We stopped by How We Roll Ice Cream after an event at the Convention Center and were pleasantly surprised to see how well they handled the crowd. Even with a busy rainy evening and the downtown Farmers Market going on, the line moved quickly thanks to an efficient and hardworking staff of three. We tried the Salted Caramel, Strawberry Wafer, and the Drum Roll with dairy-free vanilla from the Not So Secret Menu. The ice cream itself was delicious and definitely lived up to expectations. While the dairy-free vanilla wasn't quite as good as I remembered, it was still a nice option to have. This place is always a hit with the kids, they love watching the ice cream being mixed and created right in front of them. The shop was very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, a fun experience and a great stop for a sweet treat! read more

This place is fantastic and I'm so glad I tried it! They have unique flavors to try. I will definitely be back to try more flavors. I tried The Churro One with honey and Heath bar toppings. It was delicious and I want to go back for more! Give it a try if you like cinnamon and caramel flavoring. read more

A work of art! The menu is huge and a bit overwhelming, to be honest, but once I finally made up my mind I was intrigued by how quick and efficient the staff was. They quickly prepped the ingredients for the different selections and got to work, making 4 orders in the blink of an eye! My rolled up ice cream was delicious. We will return next time we're in town. read more

This place is must if you are in the downtown area, we went after the Visalia car show (I know I'm late with the review), this place is awesome! It's pricey, and a different spin how they serve ice cream, liquid nitrogen is their best friend. The menu can be overwhelming as options abound. They even post their secret menu! We enjoyed their cinnamon flavored ice cream, tasted just like a Churro! The service was quick, the line can stretch out the door, parking can be limited, a dozen reasons easy for why you shouldn't go; let's just say it's worth your time! The ambiance is quaint, small, and a couple of stanchion's for people to line up. Our son loved it also, kids can be picky when it comes to sweets! read more

Great service! Delicious dessert! My daughter was in rolled ice cream heaven! We were attending the state championship for USA gymnastics & another gymnast recommended this place to my daughter. We are so happy we went. The vibe is pretty cool & so many options! Wish we could go again, but Visalia is too far for ice cream. Lol! If I ever find myself is Visalia again. I'm headed here! read more

Different experience for ice cream and if your in the Visalia area check them out. Don't forget to follow them on Facebook or instagram prior to completing your order- you get 10percent off . If you pay cash you also get a discount too. Staff was busy and working hard to complete orders. While there making your order they call your number ,so you can watch them closely assembling your masterpiece. I ordered the muddy tail ... chocolate ice cream with peanut butter and hot fudge .... Equals yum in my tum. read more

As a diabetic, I've visited this location five times over the past year specifically for their advertised sugar free flavors, but each visit they have only had vanilla and chocolate available. If the additional sugar free options are no longer offered, it would be helpful for the menu to be updated to reflect this. Additionally, during one of my visits, an employee was noticeably rude, and the level of customer service could definitely be improved. Won't be back. read more

What a fun concept. They roll liquid ice cream into rolls with whatever toppings. The only change I would recommend would be to have marshmallow fluff as a topping. That would have elevated the whole thing. Service is very friendly and the ambiance is cool! I will definitely be back! read more

Tastes great! I love that Oreo Monster roll that I have here. Tastes delish! There are many types of rolls that they have on the menu, but you can also create your own! Let them know what you would like haha read more

Tons to choose from flavor and topping wise, you can even add on a waffle type treat. It's small but not crowded and you can take your time to read the menu they have hung up and on the table. Service is good, if anything a little overpriced in my opinion, but that just means go on payday ‍ read more

Love it ! Very nice and polite employees . Ice cream is amazing . I have been there twice and will definitely go again when I'm in Visalia .. Salted Caramel is wonderful read more

I never use these things to write anything regarding Business but this is One of the WORST customer experience I've ever received in Visalia California. If I could leave zero stars I would. I came in when they had more than 25 minutes left in their shift before they close you can visibly tell that they were upset. Plus you can see a worker, rolling her eyes and saying are you serious to another coworker. we came to celebrate a birthday as they can definitely tell by the birthday balloons we brought in they were rude and when when we brought them over 20 paying Customers as I was waiting for my order I was looking on the wall and it said best medium business in Tulare county that is a shame that someone that won the 2024 award is treating their customers like garbage. As I was waiting, she told everybody if you've already paid. We need to wait outside in a rude manner and wait until the number was called. They never called it over the microphone like they usually do so we constantly had to go in and out to check if our order has been made. I hope the restaurant owner sees this as the employee Karen was actually the one that was rolling her eyes please if you are the owner, please feel free to reach out to me as this is a disgrace to all of Main Street and Visialia read more

Coolest ice creamer in town. Great menu options and you're able to customize your own as well. Nice service good location next to a lot of shopping. Highly recommend. read more

Got my order wrong and missed an ingredient however there was fast service. Ruined my day.

Delicious ice cream. Fast service. Easy parking and clean neighborhood. Cozy ambiance. read more

This is definitely an experience. We really enjoyed watching them, make our ice cream, and picking our own flavors. However, I docked a star because the staff did not seem incredibly helpful as it was our first time. The ice cream definitely turns out more of an icy texture. It's also a bit on the pricey side, of course you're paying for the service of the making it too, though. No seating inside. read more

My grandchildren loved watching the process. The ice cream was delicious. Great experience overall.

Sorry, I don't get this place at all. While enjoying ice cream I have never, ever thought to myself, "You know what this ice cream needs? To be smashed and rolled into thin cylinders in order to make the process more laborious, more time-consuming, and more expensive." Other reviewers say you're paying for "the experience." What, watching a young adult joylessly toil away behind the counter chopping and smashing and rolling? I'm not sure what kind of entertainment that is. But if you're into that sort of thing, well, you're in luck. Because you'll see a lot of chopping and smashing as you stand in line all afternoon waiting for that poor overworked server to get through three ice cream orders. The resulting cup of ice cream looks awfully "cute", but I think my 8 year old said it best as he sadly looked at his finished cup of ice cream and sighed, "That sure didn't last long." There's no indoor seating but that's understandable, it's downtown. So just enjoy your ice cream outside along with a cup of cold water to beat the heat. Psyche! That's not happening either. They don't have water for customers unless you're ready to pay for it. Paying. For water. At an ice cream place. (!?!) read more

Meh, cool idea, but leaves you wanting for more. I prefer an ice cream store. The service is also tricky. Sometimes they are nice and let you watch, other times they make you wait outside, rain or shine. It is also a bit pricey! read more

Ice cream is so good. Cold , creamy and fresh. I love the variety of items you can add to your ice cream. I have never had ice cream like this, it's like watching a show that they make the ice cream and roll the ice cream right in front of you. Size is small, medium, large. I got the medium and it was a ton of ice cream. Definitely recommend this place definitely won't be back. read more

I can give them a 5 star rating on the Earl Grey flavor alone! My fiancé and I happened across this shop while we were searching downtown Visalia for a bagel shop and I'm so glad we decided to go in. The staff was very friendly and the girl who recommended the Earl Grey ice cream to me said she was the one that came up with the idea for the flavor. The base was delicious without the sweetness being too overpowering and the blood orange sugar sprinkles brought out the natural citrus notes in the Earl Grey flavor. I can't say much about the Strawberry Fields as I only got a taste before my fiancé absolutely inhaled it lol but it was very tasty as well! Would definitely recommend and I'm glad we found an ice cream place to come back to for date night! read more

How We Roll Ice Cream - Earl Grey (April's Flavor) and Strawberry Fields - Desserts Near Me - Visalia, California

So I thought rolled ice cream was just a novelty thing but it serves the true purpose of keeping it colder and man they really know how to roll them here! The tastes come together beautifully in all the flavors we tried and their Belgian waffles are delectable! Just note they only have limited outdoor seating read more

Expensive for what you get. Its a cool process to watch but there wasn't much flavor and the price was way high for what you get.

Never knew Visalia had rolled ice cream so I decided to give it a shot! I went around 9pm and it was very easy to find parking. The staff were very friendly and service was pretty fast. Due to Covid, they ask you to wait outside until your number is called. Once your number is called, you can enter and watch them make your rolled ice cream. I chose vanilla ice cream with captain crunch & strawberries mixed in! The large was actually a decent size and is definitely shareable. Highly recommend :) read more

Since this place opened up two years ago, we've tried going multiple times but everytime there's too many people inside and waiting outside that we end up going somewhere else. It was finally meant to be that we try this place because as we were coming home from another dessert place that was closed we saw that this place wasn't as busy as usual. We went in and ordered the Fruity Rebels and Strawberry Fields. Once you order and pay, you stand back until they tell you they're making your order. Then you can stand up by the glass and watch them make it. They also ask if you want the toppings mixed in or on the top. Saying as I've been to other rolled ice cream places and have experiences to compare this to, I feel like they would do so much better if they had a better final presentation on their rolled ice cream. They also add too much syrup on the top which takes away from the ice cream and makes everything too sweet. The actual ice cream was enjoyable. My overall rating is a 3 but I love that the owners decided to bring something new to the area. read more

Cute little ice cream place in the downtown area. Honestly we would have preferred to eat at a more "conventional" ice cream place, but we couldn't find one nearby! So we gave this place a shot. We weren't impressed with the whole concept. I mean, it's different, but I don't know why you'd prefer this over regular ice cream. It's waayy more pricey, it takes longer to prepare, are very small portions, and is slightly confusing! I was annoyed because I kept asking the guy at the register to explain it to me, since we'd never been there before, and he had this spiel he recited to me THREE times. Like literally, didn't change what he said once. I clearly didn't understand what he was explaining and it might do both of us good to rephrase? Like I was asking something specific about the toppings, and he would recite the whole thing from top to bottom all over again. It was very frustrating. When you're already having ice cream that's so different and then can't get a straight explanation... Not the greatest. As for the ice cream. They roll it in thin sheets with the toppings you want incorporated inside or placed on top. It just didn't hit the spot for me. It felt like very little ice cream (I got the small because it was so expensive), although it was kinda creative. I would just never prefer this (thin sheet) over having a mouthful of ice cream. Won't be coming back, but feel generous with my rating because I know it's a small business. read more

What a great addition to downtown Visalia! I'm very impressed by the artistry that goes into making this delicious rolled Ice Cream. My family and I decided to stop here on a stroll through Downtown. The service was very friendly and customer service oriented. They followed COVID guidelines and you felt safe while ordering inside the establishment. They have such a wide variety of selections, seasonal, and a build your own. You can truly have it all, and there is something for everyone. I got the Red,white, and BOOM! I would highly recommend this if you like blueberry and strawberry. My uncle had the Strawberry Fields and I would say it was like a strawberry cheesecake. Both were delicious and a fun way to enjoy ice cream. We did get the kid sizes because we had just ate dinner but that seemed to be enough for the both of us. read more

Went to see what the hype was about. Tasted decent but very little ice cream for the cost. Staff was nice, but did notice a staff member with hair all across their face while rolling the ice cream. Having worked food service in the past, I wanted to scream: put on a HAIRNET or Hat!!! Yikes It was fine to try one time, but it just wasn't worth it for me. Rite Aid ice cream any time over this! read more

This was our first time here and all I can say is Yum! So many options! What a great idea! Very cute place and great service.

Got a coupon in the mail that got me to finally go in. Coupon was no deal $1 off a large that is $10!!!! Had never been, didn't think the counter help was really helpful. We had to wait outside and when called on the very loud obnoxious speaker we then had to wait for them to make our ice cream. Oh wait, that was our opportunity to watch It was worth the 1 time visit to say I have been, the ice cream was alright. I am sure KIDS LOVE IT. Not horrible just not for me.... I looveeee ice cream. read more

My cousin came to town, and wanted some dessert. It's a cool little shop, decorated well (although the seating is kind of weird). However, the customer service lacked. No smiles. No "thank you." No showing where the spoons were located. Just a "here." She said the ice cream was good, but she was disappointed she even gave them the business. I wish them the best, but I hope they appreciate their customers! This was our first time. No desire to go back. Carson C. read more
