    I'd consider this place a hidden gem! It seems like very few people are aware of this location. It's not too far from their Carlsbad Village location, but it's much closer to me from work! The shop is small and a little out of the way in a hidden plaza full of other small shops. There's 2 doors of entry and you can clearly see where and how all the gelato is made. It was pretty empty when I went. The family before me had just happened to come across this location. I hope more people will make this location pop! As for their gelato, it's different than what I'm used to. In a good way! I go the fresh mint stracciatella - and they weren't kidding. It's so fresh! It's not that green fake stuff you normally get, but there were literal pieces of minced mint plant throughout. It was delicious!! They also have sorbet flavors that tasted great for nondairy. I'd like to see them expand some more. I ended buying 5 cups (they called it a pint, although it was more like half..) so it was pretty pricey (~60$) Nonetheless, I'm so glad I found this place and was able to try it out!

    Gelato Love is a gourmet Italian gelato shop located in Carlsbad Village…read more It has a modern decor and inviting ambience. It is well lit, clean and organized. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed the relaxing and delightful atmosphere of the indoor seating. They have a nice selection of purses, jewelries and Stanley Tucci cookbooks. I also enjoyed other merchandise they have around the shop.They sell Italian pasta, tomato sauce and jam. The menu includes ; creamy gelati, dairy free sorbetti, gelato specialties, love shakes, coffe, cannoli, ice cream cakes, and desserts. There are many flavors to choose from. Everything looked tempting and delicious. Finally, we decided to get flight of four different flavors of gelato. We chose Carlsbad strawberry, Cookies and cream, Bacio, Tahitian vanilla bean. Their gelato was rich, creamy and silky. The amount was generous. The owner and the staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. The service was fast. I really like Gelato Love. It's an authentic Italian Gelato shop to stop by and enjoy their unique flavors. .

Lines build pretty quickly but the staff handles them well. I took the initiative of narrowing down my purchases prior to making my way to the front just to avoid delays. The unique flavors are all very enticing so locking in on one can be difficult. Luckily for us, this ice cream shop offers half scoops so you aren't forced to commit to one. PURCHASES: *Standard x2 [2 half scoops of ice cream so you are able to try more than one flavor] -Milkiest Chocolate & Banana Cream Pudding [dairy free] -Double Dough & Black Tie Tiramisu Everything here is creamy- dare I say, some of the creamiest ice creams I've ever had. My favorite is 100% black tie tiramisu. The least favorite was the banana cream pudding- most likely due to the diary free aspect. 4 stars overall. Seating may be challenging but with our visit being on a warm night, crowds opted to stand outside or ended up sitting in truck beds.

    This place is so yummy and they have a descent amount of vegan options. I believe they have four…read moreand they were all delicious. On Mother's Day, they gave away a mini bouquet of flowers and a pint of ice cream. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of the first ten that also got a nice glass jar to store goodies in. I did see some people walk about with just the freebies and that was kind of annoying to see. I think they should have at least purchased something. They should have restricted the freebies to customers only. I ended up gifting the free non-vegan option to my mother (she loved it) and my hubby bought me a vegan pint for myself. Inside there is no seating but they have 2 benches outside. While there is a small parking lot in the back, the parking lot gets full quickly and street parking can be tricky. Their ice cream is really tasty and they even decorate your ice cream with extra toppings like sprinkles and vegan marshmallows. This is one of our new favorite ice cream shops!

Some of the flavors sounded a little unexpected at first, but every one we tried was delicious and thoughtfully crafted. You can tell they put a lot of care into creating flavors that are both fun and memorable. My personal favorite was the Banana Pancake flavor. It perfectly captured the comforting taste of a warm stack of pancakes and bananas, with just the right balance of sweetness. It was rich, creamy, and perfectly flavored like chocolate chip banana pancakes. My boyfriend had the Three Strikes flavor, which is a creamy peanut butter with peanut brittle, it was also delicious. We tried both flavors together and they both went really well together. The shop itself has a welcoming atmosphere, and the rotating selection of flavors makes it a place you'll want to visit more than once. If you're in Oceanside and looking for something beyond the typical ice cream shop, Little Fox is definitely worth stopping by. Whether you're feeling adventurous or just want a great scoop of ice cream, you're likely to find a flavor you'll love.

    Best yogurt shop I've been to in my entire life. Best best tasting yogurt on earth cheapest yogurt…read moreyou can get in town and I ate it with the cutest girl ever. Overall, an amazing experience. I have no idea how I haven't found this place for the past 20 years, but I'm gonna start coming every day. The second I walked in I got welcomed by amazing art on the wall and a chair that I love to sit in. The lady is very good at cleaning the machines she's doing it as I speak. Also, I love license plates. And to make it even better, they have one from every single state on the wall. Like could this get any better but wait there's more. They had paper towels.!!!!!' this is a great addition to add because if I got messy, I had paper towels just in case. It's a great vibe this music playing 24/7 which I love. if I wanted, I could spend my whole life in this yogurt shop. Where else in town are you supposed to fill your cup as much as you want only for $4.75 are you kidding me. This is insane.!!! The only flaw is this spoons or green. If I could give criticism, I would like the spoon to be red and blue. I love this place so much that I decide to write a poem about it. Here it is hope you enjoy .. First time at Yogurt Shack, what a sight to see, Fill your cup as high as you want--only $4.75? That's a steal to me. Smiles everywhere, the vibes are kind, One of those places that just lifts your mind. Walls covered loud, opinions on display, Didn't expect the décor, but hey--that's part of the day. The yogurt? Unreal. Creamy, cold, divine, Every single flavor felt like a win in its prime. Sweet bites, good energy, memories made, Honestly one of the best stops I've ever had. Came for the yogurt, stayed for the cheer, Yogurt Shack--you've got me coming back, that's clear Overall, I just wanna say there's not one thing I would change about the yogurt shack to make this place even better while I'm writing this review I can see that they have a Padres logo hung up at the top on a disco ball like that's insane. I love the Padres so much and can just get any better. It feels like I'm in a dream right now. This is unreal. Bring all your friends bring your family. Bring Donald Trump. Get them all to come here. By far the best yogurt shop in the entire world!!!!!!!! Peace out and see you soon!

    Busy busy busy! Right when we walked in, there was standing room only on a Tuesday evening…read more Quirky decor but with homely vibes, we loved it! Flat fee on yogurt cups. Great deal. You choose and pay for the cup at the register before you get your yogurt. Lots of flavors to choose from and lots of toppings. Unfortunately, two of the flavors of yogurt ran out so had to go with plan B. Their yogurt did not disappoint. It was creamy and delicious! I thought I was eating ice cream! What a find. SO glad we tried this place.
