Delicious! Amazing, clean ingredients. 10/10 recommend!! Owner was very kind and excellent service.

Delicious ice cream and a nice vibe. Grabbed a sampler with lemon meringue, ube, vanilla and a staff recommended cookie dough. Every bite was better than the last. Also relatively cheap for good ice cream and Costa Mesa. Was around 9 bucks for 4 quality scoops. Vibe is a shared space in SoCo, so grab lunch and stop by here after. read more

Climb Ice Cream - Sampler with cookie dough, ube, vanilla, and lemon meringue. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This little gem is located inside of the SOCO mix Plaza. We've bought a pint of almost every single flavor and have loved all of them. However, the one that takes, the cake has to be the chocolate ube. They make the perfect little last-minute dessert at home or as he gets to bring two people's home read more

Climb Ice Cream is at SOCO & The OC Mix in Costa Mesa, founded by JoJo, with flavors built around climbing, travel, whole ingredients, and dairy-free oat milk options. Climb Ice Cream is such a sweet addition to SOCO & The OC Mix. You can feel JoJo's passion the second you walk in. This started from her own kitchen and taste-testing process, and that love shows up in the flavors, the space, and the way everything feels intentional. My daughter tried the vegan Strawberry Holds Forever, made with oat milk, and my other daughter had the gluten-free Cookies & Cream, which is honestly so hard to find done well. I sampled both, and they were creamy, clean, and delicious. I also love that the ice cream is made with real ingredients like sugar, eggs, milk, and cream, with no artificial colors or flavors. The cones smell absolutely delectable the second you walk in. The location is perfect too. It's right near Portola Coffee Lab and surrounded by great little food spots, so you can grab a bite, get a coffee, and finish with a scoop. This is the kind of place that feels personal, thoughtful, and made with a lot of care. More on social media: @ratedbymaryam read more

Right in the middle of SOCO shopping center. Like really in the middle - an interior walk-up shop where you order and then can go find communal seating. Be sure to ask for samples! Very friendly owner who told us she named the place Climb because climbing is her passion outside of ice cream! Unique and yummy flavors! We tried the cupcake circus (cupcake ice cream with frosted animal circus crackers) and cookies n cream. Everything was delicious and she threw in some extra sugar cones for our kids - a very nice touch. Ran us $14 for two scoops with tax and small tip included as of Mar 2026. read more

Climb Ice Cream - Cupcake circus with an extra courtesy cone! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This incredible ice cream shop is located inside the OC Mix. The flavors are posted on the wall next to the walk-up window. I saw several flavors that I wanted to try, so decided to get a flight sampler which consists of 4 flavors. The pleasant woman behind the window (who I suspect is the ice cream artist) scooped my chosen flavors: Salty Caramel, Send It! Coffee, Strawberry Brownie, and EPiC Horchata. Each very different in taste. My flight was served with a piece of waffle cone. It was lunch hour so all of the seating inside was taken but there were plenty of tables outside on this beautiful afternoon. All the scoops were creamy-delicious. The Salty Caramel had salty caramel ice cream with chocolate bits and brownie pieces and tasted just as you imagine. The Send It! Coffee had a bold flavor (Yay!) and chocolate bits sprinkled throughout. Strawberry Brownie had smooth strawberry flavor with delectable pieces of brownie. The cinnamon flavor within the Horchata was a bit weak for my taste but otherwise yummy. If you are an ice cream lover who values quality and taste, this is the place you must visit. read more

Newly established ice cream place within the OC Mix. The owner Jojo is very friendly and welcoming, with extremely unique flavors, from an Ube Chocolate chip, Spicy Apple Pie and even a Vegan Chocolate raspberry. The ambience was inviting with a wide variety of different food options within the area. They also sell pints for $11 which is a great option if you enjoy any of their flavors individually! Would highly recommend this place to anyone within the area with a sweet tooth! read more

Climb Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Unique, fun flavors and INCREDIBLY reasonable prices!! Climb ice cream just opened their first brick and mortar store - after ordering their ice cream online for months it's so nice to come sit and enjoy a scoop then and there. The ice cream is delicious and thick and she does not skimp on portions. I highly recommend the cupcake circus or the ube, and her oat-based nondairy choices are also great, even as a dairy-eater!! The owner is super nice and loves to talk about her flavors and the inspiration behind them. Take your scoops and check out some of the oc mix shops, sit outside, or enjoy the vibes of the marketplace. Parking is plentiful :) read more

I really like their ice cream. I think the quality and the texture is excellent. I always pick up their ice cream whenever I am at the area.

10/10 hands down! I felt so welcomed and the worker (owner?) was so nice and pleasant to chat with! I couldn't decide so I opted for the flight and selected the Yuzu with lemon chocolate chips (deliciously citrusy!) the horchata (really nice and not overpowering flavor), strawberry brownie (this had the perfect strawberry flavor) and the chocolate crux (I adored this one, deep chocolate flavor and nice chewy brownie bites). For $8.50 that was an absolute steal for how much you get. I will 100% be back to try more flavors! read more

This place is awesome. JoJo is the owner and she is fabulous. She's combined her passion for climbing and ice cream together and she makes all the ice cream in house herself. My favorite part is that she also has a plenty of vegan and gluten-free options and everything is delicious. Make sure to ask for samples. Also, the flight is the best way to go in terms of value portion and variety of choice. Hundred percent will be coming back. read more

So glad we stumbled upon this place after getting burgers next door. Flavors were more than your run of the mill but not too outlandish - and everyone loved what they got! I especially liked their pistachio ice cream. It's hard to find a gluten free cookies and cream, let alone a super good one! Will definitely be back. read more

Really great original flavors of ice cream. Lots of diversity and options for toppings and upgrades and cones. Gluten-free options are clearly labeled and there's a lot of them and everything tastes great. There's even b some vegan options as well. The owner was terribly polite and kind and answered all my questions. Ice cream is made on site and is super creamy made with quality ingredients. Prices are comparable that any of the mainstream places for a whole lot better quality, and a lot better customer service. Come on down and support a small business I have celiac disease And was finally excited to have Oreo cookies and cream again at an ice cream shop. There's a ton of other things to do around here while you're eating your ice cream it's a fun place to go on a date or just to hang out. read more

I visited the OC Mix and was pleasantly surprised to find that Climb Ice Cream was open! The owner is an experienced climber and an exceptional ice cream maker, and the flavors also have climbing inspired names. We tried the pandan and vanilla v3. The pandan ice cream was authentic and delicious, and the vanilla was also amazing! I love the texture as well, very smooth and rich, a nice balance between soft and dense. We can't wait to come back and try all the other flavors! read more

What a hidden gem at OC Mix. This place deserves more attention! Interesting and unique flavors! Loved the salted caramel and the generous flight option for $8. The sample portions were also super generous! A local business that makes everything in house from scratch in the same facility. It's quite impressive! read more

Had an incredible visit last night! The owner, Jojo, is so sweet and explained that she hand-makes everything without any additives, which I love. I tried the Chocolate Raspberry and Peach Pie, and both were delicious. My boyfriend went for a flight mix of Pistachio, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Strawberry Brownie, and Coffee. Every single one was a hit! It's rare to find such clean ingredients and amazing flavors at such a good price. We'll be back for sure. read more

Cute small shop in SoCo. Hope it does well. Unique flavors, ice cream to go and vegan options.

The ice cream was delicious! My favorites were the Ube Chocolate Chip and Salty Caramel. A flight sampler is the way to go if you want to try four flavors at one time. Of course, you can ask to sample the flavors before buying. I will definitely be back again soon. The owner was so nice and friendly as well. read more

Climb Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I was standing there staring at all the incredible flavor options, unable to decide, until I spotted their ice cream flight! It was the perfect solution.I tried the Chocolate Crux, Salted Caramel, Pistachio Road, and a Yuzu flavor (the name escapes me, but the taste didn't!). Chocolate is always my default, and the Chocolate Crux did not disappoint, it's rich and chocolatey with the perfect amount of mix-ins.I was actually surprised that the Yuzu was my second favorite; it was so bright and citrusy. The Salted Caramel definitely isn't afraid to bring the salt, and the addition of chocolate makes it feel extra indulgent. Finally, the Pistachio Road provided a lovely, light contrast to the richer scoops. Every flavor had a perfectly silky, smooth texture making the flight an ideal choice for exploring the menu. read more

I had the loveliest experience here. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, but what really made my visit was the lady behind the counter.
