Before visiting SB, everyone tells me that I gotta try the ice cream here. I did. Then I visited…read moreagain. And I'm still thinking about it. This location seemed to have less of a line but just as much offerings. Amazing service from the team. Ice cream was not too sweet and very creamy. The flavors don't taste artificial at all. Will definitely visit again whenever I'm here next... and I now wanna figure out how I can maybe order them online hehe.

It had these chunks of chocolate cookies and chocolate chips. I liked the cookie bits, not so much the chocolate chips. The Nutella ice cream was great, and I enjoyed how it came with Nutella spread on the bottom. I like how the ice cream is organic but it is pretty expensive. The service was nice. Rori's is located in a food hall. It is kinda loud, and there is not a ton of seating outside of the stall.

The line was fairly long when we arrived, but it does move pretty fast even with only 2 people working. // FLAVORS // BROWN SUGAR BANANA: fresh banana ice cream made with homemade dark brown sugar. If you love bananas, you'll definitely go crazy for this! The brown sugar flavor takes a backseat compared to the banana. SALTED CARAMEL: Homemade caramel topped with Maldon sea salt. This was my favorite one! Deep caramel flavor, with a slight hint of Maldon sea salt. The only thing that would make this better is something added to it for texture.

I walked into Cuso's when they were going to close in 5 minutes completely expecting them to say…read morethey're closed which would have been fine! However, they said they would still serve me. I ordered a double scoop of cookies and cream and went on my way. It was delicious, and I appreciate them serving me so close to closing it.

It felt like they ran out of proper ice cream cups and just used a 2x2 cupcake box instead. For something priced higher than a single scoop, the experience felt worse than a basic to-go setup. Great ice cream, but the presentation really took away from it. Other places would have used this as an opportunity to elevate the experience and reinforce their brand. Making great ice cream is only part of the job. The full customer experience, down to small details like how it's served, is what brings people back.

A few steps later we saw this place and my son wanted to stop in for some ice cream. Upon walking in, we weren't even greeted by anyone and there were 2 girls with an attitude behind the counter who were extremely unwelcoming. They also didn't allow us to sample anything and the ice creams didn't even look that appealing, so we left. We went to McConnell's later and had a much better experience!

I tried McConnell's for the first time and it was TOP TIER! Like immediately! Every flavor I…read moresampled was deliciously creamy, dense, and rich--a testament to their use of high quality ingredients (grass-grazed milk and cream) sourced locally from the Central Coast. It was so difficult to choose! I ultimately went with the Earl Grey Tea & Shortbread Cookies and Sea Salt Cream & Cookies. The Earl Grey tea base was really aromatic and authentic, and the shortbread cookies added a buttery sweet texture, easily one of the best artisanal flavors I've ever tried. As for the Sea Salt Cream & Cookies flavor, the local sea salt in the cream base paired perfectly with the chocolate chunk cookie pieces. I appreciate how both flavors I chose were balanced by elements that cut the richness in such a well-crafted way. My friends got the Eureka Lemon & Marionberries, Churros Con Leche, and Santa Barbara Strawberry flavors and LOVED them. The SB Strawberry flavor was so fresh and unlike any other strawberry ice cream. There's just something about those local Central Coast strawberries! Prepare to pay, but also prepare to be blown away. The quality and flavor make it an indulgence well worth the price. We were greeted by friendly employees who were super helpful with letting us sample flavors and advising us on what flavors pair well together. This location is perfect for grabbing a scoop and walking along State Street or browsing the Farmer's Market! There were also a few tables upstairs and some benches right outside.

When we arrived the line was out the door, but fairly short because it started at the entrance. We were able to order within 3-5min. In another review on yelp I saw they had cake sprinkles, one of my favorite types of ice cream! Unfortunately they didn't have that flavor, nor did they have a couple other flavors my husband was looking for that he saw on their website. Though they had them in the pint version. I did end up trying the peanut butter, but ultimately went with the strawberries and cream. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but I didn't really have other options that I was eager to try. I'm wondering if they sold out of specific flavors because ordered 30 min before closing. If you like different flavored ice cream I would recommend trying if you're interested, but I wouldn't say it's a "MUST".
