But man-oh-man the ice cream is amazing: Dense, rich, and decadent - all made in house by a family who apparently know what they are doing. All your ice cream favorite flavors are available, plus some varieties that are unabashedly in the gourmet category. I've been in this area close to 30 years and I've not had better ice cream.

They'll do it right there in front of you. And if you don't want a popsicle, there's a ton of different ice cream flavors you can choose from too! The flavors also change which keeps it exciting. GO HERE! Stalk up so your freezer can always keep you happy!

Nimble & Finn's, what have you done? Your ice cream was so good I'm craving it from San Francisco!…read more We were visiting Santa Rosa and we wanted to treat ourselves to some ice cream after lunch. I searched Yelp for a good ice cream spot and found Nimble & Finn's. Upon entering, we were surprised by the really cute decor and ambiance of the place. They had unique and creative ice cream flavors and I really liked that they combined two of my favorites - Lavender and Honeycomb. They also had Creme Brûlée, which I also liked, so I convinced my husband to get it. I'm glad he got that coz I got to try both and was very satisfied. Even my husband who is not really into sweets actually enjoyed his ice cream and finished it! Oh how I wish they had a location here in SF so I can just have it any time and try their other flavors. But if you're ever in Santa Rosa, you got to give Nimble & Finn's a try. It's totally worth it. Also bring a cooler with you so you can bring home this ice cream goodness!

Service was amazing!!…read moreThey were patient with us while we sampled their array of unique ice cream flavors and were so kind. I ended up getting the Lavender Honeycomb and it was super yummy! It's only a personal preference, but I felt like the honeycomb candy made it too sweet. However, I understand that's a little hard to control since it is honeycomb candy. The lavender flavor paired very nicely with the honeycomb candy regardless! If I'm ever in Santa Rosa, I will definitely be back!!

In my opinion, Noble Folk not only has the best ice cream in Sonoma County, but also some of the best pies and cupcakes. They do just about everything dessert as well as support other local businesses and local farms. They have a wonderful assortment of merch you can buy and they also have a great staff of people who work for them. On this particular visit, we came in for ice cream. Their ice cream flavors are really unique and fun, with lots of flavors and textures. Tonight I tried their Sticky Toffee flavor, which was superb. I am also very partial to their Dutch Chocolate and their Earl Grey ice cream. Besides their ice cream, I've also had their pie on several occasions including ordering their pies for holidays. They are a great business to support so please stop on by and check it out!

Also, super cute decor with hand painted tables & I love the indoor and outdoor seating options. Wasn't that expensive for ice cream either. Highly recommend if you're in Sebastopol (also check out the Rewind for pinball about a 2 min walk away). UPDATE: it was so good I went back in line and got more ice cream when I finished -- Java galaxy if you couldn't guess ;)

On the way back from Mendocino to the Bay Area, I thought a break for ice cream would fit the bill…read more I like ice cream shops that make their own premium ice cream with great care. Dave's Ice Cream stood out on that score so we stopped by. I opted for the Macchiato Salted Caramel and my wife had a smaller Coffee Toffee. Oh my. This was totally great ice cream - rich, creamy and delicious! We savored every mouthful. On the wall they posted awards from the Sonoma County Fair, winning Best Of The Show ice cream three separate years. And my ice cream choice, Macchiato Salted Caramel, had won Best Of Show in 2025. Seven other flavors had also won awards. Dave's Ice Cream will be up there with the top ice cream shops I have visited. I've never tasted better ice cream!

There isn't a huge range of flavors to choose from but I wanted to try the lemon lime swirl and their mango. Both were delicious and I was having a hard time deciding which flavor I wanted my scoop, the server said do 1/2 scope of each. Delicious! The mango had chunks of fresh mango and the lemon lime swirl you could taste the distinct flavors. My husband had a couple scoops of jamoca almond fudge and agrees on the taste. They make the ice cream by scratch. They also have a coffee bar inside too. Again not a lot of choices but I had the London Fog tea and it was good. I wish they had sleeves for the cups.

What I really love about it though is how much my daughters love it. Especially one of them, where anytime she does something good, this is the place she wants to go. And she always gets the same thing, the Cookie Doughn't You Want Some. She's tried other things, and she almost got something new last time, but then she stopped and said she didn't want to risk being disappointed when she knows this one will make her insanely happy. And every time, it does. I've probably been there at least 15 times, and I honestly can't remember ever having a bad experience. The employees are usually really nice, and everything is consistent. We're actually thinking about getting her a cookie dough birthday cake from here this year, so I'm hoping that goes just as smoothly since I've seen a few mixed reviews on the cakes. Fingers crossed. At the end of the day, it makes my daughter happy, and that makes me happy too.
