. Both were extremely stale. Definitely not popped daily.

My kids and I just stopped by and tried this place after school was out today and absolutely love it. The prices are low, there was upfront parking and the ice cream was so delicious and creamy. We had strawberry, coffee, orange cream, double dark chocolate, sweet cream, pure vanilla and Nutella. All flavors were phenomenal.

Great ice cream spot close to the ballpark. Toppings are mixed in to the ice cream on a cold stone and the scoops are humongous. Get a regular or child size unless you are sharing. Also has popcorn and hotdogs you can bring into the ballpark, but didnt try those

My husband and I were visiting San Diego and wanted something for dessert after dinner. The guy inside was really helpful and nice. He even gave us a little gift after we told him we were visiting San Diego for our honeymoon. The ice cream sandwiches were incredible. And they are located right around the corner from Petco Park. We will definitely be coming back!!!! 5 stars!

Great little spot for a snack or treat. We stopped in for their homemade ice cream, which was delicious. My husband had a homemade ice cream sandwich which was so big he couldnt finish it. Share one with a friend! Service was very friendly, I would definitely go again.

Love their ice cream! It was absolutely delicious! However, there are A LOT of baby strollers that get jammed into this place with screaming children. So as long as youre ready for that, youll be fine.Also, please be mindful of sampling. Salted caramel tastes like salted caramel.

Review №31

Hole in the wall atmosphere. Went for ice cream only. We were told their ice cream machine cannot handle chunky things so all of their flavors are smooth. Even mint chocolate chip and butter pecan ( which actually tastes more like cinnamon)! Sloppy large portions make you realize that the ice cream is pretty bland.

The caramel corn is some of the best caramel corn I’ve ever had. The “movie theater” butter popcorn was chewy and had no salt. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

My girlfriend and I went in for a hot dog and some ice cream and ended up meeting Kim, yes, THE Kim. She, along with the other young lady behind the counter, were super friendly and we ended up chatting for quite some time. It was an awesome experience in regards to the food and the hospitality. Will definitely return.

The icecream and the popcorn was good, but they could have done a better job with the cookies. The cookies had a strange taste, and it was mostly tasteless. I understand that their specialty is popcorn, but they could’ve done better. I would recommend the icecream though.

Review №45

When googled too ice cream places, this showed up. So my family and I walked there from cafe sevilla (delicious Spanish tapas). I went for a cone and left with the biggest most delicious cookies sandwich I have ever eaten. I dont what about it, could be the environment, the excitement from my graduation. Either way, this place hit the spot for my craving on ice cream. I know for sure if I ever come back to Cali, this is a place Im coming to again.

CrunchTime the best ice cream, ever! The staff is great, always good jams playing, and theyve got outdoor seating too.Nonna Ds Oatmeal is my absolute favorite. Other great ones to try Sweet as Honey and Odey Gooey Butter cake.Well worth the wait, I promise!

Review №47

The ice cream was decent but quite generic (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, coffee and etc...). Theres not much to set their ice cream apart from something you can find at a grocery store for much less money.I had the ice cream sandwich with coffee flavored ice cream and heath chips. The chocolate chip cookies were terrible- by far the worst cookie Ive had in a long time. It was stale, lacking in flavor and ruined my overall experience. I ate the ice cream and tossed the cookies after only one bite.Do yourself a favor and dont bother coming here, you can buy a half gallon of ice cream at the grocery store for the same amount I paid for one of their chocolate chip cookie sandwich.

It was so Delish !!!They make their own waffles in spot, its crispy and yummier . I loved all flavors but the lavender the most . Its a must try !!!

Ice cream had a piece of hair in it which was unfortunate. Cheddar popcorn packed cheese powder but lacked pow. Kettle corn didn’t deliever as much as I had hoped either. Sorry to say I will not be returning.

Review №56

The kettle corn was sub par and largely overpriced. The cookies were cakey. The ice cream was good and the service was good. Overall, I will not be returning.Edit: my order consisted of the kettle corn, and the ice cream sandwich was the cookies and cream with a chocolate cookie on top.

Heard a lot about this place so I decided to try it...their signature flavor Salted Caramel was too sweet for me, so I opted for the Sobert Caught in the Rain...nice and fruity....It was not bad... But Just OK...
