    Shake
    Jaclyn R.

    This place is cute and open till 9pm. We came here after dinner for a sweet treat. Service was good. Employee was exceptionally nice! Ice cream is good but not made in house. She did say it was locally sourced though. Ice cream was pricey. Things I'd recommend: Better spoons- 0/10 Very flimsy and makes the joy of eating almost impossible to enjoy with a crusty cheap spoon. Dolly llama shake 3/10 - too thick and unable to suck it from the straw. We got a build your own bubble waffle with cookies and cream, horchata ice cream, bananas, & almonds. 4/10. Bubble bread is bland and tastes like a cheap pancake with no flavor. It left a lot to be desired. Build your own $17.25 Shake $11 Total with tip was $34.18

    THE DOLLY LLAMA SHAKE

    Got the Dolly Llama shake and it was soooo gooodddd !! The girl at the counter was also very friendly and welcoming . Place is very clean and has a nice layout . Doesn't seem to get too busy here because of its location , but hopefully more people can check this place out ! :)

    DOLLY'S DREAM (BUBBLE WAFFLE) in front and BUILD YOUR OWN BUBBLE WAFFLE
    Madison O.

    This is one of my go to ice cream places in the area because I can't get over how amazing their bubble waffle/ice cream combo is! Especially when the ice cream melts on top of the waffle. I also love the portion size they give you for the price. The only reason one star is knocked off is because the ice cream is pretty basic tasting, nothing special. However, with all the toppings and waffle I think it's worth it. The interior is cute with a llama wall display and games to play while waiting. Most times I have come it hasn't been too busy and the service is quick. I have encountered the friendliest staff members here who always have a smile on their face :)

    The Dolly Llama is a wonderful little gem here in Yucaipa! If you're craving ice cream, this is the place to go. They have an awesome selection of flavors, and the option to pair them with bubble waffles makes the combinations endless. The lady working there greeted us warmly and was so kind--she offered us samples and was incredibly patient with my four-year-old son, giving us her full attention the whole time. We also loved the calm, welcoming ambiance and had fun playing the games they have available. All in all, it was a sweet experience in every sense of the word. We'll definitely be back! P.s. Save the cool llama spoons!

    I recently visited this place for the first time and tried their Ultimate Cookie Monster Waffle Cone. It was incredibly delicious, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area.

    Vanilla Ice Cream (Vegan)--"the llama made me do it"

    The Dolly llama is a creamery that offers many different ice cream choices to choose from. They also have dairy free options, they had a total of three on the day I visited. I opted for the vanilla ice cream in a cup. It was creamy and delicious! I have visited another location that was closer to home, but no longer there, so the brand is not new to me. The restroom was clean and the service was good. I happened to be passing through and I would definitely recommend.

    Parking available in the front and back of building Ice cream, bubble waffles, and coffee Very welcoming and friendly barista We got the sugar free chocolate macadamia iced coffee, matcha de coco, and pistachio matcha. We absolutely loved it! 10/10 highly recommend

    The ice cream is great but those bubble waffle cones are not worth it! They are so messy! They have no structure like a normal cone so the ice cream (that melts instantly because the cones are hot when served) was just constantly dripping out of the bottom. By the end, I just had a puddle of ice cream on the table that I could not avoid! On the other hand, I would totally go back for a cup of ice cream with a waffle on the side. Both were good but I wouldn't put them together again.

    If you want the perfect treat day or night, this is the place! We are regulars. We enjoy playing a board game from the restaurant. Staff is friendly and inviting. We always have a good time with our family enjoying a delicious treat.

    Lavender matcha latte with lavender cold foam
    Michelle T.

    Okay now, can we say "oh my" It was a girls day so 5 of us set fourth, honestly we started out to try a newer spot in town. We walked in & right out, after seeing how basic their coffee menu was. So we drove a few blocks and landed here. It did not disappoint, from matcha, to lattes the 5 of us were pleasantly pleased with our choices.including mine, something kept me leaning in for the lavender matcha... it was so good, with simple hints of lavender it was truly yummy. Other drinks that were enjoyed were; Red velvet latte Dubai latte Strawberry matcha Smores latte and we went in to full on try the Cookie Monster waffle. Everything was amazing so much that I'll be back with the guys!

    Yelp reviews brought us here! The freshly made waffles are GREAT! The prices are pretty comparable to places like Cold Stone and Baskin Robbins, so no complaints there. The inside is super clean, which always makes a big difference in the overall experience. Customer service was great, she was very kind! The only con I noticed is that the ice cream flavors are a bit unique compared to the standard ones you might find elsewhere. I loved the cookies and cream, but the bubblegum flavor wasn't quite what we expected. Still, I appreciated the different take! Overall, I'll definitely be back to try more flavors. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

    This is my second time coming here this week :) I got the cookie butter latte this time (THE BEST COOKIE BUTTER LATTE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE!!) and it was just as perfect as I expected! My new coffee/sweet treat spot!

    Matcha

    As much as I loved their customer service, I'm sad to say their matcha was not good. I would have liked a little more matcha flavoring. My cup consisted of mostly milk and after stirring the matcha it turned into a beige color.

    Food a great ice cream spot, delicious, yummy. Great service and super clean. The bubble waffle is a must have .

    Somehow, I got lucky and managed to find this friendly, cute, rough-around-the-edges kind of small…read moretown diner known for their great breakfasts, in the middle of nowhere. The only reason it caught my eye was because our tax preparer was just down the street. It was obviously well loved by the locals after reading their great reviews and seeing a full parking lot. And this was on a Wednesday. We only had time for a quick bite, ordering nothing out of the ordinary. A quickie breakfast of sausage, scrambled eggs, and pancake, were all we had, but everything was nicely done. The pancake was big, light and airy, served with a carafe of warm syrup and a huge scoop of butter. The scrambled eggs were moist and fluffy, the sausage was basically a Farmer John sausage patty that was properly warmed but not overcooked, and very good tasting. My only criticism was the coffee being too thin for my liking, but keeping our coffee mugs filled was something they definitely did well! The service was wonderful. They knew we were in a rush, and handled us with TLC the entire 35 minutes we had. What I do know is, I will be looking forward to our next tax appointment, hah, knowing our morning will start off right here. Next time...chicken fried steak, or maybe a bowl of hearty homemade soup, y'all!

    Found out about this place from people comparing Clarkie's to Carolyn's Cafe. Not going to lie,…read morecoffee cake was really really good here. Honestly can't go wrong at either spot. I had the country fried steak and I have to give it a strong 9/10. Perfectly cooked and gravy was also just as tasty. Potatoes were a little bland and needed some seasoning. Pancakes are the size of a medium pizza! lol I'll definitely be coming back. Our server Kim was amazing! Very sweet and friendly. Overall service here is a 10.
