I had mentioned to my bf that I was in the mood for something sweet to end our night. We headed downstairs of the plaza and he immediately pointed out this gelato shop and informed me that the line has been non stop out the door since we arrived to the plaza for happy hour. I figured it must be good so I took a shot on it. I was surprised to hear my bf wanted to try as well since he isn't much of a desserts person, so that's saying something! Although the line was out the door, I'd say we only waited about 10 minutes. We did notice the line growing even more so as we inched closer to ordering and upon our departure. It's super cold inside! They've got the AC blowing at 60 degrees, but for fair reason. Not much seating is available inside, but what they do have is great for two or three couples and slightly larger group. There are a couple of tables right out front as well. You can also find a stand up fridge with ready to go pints if you're interested in more volume or a shorter wait time! The lovely young lady asked if it was our first time visiting so she offered us their tasting flight of all the flavors. Even their cleansing palette flavor was delicious (tasted similar to a mint mojito). Everything was so tasty, it's hard to have a favorite. But I was happy to know you can get 2 flavors, no matter the size ordered!! What we ordered: Large Cup of Straw Hat (5/5) - this flavor will be the mango and passion fruit. She offered to top it off with tajin, so how could we decline?! It was beyond fresh and juicy of a flavor. Not too icy, the consistency was beautiful. It really was a delightful treat for the transitioning weather. Complimented the sunset well. Small Cup of Leather and Visor (5/5) - leather is supposed to be a brown butter + chocolate chip cookie flavor while the visor is a roasted pistachio. It practically melts together and gives a balanced nutty, malty, yet creamy experience. The chunks of cookie in the leather just elevated each bite and adds that desired texture. I liked that the cookie bits inside weren't all uniform. Honestly I feel like any of the flavors would pair nicely together. They are not overly sweet, it's pretty natural and subtle. Definitely a play on your ordinary flavors though, which I could appreciate. For example, they have a cookies n cream but they added Nutella. The vanilla flavor includes cinnamon and salted butter. The Dubai chocolate was definitely more chocolate forward and rich, but such a solid flavor that you can't go wrong. Overall, this spot is definitely worth the wait. I feel like they have an option for everyone and the staff is extremely kind and helpful. I'd definitely return and absolutely recommend to others. What a perfect way to enjoy a yummy treat being right across the ocean. FYI: small cup was $6.65 and large $7.75 but keep in mind you're allowed 2 flavors for any size!
A delicious gelato spot with great service, but be prepared to wait! They have unique flavor names that are all hatmaker themed, and they are constantly rotating. Before we ordered our gelato, the worker gave us a tour of all the flavors and their descriptions, allowing us to sample each one before choosing. While the process definitely makes the line longer, I really enjoyed trying all the flavors. I ended up picking the straw hat flavor, which was a mango passionfruit sorbet that was refreshingly tart. I came on a Sunday afternoon, and we had to wait in line for around 45 minutes. I wish there were more shaded areas on the sidewalk where the line was. The area has a lot of cute shops and it is a short walk to the beach, making jt a great stop for a beach hangout!
Definitely worth the visit. Expect long lines but also expect good service as you are offered the entire flight of flavors with descriptions of the ice creams/sorbets. Cool interior, wish there was more seating room but can see how it can get stuffy if there were more chairs as the lines back up quickly.
If I could give this place 10 stars, I absolutely would!!! We came here with a group of friends who love this spot, so expectations were already high. They were excited before we even walked in because this place is known for having lines out the door and has been voted the #1 ice cream/gelato shop in America two years in a row. Somehow, we timed it perfectly and walked right in. From the moment we stepped inside, it felt fun, welcoming, and totally unique. Instead of just picking a flavor, they take you through a full tasting experience. We were greeted right away, and the girl helping us was amazing, walking us through each flavor, explaining what made it special, and helping us discover what we liked. And I have to call this out because I loved it... they use real metal spoons for the tastings instead of plastic. It sounds small, but it makes the whole experience feel so much more elevated and thoughtful. They start you off with a lime palate cleanser (which honestly could've been a full order on its own, it was that good), and then you get to taste everything. The flavors are all named after hats, which makes it even more fun. We tried: * Straw-Hat (mango & passion fruit) * Fascinator (strawberry sorbet) * Mixmaster (salted butter, cinnamon, vanilla) * Leather (brown butter & cookies) * Coppola (cookies & cream with Nutella) * Visor (roasted pistachio) * CA Snapback (Dubai chocolate) Every single one was so good. They were also incredibly thoughtful about my daughter's tree nut allergy and made sure she could safely try all but three flavors. What surprised me the most was how much we loved the fruit flavors. I don't usually go for those, but the mango and strawberry were next level. You can tell they're made with real fruit. So fresh and full of flavor. Another thing I loved is that you can split flavors within a single scoop, which made it even more fun to try more combinations. We ended up getting: * Straw-Hat / Fascinator (small cup) * CA Snapback / Straw-Hat * CA Snapback / Strawberry * And the BEST one... Leather / Fascinator in a waffle cone That waffle cone... easily the best I've ever had. Not too chewy, not too crispy, just perfect. We took our gelato outside and ate it overlooking the Del Mar ocean, which just made the whole experience even better. This place lives up to the hype and then some. It's thoughtful, creative, and genuinely one of the best dessert experiences I've had. We will absolutely be back again and again!
Love the gelato here, even though I've been many times I usually try the samples I mean why not it's great. Fruit flavors are the best in my opinion, but really can't go wrong here. Also I think they choose a great location since the sq ft is small they hopefully won't close anytime soon, good business decision!
5 stars all across the board. An's is PERFECT! Helen and I were in line for about 40 minutes which honestly wasn't bad at all! This particular selection for February flavors was one of the hardest to order from because they were all amazing. If you get the chance to go, here's the flavor combos we got and liked! * Poke-Beru (Matcha Banana) & Broken Heart Brocade (Chocolate Raspberry) * Straw-Hat (Mango) & Kasa (Matcha Strawberry) So so perfect. And the flavor tour was so fun as always, I love chatting w/ the workers and finding out their favorites too. Every An's is perfect and Hatmakers might be my new favorite location.
Ok I've been to all of their other locations and this one is consistently the nicest service, best parking, AND NO LINE!! No complaints! I went back in December and I know their ice creams are delicious year round but I'd give their seasonal apple cider float a million stars. I can eat it every day for the rest of my life. Sooo good!
I'm so glad I finally got to try this award winning place! The hat shop was so cute, the workers were very kind and friendly, and the little plaza it's a part of is so beautiful on a sunny day! I got the Kasa (strawberry ice cream with matcha cake from local bakery, Paru) and Broken Heart Brocade (triple chocolate ice cream with a raspberry swirl). The small is a little over $7 which is pricey but they do give a fair amount and it's a good way to treat yourself! The Kasa flavor was really great--the strawberry ice cream had a perfect tartness to it and the matcha cake had a deep matcha flavor and wasn't too dry! But the broken heart brocade was even better! The chocolate ice cream was decadent without being too much, the raspberry swirl was a nice balance to its sweetness and it had these chunks of chocolate brownie-like pieces that were chewy and sweet and such a chef's kiss! Both flavors were creamy too! I just wish I had one closer to me in LA/OC!
An's Hatmakers Gelato absolutely lives up to the hype. The staff were incredibly kind and informative, and they let me sample all the flavors -- which made choosing even harder because every single one was amazing. They really knew their flavors too, which made the experience even better. I love that they rotate some flavors regularly, so there's always something new to try (guess I'll just have to keep coming back). The gelato itself was super creamy, flavorful, and had such fun, well-balanced combinations. Definitely worth the visit if you're a gelato lover. You can park in the structure for free up to a hour.
Pistachio is very strong. Just like eating the nut. No artificial flavoring. Lots of chunks, great for texture. Soooo delicious and not too sweet! We also chose the vanilla with white chocolate and caramel. it wasnt as sweet as i thought and paired very well with the pistachio. I've been to an's electronics repair so i know it's always a fun tasting experience coming here. I look forward to the flavor tours every time! service is great and they do a thorough job in explaining the flavors and business model. inside only has a few seating spots. Like maybe 4 or 5 tables with chairs. but people generally finish their ice cream quickly.
There's parking in the structure under the plaza. It can get really busy though, so be prepared to fight for your parking spot. The first hour is free but there's a charge for every hour after and they will ask for a credit card when you enter the structure and you have to swipe the same card when you leave. An's Hatmakers is on the first floor. The line was really long when we went on a Saturday around sunset. When we finally got up to the counter the service was amazing. They did a great job explaining each flavor and walking us through everything they offered with samples. And all of the ice cream was delicious! I ended up getting the straw hat and the beret. There's some tables in the store but they're better for small parties and it can get crowded. Would definitely come back but next time I'll be prepared for the wait.
Located just across the way from the beach, great spot to get some delicious ice cream. This is one of a few locations but this one is all about the hats. The decor and overall feel inside was nice. The man that assisted us was amazing. We opted for the full experience and tried all of them. You truly can't go wrong with any of the flavors. We opted for the SnapBack and visor. So good. Oh and def park in the parking structure since it gets crazy around there.
I was prepared for a line but the wait wasn't too long on a Saturday afternoon at 2pm. We parked in the adjacent structure. First hour was free and we made it just under the hour. We were able to try all the flavors before making a decision. The Visor (roasted pistachio) and Leather (brown butter + chocolate chip cookie) were my favorites but I had to share with the hubby who always gets chocolate so CA SnapBack it was. Every flavor was delicious, so smooth and creamy. Really enjoyed the waffle cone as well, it wasn't too sweet. I was hoping to try a matcha but the flavor was not releasing until the week after. 2 flavors in a waffle cone, get it and thank me later.

I tried the seasonal strawberry matcha (kasa) and banana matcha (poke beru). The strawberry had a mild flavor of strawberry with zero notes of matcha, and the banana matcha had a mild matcha flavor with zero hint of banana. I've had another flavor before that's not currently on the menu that was really good and had flavors true to its name, so I'm not sure why these two flavors lacked so much. Side note: the "flavor tour" they ask EVERY single customer if they want to go on, can cause what would be a 5 minute wait to turn into a 25 minute wait. I get they want you to have unlimited samples, but the approach isn't working for those who want to stop by and buy gelato. It's extremely annoying and unnecessary, so please stop asking. read more
Love An's! There was no line when we arrived on a Thursday evening. The shop was decorated so cutely with hats and Christmas decor. The staff offered us samples of every flavor, and they were all incredibly creamy and delicious. I ordered a small scoop of Santa's Hat (midnight cocoa + peppermint), and it was so good. I'll definitely be back! read more

Expected nothing less of An's Hatmakers with their unique but inviting flavors! They're located on the ground floor of the Del Mar Plaza. After visiting here and having come to An's Dry Cleaning in NP, I can say they are both on par with the same tasting experience of flavors, quality of their gelatos, and excellent service. Yes, the lines get quite long if you want to try all their flavors, but it certainly helps with choosing your flavors that you end up liking! This week's round up was: 1. Coppola - cream, choco, nutella 2. Visor - pistachio 3. Cypress - midnight chocolate 4. Beret - white choco caramel, vanilla 5. 100% Paper (v) - passionfruit, orange, coconut 6. Tweed - tres leches w/ cake pieces 7. Strawberry Sorbet (v) I got my own small cup, and my friend did as well and got 4 different flavors. My selected flavors were the 100% Paper and Beret! My friend chose Tweed and Beret as well. Parking is free in the lot for the first hour, no need for validation. An's Hatmakers certainly fits the coastal part of Del Mar and will definitely be a busy attraction for most during any season. The gelato is fantastic and I can't wait for the next round up! read more

Good choices! Look forward to seeing you again, Vivian!
Had a great experience at An's dry cleaning so came to check out this sister location. Unfortunately the staff wasn't as friendly and seemed to be just going through the motions. The ice cream were good nonetheless and beanie was my favorite with bread pudding and nutella. read more

What's the long line outside about in Del Mar at 10pm? Yes, a unique chain of gelato ice cream joints offering interesting flavors. Very friendly and patient service offering samples of each day flavors to help you make "tasty" decision. Tried variety of about 6 unique monthly flavors on their menu for the day..explained by girl at the counter. Much to my family surprise, I chose two totally opposite taste scoops- pistachio based which was yummy and other a dark chocolate flavor. Portion size i was small n adequate, not too sweet, unlike few other places like Leatherby's ifykyk Interesting decor inside, apparently hat shop converted gelato shop and other outlets have interesting odd names like "An's dry cleaning" Definitely a spot to cool off near the Del Mar beach! read more

Thanks for coming in, Hemanth! Good choice on the combo, too.
It's a very small shop with limited seating inside. Be aware they only have 7 flavors available. The nice thing is they let you taste all of them before choosing your favorites to buy. Wish they have a few more than 7 flavors to choose from. Gelato flavors are unique and not something you get elsewhere. They are delicious. It's in a little plaze across the street from the beach. If you go upstairs, you can pretty much eat the ice-cream while enjoying the beach view. Come during non-peak hours to avoid waiting in a long line. read more
I Never had a Gelato Tour! And this was the Best Experience Ever!! I love the decorations ! And the energy this place gives! Makes the experience 10 times better!! The customer service is the Best!! Now i understand the long line and the wait! I hate making lines lol but for a Gelato Tour Experience !! I will make a line any day lol i had the Carbon Fiber and it was Delicious!! My daughters had the Vanilla Flavor and even that was Amazing!!! Love it! I will totally come here again and recommend this to everyone ! read more

We love to hear it! Thank you, Sandy!
One of my favorites! The flavors rotate, but when I see the ones I love, I always make a point to stop by. There's usually a line, but it moves quickly. I also appreciate how they limit the number of people inside so it never feels overcrowded. The staff has always been friendly, which adds to the experience. This time, I got a small for $6.45 (which is more than enough), and they added both the flavors I wanted Visor Pistachio and Tiramisu, which even had real chunks of ladyfingers. I really hope they bring those flavors back, along with the Italy themed lineup. They also had a variety of lemon flavors, which I don't normally go for, but they turned out to be the perfect summer treat. Bonus: they have a rewards program too! read more

If you're coming here looking for hats, you might as well stay because An's Hatmakers' specialty gelato will cap off your meal like no other, fill you up to the brim, and end up being your top (hat) choice when it comes to gelato! This local favorite has a sibling shop sharing the same "An" moniker but based on a different legacy shop (Dry Cleaning). This one in particular is decorated like an old timey hat shop but is anything but. As you walk in, you'll quickly glance at the tiny little menu up top but no worries, as a newcomer, the staff will take you through a tasting tour and introduce you to all of their flavors, one by one (oh but not before a lemon sorbet as a palate cleanser). It's no wonder the shop is frequently seen with a snake like crowd slithering out the door! I very much appreciated the hospitality and the thorough flight of flavors - not only did it help me find the flavor I wanted to bathe my tastebuds in but the experience in itself was fun and a true crowd pleaser for small parties of the uninitiated. On this particular visit, we had a pleasant trip through their creations. We were told that different locations carry different flavors and may rotate so hopefully you'll get a taste of the ones we tried but I am looking forward to coming back for another taste! FASCINATOR: Strawberry - solid and pretty much what you'd expect. Refreshing, tart, and light! 100% PAPER: Orange, Coconut, Passion Fruit - a bit of a tropical taste much like a classic dole whip. This one is easily a favorite for those looking to take a vacation through your mouth! BERET: Vanilla, White Chocolate, Caramel - good balanced flavors and classic combination for those looking for something sweet. TWEED: Tres Leches, Vanilla sponge cake - another classic flavor sure to please those with a sweet tooth. COPPOLA: Cream, nutella, cookies - great texture with the mix ins and creamy, nutty flavor that hits home for me. I almost got this one! VISOR: Pistachios - I'm not usually a fan of pistachio anything but this one had me raving! Bits of pistachio with the richness of the gelato just paired so well. Hands down enough reason to make your way here. CYPRESS: Midnight chocolate, cream. honey - this is bliss in darkness. Described to us as a brownie in gelato form, chocolate lovers need to try this. Pair it with a scoop of the pistachio and you've got a holy grail of a cone! They come in various sizes and if you're looking to get stuffed, get the cone. The small cup and cone can be topped with two flavors and that was enough to sell me into getting a stacked cone! There are a few seats inside and a few tables outside; since you're in San Diego, enjoy the sun a bit! Overall, An's Hatmakers will set a new bar for gelato with their high quality creations named appropriately to stay within theme of the shop's original trade. Whether you're a local or visitor, this has got to be a stop for you if you're into cold, creamy desserts! read more

An's is great! But the line is no joke and I had to wait around an hour. The flavor tour is a nice touch, the staff are friendly, and the decor is pretty charming. Flavors rotate frequently... this time, I had the mango passionfruit sorbet and the matcha strawberry gelato. Both were very solid with bright, refreshing fruit notes in the sorbet and a good balance of matcha with subtle strawberry in the gelato. read more
I'm a big fan of An's but I had only ever been to their Dry Cleaning location. I was in the Del Mar area and had to make a stop to the Hatmaker location! I've fallen even more in love with An's - the barrier of a 30-45 min long line at the Dry Cleaning location doesn't exist here!! It was truly amazing to walk in the store and walk right up to the counter (went on a sunday afternoon around 12:30pm) The flavors, as always, were all bangers - I got the Minky (coconut + pineapple sorbet) and the Visor (pistachio). I usually don't go for pistachio, but the Visor was actually so good - they even include whole bits of roasted pistachio! Continuously impressed by the quality and creativity of An's - it's no surprise they're #1. Free parking up to an hour in the garage, or find street parking. read more

OH MY GOSH THE PISTACHIO 10/10 THANK YOU FOE THIS that was the best pistachio gelato ive ever had. i appreciate that this place lets you try every flavor available, because i wasn't sure what to get at first. the small cup allows for two flavors but i still got a full scoop of just pistachio haha. the pineapple/coconut flavor was also delicious! the only reason i didn't get that flavor too was because i recently ate a lot of pineapple and coconut flavored things haha great ambiance too on a super pretty street with nice stores and restaurants. can't wait to come back read more

This ice cream shop is located in a cute shopping complex near the water. Upon opening the door, the wafts of buttery waffle cone aroma fill the air. When we got up to the counter, Marie offered us a flavor tour where she walked thru each of the flavors, their ingredients and gave us a sample. It was very informative and the ice cream was delicious! I ended up with the Coppola ans the California Surf ones in a waffle cone. It was delicious!! I can't wait to come back and bring family and friends! read more
Delicious gelatos! I love their attire theme and how they individually give you a flavor tour, allowing you to try everything before buying. All the flavors I had were amazing so it's hard to choose but in the end went with Chocolate and the Coconut Passionfruit. The Pistachio one would have been my next pick. Good vibes and super nice staffs! read more

A good problem to have! Thanks for coming in, Ploy.
Yay! As a San Diego local, I can't believe it took me THIS long to finally try An's Hatmakers! I kept hearing about the fun tasting experience, so I'm happy to have my own experiences to report on, now! I went on a weekend evening after dinnertime. Surprisingly, there was no line, just one group ahead of us! I suppose we got lucky. (After we left, there was a line that had formed.) There were seats inside and outside, though it was a bit chilly to eat gelato outdoors. The inside was very cutely decorated!! In true An's Hatmakers fashion, we were given a sampling tour of the different gelato flavors they had on rotation. This included fascinator (strawberry), 100% paper (coconut, orange, passionfruit), beret (vanilla, white chocolate, caramel), tweed (tres leches), coppola (cream, Nutella, cookies), visor (pistachio), and cypress (midnight chocolate). In my opinion, the fascinator was fresh, fruity, and undeniably strawberry. A very light-tasting option. Meanwhile, the visor had an unexpectedly pleasant pistachio flavor. Although I don't usually like pistachio, this was in my top 2 of the night! It wasn't overpowering or artificial at all. On the other hand, cypress was rather disappointing; it tastes like undercooked brownie batter, but I suppose that appeals to some crowds!! I also enjoyed the coppola, which was admittedly very sweet but somewhat unique. The gelato flavors were definitely fun and different! The quality was good, but it's not as creamy as I was hoping it would be (of course, it's not ice cream). As such, I think what makes An's unique is its selection of flavors. For the price, I don't know if I can justify coming back very often, but I do think it's a great option for a little sweet treat every once in a while! read more

An's Hat Makers is a fun, kitschy stop - especially for the experience. We went on a Sunday around 2pm and ended up waiting about 30 minutes. The service and the whole guided tasting/food tour aspect were absolutely 5-star: super friendly, organized, and genuinely enthusiastic about walking you through every flavor. Flavor-wise, everything was good and thoughtfully made, but the texture just wasn't my personal favorite. I've had better ice cream and gelato elsewhere, so while nothing was bad, it didn't totally wow me on that front. That said, it is a really unique experience - being able to try every flavor is fun, and the storytelling and vibe make it memorable. Worth checking out if you're curious or want something different, but for me, it's probably not worth a long wait if you're just craving top-tier ice cream. read more
I love coming here! All their flavors are so good, but I love the pistachio one especially. It's so fresh and tasty. It's a must visit spot for me every time I am in town! read more

Look forward to seeing you next time, Camila!
I first discovered this place through an instagram post advertising their "pho" flavor - unfortunately they don't have it anymore but their other flavors looked really good so I still really wanted to try it! Each flavor is named after different types of hats and the shop is decorated with hats as well. Before ordering, we were offered a "flavor tour," which is basically a sampling of every flavor they currently offer. I really loved this because I'm a super indecisive person but I'm also often too shy to ask for samples. Every flavor was very rich and delicious. I opted for the denim (banana & caramel) and cotton (rice pudding), but I also really liked the visor (roasted pistachio). I will say it is a bit pricey especially for the small cup, but the quality of the gelato is worth it. read more

So happy its here in delmar. Tried An's laundry on Adams ave and loved it. Its a small place but very well decorated. The name speaks it all. They have 3 sizes to choose from and can buy wafer cone separately too if getting a cup. Flavours are very interesting and described well so its easy to choose from. You can get a sample to try too. Its so creamy and flavorful. Servers are very patient and polite. I had jesters cap. Kids loved beret. read more

An's Hatmakers is a nice small shop for a delicious treat. It is in a former hat store so they have decorations of hats around the inside. It's not like a Lid's it's an old school hat store so think like The Kingsman. They allow you to sample all of the flavors as a tasting flight which is awesome. Phenomenal experience and the flavors are rich and it's a flavor explosion for the taste buds. read more

The wait for the place was insane. I wish they had a bigger location with more seating inside and space. The staff is super nice. It was our first time so they explained how they always switch the flavors every so often and even let us try each flavor as a sample. I did enjoy the flavors although it was weird to mix a fruity flavor with a sweet chocolate one. I love the concept of how they took on the theme of the previous owner and even contributed the interior to it. read more
Appreciate the taste tour. Love that they willingly offer customers a taste of each flavor. And unique flavors, at that! I was impressed by their pho flavored ice cream. I'm a sucker for one-of-a-kind flavors! :) Free 1-hour parking in the lot, also a plus. read more

If this business sounds familiar, that's because it is! Most San Diegans are no stranger to An's Dry Cleaning- they were named the Best Independent Ice Cream Shop in America! Well, this is their sister location and instead of posing as a dry cleaning business, they're venturing out as hat makers. Oh An's, you're so silly and we're all eating it up (literally)! An's Hatmakers debuts new flavors seasonally. If you're visiting for the first time (or the nth time), don't be shy and ask for their tour of flavors! They're never stingy with their samples. During this particular visit, we went with the Bobblehat (Strawberry Banana Sorbet) and the Coppola (Vanilla + Nutella Chocolate Cookie). Bobblehat tasted exactly like a creamy strawberry banana smoothie- you can really tell that they used real fruit! Coppola was just as delicious as it sounds- a classic combo! An's truly never disappoints. read more

I've gone to the An's Dry Cleaning on Adams Avenue and still haven't tried the Hatmakers location in Del Mar. I finally got the chance to on one of the times I was in the area. There was no line when my group and I came in and we ended up sampling all of the flavors that they had. I normally go for the seasonal flavors, but decided to get the Coppola, which had bits of cookie and Nutella in it. The portions here are pretty huge and the gelato is great. It's a different vibe from the one on Adams, which I thought was pretty neat. I recommend this spot if you are in Del Mar and looking for a spot for ice cream. Parking is free for 90 minutes I believe if you dine within the plaza. read more

Before my visit here, I had only ever been to the other location, An's Dry Cleaning. My friend told me about this location, and I was curious about how the quality and service would stack up. I'm glad to say that I had an even better experience here than at the other location! - There is a parking garage and you get 1 hour free! - Not as busy - Staff is just as welcoming and we also had a flavor "tour" - Delicious, smooth gelato that is definitely above competitors in my opinion Overall, I think I will be going to this location from now on. The menu does differ between this one and An's Dry Cleaning so be sure to do your research before visiting to see which flavors you'd prefer to have available. read more
