    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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!

    I came here during a visit to the Monterey Bay Area after I had dinner nearby. I had the butter pecan scoop and it was delicious. Staff was friendly and there wasn't a really long line. I liked it so much I went back a few days later and a lot of the flavors had changed which I liked. I recommend visiting Colette's for a good scoop. Go back and try a different flavor if you've been before.

    Coconut ice cream has real slivers of coconut in it. Yum. Perfect dessert spot after dinner.

    This is in downtown Pac Grove and is delightful. The coffee almond fudge and service were wonderful.

The ice cream was exceptionally smooth, buttery, flavorful and not too sweet. My parner loves his banana caramel so much that we came back the next day just to get him a pint of it.

They also have a baby size for just $2.25, which is honestly the perfect way to try a flavor. Now let me tell you...this ice cream is RICH. That baby cup is actually enough to satisfy you. Of course, it tastes so good that you're going to want a bigger size anyway! We watched them hand-whip the ice cream right in front of us, and you can absolutely taste the difference. I got the Brown Butter Pecan, and every single bite had me closing my eyes just to enjoy it. That's how good it was.And don't even get me started on the homemade waffle cone...OH. MY. GOD. It was fresh, warm, crispy, and absolutely amazing. It took the whole experience to another level. This place is worth every bit of the hype and worth every minute of the wait. I'd give it a 9/10 without hesitation. You really can't go wrong with great ice cream. Sometimes a scoop of amazing ice cream just makes the world a little better.

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!

OKAY THE ICE CREAM: * I had gotten their butter pecan and as much as I wanted to love it, it did not taste like anything. There were bits of butter in the ice cream but no pecans- I was so bummed! * My partner had gotten their Cookies by the Bay Sundae which was pretty yum.
