    The shop it's self
    Kristi C.

    It's a very small place that sell ice cream , shakes and coffees maybe 3 people can fit in there , the older man helping us was great it's a small town shop in bodega bay hidden in the back of a hot dog restaurant. Ice cream was great and it was pretty busy the whole time we were there give it a try

    Look at the size of a single scoop!

    After a warm day at the beach with my grandchildren, having ice cream was a perfect ending to our day. Thankfully, Captain Davey's was close by. Although it was busy, the line moved quickly. The portions are quite large which delighted my grandkids. I had the espresso blast which was delicious. The man serving was friendly and efficient. This place is tiny with no indoor sitting but there were several tables outdoors. I was pleasantly surprised by the cost- all 3 of our ice cream orders came to just under $10.

    Well, updating my review sadly. Last year this guy and his little coffee and ice cream shop were part of our vacation and I remembered him and his shop fondly. However, on our way down Hwy 1 driving back home from a beautiful vacation we decided we stop here for some ice cream. There was a line so I waited. Once to the front I ordered 2 shakes and a cone. This was a bigger/harder order than he felt like making and he let me know! Now had my hubby not been in the car set on ice cream and had I not been vacation nothing really matters vibing I would have told him to have the day he deserves and left, but instead I listened to him whine like a little girl and even tipped him really well. Because you know he isn't gonna screw with my mood. Our shakes were delicious. Now I am home and my thoughts are.. any coffee/ice cream shop especially a coastal vacation destination shop is defined in my mind by the vibe- the way you feel while you're there. Maybe he should get someone else to help as he is clearly overwhelmed. We will find our coffee and ice cream elsewhere next time.

    Captain Davey himself is really sweet. This is a cool, small local spot that serves up ice cream and coffee. Views across the street are awesome.

    I haven't been here in years...and this time I've brought my kids! A very nice & patient man helped us with our ice cream order. We tried the peanut butter chocolate, mint chocolate chip, cookies'n'cream, & chocolate. ALL of it was still delicious & refreshing (good sized scoops too)! There's a good group of outdoor tables to sit at. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area again.

    What a funny little hole in the wall! We needed a caffeine boost and this was the closest stop on our Bodega Bay visit, and it felt like a local staple hidden gem. DRINKS: Love that they have a variety of coffee drinks, all done to perfection! We really enjoyed the white mocha, latte, and chai - they offer spiced, sweet, or mixed. I appreciated that! ICE CREAM: We didn't try the ice cream this trip, but it looked so/so. They had the pastries sitting in the ice cream freezer on top of some, so it was hard to see all options and felt a little cluttered. SERVICE: Was helpful and positive, but a bit slow: note that they use the espresso machine to make drinks one by one, so it takes a bit longer. INTERIOR: Somewhere between kitschy and unorganized. Loved the local artwork hanging and maximalist decor, but behind the counter's mess made it seem like it could be a bit cleaner. Good local stop for coffee!

    They make the most amazing espresso milk shakes and the lady that has been there both times that I have come here to get one was very friendly and polite. This place is like a breath of fresh air. What's better than a nice cold milkshake on a hot summer day? I don't know. You tell me. I just discovered this little hidden gem yesterday, now I'm sitting outside it drinking one of their shakes For the second day in a row. And it's easy to say that anytime I'm in the area of Bodega bay I will be stopping by!

    The tiny shop is next to the Hot Dog stand, also popular.

    Although I didn't have a coffee here they seem to do a robust business in that arena. I came for the ice cream and it was DELICIOUS! Soft and creamy, the consistency was perfect and the array of flavors impressive for such a teeny tiny shop. (Literally two people barely squeeze inside). Having the Butter Cream was my favorite, on a waffle cone; but I did return again for a Pistachio Almond... also good, but not as good as the Butter Cream. Divert off Highway 1 for just a bit, by the Post Office, and you won't regret it. Staff is very friendly and masks are requied.

    Great ice cream & coffie. Service was excellent & helpful. Very peaceful environment. Come & visit the coast/ocean and enjoy the sites & have a treat at Captain Davey's, you will be happy.

    Super prices.

    Tucked away at at Bodega Bay, this is a small gem to find. The ice cream is great, even if it is blowing a Gail and cold as heck. But you can counter that with a hot beverage as well. Check out the menu prices, amazing value for sure. Everyone loved their drinks. I tried the chai but found it a little watery in flavor to what I prefer but was a good blend of sweet and spicy. It has a great seating area and you can watch the wind surfers etc. from the parking lot. Will be back for sure. Enjoy.

    The line to the ice cream shop.

    For surely hole in wall. The wait was wayyyyyyy too long for an ice cream. Probably the owner was all by himself and that could be the reason. The ice cream itself was okay but it was a very generous portion.

They have a rotating menu of items along with their mainstays, so depending on when you come, you can try something new. They have standard flavors like vanilla and chocolate, along with some more creative and off the wall like black sesame, I think there was a lavender, and more. I got the flight of 6 mini scoops. I can't remember my exact flavors, but the ice cream is so creamy, not crystallized- it's almost like gelato. I couldn't finish my ice cream because even as a mini it was so much (I should have shared) but it was absolutely delicious. I've been here a few times and there's always a line, but it moves really fast. The folks behind the counter hustle! It's such a cute place and such a mainstay of Healdsburg that I'll be back.

The worker was so friendly, answered any questions I had, and even offered some recommendations. I tried: - Dutch Cookie - Strawberry Miso Butterscotch - Salted Caramel - Cornflake Maple - Housemade "Oreo" - Vanilla Bean They were all good & not super sweet! They are very generous with their servings for such a good price. The rest of my party all had pies with ice cream. The pies are warmed up, so they make the perfect combination with the ice cream. There's not much seating inside, but we were able to sit in the few seats they did have to enjoy our food. We all had a great dessert on a sunny Sunday post-lunch.
