    Just some of the really unique flavors
    Peter I.

    A total gem here in Cardiff. If you're camping here if you're visiting here or you're just driving by, you must stop. It's like Baskin-Robbins 2026. The flavor combinations are fantastic yesterday. Amanda gave me some samples and I loved every single one. it's really nice to have a local ice cream shop that really knows their stuff loved it.

    We stopped by Little Fox Cups and Cones after dinner and absolutely loved it. The ice cream was outstanding--rich, creamy, and obviously made with quality ingredients. We tried a few flavors and every one was unique without being over-the-top. The staff was friendly and patient while we decided, and the shop itself has a really fun, welcoming vibe. It's beautifully designed and was busy, which says a lot, but the line moved quickly. If you're in Cardiff, this is definitely worth the stop. We'll be back!

    We absolutely love Little Fox and it's a must visit! They started out in Leucadia and we've been going to their adorable location in Oceanside for the last two years and I'm so glad this new location is open! Such a stunning, charming ice cream shop perfect for adults and kids. When I telll you that every detail is meticulously thought through from the flavors, names, golden spoons - everything! Besides the store itself being absolutely gorgeous, the most important part is that the ice cream is divine and unlike anything you'll find other places. Some of the best and most interesting flavors that are perfectly balanced. Coming from a girl who typically defaults to plain chocolate - I dream of Little Fox flavors. Highly recommend at least getting two scoops but the flight is the best way to sample a few! The new Cardiff location comes with the same awesome owner and service from their incredible staff. I'm just so excited they're now here in Cardiff and think it's the best addition to our beach walks going forward.

    Our first time having Little Fox ice cream and we can't wait to come back already! They have so many fun, unique flavors! Once Upon a Hollywood and Lavender Fog were my favorite!

    Amanda N.

    Ice cream was soooo good!!!! Super cool because each flavor comes with a different topping. I got to try so many flavors, they were all super unique! My favorite was definitely the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood! I loved how the flavor notes of carmel combined with the corn! Soso good!!! The topping was carmel corn too.

    If you enjoy homemade ice cream with unique flavors, then this is the place to find. They have two locations (that I know of) - one in Oceanside part of the Freeman Collective and this location in Solana Beach just up from the Cardiff Cook statue. I tried the two little scoops as I wanted to try two flavors and really enjoyed the Lavender Haze paired with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (good too). My partner got the London Fog as she really likes Earl Grey tea and she liked it. My friend tried the Golden Hour as he likes to try interesting flavors including turmeric and lime leaves and other spices. We definitely will be back to try some more flavors. Oh and the server was super friendly and providing great advice on the flavors as well as free samples if you ask politely.

    Unique flavors that feature local ingredients, seasonal flavors - Nov 2025

    Obsessed with little fox and all the little details, the ice cream flavors, Meg and the team. Service is polite, friendly and warm. The interior is authentically little fox with nods to beautiful design elements. Flavors are in gold frames on the wall. They have their ice cream tacos and ice cream cakes as well. You can sample flavors and marvel at the unique flavor creations. They're all delicious and use locally sourced ingredients from farms and bakers. I got the "So Doughp" flavor with sourdough cookie dough from black hat and the chocolate chunks were great. The scoop in a house made waffle cone ended up being $9.50 with tip. Street parking in Cardiff and 10/10 would recommend their ice cream.

    Three kinds of ice cream, all amazing!
    Jessica E.

    What a sweet little find this spot is! Lots of fun, unique, and creatively named flavors- I had "Cold Ease" which was a pomegranate, ginger, and oatmeal/sage cookie combo, but I also loved sampling their "Ch-Apple Rhone" flavor which was like chai and caramel and apple. Very kind folks working there, who were very excited to tell us about their favorite flavors. There's a flavor here for everyone!

    Lovely ice cream shop! We stopped by after going to the botanical gardens in Encinitas to try some of their unique flavors- their spruce ice cream was very unique and we also enjoyed the lavender ice cream, which you could tell they used high quality ingredients. The workers were friendly and let us sample quite a few flavors and the service was excellent. No seating indoors but they have a small outdoor seating area.

    Vegan smores

    Great storefront, service, and ambiance! I tried the vegan flavors and enjoyed them. The vegan gf cone was also a nice touch. Would recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    Don't be fooled by the scoop shops she's got She's still…read moreJeni from the block (spin on Jenny from the Block by JLo from 2002) Splendid indeed and perfect on a July summer evening! The hubby and I were visiting the local area and stopped here for dessert. Line almost out the door but moved along well. Was interested in the Ted Lasso promo. Although I don't watch the show, crumbly shortbread cookies in salted sweet butter cream sounded good! Sampled it and decided to get it. Outright creamy deliciousness! Their napkin w/lots of info says "we geek out over ice cream science, rearranging the molecules to support all four sensory elements of ice cream: flavor, texture, body and finish." True. The hubby chose the gooey butter cake + goat cheese w/red cherries. Oh my! This was even better than what I got. In my neck of the woods, there are a few shops in the city of Los Angeles but, this was my actual first time in a brick and mortar Jeni's shop. I've seen the pints at grocery stores but had not tried until recently. Good to know there are over 90 retail locations across 15 states and DC. Would definitely return to a Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream when in the vicinity of one and sample some unique flavors. 5 stars!

    AMAZING ICE CREAM. So incredibly creamy, rich, and unique! I loved how each flavor was a twist on…read moresomething I had before...such as Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was really Double Dough, cookie dough but DOUBLE! I tried Smores and Frosted Sugar Cookie, and let me just say these were SOOO GOOD!! I appreciate that each order comes with a waffle cone triangle, as it was the perfect pairing with my ice cream. After talking to the staff, we learned that there are plenty of Jeni's chained shops across the nation! I will be coming back to different ones to try more flavors!

    We had Handel's Cater for our wedding in Oceanside, CA and got to work with the Carlsbad location…read more Once I sent an inquiry through Handel's website, we got connected to their catering manager, Alexa. Coordination was strictly through email for contracts and any questions. It was a bit confusing to understand the serving size and what we were looking for even though we asked for clarification. We decided to go with Handel's as our dessert as I had experienced their catering at another wedding I attended. At that wedding, they ran out of ice cream before the bride and groom could get their share. Therefore, I was worried about us running out. What I wished I did when deciding what serving size to choose was look at the Google Reviews for the location, because so many people said the serving size is huge! Those folks are correct! When Handel's came onsite, the medium serving was more than enough for our guests and I feel like we could have downsized to small serving and folks could have tried the multiple flavors we had gotten. I will also say since I've only tried Handel's once at the wedding I attended, choosing the flavors can be difficult since there isn't a description of the flavors on their website. I would suggest if you are considering Handel's for your event to try the different in-person. Luckily for us, we loved the flavors we chose of blueberry cheesecake, dulce de leche, vegan mango, and watermelon ice. (We are located in NorCal and the closest Handel's location is a bit away from us.) Other than that, overall the experience was great and we were happy with the service!

    Nighttime Craving ice cream! Thank you Handel's for staying open late…read more Thanks to all the nice and sweet employees who were helpful. There are limited seating outside, but we were lucky to find a table available. We got the following delicious flavors: -S'mores & vanilla caramel brownies -Mango & butter pecan -Peach & strawberry The small size is perfect for one flavor. Since, we wanted to try two flavors, medium size was our choices. The flavors were excellent.The portions were huge. It's a nice spot. We had a great time and satisfied my craving.

    Oh, I do love me some ice cream. I especially love me the good stuff. & believe, I know what the…read moregood stuff is. Because when I want the really good stuff, I make it myself in my Lello 4080 Musso Lussino Ice Cream Maker. Yeah, the ice cream that maxhine produces is positively divine. But when I want the good stuff without all the prep & cleanup, Wynston's is where I'm going. The quality is top notch & the creatve flavors they come up with are amazing. Service is always friendly. My favorite way to enjoy Wynston's is the ice cream flight with 4 small scoops of different flavors. While parking right in front of the place is often taken, there's a free garage nearby they validate for. So, if you love you some ice cream, head on over to Wynston's. You can take it from someone who makes their own frozen sweet creamy confections, Wynston's is the really good stuff.

    Another 5 star review for Wynston's!…read more If you're not on their email list, get on it RIGHT NOW! They won't bombard you with useless emails. They really only send out important emails...so, for that...KUDOS! They have their email marketing dialed in... My fiancé and I shared a flight, as we usually do. It's really the best way to sample all their delicious flavors. I had to try their monthly flavor, 'What's Up, Doc?'. Carrot Cake Ice Cream? How?! Well, it's true. They turned a classic cake into delicious ice cream. The other 3 flavors... Obrigaderia Brazilian Truffle Lemon & the Blueberry Swirls Parmesan Apricot We couldn't pick a favorite flavor this time. All of them stood out in their own way. Such a cute little storefront...two tables inside, but plenty of seating outside. I remember when they were across the street, even smaller storefront....and now they have TWO locations in San Diego county. Team members are always smiling. You can tell the owners care about their employees...there's a sign up....this is a no-tip business. They pay their employees a livable wage. That, in itself, speaks volumes! Oh, and don't forget to ask for a pup cup if you have your pooch with you. #longlivewynstons

    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.

    Really interesting concept. And thankfully there isn't one near where I live as it would be too…read moretempting. Came here with my kids while on vacation. They got a brownie bowl and a chocolate chip bowl. The bowls come with ample ice cream. I got a cookie sandwich with the yellow butter cookie and cookies and cream cookie. It was great that they warmed it up. In terms of ice cream flavors, we really loved the strawberry shortcake, and also liked the cookies & cream and milk & cookie. They offer a punch card, and a water station which comes in handy. Just a really chill place. Not cheap whatsoever but it's worth the splurge if you're on vacation.
