    Espresso crunch and Cookie Monster.
    Angel A.

    Every cute little town needs an ice cream spot. Colette's fits the bill for Lovers Point. This is definitely the spot to go after date night or to take the kids. All night espresso crunch over a scoop of Cookie Monster on a waffle cone. Space is tight so flavor selection is a bit limited but it hit the spot.

    After lunch, I was craving something sweet, and Colette's was just across the street so I thought I'd check it out. It is a super cute spot. It was a quiet afternoon so I was served very quickly. I got the lemon custard. Normally I will take a few bites of ice cream and be done, but this was so good that I ate the whole cup. It was so delicious. Hope I can get back someday to try more!

    Perfect addition to the sweet town of Pacific Grove. The staff is friendly, cute set up and great ice cream. There is a smaller variety of flavors, but 100% everyone in my group found something they loved. Sit at the side bar or there are tables and chairs outside or if you're up for the challenge the red tile seating area is so fun. Oh and make sure to get a stamp card!!

    While in Carmel, I asked my waiter at my lunch spot for recommendations as I made my way back to Monterey. He mentioned this ice cream shop so you know I had to try this. After a short drive, I relied on my car GPS which led me to a deli about a block away. I wandered a bit before finding this small shop that faced the movie house across the street. After looking at the flavor selection, I decided to get a single in a cup with two flavors, cherries + chocolate and peaches + cream (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=KYj0wUms72B-BX3YWBZvhA); being overcast, it was on the cool side to have ice cream but it hit the spot after my post lunch hike back up the hill from the beach in Carmel. I liked both flavors as my palate leans towards fruity ones. I liked the cherry one slightly more as the chocolate gave it a bit of a bittersweet note as a change of pace. I was the only customer when I walked in but a few parents with children flowed in as I waited for my ice cream. Thank you, Jacey, for answering my questions and giving me a sweet note ending to the afternoon. There are hand packed containers in the refrigerators (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=240&select=XyAgBfjDLg_bDxzyyrRnkQ) to the side as well as souvenirs (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=240&select=BEeVu-YshGDwbdS8rr4AKw).

    Ice cream + a family friendly stop always makes for a good time but even better when the service is so hospitable! The stunning floor to ceiling red tile seating was so beautiful. The look and feel of the ice cream spot is pure downtown magic.

    Wow! On our way down to Carmel, I wanted to stop at this ice cream shop because of its reviews. So glad we did! I tried 2 flavors and told the employee "I'm sorry, but I might try 2 more." After I requested the biscoff ice cream, I laughed and said "never mind. I'm sold." They have the best biscoff ice cream that's to die for. Inside is an interesting seating arrangement so don't expect a place with tables and chairs. Staff was so nice, parking is easy (street parking). I wish they had other locations! Would love to come back and try other flavors.

    On Sunday around lunchtime, I was really impressed with the chocolate peanut butter (5/5 stars) but regret ordering the chocolate cherry ice cream (1/5 stars). It's my favorite flavor combo, but every bite had ice crystals, so either something was up with their production of this batch or their freezer/storage set up. I'm not in the area often so I'm disappointed because I'm hesitant to recommend their ice cream, which is a bummer because the other scoop was really phenomenal, but I don't know if a food safety issue or genuine mistake ruined the chocolate cherry ice cream for me.

    Great ice cream and great service! First time here and the service was pleasing. Good variety of ice cream to pick from and you can ask for samples if you're unsure what to get. Decided to get the Cookie Monster flavor and it did not disappoint, would recommend! Good amount of seating and a lot of public parking

    Great ice cream, love the variety of flavors. The staff is wonderful! Every time I've been in there they've been lovely. One of the guys who works there is like super nice and cute. The red seating to the right of the entrance is EVERYTHING great design & great quality ice cream

    My name is Colette...need I say more?!? I walked out of a brewery across the street from here and stopped dead in my tracks. Immediately ran across the street and found the cutest red and white ice cream shop! The ice cream was SO good! SO creamy and the staff was so nice! I did buy a t shirt and a sticker! This will definitely be a regular spot during every visit!

We waited about 20 minutes to get inside, but once we reached the counter, the ordering process was quick and efficient.

My husband ordered the Apple Pie flavor, and it was just as delicious. The balance of cinnamon and apple was spot on without either flavor overpowering the other.

The honey comb is in large chunks so it brought a great texture throughout the scoop. You can also get unique toppings such as a melted marshmallow or more honey comb.

Some people (like me) were given a buzzer thing that was supposed to let you know when your ice cream was ready to pick up at a separate counter. Some people where just asked their names and their names were called when their order was ready. Unfortunately, the person taking my order forgot to enter it into the computer system until I asked if my buzzer thing was working because it had taken an awfully long time to get a simple small shake. If you are able to find a seat outside at the rear of the store overlooking Monterey Bay the view is awesome, but there is not much of a view from inside seating nor the courtyard seating in the front of the store. They need an assigned person to patrol both inside and outside eating and seating areas since there is such a high volume of customers, the eating and seating surfaces need to be better cleaned. The shake was OK, nothing spectacular and it was less ice cream than milky (I saw them adding liquid to the ice cream machine just before my order was prepared so maybe it had not had enough time to freeze properly). As with most Cannery Row businesses there is no parking close by. This business does not seem to have any bathroom facilities nor anywhere for parents to wash off the sticky sweet treats from the hands and faces of their kids.

The "handmade" ice cream sign caught my eye, so we decided to give it a try. I got the butter pecan. If you like super creamy, rich, milky-style butter pecan, this may not be for you. Their ice cream has more of an icy texture with a lighter flavor. I actually enjoyed it since I'm not a fan of overly creamy or overly sweet ice cream. It felt lighter and more refreshing. The rainbow sherbet had the same icy texture. One thing is that the ice cream melts very quickly, almost watery, even in 65-degree weather, so have napkins ready. One complaint was the scoop sizes. Our scoops were noticeably smaller compared to other customers being served around the same time, so the portions felt inconsistent for the price. Overall, if you prefer lighter, less sweet ice cream, you may enjoy this spot- just hope you get a generous scoop!
