The menu is mostly the same with a few new additions, but unfortunately the couple who used to run the shop are no longer there. It was disappointing to walk in without the warm welcome that once made this place feel special. The atmosphere just isn't the same and neither is the customer service. My scoop nor cone didn't live up to expectations this time. Waffle cone was soggy and had no taste like it had been sitting out all day and the scoop size was a joke for $9! read more

Not a great variety of flavors and the ice cream isn't anything special. Overpriced for the quality. Staff was friendly though. read more

I wanted to order their special "taco" which is similar to a chocolate taco but made with soft serve. No chocolate, but you can add toppings. It took some convincing for me to order because in my head i didn't think the soft serve would hold up on the taco waffle she'll, but it did.. for the most part. The taco is larger than a chocolate taco so I wasn't able to finish it fast enough before the big melt began. I did add peanuts as a topping and I loved it. Didn't get a chance to take a picture because I was busy eating! This was a last second decision to grab some ice cream before boarding our boat back to San Pedro... I would recommend for the wait in line. read more

We walked in and the couple in front of us recommended the Dulce da Leche flavor. The husband got a double scoop of it. So we both got a single on a sugar cone. OMG it was absolutely amazing!!! read more

Cutest little Ice cream shop! I think it fits only one customer at a time. While the pineapple ice cream treat was great, the customer service was ehhhh. The young girl working was probably irritated at all the customers. I personally, love good customer service and I love to feel welcomed. This place was missing that. Everything in Catalina is expensive and so is the ice cream. I paid a whopping $11 for a mini pineapple coconut Sundae. read more

Catalina Cones - I forgot what this was called but it's a little pineapple coconut sundae. Super good actually !! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Avalon, California

The south side of the pier has been missing Soft Serve ever since the Pic Nic Fry went out of business many years ago. Now it has one again! In summer '24, a small soft serve was $6, which is quite pricey, but it was super refreshing on a hot day. They serve them in cups and cones and they can also dip them in chocolate sauce. Also, 10+ flavor of ice cream to choose from. Recap of Catalina's many ice Cream small businesses (from south to north): Catalina Cones serves soft serve, Thrifty ice cream and assorted other brands; Scoops' ice cream is homemade, Lloyd's serves Dreyer's, Coney Island does soft serve (if there machine is working) and Sailor's Delight serves Chocolate Shoppe ice cream from Wisconsin. read more

This is the #2 ranked ice cream spot of the three we visited on this weekend trip. PISTACHIO ICE CREAM in a cup: -- nice and creamy -- MEDIUM sweet or tad more -- very solid pistachio flavor -- milky and creamy -- the addition of ample pistachio nuts would make this even better RATING = A The wife had a AFFOGATO with coffee ice cream (instead of the usual vanilla) and she liked it. She felt it was expensive but good. It is a very petite cute shop close to where you get off the boats. The STAFF are friendly and their flavor selection is solid. read more

This is a great place to stop and grab something cold and delicious as you try to cool down from the summer heat. You won't be getting 31+ flavors here, but they do have a nice little selection of delicious flavors to choose from. I didn't find the staff here to be very welcoming, but it was a cruise port day on my visit so I think the staff was just busy trying to keep up with the demand. The shop is easily located right off of Pebbly Beach Rd. Just look for the little pink striped building. Overall, everyone in my family enjoyed their selections. It kept them all quite for about 10 minutes, so it was worth every penny to me! Recommended! read more

Brand new and so yummy! We stopped here before heading to our boat ride. The soft serve is outstanding. Make sure you add hot fudge!

The soft serve is the best soft serve but they never have it available. When asked she said they weren't doing it today. No other reason. Lol kind of ridiculous. The previous time I went they were planning on closing early as well and "already cleaned the soft serve machine" so they didn't serve it. Such a shame. read more

Its not even 7pm yet and they closed. Obviously they were cleaning up early. We are from out of town so i guess this is how their business runs, open and close whenever workers feel like it. read more

Service was friendly but no big wow's on the flavor options or on the tastes itself. There's probably a half-dozen ice cream shops along the walk and nothing screamed out at us for one or the other so no regrets, but nothing super to rave about. Coffee was solid. Serving size was fine. Price was decent (all things considered). Seating outside just a few steps away. read more

Great little ice cream shop at the front of town, perfect to beat the summer heat. I ate here 3 times this weekend! The other ice cream shop in town usually has a long line but this place has shorter lines and we're able to get in and out quickly. They have unique and classic ice cream flavors and are made locally in Santa Barbara. We really liked Santa Barbara strawberry and churros con leche. Definitely worth checking out if your craving something sweet on Catalina! read more

Pretty good ice cream, I got the Cappuccino Crunch and it was great! I usually don't finish ice creams but I devoured it and the waffle cone. Honestly the waffle cone was the best part. Service was good as well, it wasn't busy and there was only one employee. The only thing that wasn't so great was that I paid a whopping $12 for this one scoop ice cream. It is what it is I suppose. read more

Ice cream was good but the younger guy working set up square to automatically add a 30% tip on my bill and the timing is setup so fast that I could not correct it. It automatically processed payment. 30% tip without asking and then acting like he knew nothing about it. Beware!!! read more

Signs and website say open until but at 7:00pm they weren't even open at 5:00pm. It's a bit inconvenient and discourteous to have incorrect times of business hours on display if one cannot adhere to it. read more

Incredible ice cream. Really nice owners. Gotta try the Catalina Split! AMAZING!!! Best around.

This is the best ice cream in Catalina! The flavor is spot on, the texture is spot on, and everything needed to make a perfect ice cream is spot on. I definitely recommend this to whoever is visiting Avalon. read more

The owner George is a great guy. This new Ice Cream shop on Catalina is serving up some of the best Ice Cream that is made in Santa Barbara, CA. I highly recommend this shop, it's just getting started and there is no doubt it will be the hit of the town in no time. read more

Got the Avalon dip cones. They melted fast and were a mess but absolutely hit the spot. Fellas I warn you if your girl orders the chocolate dipped cone she gonna be a hot mess and it's on you lol. read more

Delicious! They have soft serve too! Stoked for a new place to get treats when we are on the island. Thank you! We will be back!

The owner was so kind and I've cream was really yummy! Was the only place open past 6pm, so we got some ice cream on our way out.

So yummy and the owner is so kind and welcoming! The Rocky Road is great! Definitely a fun stop before leaving the island!

Worst ice cream place I've been to. Sampled many flavors and they were all horrible and had the texture of sandpaper. The employees obviously did not want to be there and were just sitting there. They gave horrible service and looked annoyed. The "scoop" looked as if they just scraped the ice cream and served it. It was tiny. For that size of a scoop it was very overpriced. read more
