    a large display of food in a restaurant
    Jenn M.

    I always forget there's a Fru-ta in Rincon Valley! I stopped by with my little brother for an ice cream date and when we walked in staff was very welcoming and polite. While I did find the price point for 2 ice creams and 2 drinks on the higher end than what I expected, both the ice creams and drinks were honestly really good. The shop is very clean and indoor/outdoor seating is ample. I had the Nutella ice cream and a Strawberry drink. My brother had a Raspberry ice cream and Guava drink. We enjoyed our ice cream outside and enjoyed the sun. Overall Fru-ta is a must try if you have a sugar craving, bonus points because most choices on the menu are preservative/additive free. Friendly staff, yummy choices. 9/10.

    Small scoop of Rum Raisin and Chongo Zamorano

    Now don't get me wrong; Fru-ta has some pretty tasty ice cream here. But when compared to some of the other local favorites like Noble Folk and Two Dog Night, their ice cream is average. Ended up stopping here for a night cap before hitting up Howarth Park. I actually wanted to go to Noble Folk, but my friend was raving about this place, so we decided to stop by for some ice cream. Fru-ta actually has several locations within this area, so you can refer to it as a local chain ice cream shop. They specialize mainly in popular Mexican ice cream flavors, but of course a few classics are also on the list. I personally adore Mexican ice cream, so I was super excited to try this small ice cream chain. This particular location is located in a small shopping center. At the time that we went, the inside was closed and they had a small kiosk right in front of their building where you could place your order (I think they've opened the inside again since my visit). Ended up ordering a small size of their Rum Raisin and Chonga Zamorano. What's nice is that they are still allow in f samples during COVID. I was able to sample a few until k finally settled on those two flavors. A small size is definitely small. If that's what you're truly going for, then it will fit the bill. This is a shop that won't hit you with that hefty scoop game, but the prices are cheap and you get what you pay for. Both ice cream flavors were really yummy. Not as creamy as you'd find at Noble Folk or Two Dog Night, but it still hits the spot. They also weren't offering waffle bowls or cones at the time, but I'm sure they've resumed this since then. Would have loved to enjoy my ice cream in a cone, and maybe they would have given me a little bit more. The lady working the kiosk was super sweet and helpful. Service is definitely on point. I don't know... maybe I'm spoiled by the creameries in the area, but nothing really stood out to me here. I would still come back to try out some of their other flavors. In fact, I do plan on it since I'm in the area frequently. Plus, the restrictions have gotten a lot less strict since my last visit, and I'd like to see what it's like post-COVID.

    Rose petal and cheese

    I have been coming here since I was little. I continue to love it. I love their ice cream, their bionicos (fruit salad with cream, granola and coconut and raisins), their aguas frescas. My favorite ice cream flavors are queso (cheese), chongos, mamey, and rose petal.

    Coffee Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
    Paula N.

    The staff were amazing and very patient! She allowed us to taste test some of the flavors and was being very kind throughout my interaction with her. I had the coffee and peanut butter chocolate chip scoop in the smallest cup size. The coffee tasted good as expected! There was a cappuccino flavor I taste tested that was similar and contained nuts in it! The peanut butter chocolate chip flavor was amazing! There was no big peanut butter cup chunks in it and was more blended in with the ice cream than other places I have been to, but I prefer this! Would come here again to satisfy an ice cream/yogurt fix.

    Acai Bowl
    Haley N.

    Did not know they did Açaí bowls here and boy am I glad that they do! Tasted so fresh and made with organic granola it was truly one of the best açaí bowls and not overpriced at all. Very filling and such a friendly environment. Can't wait to go back and keep supporting! Got one for my friend who is a diehard açaí bowl lover and she absolutely loved it so if you like them, definitely try out Fru*ta next time you're craving one, you won't regret it!

    Paletas galore!
    Vandana M.

    Lucky find after a walk at Howarth Park. So many amazing flavors to choose from and the paleta stacks were mesmerizing. Got the mango chile paleta and kid had strawberry cookies and cream ice cream. I wish I lived in town so I could come more often! But will try to visit my family here more frequently now that I know this deliciousness is nearby

    cookies n creme (left), blackberry cheese (bottom), banana chocolate chip (right)
    Minah L.

    Haven't been here in a while and forgot how much I love it! They have a few fresh house-made drinks and a huge selection of ice cream & fruit/cream-based paletas, also vegan-friendly. We got their triple scoop in a waffle bowl for $6.75, great deal for three large scoops. The server was patient and let us sampled a few flavors before we decided on blackberry cheese (love this), cookies n creme (also love), and banana chocolate chip (boyfriend loved). I like that they use wooden spoons but my one suggestion would be to replace the styrofoam with a more eco-friendly/compostable alternative!

    Ice Cream
    Isabel S.

    Healthy ice cream option Enjoyed the variety & so many selections. Lady wasn't sure what the Rose ice cream was. I asked if someone could explain to me what the taste is since there's no samples atm because of COVID. Ended up getting Strawberry & Cookies and cream which was okay. Second scoop was Peach Yogurt which was good.

    Nikki M.

    the food is really good, i recommend getting the nutella and dolce de leche it melts in your mouth, they have a lot of options we always come back for more! :)

    single scoop of blackberry cheese. garrett has the pistachio.

    Great Staff | FAVORITE PLACE TO GET ICE CREAM $ If you LOVE ice cream, stop going to those other ice cream places like Cold Stone Creamery and Baskin Robbins 31. Those are chains; support your local businesses! I always end up chugging a gallon of water every time after I have a scoop... or two. I believe there are 2 locations. LOTS of items on their menu and a great clean interior. Every time I go there, which is pretty often, it's always clean. The staff always greets you and offers you samples. They don't make me feel rushed at all. Made from all natural ingredients! Their flavors are super bold whereas other places have a muted flavor. They have different flavors from cheese to fruits I've never heard of before. I love their strawberry cheese cake, pistachio, nutella, blackberry cheese, and any coffee flavor. I'm not a regular there... lol

Your ice cream was so good I'm craving it from San Francisco!…read more We were visiting Santa Rosa and we wanted to treat ourselves to some ice cream after lunch. I searched Yelp for a good ice cream spot and found Nimble & Finn's. Upon entering, we were surprised by the really cute decor and ambiance of the place. They had unique and creative ice cream flavors and I really liked that they combined two of my favorites - Lavender and Honeycomb. They also had Creme Brûlée, which I also liked, so I convinced my husband to get it. I'm glad he got that coz I got to try both and was very satisfied. Even my husband who is not really into sweets actually enjoyed his ice cream and finished it! Oh how I wish they had a location here in SF so I can just have it any time and try their other flavors. But if you're ever in Santa Rosa, you got to give Nimble & Finn's a try. It's totally worth it. Also bring a cooler with you so you can bring home this ice cream goodness!

Waited in the lobby for a while for them to finish their conversation before one came out to get me my order from their fridge/freezer beneath the counter. It was already inside a plastic bag, which was a little strange to me, and prompted me to ask if a spoon had been put inside. Seemed it would make sense for that to be standard practice for to go ice cream orders, but I'm glad I checked! Lady behind the counter said no and retrieved one. Opened the bag in the car to find the ice cream had been melted (perhaps left out on the counter?) to a soupy consistency, tipped on its side when put in the freezer, and refrozen partially in the lid. When I got to work at 1:20, it had completely melted back into a liquid, soup-like consistency again. At least it was no longer in the lid, I guess? When I opened it to try to eat it, I found I'd been given the wrong flavor (seemed to be cake batter flavor). The add ins hadn't been cut up very well, and were either smashed flakes or giant chunks the size of my finger. Ended up just throwing the whole thing out, which was really disappointing for something I'd just spent $10-something on (and tipped 15%). Grew up with coldstone as a special occasions treat, but will not be back again.

The crust is delectable and the ribbons are just sweet enough for me. I nibbled my way through that thing over a couple of weeks. The fruit adorning the pastries always had a great flavor to them. The coup de cour with blueberries was the most interesting I'd say. I really liked the balance between the fruit and the chocolate in the center. It wasn't too sweet which was great. The one thing I haven't tried are the actual loaves of bread. I grab too many pastries when I've gone, but I'll make sure not to get distracted the next time.
