So happy to have found a Seven Seas Roasting location closer to North county! Just as great of…read morequality and wonderful staff as their other locations. This location is right in the center of so much Solana Beach activity offering plenty to do and see around this cafe that makes it an even better stop. Really easy to order and although the line may look long, they are usually quite fast. Worth the wait too! I recently had their cherry bomb latte and my husband had their vanilla latte. His vanilla latte was top tier but I absolutely love the cherry bomb latte. Cherry and coffee go together much better than expected. Their butter croissant was heaven. Just the fluffiest layers and delicious!

I stumbled upon this place right before Pilates and saw the sumptuous special! The girl told me…read moreabout it and my eyes lit up and I wanted it so bad, but my friend Perla said, "No, we got to go!" Not the best thing to have right before Pilates. The next time we went was after Pilates and I asked my friend if she wanted to share it and she agreed this time! I was so excited to try it! The owner was very sweet she let us try samples of the new marshmallow ice cream that they are testing out. It was so good! I ordered the sumptuous special with frozen hot chocolate. She made it aesthetically pleasing. They asked how I wanted it and I said picture perfect! Watching her make it was so fun and jaw dropping. I was in such awe! The marshmallow alone was so amazing to watch! It was so good and made with such good ingredients. I did share a bit with my friend, but boy I had basically the whole thing to myself and it was perfect. The frozen hot chocolate was bittersweet too. So it was balanced with the cookie, marshmallow, and cream. The perfect amount of sweetness for me. It was pricey, but it was worth it! Well worth it to try it at least once! I am absolutely coming back again!

I had these cookies at my Wedding !…read more My husband and I stumbled across this bakery a few years back on our way home from Los Angeles. I am a cookie feen and these cookies quite literally stopped me in my tracks. The Scarlet letter cookie .... Just get one. In my case I get at least 4 of these each time I go. The most imporant thing in any cookie is the actual dough and theirs is always the perfect balance of buttery and sweet! I despise dry crumbly cookies and these never even come close. They are all so good! The staff has alway been very nice and when I have gone it is never outrageously busy. Worth the detour everytime.

This place is super super cute and is by the same people as An's Dry Cleaning and An's Electronics!…read moreI absolutely love that they have their flavor tour which is where they give you a sample of every flavor they have. They also have very unique flavors and change it up every few weeks. My favorite flavor they had was when they had their Matcha collab with Paru Tea, and I believe they still bring the matcha flavor back sometimes! They definitely get really busy on the weekends (1-2 hour wait) so I recommend going on a weekday where I only had to wait 10 minutes! The pricing is a little pricy, but not too bad, especially for the quality and service they provide! I also definitely recommend going to their other stores too as they are all different themes. Free 1 hour parking garage!

I've been to the location in North Park (An's Dry Cleaning) and drive by it often ...always a long line! there's a location in Petco Park (An's Athletic Field services) and one now in OB (An's Electronics Repair)

This sounded good after dinner at a nearby restaurant and before a show at Belly Up. I had never…read morebeen to this location before even though I've tried all the restaurants in this mall. The parking lot was pretty empty. It was a bit of a cool night and there was no line. I looked at the different flavors and there were a few. I opted for a soft serve. I just got the plain vanilla, but had it dipped in the butterscotch shell because I was feeling nostalgic for the dipped cones I had as a child. The woman helping us was patient while we made up our minds. I needed napkins as it started dripping immediately, even through the thick coating. We sat at the tables outside and ate our cones. The butterscotch tasted ok but it was really thick and waxy so I didn't finish it. If I were in the area i might come back and get ice cream or soft serve again but skip the dip.

This was just ok, definitely not my favorite ice cream. Or even my favorite ice cream the day that…read morewe went, because I had been to a Baskin Robbins earlier in the day. Small amount of flavor choices for regular ice cream. I got Rocky Road, one of my favorites. Their RR was pale brown in color, when I prefer darker chocolate. The ice cream also started dripping almost immediately, even though it was a slightly chilly night. So it was definitely a lighter texture, or kept at a higher temperature. They also only had cake cones, not my favorite. I definitely prefer sugar cones, or waffle cones if I'm splurging. The employee working was nice enough, nothing to complain about there. They only have a few tables outside, no seating inside.

The employee who helped us, Luke, was fantastic. Several of us wanted to sample different flavors before deciding, and he was patient, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. He even took the time to recommend flavors for the kids to try (Cinnamon Snickerdoodle, which he said it tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch... and he was right)! His positive attitude, professionalism, and kindness made the experience so much more enjoyable. We left with great ice cream and an even better impression of the shop thanks to Luke.

All three of us got the salted, malted cookie dough, and damnnnn it was delicious. Love a malted option! One of us also got birthday cake with blackberries, which was a unique spin and the other got the raspberry marzipan princess cake. That one was vegan, and impressively good with the pistachio-cashew base. Our daughter also had a scoop of vanilla she was happy with. The folks helping us were very friendly and prices seemed semi-normal. Next time, just fill 'er up and we'll give you five stars :)

Wow--what an overwhelming amount of ice cream choices! This place seriously has everything,…read moreincluding a bakery and coffee, so it's a great one-stop spot. Service was pretty quick, which I appreciated. They also offer gluten-free cookies and other baked goods, which is a nice bonus. That said, the gluten-free cookie on its own was pretty bland--but I could see it being much better paired with ice cream. One thing to note: they don't really offer a kids size, and when I asked for smaller portions, they said it would still be charged as a regular--so parents of little ones, just a heads up! The ambiance wasn't super inviting--more of a "grab your treat and go" vibe--but with its prime location near the beach, it's easy to see why it stays busy. Overall, still worth checking out!

Not worth the difficult parking…read more Food: 1/5 One flavor is three scoops of ice cream. We ordered two flavors, which was four scoops, hoping we could split the ice cream into two cups so we would each have two scoops. We asked our server if they could split the ice cream for us--just put two Ube Matcha scoops in one cup, two Cookies and Cream scoops in another. This is against company policy, but they were willing to give us a second cup so we can surgically operate on the mixed ice cream and split it ourselves (??). The Matcha Ube was more green tea flavored than matcha or ube. The Cookies and Cream was good. The ice cream--even if three scoops for one flavor--is just not worth the street parking or flavor mashing. There are other better ice cream places. Service: 3/5 Nothing to say or add. No bad news is good news. Atmosphere: 2/5 Holy overstimulation. There were two other families in the ice cream parlor with us, and we were all being serviced at once at the cashier. It's too small of a room to do that. I would recommend this place to kids 12 and under who live down the street and need a quick sweet treat. Final rating: 2/5

I'm always a coffee ice cream person so the coffee chocolate chip was perfect. Sometimes the line can get a bit long on weekend nights but the line moves fairly quickly. Parking in the plaza can be crowded but you'll eventually find a spot. You cannot access inside of the shop but there are a few tables and benches available to sit at outside the shop. Overall, Handel's is definitely one of my go to options for a late night sweet treat.
