Visiting the SD area and needed an ice cream pick me up before checking in to the hotel and this hit the spot. sweet lil shop in a plaza near the beach. street parking and some lot parking is available. must wear a mask, one group in at time.. and honestly even if it wasn't covid only like 3 ppl max would fit in comfortably. They have a sign by the door with all the flavors they carry... fun inventive flavors... i wanted it all. Jojo Size is 1 scoop for $4.75. I got Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip did not disappoint here. I actually think it was one of the best peanut butter type ice creams I have had and if I lived closer would be an instant fave. Tried their Mint Chip and they had whole chunks of like mint choco patties it was really good. Their Ginger Lemon Honeycomb was different but i was a fan! the ice cream was creamy and overall great but what caught me by surprise was their cookies. They give you a free mini cookie with your scoop... though it was tiny it was SOO DELICIOUS. I wish I ordered more minis or a regular sized one. must try! Give them a try if you're near by! read more

Best ice cream in the world. That banana foster will undoubtedly be winning gold in the Ice Cream Olympics. I have never had something so divine. And don't get me started on the nibby chocolate. I brought my family here 3 times in one day. It was seriously that delicous. Shoutout to the people running this shop. I had to take down all of their names because they were all so awesome! Makana, Kayla and Shivani, you guys made my family's experience delightful each time and you all have a very bright future ahead of you. Cheers! read more

Came here yesterday after lunch. We tried this spot during the Taste of Encinitas walk and enjoyed what they sampled so decided to come back. SERVICE - The two girls working were nice. They let us sample the different flavors before we chose what we wanted. ICE CREAM Mud Pie - This had chunks of brownies throughout and a great coffee flavor so it was very tasty. The ice cream itself was creamy and not icy at all. Pomegranate Pistachio Swirl - I rarely stray from coffee/chocolate/peanut butter flavors but when I tasted this, I was sold. It had a very unique blend of flavors and had candies pistachios throughout. It was so good! Great little ice cream spot. We would come back! read more

We loved their ice cream -and have been taking our kids there for the last few years. We will not be going back there again. Realty disappointed with their response to our recent, rather horrific experience there. What would have happened had our 5 year old boy swallowed the metal wire from their cleaning equipment? thatcher found in his waffle icecream? Luckily he found it and spat it out. Parents, and well everyone be ware! Lame way to deal with potentially a very serious situation. Not to mention the long term possible damage to our beautiful boy. We won't be going back or recommend it to anyone. Not something I wish upon anyone. Made me very nervous about eating ice cream out, to be honest. NO Stars read more

Super nice staff, excellent ice creams, and they come with a free cookie! Ice cream flavors include the basics, as well as exotic ones, seasonal and daily specials. Lots of gluten free ice creams and gluten free cones as well as vegan ice creams, and the cookies you get free are either regular or gluten free. And they're all phenomenal. Super tasty ice creams and cones, and the cookies are delicious! I'll be back here for sure. read more

Cute place in a cute plaza! Stumbled upon this but will definitely come again! I highly recommend the Coconut mound (it has chocolate chip flakes and a really nice coconut texture!). My boyfriend really liked the cayenne sea salt. It first tastes like creamy seasalt and caramel, then it'll burn you with the cayenne. I would personally prefer it without the spicy but still very unique and it's my bf's favorite! read more

I walked into JoJo's for fun and was pleasantly surprised. I tried the mint cookies and cream and the ginger lemon honeycomb. Mint is always a classic go to flavor for me/ But the ginger honeycomb was amazing. You can taste the ginger but its not overbearing. And it was balanced perfectly with the lemon and sweetness from the ice cream and honey. It was light and creamy. I would come back just for that flavor alone. Also the cookie was equally delicious. It tasted like a brown butter cookie that any bakery would have on display. read more

Delicious ice cream place! I had the peanut butter cup ice cream, which was pleasantly peanut buttery and had a nice saltiness to it. But there were a bunch of great options (including vegan ones)--I also tried sea salt caramel with cayenne, which was quite good, and will be trying bananas foster when I go back. And they give you a free (small) cookie with your ice cream! Very fun spot to stop for ice cream. read more

Hands down top three ice cream shops in San Diego!! Things I love about JoJo's: Well crafted ice cream flavors made with premium ingredients in small batches, limited flavors to choose from which makes choosing a flavor less overwhelming, free delicious mini chocolate chip cookie, plenty of outdoor seating. I've been here twice and always end up getting the same two flavors. Peanut Butter Cup and Coconut Mounds. SO GOOD. I am very particular about mind blowing ice cream. It can't be too sweet. Great ice cream in my opinion has to be a little more complex in flavor than what you would find with the common local grocery ice cream (nothing wrong with something like Dryer's Ice cream of course). This means quality ingredients should be used to create a well balanced sweet and slightly savory flavor. JoJo's offers all of the above and more. Service was super friendly. The Jo Jo 1 Scoop is perfect. It allows you to get 2 Flavors for $4.75. I can't wait to come back to JoJo's!! read more

This is my type of ice cream place and I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed it. My family and I walked along the 101 after dinner one night to get a scoop of something sweet and creamy. lol and behold, JoJo's gave us just that. It's a very small shop churning small batches of flavors. I had a junior single scoop of the coconut mounds ice cream whisky my husband had two different flavors. Each order is served with a mini homemade chocolate chip cookie which is perfectly crisp yet soft in the middle. I'll definitely be going back to this ice cream shop. read more

This place drew me in by my fellow yelpers and led me astray. The flavors are very unique and lack delicious flavor. I would give it more like 2.5 stars only because the place is cute and the employees were kind. My biggest problem is they need to let you sample the ice creams and that would have eliminated this review. As I'm sure they must have some delicious flavors I went ahead and ordered the Banana fosters with a waffle cone , which was horrible as In not edible it was too artificially flavored. I went in and asked the girls kindly if I could swap it out as it was really bad they obliged and I opted for cookie dough since that's generally a safe flavor. Yet again disappointing but I was fine and went on my way. My son loved his and said it was delicious he got the mint cookies and cream with a waffle cone. read more

I first want to say that the girls working at the counter were AWESOME! They were so informative and friendly! Even through masks you could see their smiles! We ordered two JoJo's and a kids scoop. The first JoJo was 1/2 mud pie and 1/2 malted cookie dough. The cookie dough was SO YUMMY! It had tons of cookie dough! Mud pie was supposed to be a coffee base with brownies and fudge. After all the cookie dough I was a little disappointed at the amount of brownie. I had one tiny piece of brownie (although the piece I had was delicious). Also the coffee flavor was very mild. I wouldn't have said it was coffee if I didn't know. The second JoJo was 1/2 coconut mounds and 1/2 lemon raspberry shortbread. She said the coconut mounds was perfect but didn't love the lemon raspberry shortbread. My son had vanilla with sprinkles. He was a HUGE fan and didn't leave a single drop! We were all big fans of the cookies that came with our ice creams! Perfect and still warm! They have great outdoor seating out by a fountain! Would definitely come back but would probably try some different flavors! read more

Much better quality ice cream than Handel's, it's really no comparison. They make ice cream here like it's supposed to be made and don't try to dazzle you with a shit ton of flavors and gimmicks, just good quality ice cream that actually tastes amazing. In my most recent visit I had coconut mounds and bananas foster, both had that creamy texture you look for in quality ice cream and the flavor was dispersed throughout the cream. But honestly any flavor here is probably worth getting, they all look so creamy. In short, I won't be going to Handel's anymore, yeah you get a ton of ice cream and there are way too many flavors but quality is subpar compared to JoJos. read more

I really wanted to like it - they have some unique flavors and everything minty is good and the kids love it, but I'm not just not a mint fan. I sampled the chocolate and the salted caramel with cayenne and just didn't care for either. My daughter and her friend got kid scoops of white chocolate peppermint bark - one with chocolate marshmallow sauce and one without. Each comes with a free mini cookie which is cool and was a welcome surprise! They have several vegan ice cream flavors and a gluten free mini cookie, which is nice for those with dietary restrictions. Their waffle cones are freshly made to order and they were awesome. I just didn't love the ice cream. read more

Great little ice cream shop tucked away off the 101 Highway. The shop has a nice selection of classic flavors with some unique flavor ideas. Of course our go to is the S'mores any time we can, and thankfully JoJo's had just that! The flavor of the ice cream was smooth and creamy yet not too heavy and the Cookies & Cream tasted just as pleasant. The only issue we had were we felt like the ice cream cones were very generic and not the best flavor wise. We think having the perfect cone to go along with great ice cream makes the experience go from good to great! We will be back to try some new flavors! read more

Yum! Nestled behind St. Tropez and I'm between my favorite crystal shop, I had to drop by when I saw their sign tempting people to come "get a scoop" and the words "gluten free" and "free cookies!" All within the same sentence! Of course the unusual caught my eye and I even tried the non dairy....and while good, opted for the whole dairy HAHA (duh). It was pretty good! The girl behind the counter was super sweet and literally told me I could try them all since it was my first time and I pretty much allmostt all did. Again the non dairy chocolate was good. The vegan sorbet was good. The cookies and Creme was good. And the caramel cayenne was bomb! But spicy! But that bananas foster was amahzing! + free cookies! Those gluten free cookies r yummy!

Best part of it all was the free mini chocolate chip cookie you got with your scoop. I tried the gluten free cookie and it tasted just like a regular chocolate chip cookie.

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

THE BAKED BEAR ENCINITAS…read more Parking is mostly street parking, and you may be able to find a few spots nearby. Since it is located on the main strip of Encinitas, it can get pretty busy depending on the day and time. I came on a Sunday afternoon with one of my friends because we were craving a little sweet treat. There are so many dessert spots along the main street in Encinitas, but I had only been to The Baked Bear in Pacific Beach before, so I wanted to try this location. When you walk in, you can order a scoop of ice cream, cookies, brownies, or create your own custom ice cream sandwich by mixing and matching your choice of cookies, brownies, and ice cream flavors. I decided to go all out and made an ice cream sandwich with a brownie on one side and a Cookies and Cream cookie on the other, filled with Cookies and Cream ice cream. It was so delicious. The cookies were warm, soft, and paired perfectly with the cold ice cream. I would definitely recommend this combination. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It is a little on the pricey side since my custom ice cream sandwich came out to about $10. Personally, it is one of those desserts that you could probably recreate at home with store bought ingredients, but it is still a fun experience that everyone should try at least once. If I had one suggestion, I wish they made their ice cream in house or offered more unique flavors. Most of the flavors were pretty classic, so I would have loved to see some more creative options. The shop itself is nice, but there is not much indoor seating. There are a few standing tables outside along with some chairs right in front of the shop, which is where my friend and I ended up sitting. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back whenever I am in the mood for a sweet treat.

That kind of dedication tells you everything you need to know about these donuts. Decades later, our cousins drive them 3 hours to Los Angeles like precious cargo for the family to enjoy when they come to visit. A donut. 3 hours in a car. Still incredible. Some things are just built different. Our cousins are hero's! Only one complaint, they are not open late, which is truly a crime against everyone with late night munchies and poor decision making skills. The world needs VG Donuts at midnight.

Upon entering, I immediately loved how homey the restaurant felt. The open windows made it light and bright inside, while still feeling warm, comfortable, and welcoming. We were greeted by a gentleman who was very kind and friendly from the start. We were hungry, so of course we ended up ordering quite a bit of food lol! We got the lumpia, fish ball appetizer, kamote fries, sizzling sisig, bistek Tagalog, vegetable coconut soup (ginataan), and of course we had to finish everything off with halo halo! As a Filipino, I was impressed with the food. I especially enjoyed the sizzling sisig, and the bistek Tagalog really reminded me of home. Everything else we tried was delicious as well, and I'm already looking forward to coming back because I definitely want to try the kare kare next time. Of course, we had to wash everything down with dessert, so we ordered the halo halo. Honestly, I've had better halo halo, but it was still refreshing and enjoyable. And really, what better way to end a yummy Filipino meal than with a classic Filipino dessert? The service was also excellent. The gentleman helping us was so kind and friendly, checked on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Overall, I would definitely recommend Carin de Ria to anyone craving Filipino food in North County. Great food, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service. I will definitely be back!

Prager Bros is one of these sneaky good bakeries that keeps it simple and nails it!…read more We began by buying their sourdough breads which, if you're like me, is just an excuse to eat butter. Ok, PB sourdough stands on it's own AND gives me every excuse to eat some more butter! Toasts up nice no matter what you like from a soft to burnt scale. But the sourdough was the gateway drug for me. It's impossible to go into the Prager Bros bake shops and avoid seeing something even more additive. For me, the almond croissant just sings the perfect duet with a good cup of coffee. They rotate in some scones that are equally tempting. The honey walnut, limited offering, was my favorite until they stopped making it. The seasonal scone (date and coconut) is more than a fine substitution. They serve baguette sandwiches that are crispy crunchy and delicious. Highly recommend them.....the danger is you won't be able to drive by one. Heck, you get hooked enough, when you get in your car your Waze may prompt you with the time and distance to Prager Bros. Could be worse I suppose! You're welcome!

The marshmallow alone was so amazing to watch! It was so good and made with such good ingredients. I did share a bit with my friend, but boy I had basically the whole thing to myself and it was perfect. The frozen hot chocolate was bittersweet too. So it was balanced with the cookie, marshmallow, and cream. The perfect amount of sweetness for me. It was pricey, but it was worth it! Well worth it to try it at least once!

Excellent ingredients and delicious ice cream and cookies. Gluten-free ingredients and even homemade cashew-milk coconut milk ice cream for those of us who are dairy free. They make all the ingredients for their ice creams in-house and use organic Strauss cream and milk. My son even had a gluten-free waffle cone! Amazing place. And they even have a frequent-purchase program! read more

Best organic ice cream I've ever had. The texture and flavor is unmatched. One interesting flavor to try is the cayenne salted caramel. The mint chocolate chip and mid pie are very good as well. The thing that really stands out is that they give you a free cookie with your order. Pricing is amazing as well- two people cost about $9. I enthusiastically recommend this place! 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

The donuts were surprisingly dry and honestly tasted worse than the donuts you can buy at Safeway. We expected fresh, homemade donuts but were disappointed with the quality. Later that evening, we returned for ice cream and arrived at the order window around 8:40 p.m. We were refused service because they said they were closed, even though the posted hours we saw indicated they were open until 9:00 p.m. What was even more disappointing was how rude and dismissive the staff were. A polite explanation would have gone a long way. Based on our experience, we won't be returning. Good customer service and fresh products make all the difference, and unfortunately, we didn't find either here.

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.

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.
