Wonderful ice cream! Cute retro decor and ambiance. Only 1 woman was working on Saturday night and she was bombarded with customers. They let you get samples which is good because there are so many options for flavors. It's a bit pricey at $7.50/scoop (with +$1.50 for a waffle cone), it is a large portion. I like the games inside and there is a lot of seating both indoors and out. read more

Quite delicious ice cream parlor in downtown San Luis Obispo. I couldn't decide on just one flavor, so I got one of the ones with peanut butter on top and then brownie one on the bottom. I saw they also had an option with ice cream on a waffle or brownie, but I was too full from my dinner at Kiko's down the street to go that route. They have a nice seating area in front. Definitely a good place to go for a cold dessert! read more

The cute ice cream shop caught my eye on a cool Wednesday night. There were plenty of college aged people hanging out on the street outside. My after dinner treat was a sweet cup of ice cream as I walked around the downtown area. Plenty of flavors to choose from and free samples for days. The service was friendly and efficient despite the line. A little pricey but well worth the stop in! read more

Super friendly service. Very patient with my kiddos trying to decide which flavors they wanted. Ice creams very super creamy and delish.

Great customer service and delicious ice cream. I got a few samples and landed on pistachio nut. My wife selected chocolate a la mode. I wonder if they make it in house? read more

I have beencoming to SLO a' La Mode for quite some time now and it never disappoints! I come down to SLO to visit my daughter at Cal Poly OFTEN and I cannot go home without having some delicious ice cream. My favorite flavor is Iced Latte-Da, but Exhausted Parent is yummy too. And let's not forget Ben behind the counter providing great customer service. He is always super friendly and has a great memory. read more

fantastic ice cream flavors, best i know of in the region. Management went above and beyond to help me get a favorite flavor of ice cream.

Delicious Ice cream. The cones are very good and the service is spectacular. Underrated!

SLO a La Mode is a local ice cream parlor that is open late (11-10pm daily). They offer a lot of regular flavors and special mixed flavors - some of which reminds me of Coldstone Creations (in a good way!). There are vegan and oat flavors as well. You can get up to 2 flavors with single or double scoop ($6 sgl/$9 dbl). The staff is friendly, and there's patio seating available. read more

Such a friendly young man at the counter, didn't catch his name. Friday evening, December 12. Banana cream pie ice cream was phenomenal! The Elvis peanut butter one was good too. So many creative flavors. Definitely worth a stop. read more

A mom and pop shop serving ice cream flavors & toppings to the locals and the Cal Poly students. Prices were a little high for ice cream, but I enjoyed the flavors they offered, that was served with a smile. read more

Service was amazing, super nice and polite! We came in 30 minutes before closing and it was packed! (Friday night). They offer a ton of flavors. Highly recommended to stop by. Had a nice outdoor area to sit and eat, but we took our ice cream to go! read more

It's hard to mess up ice cream but there were flies the second you walk into the shop. The man that served us was on the phone the entire time, obviously not caring about service. And the ice cream had ice shards throughout the scoop. I would rather drive 15 minutes to the ocean and freeze some salt water, that would've given me a more enjoyable experience read more

Good ice cream, good service. a little pricey but you're downtown, what do you expect. They have low sugar options, which is great.

Service is fantastic and the ice cream is even better. I had the Zanzibar chocolate and Strawberry! And then I went back for more. read more

SLO à La Mode - Lori and Whitney enjoyed the ice cream here, immensely. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Unfortunately we had a very poor experience this evening. We came in with our whole family.....four adults and five kids. My oldest has an egg allergy (which is in the top 5 most common allergies). We asked which flavors had egg. The young lady behind the counter had no idea. We asked if she had an ingredient list. She flipped threw a binder but came back with no answers . We asked her if there was anyone she could call. There was no one else waiting in line, it was just us. So no other customers were waiting. She called the manager and when she got off the phone, she said the manager told her to tell us not to get any ice cream because they didn't know. So we left. I am extremely shocked that they didn't have an ingredient list for the most common allergies. We went to mcconnels,one street over, and they knew exactly which flavors were egg free. Kids with allergies deserve ice cream to. read more

Great ice cream! Ben was a sweetheart and was great to my big family who all came in to order. Will come back when I am in the area

Delicious ice cream with a couple non dairy options. The gentleman who helped us was super nice and it smelled so good in the shop as he was making homemade waffle cones. We will definitely return! read more

YES! ice cream cakes! YES! It's good! Next birthday party? Get an ice cake! Normally they need a few days to get a cake ready but I was able to have my cake in 30 hours! Right when I needed it! Super last minute but I truly appreciated it! Cute place definitely coming back for ice cream and an ice cream cake for another birthday! read more

They have large selection of flavors and you get most of the classic. Pretty standard, banal. read more

I waited in line and when I asked a question the guy told the people behind me if they knew what they wanted... so I walked out as he served them. read more

We stopped in with the kiddo and were not disappointed! They have lots of different size options for scoops which is great if you just want a little. Lots of interesting flavors as well-the banana pie is to die for! Definitely stop by if you're perusing downtown and need a sweet treat. read more

I got the Malt Amore and it was amazing. The fudge and chocolate chunk ratio was perfect. Great customer service too!

I live out of the area but I come here every chance I get! Their ice cream has the best consistency and they truly have great flavors. Once, I even tried their sugar free ice cream and i didnt want to believe it was sugar free! It tasted so delicious! They are ao incredibly friendly also! But besides their ice cream and friendliness, im really wanting to post this because of their customer service!!! My father is a regular. He had been looking for a place to replace old doc Bernsteins ice cream and he found it here! Every Thursday night during farmers market, he goes there and gets the black raspberry ice cream. He absolutely loves it! We found out that when they get close to running out of that ice cream, they would save a scoop of it just for my dad. How amazing is it to find service like that. Someone that would go out of their way to save some for a customer. read more

Excellent ice cream and waffle cone very fresh. Friendly place and lot of choices. Try the strawberry cheesecake ice cream.

I wish they had a few more non-dairy choices, but the ones they do have taste great. Very friendly service and reasonably priced for downtown SLO. read more

I was walking by and saw the list of flavors which sounded delicious. The young gentleman that greeted us was very friendly and knowledgeable about the flavors. My son got the birthday cake ice cream, which he absolutely loved. And I was super excited to see they had 2 non-dairy, oat ice cream, options. I went with the Vanilla Chocolate Chip Oat and was not disappointed. We will definitely be stopping back in, whenever we're in the downtown area. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by this place for breakfast (because ice cream for breakfast is the best way to do vacation) and we were welcomed despite technically not being open yet. Service was awesome and very accommodating and the ice cream was so good! There are so many unique, wonderful flavors to choose from and this shop is very clean with lovely patio seating. Will come back the next time we're in the area for sure. read more

For the price, portion size seems sort of small but there were a variety of flavors. Nothing mind-blowing, but located in a convenient location and fun for a quick snack/hangout. read more

My wife and I recently discovered this wonderful ice cream parlor in downtown SLO. We are vegan, and we are almost always disappointed when we ask a store if they have a vegan dessert. But we scored big time with SLO a La Mode: not only do they offer several vegan ice cream flavors, but ALL their cones are vegan--even the waffle cone. Thank you, Peter, for helping us vegans indulge, too! read more

Had to pop in for the delicious vanilla choc chip oat ice cream. Yum! Great service. Clean friendly staff. Will be back.

We were visiting SLO & went inside this new ice cream shop. We were greeted immediately by the owner and he was so kind and friendly! He let us try various flavors. There are a variety of different flavors and they have creative names, which make it fun to figure out which one you want to try. The ice cream was delicious and we will be coming back for more! read more
