If you believe as I do that ice cream solves everything, or rather great, wholesome ice cream solves everything, this is your place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool pier side location with nice lighting, not a lot of seating, but this is meant to grab and enjoy while walking amongst the boats docked there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Employees were kind and patient as my kiddos sampled nearly everything! I had the malted chocolate with a fish waffle cone which they made right then and there and the combo of cold ice cream with just from the oven cone was great!
When you walk in, you are greeted right away. The vegan options are good. They are tasty. It's like having soft serve big stick. Awesome flavor profiles. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is spacious, and you could enjoy your dessert there or outside with the nice scenic surroundings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The ice cream is good too! Fresh made "fish" was delicious with the cookie monster ice cream. Love it all. Great experience, if you want ice cream, come get some!
After trying the hot fish with the cream from coastal cone... I am obsessed. Everytime I go to the harbor I have to stop and get an order. They are so good and fresh off the press. You almost have to wait a few because they are so hot. The cream on the inside is delicious. The ice cream always looks good as well. But I like these too much to get anything else. This is one of my nieces favorite ice cream shops. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are always busy even on a cold windy day like today. That's how you know it's good![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
I like coastal cone for their sorbet. My niece likes them for literally everything else because according to her 'they have so much good stuff'. Service is always friendly and never rushed. They offer samples but I always get one of their sorbets. Ample parking in a large lot (free only on some days and not the weekends), they are facing the harbor and not the parking lot so you have to walk in to see them.
[[HIGHLIGHT]]what a lovely place to grab ice cream and walk alonside the harbor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] there are so many flavors offered. the staff were really accommodating -- I wanted the ube-matcha remix soft serve and they ran out but they offered the ube soft serve atop the matcha ice cream, which we got with the fish cone ($9.50). loved the fish cone itself -- it was crispy outside and chewy inside. freshly made, it contrasted well with the ice cream. the ube was strong and the texture was good. the matcha was kind of light in color and more icy than creamy but still tasted of matcha. would visit again!
Coastal Cone is a great spot for ice cream cones and sundaes in the Ventura harbor. I definitely understand its popularity, with only so many super kid free options for dining and snacks in the harbor, it's a treat I'm sure many kids look forward to when they come. I mean who doesn't love a good ice cream shop? Always delicious smells coming from this spot as they bake their famous fish ice cream cones. Cute decor and signage makes this place inviting. Since I'm not a huge sweets fan, you'll never catch me coming here when there is a long line lol. Which sometimes there is. However, I've wondered in a few times off speak hours when there were no lines and I could grab a quick bite. I'm one of those people who really has to be in the mood for ice cream. So I've only been here like 3 times in the last 10 years. Upon my most recent visit last week, I came in on a dreary day and there were almost no customers. Staff were friendly but nothing over the top or memorable. They got me in and out which is A-okay on my books. I opted for the pineapple coconut ice cream and it hit the spot. Delicious. Also I will give them credit for it only being one scoop they did load it pretty big. Mainly the reason for my one star just comes down to pricing. Almost $7 for a one scoop cone. To me it's not worth the price but yes, when having a random craving it's fine. But for a family of 5 that's as much as dining in somewhere for a simple ice cream. Idk how people afford it. All of that to say, coastal cone is great for the community, good ice cream, just a bit too pricey for them to be on my regular rotation.
On busy weekends, there are long lines. But it goes quick and they are very well organized on how they handle crowds. Ordered a pineapple float and triple seas drink! Yummy!! Great view. People watching is awesome. Grab a treat and just sit, relax and watch the boats, people and listen to music.
Everytime we come to Ventura harbor, we have to come to coastal cone. Everything slaps! The crew is always friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is patio seating with a nice view of the harbor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually order one of their signature fish cones. Today I ordered a classic fudge sundae. It was $14. I thought it was a little pricey for a basic sundae, buuuuut I did share it withy husband, so what's whatever.
Located right next to the water, Coastal Cone has long been a staple at the Ventura Harbor. It's a great treat to enjoy while walking around. It's also right across the street from the beach, so a quick hop to grab a sweet treat while sitting in the sun. Their menu is so fun and filled with so many different choices that you'd be hard-pressed to not find something you'd like. Their Ube Island was delicious - generous portion of Ube soft serve with Oreo crumbles. A great combination of soft ice cream with the crunchy Oreos. They can definitely get busy here, but they're like a well-oiled machine inside - very efficient with lots of different lines open. It's worth the wait.
Review Insights
I had to try this ice cream place after a relaxing afternoon at the beach. There were like 40 something flavors of ice cream, but I knew I wanted to try one of their fish cones because they're so cute. Went with the classic yaki (short for taiyaki which are the Japanese fish pastries they use) and it did not disappoint. Great vanilla ice cream. The yaki had more ice cream and chocolate syrup inside. And there were nuts and rolled wafers for the toppings. Delish. Service was fast even with a small line. They have multiple cashiers, which is helpful. There are also a couple of servers who bring out the orders, so it was just super efficient. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. There are so many different flavor combos to try! read more
If you're visiting Ventura Harbor Village, don't skip a stop at Coastal Cone & Parlor! It's one of the most popular dessert spots in the harbor, and for good reason. I came here for my favorite Pineapple Dole Whip soft serve, and it definitely hit the spot on a warm day. They offer several serving sizes, including Kids, Small, Regular, and a Waffle Cone, so there's an option whether you're looking for a light treat or something more indulgent. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and had such a relaxed, beach-town vibe that made the experience even more enjoyable. Grab your ice cream and take a stroll around Ventura Harbor Village while enjoying the ocean breeze--it's the perfect way to spend an afternoon. Parking is convenient, with plenty of spaces available. On weekends and holidays, parking is just $1 per hour, making it an easy stop while exploring the harbor. read more

I got the fish with Nutella and match. The match wasn't very green tea flavor which was disappointing. Had to wait a while for them to make the fish. Friend got the cotton candy and liked it. I tried it and it was super sweet. Might try again. read more

Bring back the matcha soft serve or at least update the signage to reflect that flavor is no longer available. Went to get matcha soft serve and I was given a scoop of matcha ice cream which doesn't compare. The staff were nice and offered me a different scoop, which I took, but the ice cream was a weird consistency and partial melted already. Staff said a lot of flavors are off the menu that still show on signage. Please update the menu and signage to reflect what the store currently offers and bring back matcha soft serve please read more
[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this little ice cream shop within the Ventura Harbor! It's adorable and very Instagram worthy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but I do wish they had more vegan options-- especially for the cones. I can no longer do dairy and not being able to get my sorbet in a fish was just so sad!!!! I did like what I ended up with, which was a mango sorbet in a cup, but it was pricey being a kids cup and one scoop in a very small size for over seven dollars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I did take a little tiki skewer and add it to my cone because I thought it was so cute and since it's the holidays at the harbor, it matched nicely with the festively lit up trees.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more
[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a very popular spot at the harbor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Be prepared to wait forever for your selection as it is always crowded. Not a spot that I have to go to necessarily but plenty of ice cream selections. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not a very sit down friendly place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They kindly ask you to wait outside for your name to be called to get your selection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are seats on the inside, but I don't know who's lucky enough to be able to sit down in those.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good luck. read more

In a sunny day while taking a stroll by the pier, what a better treat than ice cream right? It is a little pricey so be prepared for that. They offer a good number of flavors. The store is always busy so be patient with the staff. But as busy as they are, they are always very friendly. Shakea, cones, and sundaes. All evt good. My favorite thing was the taiyaki (fish cone) read more

After eating lunch and walking around the area, I needed a sweet treat to take with me going home and found this parlor. I ordered the 805 shake which consisted of strawberry ice cream and strawberries, and it was surprisingly really good. The lady taking our order was nice and took my allergies into consideration. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small little ice cream place and can go outside to experience the beautiful views and fresh air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think they used thrifty ice cream read more

I have been to the harbor a few times and have seen this place over the past few years but have never stopped to try it. With Top Chocolate gone and the also the Pastry shop; this really is the only sweet treat shop in the harbor now. There is always a line and you wait on the back patio for your order. I got the C4 Ubeyaki and my sister got the C2 Oreoyaki. The are one scoop of ice cream with a Yaki fish on top. The fish is made of a semi-soft waffle with warm Nutella inside. They were good. I feel that at least for the price, you are getting a fancy and delicious treat. read more
Stopped in on a drizzly Saturday and initially had the place to ourselves - Dear Hubby, our 5 year old granddaughter (with a sweet tooth), and me. As there is often a line, it was surprising to walk right up to the counter! The team member who took care of us was right on it with offering samples. They do have some sorbets / ice flavors that are non-dairy, so I was able to order something along with my companions. It would be nice to have options for vegan-style creamy flavors, like some places have, but I did enjoy the Watermelon Ice choice. Sweet Granddaughter tried a few samples and settled on Chocolate Chip. DH had the Cappuccino Chip. Both were happy with their choices. Actually, SG liked my watermelon and ate about 1/4 of it. The interior of the shop is brightly colored with a happy decorating style. The two young people working that afternoon got a rush after we had received our order, so their quiet time was over. They were friendly to all who entered. It's easy to see why this has been a staple business at the harbor for many years. read more
We've made so many visits to coastal cone when visiting Ventura Harbor Village over the years. It used to be just a plain ice cream shop. Now it's new and improved . We're only in town every so often nowadays but of course, can't resist ice cream when walking along the harbour. I don't know when the new owners took over, but the whole place now is much better than it was before. Basically the new menu just has all different kinds of Sundae options. I was much more excited to order this time around because a Sundae is special. If you want cone, they have some great cone options that make it not just a plain ice cream cone. Superb!!!! read more

Great experience! As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the employees. They told us the fish cone would take about five minutes to make and it was absolutely delicious. It was warm and had Nutella inside. The ice cream was creamy and had a great texture. Not pictured was the Oreo Tsunami Milkshake which was thick and had a good amount of Oreos in there. Will be visiting again :) read more
Cute spot near the beach for a sweet treat! Perf to get something here and walk around the shops and enjoy the nice weather/view! My cousin got an ube milkshake and a matchayaki. Both were super sweet, so definitely a sugar bomb. The matchayaki didn't really taste like matcha, as the nutella and oreo bits overpowered the taste. I still liked it, but I wouldn't wait if there was a long line. Luckily, service was fast and we got our order in about 5-7 minutes. Worth a try if you're in the area and craving dessert! read more

YUMMY but a little bit of a gimmick i would say. It is a dressed up, pricier thrifty ice cream scoop (rite-aid brand). It was ~$12 for a scoop of ice cream with taiyaki. The taiyaki is quite yummy and mochi-like though. I will say the service was quite good considering the amount of people that were in line. The location is also quite adorable as it is on the water. I just felt a little scammed discovering what it was. Three of us ordered the fish zookies and one of us ordered just the sundae which was essentially the same exact thing as the fish zookies without the taiyaki but same price. i added photos for observation. read more
Creamy smoothness of the matcha ice cream combined with the thick Nutella filling in the cone made the matchayaki overall delicious. Service was fast and efficient. Ambiance was good too even if going here late on a Friday night. Still available outdoor sitting. Will try other items on the menu read more
I recently visited coastal cone while taking a mini vacation to ventura. They are an ice cream shop serving many different types of ice cream, including soft-serve and was blown away by the experience. The service was superb, with a friendly staff serving up a versatile and extensive menu of flavors, including some exotic options. I tried the ube and matcha swirl, which was absolutely divine. The combination of flavors was unique and delicious. They have so many combinations of ice creams, I love it there! I def want to try the mangonanda and few other items my next visit! I can't wait for my next visit, def a fan and will be dreaming of my next visit! Thank you coastal cone! read more
This place is a a trip, and way too much on the menu so prepare to take your time. The ice cream is definitely gram-able but hit that sweet tooth to the max. 4 star rating just because it seemed a bit over the top and at the end of the day it's just sugar on sugar on sugar, but the concept is great and loved the fish cones! read more

Do they have anything thats vegan?
I think they may have some sherbet that is dairy free.
One of the reviews said the shop is very dog friendly. Do they regularly have dogs there then? I want to take my kids there but have one that is terrified of dogs due to a bad incident.
I haven't seen any inside while ordering... but I've seen dogs tied up to the tables or chairs while people are eating. People also walk their dogs on the sidewalk regularly.
