    Me and my daughter love it here . . Second time been to this ice cream shop I brought my daughter, she loved the corn in the cup but the first time I bought corn in the cup for her dad he tried it he said it was BOMB . We will keep coming here. So far we have only tried the corn but soon we will try everything on the menu !

    The staff here seem very friendly and kind. They have MANY snack options to choose from, and they even have a couple of food options. The fruits and veggies were fresh. Let me just tell you, they are not stingy when it comes to their serving. The snack bar looks, smells, and feels clean. I have been to only one other snack bar in Bakersfield, CA a few times, but I wasn't a fan. I LOVE The King Ice Cream Shop! I have been to a few other snack bars in a couple different counties, and I have to say that this one is my favorite! My favorites from here are the Mangonada and the Fresada.

    Oh man... watch out Paleteria's out there! The King Ice Cream is here! The King Ice Cream has tons of options here, from lunch, snack and desserts, they are really competing w the other guys. The frozen desserts are similar; however, they have more seating and it's just slightly more roomy in there. The King Ice Cream is located right next door to GameStop on Ming Ave. Parking shouldn't be a problem as it's a huge parking area; however, there are other businesses nearby so some days are better than others. I havent been here enough to tell you what days are better than others, but I do know that the wait time is less than 5 min here no matter how long the line is and I havent been here enough to see a huge line. The King Ice Cream doesnt only serve ice creams/paletas. I havent had an opportunity to try out their non-dessert menu but the elotes here are not your ordinary elote. They have cheetos and other chip options also dusted on the elote. They have great deals on lunch specials. I wish they were a little closer to my workplace because I would definitely come by during my lunch hour to try them out.

    I love this spot for snacks!!! Everything is so yummy and fresh. The prices are affordable. The people are friendly and helpful. It's a nice spot to get a quick Mexican snack and hang out or take it to go. There's a few other Mexican snack spots like this one but this is my favorite because they don't overcharge for every little thing.

    Love this place! We will definitely always stop here on our way to/from LA- my boyfriend also got a torta and he loved it

    Long live the King!! Strange how I have never seen this place before especially considering that wifey and I have a favorite restaurant nearby. They are in the same plaza as Ross Dress For Less on Ming Ave. My mom was the one who saw this shop, and she asked us to all go here after eating dinner. So glad that she made the suggestion. The King Ice Cream shop sells more than just ice cream. I saw some of those choices that others purchased, but we were only interested in their ice cream. I believe they make their own ice cream, but don't quote me on that. I was torn between trying one of their many paletas or a scoop of one of their ice cream flavors. After sampling several of their flavors, I chose a scoop of Strawberry Cheesecake. It was yummylicious. Everyone in the family was pleased with their choices. Happy that we found the King!! From now on, it will be our dessert place whenever we dine at this strip mall. Tasty ice cream plus a clean shop plus good service plus fair prices equals repeat business from us. We'll be back!!

    Magonada and limon ice cream was so good service was Amazing!! New fav spot

    My favorite spot in Bakersfield for a diablito or ice-cream!! And the service is amazing

    This place is godly. Their crepes are to die for i swear to you I've had crepes and did not like them before this place. Their strawberries are sometimes a little sour but most of the time they're great. Their tortas are also really good. They add a lot of Mayo sometimes but it's still good. This place is now my go to place for dates with my hubby.

    Mangonada
    Fab G.

    My favorite ice cream shop in Bakersfield. They have the best mangonadas and torta. Anything on their menu is delicious no doubt ! Worth the drive. Amazing products and customer service. One thing to be improved is to have another cashier that just helps others with small orders ice ice cream cups or water as the others get ready the lengthy order that take a longer process.

    Coconut & eggnog $3.50

    We got a 2 scoop Ice cream here for $3.50. It's delicious, we got eggnog & coconut flavors. Will try to come back! They make the ice cream in house.

I feel like it has a little bit of everything: the brownie, ice cream, hot fudge and nuts. We love their hot fudge and always order and extra on the side.

A mixture of ice cream and hot fudge as well as a wet overused towel altogether.

I'm hoping this was a one-off 1/5 stars,as the cousin Julie's hot brownie was exactly as expected really great tasting the brownie was soft and flavorful and the ice cream on top was creamy and delicious 5/5 stars the Anthony's Blondie was so bad in fact I told the owner and she said she would look into it but offered nothing but a sorry I don't expect to get a discount but I do want it to change I will order this again just to see if she actually took into account what I said I'm pretty regular there so hopefully something changes THE SERVICE : let's start with seem to be poorly run this day, It was very calm today and they were about eight couples in one group of six in the dining area the waitress was really slow reacting to people walking in. Yet she was the only one who seemed to be working she went to the table with water, took the orders, was the one to bring the waters out, and the food even though she was the only one working she kept up pretty good this seems to be a management issue there was about 8 to 9 people behind the ice cream area talking and chatting. All the while my water was refilled one time and in 1 hour visit .1/5 stars

But, things got better and I decided to accompany my party. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our server who displayed a genuine smile and kind voice. Upon returning to get our orders and asking me my choice, I chagrinned and said "Well, do you have a very fresh banana that is not ripe and possibly some peanut butter topping?" Our server immediately and unhesitatingly said "Let me go and check!" Upon returning, our server had the very unripe banana in hand, and showed it to me to get my approval! Wow, talk about customer service! Impressive! Our server then returned with banana cut up in a nice glass dish (those are becoming extinct) and the peanut butter topping (sauce really) and I went to town. It was delicious. Returning to our table, our server looked at me and said, "Here is another peanut butter sauce topping on me!" I was so taken aback, I just stared at our server and then our server said "My Momma always told me that some days folks need extra kindness..." to which I gasped in amazement and began to get very emotional. Whilst tears were running down my face, I said, "You'll never know just how very much this means to me. I will NEVER forget you!" Our server said, "Oh, that makes my day and makes me so happy!" Our server's first name starts with an "A", and that is not at all surprising. To me, that "A" stands not only for our server's first name, but also for AMAZINGLY AWESOME! And, upon our second return, I did remember our server's name and requested this server, and in true form, the genuine smile, kind voice, and conversational exchange proved that our server is truly AMAZINGLY AWESOME because she remembered me! I couldn't believe it. THANK YOU DEWAR'S FOR HIRING SUCH AN "AMAZINGLY AWESOME" INCREDIBLE AND MEMORABLE SERVER!

I have saught after small batch,…read morespecialty, mom and pop, craft ice cream shops in all the places I have lived, and I still always crave and want to come back to Dewar's ice cream and their highly coveted peanut butter chews. I almost always get the same order every time. A large sundae with Reese's on the bottom, cookie dough on top, hot fudge, and almonds with a handful of peanut butter chews on the side. This location is a great place to stock up on chews as they can sell any amount of mix and match in bulk of whichever flavors you want... which is something anyone would know and is only a slight indicator of my obsession with their chews.. lol This location in particular is my favorite to visit. The interior is completely decorated with the classic ice cream parlor decor, complete with large circular booths inside as well as comfy chairs in the enclosed outdoor area by the cozy fire during winter. You might even be lucky enough to have a wild Chewy sighting, their mascot, at this location. lol What a local icon! This location also goes ALL OUT with Christmas decorations during the holiday season. I grabbed a few of their custom ornaments and soaked in the festive vibes. They also have solid sized water cups, which is a niche thing to appreciate, but it is most definitely appreciated. I would be remiss if I didn't give a proper shout out to the staff at this location. Their staff are some of the most kind and attentive you'll ever find. They want to see every guest have an amazing experience and it shows in the pride they take in their work as well as the care they show when interacting with each of their guests. Their impeccable customer service feels personal in a way where you can't help but feel a part of the Dewar's family. Special shout out to Ashley, Brooke, Joey, and Sieclenda for always being so amazing!

They had a huge selection of paletas different flavors with and without fruit in them de leche or agua. I decided to go with the Tamarindo with Chile and a Coco de leche.
