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!

A really cute ice cream shop (with other unique items and even happy hour!). 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!!

I usually buy the raspberry cake slice, the macarons, and Whoopie Cookies. I've purchased the cruffles and the macarons as gifts for my friends, and they're always adorned in a cute box with a ribbon bow. There are also gluten-free cupcakes available. They've never disappointed me and I often walk out of the store with a smile and my sweet tooth satisfied. Cons: Street parking can be tricky during busier times. However, it's about a 5 minute walk away from the Santa Rosa Plaza Mall. The cake slices and cupcakes lay on the buttercream pretty thick, which can get overly sweet. Overall: I had been going to Sift Dessert Bar since 2015, and when it closed in 2024, I was surprised to find that the location for the original Santa Rosa store is now owned by a former manager of Sift Dessert Bar! If you missed Sift Dessert Bar, you'll definitely love Blondie's Bakery Boutique. The colorful interior and sweet treats make this shop a must-visit. While I have ordered a cake from Sift Dessert Bar, I have not done so for Blondie's Bakery Boutique.

Service was decent but they didn't go out of their way for anything. Some manual labor because of the splattering of cream and 1 mini candy (yes mini and I mean the small Reese's tiny cup not the mini size - we're talking the ultra mini) mixed in to the ice cream prepared on the ice slab. I think they were going for an Instagram-able vibe but that is definitely was not. Save some money and goto Cold Stone.

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.

Seriously, you might think pie is pie, but no, there's pie, and then there's pie from Petaluma Pie Company. Friendly employee and clean area outside the shop is well. So that's good. My only complaint is the eco-friendly fork they provide is absolutely awful. Not sure if it's a Petaluma requirement but real plastic forks would be much appreciated. Regardless, this place is a must-try!

I could not wait to get home to try them and it was worth the wait. The young lady at the counter did make some suggestions in case I wanted to try something different other than a sweet pie. They had meat pies there too. I said I would probably try that next time. When we got home, we had dinner and we couldn't wait for dessert and it did not disappoint. We warmed them up in the oven and put a little bit of ice cream on top and it was simply wonderful. The apples and the apple pie were nice and tart and the berries were sweet. Definitely a place to return to, but if you don't know where it is, it might be a little difficult to find, but it's in a little. I guess you would call it an adjuster way nestled in between Starbucks and the deli. It's not too fancy inside, but they have all their pies and stuff on display.

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.
