We were here for vacation and found this cool ice cream place. There are so many varieties that we…read moreasked them for their popular ones and yet I got the chacobanga and rose scoops on a cone and a chocolate in a cup. The service is great and the vibe is cool, literally you feel you are in a tropical place with music, vibe and great ice cream with amazing interiors. I loved the ambience and it seemed like a family owned business. I highly recommend it if you're here in Petaluma, go look out for this place, you will thank me later.

Update: 7 years later, this place is still around and still amazing!…read more They do employee served samples. Flavors were great as was the texture. 2 Tutti Cow options (8 calorie an Oz flavors) - Texture on the brownie flavor was pretty close to what regular froyo texture is for a low calorie option. One super rich ice cream (in the froyo machine) - Texture was amazing! They also have regular ice creams. Horchata flavor also hit the spot. Toppings: The cookie dough and brownies are both little chunks so they look like they could be dicey, but they have more richness than your typical froyo shop. Toppings this time felt like standard fare. Can't believe there is a froyo shop that has been around so long! Very busy on a summer Sunday.

Who doesn't love dessert?! I've been to Tuttimelon for many years which is inside Vintage Oaks…read more They have a great selection of self serve fro yo. There is also gelato and sorbet available. On my most recent visit I got the orange sorbet from Dole. I've never had that flavor before and I absolutely loved it. Of course I had to put some chocolate toppings: crushed Oreos, Butterfinger, chocolate morsels with the sprinkles on them. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They keep the topping area clean and stocked. If you want a sample of one of the flavors you can ask them. There is also a punch card which is great!

Also be sure to bring a cooler with you to stock up - it's THAT GOOD!! Some of my personal favorites include: coffee caramel crunch, PBPretzel, Salted caramel, Brandy Caramel, Dark Chocolate orange, and Dark chocolate Raspberry. The ice cream is rich & creamy and the flavors are over the top fantastic! You're welcome! ;-)

Got a couple of good ice cream bars (vanilla with chocolate shell, some sort of fruit) and a frozen…read morebanana with chocolate shell at Hardly Strictly. They had lots of options. Ice cream was very creamy. Just a bit overpriced as the three bars cost me $22.

The only thing I regret about coming here is that now every single time I go to Petaluma I'm going…read moreto go out of my way to come back. 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 Spy With My Little Pie…read more This farm-to-table, locally-owned pie shop has been serving up both sweet and savory pie creations in Downtown Petaluma since 2010. They recently underwent an ownership change in 2024 from the OGs, but fortunately, instead of selling to a corporation, they sold it to an employee and his mother to help ensure the original ethos and quality remain intact. The Good: * Their pies are made with locally-sourced and organic ingredients bought from the local farmers market--as well as some fruit that they grow themselves! * Outdoor dog-friendly seating * As mentioned above, they have both sweet and savory pies. We only tried the sweet *oink oink* * Friendly service * Love that they have both full sized pies and smaller ones, so you don't have to commit to a big ol' pie. * We tried their Elvis (PB, banana, and chocolate) and their Black & Blue Crumble and they were both fabulous! I leaned a bit more to the B&B, as I absolutely adored that granola crumble on top, but the Elvis was no slouch either. The Meh: * Interior is small and very cramped. Definitely a grab-and-go type operation. The Ugly: * Parking in DT Petaluma can be a hassle, as it's street parking only, but at least it's free. Conclusion: Fantastic spot to scratch that 3.14 itch--and I'm always itchy!

This was my second time at Flour Chylde. First I'm thankful for any business that provides gluten…read morefree, & dairy free products. I checked their website first to avoid disappointments. Im super impressed that the ingredients were listed on each of the baked goods. As someone with multiple food sensitivities this is SO appreciated. I tried multiple items since I don't live close by. The shortbread / iced heart cookie was beautiful in presentation & taste. Crispy and delicious. I also ordered the meatloaf Sami. Very tasty & the bread was very moist. My family enjoyed sharing the chocolate stout cup cake. Wow! So moist and delicious. Lastly the coffee cake. I'm saving that one for later- and hope it's as good as I remembered. Clean & neat establishment, and helpful staff. They were able to answer each of my questions to help me avoid certain ingredients. It also helped they have items marked vegan, nut free options etc. highly recommend. Note: I arrived after the lunch hour so a lot of things were sold out- but still epic choices.

Love Darling and this one feel like it's for the locals, so I really love that!…read more I mean Sweet Scoops (their og location on the Sonoma plaza) is so fun and the vibe is total retro ice cream shop, which is cool, but if you just want nice ice cream and don't need the sjop experience to impress your visitors, go to Darling! Sonoma resident here, and honestly, tourist fatigue is real during the summer months when it's difficult to find any parking whatsoever within a 2-block radius of Sweet Scoops on the plaza - and when you just want a nice quality homemade ice cream it's such a bummer to have to hard-pass due to inability to easily and quickly access. SO Darling is the perfect alternative (same owners, same ice cream, same quality, slightly different vibe). Ice cream cones are actually ~25% less expensive than Sweet Scoops (with rents in the sometimes in upwards of $10k per lease, I guess this is NO surprise) and there is plenty of seating around the shared space pavilion out front if either of their two bistro table sets out front are occupied. Lines are short (or often non-existent) and they have a lovely selection of little gift items & cards plus their stand-up freezer with pints and celebratory confections, too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you try Darling when you're craving Sweet Scoops and the Film Festival or some other plaza-centric event has taken over the downtown area - it's a much better option if you're looking for a great ice cream versus the total old-fashioned ice cream shop experience. ***** 5-stars for Darling (Ice Cream)! *****

Here's what you need to know about Fairfax Scoop:…read more 1) Street parking can be challenging, especially early evenings and weekends. Be prepared to hunt for a spot and walk. I suggest looking on Bank Street, Mono Ave and Elsie Lane to start with. Go slowly and watch for people and bicycles. 2) It's a tiny shop and there may be a line. It could be long. Remember, one human can only physically scoop so much ice cream in a minute. The process cannot be rushed. Patience will be rewarded... I promise. 3) Have cash. 4) Their waffle cones and cups are handmade, so the crunchiness or chewyness may vary. Some may be more crunchy or or chewy than others. For me, I thought the flavor of the cone was awesome! 5) Study the daily ice cream flavor list as you approach the counter. Smile, ask for a waffle cone or cup. They come in kid or regular size. Specify how many scoops you want per cone/cup. 6) Remember, scooping ice cream for hours at a time isn't easy... and Scoop is very, very popular for a reason. Service was good and efficient.
