    Stopped by this cute little sweet shop at Belmont Park because I was craving a caramel apple and it totally hit the spot! The young lady working there was so sweet and even offered to cut my caramel apple for me, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. Great service and a perfect treat while walking around the park. Definitely recommend if you're in the area! I came on a Wednesday and it wasn't crowded but that changes on the weekend and summertime.

    Ice cream nachos!
    Leah W.

    Stumbled upon the sweet smell of fresh waffle cones today and this place was so YUM! we got the ice cream Nachos, yes please!! Two flavors, it was like 3 scoops of each, with lots of waffle cones pieces, whipped cream, sprinkles and asked for hot FUDGE instead of the syrup. Ellanie was our dessert barista and she couldn't have been "sweeter". I asked a ton a questions about everything and she was very helpful, even with recommendations. We also got caramel apples for $5!!!! Our nachos were only $9, all their stuff at Disneyland would be $2k. This place is a sweet deal for being in a tourist spot. And the store is super cute too :) Will def be back for more!

    Great ice cream with cookies and cream flavor. Tons of toppings to pick from and reasonable pricing. It gets very packed and wild in here though and they had a few drunks inside when I was visiting.

    It's a nice place to come get some ice cream after walking the boardwalk. I got rocky road and it was pretty good! Maybe not having the chocolate chunks in it & adding more marshmallows instead would make it 10x better. There was a line out the door but the staff were quick. Cone was $9.70 which seems a bit pricey but understandable since it is at Belmont.

    Kookie Monstah and Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

    We kept seeing everyone with ice cream at the beach and had to get some ourselves. The workers let each person sample 3 flavors so be mindful of your choices. We went with the Kookie Monstah and the Strawberry Cheesecake flavors. For a group of 5, two scoops was more than enough ice cream for all of us. Both flavors were delicious. It cost about $12 before tip so definitely a bit pricy but again the portion sizes are great. The place itself is very cute and the exterior is cute enough to take nice pictures against. Would definitely return!

    Very bad customer service, they don't help when you ask for it. The waffle was broken and I asked her to change it and she said they all the same!!!

    It was my families first time. We love ice cream so we had to try it! My dad had a cup of pistachio almond, my nephew had chocolate and I had cookies 'n cream. We had walked in at the right moment, along with ten or more people behind us. The ice cream shoppe is small, it felt very crowded, I'm glad service was fast and friendly. They offer a Yelp Check in offer discount! Prices were decent for the ice cream, I was pleasantly surprised for the amount of ice cream served. Portions can be HUGE! You can get a monster waffle cone, monster waffle bowl, ice cream bowls or a kids cup! They have 16 flavors, several toppings to choose from such as gummy bears or Oreos. They also sell souvenir cups, rootbeer floats, cotton candy, cookies, fudge and other sweet snacks! The ice cream was delicious! This is definitely the place to stop for ice cream, we will return next time to try other flavors!

    My husband and I had visited the beach for 2 days and checked the night On-The-Go fair park. The place is so long in business because the ice cream is delicious! Reasonable price, the scoop is huge. $almost 6. The service is nice! Check there if you take a vacation there.

    A nice assortment of flavors to choose from. Just your average ice cream! Located in the center of Belmont park. As a local, it's an obvious tourist trap, but a nice treat if you want to take a stroll in the area. I got the animal cookie flavor.

    Strawberry cheesecake ice cream cookie sandwich
    Vera B.

    For mine I got strawberry cheesecake ice cream in a cookie sandwich. The lady was really nice that served us and we came at the perfect time since it was a small line that became busy after we went. It's a very cute shop with also Cotten candy.

    This place is a must every time we're in San Diego. An extra large ice cream cone followed by a walk by the beach has become a family tradition. These cones are HUGE! I don't think there's anyway someone can finish one by themselves without any help, so if you have kids, I would highly recommend asking for extra cups and spoons to share or you will be left with a huge mess. I speak from experience. Lines are kinda long due to covid and the shop is small but well worth the wait. Ice cream served is Thrifty and the cones are made on the spot. Highly recommend if at Mission beach

They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

The smallest of gestures and niceties are what make leaving the house worth it. GIANDUIA. This cake is nothing you can be prepared for, yet everything you need without setting expectations.

All drinks come with oat milk (oatly barista) btw! You can sub for coconut milk, almond, or soy. I didn't buy any chocolate truffles, but noticed they're all vegan. They had some conchas and pastries too, all gluten-free. Didn't try them but they look promising! Apparently they offer free chocolate tasting, but the barista/cashier was busy making our drinks and had a couple of customers waiting so we didn't bother. They offer a variety of truffles and chocolate boxes.
