Great ice cream. Rude service. I went back to the counter to ask them for an ice cream cup. They wanted to charge me $.25. I let them know that we ordered it in a cup, and I was just asking for the cup we ordered. They ended up giving the cup to me for free, but refused to acknowledge my presence thereafter and insisted that I was the one that ordered wrong. Im guessing they are trying to prevent 2 people from splitting/sharing ice cream by splitting it into a cup. Otherwise, I cant understand why the were so irritated with me. But, if they were really paying attention they would have noticed that we orders 5 ice creams for all 5 people in our group. Either way, its a mistake to be rude to your paying customers over a paper cup that probably costs them less than a nickle.

Every time we come to San Diego it’s a tradition to visit Mr. Frostie! We never missed. We are never disappointed. Awesome selection, good quality and flavor in every product. Today I’ll do chocolate shake.

So bomb. Probably the best ice cream parlor Ive ever had the pleasure of eating at... And thats based solely on the ice cream & customer service. Ill re-review their other foods at a later date.

It’s hard to not love Mr. Frostie. A San Diego ice cream staple, this spot has never disappointed me. They have a pretty big selection, ranging from sundaes to splits to various dipped ice cream cones. I’ve always been partial to the odd combo of cherry-dipped coffee ice cream. It’s also pretty cheap and the location lends itself to a nice stroll while eating/licking (they also have outside seating). Definitely gotta hit Mr. Frostie whether you’re exploring San Diego or just a native on another beach day.

We love this place and so does our little one. One of the few spots where you can get dipped cones! Usually a little bit of a line but always worth it.

Mr. Frosties has been a PB institution for a long time. They have 2 flavors, chocolate and vanilla plus a swirl and every single topping you can think of. What makes Mr. Frosties great is the quick walk-up window, tons of toppings, novelties, sandwiches, friendly service, and very affordable prices.

Review №17

Wonderful soft-serve ice at a great value. Usually get a chocolate and vanilla twist cone dipped in butterscotch, but sometimes pick the special flavor of the month. This is definitely my favorite spot for soft-serve.

This is the best ice cream place in the beach area. Great prices, great staff. Hot fudge cake and root beer floats are always a great treat! Limited parking.

Ice cream was very tasty. Staff was very helpful. Maintenance system was perfect here. They have nice sitting area. I strongly recommend it.

Review №20

I thought the prices were on the higher side, until I started eating the ice cream and realized they didnt just put a tiny amount of hot fudge on top like the big chain ice cream places. It probably had as much fudge as ice cream, half way through I didnt think I was going to finish it, but had to because it was so good.

SO

Classic soft serve ice cream sundaes. Large banana split or hot fudge sundaes with all the toppings for only $5. I got the All American it was definitely worth the price after a hot sunny day. Check it out after a long day at the beach. They have soft serve cones and shakes too. It a San Diego family tradition.

We stumbled across this place because we happened to park by it. This place has the bomb soft serve and is hella cheap. Paid less than 4 bucks for a large cone chocolate dipped. The large was big enough for my husband and I to share! Definitely making a trip back to this place!!!!

There is a sneaky parking spot next to the blue trash can (near sidewalk in corner of lot thats opposite of Garnet St) if lot and street parking is full. Expect a long line around dinner time. Plenty of table seating. Softserve Ice cream is exceptional, I get the sundae everytime so I cant speak on much else.

If I can give more than 5 stars, I would! My favorite icecream joint in San Diego! I have been a customer here for over 10 years and can say that the price + quality of icecream + friendliness of staff has not changed. Would highly recommend! It is definitely the local shop that everyone loves!

Review №73

I called to find out their special flavor, but they had just ran out. The guy asked what flavor I would want..of course I said peanut butter. He fulfilled my request and a few hours later I was able to enjoy a delicious PB twist cone 😋My only complaint about this place is that their blizzard lacked candy, otherwise their ice cream is creamy and delicious.

Review №74

Always love this place. Almost always a line. But worth it! Get the hot fudge malt or just a chocolate dipped waffle cone (whippy dip!). Hope youre around forever!

Review №75

I was always amazed at how someone could put ice cream into hot melted chocolate and it wouldn’t melt. Instead, the chocolate would freeze. Haha. I’m glad my middle school was a block away and I could stop by this place on my way home!

Best local soft serve ice cream shop in pacific beach. Family owned and operated since forever. Anything you want they serve it. Little known fact they serve great chili in a cup or on a dog. Also try the sandwiches if you are looking for lunch. Ask for Lucky to meet the one and only person named Lucky 7. No joke. :)

Im visiting from Las Vegas and walk down to the beach every day. Accidentally noticed this place. Not a big ice cream eater, but decided to have one anyway. Was amazing. Decent priced too.... ( they must be using more natural things than Ive had in Vegas :-)
