    We came all the way from the Bay Area to Turlock just to try Oak Barrel Ice Cream, and it was absolutely worth the trip. The place is small but very cozy and welcoming. You immediately feel comfortable when you walk in. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Most importantly, the ice cream was amazing -- very flavorful, creamy, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Every bite was delicious. If you're anywhere near Turlock, this place is definitely worth stopping by. We will definitely come back next time we're in the area. Highly recommended!

    [Review #824] 2024-023 Ice Cream Order: ICE CREAMS: PEACH, RED HOT LOVE! (red hot cinnamon candies, sweet-n-spicy cinnamon ice cream), MEXICAN CHOCOLATE (chocolate ice cream, cayenne pepper, cinnamon), DARK CHOCOLATE ITALIAN ICE: STRAWBERRY LEMON SORBET: LYCHEE, MEYER LEMON I can't believe I haven't reviewed Oak Barrel Ice & Creamery... a family favorite of my cousin & nephew, & now ours too! Greg Raynes is the Founder & Ice Cream Artisan, who shares his childhood joy of making ice cream with those around him. Oak Barrel Ice & Creamery was inspired from his memories of hand cranking ice cream with family in Carmel Valley... nothing beats sharing a delicious frozen treat after dinner -- agreed! When you enter the shop, you're hit with sweet scents of ice cream like baking spices from a bakery. Weird, huh? I haven't experienced this in other ice cream shops... I might need to pay attention to this in future visits, if it's only at Oak Barrel. The dining room, if you can even call it that, is tiny & holds a couple of rounds with a pair of chairs ea. The walls are splattered with a barrel pouring out ice cream cones & and adjacent wall with ice cream cones & cups of ice cream. The friendly & helpful server informed me that there's 8 Classic & 15 Specialty flavors, with their Monthly Features & Stay Longer flavors (monthly features that are extended slightly beyond the month). And the Sorbets are water based & non-dairy. If you didn't know, I love, love, love peaches... so of course, my fav is Peach. Soooooo peachy, rich & creamy! What was an interesting flavor was Red Hot Love! It's the red hot cinnamon candies made into sweet & spicy cinnamon ice cream & it works! I also love the lighter & refreshing Strawberry Lemon Italian Ice, a perfect balance of citrus & berry, & Lychee & Meyer Lemon Sorbets. The lychee was so fragrant & sweet, & meyer lemon had a nice citrus, tarty sweetness. My family are chocoholics, so Mexican Chocolate was favored by my husband & Dark Chocolate for the kids, who somehow managed a milk mustache even though it was ice cream & hot chocolate. LOL Hahaha... No matter the time of year or day, there's always room for ice cream from Oak Barrel Ice & Creamery! Recommended: Peach (of course!), Red Hot Love!, Mexican Chocolate, & Dark Chocolate Ice Creams; Strawberry Lemon Italian Ice, Lychee & Meyer Lemon Sorbets.

    The best. I always make sure to come out with family and enjoy the great flavors of oak barrel ice cream. Nothing compares to it. My favorite is banana and pistachio. You get to sample the flavors. Waffle cones great addition to your scoops.

    Ice cream headquarter in Turlock is Oak Barrel Creamery.

    We came in here to purchase a gift card for a friend. The girl was pleasant and we were served quickly.

    Great ice cream

    Still our favorite go to for ice cream. Most recently had the caramel crunch (I believe it was caramel and heath bars) shake and it was delicious! Perfect for the summer heat! The staff are always super helpful if you can't make a decision. I've seen that you can order ahead but we've never tried it. You can also get Sundaes, floats, quarts and pints to go.

    Came here for some ice-cream everyone was super friendly and the ice cream was so delicious! We also tried their ice-cream sandwich is it was the best one I've had yet!

    Took my daughter here for a Vday dessert and we were not disappointed! The cotton candy ice cream is to die for and the chocolate brownie chunk delicious! My daughter is still talking about the place! Note: tips are cash obly

I ordered a croissant sandwich and a couple of drinks, and let me tell you, it was the saddest croissant sandwich I've ever seen and tasted. As you can see in the picture, it's just the croissant, then the pesto spread, and the turkey is a separate price. How in the world can only the croissant cost $11? The coffee was a simple black coffee with no refill, and it was almost $5. When I asked if it was refillable, she said it was $.50, which was surprising enough. But she probably noticed my surprise, so she offered to give me a free refill, which I didn't take in the end since we were in a hurry. Allison seemed nice, but I would just suggest having a clearer menu with prices so that customers don't have to guess what they're paying for. I won't be coming back because I didn't feel like I was getting my money's worth.

In this day and age with businesses closing down, you would think paying customers are more important than closing down early. I was with my wife, and friends about 8;45 pm. We stopped at Yogolicious to have some yogurt and socialize. I paid for 4 yogurt cups. I did notice that they already were putting away their fresh fruit. I also noticed a woman with her kids sitting down having yogurt. We realized they were closing early because they had empty chairs upside down on the tables. My friends and I decided to have our yogurt on the tables outside to socialize and enjoy our yogurt. At 8;59 pm I noticed the mother that sitting with her kids on the table inside walking out of Yogolicious. She was asked to leave because they were closed. I could see the look on her face was in disbelief that they asked her to leave right away. We were sitting outside on one of the two tables outside when an employee confronted us and told us we couldn't sit down on the table. We asked her why, she said it would attract other people to sit at the other table. She also said that she would get in trouble if her manager found out that we were sitting there. I asked her then if she had the owners phone number. She didn't give me an answer, and went back inside. We finished our yogurt at the table. At 9:45 Pm the two employees locked the door and left. The yogurt was good, but honestly due to the rude service and attitude, i will never set foot in Yogolicious again. I never write reviews; But because this employee put a bad taste in my mouth, i felt it was necessary to let people know what poor service is given at this facility. I observed about eight people about 8:59 to 9:05 pm wanting to get some yogurt. The employees were more concerned about closing than last minute service. If this business goes out of business, It'll because of the poor service from their employees.
