This is an ice cream shop located right by the beach. Thrifty Ice Cream is already very well known,…read moreand I often see it inside Rite Aid stores. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The shop also sells a variety of candies and snacks, which makes it a fun place for kids. Since it's located next to a bar, there is often live music on Friday and Saturday nights, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Parking can be a bit difficult, and getting in and out of the parking area feels quite tight. The shop is also filled with a lot of merchandise, so the space can feel a little cramped. Overall, it's a fun spot to grab some ice cream by the beach, especially if you enjoy a lively atmosphere and live music on the weekends.

I was in this area of Oceanside in the valley and was looking for ice cream. Upon recommendations,…read moreI came across Ocean Rainbow ice cream parlor. Remotely hidden in the back of the shopping plaza on El Camino Real & Mission Ave, is this gem of a small ice cream shop, Ocean Rainbow. One could easily drive right past them because of their small signage on the exterior. The shop is very small and see maybe 10 people. Yeah, very friendly service that is excellent and fast to greet and offer a free sample. This ice cream shop has a very large variety of flavors that are native to Mexican culture. They have ice cream scoops, milkshakes, water-based popsicles, sherbets, sundaes, chamango, banana splits, icicles, elotes, esquites, Tostilocos, popsicles, shaved ice and a whole lot more. You can find flavors like guava, rice, pistachio, coconut, Oreo, cookie dough, rocky road, mango, mamey, cactus fruit, pine nut, MAZAPAN, chamoy, tamarindo, burnt milk, Gansito and even tequila. There most popular item is the Fresas Con Crema. Prices are very reasonable and I got a 3-scoop chocolate waffle cone for $8. They also have fresh-made aguas frescas that are made to-order and esquimales too! I highly recommend checking this spot out the next time you have a sweet tooth!

Our experience at the Oceanside Cold Stone can be summed up with four S's:…read more Snarky - Every interaction felt like we were inconveniencing them by ordering ice cream. No smiles. No eye contact. Just an impressive amount of attitude. Sassy - Not the fun, charming kind of sassy--the "can't-be-bothered-to-pretend-I-care" kind. Every response felt short, dismissive, and like customer service was optional. Sensational - Not because the service was unforgettable, but because the dress code apparently took the night off. None of the employees appeared to be in uniform, and one was wearing what looked like a tube top. It felt less like walking into a Cold Stone and more like interrupting a group hangout that just happened to have an ice cream counter. Stench - The smell inside the store deserves its own review. It honestly smelled like a locker room full of high school boys had been doing jumping jacks while eating asparagus. We expected the sweet smell of waffle cones and ice cream--not whatever biological experiment was happening in there. The whole experience felt like we wandered into a reality show called Teens Who'd Rather Be Anywhere Else. We weren't greeted, smiled at, or made to feel welcome once. The only thing colder than the ice cream was the customer service. Thankfully, Cold Stone's recipes are good enough to survive even the most uninterested staff--but management may want to remind this crew that people aren't just paying for ice cream. They're paying for an experience.

I absolutely love Golden Spoon, it is my favorite frozen yogurt in Oceanside. I live 3 minutes away…read moreso I'm here somewhat regularly, probably once a week. I love the variety of flavors they give. New flavors come and go somewhat regularly and that keeps it interesting. The inside is clean. The prices are average, but they really give you so much yogurt that it makes it worth it. They really pile it high. The service is fine, never had a bad experience with it. They're generally friendly. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a new frozen yogurt spot.
