    Berrily Good
    Allison P.

    The most adorable local boutique ice cream shop! If you think that Salt & Straw is inventive, Little Fox takes it up a notch. They truly have some of the most inventive flavors I've ever seen AND they're all super delicious! Their branding is too cute and I love all of the intentional touches. They even have a small sink in the corner of the shop because with ice cream comes sticky hands. Such a darling shop! We went for Berrily Good which is their elevated take on a classic strawberry. It features ecology center strawberry cream, elderflower liqueur, and elderflower strawberry swirl. Super yums! Their ice cream has a slightly stretchy and chewy texture which I love. Also, they're really intentional about each scoop. They have an array of toppings and make sure to dress up each one. I'll definitely be back!

    Vegan Three Strikes in a Tiny Lil Cup size
    Holly K.

    I am vegan, so this review regarding the ice cream itself is only for the vegan ice creams. I am glad they have vegan options, but unlike Salt & Straw and Stella Jean that also offer vegan ice cream flavors alongside the dairy ones, I'm not eager to come back to Little Fox. The flavors sounded so cool and I tried all four vegan options (S'mores, Three Strikes, Lavender Haze, and Vanilla Cake), the peanut buttery bite I had of Three Strikes had me excited so I got that flavor, but the soggy bits of kettle corn in my actual scoop weren't enjoyable. If I were to choose again, I would've gotten the Lavender Haze. The service was fantastic. The line was way out the door yet each time a staff greeted a new customer, it was with a bright welcoming smile and invite to sample flavors or get their scoops going. The inside is cute & I love the plants. They have a little sink, I'm guessing for sticky fingers to wash up after finishing their scoops! With only one doorway to enter/exit, it was cramped when people left after paying for their dessert. If someone was in a wheelchair, a lot of movement of the people in line would've had to happen for them to use the ramp walkway and get through the door. Street parking was easy! If I go back with others, I'd consider trying a new flavor if one comes, but for now, I have no desire to go back.

    5/5 must try. I loved the London fog specifically - just an amazing blend of vanilla, cake, and earl grey. In a city with so much great ice cream, it's hard to compete - rest assured Little Fox is among the best. The options are so unique and not overdone. I would be happy eating a scoop of most flavors here.

    Banana Pancake
    Nancy P.

    Found this little gem while I was searching for an ice cream shop. What sets this place apart is their creative and unique flavor combinations. 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.

    Vegan

    This place is so yummy and they have a descent amount of vegan options. I believe they have four and 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!

    vegan s'more the merrier taco
    Grace X.

    I was so excited to come here when I saw that they offer vegan ice cream tacos! I've been wanting to try one of these for a long time and this is one of the only places I've ever seen with a vegan option. I got the plant based s'more the merrier taco, which was so good! I love that they even have vegan marshmallows for it. They also had several vegan ice cream flavors for scooping, and everything was very clearly labelled. The service was super friendly and I picked up a free sticker too.

    This place is soooo cute! You walk in and it's bright, clean, and organized. I loved reading the menu as the different flavors of ice cream were unexpected. The owner was really kind and offered samples. One thing I appreciate is you sample with an actual spoon. It wasn't plastic or wooden, it was a gold spoon. I felt fancy. The little scoop was enough for me. I don't eat ice cream much so I liked the ability to enjoy without being wasteful. At first glance, pricing seemed high. However, quality ingredients plus the beauty of the shop makes it all make sense. Parking is a hassle. There's a small lot or street parking. You may need to drive around a bit. The parlor has a pizza place neighbor and more food across the street. I wish you could make your own taco! That would be amazing. I definitely think everyone should try it out.

    Things + Stuff and Spring Fling
    Leslie C.

    Such a cute ice cream place with so many options! Parking was full and the shop was busy when we stopped by. Street parking is advised for easy access. There was a line, but it's mostly due to customers sampling and having a great experience in trying different flavors. Guests are given golden sampling spoons which is very different from usual ice cream places! Limited and location exclusive flavors are posted on their website. Spring Fling is one of their seasonal flavors of matcha and lime. It was an enjoyable combo and not too overwhelming in lime flavor. Things+Stuff contains pretzel cream and peanut butter. The scoop itself contained a decent amount of mix ins. There are so many interesting flavors to try with locally sourced ingredients. I hope to stop by again!

    Positioned right next to Corner pizza and across the street from Tanners and Homestate, Little Fox is a great stop for a sweet treat after a meal or on its own. It's a small shop with a ton of unique flavors. My recent visit here was due to meeting a friend who really wanted to try Tanners and specifically also requested Little Fox. This was great because they are so close. I got the RBF which is a root beer flavored concoction. It was good. Not too overpowering and between the cream and the root beer flavors it was so well balanced. My friend got the diet riot since she is a big chocolate fan. She absolutely loved hers. There really isn't an area to sit and eat your ice cream except for one bench outside so keep that in mind. Most people just stand out front on the sidewalk and enjoy. Definitely stop by for their unique flavors if you are in the area.

    Lavender Haze!
    JD B.

    My daughter and I strolled over to Little Fox for some ice cream while we aired for our Tanners burgers and wow, we were happy we did! I had the Banana Pancake ice cream and it may be the best ice cream I've had in my life. The place is cute and the people very helpful and the flavors or inspired and elevated without being ridiculous. Also, my daughter had the Lavender Haze and it was amazing, as well! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

    The best way to end a night in Oceanside is definitely at Little Fox. The variety of ice creams (with many Gluten free options) and their willingness to help you sample until you find the right one is unmatched. Bonus points for using silverware for sampling instead of disposable single use plastics. That's my biggest gripe with other places, and Little Fox earns so many points for doing that. Their cones are high quality and help up while we enjoyed them. Parking is in a bit of a tight area as they're next to Tanners and Home State, but it's certainly worth it. Make sure your next craving for a sweet treat is fulfilled here. You will not regret it.

    Very good ice cream Different flavors that are very rich but subtle Service was really good and the place was very cute. Gets very busy but lucked out and got there when there was 3 people in line. Otw out, the line was long again

    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!

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.

They have strawberry dipped chocolate, fresh strawberries, chocolate strawberry caramel pecan, strawberry lemonade, chocolate brownies with strawberry cream, chocolate strawberry chocolate bar, strawberry dole soft serve, strawberry red velvet chocolate chip cookie, strawberry dipped rice crispy, strawberry hot fudge brownie sundae, strawberry Tiramisu, strawberry cheesecake, strawberry Shack shake and more. The menu goes on and on. The staff were so sweet and friendly. We were indecisive because there were many delicious strawberrylicious options. We got strawberry cannoli and strawberry dole soft serve. The strawberry soft serve was refreshing, creamy, fruity and had perfect sweetness. The strawberry cannoli had crunchy exterior and decadent creamy strawberry filling topped with fresh strawberries and light whipped cream. It's a grab and go shop,but they have two little table outside in case you want to stand at one of them until you finish your dessert.

    I honestly don't even know where to begin with this review other than just wow. I came on a Friday…read moreevening with my family and everything we had was simply phenomenal. I love that everything is intended to be shared so you can try a little bit of everything. FOOD REVIEW: * Cornbread - strawberry, basil, goat cheese, balsamic. Absolutely delectable, moist and flavorful with every bite. * Prawn - ember roasted, prickly pear, mezcal, candied habanero. Literally so good, fresh and full of flavor. * Tomato - smoked blue cheese, piquillo pepper, meyer lemon, opal basil. Very fresh and great for summertime but nothing you can't make at home if I'm being honest. * Broccoli - chermoula, lime, peanut. This was unbelievably amazing and not your typical broccoli. I'm sure even those who don't like broccoli would enjoy this. * Crudo yellowfin - aji amarillo, charred avocado, guava. Omg, I loved this and could have eaten the entire plate by myself. The aji was just enough without being overpowering. * Pork belly smoked - stinging nettle, snap pea, wasabi. Once again, another amazing dish. It had that melt in your mouth kind of texture and was so smooth but not spicy. * Octopus - smoked celery root, spanish chorizo, basil chimichurri. Really amazing & tender + it was recommended from our server since "you can't just get good octopus anywhere" and I 100% agree! They have a fairly extensive drink menu as well with lots of delicious options. I will say their espresso martini is especially pleasant and isn't too sweet. There's street parking in the front or a bigger parking lot in the back area. The place is not air conditioned so keep that in mind if visiting during hotter months. I'm not from the area but I'm already dreaming of the next time I can visit.

I've heard a lot of good things about this place so I wanted to give it a shot. Managed to get a reservation, we arrived 10 minutes early and ended up at the bar for 5 min waiting on our table. The atmosphere here is pretty cool. A very rustic feel. Tables are far enough apart that you can hold a conversation. Ordered the corn bread, crudo, ribeye along with a couple drinks. - Corn bread. Good. A bit dry. The butter was not quite strong enough. Could have done with a bit of honey or something on it. Something a bit thicker. Still above average. - Crudo - amazing. Just simply amazing. We loved everything about it. The guava taste was unique and the sauce was thick enough to not be overpowered by the yellowtail. - Ribeye - Good, but nothing special. The charred outside had a since flavor. The chimichurri hit the spot. - Potato side for the ribeye didn't show up even though we ordered it. - Cheesecake was solid. Food was above average but not WOW except for the crudo. The service needs work. Server did not put in our potato side dish so it didn't come in time for the meal. Drinks were not refilled on time. We sometimes couldn't find a server to help us when we needed little things. Then when we did manage to run one down it took forever to get something. Overall, this place is a cool concept. I'd give it a 4 for food and a 3 for service.

I do think the sweet cream complimented it very nice and I liked it all when I mixed the ice cream in. The blend was extremely pleasant.
