    Matcha with Oreo
    Whitnie B.

    Bring back the matcha soft serve or at least update the signage to reflect that flavor is no longer available. Went to get matcha soft serve and I was given a scoop of matcha ice cream which doesn't compare. The staff were nice and offered me a different scoop, which I took, but the ice cream was a weird consistency and partial melted already. Staff said a lot of flavors are off the menu that still show on signage. Please update the menu and signage to reflect what the store currently offers and bring back matcha soft serve please

    Ice cream is delicious always hits the spot. Service is fast you're in and out of there. Very busy place definitely has a lot of people coming in. It's a cool little spot right on the harbor.

    I like coastal cone for their sorbet. My niece likes them for literally everything else because according to her 'they have so much good stuff'. Service is always friendly and never rushed. They offer samples but I always get one of their sorbets. Ample parking in a large lot (free only on some days and not the weekends), they are facing the harbor and not the parking lot so you have to walk in to see them.

    After trying the hot fish with the cream from coastal cone... I am obsessed. Everytime I go to the harbor I have to stop and get an order. They are so good and fresh off the press. You almost have to wait a few because they are so hot. The cream on the inside is delicious. The ice cream always looks good as well. But I like these too much to get anything else. This is one of my nieces favorite ice cream shops. They are always busy even on a cold windy day like today. That's how you know it's good!

    Great experience! As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the employees. They told us the fish cone would take about five minutes to make and it was absolutely delicious. It was warm and had Nutella inside. The ice cream was creamy and had a great texture. Not pictured was the Oreo Tsunami Milkshake which was thick and had a good amount of Oreos in there. Will be visiting again :)

    what a lovely place to grab ice cream and walk alonside the harbor. there are so many flavors offered. the staff were really accommodating -- I wanted the ube-matcha remix soft serve and they ran out but they offered the ube soft serve atop the matcha ice cream, which we got with the fish cone ($9.50). loved the fish cone itself -- it was crispy outside and chewy inside. freshly made, it contrasted well with the ice cream. the ube was strong and the texture was good. the matcha was kind of light in color and more icy than creamy but still tasted of matcha. would visit again!

    Coastal Cone is a great spot for ice cream cones and sundaes in the Ventura harbor. I definitely understand its popularity, with only so many super kid free options for dining and snacks in the harbor, it's a treat I'm sure many kids look forward to when they come. I mean who doesn't love a good ice cream shop? Always delicious smells coming from this spot as they bake their famous fish ice cream cones. Cute decor and signage makes this place inviting. Since I'm not a huge sweets fan, you'll never catch me coming here when there is a long line lol. Which sometimes there is. However, I've wondered in a few times off speak hours when there were no lines and I could grab a quick bite. I'm one of those people who really has to be in the mood for ice cream. So I've only been here like 3 times in the last 10 years. Upon my most recent visit last week, I came in on a dreary day and there were almost no customers. Staff were friendly but nothing over the top or memorable. They got me in and out which is A-okay on my books. I opted for the pineapple coconut ice cream and it hit the spot. Delicious. Also I will give them credit for it only being one scoop they did load it pretty big. Mainly the reason for my one star just comes down to pricing. Almost $7 for a one scoop cone. To me it's not worth the price but yes, when having a random craving it's fine. But for a family of 5 that's as much as dining in somewhere for a simple ice cream. Idk how people afford it. All of that to say, coastal cone is great for the community, good ice cream, just a bit too pricey for them to be on my regular rotation.

    On busy weekends, there are long lines. But it goes quick and they are very well organized on how they handle crowds. Ordered a pineapple float and triple seas drink! Yummy!! Great view. People watching is awesome. Grab a treat and just sit, relax and watch the boats, people and listen to music.

    Everytime we come to Ventura harbor, we have to come to coastal cone. Everything slaps! The crew is always friendly. There is patio seating with a nice view of the harbor. I usually order one of their signature fish cones. Today I ordered a classic fudge sundae. It was $14. I thought it was a little pricey for a basic sundae, buuuuut I did share it withy husband, so what's whatever.

    Located right next to the water, Coastal Cone has long been a staple at the Ventura Harbor. It's a great treat to enjoy while walking around. It's also right across the street from the beach, so a quick hop to grab a sweet treat while sitting in the sun. Their menu is so fun and filled with so many different choices that you'd be hard-pressed to not find something you'd like. Their Ube Island was delicious - generous portion of Ube soft serve with Oreo crumbles. A great combination of soft ice cream with the crunchy Oreos. They can definitely get busy here, but they're like a well-oiled machine inside - very efficient with lots of different lines open. It's worth the wait.

    I love this little ice cream shop within the Ventura Harbor! It's adorable and very Instagram worthy, but I do wish they had more vegan options-- especially for the cones. I can no longer do dairy and not being able to get my sorbet in a fish was just so sad!!!! I did like what I ended up with, which was a mango sorbet in a cup, but it was pricey being a kids cup and one scoop in a very small size for over seven dollars. I did take a little tiki skewer and add it to my cone because I thought it was so cute and since it's the holidays at the harbor, it matched nicely with the festively lit up trees.

    This is a very popular spot at the harbor. Be prepared to wait forever for your selection as it is always crowded. Not a spot that I have to go to necessarily but plenty of ice cream selections. Not a very sit down friendly place. They kindly ask you to wait outside for your name to be called to get your selection. There are seats on the inside, but I don't know who's lucky enough to be able to sit down in those. Good luck.

    Yummy ice cream, there are many flavors to choose from. The costal fish cone was a fun twist and perfect for the area. Very kid friendly.

    How much are those zookies like fish pancakes?

    2 for $6.50

    Do they have anything thats vegan?

    I think they may have some sherbet that is dairy free.

    One of the reviews said the shop is very dog friendly. Do they regularly have dogs there then? I want to take my kids there but have one that is terrified of dogs due to a bad incident.

    I haven't seen any inside while ordering... but I've seen dogs tied up to the tables or chairs while people are eating. People also walk their dogs on the sidewalk regularly.

The building is an original, 60s beach modern. It's a bit rundown, but it's clean and the staff is friendly, with plenty of parking and seating. Large menu of various burger shack food items: burgers, hot dogs, tacos, (fried!) burritos, chicken, fries, rings and of course, their famous soft serve! The soft serve is the thickest and creamiest, and comes in all shapes including cones, dips, sundaes, malts, blizzards and our favorite, their shakes. I have not had a better strawberry shake anyplace, including expensive ice cream shops. The crinkle fries are always hot and crispy and the food items are what you would expect - fast food but a notch up from the major chains. It's cash only and like most places, prices have increased over the last few years, but we will continue to return whenever we are in the area or passing through.

I get to it and here is what I notice:…read more1) Parking area is full of potholes 2) They only take cash 3) Only had one flavor of ice cream...vanilla 4) They charge $5 for a basic single cone of ice cream that is 3 inch tall ( including the cone. I understand they sell other things but how tf are you gonna call yourself "foster freeze" when you only have one measly flavor of ice cream. And what kind of shady place only takes cash. This is not a taqueria. Lastly for 5 dollars I can buy a pint of ice cream ffs. What a dissapointment. Not worth coming here to damage you car's alignment. If youre gonna spend money for ice cream, go to dairy queen or baskin robins. The places best days are behind it.

I usually buy ice cream from a truck, but today I felt like going to a store, so I visited. The store's interior is classic and reflects Mr. Softee's history. Looking at the old photographs displayed in the store, you can see that Mr. Softee has been loved by people for a long time. I usually order a simple vanilla soft-serve ice cream from the truck, but since I was at the store, I decided to try something different. I had a strawberry sundae, and my friend had a warm chocolate cookie sundae. Of course, both were delicious. The ice cream here is simple and reminds me of the ice cream I had as a child. They also sell original merchandise in the store, which was really fun. It's a fun place for both children and adults.

A while back I read a Mister Softee review by my Yelp friend Gina. She had rented the truck for a family party and wrote about how great the experience was. That's where I got the idea. But instead of a family party, I thought it would be fun to have a party for all the kids on our street. Our street is filled with kids! I mean, the street is only like two blocks long, but there are well over twenty kids. They're out there every day, riding bikes, shooting hoops, running around without a care in the world. Good times! My Wife designed and printed up invitations, then went door to door up and down the street to personally invite everyone. She already knows pretty much everyone, so the Parents were cool with the idea. So today was the big day. I was super excited when the Mister Softee Truck pulled up and parked right in front of my house. And then the driver turned on the music. Aw yeahhhh! And that's when the kids started coming. Big kids, little kids, Parents carrying kids, so many kids. A small line formed. It was a trip watching what the kids ordered. They got to pick whatever they wanted from the menu. They could pick a Cone, a Sundae, a Shake, Ice Cream Sandwich, even a Banana Split. It cracked me up how many ordered a small cone. I mean, not even dipped. Just a plain old small cone. Such a sensible order! I loved it!!!! One little guy ordered a Root Beer Float. I was like, that would've been my order at his age too. I like how the Mister Softee Truck serves their Root Beer Floats: they give you the rest of the can of Root Beer they use to make the float. A couple kids needed a non-dairy alternative, and I was relieved that the Mister Softee Truck had some attractive options like Sno Cones or colorful frozen ice treats. Most of the kids enjoyed their treat right there next to the truck. Parents took photos of their kids and kids chased ice cream drips down their arms with their tongues, as kids do. All of the kids and their parents were super appreciative and thanked my wife and I for the party. We thanked them for coming. There were clearly a lot of happy kids on our street today, but I don't think any could've been happier than me. Thank you to my neighbors, and all the neighborhood kids Thank you Mister Softee! And most importantly, Thank You to my wonderful Wife for enthusiastically supporting my idea right from the start. Mikey C says: Oreo Swirl for me!
