Oasis Ice Cream Parlor - Strawberry and chocolate chip milk shake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

Best ice cream ever been going for over 20 years and the service is always great love all the different flavors

My favorite ice cream, but Gerardo is pretty rude. My kids even noticed how unpleasant he is. I wish I would have walked out after he sighed and said "oh my god" under his breath after my daughter's order. I hope he is well and that things are okay. His sister is super sweet and friendly and everyone else is too. I've been coming here since 2002 and remember the original owner. read more

Lucy was helpful and nice to offer us samples. Homemade ice cream and they even have homemade popsicles - paleta. No, they're not affiliated with Holy Poletas!! I haven't been here for at least a year or so but it's still delicious ice cream that's worth the drive! read more

Great hidden gem. They have plenty of non-dairy options that are so tasty! Try the queso flavored ice cream! So many flavors and fairly priced too. read more

Just left from our weekly ice cream adventure. Super awesome as always, kindness was flowing like milk in a shake. As we waited for our turn to indulge In the Deliciousness it made me happy to see how much other people were happy to be there too!' If you haven't tried this cute place yet, put it in your August to do list. You won't regret it! read more

!! Cash only!! Delicious ice cream with unique flavors! The ice cream was light, flavorful, and not too sweet. More on the icy side than the creamy side as Mexican ice cream tends to be (compared to American). I got two scoops for $6. Guava has strong flavor. It was much sweeter than the rice pudding which I preferred. Rice pudding even had flakes on cinnamon in it. On a Sunday afternoon, no line but there were other customers. The singular person working behind the counter was very friendly and gave us samples to try. There are two small tables outside, none inside. read more

I have been coming to Oasis ever since I can remember! It is incredible homemade ice cream, with a great selection of ice cream AND paletas. The milkshakes are to die for. Just about anything here is great! Any flavor I've tried has been delicious, and never disappoints. This place is a true gem to the community, & my heart. read more

This use to be one of our favorite spots. But now the scoops are TINY. Smaller than a small mandarin. And the price increase does not match their serving portions. And the service lacked in everything but crankiness. Not coming back any more. I'd rather make my own or go else where than come back again. read more

This is the best ice cream I have ever had in my life, and it's not close, no cap. It's cash only but they also take Venmo and Zelle.

It was Labor Day, so we were looking for something to do. We drove to Imperial beach and then wanted something refreshing afterwards. The first couple of stops wasn't something that I wanted to try, but then we found this ice cream parlor. Luckily, I had enough cash, since they don't accept credit cards. I chose the Ferrero in a sugar cone and my hubby got the tamarindo and strawberry flavors in a cup. The ice cream was so yummy! Would definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area. I like that they have fruit bar, sundaes, a banana dip bar as well. read more

Best cream I've ever had. Ive been coming here for 27 years. My favorite is banana and coconut milkshake.

My family and I loove this place! The ice cream is always fresh (not old) and delicious. The inside is very small, they do have a table outside to enjoy the delicious ice cream. The customer service is always good, I don't feel that it's overpriced and there's always parking. read more

Oasis is so refreshing and delicious. I love their nondairy options. I always get the orange italian ice. My husband loves mixing flavors. The pricepoint is very good for the portions. Not that the portions are huge but smallest size is perfect for us. Service is always good as it's usually 1 person if it is not too busy. I always pay via venmo as they do not take card or at least didn't the last time I was there. Venmo makes it easier but if it was cash only, that would be difficult. I've taken many people here and they've all liked it. It has a small family owned feel to it and I love supporting local businesses. There's outside seating but otherwise, I just sit in my car and relax and eat. Overall great place. My friend recommended it to me after I'd already loved it so just shows that it's a staple in this town. read more

This place is so overrated. It's not all that. I heard people talk about this place so I tried it was not all that. You get better customer service from the Ice Cream scooper guy at Rite Aid than you do from this Place. read more

Been going there since 1988, hands down best paletas I ever had . Taste like you are eating the real fruit. Put this on your bucket list. One recommendation is to have more merchandise with Oasis brand.. T shirts like the Matsumoto shaved ice company from Hawaii . Especially being somewhat close to ocean and San Diego .I would buy one. Keep up the good work ! read more

Hand crafted ice cream, attentive service , and the a variety of flavors. I would go to this place over and over again.

The heart of the southbay! I have been going to oasis ice cream since I was kid and now I take my own kids. We all love the delicious homemade ice cream. Best ice cream in all San Diego!!!! High recommend! Especially the strawberry vanilla swirl on a waffle cone! Yum! read more

Rarely do you find an ice cream shop that actually makes their own ice cream and it's great. This is that one. Flavors are amazing, texture is excellent and they have a wide variety. 35+ years in business and there's a good reason! I highly encourage you to try Oasis if you love ice cream. Cash only! read more

Enjoy the finest selection of paletas and ice cream in the city. However, please note that only cash payments are accepted.

My go-to ice cream spot!! I've been coming here for over 10 years! This place is the OG paleta spot! They have all the good flavors. The newer places offer chocolate drizzle or toppings and stuff but you end up paying 5 bucks for ....a paleta. Here you'll pay less than half! This place is very easy to get to and has a has a huge parking lot so you don't have to worry about finding parking. In the summer the line can get a little long but it's so worth it. The staff is really nice and helpful all the time. They have so many different flavors and they're all so good. My absolute favorite is their coconut. If I get a different flavor ice cream I almost always end up taking coconut paleta to go! Oh.. try ordering a scoop of peanut butter and a scoop of banana.. so bomb. What I really love about this place is that it's very affordable. You can get a bunch of paletas for parties or to bring to work and you don't have to worry about breaking the bank! Make sure you bring cash because they don't accept card. I will be coming back! read more

Flavors are not your average flavors, taste is great. Plus it's a mom's and pops place. You have to try it, just remember to bring cash no cards read more

Is been here since I got in USA good ice cream bar and e lent service They only accept cash read more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. I'm 26 now. My mom and uncles used to come here when they were kids, in the 80's. I think they opened in 77/78. I bring everyone here when they first hit San Diego lol. Since then, the quality is still amazing. They're consistent always with the products they offer. They've expanded their menu like crazy over the years. & The best part, it's homemade ice cream. No preservatives or anything, and if you ask, they'll tell you what they used. The owners/family of the owners are actually very genuine people. I've only ever seen them "rude" to those who came in snarky to begin with, and even then, it wasn't rude - they were just putting their foot down. They went up in price. I remember being able to get a bar for maybe $1.25, and I think they're $4 now. However, that's literally every business experiencing inflation and economy right now. They're one of the only ice cream shops that wait til the very last second to raise their prices, which means they care about customer satisfaction. I genuinely hope, when I have kids, they're still in business, cause I want everyone to be able to experience oasis lol. read more

Super good ice cream (gansito is best IMO). Super nice owners and Super sweet team that works there! Love this family owned and operated small business! @food_explore_travel_adventure read more

The best ice cream shop in Imperial Beach. The natural homemade ice cream is incomparable to other shops. The owners have always been so sweet and I love that it is a small family run business. It brings back great memories. Only downside is it's cash only, definitely worth a quick stop at the ATM! Give them a try! read more

Great flavors, great staff. The vibe of this place is fantastic - they have different types of flavors you can't typically get at a regular ice cream place. Highly recommend! read more

Oasis is one of San Diego's hidden ice cream gems. I've been lucky to have been going here since childhood, but many others have, unfortunately, yet to have been graced with experiencing the amazing ice cream from here. I have no problem going as far as saying they are one of the best, if not the best, ice cream shop in SD. I would definitely choose this place over Salt n Straw for many reasons. This place is a family owned business with a plethora of flavors both in a cream base or fresh fruit base. My usual go to option is their mix of fresh strawberry and vanilla cream along with their fresh lemon. This place also has an assortment of paletas so make sure you bring a cooler with you so that you can try as many flavors as you'd like from home! One last note, make sure to bring cash with you as this is a cash only establishment. read more

I always look forward to making the drive over here! Keep in mind it's cash only. The gansito flavor my favorite ice cream flavor ever. 10/10 I have yet to find an ice cream parlor in San Diego as affordable and consistent as this place! read more

Damn $4.00 for an ice cream paleta now? Crazy. Their ice cream is good but not that good. Also saw the sign on the way in for shakes $9 plus tax. Lmao! I can buy a meal for that. Ridiculous. read more

Cash only. Oasis has a decent, but basic selection of popsicles and ice cream. I don't understand the Yelp hype. The ice cream was freezer burned and the ice cream comes in small, cheap styrofoam cups. There was a sign that the ice cream was homemade but it tasted and looked low quality. The ice cream had a melted, soft-serve type of texture. Pro: The parking lot is huge and spacious. read more

You gotta try all their natural ice cream flavor. I didn't even realized they had regular dairy ice cream! I was set on always getting the cantaloupe until I tasted the watermelon, and then the guava and then the mango. All their ingredients are natural and fresh. That's why sometimes the seasonal fruit flavors are not available. They also have popsicles. It's a mom n pop store and it's cash only. I've introduced several of my out-of-town friends to Oasis ice cream and they still fondly recall the experience. My freezer always have a hand-pack pint or quart of Oasis ice cream and every time I serve it to my guests, they ended up asking for directions to the store. read more

The best decision ever! We stopped in after a day of playing at the beach. The ice cream is homemade (delicious). The business is family owned for over 40 years. And the owner is welcoming and a delight...as good as the ice cream. read more

For those who remember thrifty ice cream this place beats it by far ! Ice cream is so delish!!

my favorite ice cream! I try to go there when I'm in the area. Sometimes I make a special trip just to have the ice cream. All the flavors are great. We usually get two scoops each. I would take my kids now I take my kids kid. People there are always friendly. read more

Super clean place ! Ice cream and service was amazing family owned and prices are not steep! Rather eat here than chain places

The BEST SINCE I WAS A KID . Homemade and Amazing ice cream with great people who work there = )
