Ice cream here it's very tasty! You can tell the quality of their gelato, it is super creamy and very rich. Have a great writer, dairy free options available as well. The gelato as well as the coffee was excellent, perfect spot to grab some ice cream before heading down to the beach. Located right on the main shopping street, parking is sparse but you should be able to find some thing in the area and walk within a block or two. Highly recommended! read more

I've been craving some afogato for a while, but wherever I went so far didn't have afogato due to limited availability.(literally sold out everywhere I don't know why! Probably we visited at least 5 gelato shops and Italian restaurants) Fortunately, this place had one! Afogato was ok, the gelato might have been a little bit too sweet or espresso wasn't strong enough or both... it was ok:) This place has very pretty outdoor seating and located in the heart of Downtown Encinitas, I enjoyed staying and admiring the city since Encinitas is one of the prettiest town in my opinion. I'd love to try other gelatos as it is next time! read more

This is a very nice gelato place in the busy strip of Encinitas. It was like walking into a nice little house with a pretty front yard where you can sit. They have really good coffee, affogato and other drinks to cool you off. I'm a sucker for anything with hazelnut chocolate, or some unique flavor. I went straight for the Nutella crunch, and it definitely was the right decision. It was delicious, smooth textured, and just perfect for a warm summer day. The seating area is really cool, you feel like you're sitting outside a nice cottage as you get to people watch and enjoy your cold treat. The service was great, and overall a really good experience while visiting the city of Encinitas. read more

These past few days have been pretty hot outside. We wanted to cool down with some gelato Gelato is a frozen dessert that originates in Italy. It is similar to ice cream with the main difference being that gelato uses less fat and is packed with flavor. We ordered the black vanilla, pistachio, and sugar free hazelnut in one cup. And we also got the tiramisu, mixed berry, and the sea salt caramel in another cup. Each flavor packed such a strong punch, and each taste very different from the others. We highly recommend we try out Gelato 101! Especially if you haven't had gelato before, we premise you'll enjoy your visit ‍‍ read more

My daughter and I are always in pursuit of amazing acai bowls. We actually drove over to Encinitas to try Eve but their hours changed. Lucky for us Gelato 101 is across the street. What a super cute place! We loved the whole vibe. It was a beautiful morning to sit outside and enjoy our bowls. We got the Peanut Butter and the Go Nuts Bowl. Both were excellent. Very generous portions, creamy (not watery) acai base, fresh fruit, delicious granola! Not too sweet, just very refreshing. The bowls are fairly priced at $11 & $12. I have paid more for sub-par acai bowls. I can't wait to bring my husband. I have a feeling this will be our new go to spot. read more

Popped in here with the fam bam for a quick treat, and ended up with an entire experience! The flavors & presentation of both the homemade gelato & ambiance was Amazing! My kids swear that this is the best gelato they've ever had, and hubby & I agree! Each & every person working here obviously takes pride in this fantastic business & exudes kindness, and made us feel like family. We will be back again very soon! read more

Gelato 101 definitely lives up to the hype! There was a long line, and I can totally see why. The service is fantastic, and the gelato is truly amazing. They also offer other options like boba and acai bowls, which is a nice touch if you're looking for more variety. The outdoor seating area is so cute and adds to the charm of the place. If I'm ever in Encinitas again, I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This is the best Gelato in America ... And it is good to know that it is way healthier than ice cream , they use organic product and the patio reminds me my trips in bali cause of the Indonesian furniture, perfect match for a beach town like Encinitas. And the coffee ? Forget other places !! read more

Best store in the area. I always come to either get an açai bowl or gelato or Boba and it always hits. I recommend if you are coming to visit from the beach could to come here because it is definitely as good as people say it is. read more

Wow--what an overwhelming amount of ice cream choices! This place seriously has everything,…read moreincluding a bakery and coffee, so it's a great one-stop spot. Service was pretty quick, which I appreciated. They also offer gluten-free cookies and other baked goods, which is a nice bonus. That said, the gluten-free cookie on its own was pretty bland--but I could see it being much better paired with ice cream. One thing to note: they don't really offer a kids size, and when I asked for smaller portions, they said it would still be charged as a regular--so parents of little ones, just a heads up! The ambiance wasn't super inviting--more of a "grab your treat and go" vibe--but with its prime location near the beach, it's easy to see why it stays busy. Overall, still worth checking out!

Not worth the difficult parking…read more Food: 1/5 One flavor is three scoops of ice cream. We ordered two flavors, which was four scoops, hoping we could split the ice cream into two cups so we would each have two scoops. We asked our server if they could split the ice cream for us--just put two Ube Matcha scoops in one cup, two Cookies and Cream scoops in another. This is against company policy, but they were willing to give us a second cup so we can surgically operate on the mixed ice cream and split it ourselves (??). The Matcha Ube was more green tea flavored than matcha or ube. The Cookies and Cream was good. The ice cream--even if three scoops for one flavor--is just not worth the street parking or flavor mashing. There are other better ice cream places. Service: 3/5 Nothing to say or add. No bad news is good news. Atmosphere: 2/5 Holy overstimulation. There were two other families in the ice cream parlor with us, and we were all being serviced at once at the cashier. It's too small of a room to do that. I would recommend this place to kids 12 and under who live down the street and need a quick sweet treat. Final rating: 2/5

I will need to go back to try more flavors.

I had already had two pastries on a beautiful Friday. It was two in the afternoon, and I fully…read moreexpected there to be no pastries left when I ducked my head in the door at la Petite Bakery. But, God loves me! And so, there, before my Eyes, was the last remaining cinnamon roll of the day! I purchased it, and carried it to my car, where I sat and took a bite. I was delightfully, surprised by the flakiness, combined with cheweyness that was now part of my bocal experience. To be very honest, I wish that the cinnamon paste in the pastry had more cinnamon.... Nevertheless, I was so pleasantly surprised by the hint of citrusy orange that accented the cinnamon paste! Also, the pastry itself was beautifully done. It was Light and flaky, and at the same time, soft inside. It was totally refreshing, as refreshing as a pastry could possibly be! The staff at this beautiful, small bakery, we're very direct and kind, and yet they gave me the gift of their smile. That made the pastry even better. But only recommendation would be: moncherie amis owner- please suggest to your patron that they have this pastry warmed up! That (along with MORE CINNAMON) would have elevated the experience even more.

Stopped here after brunch and shopping. The parking lot was small but we were able to find a spot…read more It's pretty small inside with only standing room for a few people at a time. The first thing i noticed was the had some desserts that looked amazing under the counter. They told me they were from Desserts By Clement. It took a lot of restraint not to get one...or three! There were a lot of them home already so I'm sure they are delicious. I ordered a pistachio latte, iced because it was so hot out. I definitely had to grab a stir stick to mix it up, but once i did it was very delicious. It had a hint of pistachio flavor and it was just the right amount of sweet to me. The service was good and they answered our questions, and got our drinks quickly. I think it's a good little spot to grab a drink and a treat if you are nearby.

My husband and I stopped by and immediately understood why people recommend this place. The shave…read moreice itself is fantastic. First, the logistics. It's on North Coast Highway 101, so parking during busy hours is...optimistic. The lot is small, street parking is limited, and you'll probably have better luck checking La Veta Avenue behind the building. Speaking of the back of the building, that's where their surprisingly spacious outdoor seating area is. It's a great grassy lounge space with plenty of seating and even little tabletop games. The only funny part is actually finding it. The employees told us it was "really obvious signs," but the directions are basically small Numbskull stickers and thin chalk arrows. We found it eventually, but I think some larger signs or a more obvious walkway from the front would help a lot. My only other suggestion is the hours. An 8:00 PM closing time feels early for a dessert spot on the 101 in a beach town. I'd love to see them stay open until 9:00 or 10:00 PM. Now for the important part. My husband ordered a Little Gnar with guava, passion fruit, and fresh strawberries. I ordered a Little Gnar with a vanilla ice cream core, Tiger's Blood, Orange Passion, and strawberry cream topping. Both were excellent. The shave ice was incredibly soft, the flavors tasted fresh, and the portions were much bigger than we expected. Honestly, most couples could split a Little Gnar. We only got two because my husband is lactose intolerant and didn't have Lactaid with him, and I wasn't giving up my vanilla ice cream core. I also liked that the menu has something for everyone. If you like fruity flavors, there are tons of tropical combinations and add-ons. If you're like me and want dessert disguised as shave ice, they've got plenty of creamy options too. The staff was young, polite, and helpful, and we left with zero complaints. Overall, an easy 5/5. Great shave ice, generous portions, a fun backyard hangout, and enough flavor combinations that I'll definitely be back. Just don't let the name "Little Gnar" fool you...there is absolutely nothing little about it.

Numbskulls is a shave ice place in Encinitas along N coast Hwy 101. There's a small parking lot…read morethat holds about 6-8 cars but also shares it with neighboring businesses so I suggest parking on La Veta ave in the back. I got a little gnar (small) with mango and passion fruit with vanilla ice cream ($2). There were more options for a cap and toppings but they just cost more and I'm a bit of a purist. I was surprised that they didn't have a strawberry flavor which is one of my go to flavors. The small was big enough for me, the ice was fine and the flavors tasty and delicious. I like when the vanilla ice cream mixes with the fruit flavors, it's very refreshing. The small comes with 2 flavors the large 3. The place is skateboard themed, they have premade options listed on skateboard decks which only come in large size. Service was friendly and informative. They let me know there was a back yard area that we could wait and they'd bring it to us. We just waited for our order to be prepared then walked around. It's a little further than you think. You have to walk around the sidewalk to La Veta Ave you'll see a bunch of picnic tables and chairs where you can sit and relax. Their back door opens to that area but you cant walk thru the business to get there. That's why I suggest you park on La Veta so it's closer for you to get to your car after. I wish you could just order from the back yard area. Overall a really good shave ice. I'd consider a condensed milk cap and/or li hing mui powder topping next time.
