    Very yummy ice cream! You can sample flavors here before ordering. They use Strauss Family Creamery organic base for their ice cream!

    I've been wanting to try Theda's for a while now, so I'm glad I was able to finally check it out!! I love how they have their own classic flavors and rotating monthly flavors. Makes me wanna keep coming back for more since their flavors are always so creative! I also love the concept of partnering with another local business and org for one of the monthly flavors; really a great way to bring the community together. Servers were super helpful! My partner and I were curious about so many flavors, and they let us sample them. I felt so bad since it was busy, but they never made me feel rushed. We decided on the banana chocolate hazelnut and oatmeal cookie sandwich. Both yummy, but oatmeal cookie sandwich was sooo good! Such a great addition to the small businesses in Napa!

    Ice Cream Flight: Pure Vanilla, Nana's Shortbread, Peach Sweet Tea and Strawberry Shortcake Bar. Each flavor was delicious!

    We were so excited to finally try this! After tasting a few flavors, both my sister and I decided to try flights. I got Peach Sweet Tea (soft and delicious with pieces of peach), Pure Vanilla, Nana's Shortbread (pieces of shortbread and cherries made this so delectable) and Strawberry Shortcake Bar. I also got the complimentary waffle cone crumbs and it was perfect! The inside and outside of the ice cream parlor was so clean and the staff were very helpful and patient. We chose to sit inside and eat our ice cream and it was so refreshing.

    The cleanest ice cream shop I've ever been to! The color theme is nice too, very elevated. One of the nicer business in the shopping plaza. They had a lot of flavors to offer and I love that one side is seasonal (they change monthly) and the other is their regular flavors. Very organized. The staff are patient and friendly. The prices are reasonable too, especially with homemade ice cream! They sell a sampler of 4 single scoops which was perfect to share with my partner. It's definitely a treat and I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for dessert. There's not many places like this in the area.

    Nana's Shortbread Biscuit

    Found this place after eating at Mothers Tacos. They are located in the same strip mall, just at the very opposite side of the building. The shop is very simple looking --- but the flavors are all stand-out! I told the employee I was visiting, and they were very kind to let me try out as many unusual and novel flavors as I wanted. What kind of interesting flavors, you may ask? Some like Rhubarb Custard Crumble, George + Kin's Vanilla Toffee, and even this rewind from my childhood: the Shirley Temple Float! What awesome flavors, and awesome names! I ended up getting 2 flavors, one seasonal, and the other "in-house", aka, their main flavors. I got the George + Kin's Vanilla Toffee (George and Kin is a Diner a hop and a skip away from Theda's - a collab), and the must try: Nana's Shortbread Biscuit - described as brown butter ice cream with shortbread chunks, raspberry jam, royal icing, and just enough cherries. PRO-TIP: Splurge on that waffle-cone. It is made FRESH, and when I held it --- it was still very warm to the touch! Never have I experienced that fresh of a waffle cone! 10/10! The inside was clean, and the employees definitely made the customer matter. If ever you need something sweet and you're in Napa, this place has my seal of approval! Thanks Theda's for a wonderful experience!

    Staff was super friendly. Busy on a Sunday but the ice cream and waffle cones were a delight! Had strawberry, rockier road and coffee flavor so fresh! Loved it

    Galactic brownie

    I came here with my sister to get some ice cream. We both ordered minis. I got a mini of the galactic brownie and she ordered the rockiest road flavor. The ice cream was delicious. I also loved how reasonable the prices of their ice cream is. It's pretty cool that they also have seasonal flavors which they rotate monthly. Definitely will be back again to try more flavors. Try it out if you like. :)

    I was in Napa on Sunday and craving some ice cream. A quick yelp search landed me at this spot. They have a lot of fun flavors and did a recent collaboration with a local bakery in town as well which I thought was really cool! I ordered the s'mores ice cream after trying a few flavors at the recommendation of the staff member. I really appreciated that they let me take my time with ordering. I ended up getting a scoop of s'mores ice cream on a waffle cone. The only reason this is not five stars is because I feel like the ice cream was a tad bit icy and the graham cracker pieces inside were soft rather than crunchy. I do realize that this must have been a popular flavor because she was scooping from the bottom of the bucket, but just something to know when picking out your ice cream. Overall, I am really happy and I love that they're walking distance from the taco shop that I also love. I will definitely be back!

    Flight!

    If you're an ice cream lover, this place fits the bill. Great ice cream and a fantastic assortment of flavors. Being that Napa has lost several local ice cream shops over the years, Theda's is a fantastic addition to Napa. Offering something similar to the old Three Twins with their fascinating flavor choices that look odd but tastes amazing. The service is great and the prices are reasonable. The bonus is the give you "waffle crumbs" to top off your ice cream! This is a place we will frequently visit and I would recommend to others.

    I had been wanting to try Theda's ice cream since I first heard about it opening! I was in Napa recently and after eating some delicious burgers for lunch, I knew where we would be having dessert! We leaned about how the owner used to grow up making ice cream with his grandmother, Theda, who the shop is named after. The icon of the store that gives it their foundation of success is Nana's Shortbread which tastes like all the delicious flavors you want in an ice cream! We sampled quite a few of the flavors and ended up getting the seasonal farmers market which had blueberries in it, Nana's shortbread, brown butter banana bread and caramelized chocolate croissant in the flight of 4 scoops. We sat outside at the tables enjoying every single flavor we picked and we instantly knew we needed to take some pints of ice cream home! We went back inside and grabbed the strawberry matcha ice cream and the chocolate croissant in the pint size! They were out of the banana bread and nanas shortbread and they said they couldn't just scoop them and pack them unfortunately. The overall ambiance of the location is very clean, simple and professional which is nice because it really keeps the focus on the ice cream! I hope their next location they open is in vacaville!

    Finally had the chance to visit this new ice cream shop. I was so excited to try some new flavors after seeing them on instagram. They are located in a bare shopping plaza with plenty of parking. I arrived on a Saturday at 12:40pm. There were two customers ahead of me which gave me the opportunity to look around. I was greeted by lovely employees. The place was big inside, clean, and has some tables inside and some outside. There was a wide selection today and I already knew what I wanted. I had one scoop of the peach sweet tea and one scoop of the farmers market which was sour pluot sorbet. I ate my ice cream outside which was a nice breezy day. The peach sweet tea was perfection, and suitable for summer! It was delicious I was a little hesitant to have the pluot after having the peach sweet tea. I had a little taste and it was more sour than I thought it would be. In my mind I was thinking, "oh no, this isn't going to be good". Boy was I wrong!! It was more sour because the first ice cream scoop was sweet. Upon eating more of the sour pluot, it turned out to be great, the sourness went away, it was quite refreshing and I appreciated that they used the skin of the pluot. I especially loved the texture of the sorbet. As I think about it now, i don't think I had sorbet before and this was delicious- I would get this again. I love the flavors and textures of their ice cream and I would definitely come back. I am excited to see what new flavors they come up with next.

    Left to right: cookie dough and cream, crème brûlée, and blood orange creamsicle
    Karina R.

    My kids and I stopped by for some dessert here. Recommended by a friend. They have a lot of interesting flavors, many looked yummy! My kids got blood orange creamsicle and the other got cookie dough and cream (mix of cookies and cream and cookie dough). I tried their flavors and both were really good! I love that they don't skimp on the cookies. The blood orange creamsicle was refreshing and very much resembles an orange creamsicle. I got the crème brûlée and I loved it! Very creamy. The little pieces of crunchy sugar were a nice touch. My little sister got the strawberry matcha and she really enjoyed that, I tried it but I'm not a matcha fan so it was not for me! Will be back to try more flavors!

    I absolutely love the idea of an icecream flight. The way my friends and I can try all these flavors but not have to commit to just one or two is just amazing to me. I haven't been to an icecream place that does this so props to them. The line was a bit long it being near closing time but it was very much worth it. All the flavors they had were delicious and they have new season ones depending on when you go. Nanas shortbread was arguably the most delicious for me and I'm bummed that this location is so far away from me. There's a lot of room inside for seating and some outside as well. The service was great and very family like vibes.

It looked absolutely delicious so we wandered down to the chocolate shop, not realizing that it's a full chocolate shop with wonderful dipped selections and began our journey there. Many of the chocolates that are served there can be easily paired with your wine tasting because certain chocolates and certain wines go wonderfully together. Dania was so nice and information friendly. She let me have samples which I was totally happy with, and I was definitely able to purchase more items because of this. You look through the windows of the cases you just want to eat eat eat. I also thought it was interesting that they had wine tasting room inside there but you know if you think about it wine and chocolates there's a place for that in your world.

My family got their desserts and enjoyed them. I recommend coming for their chocolates, and I'd be interested in their pairing. Vintage Sweet Shoppe off Main Street is a cute and popular spot for tourists and locals alike. There's free parking in the lot shared with the row of shops.

The moment you pull…read moreup, you're hit with that classic old-school burger stand vibe that brings back memories of simpler times. I went with the classic cheeseburger combo and couldn't resist upgrading to a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup shake. Great decision! The cheeseburger was everything a classic burger should be,not too big so you could enjoy other items, stacked with all the traditional fixings, and served on a perfectly toasted bun. The crinkle-cut fries came out piping hot, crispy, and salted just enough that you keep reaching back for "one more." Now let's talk about that shake... thick, creamy, loaded with chunks of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and absolutely worth every sip. On a hot summer day, it doesn't get much better than that. The icing on the cake is the customer service. The staff is always friendly, upbeat, and genuinely happy to see you, which makes the whole experience even better. Sometimes you don't need gourmet, you just need a burger, hot fries, an incredible shake, and a place that reminds you why classics never go out of style. Foster's Freeze delivers every single time, and I'll happily keep coming back for another trip down memory lane.

Everything was hot and fresh. Almost perfectly cooked, lots a flavor too which I appreciated. You can't go wrong with any of their ice cream. I have to give a shoutout to who I believe was the owner. A sweet older Asian lady. She was so welcoming and friendly. She took our order and helped prepare the food. I enjoyed talking to her. The restaurant it'self has fun decor -- I love the antiques inside and the car! Such a fun photo op opportunity. There were also fake fruits for kids to play with. My toddler had a blast playing with them. I think they can improve on cleaning up the place and getting rid of the flies. I hate when flies are near my food . It's uncomfortable when they're inside a restaurant.
