    Popped in while walking past and my wife had a sudden sweet tooth. I will state that the consistency and mouthfeel of this ice cream was fantastic! My rating is based on the flavor. I went with two flavors, Mexican Chocolate, and Milk & Cookies. Neither was very flavorful. Normally I would expect a bit of spice with Mexican Chocolate, but there was no spice and really not much of a chocolate flavor to it. The Milk & Cookies was really creamy, but again not much flavor. My wife tried mine and also stated that it did not have much flavor. I felt that hers did not either but I cannot remember what flavors she went with.

    Mariposa Homemade Ice Cream was a treat! I had "A Freeze"--cold brew paired with Rocky Road ice cream--and it was the perfect combo. Big thanks to the friendly owner, Tim, for the great recommendation. Enjoying a delicious dessert while listening to talented jazz musicians playing outside made the experience even better.

    Folks... Hands down. This is the best ice cream joint in the Temecula Valley. No holds barred, Mariposa homemade ice cream is legit. I live 15 miles away and probably pass two dozen other ice cream spots but we always go out of our way to Mariposa because it is just that good. Really chill environment with some inside and outside seating and (bonus!) some good Padres (GO PADS!) baseball on TV. Do yourself a favor and don't sell yourself short by going to some other chain ice cream restaurant spots... Come here to Mariposa for some really good old fashioned homemade ice cream. Pretty much open from 12:30 to 9:00 everyday and the staff is of.course always friendly and happy to see you.

    I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream! While coming home from the San Diego area, my sister and I were in the mood for something sweet and I found Mariposa on Yelp. They offer handmade ice cream in a variety of flavors, and a free waffle cone with a Yelp check in! I got a scoop of chocolate and my sister chose cappuccino almond fudge. The ice cream is yummy and refreshing! Prices are reasonable at $4.50 for a regular scoop. They offer kid's size scoops as well!

    I'm very glad we chose to come to Mariposas Homemade ice cream shop! This place has such a neat selection of Ice creams and if you can't makeup your mind they allow you to sample. I do wish that they had a little bit more interesting flavors but what they do have is good. I got your basic chocolate two scoop on a waffle cone and my son got vanilla ice cream. Yes, out of all the options we decided to be basic. But you cannot go wrong with chocolate and vanilla. Both were delicious and the service here was great as well. I was impressed how clean this establishment was. The tables and chairs are wiped down and the ground is spotless. Made me feel very comfortable sitting down enjoying my ice cream! If we are ever in the area again I will come by! Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

    It was a family owned restaurant. The ice cream was good. Staff was friendly. The shop was clean and had a nice sporty ambiance.

    Mariposa has a great selection of ice cream flavors and it still reasonably priced. Solid, old school ice cream shop that's worth a visit!

    Such a fun place! You can find lots of old-school, viral, and hard-to-find candy and toys here…read more It's probably a good thing I came without my kids, because I definitely would've spent way more. The chocolate-covered bacon looked interesting, and they also have NeeDohs, just at a much higher price. The ladies were very sweet and helpful. I'll try their store made goodies next time.

    $3 marshmallow wands in milk or dark $14-17 (I forget &…read moredidn't take a picture) weighed bulk candy; jelly beans, individual candies, nostalgic, etc I absolutely LOVE candy and old towne soda fountains, etc. I buy Big Hunks and Chic-o-sticks from Staters for my fix but I will 100% never pass up a candy opportunity. I appreciated the nostalgic candies, glass case with chocolate dipped cookies, fruit, etc. The $3 marshmallow wands came as either milk or dark and rivaled the $8 Disneyland ones. Both were delicious! I didn't get the baklava but they looked delicious & well crafted. Staff was helpful but I knew my faves. I got pre-bagged Dr Pepper Jelly Bellys and the by the pound Green apple and Very cherry since they didn't come in bags. The buy the pound were unfortunately quite stale but the flavor was still there. Bummer, I spent so much(!) Definitely take a look around, they have import Japanese gummis, the trending Peeling gummis, gifts and knickknacks from Archie McPhee like finger hands IYKYK. It was hard to maneuver with so many customers shopping but manageable. Great sugary energy & vibe! Haha Connected to the candy shop is the ice cream parlor with giant waffle cones. Yum!
