I've heard about Handel's Ice Cream for a long time but never had the chance to stop by. Today my…read more4-year-old daughter was craving ice cream, so we finally decided to give it a try. I ordered a waffle bowl with pistachio ice cream, and for my daughter I got a cone with strawberry ice cream. The ice cream wasn't overly sweet, and the flavor was really nice and well balanced. The staff were very friendly and quick. The price is also reasonable compared to other ice cream shops around the area, especially since it's close to the beach. Parking can be a bit tricky because of the beach area, but that's something you kind of expect when you're nearby.

Stella Jean's new seasonal flavors, Matcha Yuzu and Banana Turon, are seriously so good and 100%…read moreworth seeking out. I ended up going twice just for the Matcha Yuzu and got a scoop on a cone each time. It's such a great summer flavor, super refreshing with a nice citrus kick from the yuzu. The matcha isn't too in your face either, which I really liked! The Banana Turon was a little harder to track down since it kept selling out, but luckily a friend grabbed me two pints when it restocked and honestly it did not disappoint. Those caramelized turon crunch bits are so addictive, I could easily finish a whole pint by myself no problem. I also tried making a matcha float with the banana turon and the flavors worked together really well, highly recommend giving it a shot. The staff is always super friendly and the service is quick. There's also plenty of seating if you want to hang outside and enjoy the sun, or you can grab your scoop and take a stroll around Carlsbad. Either way you really can't go wrong!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Stella Jean's Ice Cream is a California-based ice cream shop that focuses on small-batch,…read moresuper-premium, and locally made ice cream. While most of Stella Jean's locations are in San Diego, there is also a shop in Orange County inside The LAB in Costa Mesa. This specific shop is located inside the Cottages near Carlsbad Village. [Parking]: There's a parking lot right next to the Cottages, but it can be challenging to find available spots. Other public parking and street parking options are available in this part of the neighborhood. [Menu]: The staff lets customers sample various ice cream flavors, but the top Yelp highlighted flavors are Ube + Pandesal Toffee, Brown Butter Pecan, and Sweet Mango Sticky Rice. *** Ube + Pandesal Toffee (kids scoop - $4.95): It was solid, but I can't exactly say it was the best ice cream I have ever had. It did melt pretty quickly. *** This is a nice spot with outdoor tables for customers to sit down and enjoy their ice cream.

Lines build pretty quickly but the staff handles them well. I took the initiative of narrowing down my purchases prior to making my way to the front just to avoid delays. The unique flavors are all very enticing so locking in on one can be difficult. Luckily for us, this ice cream shop offers half scoops so you aren't forced to commit to one. PURCHASES: *Standard x2 [2 half scoops of ice cream so you are able to try more than one flavor] -Milkiest Chocolate & Banana Cream Pudding [dairy free] -Double Dough & Black Tie Tiramisu Everything here is creamy- dare I say, some of the creamiest ice creams I've ever had. My favorite is 100% black tie tiramisu. The least favorite was the banana cream pudding- most likely due to the diary free aspect. 4 stars overall. Seating may be challenging but with our visit being on a warm night, crowds opted to stand outside or ended up sitting in truck beds.

I have no idea how I haven't found this place for the past 20 years, but I'm gonna start coming every day. The second I walked in I got welcomed by amazing art on the wall and a chair that I love to sit in. The lady is very good at cleaning the machines she's doing it as I speak. Also, I love license plates. And to make it even better, they have one from every single state on the wall. Like could this get any better but wait there's more. They had paper towels.!!!!!' this is a great addition to add because if I got messy, I had paper towels just in case. It's a great vibe this music playing 24/7 which I love. if I wanted, I could spend my whole life in this yogurt shop. Where else in town are you supposed to fill your cup as much as you want only for $4.75 are you kidding me. This is insane.!!! The only flaw is this spoons or green. If I could give criticism, I would like the spoon to be red and blue. I love this place so much that I decide to write a poem about it. Here it is hope you enjoy .. First time at Yogurt Shack, what a sight to see, Fill your cup as high as you want--only $4.75? That's a steal to me. Smiles everywhere, the vibes are kind, One of those places that just lifts your mind. Walls covered loud, opinions on display, Didn't expect the décor, but hey--that's part of the day. The yogurt? Unreal. Creamy, cold, divine, Every single flavor felt like a win in its prime. Sweet bites, good energy, memories made, Honestly one of the best stops I've ever had. Came for the yogurt, stayed for the cheer, Yogurt Shack--you've got me coming back, that's clear Overall, I just wanna say there's not one thing I would change about the yogurt shack to make this place even better while I'm writing this review I can see that they have a Padres logo hung up at the top on a disco ball like that's insane. I love the Padres so much and can just get any better. It feels like I'm in a dream right now. This is unreal. Bring all your friends bring your family. Bring Donald Trump. Get them all to come here. By far the best yogurt shop in the entire world!!!!!!!! Peace out and see you soon!
