Scoops La Jolla is a must-visit if you're in the area. As someone who's lactose intolerant, I…read morealways approach ice cream with a bit of hesitation. That said, after being offered and happily trying two samples, which samples are becoming increasingly rare at ice cream shops these days, it was an easy decision. I ended up getting a two-scoop bowl with Peanut Butter Brownie Honeycomb and Hazelnut Cookies & Cream. Fully leaning into vacation mode, I added Peanut Butter Cups and crushed Oreos on top, and I did not regret it for a second. For those who are a bit more calorie- or health-conscious, one thing I really appreciated is that if you want to try two flavors without committing to two full scoops, you can order two half scoops for the price of one full scoop. That was a first for me and honestly a model I wish more ice cream shops across the country would adopt. Cassandra helped us during our visit, and she was not only incredibly friendly but also offered great recommendations that left me extremely satisfied with my choices. I will note that the ice cream is priced a bit above the national average, but in my opinion, it is absolutely worth it for the quality, experience, and service.

I actually tried the black cherry chip ice cream and it also includes activated black charcoal. It's a very unique tasting ice cream. I don't think I've ever had anything that tasted quite like it. However, the activated charcoal did make my mouth turn black. The waffle cone was absolutely a delight. It was thin and crispy and buttery. Yums! Small parking lot. Casual. They give samples. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure.

We got the seasonal earl grey pistachio flavor + the yuzu matcha! Both were delicious, creamy & very flavorful. We got a key lime pie to go so excited to try that.

This was my first time visiting the baked bear and my experience was honestly pretty off-putting…read more The employee who helped me (she had pigtail braids) came across as very passive aggressive the entire time. There wasn't anything outright rude said, but her tone and attitude made the whole interaction uncomfortable. Customer service really sets the vibe for a place like this, and instead of feeling welcomed, I felt rushed and kind of judged for just ordering ice cream. It made what should've been a fun, simple stop feel awkward. The ice cream itself was still good, but the experience left a bad impression. I hope this was just an off day.

It's been a while since I had an ice cream sandwich. Last time was probably at this location 2-3…read moreyears ago and I knew I had to come back here again when I visit SD. They give you a heaping serving size of ice cream and 2 cookies that you can have toasted. The employees gave me recommendations and I finally decided that for the cookies, I got the Cookie Monster and gooey butter cake. My favorite is the Cookie Monster. Super decadent and filled with cookies. The gooey butter was also good too but too soft for my liking. The bear batter ice cream is always a classic. Reminds me of an Oreo ice cream. All of this came out to about $8 which isn't bad. For anyone who has a sweet tooth or just craving some sweet, this place is for you! It's also such a rewarding treat to get on a hot day. Ice cream sandwiches just hit different than regular ice cream in my opinion.

Pacific Beach Ice Cream has quickly become one of my go-to spots…read more You can tell there's a lot of thought behind every flavor. They're not just doing the basics, there's a mix of really unique options alongside classics, and everything tastes intentional and well-balanced. Their mint chip especially stands out, made with real spearmint and even won "Flavor of the Year" locally. What makes it even better is the story behind it. It's family-owned, and the owner comes from a background of running an award-winning ice cream shop, which definitely shows in the quality and creativity. They also rotate flavors and use fresh, seasonal ingredients, so there's always something new to try. It just feels like one of those places where the owner genuinely cares, and you can taste that in every scoop.

Great place for ice cream. It's huge. Small size is 3.5 scoops…read more We usually get in bowl (or waffle bowl). So much easier to eat than cone. We tried the 4 Scoop Sampler this time. It was great, since we got to eat more flavors. Great option if you want to share. Go-to flavor is Graham Central Station. Chocolate PB Brownie and Buckeye are also delicious. Their ice cream cakes are totally worth it. Just order ahead of time. Tables out side or eat up at Sky Deck. Great views.

Handel's has SO many flavors... probably the most ice cream flavors any ice cream shop I have been…read moreto has had. My husband loves to get the fun waffle cones and bowls. One of the ones he had was dipped in chocolate and peanuts and the other dipped in chocolate and Oreos. The service has been fast even when there are long lines it seems to move fast. There is a bit of outdoor seating, but it seems like most people take it to go or walk around to eat it. You could even take your ice cream to the boardwalk by the beach! I was very happy I could get a chocolate milkshake and add strawberries because that's one of my favorite ice cream treats. It is really good every time! The strawberry cheesecake chunk was SO good. I will say they give you BIG scoops!!! If you think you want 3 scoops, I would recommend downgrading to 2 because they give you SO much ice cream! They will not skimp and give you a lot. It's at an incredible location right by the beach and it has been great every time I have gone. My sister when visiting from out of town was so excited we had a Handel's. Handel's will not disappoint!

This could be one of the few reasons we'll make the drive. But I do like the new location in the mall better now. It used to be in the center where it would be a walk, now it is located on the south side next to the parking lot. The new spot is a bit smaller with a few tables on the outside for sit down to eat. The inside a simple but love how everything is open so we can see the pastries and gelato. The pastries are pretty good. I think they're famous for the stuffed croissant donut and the Dubai chocolate but our favorites or go to are the drinks and gelato. They have some unique flavors that you won't find elsewhere like biscoff, Persian (rose water I think), and my wife's fav lavender honey. I like how the flavors are blended completely and not just chunks on cream base. Oh and their customer service is really good. They even considered my request for Dubai dark chocolate bar. Thanks for that. Hope this helps but definitely a must try.

I decided to get the strawberry matcha latte. Nice flavor and creamy consistency. For a single scoop at $7.95, it is quite pricey, especially for the size of the scoop (as I've been to places that have been more generous in portion). However, I would say it is worth it if you are trying some of their special flavors, as you may not find those that easily at other ice cream shops.
