I stopped by on a Thursday around 2:00 PM. You place your order at the counter, and I had my ice cream in less than a minute so super fast service! It's a fun atmosphere. We had a handful of teenagers in line behind us who kept giving my dog tons of love. I ordered the: *Yellow Cake Batter Ice Cream: it was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and was very creamy. Very well made! The prices are unbelievable. My small cup was only $2.50, which is almost unheard of these days. The portion was just the right size too. They also offer complimentary pup cups, which is a little scoop of vanilla ice cream on a cone. My dog absolutely loved it and devoured it! Parking on the side streets can be a little tricky depending on the time of day, but it's worth it. Overall, the ice cream is phenomenal, the service is incredibly fast, and the prices are hard to beat. If you're looking for great ice cream without spending a fortune, this spot is definitely worth checking out! read more

Grew up going here & so have my kids.. I always get the fudganna (vanilla ice cream, bananas, chocolate syrup & nuts, no whip) My daughter gets the Oreo shake. They have so many choices & they are all good! They even serve food however we have never tried any of the food. Only thing is they close pretty early- 8pm :( So we have had several times where we forgot and show up at 8:30 or so only to be super bummed that they are closed. The owner is super nice & on our last visit even gave my daughter several of their store stickers! So cute & so nice! read more

After seeing a tik tok video about a certain delicious yellow cake batter milkshake, I had to stop by and try it! I had driven by this place so many times and never stopped by. I am so glad i did! The line was long on a weekday as this place has great prices and definitely has a cult following. I ordered the medium yellow cake batter milkshake - complete with yellow cake batter bits. It was absolutely delicious, and more than enough for two people to share. I would definitely return for this item alone and those dipped cones look great too! read more

It tasted like how I want the soft serve to taste like. It was not over sweet and I appreciate that. And I also appreciate the price. It was very affordable and approachable. But that was about it. read more

This place is what I image heaven to be. Kinda dramatic? Maybe. Kinda true? Definitely. Soft serve, milkshakes, toppings to the high heavens. Too good to resist. Everything you could possible want is here. I said it. Take my advice and see for yourself. The people are the best. So kind and friendly. My pregnancy brain failed me when it came to ordering, and I was embarrassingly trying to put into words a simple swirl medium cone with sprinkles, and they were so patient with me. Thinking of Frostie as a middle name. Let's see what the husband thinks. read more

The grandkids and I had a really fun day at Belmont Park today and they couldn't wait to go to Mr. Frostie to end their day on a high note The kids love their corn, dogs and hot dogs and Frosty's with rainbow sprinkles or chocolate sprinkles. Still family owned and popular and the prices are so reasonable compared to everywhere else. This is such a great place to come with your family. Service is always with a big smile by the owners and their family members and friends, and they have nice tables in the sun and a little kids table and everyone's happy. The line continues to form and people are helped very quickly and serve very quickly. Just a happy place ! read more

An all time favorite locals spot in PB. The line goes fast. I have to say though this time the dipped cones leaked right away. I think they need to double dip them! Had them all over my car. They were leaking as I walked away from the window. Love it here so many fun options and fun for the kiddos. read more

Quick service and awesome ice cream!! We got a sundae with hot fudge, chocolate cake, and nuts. It was great! And for a good price too only $7! It was a pretty large sundae, definitely shareable. There's a small parking lot and it seems like street parking as well, a few tables outside with shade. :) read more

One of best hidden gems of PB. I usually go on off day because these place get packed during summertime. The staffs are usually friendly, the ice creams/other food are affordable, and the vibes are great. Definitely check this place out if you're looking somewhere to treat friends or family or just by yourself. read more

Love love love Mr Frostie! Perfect place to get my milkshake fix. Plenty of options for ice cream selection and toppings. The last few times I dropped by I ordered my favorite: Milkshake with Vanilla Ice Cream and Heath Toppings. Their milkshake is thicker than most places and super tasty good! They have a few seating options for enjoying it there and a small parking lot that can get full quick. There are more spots for parking around the back block parallel to Garnet. Service is friendly from the cashiers and overall a solid option for ice cream and milkshakes in PB! read more

Mr Frostie - Milkshake: Heath mixed in Vanilla Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

Great ice cream. Great prices. Nothing fancy- iconic ice cream shop. Such a sweet bit of nostalgia. Get there early - they close at 8!

There was a line to order but it moved very fast!! You order at a window and they bring it out to you at the next window. We got the nutty nutty and watermelon ice cream!! The nutty nutty has hot fudge, vanilla ice cream, peanuts and whipped cream. Hot fudge and peanuts are my favorite combo for ice cream!!! Unfortunately if you eat it too slow the hot fudge will melt your ice cream!! My bf got the watermelon ice cream and it was nice a tart! It kinda tastes like a watermelon jolly rancher! Overall a decent price for ice cream! It was about 10$ for the two. Definitely a must if you are in the area if you want a sweet treat!!! read more

Mr Frostie - Watermelon soft serve and the Nutty Nutty - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

Mr Frostie is a classic establishment in PB that's been around for a long time. It has that old Americana charm when ice cream was much more simple back then. Aside from their shakes which there are a lot of candy-related flavors, the ice cream flavors are simply chocolate, vanilla and twist. They also have varieties of sundaes and banana splits and even a dirt cup! I got the Hot Fudge Cake which was so good! You can't go wrong with chocolate cake, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and a lot of peanuts. Such a classic combination of flavors and hits all the nostalgia spots in me. For only $7, this is very reasonable for the amount you get. We also got a chocolate dipped swirl cone ($4.50) and that was solid too. Service was also extremely fast; you order and literally walk to the next booth and it's already ready! Mr Frostie is awesome and I'm so glad to see a place like this still going strong. It's a reminder that simplicity and affordability can still be a great combination. read more

I always make sure to stop by Mr Frostie when I'm in town because it's my favorite soft serve place ever. Go-to order is the hot fudge cake sundae and I swap out the nuts for crushed oreos. Service is always friendly and fast, and they support the community! They got new tables/seating now. They still have their small credit card fee but really reasonable. Parking lot is tiny but I usually am able to find a spot on the residential street down the block. read more

It's a rare and wonderful day to have a delicious dessert that is inexpensive without feeling cheap. This is a true spot to take the family and everybody comes away happy. There will almost certainly be a line, but it moves fast, so not much waiting. And it's a great vibe. Walk to the counter, order, pay, and grab your food at the next. The place is almost always bumping, so it's unlikely you'll be able to sit down. Honestly though, you're in PB. There are almost limitless numbers of excellent places to walk. read more

Pretty good gelato/ice cream shop. Owner was super friendly and nice. Decent prices and a fair amount of flavors to choose from. I'd get ice cream from here again. What I liked best is not overly sugary read more

Mr Frostie - Dole watermelon and lime twist - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

Local or Not - Mr. Frostie is a classic San Diego ice cream stop that delivers exactly what people expect: solid soft-serve, generous portions, and old-school charm. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes, which keeps locals/ tourists all coming back. They also sell fun merchandise like shirts, stickers etc. Service is usually fast and friendly* The place has a nostalgic vibe with old photos of past stars etc* Why it's not 5 stars: parking can be a hassle in the area and lines can get long during peak hours. Bottom line: great for a simple, satisfying soft-serve treat with children or family and a true San Diego staple. read more

This is a PB classic. Perfect to cool off during a hot summer day. I had a Reese's milkshake and my friend had an Oreo and cookie dough milkshake. Next time I will probably try and order mine with chocolate ice cream to really get that chocolate overload. Overall, it was good and the workers were quick and kind :) read more

Mr Frostie never disappoints us. We have to come here every time when we are in San Diego. I feel like their closing time has pushed to earlier. So be aware if you want to grab ice cream after dinner. All American is our all-time favorite. You can never go wrong with that. Please come support this small business! read more

Mr Frostie is a good old fashioned small business ice cream place with a lot of tempting choices. I did want an egg nog ice cream and was a bit disappointed it only came in a shake when I asked. Ended up getting the chocolate and vanilla simple twist cone. I was pleasantly surprised when it was very creamy. I loved it. We went at night so there wasn't a line and got service right away. People that run it, all seem nice. I would go back. They do have a few tables on the side. It's an order at the outside window kind of place. There is limited parking in the lot as well. read more

Mr Frostie has been a PB staple for me ever since I was a kid! All of the staff is so nice and the prices are very reasonable. I normally opt for the soft serve, especially when they have a fun flavor (they had lemon custard today), but you can never go wrong with the classic chocolate vanilla swirl. The more elaborate menu items are also super good if you're looking for a more indulgent treat. Best soft serve in San Diego! read more

I got the Blueberry with a Cherry dip and my date got Twist (chocolate and vanilla) with a Chocolate dip. Sadly, I couldn't really taste the blueberry soft serve even when I ate it by itself. The cherry dip was fantastic tho! I had never seen a cherry dip before, but I really wanna come back here and try it again with a different soft serve flavor instead. I'm thinking chocolate would go really nice with it. The place itself has a lot of seating and service is fast. Highly recommend especially if you are already in the area. read more

I love an old school dairy shack and this place is no exception. I got a vanilla cone with crushed Oreos. I love the tall cooky shape they make the cones. The Oreos did taste a bit stale or maybe just off brand but still really enjoyed it. I believe it's cash only so come prepared but there was an atm! read more

Most people consider Mr. Frosty's an ice cream store but a hidden secret is their deli sandwiches! They are delicious! My personal favorite is the tuna salad sandwich. I just ordered seven of them for a group I had over on Friday lunch and everyone loved them. read more

This is your classic ice cream stop: soft serve ice cream at cheap prices. There's plenty of fancy ice cream shops around town but this shop is just nostalgia. I hear it gets pretty busy but when I went there wasn't much of a line. My only complaint would be that I wish they stayed open later than 8pm. read more

Good ice cream at a great price! Came here 30 mins before they close the the line was massive, but it was worth it. I've tried the twist (vanilla and chocolate) cone, the butterfinger milkshake, and the Hot Fudge Cake sundae. The sundae was good but not amazing - I liked the ice cream and the fudge, but the whipped cream didn't have much flavor and the chocolate cake was kinda meh. Next time I'll go back to the regular cone or the milkshake. They also have a $12.50 manager 's special that is such a great deal! A sandwich, drink, potato salad or chips, and an ice cream. Wow! Will have to try and report back. read more

Always great. Best soft serve in SD. Friendly service. Outside seating only. One minor issue is they seem to have changed the butterscotch...not as good as before and now just tastes like corn syrup. Will be back to find a new favorite.. read more

Nice little mom and pop shop that been here for as long as I can remember. I remember coming here as a kid and now I bring my kid. Same kind service, long line, and ice cream...just like I remember. Came on a weeknight and luckily the line wasn't down the street and it moved quickly. The guy working was very friendly and made an excellent shake full of fresh crunchy Oreo pieces. Delicious! Shake was thick and frozen and creamy perfection. Come hungry because it is a lot. I'm glad we shared even though I was tempted to order a dipped cone for old times sake. There are a few picnic tables to sit and people watch while you enjoy your treats. This place is always busy and there's a reason. Reasonably priced and good portion sizes and friendly service. Parking is typical PB parking. If you are lucky you'll score a space in the lot otherwise you'll have to find a street space. read more

This local spot has kept their prices super low. You can get a small ice cream for only two dollars. There are also seasonal flavors that are super scrumptious.

I personally drive 15 minutes from Golden Hill up to Pacific Beach just to go to this ice cream place. I highly recommend. read more

Fun, old school soft serve in MB. Thanks Yelpers for the guidance! Hubby loves a good, basic chocolate shake, but I like a little something different, more complex and layered for my delicate palette. LOL He proclaimed his chocolate shake, no whip, a solid YUMMY! I rated my cake batter ice cream base with real blueberries blended in at an even stronger - MUST GET!!! Service was SO FRIENDLY and we really dug the vibe of this great treat stop. We will DEF be back again next time we pass through MBSD! Cheers! "CC" read more
